CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “EXCHANGE”)

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a high investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

According to the Valuation Report by B.I. Appraisals Limited (the “Valuer”), the market value of 100% of Shenzhen Taoaoto was approximately RMB186 million as at 31 August 2012 (the “Valuation”). The valuation method used was market approach method by applying the median price-to-earnings multiple (“PER”) of comparable companies of 9.3 to the adjusted 12-month net profit of Shenzhen Taoaoto (the “Adjusted Net Profit”) which involves the projection of the net profit of Shenzhen Taoaoto up to February 2013. Hence the Valuation constitutes a profit forecast under Rule 19.61 of the GEM Listing Rules. The major assumptions adopted in the Valuation Report are:

  • All relevant legal approvals and business certificates or licenses to operate the business in the localities in which Shenzhen Taoaoto operates or intends to operate would be officially obtained and renewable upon expiry;

  • Shenzhen Taoaoto will be operating as planned;

  • The projected revenue, which is determined based on the number and amounts of negotiating and estimated new contracts, and which is considered to be fair and reasonable, will be materialized;

  • There will be sufficient supply of technical staff in the industry in which Shenzhen Taoaoto operates, and Shenzhen Taoaoto will retain competent management, key personnel and technical staff to support its ongoing operations and developments;

  • There will be no major change in the current taxation laws in the localities in which Shenzhen Taoaoto operates or intends to operate and that the rates of tax payable shall remain unchanged and that all applicable laws and regulations will be complied with;

  • There will be no major change in the political, legal, economic or financial conditions in the localities in which Shenzhen Taoaoto operates or intends to operate, which would adversely affect the revenues attributable to and profitability of Shenzhen Taoaoto; and

  • Interest rates and exchange rates in the localities for the operation of Shenzhen Taoaoto will not differ materially from those presently prevailing.

In assessing the Valuation, the Directors have reviewed the Valuation Report prepared by the Valuer and discussed with and enquired the Valuer about different aspects including the bases and assumptions based upon which the Valuation has been prepared.

Given the business nature of Shenzhen Taoaoto and it is not an asset-based company and its operations have been generating positive earnings, its value derives from its business prospects and income generating ability instead of its asset base. Therefore, the Valuation is not determined based on its net asset value of Shenzhen Taoaoto as it would not reflect the economic benefits of Shenzhen Taoaoto’s business.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In arriving at the Valuation, PER, a commonly used valuation multiple for valuing a company, was adopted by the Valuer. Median PER of comparable companies and Adjusted Net Profit are two of the major components in determining the Valuation.

In arriving at the median PER of comparable companies of 9.3 (the “ Adopted PER ”), the Valuer has identified listed companies with the following selection criteria: (i) principally engaged in air ticketing and hotel reservation businesses; (ii) with sufficiently long trading history; and (iii) with financial information available to public, as comparable companies for estimation. The Valuer has also considered the PERs for listed companies around the world which engaged in similar business as Shenzhen Taoaoto (the “ Industry PER ”). The range of the Industry PERs are diverse, the median Industry PER is around 21 as set out in the Valuation Report. Furthermore, the Valuer has also considered the PERs for those comparables which have principal place of businesses in Asia (the “ Asia PER ”), which are considered to be operated in similar geographical region as Shenzhen Taoaoto, the range of Asia PERs are also diverse, the median Asia PER is around 21 as set out in the Valuation Report. Given (i) the similarity in the business nature and operations of the comparable companies and Shenzhen Taoaoto; (ii) the Adopted PER is at the low end of the range of both Industry PERs and Asia PERs; and (iii) the Adopted PER of 9.3 is much lower than the median Industry PER and the median Asia PER of around 21, the Directors consider the Adopted PER used adopted by the Valuer in determining the Valuation to be justifiable.

In respect of the Adjusted Net Profit, it has been derived based on (i) historical financial information of Shenzhen Taoaoto from 1 March 2012 to 31 August 2012 and (ii) projection of net profit of Shenzhen Taoaoto from 1 September 2012 to 28 February 2013. Revenue projection of Shenzhen Taoaoto (the “ Revenue Forecast ”) is a major component included in net profit projection of Shenzhen Taoaoto which is determined with reference to the existing business model of Shenzhen Taoaoto and its proposed business development strategies as set out in the section headed “Information on the Target Group”.

The Revenue Forecast has been determined by management of Shenzhen Taoaoto with reference to (i) existing franchise agreements; (ii) the number of projected franchise agreements; (iii) the historical airport passenger traffic growth rate in major first tier and second tier cities in the PRC; (iv) the level of competition for similar air ticketing business in such cities; and (v) business plan of Shenzhen Taoaoto as set out in the section headed “Information on the Target Group”. Shenzhen Taoaoto intends to expand its business through franchise network expansion scheme to major cities in the PRC, initially focuses at the first-tier cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin. The Directors have (i) reviewed the business plan, financial information, existing franchise agreements of Shenzhen Taoaoto and the Revenue Forecast; (ii) discussed and enquired the Valuer concerning the assumptions of the Revenue Forecast; (iii) reviewed the operational and market information of Shenzhen Taoaoto; and (iv) discussed with management of Shenzhen Taoaoto regarding its status of negotiation with potential franchisees. Based on the foregoing, the Directors consider the assumptions for the Revenue Forecast to be fair and reasonable.

In view of the above and after taking into account (i) the Valuer’s work performed, factors considered and bases and assumptions adopted by Valuer in arriving at the Valuation (details are set out in the paragraph headed “Business Valuation” of the Valuation Report in

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Appendix VI of this circular); (ii) the Valuation was determined using generally accepted valuation approaches in accordance with the professional standard governing valuation; (iii) the personnel carrying out the valuation possess relevant qualification and expertise; (iv) future prospect and its income producing capability of Shenzhen Taoaoto according to its management after taking into account of its proposed business strategies as set out in the section headed “Information on the Target Group”; (v) historical business performance of Shenzhen Taoaoto; and (vi) due and careful enquiry made by the Directors regarding the bases and assumptions used in the Valuation with the Valuer, the Directors consider that the assumptions of the Valuation to be fair and reasonable.

In assessing the fair and reasonableness of the profits projection prepared by the management for the 12 months period during 1 March 2012 to 28 February 2013, the financial adviser to the Company has (i) reviewed the historical financial information of Shenzhen Taoaoto for the period from 1 March 2012 to 31 August 2012; (ii) reviewed the schedule of revenue projection of Shenzhen Taoaoto from 1 September 2012 to 28 February 2013 in connection with projected revenue of signed contracts, contracts under negotiation and estimated new contracts; (iii) discussed and enquired the management on contract signing status and bases of estimating contract amount for estimated new contracts for deriving projected revenue; (iv) discussed and enquired the management on the basis in identifying targeted cities for business expansion of Shenzhen Taoaoto. The management has identified targeted cities with reference to air passenger traffic growth in the PRC in major first tier and second tier cities and level of competition of air ticketing business in those cities; (v) reviewed the schedule of profits projection of Shenzhen Taoaoto; (vi) discussed and enquired with the management for the bases and assumptions adopted in preparing the profits projection of Shenzhen Taoaoto; (vii) reviewed sample of signed contract; and (viii) discussed with management of the business development, operations, affairs and future prospects of Shenzhen Taoaoto. In view of the above, the financial adviser to the Company considers the profits projection of Shenzhen Taoaoto to be fair and reasonable.

According to the Valuation Report, market value of 55% equity interest in Shenzhen Taoaoto is approximately RMB102.3 million (equivalent to approximately HK$124.8 million) as at 31 August 2012. The Consideration represents a discount of approximately 11.9% to the market value of 55% equity interest in Shenzhen Taoaoto.

Given that (i) the valuation approach adopted in the Valuation is a commonly adopted and well recognized methodology in business valuation which indicates the market value of the Target Group; (ii) major bases and assumptions made in connection with the Valuation are fair and reasonable; and (iii) the Consideration represents a discount to the market value of 55% equity interest in Shenzhen Taoaoto according to the Valuation, the Directors consider the Consideration to be fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Shareholders as a whole.

The Valuation Report is set out in Appendix IV to this circular. The letter from Fortune Financial Capital Limited, financial adviser to the Company, on the Valuation Report is set out in Appendix V to this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

For the eight months ended 31 August 2012, revenue from the joining fees of the franchise scheme contributed over 99% of the total revenue to the Target Group. The revenue from commissions through the online platform, telephone hotline and Shenzhen office accounted for less than 1% of the total revenue.

Suppliers

The Target Group obtains the supply of air tickets from airline companies through China Air Transport Association (“CATA”) or through other CATA agencies. Shenzhen Taoaoto is a member of CATA. It has obtained the China Civil Air Transport Sales Agency Services Certificate for Category 2 Passenger transport and is entitled to sell air tickets for domestic flights in the PRC. Currently the Target Group has entered into cooperation agreements with four airline companies from Guangdong, Sichuan, Yunnan and Hainan and two CATA agencies in Shenzhen for the right to sell air tickets available from these suppliers. All the cooperation agreements are non-exclusive and are for a term of one to two years. The Target Group will continue to broaden its alliance with other airlines and agencies to strengthen its competitiveness.

The Target Group obtains hotel accommodations either directly with the hotels or through other hotel agencies. In order to provide more competitive rates for customers, the Target Group has entered into strategic agreements with over 100 hotels and hotel agencies in most of the first and second tier cities in the PRC including Shenzhen, Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Wuhan, Xian and Changsha offering special discounts to the Target Group. All the strategic agreements are non-exclusive and are for a term of one year. The Target Group will continue to broaden its alliance with other hotels in order to strengthen its competitiveness.

Revenue and costs

The major revenue of the Target Group comes from (i) the commissions paid by airlines from the sales of air tickets, (ii) commissions paid by hotels from the sales of hotel accommodations and (iii) the joining fees paid by franchisees.

The commissions from air ticket sales are recognized upon confirmation and payment by the customers of the transaction. The commissions receivable by the Target Group will usually be settled one day after the transaction. The revenue from air tickets commissions is largely determined by the volume of sales and the rate of commissions. The rates of commissions from different airlines vary. Generally the airlines will offer better rates for agencies with larger volume of sales.

The commissions from hotel accommodation sales are recognized upon confirmation and payment by the customers of the transaction. The Target Group adopts a credit policy of one month for settlement of commissions from hotel accommodation sales. The revenue from hotel commissions is linked to the volume of sales and the rate of commissions.

The joining fees from franchisees are payable within 6 months after signing of the franchise agreement. The joining fees comprise of a one-off admission fee and the annual service fees for using the Target Group’s online platform. The one-off admission fees are

– 16 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

recognized upon signing of the franchise agreement. The annual service fees are recognized annually. The revenue from franchise joining fees will depend on the number of franchisees joining the Target Group’s franchise scheme.

Upon receipt of the payments from customers for air tickets, the Target Group will pay to the supplier on the next day after the transaction. For hotel accommodation, the Target Group will pay the relevant hotels on a monthly basis. For commissions payable to franchisees, the Target Group will settle on a monthly basis.

The major components of the Target Group’s operating costs being staff costs, commissions to franchise agents and office rental. The Target Group employs a majority of its staff in maintaining the 24 hours telephone hotline system. The commissions payable to franchisees will be directly proportional to the volume of sales through such franchisees.

Business plan and strategies

By the combination of the online platform and the telephone hotline system, the Target Group aims to create an efficient and comprehensive e-commerce network for suppliers, agents, franchisees and customers for air ticketing, hotel bookings and other travel services.

In view of the importance and benefits of maintaining a comprehensive integrated system of the Target Group for handling great amount of data from the online platform and telephone hotline system for handling the information flow among the customers, agents, franchisees and the suppliers, the Target Group will continue to review, optimize and upgrade its IT infrastructure for strengthening and enhancing its e-commerce capability. In order to enhance the transaction efficiency and stability of the e-commerce network of the Target Group, servers will be established in major cities in the PRC. Furthermore, having considered the growing popularity of internet access through wireless devices, such as smartphones and tablets, the Target Group will conduct research and development in introducing booking applications and platform through wireless devices. In addition, the Target Group will also introduce other secured online payment means for promoting customers confidence in conducting online transactions through the Target Group’s e-commerce network.

The Target Group’s franchise scheme attracts keen agents to join the Target Group’s sales force and provides a major thrust to the Target Group’s expansion in the industry. According to the business plan of the Target Group, in order to build up a business network of the Target Group at a relatively fast pace and to better promote its market recognition and brand awareness, the Target Group will pursue its business expansion through its franchise scheme. Management of the Target Group considers that leveraging on the local knowledge and network of the franchisees, it will enable the Target Group quickly establishing its customer base. However, due to the sharing of commissions with franchisees under the franchise scheme, the profit margin enjoyed by the Target Group will inevitably be further reduced. The Target Group considers that the strong growth in customer base provided by the franchise scheme will compensate for the reduced profit margin. The Target Group will rely on its large customer base to provide a diverse and stable source of commission income notwithstanding the reduced profit margin as a result of the sharing of commission under the franchise scheme.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The number of franchisees of the Target Group has increased from 19 as at 31 August 2012 to 36 as at 31 December 2012 and the resulting revenue from joining fees of franchisees has increased by approximately 69% from August to December 2012. After analyzing passenger traffic among airports in the PRC, in 2013, the Target Group will continue to extend further its business penetration through franchise scheme primarily in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin in the PRC. First tier cities have relatively higher per capita income and higher airport passenger traffic for capturing prospective business potential in air ticket and travel industry. After having established its market presence in first-tier cities in the PRC, given the high airport passenger traffic in these cities, it is expected that the commission income of the Target Group from air ticket and hotel accommodation sales will increase substantially and become a significant recurring revenue source of the Target Group. In order to maintain the growth momentum of the Target Group, after gaining foothold in first tier cities, the Target Group will further expand its business penetration in other cities in the PRC which recorded relatively higher growth rate in terms of airport passenger traffic, such as Chongqing, Xiamen, Wuhan, Urumqi and Zhengzhou.

According to its business plan, the Target Group expects to have 79 and 102 franchisees by the end of 2013 and 2014 respectively. Initially the Target Group will rely heavily on the one-off joining fees of the franchise scheme. The revenue from the joining fees of franchisees will plateau after 2013. On the other hand, given the established vast customer base built upon the franchise scheme, the Target Group expects that recurring commission income will increase substantially in 2013 and become the major source of its revenue after 2014.

In establishing the franchise network, the Target Group will conduct marketing activities such as outdoor and media advertising, exhibitions and conventions organized at target cities of the PRC to raise market awareness generally, to introduce the franchise scheme to the public and attract interested agents to join the scheme.

Based on the Target Group’s strong background in air ticketing services, the Target Group will continue to expand its services in hotel bookings and into other new areas of services such as holiday packages, corporate customers and international travels. The Target Group aims to become one of the leaders in providing comprehensive travel services in the PRC.

In order to further strengthen its competitiveness, the Target Group will continue to expand its supplier network for both air tickets and hotel accommodation. Currently the Target Group has entered into cooperation agreements with four medium size airline companies for the supply of air rickets. With the Target Group’s track record of cooperation with these medium size airlines, the Target aims to expand its cooperation with large size leading airlines. The Target Group is currently negotiating with two leading airlines companies based in Beijing and Shanghai for the supply of air tickets. In respect of cooperation with other CATA agencies, the Target Group is currently negotiating with two well-known national agencies for cooperation. It is expected that cooperation with these large scale airlines and agencies will enable the Target Group to provide more diverse choice of products at competitive pricing. In respect of expansion of hotel accommodations suppliers network, the Target Group will focus on expansion of cooperation with 4-star

In return the members will be entitled to enjoy free air tickets, hotel accommodations and other privileges prescribed by the Target Group.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW AND COMPETITION

Despite the downturn of the global airline industry, air travel is booming in China. In 2012, China’s domestic aviation passenger market becomes the second largest in the world. In 2011, total number of passengers transported by China’s civil aviation reached 293

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

million, about of which 21 million were travelled by international airlines. The total number of passengers transported by China’s civil aviation in 2011 was 9.5% more than that of 268 million in 2010. With the increasing demand of air tickets, online air ticketing will become a commonplace due to its convenience.

Other than several major market leaders such as NASDAQ listed Ctrip.com International Ltd. and eLong, Inc., the majority of the air ticketing agents in the PRC consist of small to medium size enterprises. The Target Group competes with these small to medium size air ticketing agents. The Target Group considers that it has the following competitive strengths:

  • (i) the use of an advanced online platform and telephone hotline system to create a comprehensive e-commerce network;

  • (ii) experienced management;

  • (iii) rapid expansion of sales force by way of the franchise scheme;

  • (iv) membership program to boost sales and enhance customer loyalty.

RISKS FACTORS IN RELATION TO THE TARGET GROUP’S BUSINESS AND THE ACQUISITION

The Target Group is a start-up business with relatively short track record and there is no assurance that its business will be successfully developed

The Target Group is a new start up and has relatively short track record of revenue generating. The business relationship of the Target Group with its customers is relatively short on average as it has only begun its business operations recently. In light of the short business relationships, there is no assurance that the customers will continue to place orders with the Target Group or that they will not turn to alternative suppliers. Should the Target Group fail to conduct business with its customers on the long term, its business operations and financial performance may be adversely affected.

Reliance on suppliers

Success of the Target Group depends on the range of travel products, namely air tickets and hotel accommodations it can offer to the customers. This is in turn dependent on the Target Group’s ability to source and be granted access to the travel products of its suppliers.

Generally, supply agreements entered by the Target Group with its travel products suppliers are non-exclusive. In the event that the Target Group is unable to maintain satisfactory relationships with its existing travel products suppliers, or if its travel products suppliers establish similar or more favorable relationships with competitors of the Target Group, operating results and business of the Target Group may be adversely affected. An insufficient or untimely supply of air tickets and hotel rooms by the Target Group will affect its ability to meet its customers’ needs, thus it may adversely affect profitability of the Target Group. Moreover, the Target Group’s position in the market may also be adversely affected.

Reliance on external systems and services

The Target Group is dependent on its information technology systems/networks and integration of its systems/networks with those of its travel products suppliers for conducting business. In the event that systems of the Target Group become outdated and cease to be compatible with the systems of its travel products suppliers, or if new technologies which

– 21 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

the Target Group implements cannot successfully interface with its travel products suppliers in the intended manner or timescale, the delivery of services by the Target Group to its customers may be adversely affected.

Reliance on key management

The Target Group’s operation is dependent on the management, expertise and experience of its key management. If the Target Group is unable to retain these key personnel and key employees or if the Target Group is unable to find replacements of key personnel and key employees with comparable experience and expertise, the business operation of the Target Group may be adversely affected.

Investment in new business sector for the Group

The Acquisition constitutes an investment in a new business sector, being travel services and air ticketing business in PRC, in which the Group has no previous involvement. The new business may pose significant challenges to the Company’s administrative, financial and operational resources and expose the Group to a risk profile which may be different from that of its existing business. Since the Company does not have significant experience in the new business, the operation and future expansion will rely on the expertise of the existing staff of the Target Group.

Competition in the PRC air ticketing industry

The air ticketing industry in which the Target Group operates is subject to rapid change and competition from other air ticketing agents providing similar products. Some of the competitors may have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, larger teams of professional staff, greater brand recognition and greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than the Target Group. As such, if the Target Group is unable to compete effectively against the existing and potential competitors by maintaining the Target Group’s competitive advantages or to timely respond to the competitors’ pricing strategies, technological advances, strategic partnerships and other initiatives, the Target Group’s results of operations may be adversely affected.

In addition, any increase in competition may adversely affect the Target Group’s market share. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on the Target Group’s financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.

The Target Group’s results may fluctuate from period to period due to seasonal factors and other factors

The air ticketing and travel industry business is inherently seasonal during the year, whereby sales volume of travel products (air tickets and hotel accommodation) will increase during holiday periods such as Chinese New Year Holiday in February, Labor Day in May and National Day in October each year, and decrease during off-peak times and prices of such travel products are subject to fluctuation between peak seasons and low seasons. Furthermore, travel activities are also subject to various factors such as occurrence of economic downturns, health epidemics, social and political unrests, terrorist activities,

– 22 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

travel-related accidents and bad weather conditions. Accordingly, the Target Group’s revenue and profitability may vary from period to period due to seasonality of the air ticketing and travel industry and other factors affecting the demand of travel products as stated above. Based on the foregoing, results of operations of the Target Group may be subject to fluctuations from period to period and a comparison of different periods may not be meaningful.

Reliance on the PRC market for the business and operations of the Target Group

PRC is the major market of the Target Group, therefore, the demand for the Target Group’s products is sensitive to the changes in the general economic conditions in the PRC. The Target Group’s results of operation are expected to continue to be dependent to a significant extent on the overall growth of the domestic market in the PRC. Should there be any significant adverse changes in the market conditions of the PRC, it may adversely affect profitability and performance of the Target Group.

In addition, given that the Target Group is operating in the PRC, it will be subject to the economic, political and legal environment of the PRC. The existence of unfavourable government policy in relation to the conduct of business in general or in areas specific to the Target Group’s business in the PRC or failure by the Target Group to comply with laws and regulations governing the Target Group’s business in the PRC and to obtain the necessary licences, approvals and authorizations from relevant PRC government authorities may adversely affect the Target Group’s intended development and future operation in the PRC.

REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITION

The principal activities of the Group are the provision of systems development including maintenance and installation as well as consulting service, provision of professional services including information technology engineering and technical support services and licensing of information management systems targeted at insurance intermediaries.

The Acquisition allows the Group to further expand its business lines by diversifying into the travel services and air ticketing industry in the PRC. With the increasing demand of air tickets, online air ticketing will become a commonplace due to its convenience. In view of the steady increase in domestic civil aviation passenger traffic and tourism expenditures in the PRC, the Company is of the view that the prospects of the Target Group will be promising. The Acquisition will enable the Company to tap into this market segment with encouraging growth potential. The Target Group has a profitable track record and is expected to provide an additional income stream for the Companyand will enhance the profitability of the Group.

As disclosed under the section “RISKS FACTORS IN RELATION TO THE TARGET GROUP’S BUSINESS AND THE ACQUISITION”, there are various risks associated with the Target Group’s business and the Acquisition. To cope with such risks, the Target Group has adopted strategies to build up a solid foundation for expansion such as the franchise scheme to boost sales force and the membership program to attract customers and enhance

– 23 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

loyalty. The Target Group will continue to broaden its cooperation with airlines, hotels and other travel agencies in major cities to provide a wider range of products at competitive price to meet customers’ needs. The Target Group will also allocate sufficient resources to improve its computer system and online platform to ensure its compatibility and efficiency. In addition, the Target Group has entered into long term employment contract with the key management ranging from 2–4 years. The Target Group will also keep looking for suitable experienced staff to cope with the growing business of the Target Group. The Directors will closely monitor the management and performance of the Target Group and to take prompt and appropriate actions to cope with the new challenge. The Directors consider that the above strategies will help the Company and the Target Group to manage the afore-mentioned risks.

The Directors are of the view that the terms and conditions of the Acquisition are fair and reasonable and the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

After Completion, each member of the Target Group will become a subsidiary of the Company.

FINANCIAL IMPACT OF THE ACQUISITION

Based on the pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group set out in Appendix III to this circular and the bases and assumptions taken into account in preparing such pro forma financial information, the Group’s total assets and total liabilities would be increased by approximately HK$105.8 million and approximately HK$74.7 million respectively as a result of the Acquisition. The details of the financial effect of the Acquisition on the financial position of the Group together with the bases and assumptions taken into account in preparing the unaudited pro forma financial information are set out, for illustration purpose only, in Appendix III to this circular.

For the purpose of this report, the Financial Information has been prepared to present the combined statement of financial position, the combined statement of comprehensive income, the combined statement of cash flows and combined statement of changes in equity include the results and cash flow of each combining entities from the earliest date presented or since the date when the combining entities first came under the common control, where this is a shorter period, as if the Target Company has always had interest in Shenzhen Taoaoto.

The preparation of Financial Information in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of certain key assumptions and estimates. It also requires management to exercise their judgments in the process of applying the accounting policies. The areas involving critical judgments and areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Financial Information, are disclosed in note 3 to the Financial Information.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the Relevant Periods presented in the Financial Information.

2.2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The director of the Target Group anticipate that the application of the other new and revised standards, amendments or interpretations will have no material impact on the results and the financial position of the Target Group in the Relevant Periods of initial application.

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Target Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Target Company controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully combined from the date on which control is transferred to the Target Company.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year/ period are included in the combined statement of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

Inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses between group companies are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Target Group.

– 38 –

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP

Non-controlling interest in the net assets of combined subsidiaries is presented separately from the Target Group’s entity therein. Non-controlling interest in the net assets consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the minority’s share of changes in equity since the date of the combination. Losses applicable to the minority in excess of the minority’s interest in the subsidiary’s equity are allocated against the interests of the Target Group except to the extent that the minority has a binding obligation and is able to make an additional investment to cover the losses.

In the Target Company’s statement of financial position, the investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less provision for impairment losses. The results of subsidiaries are accounted by the Target Company on the basis of dividend received and receivable.

Business combination involving entity under common control

The Financial Information incorporates the financial statements items of the combining entities or businesses in which the common control combination occurs as if they had been combined from the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the control of the controlling party.

The net assets of the combining entities or businesses are combined using the existing book values from the controlling parties’ perspective. No amount is recognised in respect of goodwill or excess of acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of common control combination, to the extent of the continuation of the controlling party’s interest.

The combined statement of comprehensive income includes the results of each of the combining entities or businesses from the earliest date presented or since the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the common control, where this is a shorter period, regardless of the date of the common control combination.

The comparative amounts in the Financial Information are presented as if the entities or businesses had been combined at the end of the previous Relevant Periods or when they first came under common control, whichever is shorter.

Account and other receivables

Account and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of account and other receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Target Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the different between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognised in the profit or loss.

Financial instruments

i. Financial assets

The Target Group classifies its financial assets as loans and receivables which are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arisen principally through the provision of goods and services to customers (trade debtors), but also incorporate other types of contractual monetary asset. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, they are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses.

– 39 –

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP

  • ii. Impairment loss on financial assets

Objective evidence that the assets are impaired includes observable data that comes to the attention of the Target Group includes the following loss events:

  • significant financial difficulty of the debtors;

  • a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payment;

  • granting concession to a debtor because of debtors’ financial difficulty; or

  • it becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation.

An impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss when there is objective evidence that the assets is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in asset’s recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to a restriction that the carrying amount of the assets at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

iii. Financial liabilities

The Target Group classifies its financial liabilities into account payables and other short-term monetary liabilities, which are recognised at amortised cost.

  • iv. Derecognition

The Target Group derecognises financial assets where the contractual rights to the future cash flows in relation to the investment expire or where the financial asset has been transferred and the transfer meets the criteria for derecognition in accordance with HKAS 39.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

Current assets and current liabilities

Current assets are expected to be realised within twelve months of the end of the financial period or in the normal course of the Target Group’s operating cycle. Current liabilities are expected to be settled within twelve months of the balance sheet date or in the normal course of the Target Group’s operating cycle.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

Impairment of assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation, which are at least tested annually for impairment and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the

– 40 –

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP

higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment assets are grouped at the lower levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flow (cash-generating units).

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Target Group and when the revenue can be measured reliably, on the following base:

Revenue from sales of air ticket, hotel reservation and travel products is recognised when services are rendered.

Property, plant and equipment and depreciation

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.

The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditure incurred after items of property, plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, is normally charged to the profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the property, plant and equipment, the expenditure is capitalized as an additional cost of that asset.

In situations where the recognition criteria are satisfied, the expenditure for a major inspection is capitalised in the carrying amount of the asset as a replacement. Where significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Target Group recognises such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciates them accordingly.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal or retirement recognised in the combined statement of comprehensive income in the year the asset is derecognised is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset.

Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis to write off the cost of each item of property, plant and equipment to its residual value over its estimated useful life. The principle estimated useful lives are as follows:

Office equipment 3 years Computer software 3 years

The gain or loss arising from disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the profit or loss.

An asset is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if its carrying amount is higher than the asset’s estimated recoverable amount.

Operating lease

Leases where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets remain with the lessors are accounted for as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease periods.

– 41 –

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP

Employee benefits

The employees of Shenzhen Taoaoto which operates in the PRC are required to participate in a central pension scheme operated by the local municipal government. Shenzhen Taoaoto is required to contribute certain percentage of its payroll costs to the central pension scheme. The contributions are charged to the combined statement of comprehensive income as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the central pension scheme.

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit is the profit for the year, determined in accordance with the rules established by the taxation authorities, upon which income taxes are payable.

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available which deductible temporary difference can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill (or negative goodwill) or from the initial recognition (other than a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the liability is settled or the asset realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

Provision

A provision is recognised when the Target Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of a provision is the present value at the balance sheet date of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation.

Contingent liabilities and contingent assets

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Target Group. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised because it is not probable that outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably. A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that outflow is probable, they will then be recognised as a provision.

A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within control of the Target Group. A contingent asset is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. When inflow is virtually certain, an asset is recognised.

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP

Related parties

  • (a) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to the Target Group if that person: (i) is a member of the key management personnel of the Target Group or of a parent of the Company; (ii) has control over the Target Group; or (iii) has joint control or significant influence over the reporting entity or has significant voting power in it.

  • (b) An entity is related to the Target Group if any of the following conditions applies: (i) the entity and the Target Group are members of the same group (which means that each parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others); (ii) either entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member); (iii) both entities are joint ventures of a third entity; (iv) either entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity; (v) the entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the Target Group or an entity related to the Target Group. If the reporting entity is itself such a plan, the sponsoring employers are also related to the plan; (vi) the entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a); or (vii) a person identified in (a)(i) has significant voting power in the entity.

Foreign currencies

These financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars, which is functional and presentation currency of the Target Company. Each entity in the Target Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded using the functional currency rates ruling at the dates of the transactions.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency rates of exchange ruling at the reporting date. All differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are taken to combined statement of comprehensive income. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. The gain or loss arising on the retranslation of a nonmonetary item is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on item whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss is also recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss, respectively).

The functional currencies of certain overseas subsidiaries are currencies other than Hong Kong dollar. As at the end of the Relevant Periods, the assets and liabilities of these entities are translated into the presentation currency of at the exchange rates ruling at the end of the Relevant Periods and, their statements of comprehensive income are translated into Hong Kong dollars at the weighted average exchange rates for the year.

The resulting exchange differences are included in a separate component of the exchange fluctuation reserve. On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in equity relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in the combined statement of comprehensive income.

For the purpose of the combined statements of cash flows, the cash flows of overseas subsidiary is translated into Hong Kong dollars at the exchange rates ruling at the dates of the cash flows. Frequently recurring cash flows of overseas subsidiaries which arise throughout the year are translated into Hong Kong dollars at the weighted average exchange rates for the year.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

– 43 –

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP

The Target Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

In accordance with HKAS16, the Target Group estimates the useful lives of property, plant and equipment in order to determine the amount of depreciation expenses to be recorded. The useful lives are estimated at the time the asset is acquired based on historical experience, the expected usage, wear and tear of the assets, as well as technical obsolescence arising from changes in the market demands or service output of the assets. The Target Group also performs annual reviews on whether the assumptions made on useful lives continue to be valid.

Impairment

In considering the impairment losses that may be required for the Target Group’s account receivables, deposits, prepayments and other receivables, amount due from a director and amounts due from ultimate shareholder, the recoverable amounts of these assets have to be determined.

The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and the value in use. It is difficult to precisely estimate selling price because quoted market prices for these assets may not be readily available. In determining the value in use, expected cash flows generated by the assets are discounted to their present values, which requires significant judgment relating to items such as level of sales volume, selling price and amount of operating costs. The Target Group use all readily available information in determining an amount that is reasonable approximation of recoverable amount. Impairment losses for director’s and the related company’s current account are assessed based on director’s judgment on such credit worthiness.

Income taxes and deferred taxation

Shenzhen Taoaoto is subject to income taxes in the PRC. Significant judgements on the future tax treatment of certain transactions are required in determining income tax provisions. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. The Target Group carefully evaluates tax implications of transactions and tax provisions are recorded accordingly. The tax treatment of such transactions is reconsidered periodically to take into account all changes in tax legislation.

Deferred tax assets relating to certain temporary differences and tax losses are recognised when management considers to be probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences or tax losses can be utilised. The outcome of their actual utilisation may be different.

22. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES

The Target Group has no written risk management policies and guidelines. The director is responsible to analyse and formulate strategies to manage and monitor the Target Group’s exposure to variety of risks associated with financial instruments which arise from the Target Group’s operating activities. Generally, the Target Group employs conservative strategies regarding its risk management to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to these risks are mitigated are described as follow:

(a) Market risk

Interest rate risk

The Target Group has no significant interest-bearing assets and liabilities and therefore the interest rate risk is considered as minimal. No sensitivity analysis on interest rate risk has been present accordingly.

(b) Foreign currency risk

The Target Group mainly operates in PRC with most of the transactions denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”). During the Relevant Periods, the exchange rate of RMB was quite stable and the Target Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy. However, the management monitors foreign exchange exposure should the need arises.

(c) Credit risk

As at end of each Relevant Periods, the Target Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Target Group due to failure to perform an obligation by the counterparties, is the carrying amount of the respective recognised financial assets as stated in combined the statement of financial position.

Credit risk on cash and bank balances are mitigated as counterparties are banks or financial institutions with high credit rating. Credit risk on account receivables, deposits and prepayments is minimal as the Target Group performs ongoing credit evaluation on the financial condition of its debtors and tightly monitors the aging of the receivables balances, follow up action is taken in case of overdue balances. In addition, management reviews the recoverable amount of the receivables individually or collectively at each date of the reporting year to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts.

breakthrough 1 billion in 2010 with an increase of 14.6% from 2009. It shows the continue increase in demand of aviation products, it is expected that there will be a bright prospect of the aviation ticket industry.

With the success of pioneer enterprises and the continuing growth of the industry, Shenzhen Taoaoto target at civil passengers and traveler and provide surrounding products of hotel reservations. With the use of an advanced online platform and telephone hotline, the related cost to the operations of business was kept minimal.

Shenzhen Taoaoto introduces a franchising mode to expand market and increase its exposure. This made Shenzhen Taoaoto use fewer resources in engaging in the business and operation.

II. Financial Review

1. Revenue

Shenzhen Taoaoto was incorporated on 5 February 2010 and obtained the government approval to change its scope of business to act as an agent to selling air and train tickets, hotel accommodation on 12 March 2012. Before date the government approval, it did not generate any income in the period from its incorporation to March 2012.

As such the period from 5 February 2010 (date of incorporation) to 31 December 2010 (“Period 2010”) and year ended 31 December 2011 (“YE 2011”), the Target Group did not generate any revenue. The net loss for the Period 2010 and YE 2011 were approximately HK$2,275 and HK$352,460 respectively which are entirely attributable to general and administrative expenses incurred.

For the eight months ended 31 August 2012, the Target Group’s revenue of approximately HK$17,809,458 comprised of franchise fees income for registration and supply of services related to online business of ticketing, hotel reservations and selling travel products of approximately HK$17,757,500 and commission income for selling relevant product of approximately HK$51,000.

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP

During the eight months ended 31 August 2012, the administrative expenses increased from approximately HK$24,738 in YE 2011 to HK$2,561,944, such increase was mainly attributable to the increase in marketing expenses.

Staff costs had not yet been incurred during Period 2010 as the Target Group has neither incorporated nor commenced its business yet. During YE 2011 and the eight months ended 31 August 2012, staff cost of the Target Group increased to approximately HK$185,198 and HK$2,025,072 respectively. Such increment was mainly due to expansion of customer services and technical department and thus the number of sales staff increased in order to cope with business expansion. As at 31 August 2012, the number of staff employed by the Target Group was approximately 50.

In the eight months ended 31 August 2012, the franchise fee comprise one-off registration fee of approximately HK$17,906,901 and the right of use the online platform of HK$903,407.

The stage of business was in development phase. Shenzhen Taoaoto aimed at broaden its business network. Franchising was its major strategy to obtain market share and build up its brand. As Shenzhen Taoaoto started build up its network in March 2012, it only made small volume of sales and therefore not much commission income was generated in the period ended 31 August 2012. Regarding the sale of air tickets and hotel accommodations, Shenzhen Taoaoto earned commission income on the sales with an average mark up of 5%.

In regard of the unique business model, the costs of Shenzhen Taoaoto mainly comprise of wages for customer services, marketing and technical services, which respresent 44.3% of the total expenses for the eight months ended 31 August 2012. The other direct costs was limited under this business model and provide an advantage of trade surplus for future expansion.

It was expected that at the time its network became mature and have obtained market shares, Shenzhen Taoaoto will be sustainable by relying on the increased volume of market share.

The reason of a high current ratio as at 31 December 2010 was due to the fact that the Target Group was just incorporated and thus it did not have much liabilities compared to the capital injection from shareholders.

The current ratio remained at a level of 1.67 times as at 31 August 2012. The management is in the opinion to maintain the level of current assets sufficient to cover the current liabilities. It is normal due to the nature of its business.

– 61 –

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP

operation from the period ended 31 August 2012, it started record liabilities in the statement of financial position. However, the liabilities were arising from normal operation. The Target Group will monitor its capital structure and source of finance by considering the potential benefits arising from new debt and the financial risks that such debt will generate.

V. Number and remuneration of employees, remuneration policy, bonus and share option schemes and training schemes

As at 31 August 2012, the Target Group employed about 50 employees including customers services team, technical team, accounting and administrative staffs in the PRC. The total staff costs and directors’ remuneration for the eight months ended 31 August 2012 were approximately HK$2,025,072. Employees are remunerated based on market and industry practice. The remuneration policy and package of the Target Group’s employees are regularly reviewed.

During the Relevant Periods, the Target Group does not have any share option schemes or training schemes.

VI. Market Risks

1. Credit risk

The maximum exposure to credit risk in the event of the counterparties failed to perform their obligations at the end of the Relevant Periods in relation to each class of recognized financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets in the statements of financial position. The management considers the credit risks on remaining financial assets are minimal.

Credit risk on cash and bank balances are mitigated as counterparties are banks or financial institutions with high credit rating. Credit risk on account receivables, prepayments, deposits and other receivables are minimal as the Target Group performs ongoing credit evaluation on the financial condition of its debtors and tightly monitors the aging of the receivables balances, follow up action is taken in case of overdue balances. In addition, management reviews the recoverable amount of the receivables individually or collectively at each date of the reporting year to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for the irrecoverable amount.

2. Interest rate risk

As at 31 August 2012, the Target Group did not have any interest-bearing debt or liabilities. Apart from major debt and liabilities as disclosed in the accountant’s report of the Target Group as set out in this appendix, the management considers the interest rate risk is minimal.

– 62 –

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP

3. Foreign currency risk

Shenzhen Taoaoto which operates in the PRC, is the major subsidiary of the Target Group. Almost all of the transactions of Shenzhen Taoaoto are denominated and settled in its own functional currency, i.e. RMB. As it has both functional and presentational currency denominated in RMB, therefore the Target Group has no significant foreign exchange risk from the operation in PRC that might impact its consolidated result of operations.

While the combined financial statements of the Target Group were presented in HKD, it appears that any monetary financial assets or liabilities of the Target Group denominated in RMB were considered to cause no currency risks to the Target Group if such assets and liabilities denominated RMB were held by Shenzhen Taoaoto.

As a result, the Target Group has not used any financial instruments for hedging against neither fluctuation in interest rate nor foreign currencies as at 31 August 2012.

4. Liquidity risk

The Target Group manages its fund conservatively by maintaining a comfortable level of cash and cash equivalents in order to meet continuous operational need. Liquidity risk is minimal as the Target Group has maintained a sufficient level of cash and bank balances and current assets to meet its financial obligations.

Note:

  1. On 21 November 2012, the Company (“Purchaser”), entered into an acquisition agreement with Questex Development Inc. (“Vendor”) for the acquisition of 100% of equity interest in the Target Company.

Total consideration for the acquisition of the Target Company amounted to HK$110,000,000, which shall be satisfied by the followings:

  • As to HK$15,000,000 for deposits paid to the Vendor prior to signing the acquisition agreement;

  • As to HK$5,000,000 for deposits paid to the Vendor upon signing the acquisition agreement;

  • As to HK$5,000,000 by way of cash; and

  • As to HK$85,000,000 by way of issuance of convertible bonds to the Vendor.

For the purpose of preparing the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group, the consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Vendor and the Company with reference to a professional valuation as advised by B.I. Appraisals Limited, an independent valuation firm. The valuation method used for the preliminary indicative value was market approach by applying the median price-to-earnings multiple of comparable companies to the adjusted net profit which involved a projection of net profit up to February 2013.

  • 2(a) The goodwill arising on the acquisition of 100% equity interest in the Target Company is calculated as follow,

Notes:

  • (i) The net assets value of Target Group, based on the carrying amounts of its assets and liabilities as at 31 August 2012 as if the Acquisition had been completed on 30 September 2012 and assumed the fair value of the assets and liabilities approximate to the carrying amounts, will be adjusted upon completion of the Acquisition with reference to the fair value of its assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the that date.

Since the fair value of assets and liabilities of Target Group at the completion date of the Acquisition substantially different from the fair values used in the preparation of this Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group, the final amounts of the identified net assets (including other intangible assets) and goodwill to be recognised in connection with the Acquisition could be different from the amounts stated herein.

  • (ii) Non-controlling interests is calculated based on the proportionate share of fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities of the Target Group attributable to non-controlling shareholders.

The directors have not taken the transaction cost of the Acquisition into account as they consider those amount is insignificant.

  • (iii) An analysis of the total cost of the Acquisition of 100% equity interest of Target Group is set out as follows:
Fair value of the consideration for the Acquisition:

Issuance of convertible bonds (note 2(c))
Total cost of acquisition
HK$’000

110,684

This adjustment will have a continuing effect on the Enlarged Group.

The Directors have assessed whether there is any impairment on the goodwill as at 31 August 2012 in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard (“HKAS”) 36 “Impairment of Assets” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. An impairment test involves the determination of the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the goodwill has been allocated, being the higher of the cash generating unit’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the goodwill has been allocated is determined based on value in use calculation.

In order to determine the value in use of the Target Group’s cash generating unit, the Directors have used the basis of Discount Cash Flow method (the “DCF”). The sources and inputs of such DCF mainly consist of i) Franchise fee income; ii) Commission income; and iii) related operating expenditures. The assumptions used in forecasting the i) franchise fee income are the newly approved pricing table supported by the corresponding business plan while that of ii)

commission income are using historical track record on the average number of products sold per shop and average selling price of each product of the Target Group in conjunction with the newly signed agreement for the revised commission rate that is going to be charged on each product sold.

The reporting accountants assessed the discount rate used for the above DCF projections by assessing the key assumptions of (a) market risk premium; (b) beta coefficient; and (c) after-tax cost of debt: a) The market risk premium used for determining the discount rate was examined and re-calculated. In addition, independent search on market expected return and risk free rate, being the main component of market risk premium were also performed. b) The adopted beta coefficient used was examined and recalculated. The adopted beta was derived from the average of deleveraged beta coefficients of other proxy companies of which their operations are similar to that of the Target Company. c) The Target Company has no interest bearing debt or borrowings as at the Latest Practicable Date. The after-tax cost of debt assumption is being understood and concurred by the reporting accountants.

The value in use as derived and proposed by the Directors was amounted to approximately HK$104,782,000 which is greater than the goodwill which is calculated at approximately HK$104,746,000. As a result, the Directors concluded that no impairment on such goodwill is provided as at 31 August 2012.

It is the sole responsibility of the directors of the Company to ensure that the Company is adopting and will continue to adopt consistent accounting policies and ensure that the principal assumptions of the valuation for assessment of the impairment of the Enlarged Group’s goodwill are consistent for the annual audit of the Enlarged Group in the future.

The reporting accountants of the Acquisition concurred with the assessment of impairment in goodwill by the directors of the Company, in accordance with HKAS 36, in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information and adoption of consistent accounting policies and principal assumptions in the preparation of consolidated financial statements of the Enlarged Group after the completion of the Acquisition.

  • 2(b) This represents cash payment for deposits amounted to HK$25,000,000 paid to Vendor for the acquisition of 100% equity interest in Target Group. Such payment has been satisfied from internal resources of the Group.

This adjustment will not have a continuing effect on the Enlarged Group.

  • 2(c) This amount represented the liability and equity components of the Convertible Bonds with principal amount of approximately HK$85,684,000 issued for the Acquisition. It will mature in 3 years from the date of issue.

The fair value assessment of the liability component and the equity component of the Convertible Bonds was performed by B.I. Appraisals Limited, an independent professional valuer, using discounted cash flow method. As at 30 September 2012, the estimated fair values of the liability component and equity component of the Convertible Bonds are approximately HK$59,424,000 and HK$26,260,000 respectively. Fair values of the liability component and the equity component shall be assessed on the date of completion and are therefore subject to change upon completion of the Acquisition.

This adjustment will have a continuing effect on the Enlarged Group.

  • 2(d) Elimination of the share capital, reserves of the Target Group.

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

Overview of the Economy in China

According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the nominal Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) in 2011 was RMB 47,156 billion, an increase of 17.4% over the previous year. In the first quarter of 2012, China’s GDP was RMB 10,800 billion, which was 8.1% higher than that of the same period last year. China replaced the European Union and became the second largest economy in the world as in 2011, ranked only after the United States, in terms of nominal GDP measured by the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”). Amidst the global financial crisis in late 2008 and the Eurozone debt crisis triggered in 2011, the Chinese economy continued to be supported by the Chinese government through spending in infrastructure and real estates.

Throughout 2009, the global economic downturn reduced foreign demand for Chinese exports for the first time in many years. The government vowed to continue reforming the economy and emphasized the need to increase domestic consumption in order to make China less dependent on foreign exports. China economy rebounded quickly in 2010, outperforming all other major economies with robust GDP growth and the economy remained in strong growth in 2011.

Over the past decade from 2002 to 2011, compound annual growth rate of China’s nominal GDP was 15.7% and in the government’s latest plan, it is targeted to grow at 7% for the period from 2011 to 2015. Figure 1 further illustrates the nominal GDP of China from 2007 to 2011.

Inflation in China

Tackling inflation problem has long been the top priority of the Chinese government as high prices are considered as one of the causes of social unrest. For such a fast-growing economy, the middle-class’ demand for food and commodities has been rising continuously. Inflation in China has been driven mainly by food prices, which have been stayed high in 2011. The consumer price index demonstrated an uptrend in the first half of 2011. Thanks to the government’s policies in suppressing commodity prices, the inflation slowed in the second half of 2011. Figure 2 shows the year-over-year change in consumer price index of China from January 2011 to June 2012.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Worldwide Airline Industry

The airline industry can be separated into four categories by the U.S. Department of Transportation. They are international, national, regional and cargo planes. International planes contain more than 130 seats that have the ability to take passengers just about anywhere in the world. Companies in this category typically have annual revenue of US$ 1 billion or more. National planes comprise 100 to 150 seats and have annual revenues between US$ 100 million and US$ 1 billion. Companies with annual revenues less than US$ 100 million that focus on short haul flights belong to regional airline and cargo airline generally transport goods.

The global airline industry will likely post a second consecutive year of net profit declines, as the impact of a deepening European debt crisis offsets the boost from lower oil prices, stronger-than-expected growth in passenger traffic and an improved freight market. The International Air Transport Association forecasted a US$ 3 billion net profit for the global airline industry in 2012, which is less than half of the US$ 7.9 billion made in 2011, and an even sharper fall from the record US$ 15.8 billion profit for the industry in 2010.

China Airline Industry

Despite the downturn of the global airline industry, air travel is booming in China. In 2012, China’s domestic aviation passenger market becomes the second largest in the world, while its international passenger market and international cargo market rank seventh and fourth respectively in the world. China’s airlines accounted for half of all global profits in 2011.

Over the five years through 2012, the revenue of the airline industry in China has been growing at an annual rate of 15% to a total of RMB 90.4 billion. After rapid development in the four years to 2007, growth slowed greatly in 2008 and 2009 due to a series of natural disasters, the global economic crisis, and stricter security checks due to the Beijing Olympic Games. However, as the economy recovered and demand for air travel rose, airlines rebounded strongly. In 2012, China had around 500 airports of all types and sizes in operation, about 400 of which had paved runways and about 178 of which had scheduled passenger flights.

In 2011, total volume travelled by China’s civil aviation reached 57.7 billion metric ton-kilometers, about of which 19.7 billion metric ton-kilometers were travelled by international airlines. The total volume travelled by China’s civil aviation in 2011 was 7.2% more than that of 39 billion metric ton-kilometers in 2010 while passengers’ volume reached 40.4 billion metric ton-kilometers in 2011, which was 12.2% more than that in 2010. Figure 4 shows the total volume travelled by China civil aviation and its growth rate from 2006 to 2011.

China Air Ticketing Industry

The burgeoning number of passengers transported by China’s civil aviation and the surging total volume travelled by China’s civil aviation since 2006 has pointed to the increasing demand of air tickets. According to National Bureau of Statistics of China, foreign exchange earnings from civil aviation increased by 16.9% year-over-year from US$ 9,808 million in 2010 to US$ 11,470 million in 2011. With the increasing demand of air tickets, online air ticketing will become a commonplace due to its convenience.

According to iResearch statistics, China’s online travel booking agencies’ revenue reached RMB 44 billion in the first quarter of 2012, which was 16.9% higher than that of 2011. The rapid growth of the online travel booking agencies industry could be attributed to the increase in internet usage, rising middle class and increasing income, surging number of credit card holders and growth in tourism.

China Travel Agency Industry

Firms in the travel agency industry in China mainly provide travel services for businesses, groups and individuals. These services include consultation, travel planning and proposals, scheduling, accommodation and transportation. These services are primarily provided by domestic travel agencies and international travel agencies based in China. This industry does not include tour guide services provided by local operators, nor agencies selling only air or rail tickets.

VALUATION REPORT ON SHENZHEN TAOAOTO

APPENDIX IV

During the past five years, capital from the government, public organizations and private sector have invested heavily in tourism project infrastructure in which China has become the world’s fourth most popular destination for international tourists and the most popular within Asia. In recent years, the rapidly growing tourism sector has provided a good market environment for tourism enterprises, including travel agencies. Therefore, the travel agency industry in China is in the growth stage of its life cycle.

According to IBISWorld, a large America publisher of industry research, the five years from 2007 to 2011 saw revenue of China’s travel agency industry increase at an estimated annualized growth rate of 11.2%. It was expected that the growth would be faster in the next few years as the government has positioned the tourism industry as one of the most important strategic industries. According to National Bureau of Statistics of China, the compound annual growth rates of the number of overseas visitor arrivals in China, Chinese outbound visitors and domestic visitors from 2007 to 2011 were 0.7%, 14.4% and 13.2% respectively, which contributed to the increase in number of travel agencies from 18,943 in 2007 to 22,784 in 2010.

Figure 6, figure 7 and figure 8 show the number of overseas visitor arrivals in China, Chinese outbound visitors and domestic visitors from 2007 to 2011 respectively.

THE BUSINESS ENTERPRISE

The Business Enterprise is principally engaged in selling air tickets, hotel reservation and travel products online in China. The Business Enterprise makes use of an advanced online platform and a telephone hotline system to create an efficient and comprehensive e-commerce network for suppliers, agents and customers for travel services. In view of the

– 79 –

VALUATION REPORT ON SHENZHEN TAOAOTO

APPENDIX IV

steady increase in domestic civil aviation passenger traffic and tourism expenditures in China in recent years, the Company is of the view that the prospects of the Business Enterprise will be promising.

DEFINITION AND BASIS OF VALUATION

The term “Market value”, as used herein, is defined as intended to mean the estimated amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between willing parties in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.

INVESTIGATION AND ANALYSIS

Our investigation included discussions with members of the Management in relation to the development, operations and other relevant information of the Business Enterprise. In addition, we have made relevant inquiries and obtained such further information and statistical figures regarding the economy of China as we considered necessary for the purpose of this valuation.

As part of our analysis, we have reviewed such financial information and other pertinent data concerning the Business Enterprise provided to us by the Management and have considered such information and data as attainable and reasonable.

The valuation of the Business Enterprise requires consideration of all pertinent factors, which may or may not affect the operation of the business and its ability to generate future investment returns. The factors considered in our valuation include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following:

  • The nature and prospect of the Business Enterprise;

  • The financial condition of the Business Enterprise;

  • The economic outlook in general and the specific economic environment and market elements affecting the business, the industry and the market;

  • Relevant licences and agreements;

  • The financial and business risk of the Business Enterprise such as the ability in maintaining competent technical and professional personnel; and

  • Investment returns and market transactions of entities engaged in similar lines of business.

APPROACHES TO VALUE

There are generally three accepted approaches to obtain the market value of the Business Enterprise, namely the Market-Based Approach, Income-Based Approach and Asset-Based Approach. Each of these approaches is appropriate in one or more

– 80 –

VALUATION REPORT ON SHENZHEN TAOAOTO

APPENDIX IV

circumstances, and sometimes, two or more approaches may be used together. Whether to adopt a particular approach will be determined by the most commonly adopted practice in valuing business entities that are similar in nature.

Market-Based Approach

The Market-Based Approach values a business entity by comparing prices at which other business entities in a similar nature changed hands in arm’s length transactions. The underlying theory of this approach is that one would not pay more than one would have to pay for an equally desirable alternative. By adopting this approach, the valuer will first look for valuation indication of prices of other similar business entities that have been sold recently.

The right transactions employed in analyzing for indications of value need to be sold at an arm’s length basis, assuming that the buyers and sellers are well informed and have no special motivations or compulsions to buy or to sell.

Income-Based Approach

The Income-Based Approach focuses on the economic benefits due to the income producing capability of the business entity. The underlying theory of this approach is that the value of a business entity can be measured by the present worth of the economic benefits to be received over the useful life of the business entity. Based on this valuation principle, the Income-Based Approach estimates the future economic benefits and discounts them to its present value using a discount rate appropriate for the risks associated with realizing those benefits.

Alternatively, this can be calculated by capitalizing the economic benefits to be received in the next period at an appropriate capitalization rate. This is subject to the assumption that the business entity will continue to maintain stable economic benefits and growth rate.

Asset-Based Approach

The Asset-Based Approach is based on the general concept that the earning power of a business entity is derived primarily from its existing assets. The assumption of this approach is that when each of the elements of working capital, tangible and intangible assets is individually valued, their sum represents the value of a business entity and equals to the value of its invested capital (“equity and long term debt”). In other words, the value of the business entity is represented by the money that has been made available to purchase the business assets needed.

This money comes from investors who buy stocks of the business entity (“equity”) and investors who lend money to the business entity (“debt”). After collecting the total amounts of money from equity and debt, and converted into various types of assets of the business entity for its operation, their sum equals the value of the business entity.

APPENDIX IV

BUSINESS VALUATION

Method Adopted

In valuing the Business Enterprise, we have taken into account of the uniqueness of its operation and the nature of the air ticketing industry it is participating. Also, we have considered the accessibility to available data and relevant market transactions in choosing among the valuation approaches.

The Income-Based Approach was not adopted because a lot of assumptions would have to be made and the valuation could be largely influenced by any inappropriate assumptions made. The Asset-Based Approach was not adopted because it could not reflect the market value of the Business Enterprise. We have therefore considered the adoption of the Market-Based Approach in arriving at the market value of the Business Enterprise.

By adopting the Market-Based Approach, we have to determine the appropriate valuation multiples of comparable companies, in which we have considered price-to-sales, price-to-earnings and price-to-book multiples. In this valuation, we have adopted price-to-earnings as we considered it as the most appropriate multiple in calculating the market value of the Business Enterprise. We have carried out searches for listed companies with similar business nature and operations as the Business Enterprise with reference to the following selection criteria:

  • The companies are principally engaged in the air ticketing and hotel reservation businesses;

  • The trading history of the companies is sufficiently long; and

  • The financial information of the companies is available to the public.

The range of the price-to-earnings multiples of the above listed companies was diverse and the median price-to-earnings multiple was 21.02. For those listed companies with principal businesses in the regions of Asia, the median price-to-earnings multiple was 21.53. Given the relative shorter operating history and smaller business scale of the Business Enterprise, we have adopted those listed companies from different regions with the lowest price-to-earnings ratios within the same region as the comparable companies. In addition, we also select listed companies with business scope and background similar to the Business Enterprise. We could only locate two listed companies engaged in air ticketing and hotel reservation businesses in the PRC, namely eLong Inc. and Ctrip.com. Among the listed companies with principal places of businesses within Europe and America, Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. (Stock Code: OWW.US) was considered as more comparable to the Business Enterprise, since it was principally engaged in online travel services, while other listed companies had diversified business activities including marketing, leisure, merchant sales and logistics services. Therefore, Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. (Stock Code: OWW.US) was adopted as the comparable company from the Europe and America category instead of Expedia, Inc. despite it provides no price-to-earnings multiple for reference.

Based on the above and the fact that the principal place of business of the Business Enterprise is in China, four of the above sixteen listed companies, namely H.I.S. Co., Ltd. (Stock Code: 9603.JP), Ctrip.com International, Ltd. (Stock Code: CTRP.US), International Travel House Limited (Stock Code: ITR.IN), and Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. (Stock Code: OWW.US) were adopted as comparable companies and their median price-to-earning multiple was 9.30. Given the median price-to-earnings multiple of the comparable companies of 9.30 was significantly lower and was at the lower end of the range of the price-to-earnings multiples of the listed companies, we considered that the median price-to-earnings multiple of the comparable companies of 9.30 was reasonable and therefore we have adopted the median price-to-earnings multiple of the comparable companies of 9.30 in this valuation.

We have adopted the adjusted net profit of the Business Enterprise based on the financial information of the Business Enterprise as at 31 August 2012. Based on the management accounts of the Business Enterprise as provided by the Management, the actual revenue from 1 March 2012 to 31 August 2012 was RMB 17,653,016. The projected revenue

– 86 –

VALUATION REPORT ON SHENZHEN TAOAOTO

APPENDIX IV

from 1 September 2012 to 28 February 2013 would be RMB 18,912,951, based on information of negotiating and projected sales contracts as provided by the Management. Therefore, the adjusted annual revenue was RMB 36,565,967.

By applying the actual gross margin of 99.7%, the adjusted annual gross profit was RMB 36,454,470. The operating profit was obtained with reference to the actual and projected selling expense, management expense and finance expense, arriving at RMB 25,152,298.

Accounting for the actual non-operating incomes and expenses, and the income tax expense estimated by adopting the China corporate tax rate of 25.00%, the adjusted annual net profit was RMB 18,852,988. Since the adjusted annual net profit covered the period between 1 March 2012 and 28 February 2013, the adjusted net profit was discounted at the weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) of the Business Enterprise of 16.23%, the adjusted net profit adopted was RMB 17,497,740 as at the Date of Valuation.

To arrive at the WACC of the Business Enterprise, the risk-free rate adopted was China 10-year government bond yield of 3.39% as at the Date of Valuation as extracted from Bloomberg. The market expected return of China of 14.29% as at the Date of Valuation as extracted from Bloomberg was adopted to arrive at the market risk premium of 10.90%. The beta coefficient of 0.48 adopted was the average of the beta coefficients of the aforementioned comparable companies. By adding a size premium of 3.89% and other risk premium of 4.00%, the cost of equity adopted was 16.55%. The cost of debt of 6.55% adopted was China above 5-year best lending rate as at the Date of Valuation as extracted from Bloomberg. The debt-to-equity ratio of 2.80% adopted was the average ratios of the aforementioned comparable companies. With China corporate tax rate of 25.00%, we arrived at the WACC of 16.23% as at the Date of Valuation.

Then we applied the median price-to-earnings multiple of 9.30 to the adjusted net profit of the Business Enterprise.

Marketability Discount

Compared to similar interest in public companies, ownership interest is not readily marketable for closely held companies. Therefore, the value of a share of stock in a privately held company is usually less than an otherwise comparable share in a publicly held company. A discount for lack of marketability (“DLOM”) is an amount or percentage deducted from the value of an ownership interest to reflect the situation of no ready market for the ownership interest in a privately held company.

To estimate the DLOM, a put option pricing model was adopted, which is based on the theory that an investor would need to hedge his position in the underlying stock at a future price to protect his or her investment. This method is based on the idea that if one holds restricted or non-marketable stock and purchases an option to sell those shares at the market price, one has, in effect, purchased marketability for the shares. Thus, the price of the put option divided by the pre-adjusted fair value of the Business Enterprise is the DLOM of the Business Enterprise. The price of the put option was obtained from the dividend-adjusted

– 87 –

VALUATION REPORT ON SHENZHEN TAOAOTO

APPENDIX IV

Black Scholes option pricing model, by adopting the average annualized volatility of the comparable companies and assuming a marketing period of approximately 0.5 year. As such, the DLOM adopted in the valuation was 12.25%.

Control Premium

In addition, as we are considering the market value of the Business Enterprise from the perspective of controlling interest, a control premium of 30% has been adopted to reflect the higher marketability of a controlling interest compared to a minority interest, with reference to an internationally recognized research article “Why Is the Value of Minority Stock Discounted So Heavily” by Larson Allen, in arriving at the market value of the Business Enterprise as at the Date of Valuation.

MAJOR ASSUMPTIONS

We have adopted certain specific assumptions in our valuation and the major ones are as follows:

  • All relevant legal approvals and business certificates or licences to operate the business in the localities in which the Business Enterprise operates or intends to operate would be officially obtained and renewable upon expiry.

  • The Business Enterprise will be operating as planned.

  • The projected revenue, which is determined based on the number and amounts of negotiating and estimated new contracts, and which is considered to be fair and reasonable, will be materialized.

  • There will be a sufficient supply of technical staff in the industry in which the Business Enterprise operates.

  • The Business Enterprise will retain competent management, key personnel and technical staff to support its ongoing operations and developments.

  • There will be no major changes in the current taxation laws in the localities in which the Business Enterprise operates or intends to operate and that the rates of tax payable shall remain unchanged and that all applicable laws and regulations will be complied with.

  • There will be no major changes in the political, legal, economic or financial conditions in the localities in which the Business Enterprise operates or intends to operate, which would adversely affect the revenues attributable to and profitability of the Business Enterprise.

  • Interest rates and exchange rates in the localities for the operation of the Business Enterprise will not differ materially from those presently prevailing.

We have not independently verified the computations leading to the Independent Valuer’s determination of the fair value and market value of Shenzhen Taoaoto. We have had no role or involvement and have not provided and will not provide any assessment of the fair value and market value of Shenzhen Taoaoto. Accordingly, save as expressly stated in this letter, we take no responsibility for and express no views, whether expressly or implicitly, on the fair value and market value of Shenzhen Taoaoto as determined by the Independent Valuer and set out in the valuation report issued by the Independent Valuer or otherwise.
