LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 2 June 2017 in respect of the 65% Acquisition. Given that the 35% Acquisition and the 65% Acquisition were entered into within a 12-month period, the 35% Acquisition and the 65% Acquisition shall be aggregated pursuant to Rule 14.22 of the Listing Rules.
The 65% Acquisition was completed on 7 June 2017, upon which 65% equity interest in the Target was owned by Hangzhou Jingxiao. As the Target is an insignificant subsidiary (as defined in Rule 14A.09 of the Listing Rules) of the Company, Hangzhou Yuhang (being a substantial shareholder of the Target immediately prior to the completion of the 35% Acquisition) is not a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Save as being a substantial shareholder of the Target immediately prior to the completion of the 35% Acquisition, to the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, Hangzhou Yuhang and its ultimate beneficial owners are not otherwise connected with the Company.
Subject matter
Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, Hangzhou Jingxiao agreed to acquire 35% equity interest in the Target from Hangzhou Yuhang free from any encumbrances (other than the permitted encumbrances provided for under the Acquisition Agreement) together with all rights and benefits therein.
The Target wholly owns and develops the Land located at Yuhang District, Hangzhou, PRC.
Consideration and basis of the consideration
The total consideration payable by Hangzhou Jingxiao for the 35% Acquisition is RMB390,738,400, comprising of: (i) the purchase price for 35% equity interest in the Target of RMB93,220,000, which represents the amount of registered capital contributed by Hangzhou Yuhang for the 35% equity interest in the Target of RMB10,500,000 and an equity premium of RMB82,720,000; and (ii) the consideration for the assignment to Hangzhou Jingxiao of the Yuhang Shareholder Loan in an aggregate amount of RMB297,518,400, which represents the outstanding principal of RMB262,518,400 and the related outstanding interests of RMB35,000,000 immediately prior to completion of the 35% Acquisition.
The consideration for the 35% Acquisition was arrived at after arm’s length negotiation between the parties, and was determined by reference to the capital contribution made and financing provided by Hangzhou Yuhang to the Target, the land premium paid by the Target for the Land, the net book value of the Land, the recent market value of comparable residential development in the Yangtze River Delta region and the outstanding amount of the Yuhang Shareholder Loan and other borrowings of the Target.

The consideration has been funded by using the Group’s available internal resources.
Completion
Written shareholders’ approval
Mr. YAN Hao and Mr. CHEN Xin Ge are co-founders of the Group and have been controlling shareholders of the Company and its predecessor since November 2002. Both of them are co-chairmen of the Company and Mr. YAN Hao is also the chief executive officer of the Company. Given that Mr. YAN Hao and Mr. CHEN Xin Ge have together managed, and continue to manage, the Group in a highly consensual manner and exercise their voting rights jointly, they are presumed to be parties acting in concert under the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, Mr. YAN Hao and Mr. CHEN Xin Ge and their respective holding companies, Beyond Wisdom Limited and Decent King Limited, are considered as a closely allied group of shareholders under Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules. Mr. YAN Hao, Mr. CHEN Xin Ge, Beyond Wisdom Limited and Decent King Limited have approved the 35% Acquisition in writing on 18 July 2017.
According to the Acquisition Agreement, completion of the 35% Acquisition shall take place on the date on which the business registration with local Administration for Industry and Commerce concerning the transfer of the 35% equity interest in the Target from Hangzhou Yuhang to Hangzhou Jingxiao is completed.

Information on the Land
The land number 2010-107 in Yuhang District, Hangzhou, PRC (余政掛出[2010]107號地 塊) is located at east of Hefeng Community, south of the planned Tianhe Road, west of the planned Hehua Road and Hangzhou Laojiu Silk Co., Ltd. and north of Hefeng Community (東 至禾豐社區土地;南至規劃中天荷路;西至規劃中荷花路、杭州老九絲綢有限公司;北至禾 豐社區土地), with a total site area of 84,856 square meters and a plot ratio of not more than 2.2 and an aboveground gross floor area of not more than 186,683.2 square meters. The Land shall be used for the development of residential properties of a total planned gross floor area of 183,851.41 square meters, and shall include a kindergarten within the residential complex of a total gross floor area of 4,864.31 square meters. The Target obtained the land use rights of the Land on 14 January 2011 pursuant to the Grant Contract of State-owned Land Use Rights and the land use rights of the Land has been granted to the Target for a term of 70 years and which shall due to expire on 10 May 2082. As of the date of this circular, the Target has obtained all relevant approvals and certificates, including the Certificate for the Use of State-Owned Construction Land dated 24 April 2014, the Planning Permit for Construction Use of Land dated 5 March 2013, the Planning Permit for Construction Works for the kindergarten dated 29 April 2014 and for the residential complex dated 25 November 2015 and the Permit for Commencement of Construction Works for the kindergarten dated 9 May 2014 and for the residential complex dated 11 October 2016 with respect to the Land. The Target has commenced the development and construction works on the Land in May 2014. As at the Latest Practicable Date, a total gross floor area of 183,851 sq.m. of the Land is under construction. The project developed on the Land is expected to be named Hangzhou Jingrui Spring Flowers (杭州景瑞春暖花都), which shall consist of two phases involving 33 residential buildings and 1,621 units. As of the Latest Practicable Date, the Target has completed foundation laying for the construction of the residential buildings. The slow construction progress was mainly due to the fact that additional time was required for removal of properties and structures and high-voltage overhead lines that were pre-existing on the Land at the time the Target acquired the land use rights of the Land, and which removal work for pre-existing properties and structures were mainly conducted by the Target in 2014 and 2015 and the high-voltage overhead lines are still subject to removal as at the Latest Practicable Date. Such delayed
– 10 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
progress in construction was not caused by any dispute over the ownership or construction of the Land. The Target confirms that there is no environmental issues and litigation dispute over the Land. The construction of the kindergarten within the residential complex has been completed in December 2016. However, the kindergarten has remain vacant and it is currently anticipated that the kindergarten will be put into use upon completion of the construction of the entire development project and after obtaining the relevant completion and examination registration form from relevant land administration authority. The Target has also commenced the construction of one of the residential buildings within the development since 2016. As of the Latest Practicable Date, the construction work of the residential buildings is still on-going. The construction of the residential buildings is scheduled to complete in the first half of 2019 and will be fully furnished by the end of 2020. It is currently expected that presale of the residential units shall commence in October 2017, whereby the Target may consider using the completed premise for the kindergarten as temporary presales office. The land premium for the Land of RMB732,000,000 had been fully paid by the Target.
Pursuant to the Grant Contract of State-owned Land Use Rights of the Land, the Target shall complete the construction of the Land on 11 May 2017 and such building covenant has lapsed. The lapse of the building covenant was mainly due to high-voltage overhead lines within the Land have not yet been removed. Accordingly, the Target is currently discussing with Hangzhou Land Resources Bureau in respect of the adjustment of the completion time. The Target will continuously liaise and discuss with the relevant land administration authority during course of the development of the Land to come up with a mutually acceptable extended completion date, which is expected to take place by the end of 2020. Pursuant to the Grant Contract of State-owned Land Use Rights, if the relevant building covenant fails to be complied with due to negligence or fault solely on the part of the Target and in the event that the Target fails to ratify the non-compliance in a manner satisfactory to the relevant land administration authority, the land administration authority may request the Target to pay a default amount of 0.05% of the land premium. However, based on current liaison with the relevant land administration authority, the Directors do not foresee any material obstacle in deferring the completion time for the development and construction of the Land and consider that the risk of being punished or request for the payment of any penalty or default amount due to deferred completion by the relevant land administration authority is relatively low. The audited net book value of the Land as of 30 June 2017 is approximately RMB972.8 million. As of the date of this circular, the Target has not commenced the presales of any residential units on the development.
According to the property valuation report in Appendix IV, the Land amounts to an aggregate market value in existing state attributable to the Target of approximately RMB1,200,000,000 as of 30 June 2017. Please refer to the property valuation report in Appendix IV of this circular for further details.

Such decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in cash and cash equivalents as a result of the payment of the consideration for the 35% Acquisition to Hangzhou Yuhang by the Group.
Earnings
As set out in the accountant’s report of the Target in Appendix II to this circular and the management discussion and analysis of the Target in Appendix III to this circular, the development and construction works on the Land have not been completed as of the date of this circular and therefore the Target has not commenced the presales of any residential units on the development. As such, the Target recorded no revenue and had recorded a net loss of RMB1,574,227 for the year ended 31 December 2016 and RMB1,959,769 for the six months ended 30 June 2017. While there will not be any immediate material impact on earnings of the Group, the Directors believe that the 35% Acquisition would enhance the Group’s business development by obtaining full control over the management of the development of the Land.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Subsequent financial effects from the Disposal
Upon completion of the Disposal, the Target will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company. The Group will hold 50% of the equity interest in the Target, which will be accounted for as a joint venture of the Company and the financial results of the Target will not be consolidated in the financial statements of the Group.
The Group anticipates that it will realize a gain of approximately RMB488,000 upon completion of the Disposal. The gain from the Disposal is mainly the difference between (i) the cash consideration for the disposal of the 50% equity interest in the Target of RMB133,170,000 and (ii) 50% of the total carrying amount of the net assets of the Target as at 31 August 2017 plus the relevant premium paid by the Group for the Acquisitions. For the part of the total consideration for the Disposal which shall be settled by way of the assignment of 50% of the Relevant Shareholder Loan in an amount of RMB445,526,286, no gain or loss would be realized as the Relevant Shareholder Loan was being assigned at par. In addition, the Group anticipates that it will realize an additional premium of RMB25 million from the Disposal should the Additional Cash Consideration become payable by Hangzhou Tengshun to Hangzhou Jingxiao pursuant to the terms of the Disposal Agreement.
In addition, upon completion of the Disposal, Hangzhou Jingxiao shall be entitled to a management fee equivalent to 4.5% of the total contracted sales from the presale and sale of the saleable properties developed on the Land, thereby reinforcing the realization of operation results.
Accordingly, the Directors believe that the Disposal would enhance the Group’s earnings. In addition, the Directors believe that the Disposal would enhance the Group’s financial position and liquidity through the proceeds from the Disposal as well as the implementation of the asset light operation strategy as a result of the Disposal.
VI. REASONS AND BENEFITS FOR THE 35% ACQUISITION AND THE DISPOSAL
The Group is principally engaged in the property development business in the Yangtze River Delta region.
Having regard to recent market activities in the property market within the Yangtze River Delta region and the market value of comparable residential development in the Yangtze River Delta region, the Group anticipates that the value of the properties within the region will continue to rise in the future. Based on the foregoing, the Group believes that the 35% Acquisition will benefit the Group by providing a good opportunity for the Group to further strengthen its income stream through the potential appreciation in value of the Land as well as further strengthening its presence in Hangzhou, PRC. Accordingly, in July 2017, the Group decided to enter into the Acquisition Agreement with Hangzhou Yuhang to acquire the remaining 35% equity interest in the Target. Upon completion of the 35% Acquisition, the Group owns the entire equity interest of the Target, thereby consolidating its control over the development of the Land. The 35% Acquisition is also in-line with the Group’s development strategy of intensively penetrating into the Yangtze River Delta region, with special focus on first-tier and second-tier core cities in this region.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
With the convening of the G20 summit, the rising new economy led by the Alibaba group, and the anticipation leading up to the 2022 Asian Games, Hangzhou has been regarded by major property developers as a key city for devotion of resources. A significant majority of top property developers in the PRC have already established a presence in Hangzhou. The land market in Hangzhou has been prosperous due to the attention received by major property developers and joint development has accordingly become the mainstream mode for major developers.
Based on the principles of growing its business and strengthening its presence in Hangzhou, devoting efforts in Hangzhou and creating greater value for Shareholders, the Group plans to actively cooperate with various major leading property developers in terms of business development. As one of the strategic key focus cities of the Group, Hangzhou has always been an important market for the Group to effect sustainable development and an expanding scale of development.
Subsequently, in late August 2017, the Group was approached by Yango Group, a well-known property developer, which showed its interest in co-investing in the Target after the publication of the announcement by the Company on 17 July 2017 in respect of the 35% Acquisition, upon which the Target became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and is fully controlled by the Company. In light of Yango Group’s reputable brand, established presence in the PRC, resources and diverse business operations, the Board believes that the collaboration with Yango Group will enable the Group to leverage on the management, experience, resources and network of Yango Group and enhance the Group’s long-term growth potential in the real estate sector of the PRC. Accordingly, the Group has decided to collaborate with Yango Group in developing the Land. The sale of the 50% equity interest in the Target will draw in Yango Group as an investor, draw in additional funding and enable the joining of brands and equity interests. The Group shall be responsible for the overall management of the development of the Land.
The cooperation between the Group and Yango Group was expressly upon the condition that the Group will be mainly responsible for the overall administration, operational development and daily management of the Land and retain the sole and final discretion to select and appoint all members of the project team responsible for the operational development of the Land. Apart from the Group’s shareholder interest in the future income to be realized from the development of the Land, the Group will also obtain a premium of RMB25 million from the Disposal and be awarded management fees of 4.5% from its own development capabilities, which will reinforce the realization of operation results. This is consistent with the Group’s plan to diversify into obtaining extra profit from its development and management capabilities. The introduction of Yango Group allows the Group to practically reduce the forthcoming market risks it may face in relation to the management of the development of the Land, and enables the Group to continue to devote resources and attention to Hangzhou using the proceeds obtained from the strategic cooperation with Yango Group.
Moreover, the Disposal is also consistent with the Group’s strategy in further strengthening and enhancing its asset-light operation and to further capitalize on the huge growth potential and opportunities of the asset-light operation market.
– 15 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Accordingly, the Directors are of the view that the Disposal is fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and its shareholders in light of:
-
(i) the good opportunity made available to the Group to collaborate with the reputable Yango Group thereby indirectly benefitting from its brand interests, and which opportunity has only arisen as a result of Yango Group being interested to invest in the Target and collaborate with the Group as the only joint venture partner upon the Target becoming wholly owned by the Group upon completion of the 35% Acquisition;
-
(ii) the synergies created as a result of the collaboration with Yango Group by leveraging on its management, experience, resources and network in the real estate and property development market;
-
(iii) the additional funding to be received by the Group from Yango Group through the proceeds from the Disposal which can be further invested on the development of the Land and other properties and developments of high appreciation and income potential;
-
(iv) notwithstanding that the Target would only be accounted for as a joint venture of the Company and thereby de-consolidated from the Group upon completion of the Disposal, the Group will be mainly responsible for the overall administration, operational development and daily management of the Land and retain the sole and final discretion to select and appoint all members of the project team responsible for the operational development of the Land. In return for the management of the development of the Land, the Group will be awarded management fees of 4.5% of the total contracted sales from the presale and sale of the saleable properties developed on the Land, and therefore reinforcing and diversifying the realization of operation results.
Based on the foregoing, although the Group would lose its control over the management of the Target, the Directors are of the view that the collaboration with Yango Group and the discretion that the Group will maintain over project management is still in-line with the initial intention of the Group to consolidate and maintain its control over the development of the Land upon entering into of the 35% Acquisition. The Directors believe that the development of the Land upon completion of the Disposal will still bring upon sustainable income stream to the Group both through its share of profit of the Target as a joint venture as well as the management fee to be received by the Group for the management of the development of the Land.
The Directors consider that each of the 35% Acquisition and the Disposal to be within the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, and that each of the 35% Acquisition and the Disposal and the transactions contemplated under each of the Acquisition Agreement and the Disposal Agreement have been made on normal commercial terms and were arrived at after arm’s length negotiation. The Directors believe that the terms of each of the Acquisition Agreement and the Disposal Agreement, including the consideration for each of the 35% Acquisition and the Disposal, are fair and reasonable and that each of the 35% Acquisition and the Disposal is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
VII. LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 2 June 2017 in respect of the 65% Acquisition. Given that the 35% Acquisition and the 65% Acquisition were entered into within a 12-month period, the 35% Acquisition and the 65% Acquisition shall be aggregated pursuant to Rule 14.22 of the Listing Rules. As one of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in the Listing Rules) in respect of the 35% Acquisition and the 65% Acquisition, on an aggregate basis, is more than 25% but less than 100%, the 35% Acquisition, on an aggregate basis with the 65% 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.
As no Shareholder has a material interest in the 35% Acquisition, no Shareholder would be required to abstain from voting if the Company was to convene a general meeting for approving the 35% Acquisition. Pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules, written shareholders’ approval can be accepted in lieu of holding a general meeting, provided that no qualified opinion is issued by the auditor in respect of the accountant’s report of the Target to be included in this circular. No qualified opinion was issued by the auditor in respect of the accountant’s report of the Target for the three financial years ended 31 December 2014, 2015 and 2016 and for the six months ended 30 June 2017, as set out in Appendix II to this circular. The Company’s controlling shareholders, namely, Mr. YAN Hao and Mr. CHEN Xin Ge, who, through Beyond Wisdom Limited and Decent King Limited, hold 505,917,613 Shares and 427,205,918 Shares, representing 39.18% and 33.08% of the issued capital of the Company as of the date of this circular, respectively. Mr. YAN Hao and Mr. CHEN Xin Ge are co-founders of the Group and have been controlling shareholders of the Company and its predecessor since November 2002. Both of them are co-chairmen of the Company and Mr. YAN Hao is also the chief executive officer of the Company. Given that Mr. YAN Hao and Mr. CHEN Xin Ge have together managed, and continue to manage, the Group in a highly consensual manner and exercise their voting rights jointly, they are presumed to be parties acting in concert under the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, Mr. YAN Hao and Mr. CHEN Xin Ge and their respective holding companies, Beyond Wisdom Limited and Decent King Limited, are considered as a closely allied group of shareholders under Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules. Mr. YAN Hao and Mr. CHEN Xin Ge, through their respective wholly owned holding companies, Beyond Wisdom Limited and Decent King Limited, have approved the Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder in writing and thereby completion of the 35% Acquisition has taken place on 28 July 2017.

Yours faithfully, By order of the Board Jingrui Holdings Limited Yan Hao Chen Xin Ge

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET
APPENDIX II
Reporting accountant’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Historical Financial Information and to report our opinion to you. We conducted our work in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Investment Circular Reporting Engagements 200, Accountants’ Reports on Historical Financial Information in Investment Circulars issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”). This standard requires that we comply with ethical standards and plan and perform our work to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Historical Financial Information is free from material misstatement.
Our work involved performing procedures to obtain evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Financial Information. The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountant’s judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the Historical Financial Information, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the reporting accountant considers internal control relevant to the directors’ preparation of Historical Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in Note 2(a) to the Historical Financial Information in order to design procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Target’s internal control. Our work also included evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical Financial Information.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion the Historical Financial Information gives, for the purposes of the accountant’s report, a true and fair view of the financial position of the Target as at 31 December 2014, 2015, 2016 and 30 June 2017 and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the Track Record Period in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in Note 2(a) to the Historical Financial Information.

We have reviewed the stub period comparative financial information of the Target which comprises the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six months ended 30 June 2016 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 basis of preparation set out in Note 2(a) to the Historical Financial Information. 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

APPENDIX II
Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the HKICPA. A review 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 purposes of the accountant’s report, is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in Note 2(a) to the Historical Financial Information.

APPENDIX II
II NOTES TO THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF HANGZHOU XIAOYING
1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The Target is a limited liability company incorporated in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). The address of its registered office is Room 501, No. 1 Yixian Road, Nanyuan Street, Yuhang District, Hangzhou.
The Target is principally engaged in property development business in Hangzhou.
The Target was established by Meihao Holdings Group Co., Ltd. (“Meihao”), Yuhang Supply and Marketing Holding Group Co., Ltd. (“Hangzhou Yuhang”) and Hangzhou Dongying Investment and Consulting Company Ltd. (“Dongying”) in 2011. On 14 December 2014, Dongying transferred all its equity interests of Hangzhou Xiaoying to Meihao with a consideration of RMB21,450,000. After the transaction, Meihao and Hangzhou Yuhang owned equity interests of Hangzhou Xiaoying of 65% and 35%, respectively. On 2 June 2017, Meihao entered into an agreement with Hangzhou Jingxiao Investment Co., Ltd. (“Hangzhou Jingxiao”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, to transfer all its equity interests to Hangzhou Jingxiao with a total consideration of RMB725,654,171. The transaction was completed on 7 June 2017. After the transaction, the Target became a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Group.
On 17 July 2017, Hangzhou Jingxiao entered into an equity interests transfer agreement with Hangzhou Yuhang to acquire the remaining 35% equity interest in Hangzhou Xiaoying. The transaction was completed on 28 July 2017, and a total consideration of RMB390,738,400 was paid by Hangzhou Jingxiao to Hangzhou Yuhang. After the completion of the transaction, Hangzhou Xiaoying became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Historical Financial Information is presented in Renminbi (“RMB”) which is also the functional currency of Hangzhou Xiaoying.
2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of preparation
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Historical Financial Information are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented. The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with all applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”). The Historical Financial Information have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The preparation of Historical 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 Hangzhou Xiaoying. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Historical Financial Information are disclosed in Note 4 to the Historical Financial Information.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET
APPENDIX II
New/revised standards, amendments and interpretations
The following new standards relevant to the operations of Hangzhou Xiaoying have been issued and are not yet effective for its financial year beginning 1 January 2017 and have not been early adopted:
| Effective for accounting periods | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| beginning on or after | ||||
| HKFRS | 9 | Financial | Instruments | 1 January 2018 |
| HKFRS | 15 | Revenue | from Contracts with Customers | 1 January 2018 |
| HKFRS | 16 | Leases | 1 January 2019 |
Management has not early adopted any new accounting and financial reporting standards, amendments or interpretations to existing standards which have been issued but are not yet effective and is in the process of making assessments on the impacts of the above three new standards and has not yet in a position to conclude the assessments.
(b) Foreign currency translation
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the Historical Financial Information are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’).
(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-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss in the statements of comprehensive income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in profit or loss within “Finance income or costs”. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within “Other gains/(losses) – net”.
(c) Furniture, fixtures and equipment
Furniture, fixtures and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation and impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure 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 the company 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 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 gains/(losses) – net” in profit or loss in the statements of comprehensive income.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET
APPENDIX II
(d) Properties under development for sale
Properties under development for sale are included in current assets at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The costs of properties under development consist of costs of leasehold land, resettlement costs (if any), construction expenditure, capitalised borrowing costs and other direct costs incurred during the development period. Net realisable value is based on estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business as determined by management with reference to the prevailing market conditions, less further costs expected to be incurred to completion and selling and marketing costs.
(e) 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 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.
(f) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and at banks and deposits held at call with banks.
(g) 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.
(h) Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade and 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.
Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using effective interest method.
(i) Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
The fair value of borrowing from shareholders is determined based on market discounted rate and the difference between the redemption value and the fair value is recognised in the statements of changes in equity in capital contribution reserve at the initial recognition and amortised using the effective interest method over the period of the borrowing.
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 facilities will be drawn down. In this case, the fees are deferred until the drawn-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 prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless Hangzhou Xiaoying has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.
– II-10 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET
APPENDIX II
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.
(j) Current and deferred taxation
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit of loss, 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 Hangzhou Xiaoying 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) Deferred income tax
Inside basis differences
Deferred income tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the 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.
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.
– II-11 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET
APPENDIX II
(k) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when Hangzhou Xiaoying 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.
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 Hangzhou Xiaoying. 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, it will then be recognised as a provision.
(l) Interest income
Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method. When a receivable is impaired, Hangzhou Xiaoying 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.
(m) Employee benefits
In accordance with the rules and regulations in the PRC, the PRC based employees of Hangzhou Xiaoying participate in various defined contribution retirement benefit plans organised by the relevant municipal and provincial governments in the PRC under which Hangzhou Xiaoying 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, Hangzhou Xiaoying 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 Hangzhou Xiaoying in independently administrated funds managed by the PRC government.
The contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due.

3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
(a) Financial risk factors
Hangzhou Xiaoying is exposed to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. Hangzhou Xiaoying’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on its financial performance.
(i) Credit risk
Credit risk of Hangzhou Xiaoying mainly arises from bank balances and other receivables.
There is no significant credit risk in relation to Hangzhou Xiaoying’s bank balance as the bank deposits are placed with reputable banks with high credit rating.
Other receivables mainly comprise deposits made in the ordinary course of business. Hangzhou Xiaoying closely monitors these other receivables to ensure actions are taken to recover these balances in the case of any risk of default.
(ii) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash balances. Hangzhou Xiaoying manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and obtaining funding from its shareholders and short-term and long-term borrowings for its operation.
The table below analyses Hangzhou Xiaoying’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.

(iii) Interest rate risk
Hangzhou Xiaoying is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk for the borrowings with floating rate for its bank loan and fair value interest rate risk for loans from shareholders which are discounted at market rates under effective interest method for the years ended 31 December 2014, 2015 and 2016 and for the six months ended 30 June 2017.
Management monitors its interest rate exposure periodically and will consider different sources of funding should the need arises.
As at 31 December 2014, if interest rate on loans from shareholders had been 50 basis points higher/lower with all other variables held constant, the capitalised interest in “Properties under development for sale” would have been RMB2,233,000 higher/lower, and the post-tax loss for the year/period would have been RMB1,595,000 higher/lower mainly as a result of higher/lower interest expenses on floating rate borrowings.
In addition, as at 31 December 2015, 2016 and 30 June 2016 and 2017, if interest rate on bank borrowings and loans from shareholders had been 50 basis points higher/lower with all other variables held constant, the capitalised interest in “Properties under development for sale” would have been RMB3,849,000 higher/lower, RMB3,900,000 higher/lower, RMB1,934,000 higher/lower and RMB2,050,000 higher/lower respectively as a result of higher/lower interest expenses on floating rate borrowings.
(b) Capital risk management
Hangzhou Xiaoying’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard Hangzhou Xiaoying’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, Hangzhou Xiaoying may adjust the amount of bank loan and the funding from shareholders. Hangzhou Xiaoying uses bank borrowings and funding from its shareholders to finance its operations.

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.
Hangzhou Xiaoying 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.
Taxation
Hangzhou Xiaoying is subject to income taxes in Hangzhou, the PRC. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Hangzhou Xiaoying recognised 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 income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
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.

As at 30 June 2017, the effective interest rate of each of the bank loans was approximately 4.75% per annum.
17 LOANS FROM SHAREHOLDERS AND INTEREST PAYABLE ON LOANS FROM SHAREHOLDERS
The balance as at 31 December 2014, 2015, 2016 represents the loans from the shareholders to Hangzhou Xiaoying which matured on 30 June 2017 with annual weighted average interest rate of 2.03%. The loans are measured at fair value based on cash flow discounted at an annual rate of 5.78% and are within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The differences between the borrowed amount and the fair values representing the notional interests on discounted loans from the then or current shareholders are credited to the capital contribution reserve at initial recognition. Such notional interests are debited to property under development for sale or directly charged to profit or loss as appropriate and loan balances are gradually unwind back to the borrowed amount upon the maturity date on 30 June 2017. The discounted rate was calculated based on the benchmark interest rate of People’s Bank of China. As of 30 June 2017, the shareholders’ loans are repayable on demand. The carrying amounts of the balances approximate their fair values.
The balances of interest payable on loans from shareholders as at 31 December 2014, 2015 and 2016 and 30 June 2017 represent the outstanding actual amount of interests on the loans from shareholders with a weighted average interest rate of 2.03%.

We would point out that the copies of documents provided to us are mainly compiled in Chinese characters and the transliteration into English represents our understanding of the contents. We would therefore advise the Company to make reference to the original Chinese edition of the documents and consult your legal adviser regarding the legality and interpretation of these documents.
TITLE INVESTIGATION
We have been provided with copies of documents in relation to the current title to the Land. However, we have not been able to conduct searches to verify the ownership of the Land or to ascertain any amendment which may not appear on the copies handed to us. We are also unable to ascertain the title of the Land in the PRC and we have therefore relied on the advice given by the PRC legal adviser and the Company.
SITE INSPECTION
Our Hangzhou Office valuer, Leo Li (a China Real Estate Appraiser and China Real Estate Valuer with 9 years’ valuation experience), has inspected the exterior and, wherever possible, the interior of the Land in August 2017. However, we have not carried out investigation on site to determine the suitability of the soil conditions and the services etc. for any future development. Our valuation is prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary costs or delays will be incurred during the construction period.
Unless otherwise stated, we have not carried out on-site measurements to verify the site and floor areas of the Land and we have assumed that the areas shown on the copies of the documents handed to us are correct.

The following is an illustrative and unaudited pro forma statement of assets and liabilities of the Group after acquiring the remaining 35% equity interests in Hangzhou Xiaoying Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. (collectively referred to as the “Enlarged Group”) which has been prepared on the basis of the notes set out below for the purpose of illustrating the effect of the acquisition of the remaining 35% equity interests in Hangzhou Xiaoying Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.

This unaudited pro forma statement of assets and liabilities has been prepared based on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Group as at 30 June 2017. Since the Company already indirectly owned 65% equity interests in Hangzhou Xiaoying before the 35% Acquisition, the Company will indirectly own 100% equity interests in Hangzhou Xiaoying upon the completion of the 35% Acquisition. The difference between the consideration for 35% equity interests amounting to RMB93,220,000 and the carrying amount of the 35% equity interests will be debited to other reserve within equity.
This unaudited pro forma statement of assets and liabilities has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and because of its hypothetical nature, it may not give a true picture of the financial position of the Enlarged Group had the 35% Acquisition been completed as at 30 June 2017 or at any future date.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
APPENDIX V
Notes to the unaudited pro forma statement of assets and liabilities of the Enlarged Group:
-
(1) The amounts are extracted from the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Group as at 30 June 2017 set out in the Company’s published condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2017. The Group already indirectly owned 65% equity interests in Hangzhou Xiaoying as at 30 June 2017.
-
(2) Before the 35% Acquisition, the Group indirectly owned 65% equity interests in Hangzhou Xiaoying. Thus, the accounts of Hangzhou Xiaoying were consolidated by the Group and the remaining 35% equity interests held by Yuhang Supply and Marketing Holding Group Co., Ltd. were recorded as non-controlling interests.
The total consideration for the 35% Acquisition was RMB390,738,400 comprising consideration of RMB93,220,000 for 35% equity interests of Hangzhou Xiaoying and consideration of RMB297,518,400 for purchase of the loan from shareholder with the accrued interest at book value.
Upon completion of the 35% Acquisition, the difference between the carrying amount of the non-controlling interests of 35% equity interests and the consideration of RMB93,220,000 to be paid for the equity interests will be recognised in equity attributable to equity holders of the Company. Hangzhou Xiaoying will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Group.
For the purpose of preparing the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, it is assumed that the consideration will be paid by cash and a deduction of RMB390,738,400 in cash and cash equivalents will be recognised to reflect the payment of the consideration.
-
(3) The pro forma adjustment represents the estimated amounts for professional fees and other expenses payable by the Enlarged Group for the 35% Acquisition.
-
(4) Save as aforesaid, no other adjustments have been made to reflect any trading results or other transactions, including the Disposal, of the Group or Hangzhou Xiaoying entered into subsequent to 30 June 2017.

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”) 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 2017 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 25 September 2017, in connection with the acquisition of the remaining 35% equity interests in Hangzhou Xiaoying Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. (the “Target”) by the Group (the “35% Acquisition”). 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 35% Acquisition on the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2017 as if the 35% Acquisition had taken place at 30 June 2017. As part of this process, information about the Group’s financial position has been extracted by the directors from the Company’s published condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2017, on which no audit or review report has been published.
Directors’ Responsibility for 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 35% Acquisition at 30 June 2017 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
