PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE EGM
In view of the ongoing spread of COVID-19 pandemic and recent requirements for prevention and control of its spread, the Company will implement the following preventive measures at the EGM to protect attending Shareholders, staff and other stakeholders from the risk of infection:
-
(i) compulsory body temperature checks will be conducted on every Shareholder, proxy and other attendees at the entrance of the EGM venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.4 degrees Celsius may be denied entry into the EGM venue or be required to leave the EGM venue;
-
(ii) all Shareholders, proxies and other attendees are required to complete and submit at the entrance of the EGM venue a declaration form confirming their names and contact details, and confirming that they have not travelled to, or to their best of knowledge had physical contact with any person who has recently travelled to, any affected countries or areas outside of Hong Kong (as per guidelines issued by the Hong Kong government at www.chp.gov.hk/ en/features/102742.html) at any time in the preceding 14 days. Any person who does not comply with this requirement may be denied entry into the EGM venue or be required to leave the EGM venue;
-
(iii) the Company encourages attendees to wear surgical face masks inside the EGM venue at all times, and to maintain a safe distance between seats; and
-
(iv) no refreshments will be served, and there will be no corporate gifts.
To the extent permitted under law, the Company reserves the right to deny entry into the EGM venue or require any person to leave the EGM venue in order to ensure the safety of the attendees at the EGM.
The Company reminds all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the EGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights in the Company. As an alternative, by using proxy forms with voting instructions inserted, Shareholders may appoint the chairman of the EGM as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolutions at the EGM instead of attending the EGM in person.
The proxy form is attached to this circular for Shareholders who opt to receive physical circulars. Alternatively, the proxy form can be downloaded from the website of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited, at www.hkexnews.hk and the website of the Company at http://kingwell.todayir.com respectively.

Reference is made to the Announcement in relation to the Acquisition.
On 14 August 2020, (after trading hours), the Purchaser, an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Sale and Purchase Agreement (as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Sale and Purchase Agreement dated 4 January 2021) with the Vendor, pursuant to which the Purchaser conditionally agreed to purchase, and the Vendor conditionally agreed to sell, the Property at the Consideration of RMB40,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$44,400,000).
As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in Rule14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Acquisition exceed 25% but is less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction for the Company and is therefore subject to the announcement, reporting and Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITION ON THE GROUP
Based on the ‘‘Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Group’’ as set out in Appendix II to this circular, the unaudited pro forma consolidated total assets of the Group as at 30 June 2020 would be approximately RMB200.57 million and the unaudited pro forma consolidated total liabilities of the Group as at 30 June 2020 would be approximately RMB49.70 million upon completion of the Acquisition, assuming that the Acquisition had taken place on 30 June 2020. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma consolidated net assets of the Group as at 30 June 2020 would be approximately RMB150.88 million, which remained the same as if without the Acquisition, primarily because the cash outflow of the Consideration was completely offset by the addition of the Property which was classified as inventory under the current asset of the Group based on the Consideration upon Completion.
The Group’s earnings are expected to increase as a result of the Acquisition, after taking into account the potential rental income arising from leasing the Property and/or potential sales proceeds to be derived from disposal of the Property. According to the Company’s preliminary plan, the Group intends to dispose of the Property in the coming three to five years primarily based on its conservative estimate that the future development potential of the Property, which is situated in the New District, will be further maximised around such period of time, given the development of several key infrastructure in the New District that the Directors believe will increase the future pedestrian flow and help foster economic activities in the New District, which includes, among others, (i) the construction and future extension of railway network throughout the district of Xuzhou City in accordance with the ‘‘Xuzhou City Rail Transit Phase II Construction Plan (2019-2024)’’[#] (徐州市城市軌道交通第二期建設規劃 (2019-2024)) approved by the National Development and Reform Commission of the People’s Republic of China[#] (發改委)on 20 January 2020, which will increase 11 railway transit lines in Xuzhou City in the coming 5 years, amongst which 5 of the lines will pass through the New District; (ii) the construction of Huaihai International Expo Center[#] (淮海國際博覽中心), the fourth largest convention and exhibition center in Jiangsu Province, which is situated in close proximity to the Property and consists of hotel rooms, restaurants, exhibition halls, meeting and conference rooms and other cultural and recreational facilities, is expected to be completed by 2021; and (iii) the expected construction of exhibition center, commercial building, hotel, schools and hospitals in the New District in the coming years.
In addition to the Company’s preliminary plan, following the Completion, the Company will also closely monitor and assess the property market from time to time in order to capture opportunities of leasing the Property to third parties tenants to generate rental income before disposing of the Property. As advised by the PRC Legal Adviser, completion of the Title Transfer is not a pre-requisite condition for the Purchaser to enter leasing arrangement and receive the rental income from leasing the Property under the applicable PRC laws and regulations. Given that (i) the Consideration is priced at a discount to the independent valuation of the Company; and (ii) the expected development potential of the Property as detailed above and in the below section headed ‘‘Reason for and benefits of the Acquisition’’, it is expected that the sales proceeds as a result of the disposal of the Property and/or potential rental income as a result of leasing the Property before disposal will contribute positively to the earnings of the Group.
– 11 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
In light of the fact that (i) the Group will have the absolute discretion to decide upon the usage of the Property and will receive all the economic benefits to be derived from the Property upon Completion regardless of the completion of the Title Transfer according to the irrevocable and unconditional guarantee given by the Vendor; and (ii) following the applicable accounting standard as to the accounting treatment of the Property, in particular having considered (a) the Group intends to use the Property as completed properties held for sale upon Completion; (b) the economic benefits of potential sales proceeds as a result of the disposal of the Property; and (c) the effective control over the Property, such as the supervision of maintenance work and formulation of preliminary plan of the Property, will be pertained to the Company after the Completion, the Directors are of the view that the Property will be classified as inventory in the Company’s financial statement upon Completion.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION
- (i) The Acquisition is generally in line with the procedure for pre-sale of commercial housing in the PRC
As advised by the PRC Legal Adviser, according to the relevant law and regulations in the PRC, there are four key processes from the pre-sale of commercial housing to the completion of title registration in the PRC:

According to Article 13 of the ‘‘Administrative Measures for the Online Registration and Recordation of Commercial Housing Sales Contracts in Xuzhou City’’[#] (徐州市商品房銷售合同網上登 記備案管理辦法第十三條), the Pre-Sale Contract can only be terminated upon mutual consent between the Purchaser and the Vendor before applying for Title Registration (Stage 4).
As advised by the PRC Legal Adviser, after the Filing (Stage 1) is completed, the Vendor is not allowed to sell the Property to others before the Title Registration (Stage 4) is completed in the absence of termination of the Pre-Sale Contract (whether by mutual termination or defaults by the Vendor). According to (i) Article 15 of the ‘‘Interpretation of the Supreme People’s Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in Trial of Disputes over Commercial Housing Sales Contracts’’[#] (最 高人民法院關於審理商品房買賣合同糾紛案件適用法律若干問題的解釋第十五條)which has been effective since 1 June 2003 and (ii) Article 94 of the ‘‘Contract law of the People’s Republic of ’’[#] China (中華人民共和國合同法第94條), contracts regarding sale and purchase of commercial housing is terminated when the purchaser defaults or delays in payment. The Purchaser has no intention to default in payment of the Consideration nor terminate the Sale and Purchase Agreement. In light of the fact that (i) the Vendor is under an obligation to pay the default payment of RMB5.0 million if the Completion does not occur on the Completion Date; and (ii) the Examination (Stage 2) and the Delivery (Stage 3) are expected to take place by 31 January 2021, which is close to the date of this circular; and (iii) the Company has been regularly performing on-site monitoring and maintaining close communication with the Vendor regarding the progress of the construction of the Property; the Company is of the view that it is unlikely for the Pre-Sale Contract to be terminated.
In the event that the Vendor defaults the Pre-Sale Contract and the Sale and Purchase Agreement, i.e. the Completion could not take place, the Company could (i) seek compensation from the Vendor, including the default payment of RMB5.0 million as mentioned under the section headed ‘‘The Sale and Purchase Agreement’’; and (ii) proceed to the court in the PRC to continue the Title Registration (Stage 4) for sale of the Property to the others in its own discretion. Given (i) the abundant financial resources of the Group, which is shown by its net cash balance of approximately RMB84.6 million as at 30 June 2020 as disclosed in its latest annual report that is considered to be more than enough to settle the Consideration in full; (ii) the Consideration, which is priced at a discount to the independent market valuation, is based on commercial negotiation between the Purchaser and the Vendor and such discount can only be attained if the Purchaser settles the Consideration in full upon the Delivery (Stage 3); and (iii) the Consideration is settled upon the Delivery (Stage 3) and 30% of which will be deposited into an escrow account until the completion of the Title Transfer, the Directors consider that the payment of the Consideration in full before the Title Transfer is in the interest of the Company and its shareholders.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
On the basis that (i) both the Company and the Vendor will complete the Filing (Stage 1) as soon as practicable after the Sale and Purchase Agreement is approved at the EGM; (ii) the Company can procure the Vendor to complete the Title Registration (Stage 4) in accordance with its instructions under the applicable PRC law; and (iii) the Company will closely follow the procedures for pre-sale of commercial housing in the PRC under all the applicable PRC laws and regulations which is mentioned in the above paragraphs, the Directors are of the view that the Acquisition complies with the applicable PRC laws and is in line with the procedure for pre-sale of commercial housing in the PRC.
(ii) Additional measures to safeguard and protect the Shareholders’ interest
As mentioned in the above paragraphs, the Company will use its best endeavour to procure the Vendor to complete the Title Transfer within the prescribed period. Taking into account that the completion of the Title Transfer in the PRC involves various and lengthy application, registration and approval process and the time required thereof is out of the control of the Company particularly in view of the pandemic since the beginning of year 2020, the Company is of the view that it is in the best interest of the Company that the Completion can take place without completing the Title Transfer for the purpose of expediting the Acquisition and obtaining the economic benefits to be derived from the Property right after the Completion.
Given (i) the irrevocable and unconditional guarantee given by the Vendor as detailed in the above section headed ‘‘The Sale and Purchase Agreement’’, which serves to safeguard the interest of the Company until the completion of the Title Transfer; (ii) the Group will receive all the economic benefits to be derived from the Property upon the Completion regardless of the completion of the Title Transfer according to the irrevocable and unconditional guarantee by the Vendor; (iii) the Company is entitled to receive the full Consideration together with interests accrued thereon and default payment in the event that the Company fails to complete the Title Transfer and (iv) the Amount is maintained by an independent third party bank in the PRC until the completion of the Title Transfer, which cannot be withdrawn without the consent of the Company; the Company is of the view that such arrangement is fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.
(iii) The Acquisition serves as an opportunity to expand the existing property portfolio of the Group with attractive Consideration
As disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2020, the Company will continue to implement its diversified development strategy and proactive search for potential investment opportunities. Following the acquisition of its property management business and carpark spaces in Xuzhou City of the PRC in November 2018 and March 2019 respectively, the Group would like to further expand its property related business segment in the PRC with an intention to generate a sustainable income to the Group. In this connection, the Company has been actively identifying quality properties in the PRC for acquisition to increase its property portfolio and to expand the Group’s participation in the PRC property market.
– 14 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Group is familiar with the economic development and business environment in Xuzhou City. In considering a property portfolio for its expansion, the Group generally will take into account of (i) the cost of purchase; (ii) the location, in order to assess whether the Company’s resources in that area will be complementary to the development of the property; and (iii) the future development, in order to assess whether it has an upside development potential in that area. Having taken into account, among others, (i) the Consideration, which is priced at a discount to the independent valuation of the Property; (ii) the quality and location of the Property, where is located in the same city as the existing property management business and carpark spaces of the Group; and (iii) the development potential of the Property, where is situated in the business and financial hub of the New District, the Group considers that the Property fulfills its criteria for being selected as a property portfolio for its expansion, and the entering into the Sale and Purchase Agreement serves as a good opportunity to consolidate its current property portfolio in the PRC and the Acquisition is in line with the business strategies of the Group.
The Directors further consider that if the Acquisition takes place when the Title Transfer is completed, the Consideration would have been higher which would incur additional costs to the Company and thus would not be favourable to the shareholders from commercial perspective. As such, having considered and balancing factors which primarily includes (i) the Acquisition complies with the applicable PRC laws and regulation and is generally in line with the procedure for pre-sale of commercial housing in the PRC; (ii) the Amount is maintained by an independent third party bank in the PRC until the completion of the Title Transfer, which cannot be withdrawn without the consent of the Company; (iii) the Vendor’s irrevocable and unconditional undertakings and guarantees as aforementioned; and (iv) the Consideration is priced at a discount to the independent valuation of the Property at this stage, the Directors consider that the Acquisition is beneficial to the Company and its shareholders.
On the basis of the above, the Directors are of the view that the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and are in the interests of Shareholders as a whole.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Acquisition exceed 25% but is less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction for the Company and is therefore subject to the announcement, reporting and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder or any of their respective associates have any material interest in the Acquisition. As such, no Shareholder would be required to abstain from voting on the resolution to approve, among others, the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Acquisition at the EGM.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
As for the gold mining business, since the mining area is too large and the rock composition in the northern Molchan region is complex, the Russia gold mining company planned to conduct small scale production prior to large scale exploitation, which is common for all the mining exercise. The Russia gold mining company submitted the plan of exploitation to the local government in October 2017. However, due to the increase in number of wildfire and environmental destruction incidents caused by mining activities in 2017, the Russian authority raised the environment protection requirements on exploitation applications at the beginning of 2018. As the Group signed an outsourcing contract with a third party which modified the original submitted plan, the Group was required to re-submit a new plan of exploitation which satisfies the tightened regulation. The Group has filed the reschedules in November 2018 and obtained the exploitation approval within the year of 2020. According to the new legal requirements in Russia, it is very difficult to get the working visa for the PRC workers. In this case, the outsourcing contractor had employed the local Russian workers for this project. Due to the Covid-19, the Group has changed the exploitation plan and postponed the normal production of the Russia Gold mine to protect our staff and outsourcing contractor staff. The Group expects the Russia gold mine will only maintain the minimum operation by the outsourcing contractor in 2020 and 2021. In the coming years, the Group will continue to sign the contract with the outsourcing contractor. Also, the Group will also invite and negotiate with the other outsourcing contractors. The Group would like to obtain the better terms with outsourcing contractors. Due to the Covid-19, most of the Russia workers refused to go out to do the mining work. Also, the heavy raining and flooding in the Molchan region will also affect the mining work. In this case, the Group do not expect the Russia gold mine will provide significant income in 2020 and 2021.
Due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic in January 2020, the Group will closely monitor the impact on the Group’s operations.
Following the acquisition of its property management business and carpark spaces in Xuzhou City of the PRC in November 2018 and March 2019 respectively, the Group would like to further expand its property related business segment in the PRC with the intention to generate a sustainable income to the Group. The Property, which is situated in the new business and financial hub of Xuzhou City, is considered to have development potential which serves to further consolidate the existing property portfolio of the Group in the PRC.
Looking ahead, the Group will continue to implement its diversified development strategy and proactively search for potential investment opportunities.

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT
APPENDIX III
VALUATION METHODOLOGY
In the course of our valuation, unless otherwise stated, we have valued the properties in their designated uses with the understanding that the properties will be used as such (hereafter referred to as ‘‘continued uses’’).
In valuing the property interests, we have valued by market approach by making reference to comparable market transactions/asking in our assessment of the property interests. This approach rests on the wide acceptance of the market transactions/asking as the best indicator and pre-supposes that evidence of relevant transactions/asking in the market place can be extrapolated to similar properties, subject to allowances for variable factors.
TITLE INVESTIGATION
We have been provided with copies of documents in relation to the title of the property interests in the PRC. Where possible, we have examined the original documents to verify the existing title to the property interest in the PRC and any material encumbrance that might be attached to the property interests or any tenancy amendment. All documents have been used for reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximate. In the course of our valuation, we have relied considerably on the legal opinion given by the Company’s PRC legal adviser – Dentons, concerning the validity of title of the property interests in the PRC.
SITE INVESTIGATION
We have inspected the exteriors and, where possible, the interior of the Property. The site inspection was carried out on 7 July 2020 by Xavier Gong (Analyst). However, we have not carried out an investigation on site to determine the suitability of ground conditions and services for any development thereon. Our valuation has been prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory. We have further assumed that there is no significant pollution or contamination in the locality which may affect any future developments.
Moreover, no structural surveys have been undertaken, but in the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects. We are not, however, able to report whether the Property is free of rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No tests were carried out on any of the utility services.
SOURCE OF INFORMATION
Unless otherwise stated, we shall rely to a considerable extent on the information provided to us by the Company or the legal or other professional advisers on such matters as statutory notices, planning approvals, zoning, easements, tenures, completion date of buildings, development proposal, identification of properties, particulars of occupation, site areas, floor areas, matters relating to tenure, tenancies and all other relevant matters.
We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Company. We have also sought confirmation from the Company that no material factors have been omitted from the information supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view and we have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld.

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT
APPENDIX III
We have not carried out detailed measurements to verify the correctness of the areas in respect of the property but have assumed that the areas shown on the title documents and official site plans handed to us are correct.

LIMITING CONDITION
Wherever the content of this report is extracted and translated from the relevant documents supplied in Chinese context and there are discrepancies in wordings, those parts of the original documents will take prevalent.
