LETTER FROM THE BOARD

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JV GROUP

A summary of the consolidated financial information of the JV Group prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards is as follows:

For the period from
16 September
2009(1)to For the year ended
31 December 2010 31 December 2011
HK$ million HK$ million
Net loss before taxation and extraordinary items 2.27 0.47
Net loss after taxation and extraordinary items 2.27 0.47

Note (1): The Company first acquired interests of the JV Co on 16 September 2009.

According to the consolidated financial statements of the JV Group, the net liabilities of the JV Group as at 30 June 2012 were approximately HK$6,370,000. The net liabilities of the JV Co as at 30 June 2012 were approximately HK$20,000.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE TRANSACTION

The Company, via its shareholding in the Purchaser, acquired interests in the Property in November 2009 as an investment purpose by way of rental income on a 50% jointly-owned basis. For this purpose, the Purchaser entered into the Shareholders Agreement with the Seller back in September 2009.

The Directors consider that the acquisition of the balance 50% shareholding interest in the JV Co, which will enable the Group to hold the entire issued capital of the JV Co indirectly, provides a valuable investment opportunity for the Group to increase its property ownership at a reasonable price and enjoy rental income derived from the Property on a fully-owned basis at the same time. The Directors believe that the property business portfolio of the Group will be strengthened and enhanced by the acquisition.

The Directors consider that the Transaction is on normal commercial terms and that such terms are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Group intends to finance the Consideration by internal resources.

As at 31 March 2012, the audited consolidated total assets of the Group amounted to approximately HK$2,729.47 million.

As at 31 March 2012, the audited consolidated total liabilities of the Group amounted to approximately HK$1,360.28 million.

Assuming completion of the acquisition of the Sale Shares had taken place on the Completion Date, the unaudited pro forma consolidated total liabilities of the Enlarged Group would be approximately HK$1,773.22 million.

The Directors

National Electronics Holdings Limited

Dear Sirs,

We set out below our report on the financial information (the “Financial Information”) regarding Tania Investments Holdings Limited (the “JV Co”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “JV Group”) for the period from 16 September 2009 (date of incorporation) to 31 December 2009 and for each of the two years ended 31 December 2010 and 2011 and the six months ended 30 June 2012 (the “Relevant Periods”), for inclusion in the circular of National Electronics Holdings Limited (the “Company”) dated 13 September 2012 (the “Circular”) in connection with the proposed acquisition of 50% equity interest of the JV Co.

The JV Co was incorporated with limited liability in the British Virgin Islands (the “BVI”) on 16 September 2009. The JV Co acts as an investment holding company.

At the date of this report and during the Relevant Periods, the details of the subsidiaries comprising the JV Group are set out in Note 10 of Section A below.

No audited statutory financial statements have been prepared for the JV Co and Petstead Holdings Limited since their respective dates of incorporation as there is no such statutory audit requirement in the BVI.

The financial statements of Tania Development Limited (the “Project Company”) for the period from 17 September 2009 (date of incorporation) to 31 December 2010 and the year ended 31 December 2011 were audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers, Certified Public Accountants in Hong Kong.

For the purpose of this report, the directors of the JV Co have prepared the consolidated financial statements of the JV Group for the Relevant Periods (the “Underlying Financial Statements”) in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”).

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JV GROUP

APPENDIX III

We have undertaken 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 in accordance with the Auditing Guideline 3.340 ‘‘Prospectuses and the Reporting Accountant’’ as recommended by the HKICPA.

The Financial Information set out in this report has been prepared from the Underlying Financial Statements on the basis of presentation set out in Note 1 of Section A below and no adjustments to the Underlying Financial Statements are considered necessary in the preparation of this report for inclusion in the Circular.

The Underlying Financial Statements are the responsibility of the directors of the JV Co who approved their 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 independent opinion on the Financial Information and to report our opinion to you.

In our opinion, on the basis of presentation set out in Note 1 of Section A below, the Financial Information gives, for the purpose of this report, a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the JV Group and the JV Co as at 31 December 2009, 2010 and 2011, and 30 June 2012, and of the consolidated results and cash flows of the JV Group for the Relevants Periods.

The comparative consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of cash flows and consolidated statement of changes in equity of the JV Group for the six months ended 30 June 2011 together with the notes thereon have been extracted from the unaudited financial information of the JV Group for the same period (the “30 June 2011 Financial Information”) which was prepared by the directors of the JV Co solely for the purpose of this report. We have reviewed the 30 June 2011 Financial Information in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the HKICPA. Our review consists principally of making enquiries of the JV Group’s management and applying analytical and other review procedures to the 30 June 2011 Financial Information and based thereon, assessing whether the accounting policies and presentation have been consistently applied unless otherwise disclosed. A review excludes audit procedures such as tests of controls and verification of assets, liabilities and transactions. It is substantially less in scope than an audit and therefore provides a lower level of assurance than an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the 30 June 2011 Financial Information. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the 30 June 2011 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.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JV GROUP

APPENDIX III

Notes to the Financial Information

1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The JV Co was incorporated with limited liability in the British Virgin Islands on 16 September 2009. The address of the registered office and the principal place of business of the JV Co is P.O. Box 957, Offshore Incorporations Centre, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands. The JV Co acts as an investment holding company. The principal activity of its subsidiary is property development.

The Financial Information is presented in Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”), which is the same as the functional currency of the JV Co.

In preparing the Financial Information, the directors of the JV Co have given careful consideration to the liquidity position and going concern status of the JV Group. The JV Group incurred a net loss of approximately HK$125,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2012 and, as of that date, the JV Group’s total liabilities exceeded its total assets by approximately HK$6,372,000.

The Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis because the beneficial shareholder of the JV Co, National Electronics Holdings Limited, has agreed to provide adequate funds for the JV Group to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future.

2. APPLICATION OF HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

For the purpose of preparing and presenting the Financial Information for the Relevant Periods, the JV Group has throughout the Relevant Periods consistently applied Hong Kong Accounting Standards, Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, amendments and interpretations (collectively “HKFRSs”), which are effective for the JV Group’s financial year beginning on or after 16 September 2009.

At the date of this report, the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”) has issued the following new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations that are not yet effective. The JV Group has not early applied these standards, amendments and interpretation.

Amendments to HKFRSs Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2009-2011 Cycle[2] Amendments to HKFRS 1 Severe Hyperinflation and Removal of Fixed Dates for First-time Adopters[1] Amendments to HKFRS 1 Government Loans[2] Amendments to HKFRS 7 Disclosure — Transfers of Financial Assets[1] Amendments to HKFRS 7 Disclosure — Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities[2] Amendments to HKFRS 9 Mandatory Effective Date of HKFRS 9 and Transition and HKFRS 7 Disclosures[3]

Amendments to HKFRS Consolidated Financial Statements, Joint Arrangements and 10, HKFRS 11 and Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities: Transition Guidance[2] HKFRS 12 HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments[3] HKFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements[2] HKFRS 11 Joint Arrangements[2] HKFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities[2] HKFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement[2] Amendments to HKAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income[5] Amendments to HKAS 12 Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets[4] HKAS 19 (Revised in Employee Benefits[2] 2011) HKAS 27 (Revised in Separate Financial Statements[2] 2011) HKAS 28 (Revised in Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures[2] 2011) Amendments to HKAS 32 Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities[6] HK(IFRIC) — Int 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine[2]

  • 1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011.

  • 2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

  • 3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

  • 4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012.

  • 5 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012.

  • 6 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.

The amendments to HKAS 32 clarify existing application issues relating to the offsetting requirements. Specifically, the amendments clarify the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off” and “simultaneous realization and settlement”.

The amendments to HKFRS 7 require entities to disclose information about rights of offset and related arrangements (such as collateral posting requirements) for financial instruments under an enforceable master netting agreement or similar arrangement.

The amended offsetting disclosures are required for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods. The disclosures should also be provided retrospectively for all comparative periods. However, the amendments to HKAS 32 are not effective until annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014, with retrospective application required.

HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments (as issued in November 2009) introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. HKFRS 9 Financial instruments (as revised in October 2010) adds the new requirements for the financial liabilities and for derecognition.

Under HKFRS 9, all recognized financial assets that are within the scope of HKAS 39 Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement are subsequently measured at either amortized cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that are held within a business model whose objective is to

— III-11 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JV GROUP

APPENDIX III

collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortized cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent accounting periods.

In relation to financial liabilities, the significant change relates to financial liabilities that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss. Specifically, under HKFRS 9, for financial liabilities that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss, the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income, unless the presentation of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability’s credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Currently, under HKAS 39, the entire amount of the change in the fair value of the financial liability designated as at fair value through profit or loss is recognized in profit or loss.

HKFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015, with earlier application permitted. The directors of the JV Co anticipate that the application of HKFRS 9 may have significant impact on amounts reported in respect of the JV Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities.

HKFRS 10 replaces the parts of HKAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that deal with consolidated financial statements and HK(SIC)-Int 12 Consolidation — Special Purpose Entities . HKFRS 10 includes a new definition of control that contains three elements: (a) power over an investee, (b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and (c) ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns. Extensive guidance has been added in HKFRS 10 to deal with complex scenarios.

HKFRS 12 requires the disclosure of information that enables users of financial statements to evaluate the nature of, and risks associated with, its interests in other entities and the effects of those interests on its financial position, financial performance and cash flows. HKFRS 12 is required to be applied by an entity that has an interest in subsidiaries, joint arrangements (joint operations or joint ventures), associates and unconsolidated structured entities.

The HKFRS 10 and HKFRS 12 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The directors of the JV Co anticipate that the HKFRS 10 and HKFRS 12 will be adopted in the JV Group’s consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning 1 January 2013. The directors of the JV Co have not yet performed a detailed analysis of the impact of the application of these standards to the JV Group but considered that application of these standards would have no significant impact on the JV Group.

HKFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The scope of HKFRS 13 is broad; it applies to both financial instrument items and non-financial instrument items for which other HKFRSs require or permit fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements, except in specified circumstances. In general, the disclosure requirements in HKFRS 13 are more

— III-12 —

APPENDIX III

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JV GROUP

extensive than those in the current standards. For example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the three-level fair value hierarchy currently required for financial instruments only under HKFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures will be extended by HKFRS 13 to cover all assets and liabilities within its scope.

HKFRS 13 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, with earlier application permitted. The directors of the JV Co anticipate that HKFRS 13 will be adopted in the JV Group’s consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning 1 January 2013 and that the application of the standard may affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and result in more extensive disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

The amendments to HKAS 1 retain the option to present profit or loss and other comprehensive income in either a single statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. However, the amendments to HKAS 1 require additional disclosures to be made in the other comprehensive income section such that items of other comprehensive income are grouped into two categories: (a) items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (b) items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. Income tax on items of other comprehensive income is required to be allocated on the same basis.

The amendments to HKAS 1 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012. The presentation of items of other comprehensive income will be modified accordingly when the amendments are applied in the future accounting periods.

The directors of the JV Co anticipate that the application of the other new or revised standards, amendments and interpretations may not have material effect on the results and the financial position of the JV Group.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA.

In addition, the Financial Information includes applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”) and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

The Financial Information has been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured of fair values, as explained in the accounting policies set out below.

The principal accounting policies are set out below.

Basis of consolidation

The Financial Information incorporates the financial statements of the JV Co and entities controlled by the JV Co (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the JV Co has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

— III-13 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JV GROUP

APPENDIX III

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the JV Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Investment in a subsidiary

Investment in a subsidiary is included in the statement of financial position of the JV Co at cost less any identified impairment loss. The results of the subsidiary are accounted for by the JV Co on the basis of dividend received and receivable.

Revenue recognition

Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the JV Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Foreign currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are recorded in the respective functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates) at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended

— III-14 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JV GROUP

APPENDIX III

use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.

All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The JV Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Financial Information and the corresponding tax base used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the JV Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of the reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realized, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the JV Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Current and deferred tax is recognized in profit or loss, except when it relates to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

Properties under development

Properties under development comprise land cost, development expenditure and borrowing costs capitalized, and are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Properties under development included in the current assets are expected to be realized in, or is intended for sale in the JV Group’s normal operating cycle.

Impairment losses on tangible assets

At the end of the reporting period, the JV Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the JV Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell 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 the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or a cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or a cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized as income immediately.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the JV Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that the JV Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provision are measured at the best estimate of the

— III-16 —

APPENDIX III

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JV GROUP

consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect of the time value of money is material).

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Financial assets

The JV Group’s financial assets are classified into loans and receivables. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Interest income is recognized on an effective interest basis for debt instruments.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including deposits, amount due from a subsidiary and bank balances) are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses (see the accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below).

— III-17 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JV GROUP

APPENDIX III

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of the reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have been affected.

Objective evidence of impairment could include:

  • significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or

  • breach of contract, such as default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or

  • it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organization; or

  • disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognized is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

For financial assets measured at amortized cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment losses was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the JV Group after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the JV Co are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

— III-18 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JV GROUP

APPENDIX III

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Interest expense is recognized on an effective interest basis.

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities (including accruals and interest payables, amounts due to shareholders and bank borrowings) are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Derivative financial instruments and hedging

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of the reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship.

Hedge accounting

The JV Group designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments for cash flow hedges.

At the inception of the hedging relationship the entity documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the JV Group documents whether the hedging instrument that is used in a hedging relationship is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item.

Cash flow hedges

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in hedging reserve. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity (hedging reserve) are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item is recognized in profit or loss, in the same line of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as the recognized hedged item.

— III-19 —

APPENDIX III

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JV GROUP

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the JV Group revokes the hedging relationship, the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Any gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognized when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognized in profit or loss. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Derecognition

The JV Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the JV Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the JV Group continues to recognize the asset to the extent of its continuing involvement and recognizes an associated liability. If the JV Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the JV Group continues to recognize the financial asset and also recognizes a collateralized borrowing for the proceeds received.

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognized in profit or loss.

On derecognition of a financial asset other than in its entirety, the JV Group allocates the previous carrying amount of the financial asset between the part it continues to recognize, and the part it no longer recognizes on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part that is no longer recognized and the sum of the consideration received for the part no longer recognized and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss. A cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is allocated between the part that continues to be recognized and the part that is no longer recognized on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts.

The JV Group derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the JV Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss.

4. KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the JV Group’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 3, the directors of the JV Co are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

— III-20 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JV GROUP

APPENDIX III

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized 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.

The following are the key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Provision for properties under development

The JV Group assesses the carrying amounts of properties under development according to their recoverable amounts based on the reliability of these properties, taking into account estimated costs to completion and estimated net sales/rental value based on prevailing market conditions. Provision is made when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be realized. The assessment requires the use of judgement and estimates.

5. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The JV Group’s operating activities are attributable to a single operating segment focusing on the property development. This operating segment has been identified on the basis of internal management reports, prepared in accordance with HKFRSs, that are regularly reviewed by the directors of JV Co, for allocating resources to the segment and assessing its performance. The directors of the JV Co review the JV Group’s loss for the period/year as a whole for performance assessment.

There is no revenue during the Relevant Periods and all assets of the JV Group are located in Hong Kong, therefore no geographical information is presented.

The JV Group manages its capital to ensure that the entities in the JV Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to shareholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. The JV Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged throughout the Relevant Periods.

The capital structure of the JV Group consists of net debt (which includes amounts due to shareholders and bank borrowings net of cash and cash equivalents) and equity attributable to owners of the JV Co (comprising issued share capital and reserves).

The directors of the JV Co review the capital structure regularly. As part of this review, the JV Co’s directors consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of the capital. Based on recommendations of the directors, the JV Group will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends and new share issues as well as the issue of new debt or the redemption of existing debt.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JV GROUP

APPENDIX III

(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies

The JV Group’s major financial instruments include bank balances, amounts due to shareholders and bank borrowings. The JV Co’s major financial instruments include amount due from a subsidiary and amounts due to shareholders. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments include interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

Interest rate risk

The JV Group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to variable-rate bank borrowings (see Note 15 for details of these borrowings) and receive-fixed interest rate swap. It is the JV Group’s policy to keep its borrowings at fixed rate of interests so as to minimize the cash flow interest rate risk. In order to achieve this result, the JV Group entered into interest rate swap to hedge against its exposures to variable interest rate of the borrowings. The critical terms of this interest rate swap are similar to those of hedged borrowings. This interest rate swap is designated as effective hedging instruments and hedge accounting is used (see Note 16 for details).

The JV Group cash flow interest rate risk is mainly concentrated on the fluctuation of HIBOR arising from the JV Group’s Hong Kong dollar denominated borrowings.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for derivative instruments. The analysis is prepared assuming the financial instruments outstanding at the end of the reporting period were outstanding for the whole period. A 100 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

If interest rates had been 100 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the JV Group’s equity would increase/decrease by approximately HK$7,060,000, HK$4,317,000 and HK$2,878,000 at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 30 June 2012 respectively, mainly as a result of the changes in the fair value of interest rate swap.

Credit risk

At the end of each reporting period, the JV Group’s and the JV Co’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the JV Group and the JV Co due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties is arising from the carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the consolidated statements of financial position and the statement of financial position.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparty is a bank with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JV GROUP

APPENDIX III

Other than concentration of credit risk on liquid funds which are deposits with a bank with high credit ratings, the JV Group does not have any other significant concentration of credit risk.

At 31 December 2009, 2010 and 2011 and 30 June 2012, the JV Co has concentration of credit risk in relation to amount due from a subsidiary. The JV Co’s credit risk position is monitored closely by management of the JV Co.

Liquidity risk

In the management of the liquidity risk, the JV Group and the JV Co monitor and maintain a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the JV Group’s and the JV Co’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. Management monitors the utilization of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants.

The JV Group had net liabilities at 30 June 2012, which exposed the JV Group to liquidity risk. In order to mitigate the liquidity risk, the beneficial shareholder has agreed to provide adequate funds for the JV Group to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future.

The following tables detail the JV Group’s and the JV Co’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the JV Group and the JV Co can be required to pay. The maturity dates for non-derivative financial liabilities are based on the agreed repayment dates.

The tables include both interest and principal cash flows. To the extent that interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from the interest rate curve at the end of the reporting period.

In addition, the following table details the JV Group’s liquidity analysis for its derivative financial instruments. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted contractual net cash (inflows) and outflows on derivative instruments that settle on a net basis, and the undiscounted gross (inflows) and outflows on those derivatives that require gross settlement. When the amount payable is not fixed, the amount disclosed has been determined by reference to the projected interest rates as illustrated by the yield curves existing at the end of the reporting period. The liquidity analysis for the JV Group’s derivative financial instruments are prepared based on the contractual maturities as the management consider that the contractual maturities are essential for an understanding of the timing of the cash flows of derivatives.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JV GROUP

APPENDIX III

(c) Fair value

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:

  • the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding derivative instruments) is determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis; and

  • the fair values of derivative instruments is calculated using quoted prices. Where such prices are not available, use is made of discounted cash flow analysis using the applicable yield curve of interest rates as determined by counterparty financial institution.

The directors of the JV Co consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortized costs in the Financial Information approximate their fair values.

Fair value measurements recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position

The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.

  • Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical assets or liabilities.

  • Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

  • Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The balances have been extracted from the audited consolidated statement of financial position of the JV Group as at 30 June 2012 as set out in Appendix III to this circular.

  3. The adjustment represents payment of the cash consideration of HK$250,000,000 as set out in the Sale and Purchase Agreement, and the estimated transaction costs of the Proposed Acquisition of approximately HK$1,000,000 by the Group from its internal resources. The increase in amount due from the JV Group of approximately HK$111,499,000 is due to the assignment of shareholder’s loan upon the Completion.

  4. The identifiable assets and liabilities of the JV Group acquired by the Group will be accounted for in the consolidated financial statements of the Enlarged Group at fair value under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards 3 (Revised) “Business Combinations” (“HKFRS 3”).

APPENDIX V

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

For the purposes of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the allocation of the purchase price is determined based on the Director’s estimates of the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the JV Group as at 31 March 2012 and with reference to an property valuation reported dated 6 September 2012 on the fair value of the properties under development as held by the JV Group. The property valuation is prepared with reference to comparable sales transactions available in the market.

The actual fair values of the assets and liabilities will be determined as of the date of acquisition and may differ materially from the amounts disclosed in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information because of changes in fair values of the assets and liabilities to the date of the transaction, and as further analysis is completed. Consequently, the actual allocation of the purchase price will likely result in different amounts that those in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.

In accordance with HKFRS 3, the Group’s existing 50% equity interest in the JV Group will be remeasured at fair value as at the date of acquisition and any difference between the fair value of the original 50% equity interest in the JV Group as at the date of acquisition and the carrying amount of such interest that was equity accounted for in the consolidated financial statement of the Group as at the date of acquisition will be recognized in the consolidated income statement of the Group as a gain or loss.

For the purposes of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the fair value of the Group’s previously held 50% equity interest in the JV Group is estimated based on the consideration for the purchase of the additional 50% equity interest.

On Completion, the actual fair value of the Group’s previously held 50% equity interest will have to be reassessed and accordingly, its fair value at the date of Completion will be different from the amount disclosed in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.

  • (i) This adjustment represents the consolidation entry to eliminate the share capital of the JV Group and pre-acquisition reserves on consolidation;

  • (ii) This adjustment represents the elimination of balance receivable and payable between the Group and the JV Group amounting to approximately HK$222,999,000;

  • (iii) This adjustment relates to the recognition of:

  • fair value adjustment of approximately HK$528,002,000 on properties under development held by the JV Group.

HK$’000
Book value of properties under development as set out in Appendix III to this circular 541,998
Market value of properties under development as set out in Appendix II to this circular 1,070,000
Fair value adjustment 528,002
  • fair value gain arising from the remeasurement of the Group’s previously held 50% equity interest in the JV Group of approximately HK$250,000,000 and bargain purchase gain of approximately HK$46,009,000, being the excess amount of the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the JV Group over the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the fair value of the Group’s previously held 50% equity interest in the JV Group. The amount of bargain purchase gain would change depending on the fair values of the identifiable net assets of the JV Group and the Group’s previously held 50% equity interest in the JV Group determined at the date of Completion.
