LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Shareholders Loans owed by Property Sky to the Sellers to be assigned to the Purchaser
The aggregate amount of HK$756,600,000 for the Shareholders Loans was the principal amount of the Shareholders Loans as shown on the Preliminary Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Other loans owed by Property Sky to certain other parties to be paid off by the Purchaser
Other loans owed by Property Sky to certain other parties to be paid off by the Purchaser comprise of:
-
(i) the Entrustment Loan with a principal amount of RMB25,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$29,557,710), with interest rate of 4.60% per annum accrued on a daily basis; and
-
(ii) the Yingxu Loan with aggregate principal amount of RMB65,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$76,850,047), with interest rate of 4.35% per annum accrued on a daily basis.
The Entrustment Loan and the Yingxu Loan provided the Target Group funds for its general working capital purpose.
As of the date of repayment of such loans on the third (3rd) Business Day before Closing (i.e. 10 August 2016), the interest accrued with respect to the Entrustment Loan amounted to RMB159,722.22 (equivalent to approximately HK$188,841) and the interest accrued with respect to the Yingxu Loan amounted to RMB1,054,726.03 (equivalent to approximately HK$1,247,011).
Basis of the Initial Consideration
The Initial Consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiations among the Parties, which essentially reflects the agreed asset value of the Property of HK$1,595,064,099 and having taken into account the balance sheet position of Property Sky as at 31 May 2016. The agreed value of the Property was determined with reference to the value of RMB1,081,554,439 (equivalent to approximately HK$1,278,730,909) of the Property as shown on the books of the Project Company as of 31 May 2016. As the book value of the Property was prepared at cost, the parties also took into account other market factors such as (a) the historical rental revenue generated by the Property; (b) the upward market trend from 2013 to 2016 of the real estate prices in Shanghai, the PRC; and (c) the expectations of the Purchaser and the Guarantor that the future property market conditions in Shanghai will continue to be favourable. As such, the Purchaser and the Guarantor are of the view that the agreed value of the Property is fair and reasonable. This is further supported by the valuation of the Property by Knight Frank Petty Limited, an independent property valuer, which determined the market value of the Property as of 30 June 2016 at a higher amount of RMB1,500,000,000. Please refer to the property valuation report in Appendix IV to this circular for further details.

The Property is a serviced-apartment project in Shanghai. The Board believes that the Acquisition is in line with the principal business of the Group and provides an excellent investment opportunity for the Group to further establish its position in the property market in the region. The Directors consider that the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and the terms thereof are on normal commercial terms, which are fair and reasonable.
FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITION
Immediately upon Closing, each of Property Sky, HK HoldCo and Project Company has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and their assets, liabilities and financial results will be consolidated into the financial statements of the Group. For details of the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group, please refer to Appendix V to this circular.
Assets and liabilities
Based on the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix V to this circular (assuming the Acquisition had been completed on 30 June 2016), the total assets of the Group would have increased from approximately RMB35,473,049,000 to approximately RMB36,183,389,000 on a pro forma basis, the total liabilities of the Group would have increased from approximately RMB30,809,599,000 to approximately RMB31,530,857,000 on a pro forma basis, and the net assets of the Group would have decreased from RMB4,663,450,000 to RMB4,652,532,000 on a pro forma basis.
Earnings
As set out in the accountants’ report of the Target Group in Appendix II to this circular, the revenue of the Target Group for the year ended 31 December 2015 was approximately HK$1,486,408 and the Target Group recorded a net loss of approximately HK$23,618,260 for the year ended 31 December 2015. While there will not be any immediate material impact on earnings of the Group, the Directors believe that the Acquisition would enhance the Group’s business development.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As one of applicable percentage ratios (as defined in the Listing Rules) in respect of the Acquisition is more than 25% but less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules subject to the notification, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules. The Company does not envisage the adjustments to the Initial Consideration and the resulting Final Consideration to increase any of the applicable percentage ratios to 100% or above.

The Directors
Jingrui Holdings Limited
Dear Sirs,
We report on the financial information of Property Sky Limited (“Property Sky”) and its subsidiaries (together, the “Property Sky Group”), which comprises the consolidated and company statements of financial position of Property Sky as at 31 December 2013, 2014 and 2015 and 30 June 2016 and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and the consolidated statements of cash flows of Property Sky for each of the years ended 31 December 2013, 2014 and 2015 and the six months ended 30 June 2016 (the “Relevant Periods”) and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

The consolidated financial statements of Property Sky for the year ended 31 December 2013 were audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers Hong Kong pursuant to separate terms of engagement with Property Sky. The directors of Property Sky are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of Property Sky for the year ended 31 December 2013 that give a true and fair view in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”), and for such internal control as the directors of Property Sky determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
– II-1 –
APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
No statutory audited financial statements have been prepared by Property Sky for the years ended 31 December 2013, 2014 and 2015, as it is not required to issue audited financial statements under the statutory requirements of its place of incorporation. The statutory audited financial statements of the other companies now comprising the Property Sky Group as at the date of this report for which there are statutory audit requirements have been prepared in accordance with the relevant accounting principles generally accepted in their places of incorporation. The details of the statutory auditors of these companies are set out in Note 13 of Section II.
For the purpose of this report, the directors of the Company have prepared the consolidated financial statements of Property Sky for the Relevant Periods (the “Underlying Financial Statements”) that give a true and fair view in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA and the accounting policies adopted by the Company and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”), as set out in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2015, with reference to the consolidated financial information of Property Sky (the “Property Sky Management Account”) prepared by the directors of Property Sky. The directors of Property Sky are responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the Property Sky Management Account that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. We have audited the Underlying Financial Statements in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing (the “HKSAs”) issued by the HKICPA pursuant to separate terms of engagement.
The financial information has been prepared based on the Underlying Financial Statements with no adjustment made thereon.
DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with HKFRSs and accounting policies adopted by the Company and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) as set out in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2015.
REPORTING ACCOUNTANT’S RESPONSIBILITY
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial information and to report our opinion to you. We carried out our procedures in accordance with the Auditing Guideline 3.340 “Prospectuses and the Reporting Accountant” issued by the HKICPA.

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
REVIEW OF STUB PERIOD COMPARATIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
We have reviewed the stub period comparative financial information set out in Sections I to II below included in Appendix II to the Circular which comprises the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows of Property Sky Group for the six months ended 30 June 2015 and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (the “Stub Period Comparative Financial Information”).
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 2 of Section II below and the accounting policies adopted by the Company and its subsidiaries as set out in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2015.
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the HKICPA. A review of Stub Period Comparative Financial Information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information, for the purpose of this report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 2 of Section II below.

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
II NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF PROPERTY SKY
1 GENERAL INFORMATION
Property Sky is a limited liability company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. The address of its registered office is P.O. Box 957, Offshore Incorporations Centre, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands.
Property Sky is principally engaged in investment holding. Its principal subsidiaries are engaged in investment holding and property investment.
For the years ended 31 December 2013, 2014 and 2015, and the six months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016, Property Sky was owned as to 50% by each of Wing Tai Properties (China) (No.2) Limited (“WTPC No.2”), a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Wing Tai Properties Limited, incorporated in Bermuda with limited liability, and Keen Achieve Limited (“Keen Achieve”), a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability and a subsidiary of Nan Fung International Holdings Limited, incorporated in British Virgin Islands with limited liability. On 18 July 2016, WTPC No.2 and Keen Achieve entered into an agreement to dispose their entire interest in Property Sky to Natural Apex Limited (“Natural Apex”), incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jingrui Holdings Limited (the “Company”), incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability. The Transaction was completed on 15 August 2016. After the transaction, Natural Apex became the immediate holding company of Property Sky and the current directors of Property Sky consider that the Company is the ultimate holding company of Property Sky.
The Financial Information is presented in Hong Kong dollars, which is also the functional currency of Property
Sky.
2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of preparation
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Financial Information are set out below. These policies have been consistently to all the periods presented. The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of investment properties, which are carried at fair value.
The preparation of Financial Information in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the accounting policies of Property Sky Group. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Financial Information are disclosed in Note 4 to the Financial Information.
As at 30 June 2016, Property Sky Group had a net current liability of HK$906,982,071. As at 30 June 2016, Property Sky had a net current liability and shareholder’s deficit of HK$756,747,048 and HK$197,047 respectively. The Company has confirmed its intention to provide continuing financial support to Property Sky Group and Property Sky so as to enable them to meet their liabilities as and when they fall due and to carry on their businesses without a significant curtailment of operations for the foreseeable future. The directors of the Company believe that Property Sky Group and Property Sky will continue as a going concern and consequently have prepared the Financial Information on the going concern basis.

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
New/revised standards, amendments and improvements
The following new standards, amendments and improvements relevant to the operations of Property Sky Group have been issued but are not yet effective for the financial year beginning 1 January 2016 or after and have not been early adopted:
| Effective for accounting | ||
|---|---|---|
| periods beginning on or after | ||
| Amendments to HKAS 12 | Income Taxes | 1 January 2017 |
| Amendments to HKAS 7 | Statement of Cash Flows | 1 January 2017 |
| HKFRS 9 | Financial Instruments | 1 January 2018 |
| HKFRS 15 | Revenue from Contracts with | 1 January 2018 |
| Customers | ||
| HKFRS 16 | Leases | 1 January 2019 |
Management of Property Sky has already commenced an assessment of the likely impact of adopting the above new standards but it is not yet in a position to state whether they will have a significant impact on the reporting results of operations and financial position.
(b) Consolidation
Subsidiaries are entities (including a structured entity) over which Property Sky Group has control. Property Sky Group controls an entity when Property Sky Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to Property Sky Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated. When necessary, amounts reported by subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform with the Company’s accounting policies.
(c) Separate financial statements
In Property Sky’s balance sheet, the investment in a subsidiary is stated at cost less impairment. Cost also includes direct attributable costs of investment. The results of the subsidiary are accounted for by Property Sky on the basis of dividend received and receivable.
Impairment testing of the investment in a subsidiary is required upon receiving a dividend from this investment if the dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of the subsidiary in the period the dividend is declared or if the carrying amount of the investment in the separate financial statements exceeds the carrying amount in the consolidated financial statements of the investee’s net assets.
Impairment testing of the investment in a subsidiary is also required according to Note 2(h).
(d) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”). The CODM, being the directors of Property Sky, review the performance of Property Sky and allocate resources accordingly. No segmental analysis is prepared since Property Sky Group is mainly engaged in property investment business and operated mainly in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). In addition, most of the assets and liabilities of Property Sky Group are located in PRC.
(e) Foreign currency translation
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the Financial Information are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The Financial Information is presented in Hong Kong dollar (HK$), which is Property Sky’s functional and presentation currency.
– II-12 –
APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year/period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income within “Finance income/(expense), net”. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the consolidated income statement with “Other income/(losses), net”.
(iii) Group entities
The results and financial position of all the group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyper-inflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
-
assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position are translated at the date of that statement of financial position;
-
income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rate; and
-
all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated as a separate component of equity.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate. Exchange differences arising are recognised in other comprehensive income.
(f) Furniture, fixtures and equipment
Furniture, fixtures and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to Property Sky Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the profit or loss during the year or period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation of furniture, fixtures and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their costs less their residual values over their estimated useful lives of 5 years.
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted, if appropriate, at each reporting date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains or losses arising on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised as “Other income/(losses), net” in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
(g) Investment property
Investment property, principally comprising leasehold land and buildings, is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the Group. It also includes properties that are being constructed or developed for future use as investment properties.
Land held under operating leases are accounted for as investment properties when the rest of the definition of an investment property is met. In such cases, the operating leases concerned are accounted for as if they were finance leases.
– II-13 –
APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
Investment property is initially measured at cost, including related transaction costs and where applicable borrowing costs. After initial recognition, investment properties are carried at fair value, representing open market value determined at each reporting date by external valuers. Fair value is based on active market prices, adjusted, if necessary, for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. If the information is not available, Property Sky Group uses alternative valuation methods such as recent prices on less active markets, income capitalisation valuation techniques or discounted cash flow projections. Changes in fair values are recorded in the consolidated income statement in fair value gains or losses on investment properties.
Property that is currently being constructed or developed for future use as an investment property is classified as investment property and stated at fair value. If the fair value cannot be reliably determined, the investment property under construction will be measured at cost until such time as fair value can be determined or construction is completed, whichever is earlier. Any difference between the fair value of the property at that date and its then carrying amount shall be recognised in the consolidated income statement.
(h) Impairment of investment in a subsidiary and non-financial assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life – for example, goodwill or intangible assets not ready to use – are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. 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 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 lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).
Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
(i) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection of trade and other receivables is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are presented as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.
(j) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.
(k) Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(l) Other payables and accrued charges
Other payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within twelve months after the reporting period (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using effective interest method.
(m) Borrowings and borrowing costs
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fees are deferred until the

draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fees are capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless Property Sky Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.
General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Borrowing costs include interest expense, finance charges in respect of finance lease and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs. The exchange gains and losses that are an adjustment to interest costs include the interest rate differential between borrowing costs that would be incurred if the entity had borrowed funds in its functional currency, and the borrowing costs actually incurred on foreign currency borrowings. Such amounts are estimated based on forward currency rates at the inception of the borrowings.
When the construction of the qualifying assets takes more than one accounting period, the amount of foreign exchange differences eligible for capitalisation is determined for each annual period and are limited to the difference between the hypothetical interest amount for the functional currency borrowings and the actual interest incurred for foreign currency borrowings. Foreign exchange differences that did not meet the criteria for capitalisation in previous years should not be capitalised in subsequent years.
(n) Current and deferred income tax
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
(i) Current income tax
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where Property Sky Group operates and generates taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
– II-15 –
APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
(ii) Deferred income tax
Inside basis differences
Deferred income tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising from the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill and, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
Outside basis differences
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except for deferred income tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by Property Sky Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised on deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries only to the extent that it is probable the temporary difference will reverse in the future and there is sufficient taxable profit available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.
(iii) Offsetting
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
(o) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when Property Sky Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
(p) Revenue recognition
Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the services provided in the ordinary course of Property Sky Group’s activities. Revenue is shown net of returns, rebates and discounts and after eliminated sales within Property Sky Group. Revenue is recognised as follows:
Rental income from properties being let under operating leases is recognised on a straight line basis over the lease terms.
– II-16 –
APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
(q) Interest income
Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method. When a receivable is impaired, Property Sky Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loans and receivables is recognised using the original effective interest rate.
(r) Employee benefits
In accordance with the rules and regulations in the PRC, the PRC based employees of Property Sky Group participate in various defined contribution retirement benefit plans organised by the relevant municipal and provincial governments in the PRC under which Property Sky Group and the PRC based employees are required to make monthly contributions to these plans calculated as a percentage of the employees’ salaries, subject to a certain ceiling.
The municipal and provincial governments undertake to assume the retirement benefit obligations of all existing and future retired PRC based employees payable under the plans described above. Other than the monthly contributions, Property Sky Group has no further obligation for the payment of retirement and other post-retirement benefits of its employees. The assets of these plans are held separately from those of the Property Sky Group in independently administrated funds managed by the PRC government.
The contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due.
(s) Leases (as the lessee)
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the consolidated statements of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Property Sky Group leases certain properties. The leases are classified as finance lease where Property Sky Group has substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased assets. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments.
Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other long-term payables. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the income statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property acquired under finance lease is treated as investment property if it meets investment property definition (Note 2(g)).
3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
(a) Financial risk factors
Property Sky Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk. Property Sky Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on Property Sky Group’s financial performance.
(i) Credit risk
Credit risk of Property Sky Group mainly arises from bank balances and rent receivables from tenants.
There is no significant credit risk in relation to the Property Sky Group’s bank balances as the bank deposits are placed with reputable banks with high credit rating.
For rent receivables form tenants, credit checks are part of the normal leasing process. Property Sky Group normally received deposits for leases to tenants. Regular review is carried out and stringent monitoring procedures are in place to deal with overdue debts. At each balance sheet date, Property Sky Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade receivables to ensure that adequate provisions for impairment are made for irrecoverable amounts, if any.

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
(ii) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash balances. Property Sky Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and obtaining funding from its shareholders and a related company and other short-term and long-term borrowings for its operation.
The table below analyses Property Sky Group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity dates. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows and approximate their fair values.

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
(iii) Foreign exchange risk
Property Sky Group mainly operates in the PRC and Hong Kong and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from Renminbi. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, Property Sky Group manages its foreign exchange risk by performing regular review and monitoring its foreign exchange exposures.
As at 31 December 2013, 2014 ad 2015 and 30 June 2015 and 2016, if HK dollars had weakened/strengthened by 5% against Renminbi with all other variables held constant, Property Sky Group’s post-tax profit/loss for the years ended 31 December 2013, 2014 and 2015 and the six months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016 would have been HK$1,004,442 higher/lower, HK$338,314 higher/lower, HK$659 higher/lower, HK$24,037 higher/lower and HK$619 higher/lower respectively, mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of HK dollar denominated bank balances in the book of a subsidiary with net assets not denominated in HK dollars. Similarly, the impact on equity for the years ended 31 December 2013, 2014 and 2015 and the six months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016 would have been HK$42,800,000 higher/lower, HK$43,300,000 higher/lower, HK$40,400,000 higher/lower, HK$44,060,000 higher/lower and HK$42,750,000 higher/lower respectively, mainly as a result of the translation of foreign operation of a subsidiary operating in PRC into the presentation currency of Property Sky Group.
(iv) Interest rate risk
As Property Sky Group has no significant interest-bearing assets (other than bank deposits), Property Sky Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.
Property Sky Group is exposed to changes in interest rates due to its bank loan which bears interest at floating rates and loans from shareholders which are interest-free and discounted at market rates under effective interest method for the years ended 31 December 2013, 2014 and 2015 and for the six months ended 30 June 2016.
Management monitors its interest rate exposure periodically and will consider different sources of funding should the need arises. As the borrowings and loans from shareholders are drawn down specifically for financing the acquisition and development of the investment property, the financing cost was capitalised as part of the investment property under development with no significant impact to the results and equity of Property Sky Group.
As at 31 December 2013 and 2014 and 30 June 2015, if interest rate on borrowings and loans from shareholders had been 50 basis points higher/lower with all other variables held constant, the capitalised interest on “Investment property under development” would have been HK$6,106,903 higher/lower, HK$6,520,534 higher/lower and HK$6,808,133 higher/lower respectively as a result of higher/lower interest expenses on floating rate borrowings.
In addition, as at 31 December 2015 and 30 June 2016 if interests rates on borrowings and loans from shareholders had been 50 basis points higher/lower with all other variables held constant, the post-tax profit for the year/period would have been HK$5,189,086 higher/lower and HK$5,053,491 lower respectively mainly as a result of higher/lower interest expenses on floating rate borrowings.
(b) Capital risk management
Property Sky Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard Property Sky Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, Property Sky Group may adjust the amount of bank borrowings, loan from a related company and the funding from shareholders. Property Sky Group uses bank borrowings, loan from a related company and funding from its shareholders to finance its operations.

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
4 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Estimates and judgements 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.
Property Sky 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.
(a) Estimated fair value of investment property
Property Sky Group’s investment property was revalued at the balance sheet date on the open market value basis by independent professional valuer. Such valuation was based on certain assumptions, which are subject to uncertainty and might materially differ from the actual results. In making the judgement on whether such valuation and assumptions made by the valuer are reasonable, Property Sky Group considers information from comparable current prices in an active market for similar properties, capitalisation rates, terminal yield, rental income from current leases and assumptions about rental from future leases and the reversionary income potential and uses assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date. The main assumptions have been disclosed in Note 11.
(b) Taxation
Property Sky Group is subject to income taxes, land appreciation tax and withholding tax in the PRC and Hong Kong as applicable. There are certain transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination may be uncertain. Property Sky Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the financial period in which such determination is made.
Property Sky Group has used presumption that the carrying amount of investment property using fair value model will be recovered through sale. Accordingly, provision for deferred tax is made on revaluation of investment property as there is capital gain tax. If investment property would be recovered through use, provision for deferred tax is made on revaluation of investment property using income tax rate.
Recognition of deferred tax asset, which principally relates to tax losses of certain subsidiaries, depends on the management’s expectation of future taxable profit that will be available against which the tax losses can be utilised. The outcome of their actual utilisation may be different.
5 REVENUE
Property Sky Group is mainly engaged in property investment business and operated principally in the PRC. Revenue represents rental income, and is the only segment revenue of Property Sky Group.

(a) Valuation processes of the Company
Property Sky Group measures its investment property at fair value. The fair value of Property Sky Group’s investment property at 31 December 2013, 2014 and 2015 and 30 June 2016 have been determined on the basis of valuations carried out by independent valuer not related to Property Sky Group. Property Sky Group engaged DTZ to value its investment property as of 31 December 2013, 2014, 2015 and engaged Knight Frank to value its investment property as of 30 June 2016. Discussion of valuation processes and results are held between Property Sky Group’s management and respective valuers at each reporting date. At each reporting date Property Sky Group’s management:
-
verifies all major inputs to the independent valuation report;
-
assesses property valuations movements when compared to the prior period valuation report;
-
holds discussions with the independent valuer.
– II-25 –
APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
(b) Fair value hierarchy
Property Sky Group’s investment property is classified as Level 3 for which inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).
Fair value of investment property is generally derived using the income capitalisation method and wherever appropriate, by direct comparison method.
As of 31 December 2013, 2014 and 2015, investment property within Level 3 fair value hierarchy represents property where fair value is derived using the income capitalisation method. This valuation method is based on the capitalisation of the net income and reversionary income potential by adopting appropriate capitalisation rates, which are derived from analysis of sale transactions and valuer’s interpretation of prevailing investor requirements or expectations. The prevailing market rents adopted in the valuation have reference to valuer’s view of recent lettings, within the subject properties and other comparable properties.
As of 30 June 2016, investment property within Level 3 fair value hierarchy represents property where fair value is derived using the direct comparison method. Direct comparison method is based on comparing the property to be valued directly with other comparable properties, which have recently transacted. However, given the heterogeneous nature of real estate properties, appropriate adjustments are usually required to allow for any qualitative differences that may affect the price likely to be achieved by the property under consideration.

The following management discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accountants’ report of the Target Group for each of the three years ended 31 December 2013, 2014 and 2015 and the six months ended 30 June 2016.
1. BUSINESS REVIEW
The Target Group is principally engaged in investment holding and property investment business and its operations are entirely in the PRC. Property Sky is an investment holding company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, the issued share capital of which was held as to 50% and 50% by Keen Achieve and Wing Tai Properties, respectively, before Closing.

Accordingly, the only revenue of the Target Group is the rental income of the Property.
Upon Closing and as of the date of this circular, each of Property Sky, HK HoldCo and Project Company has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
2. FINANCIAL REVIEW
Set out below is certain financial information of the Target Group (on a consolidated basis) for the periods under review:
Revenue
The revenue generated from rental income of the Property represented the only segment revenue of the Target Group.
As the interior fitting of the Property was only completed in August 2015 and the Property was leased to tenants as serviced apartments only after such completion, the Target Group recorded no revenue for the two years ended 31 December 2013 and 2014, and the six months ended 30 June 2015.
For the year ended 31 December 2015 and the six months ended 30 June 2016, the Target Group recorded consolidated revenue of HK$1,486,408 and HK$6,162,313, respectively. The increase in revenue for the six months ended 30 June 2016 was a result of more units of serviced apartments being let when compared with 2015.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales of the Target Group mainly included the apportionment of (i) depreciation of furniture, fixtures and equipment and (ii) property tax and other taxes incurred by the Target Group with respect to the units of serviced apartments being let during the respective periods. Cost of sales also included other direct costs related to letting of serviced apartments such as property management expenses and utility charges.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX III
Since no serviced apartments in the Property have been let out until the second half of 2015, the Target Group recorded no cost of sales for the two years ended 31 December 2013 and 2014, and the six months ended 30 June 2015.

For the six months ended 30 June 2016, the Target Group recorded consolidated cost of sales of HK$4,514,098. The increase in cost of sales was mainly due to more units of serviced apartments being let when compared with 2015, and therefore higher percentage of depreciation and property tax and other taxes incurred by the Target Group have been apportioned as cost of sales.

For the year ended 31 December 2015, the Target Group recorded gross loss of HK$1,382,112. For the six months period ended 30 June 2016, the Target Group recorded gross profit of HK$1,648,215.

The increase was mainly attributable to a one-off government subsidy obtained and tax refunds during the financial year. The Target Group recorded a consolidated other net income of HK$9,019 in the year ended 31 December 2015 mainly attributable to tax refunds.
The consolidated other net income of the Target Group for the six months ended 30 June 2016 increased to HK$99,142 compared to HK$2,757 in the corresponding period in 2015. The increase was mainly due to forfeiture of several rental deposits and tax refunds.
Selling and marketing costs

The administrative expenses increased to HK$21,811,684 for the year ended 31 December 2015, an increase of 42.0% compared to 2014, mainly due to the increase in payroll costs for staff hired for the commencement of letting of the Property and project management fee incurred relating to the serviced apartments.

Dear Sirs
VALUATION OF VARIOUS UNITS AND BASEMENT CAR PARKING SPACES OF UPPER RIVERSIDE, BUILDING NO.3 LOCATED AT LANE 1288, NO 10 PUMING ROAD, PUDONG NEW DISTRICT, SHANGHAI, THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA
In accordance with the instructions from Jingrui Holdings Limited (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) for us to value the captioned property interest held by Fengyong (Shanghai) Property Co Ltd in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), we confirm that we have carried out inspections, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of market value of the property interest as at 30 June 2016.
Basis of Valuation
Market value is defined as “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.”
– IV-1 –
VALUATION REPORT
APPENDIX IV
The market value is the best price reasonably obtainable in the market by the seller and the most advantageous price reasonably obtainable in the market by the buyer. This estimate specifically excludes an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangements, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any element of special value. The market value of an asset or liability is also estimated without regard to costs of sale or purchase (or transaction) and without offset for any associated taxes or potential taxes.
Valuation Methodology
We have valued the property by using Direct Comparison Approach with reference to market comparable transactions and assumed sale of property with the benefit of vacant possession.
Direct Comparison Method is the most common and reliable valuation approach for valuing property by referencing to comparable market transactions of similar properties. The rationale of this method is to directly relate the market comparable transactions with the subject property to determine the market value. Adjustments will be applied to the said comparable transactions to adjust for differences between the subject property and the comparable transactions.
Title Documents and Encumbrances
We have been provided with copies of extracts of title documents relating to the property. However, we have not inspected the original documents to verify ownership or to verify any amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us. We have relied on the information given by the Company and its PRC legal adviser, Grandall Law Firm (Shanghai) 國浩律師 (上海) 事務所, regarding the title and other legal matters relating to the property.
No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on any property nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the property is free from encumbrances, restriction and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect its value.
Source of Information
We have relied to a considerable extent on the information given by the Company and the legal opinion of the Company’s PRC legal adviser. We have no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Company which is material to the valuation. We have accepted advice given by the Company on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenure, ownership, particulars of occupancy, construction costs, floor and site areas, development proposals and all other relevant matters. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation report are based on information contained in the documents provided to us and are therefore only approximations. We have not been able to carry out on-site measurements to verify the correctness of the site and floor areas of the property and we have assumed that the site and the floor areas shown on the documents handed to us are correct. We were also advised by the Company that no material facts have been omitted from the information provided.

VALUATION REPORT
APPENDIX IV
Inspection and Structural Condition
We have inspected the property. The inspection was carried out by Mr Kevin Xu, MRICS on 27 July 2016. However, no structural survey has been made, but in the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects. We are not, however, able to report that the property is free from rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No tests were carried out on any of the services.
Identity of Property to be valued
We exercised reasonable care and skill (but will not have an absolute obligation to you) to ensure that the property, identified by the property addresses in your instructions, is the property inspected by us and contained within our valuation report. If there is ambiguity as to the property addresses, or the extent of the property to be valued, this should be drawn to our attention in your instructions or immediately upon receipt of our report.
Environmental Issues
We are not environmental specialists and therefore we have not carried out any scientific investigations of sites or buildings to establish the existence or otherwise of any environmental contamination, nor have we undertaken searches of public archives to seek evidence of past activities that might identify potential for contamination. In the absence of appropriate investigations and where there is no apparent reason to suspect potential for contamination, our valuation is prepared on the assumption that the property is unaffected. Where contamination is suspected or confirmed, but adequate investigation has not been carried out and made available to us, then the valuation will be qualified.
Remarks
In preparing our valuation report, we have complied with “The HKIS Valuation Standards (2012 Edition)” published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors and all requirements contained in the provision of Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
Currency
All money amounts stated are in Renminbi.
Unless otherwise stated, we enclosed herewith our valuation report.
Yours faithfully For and on behalf of Knight Frank Petty Limited Clement W M Leung MFin MCIREA MHKIS MRICS RPS (GP) Executive Director Head of China Valuation
Note: Clement W M Leung MFin, MCIREA, MHKIS, MRICS, RPS(GP), is a qualified valuer and has about 23 years’ experience in the valuation of properties in Hong Kong, Macau and Asia Pacific region and has 21 years’ experience in the valuation of properties in the People’s Republic of China.

-
(2) The amounts are extracted from the audited consolidated balance sheet of Property Sky Group as at 30 June 2016 set out in Appendix II to this circular, and are translated from Hong Kong dollars into Renminbi at an exchange rate of HK$1.00 to RMB0.845803.
-
(3) Upon completion of the Transaction, the Group will own 100% equity interest in Property Sky Group.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
APPENDIX V
If the Transaction was completed on 30 June 2016, the total consideration for the Transaction would amount to RMB870,487,000 (comprising consideration of RMB139,775,000 for equity interest and consideration of RMB 730,712,000 for purchase of the loan from shareholders and settlement of the outstanding principal together with the accrued interest of the entrusted loans and loan from a related company) according to the formula in the sale and purchase agreement dated on 18 July 2016, among which RMB53,050,000 had been prepaid by the Group in June 2016, and RMB817,437,000 remained unpaid as at 30 June 2016. Assuming that the Transaction had been completed on 30 June 2016, the accounting impact of the Transaction on the Group’s assets and liabilities as at 30 June 2016 would be as follows:
| Consideration allocated to the Property Adjustment of current assets, current liabilities, long term liabilities excluding deferred tax liabilities, loans from shareholders and entrusted loans, loans from a related company and all interest accrued thereon Consideration for purchase of the loans from shareholders Consideration for settlement of the entrusted loans and loans from a related company Consideration for settlement of all interest accrued of the entrusted loans and loans from a related company Consideration for equity interest in Property Sky Group Less: fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Property Sky Group: Property, plant and equipment Investment properties Trade and other receivables and prepayments Cash and cash equivalents Borrowings Finance lease liability Deferred income tax liabilities Trade and other payables Amount due to a shareholder Loans from shareholders Loans from a related company Total identifiable net assets Goodwill |
RMB’000 1,349,110 (1,940,047) 639,935 90,000 777 139,775 (10,273) (1,485,699) (896) (18,396) 499,867 3,431 223,343 20,363 31 639,935 65,000 (63,294) 76,481 |
|---|---|
Since the consideration and the value of assets and liabilities of Property Sky Group at the actual completion date may substantially different from the amounts used in the preparation of this unaudited pro forma statement of assets and liabilities, the final amounts of the identifiable net assets and liabilities of Property Sky Group and the related goodwill to be recognised in connection with the Transaction may be different from the amounts presented above.
The directors are of the view that Property Sky Group is a growing business and there are no significant changes with an adverse effect on Property Sky Group that will take place in the near future. Based on such assessment, the directors consider that there is no indication of impairment in the value of goodwill for the purpose of this Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.
-
(4) The pro forma adjustment represents the estimated amounts for professional fees and other expenses payable by the Enlarge Group for the Transaction.
-
(5) Save as aforesaid, no other adjustments have been made to reflect any trading results or other transactions of the Group or Target Group entered into subsequent to 30 June 2016.

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANT’S ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
To the Directors of Jingrui Holdings Limited
We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of unaudited pro forma financial information of Jingrui Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”) and Property Sky Limited and its subsidiaries (the “Target Group”) (collectively the “Enlarged Group”) by the directors for illustrative purposes only. The unaudited pro forma financial information consists of the unaudited pro forma statement of assets and liabilities as at 30 June 2016 and related notes (the “Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information”) as set out on pages V-1 to V-3 of the Company’s circular dated 23 September 2016, in connection with the acquisition of the Target Group (the “Transaction”) by the Group. The applicable criteria on the basis of which the directors have compiled the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information are described on pages V-1 to V-3.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled by the directors to illustrate the impact of the Transaction on the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2016 as if the Transaction had taken place at 30 June 2016. As part of this process, information about the Group’s financial position has been extracted by the directors from the Company’s published interim results announcement, on which no audit or review report has been published.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The directors are responsible for compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”) and with reference to Accounting Guideline 7 “Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars” (“AG 7”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”).
Our Independence and Quality Control
We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the HKICPA, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
APPENDIX V
Our firm applies Hong Kong Standard on Quality Control 1 issued by the HKICPA and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Reporting Accountant’s Responsibilities
Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by paragraph 4.29(7) of the Listing Rules, on the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information and to report our opinion to you. We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.
We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3420 “Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus”, issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that the reporting accountant plans and performs procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the directors have compiled the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules and with reference to AG 7 issued by the HKICPA.
For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.
The purpose of unaudited pro forma financial information included in a circular is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant event or transaction on unadjusted financial information of the entity as if the event had occurred or the transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the Transaction at 30 June 2016 would have been as presented.
A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the unaudited pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the directors in the compilation of the unaudited pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:
-
The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and
-
The unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
APPENDIX V

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the unaudited pro forma financial information.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

4. LITIGATION AND CLAIMS
(a) Contractual Arrangements with Contractors
In September 2010, the Company, through its subsidiary, Taicang Jingrui Property Co., Ltd.* (太倉景瑞置業有限公司) (“Taicang Jingrui”), entered into a general contractor agreement with Longyuan Construction Group Co., Ltd. (龍元建設集團股份有限公司), or Longyuan Construction. The agreed contract price relating to the contractor work in dispute was approximately RMB170.0 million. Subsequently, Longyuan Construction refused to abide by the initial terms with respect to construction payments as agreed to under the general contractor agreement. In January 2012, the Company and Longyuan Construction entered into an administrative mediation agreement, pursuant to which the Company paid RMB15.0 million of the then outstanding construction consideration to Longyuan Construction and both parties agreed to engage a third party professional construction cost consulting firm to review the contract price. In August 2012, Longyuan Construction brought a lawsuit against Taicang

APPENDIX VI
Jingrui with Suzhou Intermediate People’s Court of Jiangsu Province, claiming an amount of approximately RMB97.1 million (being the total outstanding construction consideration and material costs but excluding an aggregate of RMB92.6 million in construction consideration that Taicang Jingrui had previously paid to Longyuan Construction prior to the lawsuit) and other penalty and legal fees in an aggregate amount of approximately RMB4.8 million. Meanwhile, certain residential units under development in Suzhou Jingrui Royal Bay were held in the custody of Suzhou Intermediate People’s Court upon Longyuan Construction’s request. In September 2012, Taicang Jingrui filed a counterclaim against Longyuan Construction for penalties arising under the contractor agreement. Based on the review and evaluation of third party entities appointed by Suzhou Intermediate People’s Court, the evaluated construction consideration was estimated to be approximately RMB136.5 million, but such consideration may not be the final amount. As at 31 December 2012, RMB136.5 million was accrued for the construction costs and reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, of which a total of RMB92.6 million had since been paid. In April 2013, the Company paid an additional RMB10.0 million, after which the custody of the residential units was released back to the Company. Furthermore, Longyuan Construction undertook to us in writing that it would not request custody for any of the Company’s properties. The Company engaged another general contractor shortly after terminating the agreement with Longyuan Construction and the Company did not experience any delay in delivering these properties to its customers. In July 2013, pursuant to the mediation letter issued by Suzhou Intermediate People’s Court, the Company and Longyuan Construction mutually agreed, among other things, that the total construction consideration is determined to be RMB138.0 million and the outstanding amounts payable by the Company to Longyuan Construction are to be comprised of (i) outstanding construction consideration of RMB28.5 million, payable in three installments with RMB10.0 million payable before 31 July 2013, RMB10.0 million before 31 August 2013 and RMB8.5 million before 30 September 2013, and (ii) outstanding warranty deposit of RMB6.8 million, payable in three installments, with RMB2.7 million payable before 30 September 2013, RMB2.7 million before 31 December 2014 and RMB1.4 million before 31 December 2015. As of the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had paid to Longyuan Construction all of the above outstanding construction consideration and warranty deposits, pursuant to the mediation letter. By accepting the mediation letter, the Company and Longyuan Construction have both waived their rights to appeal. The Company considers this matter settled.
In September 2009, the Company, through its subsidiary, Zhoushan Jingrui Property Co., Ltd.* (舟山景瑞置業有限公司) (“Zhoushan Jingrui”), entered into a general contractor agreement with Hengzun Group Co., Ltd. (恆尊集團有限公司) (“Hengzun Group”), in connection with the construction for part of Zhoushan Jingrui HOPSCA project. The total contract price under the agreement was approximately RMB29.9 million. In July 2012, Hengzun Group filed a lawsuit against Zhoushan Jingrui with the People’s Court of Putuo District, Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province, claiming a total outstanding construction consideration of RMB10.3 million plus related fees. The construction of Zhoushan Jingrui HOPSCA had been substantially completed at that time and the Company had already paid a total RMB18.5 million to Hengzun Group under the general contractor agreement. In October 2012, Hengzun Group withdrew the lawsuit and both parties agreed to engage a third party professional construction cost consulting firm to review the contract price. Due to the delay in delivering

APPENDIX VI
the finalized review report by this consulting firm, in March 2013, Hengzun Group filed another lawsuit against Zhoushan Jingrui, claiming a total outstanding construction consideration of RMB10.3 million plus related fees. As of 19 May 2015, the Company and Hengzun Group reached a mediation agreement, pursuant to which Hengzun Group agreed to return RMB250,000 to the Company by no later than 31 May 2015, and upon such payment, both parties agreed they have no further disputes in this case. As of the Latest Practicable Date, Hengzun Group had returned RMB250,000 to the Company.
The construction agreements with Longyuan Construction and Hengzun Group were entered into prior to the full implementation of the Company’s standardized project development procedures. The total contract prices of the agreements with these general construction contractors were fixed without the flexibility for adjustment, and was determined by taking into account the then prevailing market prices and limited estimations of fluctuations as to certain costs, primarily related to raw materials or labor. The Company believes the disputes with these contractors were primarily due to the significant increases in the costs and expenses incurred by them during the relevant construction periods, which led to such contractors becoming unsatisfied as to the original construction agreements and decided not to perform under such agreements. To avoid future disputes, the Company has since amended its standard terms of agreements with general construction contractors, which provide certain adjustment to the total contract price based on the suggested standard salary for construction workers issued periodically by the relevant local labor authority during the contract term. On the other hand, the general contractor agreements provide the price ranges for key raw materials, namely steel and concrete, by referring to the average monthly market prices issued by relevant local authorities during the property construction period. By providing the flexibility to adjust the contract price rather than the agreement being strictly based on a pre-determined fixed total price, the Company believes it is now able to better mitigate the potential risks as to disputes between the Company and its general construction contractors regarding the contract price, while continuing to be able to manage any potential cost fluctuations.
(b) Shanghai Garden City
On 31 December 2012, a claim for the return of a deposit of RMB30,500,000 and land use rights with a carrying value of RMB23,000,000 as at 31 December 2012 was brought by the Education Bureau of Hongkou District, Shanghai* (上海市虹口區教育局) (the “Education Bureau”) against Shanghai Garden City Real Estate Development Co., Ltd (“Shanghai Garden City”), a subsidiary of the Group, in relation to Shanghai Garden City’s failure to construct and deliver a school by May 2007 as agreed pursuant to an agreement (教育配套協議) signed between Shanghai Garden City and the Education Bureau on 20 June 2005 (the “Hongkou Case”). On 23 July 2013, Hongkou District People’s Court of Shanghai (上海市虹口區人民法院) delivered a judgment in favor of the Education Bureau, ruling that the Education Bureau is entitled to retain the RMB30,500,000 and to obtain the land use rights in dispute. The Group has filed a petition to appeal the judgement in August 2013. The appeal was dismissed by the Court on 25 December 2015.
