LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(f) Method of offering

The offering will be conducted through a combination of placings offline to participants of the price consultation process, and online offering at a fixed price, or through any other methods of offering as authorized by the CSRC.

Taking into account the interests of the existing Shareholders and the market conditions of the PRC stock markets at the time of the A Share Offering, the offering price will be determined by the Board and the leading underwriter with reference to the results of the price consultation process and the market condition or such other methods approved by the CSRC.

Further, the issue price is expected to be above the net asset value per share according to the then latest audited financial statements of the Company. As at 31 December 2015, the audited net asset value per share of the Company is RMB1.93. In addition, according to Article 127 of the Company Law of the People’s Republic of China, the share may be issued at a price equal to or in excess of par value, but not below par value. As the par value of the new A Shares to be issued by the Company under the A Share Offering is RMB1.00, the issue price of the A Shares will not be lower than RMB1.00 per share. Save as the aforesaid provision, there is no minimum issue price for the issue of A Shares under the A Share Offering. For illustration purpose only, the issue price will be RMB5.231 assuming maximum offer size of 59,262,223 A Shares is issued and maximum proceeds of RMB310.02 million is raised.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(j) Conversion into a joint stock company with limited liability with domestic and overseas listed shares

Since H Shares of the Company are listed on the main board of the Stock Exchange and the Company intends to apply for the listing of A Shares on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, an application will be made to convert the Company into a joint stock company with limited liability with domestic and overseas listed shares.

(k) Valid period of the resolutions for the proposal of the A Share Offering

The proposed A Share Offering shall be subject to approval by the Shareholders at the EGM and the Class Meetings. Upon such approval, the proposed A Share Offering and related resolutions will be valid for 12 months from the date of passing of each resolution at the EGM and the Class Meetings.

As the progress of the application for the A Share Offering is dependent on the approval process of the CSRC and other regulatory authorities and is likely to take more time under the current market conditions, the Directors consider a validity of 12 months for the resolutions relating to the A Share Offering flexible and practicable to the application of A Share Offering. In the event that the resolutions described herein expire prior to the A Share Offering, the Directors will seek the Shareholders’ approval to extend the validity period of the resolutions relating to the A Share Offering.

Reasons and Benefits of the A Share Offering

The Directors consider that the A Share Offering will (i) further optimize the corporate governance structure of the Company; (ii) develop domestic and international financing platforms; and (iii) improve the liquidity of Shares held by the Shareholders and by enhancing the liquidity of the Domestic Shares, the Company’s growth potential is expected to be enhanced as well. For example, the Company can by implementation of share incentive schemes retain and attract more high caliber personnel, and carry out further acquisitions and mergers using A Shares as payment considerations.

Since the Company currently mainly focuses on its core business in the PRC, the A Share Offering will enhance the Company’s corporate image and the brand name, especially in the construction industry in the PRC. Through a domestic issuance of A Shares and listing and the realization of the listing statuses in both the PRC and Hong Kong markets, the reputation and influence of the Company would be further enhanced. In addition, potential expanded coverage and continuous reports of the Company as a dual-listed company by the press, the investment community in the PRC and social media will further enhance the Company’s brand image and strength as well as its reputation and influence. The A Share Offering is expected to further widen the Company’s funding channels, increase the Company’s working capital and achieve stronger recognition of the capital markets by attracting large institutional as well as medium and small investors in the PRC. The Directors also believe that the A Share Offering will be beneficial to the Company’s business growth, financing flexibility and business development. It will also enable the Company to seize the opportunities in China’s developing capital market and obtain more financial resources and improve the competitiveness of the Company, which would be beneficial to the long term development of the Company. In addition, the A Share Offering will provide the Company with financial resources for the specific needs as stipulated in the paragraph 2 above.

Furthermore, the PRC securities regulatory authorities are promoting reform on the share offering registration system to increase the marketisation and financing efficiency of the securities market.

VI. CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS AND REVISION OF THE ANNUAL CAPS

References are made to the Prospectus in relation to the continuing connected transactions under the 2015 Master Agreement with Jujiang Holdings. As the 2015 Master Agreement will be expired on 31 December 2016, and the Board expects that mainly because Jujiang Holdings has engaged the Group to provide construction contracting services for certain new projects, the Existing Annual Cap will no longer be sufficient, and therefore the Board has proposed to revise the Existing Annual Cap, and on 25 August 2016 (after trading hours), the Company and Jujiang Holdings entered into the 2016 Master Agreement for a term from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2018.

2016 Master Agreement

Date

25 August 2016 (after trading hours)

Parties

The Group (as service provider) and Jujiang Holdings

Subject matter

The Company and Jujiang Holdings entered into the 2016 Master Agreement for a term from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2018, subject to the Shareholders’ approval. Save as amended by the 2016 Master Agreement, all other terms of the 2015 Master Agreement (as disclosed below) shall remain unchanged.

Services

Pursuant to the 2016 Master Agreement, Jujiang Holdings agreed to engage the Group to provide construction contracting services such as building construction, foundation work, curtain wall construction, building decoration and fire equipment installation to Jujiang Holdings Group.

Pricing policy

The Group and Jujiang Holdings agreed that the transactions to be contemplated under the 2016 Master Agreement shall be conducted on normal commercial terms, in particular:

  • 18 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (a) on terms no less favourable to the Group than terms available to or from (as appropriate) Independent Third Parties;

  • (b) in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and conducted after arm’s length negotiations; and

  • (c) will not exceed the annual caps.

The construction contracting service fees payable by Jujiang Holdings to the Group under the 2016 Master Agreement will be determined after arm’s length negotiation between Jujiang Holdings and the Group. In order to ensure that the service fees the Group received for our provision of construction contracting services are fair and reasonable and in line with market practices, we will keep ourselves abreast of the prevailing fee level in market and the market conditions. In general, the Company will compare the services fees of the construction projects which the Group would charge Jujiang Holdings Group with at least 3 comparable constructions projects within 2 years which the Group would charge Independent Third Parties, subject to the nature of those construction contracting services. Further, before we provide any construction contracting service, we will also refer to the historical fees received from third-party customers for providing similar construction contracting services.

The Group generally provides a price quote during the bidding process or engages in price negotiations with their customers. The price quote is determined primarily based on a number of factors, including the availability and costs of raw materials and equipment and machinery, subcontracting costs, project schedule, labor costs, geographical location, environmental condition of the project site, as well as the complexity and scale of the construction project. The Group may negotiate construction contracting contracts on a fixed-price or variable-price basis.

The Group has adopted a set of written policies in relation to the standard pricing strategy for the construction services which is applicable to all customers (including Jujiang Holdings Group). For the fixed-price contracts, the Group will first ascertain from its suppliers and sub-contractors the prime cost of materials and labour for providing similar construction services and for undertaking similar projects, and then add in a certain percentage markup, which will be determined by the Group on a case by case basis and with reference to historical transactions of a similar scale and nature and the indicative percentage markup which are made available to the public by the relevant government authorities through various official government websites and publications from time to time. For variable-price contracts, the Group’s fees are determined by a unit price and the total volume of actual work performed. The unit price maybe fixed or may reference a governmentpublished price. It can ensure that the price is fair and reasonable and comparable to the price charged by the Group in similar transactions involving Independent Third Parties. The Company is of the view that as it is generally the market practice that determination of percentage markup under fixed-price contracts and unit price under variable-price contracts are mostly based on the indicative figures set down by relevant government authorities, therefore following such indicative figures in determining the service fee would be in line with market practice and the prevailing market price.

Depending on the monetary amount involved, the proposed price will then be reviewed and approved by managers of the Company or the management to ensure that the proposed price is set in accordance with the Group’s pricing strategy before submitting the bid to the potential customer for their consideration. Other payment terms are determined with reference to market practices.

  • 19 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Further, the Group’s the officer responsible for the internal audit function and understand that they perform review and conduct sample checking on the continuing connected transactions on monthly basis to ensure that the pricing of the continuing connected transactions under the 2015 Master Agreement and the 2016 Master Agreement adhere to the aforesaid pricing mechanism and approval procedures and is comparable to the prices charged by the Group in similar transactions involving Independent Third Parties, and the terms are no less favourable to the Group than those offered by the Group to other independent third parties in similar transactions.

Historical Figures

For the years ended 31 December 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, the aggregate service fees paid by Jujiang Holdings Group for the construction contracting services provided by the Group were approximately RMB274.6 million, RMB498.3 million, RMB367.7 million and RMB392.3 million, respectively. During the six months ended 30 June 2016, a total service fees of approximately RMB131.1 million respectively were received from Jujiang Holdings under the 2015 Master Agreement. As at 30 September 2016, a total service fees of approximately RMB168.83 million were received from Jujiang Holdings under the 2015 Master Agreement, which has not exceeded the Existing Annual Cap. The Directors confirm that, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Existing Annual Cap has not been exceeded.

Revised Annual Caps

The Existing Annual Cap amounts of the construction contracting services fees to be payable to the Group for the construction contracting services under the 2015 Master Agreement for the two years ending 31 December 2016 are RMB511.7 million and RMB180.2 million respectively.

The difference of the historical construction contracting service fees paid by Jujiang Holdings Group and the annual cap for the year ended 31 December 2015 under the 2015 Master Agreement was mainly due to delay of progress of certain Existing Projects amounted to approximately RMB163.2 million, represented approximately 31.9% of the Existing Annual Caps for the year ended 31 December 2015, according to the discretion of Jujiang Holdings Group. Such decrease was mitigated by few projects which (i) the progress was quicker than expected; or (ii) were unexpected when estimating the cap for the year ended 31 December 2015 under the 2015 Master Agreement. As a result of such delay, contract sum of approximately RMB83.8 million pursuant to the Existing Projects under the cap for the year ending 31 December 2016 under the 2015 Master Agreement will be postponed accordingly. Such amount was mitigated by approximately RMB34.7 million because (i) two new projects which were unexpected when estimating the annual cap for the year ended 31 December 2016 under the 2015 Master Agreement; and (ii) two of the Existing Projects which the progress was quicker than expected.

The Company has decided to increase the annual cap for the transactions contemplated for the year ending 31 December 2016 to RMB321 million and estimates that the annual transaction amounts under the 2016 Master Agreement for the years ending 31 December 2017 and 2018 will not exceed the annual caps of RMB325 million and RMB318 million respectively.

Basis of the Revised Annual Caps

When determining the above Revised Annual Caps, the Board has considered: (i) the historical amount paid by the Jujiang Holdings Group to the Group for the four years ended 31

  • 20 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

December 2015 and for the period from 1 January 2016 to 30 June 2016; (ii) the contract sum and the anticipated receivable amount under the respective signed construction services agreement with Jujiang Holdings Group in respect of the construction projects under the 2015 Master Agreement; (iii) the anticipated progress and stage of completion of the construction projects; and (iv) our anticipated gross floor area and the average construction fee per square meter of construction projects requiring our provision of construction contracting services for the three years ending 31 December 2018.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • Representing the new projects which Jujiang Holdings did not award such projects to the Group when the Group estimated the Existing Annual Caps.

  • Translations of the Chinese name of the projects are for identification purpose only.

The aggregate amount of the product of the corresponding anticipated gross floor area and average construction fee per square meter for each of the years ending 31 December 2016, 2017 and 2018 amounts to approximately RMB321 million, RMB325 million and RMB318 respectively.

Conditions

The 2016 Master Agreement is conditional upon the resolution regarding the 2016 Master Agreement (including the annual caps) and the transactions contemplated thereunder being approved by the Independent Shareholders at the EGM.

Reasons for 2016 Master Agreement and the revision of the Existing Annual Cap

The increase in annual cap for the three years ending 31 December 2018 is mainly because Jujiang Holdings has engaged the Group to provide construction contracting services for 5 new projects and such new projects were not awarded to the Group when the Group estimated the Existing Annual Caps. Taking into account that the Group has already provided construction contracting services to Jujiang Holdings in the past and that provision of such services has offered stable and considerable profits to the Group historically, our Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors, whose opinion will be set out in the circular of the EGM) consider that it is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to continue our relationship with Jujiang Holdings and to provide construction contracting services to Jujiang Holdings by entering into the 2016 Master Agreement and revising the Existing Annual Cap.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As Jujiang Holdings is one of the controlling shareholders and a connected person of the Company, the transactions contemplated under the 2016 Master Agreement between Jujiang Holdings and the Group will constitute continuing connected transactions for the Group under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

As each of Mr. Lv Yaoneng, Mr. Lv Dazhong, Mr. Li Jinyan and Mr. Lu Zhicheng, being both Directors of the Company and shareholders of Jujiang Holdings, has material interests in the transactions contemplated under the 2016 Master Agreement, they have abstained from voting on the Board resolutions approving the 2016 Master Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Jujiang Holdings, being the controlling shareholder of the Company and one of the parties to the 2016 Master Agreement, has material interests in the 2016 Master Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including the Revised Annual Caps. Jujiang Holdings and its associates shall, therefore, abstain from voting on the resolution in relation to the entering into of the 2016 Master Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including the Revised Annual Caps at the EGM. Save as disclosed above, to the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors and having made reasonable enquiries, no other Shareholder is involved in or interested in the 2016 Master Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including the Revised Annual Caps who is required to abstain from voting on the relevant resolutions to approve the same at the EGM.

Listing Rules Implication

The transactions contemplated under the 2016 Master Agreement constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

As the actual transaction amounts under the 2016 Master Agreement would be subject to the actual progress of the construction projects thereunder, and other factors which are beyond control of the management of the Group, it is possible that the Company may sign new construction contracts after the 2016 Master Agreement, the Revised Annual Caps and the transactions contemplated thereunder are approved by the Independent Shareholders at the EGM, in which case the Company shall ensure compliance with the announcement, circular and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements if required under the Listing Rules.

An Independent Financial Adviser has been appointed to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Board Committee comprising all independent non-executive Directors has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders, in respect of the 2016 Master Agreement and the Revised Annual Caps.

To the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders

Dear Sirs or Madams,

CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS AND REVISION OF ANNUAL CAPS

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the terms of the 2016 Master Agreement (including the Revised Annual Caps), details of which are set out in the “Letter from the Board” (the “ Letter ”) contained in the circular issued by the Company dated 7 November 2016 (the “ Circular ”), of which this letter forms part. Terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as defined in the Circular unless the context otherwise requires.

Reference is made to the Prospectus in relation to the construction contracting services provided by the Group to Jujiang Holdings Group under the 2015 Master Agreement entered into between the Group and Jujiang Holdings. Given that the 2015 Master Agreement will expire on 31 December 2016, and the Board expects that the Existing Annual Cap will no longer be sufficient, and therefore the Board proposed to revise the Existing Annual Cap, and on 25 August 2016 (after trading hours), the Group and Jujiang Holdings entered into the 2016 Master Agreement to extend the terms of the 2015 Master Agreement.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company is owned as to approximately 38.25% by Jujiang Holdings and Jujiang Holdings is owned as to approximately 51.33% by Mr. Lv Yaoneng and approximately 48.67% by eight other individual shareholders. As Jujiang Holdings is one of the controlling shareholders and a connected person of the Company, the transactions contemplated under the 2016 Master Agreement between Jujiang Holdings Group and the Group will constitute continuing connected transactions for the Group under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

  • 28 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Company intends to increase the annual cap for the transactions contemplated for the year ending 31 December 2016 under the 2016 Master Agreement. As the proposed annual caps in respect of the 2016 Master Agreement for each of the three years ending 31 December 2018 is more than HK$10,000,000, and at least one of the applicable ratios calculated thereof is more than 5%, the transactions contemplated under the 2016 Master Agreement and the respective proposed annual caps are subject to the reporting, announcement, annual review and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Any Shareholder with a material interest in the transaction and its associates should abstain from voting at the relevant resolutions approving the 2016 Master Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. As each of Mr. Lv Yaoneng, Mr. Lv Dazhong, Mr. Li Jinyan and Mr. Lu Zhicheng, being both Directors and shareholders of Jujiang Holdings, has material interests in the transactions contemplated under the 2016 Master Agreement, they have abstained from voting on the Board resolutions approving the 2016 Master Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. Jujiang Holdings, being the controlling shareholder of the Company and one of the parties to the 2016 Master Agreement, has material interests in the 2016 Master Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including the Revised Annual Caps. Jujiang Holdings and its associates shall, therefore, abstain from voting on the resolution in relation to the entering into of the 2016 Master Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including the Revised Annual Caps at the EGM. Save as disclosed above, to the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors and having made reasonable enquiries, no other Shareholder is involved in or interested in the 2016 Master Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including the Revised Annual Caps who is required to abstain from voting on the relevant resolutions to approve the same at the EGM.

The Independent Board Committee, comprising all the independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Xu Guoqiang, Mr. Lin Tao and Mr. Wong Ka Wai, has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether the terms of the 2016 Master Agreement and the Revised Annual Caps are fair and reasonable so far as the Company and Independent Shareholders are concerned and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether to vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the EGM to approve the 2016 Master Agreement and the Revised Annual Caps. As the independent financial adviser, our role is to give an independent opinion to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in such regard.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Lego Corporate Finance did not have any relationships or interests with the Company or any other parties that could reasonably be regarded as relevant to the independence of Lego Corporate Finance. In the last two years, there was no engagement between the Group and Lego Corporate Finance. Apart from normal professional fees paid or payable to us in connection with this appointment as the independent financial adviser, no arrangement exist whereby we had received or will receive any fees or benefits from the Company or any other party to the transactions. Accordingly, we are qualified to give independent advice in respect of the 2016 Master Agreement and the Revised Annual Caps and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our recommendation, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons:

1. Information on the Group

The Company has been listed on the Stock Exchange on 12 January 2016 (the “ Listing ”). The principal businesses of the Group include (i) construction contracting business, being the core business of the Group, which involves the provision of construction contracting mainly as a general contractor for residential construction projects, commercial construction projects, industrial construction projects and public works construction projects; and (ii) other businesses, namely, design, survey and consultancy business and civil defense products manufacturing business. According to the Prospectus, the Group generated revenue mainly from construction projects located in Zhejiang Province, most of which were located in Jiaxing. As disclosed in the Prospectus, revenue generated from the projects in Jiaxing amounted to approximately RMB2,026.4 million, RMB2,582.2 million, RMB2,644.0 million and RMB1,177.2 million for the years ended 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014, and the six months ended 30 June 2015, respectively, accounting

for approximately 62.0%, 63.4%, 61.6% and 55.0% of the total revenue of the Group for respective years/period, respectively.

The following table is a summary of the audited financial information of the Group for the financial years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015, as extracted from the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2015 (the “ 2015 Annual Report ”) and the unaudited financial information of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016, as extracted from the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2016 (the “ 2016 Interim Report ”).

As illustrated in the table above, revenue of the Group amounted to approximately RMB4,424.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2015, representing an increase of approximately 3.2% as compared to that of approximately RMB4,289.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2014. According to the 2015 Annual Report, such increase was mainly a result of the increase in number of commercial construction projects, which was in line with the increased urbanisation in the PRC and the introduction of favorable policies by the government of the PRC to encourage investments in such construction projects. In addition, the profit for the year increased by approximately 19.0% from approximately RMB82.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 to approximately RMB98.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2015, mainly due to (i) the increase in revenue and gross profit; and (ii) the turnaround from other expenses in the year ended 31 December 2014 to other income in the year ended 31 December 2015, primarily as a result of a reversal of provision made for impairment for other receivables for the year ended 31 December 2015 as a provision for impairment for other receivables was made for the year ended 31 December 2014, which was offsetting by the increase in expenses incurred for the Listing.

  • 31 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

According to the 2016 Interim Report, revenue of the Group amounted to approximately RMB1,999.1 million for the six months ended 30 June 2016, representing a decrease of approximately 6.6% as compared to that of approximately RMB2,139.8 million for the six months ended 30 June 2015. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in revenue from commercial construction projects as a result of completion of some major projects in 2015, partially offset by an increase in revenue from residential construction projects as a result of recovery of the residential real estate market for the six months ended 30 June 2016. Although the Group recorded a decrease in revenue, the Group managed to record higher gross profit by 7.3% from approximately RMB110.1 million for the six months ended 30 June 2015 to approximately RMB118.2 million for the six months ended 30 June 2016. According to the 2016 Interim Report, such increase was attributable to the increase in gross profit margin from 5.1% to 5.9% respectively, as a result of the improvement of gross profit margin of certain new projects as the Group obtained the premium class certificate for general building construction contracting work. The profit amounted to approximately RMB48.0 million for the six months ended 30 June 2016, representing an increase of approximately 5.4% as compared to that for the six months ended 30 June 2015 of approximately RMB45.5 million. Such increase was mainly due to (i) the increase in gross profit; and (ii) the increase in other income and gains primarily because (a) the Group received one-off government grants for the six months ended 30 June 2016 due to the Listing; and (b) the dividend income from an available-for-sale investment.

2. Background of the 2016 Master Agreement and reasons and benefits for the continuing connected transaction

As confirmed by the management of the Company, Jujiang Holdings is the shareholder of various subsidiaries (including the Company) and Jujiang Holdings Group mainly engages property development and investment holding with nearly 3,000 staff. The total revenue of Jujiang Holdings Group for the year ended 31 December 2015 amounted to approximately RMB4.7 billion and the total assets of Jujiang Holdings Group as at 31 December 2015 amounted to approximately RMB6.2 billion.

According to the Prospectus, Jujiang Holdings Group were grouped as one of the top five customers of the Group for the years ended 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014, and as advised by the management of the Company, Jujiang Holdings Group continued to be one of the top five customers of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2015 and the six months ended 30 June 2016 and the revenue generated from transactions with Jujiang Holdings Group for the years ended 31 December 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and for the six months ended 30 June 2016 represented approximately 8.4%, 12.2%, 8.6%, 8.9% and 6.6% of the Group’s total revenue for the respective years/period, respectively.

As represented by the Company, because Jujiang Holdings has engaged the Group to provide construction contracting services, which include building construction, foundation work, curtain wall construction, building decoration and fire equipment installation, for certain new projects and based on the long-term relationship between Jujiang Holdings Group and the Group, thereby leading to an increase in demand from Jujiang Holdings Group in respect of the construction contracting services from the Group, the Board expects the annual transactions amount under the 2015 Master Agreement for the year ending 31 December 2016 is expected to exceed the Existing Annual Caps

  • 32 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

as disclosed in the Prospectus. As such, the Company intends to revise the Existing Annual Caps for the year ending 31 December 2016 under the 2015 Master Agreement in respect of the construction contracting services by the Group to Jujiang Holdings Group.

The Board believes that the construction contracting services provided to Jujiang Holdings Group is important to the business of the Group with reference to the past and continuing business relationship which most of the projects with Jujiang Holdings Group offered considerable gross profits to the Group historically and the Group foresees stable revenue will be generated from transactions with Jujiang Holdings Group under the 2016 Master Agreement. We have obtained and reviewed the revenue and cost analysis in relation to the profitability of the construction contracting services on projects provided to Jujiang Holdings Group by the Group for the three years ended 31 December 2015, of which almost all of such projects were profitable. In order to assess the accuracy of the revenue and cost analysis, we have also obtained the breakdown and calculation of revenue and cost of three projects for the three years ended 31 December 2015 and have checked the supporting documents including the certificates issued by the surveyors for percentage of completion of the projects and the detailed cost summary of the projects with satisfactory result. In light of the principal activities of the Group, we consider that the entering into of the 2016 Master Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group.

According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the total nominal output value of construction industry in the PRC (which represents the total amount of pecuniary investment by project owners in a construction project (excluding land price)) increased from approximately RMB9,603.1 billion for the year ended 31 December 2010 to approximately RMB18,075.8 billion for the year ended 31 December 2015, representing a compound annual growth rate (“ CAGR ”) of approximately 13.5%. In addition, the Group generated revenue mainly from construction projects located in Zhejiang Province, most of which were located in Jiaxing. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the fixed asset investment of Zhejiang Province increased from approximately RMB843.8 billion for the year ended 31 December 2010 to approximately RMB2,666.5 billion for the year ended 31 December 2015, representing a CAGR of approximately 25.9% and the real estate investment of Zhejiang Province increased from approximately RMB302.5 billion for the year ended 31 December 2010 to approximately RMB711.2 billion for the year ended 31 December 2015, representing a CAGR of approximately 15.3%. In view of the historical growth, the Directors considered that the demand for the construction in the PRC, especially in Zhejiang Province, will continue to grow.

Moreover, the government of the PRC announced the Belt and Road Initiative* (一帶一路) in 2015 and the purpose of it is to integrate countries in Europe and Asia and develop closer regional ties through building infrastructure and broadening trade. As the government of the PRC and various financial institutions devote increased funding to this initiative, it is expected to see more infrastructure development projects being announced in the coming years and thus on one hand will boost up the urbanisation of lower tier cities in the PRC and on the other hand will accelerate the development of nearby commercial and residential construction projects. As mentioned in the 2015 Annual Report and the Prospectus, an increasing number of infrastructure projects in the PRC are

  • 33 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

expected to be completed on a build-transfer or public-private partnership basis in the coming years. As such, the Group intends to develop business opportunities to undertake more projects on a buildtransfer or public-private partnership basis in the future in order to capture the market opportunity.

In light of (i) the revenue contribution from Jujiang Holdings Group; and (ii) the expected increase in demand for construction contracting service as driven by the favourable policies and macro economy, we consider that the entering into of the 2016 Master Agreement is reasonable and in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

3. Major terms of the 2016 Master Agreement

The Group and Jujiang Holdings agreed that the transactions to be contemplated under the 2016 Master Agreement shall be conducted on normal commercial terms, in particular (a) on terms no less favourable to the Group than terms available to or from (as appropriate) Independent Third Parties; (b) in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and conducted after arm’s length negotiations; and (c) will not exceed the annual caps.

Given the principal terms of the 2016 Master Agreement follows those of the 2015 Master Agreement and the pricing mechanism applied for transactions under the 2015 Master Agreement will be consistently applied to the transactions under the 2016 Master Agreement, in order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the service prices and terms of the construction contracting services supplied by the Group to Jujiang Holdings Group under the 2016 Master Agreement, we have obtained and reviewed two sets of samples of construction service agreements entered into between the Group and Jujiang Holdings Group and two sets of samples of construction service agreements entered into between the Group and the Independent Third Parties for each of the three years ended 31 December 2015 and the six months ended 30 June 2016. Those projects contemplated under the construction service agreements entered into between the Group and the Independent Third Parties are comparable and/or justifiable to the projects contemplated under the construction service agreements entered into between the Group and Jujiang Holdings Group in terms of the geographical locations, types and natures of constructions projects (i.e. residential or commercial etc) and/or construction costs. Based on our review of those samples of construction service agreements, we noted that the terms and the prices of the construction contracting services supplied by the Group to Jujiang Holdings Group under the 2015 Master Agreement are no less favorable than those supplied to the Independent Third Parties.

We have discussed with the management of the Group and understand that the Group generally provide a price quote during the bidding process or engage in price negotiations with their customers. Their price quote is determined primarily based on a number of factors, including the availability and costs of raw materials and equipment and machinery, subcontracting costs, project schedule, labor costs, geographical location, environmental condition of the project site, as well as the complexity and scale of the construction project. The Group may negotiate construction contracting contracts on a fixed-price or variable-price basis.

  • 34 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

We have reviewed the pricing policy adopted by the Group for the construction services which is applicable to all customers (including Jujiang Holdings Group). For the fixed-price contracts, the Group will first ascertain from its suppliers and sub-contractors the prime cost of materials and labour for providing similar construction services and for undertaking similar projects, and then add in a certain percentage markup as stipulated in the pricing policy, which will be determined by the Group on a case by case basis and with reference to historical transactions of a similar scale and nature and the indicative percentage markup which are made available to the public by the relevant government authorities through various official government websites and publications from time to time. For variable-price contracts, the Group’s fees are determined by a unit price and the total volume of actual work performed. The unit price maybe fixed or may reference a government-published price. It can ensure that the price is fair and reasonable and comparable to the price charged by the Group in similar transactions involving Independent Third Parties. Based on the two sets of samples of construction service agreements entered into between the Group and Jujiang Holdings Group and two sets of samples of construction service agreements entered into between the Group and the Independent Third Parties for each of the three years ended 31 December 2015 and the six months ended 30 June 2016 we have reviewed, the pricing of those transactions contemplated thereunder followed and were consistent with the said pricing policy.

We are also informed that Jujiang Holdings Group will also compare the quotation with those from other independent contractors in deciding whether to engage the Group to provide the construction services for a particular project.

The price quote of projects of the Group are handled and managed by a professional team which consisted of 17 personnel as at the Latest Practicable Date, who have three to over twenty years of experience in construction industry and pricing of construction projects, in accordance with the pricing policy adopted by the Group. As represented by the Company, each of the pricing personnel possesses the qualification of National Certification of Construction Cost Estimator (全國 建設工程造價資格). For projects with proposed prices which exceed RMB0.2 million, the proposed prices will then be reviewed and approved by managers of the Company or the management to ensure that the proposed price is set in accordance with the Group’s pricing strategy before submitting the bid to the potential customer for their consideration. Other payment terms are determined with reference to market practices.

We have discussed with the Group’s officer responsible for the internal audit function and understand that they perform review and conduct sample checking on the continuing connected transactions on a monthly basis to ensure that the pricing of the continuing connected transactions under the 2015 Master Agreement and the 2016 Master Agreement adhere to the aforesaid pricing mechanism and approval procedures and is comparable to the prices charged by the Group in similar transactions involving Independent Third Parties, and the terms are no less favourable to the Group than those offered by the Group to other independent third parties in similar transactions.

Given that (i) the price of the construction services offered to Jujiang Holdings Group will be determined with reference to the prevailing market prices and the construction services under the 2016 Master Agreement will be in line with the market practice, as well as (where applicable) prevailing market prices of similar services which may be supplied to other Independent Third

  • 35 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Parties by the Group; and (ii) the principal terms of the 2016 Master Agreement follows those of the 2015 Master Agreement and the pricing mechanism applied for transactions under the 2015 Master Agreement will be consistently applied to the transactions under the 2016 Master Agreement, we consider the pricing mechanism of the 2016 Master Agreement to be fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

Payment term

As confirmed by the management of the Group, normally Jujiang Holdings Group shall settle the consideration on a stage of completion basis, with a credit term of normally no more than one week, with the last 5% of the consideration will be paid after two years of the completion of the projects as maintenance fund.

As disclosed in the Prospectus and advised by the management of the Company, in general, the Group grant credit terms of one to three months to repeated customers, as such the credit terms under the 2016 Master Agreement are no less than favourable than those offered to the Independent Third Parties. Based on the two sets of samples construction service agreements entered into between the Group and Jujiang Holdings Group and the two sets of samples construction service agreements entered into between the Group and the Independent Third Parties for each of the three years ended 31 December 2015 and the six months ended 30 June 2016 reviewed, we are of the view that the credit terms under the construction service agreements entered into between the Group and Jujiang Holdings Group are no less than favourable than those offered to the Group than those offered by the Group to Independent Third Parties and are on normal commercial terms.

Other major terms

Pursuant to the 2016 Master Agreement, the Group and Jujiang Holdings Group may, at any time during the contract term, terminate the 2016 Master Agreement with immediate effect by mutual agreement. We have also reviewed other major terms of the 2016 Master Agreement and are not aware of any terms which are exceptional to normal market practice.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Directors confirm that the value of the construction contract is generally positively correlated to the gross floor area of the construction projects requiring provision of construction contracting services by the Group. The construction contracting services fee paid by Jujiang Holdings Group generally followed an upward trend from the year ended 31 December 2012 and the year ended 31 December 2015 and at peak for the year ended 31 December 2013 for approximately RMB498.3 million and the average construction contracting services fee paid by Jujiang Holdings Group to the Group for the four years ended 31 December 2015 amounted to approximately RMB383.2 million (the “ Average Amount ”). Having considered that the Average Amount is higher than the cap of each year of the three years ending 31 December 2018 under the 2016 Master Agreement, we consider that the Revised Annual Caps are not excessive.

The fluctuation of construction contracting services fee for the four years ended 31 December 2015 was generally consistent with the gross floor area of the construction projects requiring provision of construction contracting services by the Group as stipulated in the section headed “Connected Transactions” of the Prospectus (the “ Existing Projects ”).

It is noted that the historical construction contracting services fee paid by Jujiang Holdings Group to the Group in respect of the construction contracting services provided by the Group during the year ended 31 December 2015 represented approximately 76.7% of the cap for the year ended 31 December 2015 under the 2015 Master Agreement. As disclosed in the Prospectus, the difference between the historical figures and the Existing Annual Caps is mainly because of the difference of the gross floor area of the construction projects requiring the Group’s provision of construction contracting services which is determined by reference to the anticipated progress of the existing construction contracts signed by the Company with Jujiang Holdings. As confirmed by the management of the Company, the difference of the historical construction contracting service fee paid by Jujiang Holdings Group and the cap for the year ended 31 December 2015 under the 2015 Master Agreement was mainly due to delay of progress of certain Existing Projects amounted to approximately RMB163.2 million, represented approximately 31.9% of the Existing Annual Caps for the year ended 31 December 2015, according to the discretion of Jujiang Holdings Group. Such decrease was mitigated by few projects which (i) the progress was quicker than expected; or (ii) were unexpected when estimating the cap for the year ended 31 December 2015 under the 2015 Master Agreement. As a result of such delay, contract sum of approximately RMB83.8 million pursuant to the Existing Projects under the cap for the year ending 31 December 2016 under the 2015 Master Agreement will be postponed accordingly. Such amount was mitigated by approximately RMB34.7 million because (i) two new projects which were unexpected when estimating the cap for the year ended 31 December 2016 under the 2015 Master Agreement; and (ii) two of the Existing Projects which the progress was quicker than expected.

Based on the estimation of the Company, the anticipated receivable amount under the Existing Projects accounted for approximately 59.4%, 23.2% and 10.2% of the Revised Annual Caps for the year ending 31 December 2016, 2017 and 2018 respectively.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As disclosed in the Letter, Jujiang Holdings has engaged the Group to provide construction contracting services for certain new projects. According to the management of the Group, such new projects comprised of 5 projects (the “ New Projects ”) which Jujiang Holdings did not award such projects to the Group when the Group estimated the Existing Annual Caps and thus the anticipated receivable amount under the New Projects accounted for approximately 40.6%, 76.8% and 89.8% of the Revised Annual Caps for the years ending 31 December 2016, 2017 and 2018. The Directors confirmed that all of the Existing Projects and the New Projects are supported by the signed construction services agreement with the Jujiang Holdings Group.

As advised by the management of the Company, all of the 5 New Projects, would commence construction work in the six months ending 31 December 2016 and three of the New Projects are expected to be completed after three years from the commencement.

We have reviewed the calculation of and discussed with the management of the basis of the estimation of the Revised Annual Caps. The Revised Annual Caps were determined based on (a) the contract sum and the anticipated receivable amount under the respective signed construction services agreement with the Jujiang Holdings Group in respect of the construction projects under the 2015 Master Agreement; (b) the anticipated gross floor area and the average construction fee per square meter which was calculated by the contract sum divided by respective total gross floor area of the construction projects in square meters; and (c) the anticipated progress and stage of completion of each projects under the 2016 Master Agreement for the three years ending 31 December 2018. The Directors confirmed that the estimated progress and stage of completion are based on the discussion with and the information provided by the management of Jujiang Holdings Group with reference to their past experience for similar project and the current construction plan. We have checked the contract sum and construction area of certain samples of the signed construction services agreement of the Existing Projects and the New Projects with such information contained in the calculation prepared by the management of the Company with satisfactory result.

Due to the fortuity and volatility of construction projects and for prudence sake, the Directors consider that it is fair and reasonable to determine the Revised Annual Caps based on the Existing Projects and the New Projects only and not take into account of any potential new projects (other than the Existing Projects and the New Projects) which were not identified by the parties to the 2016 Master Agreement and we concur with such view because the potential new projects are undetermined and unforeseeable when the Company and Jujiang Holdings determined the Revised Annual Caps. In the event that the Revised Annual Caps might not be sufficient to cover the transactions between the Group and Jujiang Holdings Group under the 2016 Master Agreement, the parties to the 2016 Master Agreement will consider to revise the Revised Annual Caps accordingly and will comply with the relevant requirements under the Listing Rules, among others, seeking for independent shareholders’ approval if applicable.

Having considered that (i) the historical transaction amount with Jujiang Holdings Group; (ii) the Revised Annual Caps were estimated based on the contract sum and the average construction fee per square meter with reference to the respective signed construction services agreements with the Jujiang Holdings Group; and (iii) given the Revised Annual Caps have not taken into account of any potential new projects (other than the Existing Projects and the New Projects) which may be awarded by Jujiang Holdings Group to the Group from time to time during the three years ending 31 December 2018 (if any), we consider that the Revised Annual Caps are reasonable.

  • 39 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As the Revised Annual Caps relate to future events and are based upon assumptions that may or may not remain valid for the three years ending 31 December 2018 and the actual transaction amounts would be subject to the actual progress of the Existing Projects and the New Projects, and other factors which are beyond control of the management of the Group, we express no opinion as to how closely the actual transaction amounts to be generated under the transactions corresponding with the Revised Annuals Caps.

5. Annual review of the continuing connected transactions

Pursuant to Rules 14A.55 and 14A.56 of the Listing Rules, the transactions contemplated under the 2016 Master Agreement are subject to the following requirements:

  • (i) the independent non-executive Directors must review the continuing connected transactions every year and confirm in the annual reports that the continuing connected transactions have been entered into:

  • in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group;

  • on normal commercial terms or better; and

  • according to the agreement governing them on terms that are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole;

  • (ii) the Company must engage its auditors to report on the continuing connected transactions for each financial year of the Company and that the Company’s auditors must provide a letter to the Board confirming whether anything has come to their attention that causes them to believe that the continuing connected transactions:

  • have not been approved by the Board;

  • were not, in all material respects, in accordance with the pricing policy of the Group if the transactions involve the provision of goods or services by the Group;

  • were not entered into, in all material respects, in accordance with the relevant agreement governing the transactions; and

  • have exceeded the annual caps.

In view of the continuing connected transactions under the 2016 Master Agreement will be subject to annual review of the independent non-executive Directors and the auditors of the Company, we are of the view that appropriate measures will be in place to govern the conduct of the continuing connected transactions under the 2016 Master Agreement and safeguard the interests of the Independent Shareholders.
