LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Caretalk is the overseas distribution agent of the Target Company’s products, engaging in the market development in Europe and North America for the Target Company. The major services provided by Caretalk to the Target Company includes delivering product planning, launching promotions, providing after-sales service and extending customer base through participating overseas exhibitions and making client visits.
In the Relevant Period, Caretalk had introduced two valuable customers to the Target Company. These two customers account for a significant portion of the Target Company’s annual sales revenue.
The first customer, which is referred to as “Customer A” in the section headed “Information about major customers” in the Accountant’s Report, was established in 1993 and its major business is in North America. This customer is engaging in distributing and selling of medical devices. It has its own distribution network. The main products that the Target Group is selling to this customer are electronic pain killer and muscle relaxer.
The second customer, which is referred to as “Customer B” in the section headed “Information about major customers” in the Accountant’s Report, was established in 1997 and its major business is in Europe. This customer is engaging in distributing and selling of medical devices. It has its own retail network. The main products that the Target Group is selling to this customer are electronic thermal thermometer and muscle relaxer.
Having considered the above, the Directors are of the view that the Reorganisation is of significance for the business growth and development of the Target Company and can enhance the overall cohesion and integrity of the business of the Target Group.
Assets to be acquired
Subject to completion of the Reorganisation and fulfillment (or waiver if applicable) of the other Conditions Precedent, the Purchaser has conditionally agreed to acquire and the Vendors have conditionally agreed to transfer 55% equity interest in the Target Company, of which Zhao Zhigang will transfer 55% equity interest in the Target Company.
The Company wants to obtain controlling power over the Target Group. Therefore, the Company agreed to acquire more than 50% of equity interest in the Target Company. The acquisition of 55% equity interest in the Target Group is a mutual commercial arrangement.
Through controlling the majority of the board of the Target Company and the key management positions of the Target Company, the Purchaser can secure its interest in the Target Company.
Currently, the Company has no plan for further acquisition of equity interest in the Target Group.
Consideration
The consideration for the Equity Transfer is equivalent to 55% of the Target Value. The Target Value refers to the lesser of: (1) the Adjusted 2013 Net Profit multiplied by a factor of 13; and (2)
— 12 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
RMB364,000,000. The factor of 13 is determined, through negotiation between the Purchaser and the Vendors, with reference to the price-to-earnings ratios of companies engaging in businesses of the same industry of the Target Group around the period of when the Cooperation of Agreement was executed, for the details, please refer to the section headed “Basis of Consideration” below. Further, RMB364,000,000 was determined by multiplying the factor of 13 with the sum of the audited or unaudited profit / loss after taxation of the members of the Target Group, including Target Company, Zhilang Jinggong, Dundex Medical and Caretalk, prepared based on the PRC GAAP or SME-FRS for the year ended 31 December 2013 of approximately RMB 28 million as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 8 May 2014.
Given that the Adjusted 2013 Net Profit has now been confirmed at RMB 26,484,880, the consideration for the Equity Transfer shall therefor be RMB 189,366,892 (i.e. RMB 26,484,880 x 13 x 55%). The difference between the 2013 profit of accountants’ report and Adjusted 2013 Net Profit is income tax.
The consideration for the Equity Transfer will be paid by the Purchaser to the Vendors as soon as possible after the Completion Date and not later than 5 Business Days following the date on which the Vendors notify the Purchaser that the Vendors have opened a designated assets realisation account with the PRC foreign exchange authority.
The total consideration payable by the Purchaser for the Equity Transfer will be funded by internal financial resources of the Group and banking facilities.
No variation to the remuneration payable to and benefits in kind receivable by the directors of the Purchaser will be resulted from the transactions contemplated under the Cooperation Agreement.
Basis of consideration
The consideration for the Equity Transfer was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Purchaser and the Vendors with reference to (among others):
-
(i) the Guaranteed Profits provided by the Vendors for the forthcoming years ending 31 December 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017;
-
(ii) the estimated Adjusted 2013 Net Profit of approximately RMB28,000,000, which was determined based on the financial accounts of the Target Group which were available to the Purchaser as at the date of the announcement of the Company dated 8 May 2014;

The Directors consider that compared to private companies, the data of listed companies are public, accurate and worthy of reference and comparison; therefore, the Directors have selected companies which have business mode similar to that of the Target Company and prepared the comparison table. Other than those listed in the table, the Directors have not identified any other companies with similar business to that of the Target Company.
— 15 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
As shown in the table above, the Directors found that the average price-to-earnings ratio of companies engaging in business of medical equipment and services is on a multiple of 58, with the highest on a multiple of 109 and the lowest on the multiple of about 41.
Taking into account factors including that the Target Group is a small scale private enterprise, the Purchaser was able to negotiate on an arm’s length basis with the Vendors and achieve considerable discount in respect of valuation of the Target Group. Such discount reduces acquisitions costs and is in the benefit of the Company and its shareholders.
Having considered the above, and the fact that the companies listed in the table is exhaustive, the Directors are of the view that the comparison is fair and reasonable for providing a reference point for arm’s length negotiation with the Vendors, and the price-to-earning ratio of 13 is the best discount which the Vendors can offer to the Purchaser after their negotiations in view of the discount factors for private company and scale of the Target Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Performance appraisal
The Purchaser and the Vendors have agreed to maintain the Vendors’ relative independent operational autonomy of the Target Company during the Target Company’s business operations. No material change shall be made to the existing staff management policy, remuneration policy and incentive policy of the Target Company.
Save for non-compliance with the relevant laws and regulations, the rules and regulations of the Target Company or the termination of agreements with relevant staff by the Target Company voluntarily, the existing core management of the Target Company Zhao Zhigang will not be changed for at least four years from the Completion Date, and such arrangement will be implemented by the Target Company by entering into legal and valid non-competition agreements and other valid legal documents.
The Directors of the Company confirms that the “Vendors’ relative independent operational autonomy” as stated above refers to the day-to-day operation of the Target Company.
The Purchaser agreed to maintain the Vendors’ relative independent operational autonomy of the Target Company during the Target Company’s business operation due to the reasons that (1) the Target Group is principally engaged in the business of research and development, manufacturing and sales of medical devices, as well as a high new technology application and biological science, as the Vendors possess the relevant expertise to run the business of the Target Group which is not exactly the same with the Group’s existing business segment of distribution of pharmaceutical and healthcare products, the Purchaser would like to continue to borrow the Vendors’ expertise after the completion of the Equity Transfer for the benefit of the day-to-day operation of the Target Group; and (2) the Vendors guaranteed to the Purchaser under the Cooperation Agreement that the Target Group shall reach the Guaranteed Profits, failing which, the Vendors shall be subject to reimbursement obligations, the details can be referred to in paragraph headed “Post-completion undertakings — Profits guaranteed by the Vendors” in this circular. In this regard, the Directors of the Company are of the view that it is fair and reasonable to let the Vendors keep on running the day-to-day operation of the Target Company after the completion of the Equity Transfer.
However, the Purchaser does not intent to give away its ultimate control over the Target Group, and such intention is protected by the terms of the Cooperation Agreement that after the completion of the Equity Transfer, (1) the board of directors of the Target Company will comprise of five directors, of whom three will be appointed by the Purchaser and two will be appointed by the Vendors; and (2) the chairman of the board of directors, the legal representative and the chief financial officer of the Target Company will be appointed by the Purchaser, the details of which are set out in the paragraphed headed “Management of the Target Company — Board composition” above. Through controlling the majority of the board of the Target Company and the key management positions of the Target Company, the Purchaser can secure its interest in the Target Company.
Distribution of profits
The Purchaser and the Vendors have agreed that profits of the Target Company shall be retained in the Target Company save that any Undistributed Profits for the year ending 31 December 2014 shall be distributed to the Purchaser and the Vendors in accordance with their respective shareholding percentage in the Target Company as at the Completion Date.

Restrictions on transfer
The Vendors, the Purchaser and the Target Company have agreed that:
-
(1) Within the Lock-up Period, shareholders of the Target Company shall not directly or indirectly transfer or encumber their respective equity interest in the Target Company to any parties (other than transfers to his/her/its Affiliates). After the expiry of the Lock-up Period, if the Purchaser or any of the Vendors proposes to transfer the whole or any part of his/her/its equity interest in the Target Company to any parties (other than transfers to his/her/its Affiliates), he/she/it shall send a prior written notice to the non-transferring shareholder of the Target Company and seek its written consent. If the non-transferring party agrees to the transfer, he/she/it (or his/her/its Affiliates) shall have the pre-emptive right based on the same terms and conditions (including but not limited to the transfer price and the time and method of payment).

-
(3) for the year ending 31 December 2016, the lesser of: (i) 133.1% of the Adjusted 2013 Net Profit; and (ii) RMB38,000,000; and
-
(4) for the year ending 31 December 2017, the lesser of (i) 146.4% of the Adjusted 2013 Net Profit; and (ii) RMB40,000,000.
The figures listed in items (1) to (4) above are together referred to as the “ Guaranteed Profits ”.
The Vendors and the Target Company have irrevocably agreed that:
-
(1) If the Target Company fails to reach the respective Guaranteed Profits for the relevant year, the Vendors shall jointly and severally make cash reimbursement to the Target Company within 15 Business Days of the issuance of the audited accounts of the Target Company for the relevant year, the amount being the difference between the actual Net Profit and the Guaranteed Profits for that year. If the actual Net Profit is a negative figure, then for the purposes of reimbursement, the reimbursement payable by the Vendors shall be in the amount of the Guaranteed Profits for the relevant year (the “ Target Co Reimbursed Amount ”).
-
(2) If the Vendors fail to pay the Target Co Reimbursed Amount to the Target Company in accordance with (1) above, then the Vendors shall make cash reimbursement to the Purchaser within 18 Business Days from the date of issuance of the audited accounts of the Target Company for the relevant year, in the amount calculated from the following formula (the “ Purchaser Reimbursed Amount ”):
The Purchaser’s equity Target Co Reimbursed Purchaser Reimbursed Amount = x interest percentage in Amount the Target Company
- (3) if the Vendors fail to pay the Target Co Reimbursed Amount and the Purchaser Reimbursed Amount in accordance with (1) and (2) above, then the Purchaser has discretion to elect to, within 21 Business Days of the date of issuance of the audited accounts of the Target Company for the relevant year, deduct the Purchaser Reimbursed Amount from the Undistributed Profit (if any) attributable to the Vendors based on the proportion of equity interest he/she holds in the Target Company, or in accordance with the request of the Purchaser, settle the Purchaser Reimbursed Amount by transferring equity interest held by the Vendors in the Target Company to the Purchaser or any of the Company’s subsidiary(ies) it may designate:
Proportion of transferred = Purchaser Reimbursed Amount x 100% equity interest (%) Net assets of the Target Company as shown in the audited accounts of the Target Company for the relevant year and in RMB equivalent

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
After the acquisition, if the Target Company fails to reach the respective Guaranteed Profit for the subsequent years ended 31 December 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017, and the Target Co Reimbursed Amount, defined under the Cooperation Agreement, is to be paid by the Vendors (who are equity-holders of the Target Company) to the Target Company in accordance with the terms of the Cooperation Agreement, the Target Co Reimbursed Amount will be treated as a contribution by the equity-holders of the Target Company in equity (i.e. as a form of capital reserve) and shall not be accounted for as income in the financial statements of the Target Group. Under HKFRS 3, in the group consolidation level, 55% of the Target Co Reimbursed Amount would be regarded as the contingent negative consideration receivable from the Vendors (“Contingent Consideration Receivable”). At the acquisition date, the fair value of the Contingent Consideration Receivable shall be recognised and after the acquisition date, the fair value of the Contingent Consideration Receivable will be remeasured at each subsequent reporting period end and the change in the fair value of the Contingent Consideration Receivable will be credited/charged to the consolidated income statement of the Enlarged Group in subsequent years (up to 2017).
If the Vendors fail to pay to the Target Co Reimbursed Amount to the Target Company in accordance with the terms of the Cooperation Agreement and the Vendors will then make the payment, which is calculated by 55% x Target Co Reimbursed Amount, to the Purchaser (“Purchaser Reimbursed Amount”). Under HKFRS 3, this would be regarded as Contingent Consideration Receivable from the Vendors. At the acquisition date, the fair value for this Contingent Consideration Receivable shall be recognised and after the acquisition date, the fair value of the Contingent Consideration Receivable will be remeasured at each subsequent reporting period end and any change in the fair value of this Contingent Consideration Receivable shall be credited/charged to the consolidated income statement of the Enlarged Group in the subsequent years (up to 2017). There will have no effect on the financial statements of the Target Group.
If the Vendors fail to pay the Target Co Reimbursed Amount and the Purchaser Reimbursed Amount in accordance with the Cooperation Agreement, as stated in (a) and (b) above, the Purchaser has discretion to elect to either (1) deduct the Purchaser Reimbursed Amount from the Undistributed Profit of the Target Company or (2) to settle the Purchaser Reimbursed Amount by transferring the proportion of the equity interest of the Target Company held by the Vendors, as stipulated in the Cooperation Agreement. Either form of settlement for the compensation will be regarded as the Contingent Consideration Receivable from the Vendors. At the acquisition date, the fair value for this Contingent Consideration Receivable shall be recognised and after the acquisition date, the fair value of the Contingent Consideration Receivable will be remeasured at each subsequent reporting end and any change in the fair value of this Contingent Consideration Receivable shall be credited/charged to the consolidated income statement of the Enlarged Group in the subsequent years (up to 2017). There will have no particular effects on the financial statements of the Target Group, except that the distribution of profits to the Vendors (45% of the distribution) would ultimately be used as cash settlement for the Contingent Consideration Receivable from the Vendors to the Purchaser, or merely a transfer of the proportionate shareholding in the Target Company from the Vendors to the Purchaser.
Having considered the accounting treatment as disclosed above, the accounting treatment of the Target Co Reimbursed Amount (if any) will have no impact to the consolidated statement of profit or loss of the Target Group. As such, the Target Co Reimbursed Amount will not be included in the calculation of the Guaranteed Profits in subsequent years.
— 24 —

(iii) the Purchaser Reimbursed Amount is determined based on Target Co Reimbursed Amount, which in turn is determined in accordance with the actual shortfall of the Guaranteed Profits on a dollar-for-dollar basis; and
-

Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix IV to this circular, upon completion of the Equity Transfer, the consolidated total assets of the Enlarged Group would increase from approximately RMB811,541,000 to approximately RMB1,122,438,000 and the consolidated total liabilities of the Enlarged Group would increase from approximately RMB352,409,000 to approximately RMB570,076,000. The non-controlling interests of the Enlarged Group would be increased by approximately RMB93,942,000.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The total estimated acquisition-related costs for the acquisition of the Target Group of approximately RMB2,473,000 which is to be incurred and to be charged to consolidated profit or loss upon the completion of the acquisition of the Target Group. Based on the Accountant’s Report, the Target Group has recorded healthy growth in sales and profits since 2011, and having inquired with the Target Group’s management, the Directors have not become aware of any adverse changes in business development for the Target Group. Thus, the Directors believe that the earnings of the Group will be increased after the transaction.
Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group, the Transactions would give rise to goodwill of RMB74,550,000 which is measured at cost at initial recognition and would be subsequently tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
The Group’s accounting policies for goodwill is in accordance with the applicable accounting standards. Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interests over the identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
Even though the impairment assessment will be carried out in the accounting periods in the future, in view of the date of this circular, the Directors consider that the amount of goodwill as a result of the difference between the consideration and the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the Target Group is a reflection of the expected future economic benefits, i.e. the net cash flows and earnings of the Target Group.
For the purpose of the unaudited pro forma financial information, the Board has considered the goodwill associated with the Transactions in accordance with HKAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”. Based on the information available to the Directors as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board considered that there is no indication of impairment loss on goodwill arising from the Transactions in accordance with the accounting policy of the Group.
Upon completion of the Equity Transfer, the actual goodwill and intangible assets, if any, of the Enlarged Group, for accounting purposes, will need to be recalculated based on the fair value of the net identifiable assets and liabilities of the Target Group at the Completion Date. The actual financial effects are expected to be different from the amounts presented above.
The unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared for illustrative purpose only, based on the judgements and assumptions of the Directors, and, because of its hypothetical nature, it may not reflect the true financial position of the Enlarged Group as at Completion Date or any future date. Moreover, since the actual fair values of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the Target Group as at Completion Date would be different from their estimated fair values used in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma financial information, the actual financial effects of the Transactions might be materially different from the financial information as shown in Appendix IV to this circular.

APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
countries have increasing expectations for enhanced healthcare. (3) Payments and insurance coverage of medical expenses by insurers and employers are reducing gradually, but the fees payable by insured persons and patients have been ever increasing. (4) Early analysis, prevention and therapy for many diseases with minor symptoms are available with advancements in technology. According to media reports, the market size of the global household medical device market has grown from US$14.6 billion in 2007 to US$20.4 billion in 2012, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. Auxiliary devices for rehabilitation and therapy, monitor/sensor and telemetry devices, will become the focus points in the household medical electronics market.
On the background of globalization, the development of the household medical device market is not only affected by the above macro factors in the international market, it is also affected by the domestic social medical and retirement insurance systems, birth control policy, the aging trend of a large population base and the macro adjustment policy of the industry.
According to the medical policy promulgated under the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, on one hand, it has made clear that medical and health expenditure by the State will continue to increase in the future, reforms of the medical system will be deepened and focus will be on early prevention of diseases. This has brought extensive growth prospects to the overall medical device industry, in particular for domestic medical device enterprises supplying mid- to low-end medical devices. On the other hand, it has also affirmed that the State will provide key support to large domestic medical device enterprises, and preferential policies of the State for the industry, in the aspects of finance, taxation, financing, administrative review and approval, will be provided, to support industry consolidation as well as merger and restructuring of the pharmaceutical industry. This has provided extremely good opportunities for enterprises in the medical device industry to realize rapid development by way of external expansion. Meanwhile, the accelerated aging trend, increasing consumption power and health awareness have created an enormous market space for the medical device industry. The growth prospect of the medical device industry in China, particularly the sub-sector market of the domestic medical device industry, is optimistic. Under the supportive national policies, deepening of medical reforms, emerging trend of an aging population, increasing consumption power and health awareness, the medical device industry of China is entering a prime period of development.
Benefiting from the development trend of the medical device industry, it is anticipated that the Target Company’s major product, household portable medical device, will be able to create good opportunities for the Group to expand into the medical device manufacture and sales market to increase the Group’s income sources.
The source of analysis under this section headed “Financial and Trading Prospect of the Enlarged Group is the report issued by Zero Power Intelligence entitled “2013 - 2018 Report on In-Depth Analysis, Research, Consultation and Forecast of the Market of Domestic Medical Electronic Devices”. The Directors believe that the abovementioned report is a reliable source of information because Zero Power Intelligence is a professional market research and surveys agency with experience and resources in the medical and healthcare industry.

For the purpose of this report, Caretalk has been regarded and consolidated as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Target Company since its incorporation date and during the Relevant Periods, on the basis as set out in notes 2(b) and 2(d)(ii) to the Financial Information.
The statutory financial statements of the Target Company which were prepared in accordance with the relevant accounting principles and financial regulations applicable to the enterprises established in the PRC for each of the three years ended 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013 were

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
audited by Shenzhen Peng Cheng Certified Public Accountants Co., Ltd. (深圳市鵬城會計師事務所有 限公司), Shenzhen Huang Jia Certified Public Accountants (深圳皇嘉會計師事務所) and Shenzhen Xing Ye Certified Public Accountants (深圳興業會計師事務所), respectively, which were registered in the PRC.
The statutory financial statements of Zhilang Jinggong which were prepared in accordance with the relevant accounting principles and financial regulations applicable to the enterprises established in the PRC for the period from 17 October 2012 (date of incorporation) to 31 December 2012 and for the year ended 31 December 2013 were audited by Shenzhen Huang Jia Certified Public Accountants (深圳皇嘉會計師事務所) and Shenzhen Xing Ye Certified Public Accountants (深圳興業會計師事務 所), respectively, which were registered in the PRC.
The statutory financial statements of Dundex Medical for the period from 1 June 2012 (date of incorporation) to 31 December 2013 were audited by its auditor, SBC CPA Limited who issued a qualified opinion dated 26 February 2014 because there was no complete set of financial statements prepared by its directors in accordance with the Small and Medium-sized Entity Financial Reporting Standard (the “SME-FRS”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”) and section 141D of the predecessor Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and its auditor had not been provided with sufficient books and records for their audit on the SME-FRS financial statements of Dundex Medical. As disclosed above, Dundex Medical had not yet commenced its business since its incorporation on 1 June 2012 and during the Relevant Periods. For the purpose of this report, the directors of Dundex Medical have prepared a complete set of the financial statements for the Relevant Periods in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the HKICPA. We have conducted an independent audit on the HKFRSs financial statements of Dundex Medical in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA and carried out such procedures as we considered necessary for inclusion of the financial information relating to Dundex Medical. No material adjustment was made on the HKFRSs financial statements of Dundex Medical for the Relevant Periods.
No audited financial statements have been prepared for Caretalk since its date of incorporation as it was incorporated in the BVI where there is no statutory audit requirement. We have, however, reviewed all the relevant transactions of Caretalk for the Relevant Periods and up to the date of this report and carried out such procedures as we considered necessary for inclusion of the financial information relating to Caretalk.
For the purpose of this report, the directors of the Target Company have prepared the consolidated financial statements of the Target Group for the Relevant Periods in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA (the “Underlying Financial Statements”). We have carried out an independent audit on the Underlying Financial Statements in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA. We have examined the Underlying Financial Statements and have carried out such procedures as we consider necessary in accordance with the Auditing Guideline 3.340 “Prospectuses and the Reporting Accountant” as recommended by the HKICPA.
The Financial Information of the Target Group set out in this report has been prepared from the Underlying Financial Statements on the basis set out in note 2 to the Financial Information. No adjustments were considered necessary to the Underlying Financial Statements in preparing our report for inclusion in the Circular.

APPENDIX II
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
The Underlying Financial Statements are the responsibility of the directors of the Target Company, who approve the issue. The directors of the Company are responsible for the contents of the Circular in which this report is included. It is our responsibility to compile the Financial Information set out in this report from the Underlying Financial Statements to form an opinion on the Financial Information and to report our opinion to you.
In our opinion, the Financial Information, together with the notes thereon for the purpose of this report, gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Target Group as at 31 December 2011, 2012, 2013 and 30 June 2014 and of its results and cash flows for the Relevant Periods.
The comparative statement of profit or loss, statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flow of the Target Group for the period for the six months ended 30 June 2013 together with the notes thereon have been extracted from the Target Group’s unaudited financial information for the same period (the “30 June 2013 Financial Information”) which were prepared by the directors of the Target Company solely for the purpose of this report. We conducted our review in accordance with the Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2400 “Engagements to Review Historical Financial Statements” issued by the HKICPA. A review consists of making inquires, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the 30 June 2013 Financial Information. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the 30 June 2013 Financial Information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting policies consistent with those used in the preparation of the Financial Information, which conform with HKFRSs.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
B. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The Target Company was incorporated in the PRC on 1 March 2000 with limited liability. The address of its registered office and principal place of business is located at Block 3 of Fan Shen Xu Sheng Industrial Area, Xiao Bai Mang, Xi Li, Nan Shan District, Shenzhen, the PRC (中國深圳市南 山區西麗小白芒翻身旭生工業區三棟). The Target Group, comprising the Target Company and its subsidiaries, and Caretalk Technology Co., Ltd., is engaged in the research and development, manufacturing and sales of electrotherapeutic and physiotherapeutic devices and general medical examination devices. The principal activities of the subsidiaries are set out in note 21.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Statement of compliance
The Financial Information have been prepared in accordance with all applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”), which collective term includes all applicable individual Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”) and Interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”), accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. The Financial Information also comply with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the Target Group is set out below.
The HKICPA has issued certain new and revised HKFRSs that are first effective or available for early adoption for the current accounting period of the Target Group. For the purposes of preparing the Financial Information, the Target Group has not applied any new and revised HKFRS that is not yet effective for the Relevant Periods. The adoption of these new and revised HKFRSs has no significant impact on the Financial Information. The revised and new accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective for the Relevant Periods are set out in note 27.
(b) Basis of preparation of the Financial Information
In preparation for the group reorganisation based on the Cooperation Agreement dated 8 May 2014, Dundex Medical (H.K.) Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Target Company shall acquire the entire interest in Caretalk from Zhao Zhigang, the holder of 70% of the equity interests in the Target Company (the “Reorganisation”).
As the controlling shareholders and key management who controlled Caretalk before and after the Reorganisation are the same, the Financial Information during the Relevant Periods are prepared as if the current group structure following the Reorganisation had been in existence throughout the Relevant Periods or since the respective dates of incorporation of the relevant entity within the Target Group, where this is a shorter period, in accordance with Accounting Guideline 5 “Merger Accounting for Common Control Combinations” issued by HKICPA.
— 49 —
APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
The Financial Information comprise the financial information of the Target Company and its subsidiaries including Caretalk, for the Relevant Periods.
The measurement basis used in the preparation of the Financial Information is the historical cost basis. Items included in the Financial Information of each entity in the Target Group are measured using the currency that best reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances relevant to the entity. The functional currency of the Target Company, its subsidiary in the PRC and Caretalk is Renminbi (“RMB”) and that of the Target Company’s subsidiary in Hong Kong is Hong Kong Dollars (“HKD”). For the purpose of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the Target Group has adopted RMB as its presentation currency.
The preparation of Financial Information in conformity with HKFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Judgements made by management in the application of HKFRSs that have significant effect on the Financial Information and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are discussed in note 23.
(c) Subsidiaries and non-controlling interests
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Target Group. The Target Group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. When assessing whether the Target Group has power, only substantive rights (held by the Target Group and other parties) are considered.
An investment in a subsidiary is consolidated into the Financial Information from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Intra-group balances and transactions and cash flows and any unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full in preparing the Financial Information. Unrealised losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
Non-controlling interests represents the equity in a subsidiary not attributable directly or indirectly to the Target Company, and in respect of which the Target Group has not agreed any additional terms with the holders of those interests which would result in the Target Group as a whole having a contractual obligation in respect of those interests that meets the definition of a financial liability.

Non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separately from equity attributable to the equity shareholders of the Target Company. Non-controlling interests in the results of the Target Group are presented on the face of the consolidated statement of profit or loss and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and comprehensive income as an allocation of the total profit or loss and total comprehensive income for the year between non-controlling interests and the equity shareholders of the Target Company. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Target Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. Loans from holders of non-controlling interests and other contractual obligations towards these holders are presented as financial liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Changes in the Target Group’s interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for an equity transactions, whereby adjustments are made to the amounts of controlling and non-controlling interests within consolidated equity to reflect the change in relative interests, but no adjustment are made to goodwill and no gain or loss is recognised.
When the Target Group loses control of a subsidiary, it is accounted for as a disposal of the entire interest in that subsidiary, with a resulting gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in that former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is recognised at fair value and this amount is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or, when appropriate, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or joint venture.
(d) (i) Business combinations
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Target Group, liabilities incurred by the Target Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Target Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair values, except that:
-
a deferred tax asset or liability arising from the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination and the potential tax effects of temporary differences and carryforwards of an acquiree that exist at the acquisition date or arise as a result of the acquisition are recognised and measured in accordance with HKAS 12 Income Taxes;
-
assets or liabilities relating to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with HKAS 19 Employee Benefits;
-
liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree or share-based payment arrangements of the Target Group entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree are measured in accordance with HKFRS 2 Share-based Payment at the acquisition date (see the accounting policy below); and
— 51 —
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
- assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with HKFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that Standard.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after re-assessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.
Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Other types of non-controlling interests are measured at their fair value or, when applicable, on the basis specified in another HKFRS.
Where the consideration transferred by the Target Group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with the corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the “measurement period” (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.
The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, or HKAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss.
When a business combination is achieved in stages, the Target Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date when the Target Group obtains control) and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of.
— 52 —
APPENDIX II
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Target Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see above), and additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised at that date.
(ii) Merger Accounting for Common Control Combinations
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements items of the combining entities or businesses in which the common control combination occurs as if they had been combined from the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the control of the controlling party.
The net assets of the combining entities or businesses are consolidated using the existing book values from the controlling party’s perspective. No amount is recognised in respect of goodwill or excess of acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of common control combination, to the extent of the continuation of the controlling party’s interest.
The consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income/ statement of profit or loss includes the results of each of the combining entities or businesses from the earliest date presented or since the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the common control, where this is a shorter period, regardless of the date of the common control combination.
The comparative amounts in the consolidated financial statements are presented as if the entities or businesses had been combined at the end of the previous reporting period or when they first came under common control, whichever is shorter.
(e) Investment properties
Investment properties are land and/or buildings which are owned or held under a leasehold interest (see note 2(h)) to earn rental income and/or for capital appreciation. These include land held for a currently undetermined future use and property that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment property.
Investment properties are stated in the statement of financial position at fair value, unless they are still in the course of construction or development at the end of the reporting period and their fair value cannot be reliably measured at the time. Any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value or from the retirement or disposal of an investment property is recognised in profit or loss.
(f) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment, other than construction in progress, are stated in the balance sheet at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any (see note 2(i)(ii)).
— 53 —
APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment, less their estimated residual value, if any, using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:
— Machinery and equipment 10 - 25 years — Motor vehicles 6 years — Furniture and office equipment 5 years
Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost of the item is allocated on a reasonable basis between the parts and each part is depreciated separately. Both the useful life of an asset and its residual value, if any, are reviewed annually.
Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Cost may also include transfers from equity of any gains/losses on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Target Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part us derecognised. All othe repairs and maintenance are recognised in profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item and are recognised in profit or loss on the date of retirement or disposal.
(g) Intangible assets
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at costs less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
The following intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised from the date they are available for use and their estimated useful lives are as follows:
- Computer softwares 5 years
(h) Leased assets
An arrangement, comprising a transaction or a series of transactions, is or contains a lease if the Target Group determines that the arrangement conveys a right to use a specific asset or assets for an agreed period of time in return for a payment or a series of payments. Such a determination is made based on an evaluation of the substance of the arrangement and is regardless of whether the arrangement takes the legal form of a lease.
— 54 —
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
(i) Classification of assets leased to the Target Group
Assets that are held by the Target Group under leases which transfer to the Target Group substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as being held under finance leases. Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the Target Group are classified as operating leases, with the following exception:
- land held for own use under an operating lease, the fair value of which cannot be measured separately from the fair value of a building situated thereon at the inception of the lease, is accounted for as being held under a finance lease, unless the building is also clearly held under an operating lease. For these purposes, the inception of the lease is the time that the lease was first entered into by the Target Group, or taken over from the previous lessee.
(ii) Operating lease charges
Where the Target Group has the use of assets held under operating leases, payments made under the leases are charged to profit or loss in equal instalments over the accounting periods covered by the lease term. Lease incentives received are recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the aggregate net lease payments made. Contingent rentals are charged to profit or loss in the accounting period in which they are incurred.
(i) Impairment of assets
(i) Impairment of trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables and other financial assets that are stated at cost or amortised cost are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. Objective evidence of impairment includes observable data that comes to the attention of the Target Group about one or more of the following loss events:
-
significant financial difficulty of the debtor;
-
a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
-
it becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; and
— significant changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that have an adverse effect on the debtor.
If any such evidence exists, any impairment loss is determined and recognised as follows:
- For trade and other receivables and other financial assets carried at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and
— 55 —
APPENDIX II
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition of these assets), where the effect of discounting is material. This assessment is made collectively where these financial assets share similar risk characteristics, such as similar past due status, and have not been individually assessed as impaired. Future cash flows for financial assets which are assessed for impairment collectively are based on historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to the collective group.
— If in a subsequent period the amount of an impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be linked objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. A reversal of an impairment loss shall not result in the asset’s carrying amount exceeding that which would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years.
(ii) Impairment of property, plant and equipment
Impairment losses are written off against the corresponding assets directly, except for impairment losses recognised in respect of trade debtors included within trade and other receivables, whose recovery is considered doubtful but not remote. In this case, the impairment losses for doubtful debts are recorded using an allowance account. When the Target Group is satisfied that recovery is remote, the amount considered irrecoverable is written off against trade debtors directly and any amounts held in the allowance account relating to that debt are reversed. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously charged to the allowance account are reversed against the allowance account. Other changes in the allowance account and subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off directly are recognised in profit or loss.
Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to identify indications that property, plant and equipment may be impaired or an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased.
If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
-
Calculation of recoverable amount
The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows independently (i.e. a cash-generating unit).
- Recognition of impairment losses
An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss whenever the carrying amount of an asset, or the cash-generating unit to which it belongs, exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment
— 56 —
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit (or group of units) and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (or group of units) on a pro rata basis, except that the carrying value of an asset will not be reduced below its individual fair value less costs of disposal (if measureable) or value in use (if determinable).
—
Reversals of impairment losses
An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.
A reversal of impairment loss is limited to the asset’s carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the year in which the reversals are recognised.
(j) Inventories
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost is calculated using the weighted average cost formula and comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any write-down of inventories is recognised as reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.
(k) Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts (see note 2(h)(i)), except where the receivables are interest-free loans made to related parties without any fixed repayment terms or the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, the receivables are stated at cost less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts.
(l) Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently stated at amortised cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.
— 57 —
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
(m) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within three months of maturity at acquisition.
(n) Employee benefits
- (i) Short term employee benefits and contributions to defined contribution retirement plans
Salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave, contributions to defined contribution retirement plans and the cost of non-monetary benefits are accrued in the Relevant Periods in which the associated services are rendered by employees. Where payment or settlement is deferred and the effect would be material, these amounts are stated at their present values.
(ii) Termination benefits
Termination benefits are recognised at the earlier of when the Target Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when it recognizes restructuring costs involving the payment of termination benefits.
(o) Income tax
Income tax for the Relevant Periods comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the relevant amounts of tax are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the Relevant Periods, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from deductible and taxable temporary differences respectively, being the differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets also arise from unused tax losses and unused tax credits.
Apart from certain limited exceptions, all deferred tax liabilities, and all deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised, are recognised. Future taxable profits that may support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences include those that will arise from the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, provided those differences relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse either in the same period as the
— 58 —
APPENDIX II
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
expected reversal of the deductible temporary difference or in periods into which a tax loss arising from the deferred tax asset can be carried back or forward. The temporary differences support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and credits, that is, those differences are taken into account if they relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse in a period, or periods, in which the tax loss or credit can be utilised.
The limited exceptions to recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities are those temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit (provided they are not part of a business combination), in the case of taxable differences, the Target Group controls the timing of the reversal and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future, or in the case of deductible differences, unless it is probable that they will reverse in the future.
The amount of deferred tax recognised is measured based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of each reporting period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow the related tax benefit to be utilised. Any such reduction is reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.
Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognised when the liability to pay the related dividends is recognised.
Current tax balances and deferred tax balances, and movements therein, are presented separately from each other and are not off set. Current tax assets are off set against current tax liabilities, and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities, if the Target Group has the legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the following additional conditions are met:
- in the case of current tax assets and liabilities, the Target Group intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously; or
— in the case of deferred tax assets and liabilities, if they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:
-
the same taxable entity; or
-
different taxable entities, which, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered, intend to realise the current tax assets and settle the current tax liabilities on a net basis or realise and settle simultaneously.
— 59 —
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
- (p) Provisions and contingent liabilities
(i) Contingent liabilities assumed in business combinations
Contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination which are present obligations at the date of acquisition are initially recognised at fair value, provided the fair value can be reliably measured. After their initial recognition at fair value, such contingent liabilities are recognised at the higher of the amount initially recognised, less accumulated amortisation where appropriate, and the amount that would be determined in accordance with note 2(p)(ii). Contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination that cannot be reliably fair valued or were not present obligations at the date of acquisition are disclosed in accordance with note 2(p)(ii).
(ii) Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the Target Group has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditures expected to settle the obligation.
Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.
(q) Revenue recognition
Provided it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Target Group and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably, revenue is recognised in profit or loss as follows:
(i) Sale of goods
Revenue is recognised when goods are delivered at the customers’ premises, which is taken to be the point in time when the customer has accepted the goods and the related risks and rewards of ownership. Revenue excludes value added tax and other sales taxes and is stated after deduction of returns and discounts.
(ii) Interest income
Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method.
(r) Translation of foreign currencies
Foreign currency transactions during the Relevant Periods are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the end of the reporting period. Exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss.
— 60 —
APPENDIX II
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies stated at fair value are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was measured.
The results of foreign operations are translated into RMB at the exchange rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Statement of financial position items are translated into RMB at the closing foreign exchange rates ruling at the end of the reporting period. The resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated separately in equity in the exchange reserve.
(s) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are expensed in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred, except to the extent that they are capitalised as being directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale.
The capitalisation of borrowing costs as part of the cost of a qualifying asset commences when expenditure for the asset is being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended or ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are interrupted or complete.
(t) Government grants
Government grants are recognised in the statement of financial position initially as deferred income when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and that the Target Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them. Grants that compensate the Target Group for expenses incurred are recognised as revenue in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses are incurred. Grants that compensate the Target Group for the cost of an asset are deducted in arriving at the carrying amount of the asset and consequently are recognised in profit or loss over the useful life of the asset.
(u) Related parties
-
(a) A person, or a close member of that person’s family, is related to the Target Group if that person:
-
(i) has control or joint control over the Target Group;

(v) Segment reporting
Operating segments, and the amounts of each segment item reported in the financial statements, are identified from the financial information provided regularly to the Target Group’s senior executive management, i.e. the chief operation decision-makers, for the purposes of allocating resources to, and assessing the performance of, the Target Group’s various lines of business and geographical locations.
Individually material operating segments are not aggregated for financial reporting purposes unless the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in respect of the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, the type or class of customers, the methods used to distribute the products or provide the services, and the nature of the regulatory environment. Operating segments which are not individually material may be aggregated if they share a majority of these criteria.
3. TURNOVER
The Target Group is engaged in the research and development, manufacturing and sales of electrotherapeutic and physiotherapeutic devices and general medical examination devices.
Turnover represents the solely net invoiced value of goods sold, net of value added tax and sales related taxes, for the Relevant Periods.

The level into which a fair value measurement is classified is determined with reference to the observability and significance of the inputs used in the valuation technique as follows:
-
Level 1 valuations: Fair value measured using only Level 1 inputs i.e. unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date
-
Level 2 valuations: Fair value measured using Level 2 inputs i.e. observable inputs which fail to meet Level 1, and not using significant unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs are inputs for which market data are not available
-
Level 3 valuations: Fair value measured using significant unobservable inputs

During the Relevant Periods, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, or transfers into or out of Level 3. The Target Group’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels of fair value hierarchy as at the end of the reporting period in which they occur.
All of the Target Group’s investment properties were revalued at the end of the Relevant Periods. The valuations were carried out an independent firm of surveyors, Roma Appraisals Limited, who have among their staff Fellows of the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors with recent experience in the location and category of properties being valued. The Target Group’s management had discussions with the surveyors on the valuation assumptions and valuation results when the valuation at 30 June 2014 was performed.
Valuation techniques and inputs used in Level 2 fair value measurements
The fair value of investment properties located in the PRC is determined using market comparison approach by reference to recent sales price of comparable properties on a price per square metre basis using market data which is publicly available.

Receivables that were neither past due nor impaired relate to a wide range of customers for whom there was no recent history of default. Based on past experience, management believes that no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of these balances as there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the balances are still considered fully recoverable. The Target Group and the Target Company do not hold any collateral over these balances.

22. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Target Group is exposed to credit, liquidity and currency risk arises in the normal course of the Target Group’s business. These risks are limited by the Target Group’s financial management policies described below.
(a) Credit risk
The Target Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to trade debtors. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to the credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations of its customers’ financial position and condition are performed on each and every major customer periodically. These evaluations focus on the customer’s past history of making payments when due and current ability to pay, and take into account information specific to the customer as well as pertaining to the economic environment in which the customer operates. The Target Group does not require collateral in respect of its financial assets. Trade receivables are usually due within 90 days.
At 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013 and 30 June 2014, the Target Group had certain concentration of credit risk as 91%, 80%, 98% and 97% of the total trade debtors were due from the Target Group’s five largest customers.
(b) Liquidity risk
The Target Group is exposed to liquidity risk of being unable to finance its future working capital and financial requirements when they fall due. To manage liquidity risk, the Target Group regularly monitors its current and expected liquidity requirements, to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash and adequate of funding from its ultimate controlling party to meet its liquidity requirements in the short term and long term. The director of the Target Company is of the opinion that the Target Group will be able to finance its future working capital and financial requirements.
The following table details the remaining contractual maturities at each reporting period end during the Relevant Periods of the Target Group’s and the Target Company’s financial liabilities which are based on contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest payments computed using contractual rates or, if floating, based on rates current at each reporting period end during the Relevant Periods) and the earliest date the Target Group and the Target Company can be required to pay:

(i) Exposure to currency risk
The Target Group is exposed to currency risk primarily through sales which give rise to receivables and cash balances that are denominated in a foreign currency, i.e. a currency other than the functional currency of the operations to which the transactions relate. The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily United States Dollars (“USD”). The Target Group does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency risk as it considered the impact of currency risk on the Target Group is within reasonably acceptable.

23. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The methods, estimates and judgements the directors used in applying the Target Group’s accounting policies have a significant impact on the Target Group’s financial position and operating results. Some of the accounting policies require the Target Group to apply estimates and judgements, on matters that are inherently uncertain. The critical accounting judgements in applying the Target Group’s accounting policies are discussed below.
— 93 —
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
(a) Depreciation and amortisation
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimates useful lives, after taking into account the estimated residual value. The management reviews annually the useful lives of an asset and its residue value, if any. The depreciation expense for future periods is adjusted if there are significant changes from previous estimation.
(b) Valuation of inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value at each reporting period end during the Relevant Periods. Net realisable value is determined on the basis of the estimated selling price less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The directors estimate the net realisable value for inventories based primarily on the latest invoice prices and current market conditions. In addition, the directors perform an inventory review on a product-by-product basis at each year end date and assess the need for write down of inventories.
(c) Impairments
In considering the impairment losses that may be required for certain of the Target Group’s property, plant and equipment, recoverable amount of the asset needs to be determined. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and the value in use. It is difficult to precisely estimate selling price because quoted market prices for these assets may not be readily available. In determining the value in use, expected cash flows generated by the asset are discounted to their present value, which requires significant judgement relating to items such as level of sales volume, selling price and amount of operating costs. The Target Group uses all readily available information in determining an amount that is reasonable approximation of recoverable amount, including estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections of items.
Impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts are assessed and provided based on the directors’ regular review of ageing analysis and evaluation of collectively. A considerable level of judgement is exercised by the directors when assessing the credit worthiness and past collection history of each individual customer.
An increase or decrease in the above impairment losses would affect the net profit in future years.
(d) Income tax
The Target Company, Zhilang Jinggong and Caretalk are subject to Enterprise Income Tax in the PRC. There are certain transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Target Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
Six months ended 30 June 2014
The Target Group recorded gross profit of approximately RMB32,615,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2014, representing an increase of approximately RMB8,546,000 or 35.5% compared to approximately RMB24,069,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2013.

Operating expenses (selling/distribution expenses and administration expenses)
Year ended 31 December 2011
The Target Group incurred operating expenses of approximately RMB24,766,000 for the year ended 31 December 2011, representing a decrease of approximately RMB1,489,000 or 5.7% compared to approximately RMB26,255,000 for the year ended 31 December 2010. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily to the decrease in selling and distribution expenses of approximately RMB1,764,000 mainly as a result of a reduction in salaries.
Year ended 31 December 2012
The Target Group incurred operating expenses of approximately RMB29,079,000 for the year ended 31 December 2012, representing an increase of approximately RMB4,313,000 or 17.4% compared to approximately RMB24,766,000 for the year ended 31 December 2011. The increase in operating expenses was primarily to the fact that in 2012 the Target Group made fine tuning and improvement. In line with the future strategic goals and planning of the Target Company, investment was increased in the internal control in a long run by introducing scientific management standards and operating modes. More efforts were put to the research and development of new products and production infrastructure. Market expansion activities also rolled out actively, resulting in an increase in the management expense of the Target Company in 2012.
Year ended 31 December 2013
The Target Group incurred operating expenses of approximately RMB26,606,000 for the year ended 31 December 2013, representing a decrease of approximately RMB2,473,000 or 8.5% compared to approximately RMB29,079,000 for the year ended 31 December 2012. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily to the fact that the Target Group regulated its management efficiency and improved its operating capabilities with focus on the control over labor cost. Particularly with respect to the Target Company’s personnel structure, the management cost was cut significantly and the production efficiency was improved by leveraging process technologies. Therefore, the operating expenses was reduced and the profit of the Company was improved while the sales were enhanced in 2013.
More specifically, the measures the Target Group had taken in 2013 to reduce operating costs included the control of increase of investment on market development, and reduction of the workload of the management personnel of the Target Group by way of optimisation of workflow and enhancement of work efficiency. As a result, while sales revenue has been increased, the growth of staff cost was far lower than that of sales revenue.

APPENDIX III
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
Moreover, the decrease in operating costs in 2013 as compared with that in 2012 was mainly because 2012 was the year of adjustment and improvement for the Target Group, and the Target Group has incurred substantial expenses on market development incurred in 2012. Based on its future strategic goals and plans, the Target Group increased the long-term investment in internal management, introduced a scientific standard of management and mode of operations, increased R&D investment in new products, investment in basic facilities, and introduced and implemented the management on lean production. Meanwhile, it worked actively on market development, leading to higher operating costs in 2012, the particulars of which are set out below:
| Amount: RMB | |
|---|---|
| Investments in 2012 | (in ten thousand) |
| Investment in basic R&D facilities | 30 |
| Investment in consultation service on standard operation of the | |
| Company | 50 |
| Investment in lean production | 80 |
| Increase of investment in cost of senior management personnel | 108 |
| Increase of investment in market development | 337 |
As indicated above, the substantial decrease in operating expenses in 2013 as compared with that in 2012 was due to the Target Group’s substantial investment in market development incurred in 2012. As such investment was one-off expenses in 2012, and would not recur in 2013 or thereafter, the effect of reduction in operating costs was not a one-off measure adopted for the purpose of increasing the Target Group’s profit of 2013 and determining the acquisition price. Therefore, such reduction in operation costs is sustainable.
For the period from January to June 2014, sales increased by 13.4% as compared with the corresponding period in 2013; operating costs increased by 2.9% as compared with the corresponding period in 2013, which was mainly due to the increase in sales; and operating costs as a percentage of sales accounted for a decrease from 21.3% to 19.3% as compared with that in January to June 2013.
Six months ended 30 June 2014
The Target Group incurred operating expenses of approximately RMB14,389,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2014, representing an increase of approximately RMB408,000 or 2.9% compared to approximately RMB13,981,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2013. The slight increase in operating expenses was in line with the increase in revenue on a year to year basis.
The operating expenses for the six months ended 30 June 2014 mainly composed of (1) salaries of approximately RMB1,615,000 which accounts for 11.2% of the total operating expenses; (2) bonus of approximately RMB1,813,000 which accounts for 12.6% of the total operating expenses; (3) research and development costs of approximately RMB3,592,000 which accounts for 25.0% of the total operating expenses; and (4) consultancy fee of approximately RMB1,001,000 which accounts for 6.9% of the total operating expenses.

-

RMB’000
| Fair values of identifiable assets acquired: Net assets of the Target Group as at 30 June 2014 attributable to the equity holder of the Target Company Fair value adjustments of intangible assets (note 4(a),(c)) Deferred tax liabilities (note 4(b)) Share of 55% equity interests of the Target Group Goodwill (note 4(c)) Total consideration at fair value (note 5) |
94,083 134,914 (20,237) 208,760 114,818 74,550 189,368 |
|---|---|
-
(a) This represents the excess of the estimated fair value of intangible assets held by the Target Group at 30 June 2014 over their carrying amount, of RMB134,914,000. In the opinion of the Directors of the Company, the fair value of the intangible assets at 30 June 2014 is assumed to be RMB135,535,000, represented by the Target Group’s Patents of RMB42,836,000 and Customers’ Relationship of RMB92,699,000, which has taken into consideration of a valuation report at 30 June 2014, prepared using excess earning method under income approach by Roma Appraisals Limited (“ROMA”), a firm of independent qualified valuers not connected with the Group.

APPENDIX IV
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
intangible assets and goodwill. The Directors have confirmed that they will apply consistent accounting policies and principal assumptions as used in the valuation report and pro forma financial information to assess impairment of intangible assets and goodwill in subsequent reporting periods.
-
(d) On Completion, the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the Target Group and the fair value of the negative consideration, which represents shortfall between the future audited profits and the Guaranteed Profits for the four years ending 31 December 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 (note 5 below) will have to be reassessed. Accordingly, the value of the intangible assets and goodwill of the Target Group at the date of completion may be different from that presented above.
-
This represents the cash consideration of the Acquisition of RMB189,368,000 to be paid out by internal resources of the Group of RMB30,618,000 and bank borrowing of HKD200,000,000 (equivalent to approximately RMB158,750,000). In accordance with the Cooperation Agreement, the cash consideration is equal to 55% of the Adjusted 2013 Net Profit of RMB26,485,000 per stated in the consolidated statement of profit or loss in the Accountants’ Report of the Target Group as set out in Appendix II to this Circular, multiplied by 13.
Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, the Vendors have guaranteed to the Purchaser that the Net Profit will not be less than RMB29,134,000, RMB32,047,000, RMB35,252,000 and RMB38,777,000 (the “Guaranteed Profits”) for the four years ending 31 December 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively.
The Vendors and the Target Company have irrevocably agreed that the Vendors shall make cash reimbursement to the Purchaser within 18 Business Days from the date of issuance of the audited accounts of the Target Group for the relevant year, in the amount being the difference between the actual Net Profit and the Guaranteed Profits for that year, multiplied by 55%.
The directors of the Company has reviewed the profits forecast for 5 years prepared by the Target Company. As at the date of this Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the directors of the Company expect the results of the Target Group, as estimated in the profits forecast for 5 years, will not be less than the Guaranteed Profits. Accordingly the directors of the Company are of the opinion that the fair value of the contingent consideration receivable from the Vendors being the shortfall between the Net Profit and the Guaranteed Profits multiplied by 55% are considered to be zero.
-
This represents the total estimated acquisition-related costs for the Acquisition of the Target Group of approximately RMB2,473,000 which is to be incurred and to be charged to consolidated profit or loss upon the completion of the Acquisition.
-
This represents the elimination of registered paid-up capital and pre-acquisition reserves, and the recognition of non-controlling interests of the Target Company of RMB2,000,000, RMB92,083,000 and RMB93,942,000, respectively, upon Completion of the Acquisition.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
Basis of opinion
We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3420 “Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus” issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that the reporting accountant comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the directors have complied the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information in accordance with paragraph 29 of Chapter 4 of The Listing Rules and with reference to Accounting Guideline 7 “Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars” issued by the HKICPA.
For purpose of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.
The purpose of Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information included in an investment circular is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant event or transaction on unadjusted financial information of the Group as if the event had occurred or the transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purpose of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the event or transaction at the specific dates would have been as presented.
A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been properly compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the directors in the compilation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:
-
The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and
-
The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.
The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountant’s judgement, having regard to the reporting accountant’s understanding of the nature of the Group and the Target Group, the event or transaction in respect of which the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.
The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
