Given the ongoing development and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, which is expected to be temporary in nature, the growth of GDP of the PRC for 2020 was lower than the growth recorded in 2019. Nonetheless, despite the then short-term challenging environment, the PRC economy achieved

– 24 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

positive growth for 2020. However, the PRC economy has since continued to recover and recorded a period-on-period growth in GDP of approximately 9.8% for the nine months ended 30 September 2021 compared to the correspondence prior year period, based on preliminary data published by the National Bureau of Statistics of the PRC.

The PRC government had implemented policies to promote urbanisation in the PRC through to, among others, (i) accelerate the agricultural population urbanisation (加快農業轉 移人口市民化) by implementing three main strategies, namely further reform of the household registration system (深化戶籍制度改革), implementation of the residence permit system (實施居住證制度) and improvement on the system for promoting urbanisation of agricultural population (健全促進農業轉移人口市民化的機制); and (ii) optimise urbanisation layout (優化城鎮化佈局和形態) by implementing three main strategies, namely the acceleration of the construction and advancement of urban agglomeration (加快城市群建設發展), enhance the drive of activities by central cities (增強中心城市輻射帶動功能) and speeding up of the development of small and medium-sized cities and characteristical towns (加快發展中小城市 和特色鎮).

In addition, based on publication by the PRC government in relation to the Fourteenth Five Year Plan (十四五規劃), the PRC government will focus on enhancing the quality and efficacy of the overall economy with a view to attain sustainable and healthy development through, among others, (i) the improvement of supply chain modernisation (提升產業鏈供應 鏈現代化水平); (ii) the development of strategical new industries (發展戰略性新興產業); (iii) the acceleration of modern service industries development (加快發展現代服務業); (iv) the coordination of infrastructure construction advancement (統籌推進基礎設施建設); and (v) the acceleration of the development of digitalisation (加快數位化發展)[1] .

The development of the PRC property market will continue to be influenced by changes in PRC government policies at a national and regional level, market environment as well as the overall economic development of the PRC. On this basis, it is expected that the increase in urbanisation rate in the PRC and continuous development of the PRC economy shall continue to drive the PRC property-related industries over time.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

In relation to the marketing referral services, we have obtained a schedule from the Management (the “ Properties Schedule ”), which listed out the residential property units expected to be available from the Jinke Property Group for the Group to sell under the Framework Marketing Service Agreement. We noted from the Properties Schedule that there were 58,200 property units up to 31 December 2023, comprised of 4,200, 24,000 and 30,000 property units for the year ending 31 December 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively, having considered that the year ending 31 December 2021 is not a full year for the continuing connected transactions while both of the years ending 31 December 2022 and 2023 will be full years for the continuing connected transactions. These property units are across different regions in the PRC, including, among others, the Central China region, South-Western China region and Eastern China region. As advised by the Management, these regions cover, among others, Chongqing province, Jiangsu province, Sichuan province, Zhejiang province, Henan province, Guangxi province and other provinces in the PRC. Further to the above, the Properties Schedule also sets out information such as, among other things, the estimated number of property units available from the Jinke Property Group, the average selling price of those subject property units and the estimated service fee per property unit. Please refer to further analysis performed by us under the section headed “Our view” below.

In this connection, we have reviewed the interim report of Jinke Property for the six months ended 30 June 2021 and noted that the business of Jinke Property Group covers 23 PRC provinces, with primary focus across cities, including Chongqing, Hangzhou, Zhengzhou, Chengdu, Jinan, Hefei, Nanning, Suzhou, Wenzhou, Wuxi. During the 1H2021, the Jinke Property Group recorded an increase in total revenue of approximately 45.1% compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, and that the sales amount contributed by each of the Eastern China region, Chongqing, the Southwestern China region (excluding Chongqing), the Central China region and the Southern China region amounted to approximately 43%, 20%, 12%, 11% and 8%, respectively. Furthermore, as at 30 June 2021, the Jinke Property Group has total saleable resources (總可售資源) of approximately 73.1 million sq.m., of which the portion of total saleable resources (總可 售資源) of Chongqing decreased to approximately 23.7%, and the total saleable resources* (總可售資源) of the Eastern China region, Southwestern China region (excluding Chongqing), the Central China region, the Southern China region, and the Northern China region accounted for approximately 20.9%, 18.3%, 17.8%, 9.2% and 5.3%, respectively.

We noted that the Advertising Schedule was based on the number of Advertising Projects from various locations across the PRC, including the South-Western China region, Central China region and Eastern China region, and as advised by the Management, the Advertising Projects are mainly located in first and second-tier cities in the PRC.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Our view

We noted that the basis of the proposed annual caps for the transactions contemplated under the Framework Marketing Service Agreement was determined with reference to the following price and quantity data, in respect of (a) the marketing referral services, which the Management estimated based on (i) the number of subject property units available from the Jinke Property Group of 58,200 property units up to 31 December 2023, comprised of 4,200, 24,000 and 30,000 property units for the year ending 31 December 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively; (ii) the average selling price of these subject property units estimated to range from RMB7,000 per sq.m. to RMB15,000 per sq.m.; and (iii) the estimated service fee per property unit of not less than RMB20,000 up to RMB50,000; and (b) the marketing related advertising services, based on (i) 800 projects available up to 31 December 2021, 900 projects available up to 31 December 2022 and 1,000 projects available up to 31 December 2023 from the Jinke Property Group; and (ii) the estimated fee to be charged which ranged from RMB2,000 per month to RMB10,000 per month, based on the type of services and duration of the project.

With a view to assess the reasonableness of the fee estimations under the proposed annual caps, we have performed work to assess the relevant price and quantity information used in deriving the proposed annual caps, including, among others, obtained and reviewed not less than 20 historical contracts, selected on a random basis, with a view to assess the reasonableness of the estimated price applied, for both marketing referral services and the marketing related advertising services, entered between the Group and the Independent Third Parties (the “ Historical I3P Contracts ”) and noted that the estimated service fees for property units of which the Group may provide marketing referral services and the estimated fee to be charged by the Group in relation to the provision of marketing related advertising services are broadly in line with that of the Historical I3P Contracts of similar and comparable nature.

As for assessment on the reasonableness of the estimated quantity used in deriving the proposed annual caps, we conducted analysis on the the number of property units available from the Jinke Property Group. The Management has provided the Properties Schedule which sets out the potential property units under property development projects of Jinke Property Group by different PRC regions, which primarily related to property projects in, among others, the Chongqing province, Sichuan province, Jiangsu province and other provinces in the PRC. In this connection, we have reviewed the interim report of Jinke Property Group for the six months ended 30 June 2021 and noted that the Jinke Property Group has property projects across 23 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, (i) with sales amount for the six months ended 30 June 2021 attributable as to approximately 43%, 20%, 12%, 11% and 8% to each of East China region, Chongqing region, Southwest region (excluding Chongqing), Central China region, South China region, respectively; (ii) as at 30 June 2021, the Jinke Property Group has saleable resources* (可售資源) of approximately 73.1 million sq.m. comprised of approximately 23.7%, 20.9%, 18.3%, 17.8%, and 9.2% to Chongqing, Eastern China region, Southwestern China region (excluding Chongqing), the Central China region, the Southern China region, and the Northern China region, respectively; and (iii) as advised by the Management, the estimated quantity used in deriving the

– 34 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

proposed annual caps was based on the historical portion of Jinke Property Group’s property sales through external agents, and we noted that the rate adopted in deriving the proposed annual caps is less than the historical rate of Jinke Property Group’s property sales through external agents. The Group’s marketing referral services under the Framework Marketing Service Agreement will form part of the Jinke Property Group’s property sales through agents going forward. Based on the information as set out under (i) and (ii) above and considered that such is broadly in line with the region/provinces as set out in the Properties Schedule, the information above which has been extracted from the Jinke Property Group supports the reasonableness of the information set out in the Properties Schedule.

In addition, we also considered (i) the schedule of the EGM and the timing of entering into Specific Agreements is subject to negotiation between the Group and the Jinke Property Group, thus the Management estimated that while a proportion of the marketing services would be provided during the year ending 31 December 2021, certain proportion of such services may be provided during the year ending 31 December 2022 and 2023. We also noted that each of 2022 and 2023 is a complete year under the Framework Marketing Service Agreement compared to a partial year for the provision of relevant services for the year ending 31 December 2021. As such, the Management estimated that comparatively more marketing services would be provided during the years ending 31 December 2022 and 2023.

On this basis, having considered our analysis on the proposed annual caps in respect of both price and quantity, including (i) the estimated service fee per property unit of not less than RMB20,000 up to RMB50,000 to be charged by the Group for the provision of the marketing referral services; (ii) the estimated sales level for the years ending 31 December 2021, 2022 and 2023; (iii) the estimated value of residential properties and/or car parking spaces available from Jinke Property Group; (iv) the service fees to be charged for the provision of different type of marketing related advertisement services by the Group which ranged from RMB2,000 per month to RMB10,000 per month; (v) the estimated number of Advertising Projects available during the years ending 31 December 2021, 2022 and 2023 from Jinke Property Group; (vi) the estimated duration for each Advertising Projects; and (vii) the Group’s ongoing business expansion as evidenced by, in particular, the revenue growth recorded by the Group during the 1H2021 and FY2020 of approximately 88.8% and 44.3%, respectively, details of which are set out under the section headed “1. Information of the Group” in this letter above, we concur with the Management that the basis of determining the proposed annual caps for the transactions contemplated under the Framework Marketing Service Agreement for the years ending 31 December 2021, 2022 and 2023 of RMB150 million, RMB900 million and RMB1,200 million respectively, to be fair and reasonable.

Nevertheless, the Shareholders are advised that the proposed annual caps only represent an estimate by the Group based on the information available at the relevant time and is not an indication of the actual revenue to be derived by the Group. In addition, the proposed annual caps would provide the Group with the flexibility but not the obligation to provide marketing services to Jinke Property Group and the Group shall comply with the relevant internal control measures prior to entering into any Specific Agreements.
