Dear Sir or Madam,

MAJOR TRANSACTION

1. INTRODUCTION

References are made to the announcements of the Company dated 28 April 2014 and 29 April 2014 in relation to the agreements to, among other things, repurchase the JVCo2 Sale Shares and the JVCo3 Sale Shares.

On 28 April 2014, the Company (through its wholly-owned subsidiaries) entered into agreements to, among other things, repurchase the JVCo2 Sale Shares and the JVCo3 Sale Shares. Pursuant to Rule 14.22 of the Listing Rules, the JVCo2 Acquisition and the JVCo3 Acquisition shall be aggregated in the calculation of the percentage ratios (as defined in the Listing Rules). As the relevant percentage ratios on an aggregate basis exceed 25% but are less than 100%, the Acquisitions constitute a major transaction of the Company and are therefore subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. Further, the payment of the Initial Deposits will, in and of itself, constitute a major transaction of the Company that is subject to the above requirements.

The Company has obtained a written approval from Brentford Investments Limited, which held 237,102,979 Shares as at the date of the Announcement (representing approximately 25.21% of the issued share capital of the Company), and from Fenmore Investments Limited, which held

— 6 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

250,637,835 Shares as at the date of the Announcement (representing approximately 26.65% of the issued share capital of the Company), for the approval of the transactions contemplated under the Documents (including but not limited to the Acquisitions, the payment of the Initial Deposits and Further Deposits, and the waiver of the JVCo1 Right of First Offer). As such no general meeting will be convened by the Company to approve such matters.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with further information on the Acquisitions.

2. JVCO2 AGREEMENT

Date: 28 April 2014

Parties: JVCo2 Seller: GCPF Cayman Holding 10 Corp., an investment holding company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of a real estate fund which is the same fund that owns JVCo3 Seller

JVCo2 Purchaser: Verde Group Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, JVCo2 Seller and its ultimate beneficial owners are Independent Third Parties.

Assets to be acquired

Pursuant to the JVCo2 Agreement, JVCo2 Seller agreed to sell the JVCo2 Sale Shares, and assign the benefit of the JVCo2 Shareholder Loan, to JVCo2 Purchaser for a total consideration of HK$219,347,587. The JVCo2 Sale Shares represent 73% of the total issued share capital of JVCo2. JVCo2 owns all the shares of Batilone, which in turn owns the JVCo2 Property.

The JVCo2 Property is a boutique hotel located at No. 89 Jervois Street in Hong Kong, currently known as “The Jervois”. The JVCo2 Property was completed in March 2011 when the occupation permit was issued by the Building Authority of Hong Kong, and commenced operation in November 2011.

Consideration and payment terms

The total consideration for the JVCo2 Acquisition is HK$219,347,587, which comprises of the consideration payable for the JVCo2 Sale Shares and the consideration payable for the assignment of the JVCo2 Shareholder Loan. The JVCo2 Consideration will be satisfied by payment of an equivalent amount in United States dollars in cash to JVCo2 Seller in the following manner:

  • (a) the JVCo2 Initial Deposit, which represents 60% of the JVCo2 Consideration, is payable to JVCo2 Seller upon the signing of the JVCo2 Agreement (such amount has already been paid by JVCo2 Purchaser to JVCo2 Seller after the Company’s receipt of the Shareholders’ Approval);

— 7 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (b) the JVCo2 Further Deposit, which represents 30% of the JVCo2 Consideration, is payable to JVCo2 Seller on or before 27 August 2014; and

  • (c) the balance of the JVCo2 Consideration, being HK$21,934,759 and representing 10% of the JVCo2 Consideration, is payable to JVCo2 Seller on the JVCo2 Completion Date.

If JVCo2 Purchaser is in breach of its obligations under (b) above, then JVCo2 Seller may by notice to JVCo2 Purchaser terminate the JVCo2 Agreement.

The JVCo2 Consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiation between the parties with reference to, among other things, the fair value of the JVCo2 Property, being HK$510,000,000, and the net asset value of JVCo2, being approximately HK$287,541,000 (73% of which is equal to approximately HK$209,905,000), both as at 31 December 2013. As disclosed in the Company’s earlier circular of 27 June 2011, the fair value of the JVCo2 Property as at 30 April 2011 was HK$343,000,000, and the JVCo2 Purchaser had in 2011 sold the JVCo2 Sale Shares to the JVCo2 Seller for a consideration of HK$110,960,000. In the present transaction, the JVCo2 Consideration is HK$219,347,587. The difference between the two consideration amounts was primarily due to the appreciation in market value of the JVCo2 Property and the improvements in the state of the JVCo2 Property.

The Directors consider that the JVCo2 Consideration is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

The JVCo2 Purchaser will use all reasonable endeavours (so far as it lies within its powers) to procure the satisfaction of the above condition precedent as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event before the JVCo2 Longstop Date.

If the condition above has not been satisfied on or before the JVCo2 Longstop Date then JVCo2 Purchaser may on that date, at its option (but without prejudice to any other right or remedy it may have): (i) postpone the JVCo2 Longstop Date to a date (being a Business Day) as may be agreed between the parties in writing; or (ii) terminate the JVCo2 Agreement.

As disclosed in the Company’s earlier circular of 27 June 2011, the fair value of the JVCo3 Property as at 30 April 2011 was HK$341,000,000, and the JVCo3 Purchaser had in 2011 sold the JVCo3 Sale Shares to the JVCo3 Seller for a consideration of HK$140,160,000.

For further details regarding the financial information of the JVCo2 Group and JVCo3 Group, please refer to Appendix III to this Circular.

7. REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITIONS

The Directors consider that the acquisition of the remaining 73% shareholding interest in JVCo2 and JVCo3, which will enable the Group to hold the entire issued capital of JVCo2 and JVCo3, provides a valuable investment opportunity for the Group to increase its property ownership at a reasonable price and enjoy revenue income derived from JVCo2 Property and JVCo3 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 Acquisitions.

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

The Group intends to finance the Acquisitions by bank financing and internal resources.

8. FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITIONS

Earnings

Upon completion of the Acquisitions, each of JVCo2 and JVCo3 will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The results of the JVCo2 Group and JVCo3 Group will be consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Group following the completion of the Acquisitions.

According to the audited consolidated income statement for the year ended 31 March 2013 as per page 26 of the Annual Report 2013 of the Company, the profit for the year ended 31 March 2013 of the Group was approximately HK$296.22 million.

Assuming completion of the Acquisitions had taken place on 1 April 2012, the unaudited profit of the Enlarged Group for the year ended 31 March 2013 would be approximately HK$306.06 million, after taking into consideration the unaudited profit for the year ended 31 March 2013 of the JVCo2 Group (approximately HK$3.92 million) and the JVCo3 Group (approximately HK$9.55 million).

9. IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

Pursuant to Rule 14.22 of the Listing Rules, the Stock Exchange will aggregate a series of acquisitions and treat them as if they were one transaction if they are all completed within a 12-month period or are otherwise related. In this regard, the JVCo2 Acquisition and JVCo3 Acquisition shall be aggregated in the calculation of the percentage ratios (as defined in the Listing Rules).

As the relevant percentage ratios on an aggregate basis exceed 25% but are less than 100%, the Acquisitions constitute a major transaction of the Company and are therefore subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. Further, the payment of the Initial Deposits will, in and of itself, constitute a major transaction of the Company that is subject to the above requirements.

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholders or any of their respective associates have any material interest in the transactions contemplated under the Documents (including but not limited to the Acquisitions, the payment of the Initial Deposits and Further Deposits, and the waiver of the JVCo1 Right of First Offer). As such, no Shareholder would be required to abstain from voting under the Listing Rules if the Company were to convene a general meeting for the approval of such matters.

— 15 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company has a closely allied group of Shareholders which together hold approximately 51.86% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the Announcement. Pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules, the Company has obtained a written approval from Brentford Investments Limited, which held 237,102,979 Shares as at the date of the Announcement (representing approximately 25.21% of the issued share capital of the Company), and from Fenmore Investments Limited, which held 250,637,835 Shares as at the date of the Announcement (representing approximately 26.65% of the issued share capital of the Company), for the approval of the transactions contemplated under the Documents (including but not limited to the Acquisitions, the payment of the Initial Deposits and Further Deposits, and the waiver of the JVCo1 Right of First Offer). The said 237,102,979 Shares held by Brentford Investments Limited are part of the property of a discretionary trust of which each of Messrs. James Lee Yuen Kui and Edward Lee Yuen Cheor are named beneficiaries. The said 250,637,835 Shares held by Fenmore Investments Limited are part of the property of a discretionary trust of which Mr. Jimmy Lee Yuen Ching and his family members including Mr. Loewe Lee Bon Chi are named beneficiaries. Messrs. James Lee Yuen Kui and Messrs. Edward Lee Yuen Cheor are brothers and they are cousins of Mr. Jimmy Lee Yuen Ching, who is the father of Mr. Loewe Lee Bon Chi.

As such, no general meeting will be convened by the Company to approve such matters. If, despite the said written approval from Brentford Investments Limited and Fenmore Investments Limited having been obtained, voting was required and the Company held a general meeting for the approval of the transactions contemplated under the Documents (including but not limited to the Acquisitions, the payment of the Initial Deposits and Further Deposits, and the waiver of the JVCo1 Right of First Offer), the Directors would have recommended that the Shareholders vote in favour of such approval.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

Watches and Watch Components

The turnover and profit of the Group’s watch manufacturing and watch component trading division decreased slightly due to the continued escalation of manufacturing costs in China coupled with the slow recovery of the European and U.S. economies.

The continued weakness and instability of the European Union’s financial status, the fragile U.S. economic recovery and the potential slowdown of growth in China will affect consumer demand that may persist this coming year. This will have a negative impact on the Group’s watch manufacturing and watch component trading business.

The Group is cautious on the performance of its watch manufacturing and watch component trading business in this coming financial year.

Property Development and Investment

The Group’s three jont venture boutique hotel apartments, with a real estate fund managed by JP Morgan Asset Management, including JVCo2 Property and JVCo3 Property received good market reviews and achieved satisfactory occupancy rates. Please refer to Appendix VI Management Discussion and Analysis of the JVCo2 Group and JVCo3 Group and the Group for an update in regards The Jervois and 99 Bonham, viz, the JVCo2 Property and the JVCo3 Property. The Group’s own boutique hotel apartment, The Putman, located at 202 Queen’s Road Central, maintained a high occupancy rate and leasing interest remained strong. As a result, the Group’s hotel operation division enjoyed double digit increase in terms of turnover and profit.

The introduction of the Special Stamp Duty, the Buyer’s Stamp Duty and Double Stamp Duty together with the tightening of bank mortgage loan financing for property buyers continue to affect the transaction volume and price level of the property market. However, with regards to the recent high price transactions for luxury houses, the sentiment of the luxury residential market in Hong Kong has become positive on the back of limited supply and strong demand.

The Group remains optimistic about Hong Kong’s medium and long term real estate market and will continue to look for attractive acquisition opportunities.

The superstructure of the Group’s wholly owned boutique hotel apartment development at 194 — 196 Queen’s Road Central was completed and the project is expected to launch in the second half of 2014.

On 14 November 2012, the Group completed its purchase of House No. C36, Regalia Bay, No. 88 Wong Ma Kok Road, Hong Kong for long term investment purpose.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

On 27 September 2012, the Group completed the purchase of the outstanding 50% shareholding in Tania Investments Holdings Limited, previously a jointly controlled entity with a real estate fund managed by J. P. Morgan Asset Management which indirectly owns the residential property located at 45 Tai Tam Road, Hong Kong. The site formation and foundation work of the Group’s wholly owned luxurious residential development project at 45 Tai Tam Road was completed in preparation for the commencement of the superstructure works.

On 11 June 2012, Century Land Limited, which the Group owns 20% of its issued share capital, completed the transaction with the Agricultural Bank of China on the sale of its Grade A commercial investment property situated at 50 Connaught Road Central for HK$4.88 billion. The result was very satisfactory and the profit contribution of this investment property had been accounted for over the past few years.

Also in June 2012, the Group launched Twenty One Whitfield, its joint venture boutique hotel apartment, with a real estate fund managed by J.P. Morgan Asset Management located at 21 Whitfield Road, Hong Kong. It was the Group’s first hotel apartment in the Causeway Bay / North Point location and the result has been satisfactory.

Notes:

  • (1) The registered owner of the property is Asiatic Limited.

  • (2) The property is subject to a Debenture and Mortgage in favour of Hang Seng Bank Limited vide Memorial No. 12031202470175 dated 17th February, 2012.

  • (3) The property is subject to an Order No. C/TA/003650/13/HK issued by the Building Authority under Section 24(1) of the Buildings Ordinance vide Memorial No. 13111501240206 dated 28th October, 2013. The Building Authority requested the registered owner of the property to carry out reinstatement works on portions of the ground and first floors of the subject hotel, which are currently occupied by a tenant. As informed by the Companies, the costs of reinstatement works would be borne by the tenant in full and would not have any financial impact to the Companies. We do not consider that the Order will affect the value of the subject hotel, and have therefore disregarded the Order and have not taken into account the costs of reinstatement works in the course of our valuation.

  • (4) The property is subject to a Supplement to Debenture and Mortgage in favour of Hang Seng Bank Limited vide Memorial No. 13122402170159 dated 4th December, 2013.

  • (5) The property is zoned for “Commercial” use under Sai Ying Pun & Sheung Wan Outline Zoning Plan No. S/H3/29.

  • (6) We would stress that the subject site (with an area of approximately 2,059 sq.ft.) together with the adjoining lot (the Remaining Portion of Marine Lot No. 151 (formerly known as No. 99 Bonham Strand) with an area of approximately 684 sq.ft.) have been developed into an integrated hotel development currently known as “99 Bonham”. In the course of our valuation, we have firstly assessed the market value of the above-mentioned hotel with a total gross floor area of approximately 41,131 sq.ft. (3,821.16 sq.m.), as at 28th April, 2014, which was HK$635,000,000. As the government lease restrictions and zoning control are virtually the same in respect of the subject and the adjoining site, we have apportioned HK$635,000,000 in accordance with the ratio of respective site areas of the two sites. We must emphasize that the apportionment figures may not essentially represent the market value of the respective sites if they were developed separately and individually.

Notes:

  • (1) The registered owner of the property is Lens Limited.

  • (2) The property is subject to a Debenture and Mortgage in favour of Hang Seng Bank Limited vide Memorial No. 12031202470175 dated 17th February, 2012.

  • (3) The property is subject to an Order No. C/TA/003650/13/HK issued by the Building Authority under Section 24(1) of the Buildings Ordinance vide Memorial No. 13111501240206 dated 28th October, 2013. The Building Authority requested the registered owner of the property to carry out reinstatement works on portions of the ground and first floors of the subject hotel, which are currently occupied by a tenant. As informed by the Companies, the costs of reinstatement works would be borne by the tenant in full and would not have any financial impact to the Companies. We do not consider that the Order will affect the value of the subject hotel, and have therefore disregarded the Order and have not taken into account the costs of reinstatement works in the course of our valuation.

  • (4) The property is subject to a Supplement to Debenture and Mortgage in favour of Hang Seng Bank Limited vide Memorial No. 13122402170159 dated 4th December, 2013.

  • (5) The property is zoned for “Commercial” use under Sai Ying Pun & Sheung Wan Outline Zoning Plan No. S/H3/29.

  • (6) We would stress that the subject site (with an area of approximately 684 sq.ft.) together with the adjoining lots (the Remaining Portions of Marine Lot No. 152 and Marine Lot No. 153 and the Remaining Portion of Section A of Marine Lot No. 153 (formerly known as Nos. 101-103 Bonham Strand and No. 127 Wing Lok Street) with an area of approximately 2,059 sq.ft.) have been developed into an integrated hotel development currently known as “99 Bonham”. In the course of our valuation, we have firstly assessed the market value of the above-mentioned hotel with a total gross floor area of approximately 41,131 sq.ft. (3,821.16 sq.m.), as at 28th April, 2014, which was HK$635,000,000. As the government lease restrictions and zoning control are virtually the same in respect of the subject and the adjoining site, we have apportioned HK$635,000,000 in accordance with the ratio of respective site areas of the two sites. We must emphasize that the apportionment figures may not essentially represent the market value of the respective sites if they were developed separately and individually.

The Directors National Electronics Holdings Limited

Dear Sirs,

We set out below our report on the financial information (the “Financial Information”) regarding Smart Plus Group Limited (“JVCo2”) and its subsidiary (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “JVCo2 Group”) for each of the three years ended 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013 (the “Relevant Periods”), for inclusion in the circular of National Electronics Holdings Limited (the “Company”) dated 16 June 2014 (the “Circular”) in connection with the proposed acquisition of 73% equity interest in JVCo2.

JVCo2 was incorporated with limited liability in the British Virgin Islands (the “BVI”) on 21 January 2011. Pursuant to a group reorganization (the “Reorganization”) as set out in Note 1 to the Financial Information, which was completed on 24 May 2011, JVCo2 became the holding company of the subsidiary comprising the JVCo 2 Group.

At the date of this report, JVCo2 has direct interest in a subsidiary as set out in Note 13 to the Financial Information. In 2011, JVCo2 and its subsidiary have changed their financial year end date from 31 March to 31 December.

No audited statutory financial statements have been prepared for JVCo2 since its date of incorporation as there is no statutory audit requirement in the BVI.

The statutory financial statements of Batilone Limited (“Batilone”) for the period from 1 April 2011 to 31 December 2011 and for each of the two years ended 31 December 2012 and 2013 were prepared in accordance with the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”) and were audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers, Certified Public Accountants in Hong Kong.

For the purpose of this report, the directors of JVCo2 have prepared the consolidated financial statements of the JVCo2 Group for the Relevant Periods (the “Underlying Financial Statements”) in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO2 GROUP

APPENDIX IV

Notes to the Financial Information

1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

JVCo2 was incorporated with limited liability in the BVI on 21 January 2011. Its parent is GCPF Cayman Holding 10 Corp., a company incorporated in Cayman Islands and its ultimate parent is JPMorgan Greater China Property Fund Cayman Master, L.P., a Cayman Islands Exempted Limited Partnership. The addresses of the registered office and the principal place of business of JVCo2 are P.O. Box 957, Offshore Incorporations Centre, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands and Suite 3201, Gloucester Tower, The Landmark, 11 Pedder Street, Central, Hong Kong respectively. JVCo2 acts as an investment holding company. The principal activity of its subsidiary is property development and investment.

Pursuant to a reorganization agreement dated 24 May 2011, JVCo2 acquired the entire interest in Batilone from Chirac Limited (“Chirac”) by issuing and allotting 1,000 shares of US$1 each to Chirac. Thereafter, JVCo2 has become the holding company of the JVCo2 Group. The companies now comprising the JVCo2 Group were under common control before and after the Reorganization. Accordingly, the Financial Information have been prepared using the principles of merger accounting in accordance with Accounting Guideline 5 “Merger Accounting for Common Control Combinations”.

The consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows are prepared as if the current group structure had been in existence throughout the Relevant Periods, or since the respective dates of incorporation where this is a shorter period. The consolidated statements of financial position as at 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013 present the assets and liabilities of the companies now comprising the JVCo2 Group as if the current group structure had been in existence at those dates.

The Financial Information is presented in Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”), which is also the functional currency of JVCo2.

In preparing the Financial Information, the directors of JVCo2 have given careful consideration to the liquidity position and going concern status of the JVCo2 Group. As at 31 December 2013, the JVCo2 Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately HK$223,175,000. The Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis because the beneficial shareholder of JVCo2, National Electronics Holdings Limited, has agreed to provide adequate funds for the JVCo2 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 JVCo2 Group has consistently applied Hong Kong Accounting Standards, Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, amendments and interpretations (collectively referred to as the “HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”), which are effective for the accounting period beginning on 1 January 2013 throughout the Relevant Periods.

— IV-10 —

APPENDIX IV FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO2 GROUP

The JVCo2 Group has not early applied the following new and revised HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective:

Amendments to HKFRSs Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle[1] Amendments to HKFRSs Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle[2] HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments[2] HKFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts[5] Amendments to HKFRS 9 Mandatory Effective Date of HKFRS 9 and Transition and HKFRS 7 Disclosures[2] Amendments to HKFRS Investment Entities[1] 10, HKFRS 12 and HKAS 27 Amendments to HKAS 19 Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions[1] Amendments to HKAS 32 Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabiliites[1] Amendments to HKAS 36 Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-financial Assets[1] Amendments to HKAS 39 Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting[1] HK(IFRIC) — Int 21 Levies[1]

1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014, with earlier application permitted.

2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014.

3 Available for application — the mandatory effective date will be determined when the outstanding phases of HKFRS 9 are finalised.

  • 4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014, with limited exceptions. 5 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016.

The directors of JVCo2 anticipate that the application of the new and revised HKFRSs will have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the JVCo2 Group.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out below which conform 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 and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

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

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the JVCo2 Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability

— IV-11 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO2 GROUP

APPENDIX IV

at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in this Financial Information is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of HKFRS 2, leasing transactions that are within the scope of HKAS 17, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in HKAS 2 or value in use in HKAS 36.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

  • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

  • Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The principal accounting policies are set out below.

Basis of consolidation

The Financial Information incorporate the financial statements of JVCo2 and entities controlled by JVCo2. Control is achieved when JVCo2:

  • has power over the investee;

  • is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

  • has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

The JVCo2 Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

When the JVCo2 Group has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The JVCo2 Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the JVCo2 Group’s voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:

  • the size of the JVCo2 Group’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;

  • potential voting rights held by the JVCo2 Group, other vote holders or other parties;

— IV-12 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO2 GROUP

APPENDIX IV

  • rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

  • any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the JVCo2 Group has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders’ meetings.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the JVCo2 Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the JVCo2 Group loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the JVCo2 Group gains control until the date when the JVCo2 Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each item of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of JVCo2 and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of JVCo2 and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the JVCo2 Group’s accounting policies.

All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the JVCo2 Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Merger accounting for business combination involving entities under common control

The Financial Information 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 recognized 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 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 Financial Information 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.

Investment in a subsidiary

Investment in a subsidiary is included in the statement of financial position of JVCo2 at cost less any identified impairment loss. The results of the subsidiary are accounted for by JVCo2 on the basis of dividend received and receivable.

— IV-13 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO2 GROUP

APPENDIX IV

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the JVCo2 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.

The JVCo2 Group’s accounting policy for recognition of revenue from operating leases is described in the accounting policy for leasing below.

Leasing

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

The JVCo2 Group as lessor

Rental income from operating leases is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The JVCo2 Group as lessee

Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognized as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognized as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

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 recognized at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary

— IV-14 —

APPENDIX IV

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO2 GROUP

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 on monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for:

  • exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings relating to assets under construction for future productive use, which are included in the cost of those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on those foreign currency borrowings;

  • exchange differences on transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks; and

  • exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur (therefore forming part of the net investment in the foreign operation), which are recognized initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss on repayment of the monetary items.

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 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 before tax’ as reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The JVCo2 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.

— IV-15 —

APPENDIX IV

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO2 GROUP

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 difference 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 JVCo2 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 each 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 JVCo2 Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

For the purposes of measuring deferred tax liabilities or deferred tax assets for investment properties that are measured using the fair value model, the carrying amounts of such properties are presumed to be recovered entirely through sale, unless the presumption is rebutted. The presumption is rebutted when the investment property is depreciable and is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment property over time, rather than through sale.

Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate 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.

APPENDIX IV

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Depreciation is recognized so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation (including properties under construction for such purposes). Investment properties include land held for undetermined future use, which is regarded as held for capital appreciation purpose.

Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at their fair values. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment properties are included in profit or loss for the period in which they arise.

Construction costs incurred for investment properties under construction are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the investment properties under construction.

An investment property is derecognized upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposals. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the property (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the profit or loss in the period in which the property is derecognized.

Impairment on tangible assets

At the end of the reporting period, the JVCo2 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 JVCo2 Group estimates the recoverable amount of the

— IV-17 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO2 GROUP

APPENDIX IV

cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When 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 of disposal 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 (or cash-generating unit) 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 immediately in profit or loss.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the JVCo2 Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the JVCo2 Group will be required to settle that obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When 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).

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

Financial instruments

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

— IV-18 —

APPENDIX IV

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO2 GROUP

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

Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale (“AFS”) financial assets and 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 debt instrument 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 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 debt instrument, 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 are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment (see accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below).

Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables where the recognition of interest would be immaterial.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when 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.

— IV-19 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO2 GROUP

APPENDIX IV

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.

For certain categories of financial assets, such as accounts receivable, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the JVCo2 Group’s past experience of collecting payments and observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.

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.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of accounts receivable, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss. When an account receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to profit or loss.

For financial assets measured at amortized cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment 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

Debt 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 an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the JVCo2 Group are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

— IV-20 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO2 GROUP

APPENDIX IV

Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liabilities are either held for trading or those designated as at FVTPL on initial recognition.

A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:

  • it has been acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near term; or

  • on initial recognition it is a part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the JVCo2 Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or

  • it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:

  • such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or

  • the financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the JVCo2 Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or

  • it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and HKAS 39 permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at FVTPL.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss excludes any interest paid on the financial liabilities.

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method.

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.

— IV-21 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO2 GROUP

APPENDIX IV

Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date when derivative contracts are 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 case the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship.

Derecognition

The JVCo2 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 JVCo2 Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the JVCo2 Group continues to recognize the asset to the extent of its continuing involvement and recognizes an associated liability. If the JVCo2 Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the JVCo2 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 JVCo2 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 JVCo2 Group derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the JVCo2 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.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO2 GROUP

APPENDIX IV

4. KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the JVCo2 Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 3, the directors of JVCo2 are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going 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 assumptions concerning the future, and other 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.

Estimate of fair value of investment properties

The valuation of investment properties is performed in accordance with the ‘The HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties’ published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.

The JVCo2 Group’s investment properties are revalued at the end of the reporting period on the open market value basis by independent professional valuers. Such valuations were based on certain assumptions, which are subject to uncertainty and might materially differ from the actual results. In making the judgement on whether such valuations and assumptions made by the valuers are reasonable, the JVCo2 Group considers information from comparable current prices in an active market for similar properties, capitalization rates, terminal yield, rental income from current leases and assumptions about rental from future leases and the reversionary income potential and uses assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of the reporting period.

5. REVENUE AND SEGMENT INFORMATION

Revenue represents rental income from properties.

The JVCo2 Group’s operating activities are attributable to a single operating segment focusing on the property development and investment. 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 JVCo2, for allocating resources to the segment and assessing its performance.

All of the JVCo2 Group’s business activities are attributable to the market in Hong Kong and all of the JVCo2 Group’s assets are located in Hong Kong, therefore no geographical information is presented.

The investment properties have been pledged to secure the bank loans granted to the JVCo2 Group.

The fair values of the investment properties as at 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013 have been arrived at on the basis of a valuation carried out by DTZ Debenham Tie Leung Limited, independent qualified professional valuers not connected to the JVCo2 Group.

— IV-26 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO2 GROUP

APPENDIX IV

The fair values were determined based on market comparison approach, where the values are assessed by reference to the comparable properties in close proximity and adjusted for differences in key attributes such as property size and location.

In estimating the fair value of the investment properties, the highest and best use of the properties is their current use.

Details of the JVCo2 Group’s investment properties and information about the fair value hierarchy as at 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013 are as follows:

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO2 GROUP

APPENDIX IV

(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies

The JVCo2 Group’s major financial instruments include bank balances, amount due to immediate holding company, amounts due to related companies and bank borrowings. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with certain of these financial instruments include interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

Interest rate risk

The JVCo2 Group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to variable-rate bank borrowings (see Note 18 for details of these borrowings) and amounts due to related companies. It is the JVCo2 Group’s policy to keep its borrowings at floating rate of interests so as to minimize the fair value interest rate risk.

The JVCo2 Group’s cash flow interest rate risk is mainly concentrated on the fluctuation of HIBOR arising from the JVCo2 Group’s Hong Kong dollar denominated borrowings.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. 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 JVCo2 Group’s profit for the years ended 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013 would decrease/increase by approximately HK$2,360,000, HK$2,409,000 and HK$2,280,000 respectively.

Credit risk

At the end of each reporting period, the JVCo2 Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the JVCo2 Group 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.

— IV-36 —

APPENDIX IV

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO2 GROUP

In order to minimize the credit risk, the JVCo2 Group has monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the JVCo2 Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual debt at the end of each reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of JVCo2 consider that the credit risk of the JVCo2 Group is significantly reduced.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

Liquidity risk

In the management of the liquidity risk, the JVCo2 Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the JVCo2 Group’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 JVCo2 Group had net current liabilities at 31 December 2013, which exposed the JVCo2 Group to liquidity risk. In order to mitigate the liquidity risk, the beneficial shareholder has agreed to provide adequate funds for the JVCo2 Group to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future.

The following tables detail the JVCo2 Group’s and JVCo2’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 JVCo2 Group and JVCo2 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 JVCo2 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 JVCo2 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 JVCO3 GROUP

APPENDIX V

Notes to the Financial Information

1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

JVCo3 was incorporated with limited liability in the BVI on 25 January 2011. Its parent is GCPF Cayman Holding 11 Corp., a company incorporated in Cayman Islands and its ultimate parent is JPMorgan Greater China Property Fund Cayman Master, L.P., a Cayman Islands Exempted Limited Partnership. The addresses of the registered office and the principal place of business of JVCo3 are P.O. Box 957, Offshore Incorporations Centre, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands and Suite 3201, Gloucester Tower, The Landmark, 11 Pedder Street, Central, Hong Kong respectively. JVCo3 acts as an investment holding company. The principal activity of its subsidiaries is property development and investment.

Pursuant to a reorganization agreement dated 24 May 2011, JVCo3 acquired the entire interests in Asiatic and Lens from National Properties Holdings Limited (“NPHL”) by issuing and allotting 1,000 shares of US$1 each to NPHL. Thereafter, JVCo3 has become the holding company of the JVCo3 Group. The companies now comprising the JVCo3 Group were under common control before and after the Reorganization. Accordingly, the Financial Information have been prepared using the principles of merger accounting in accordance with Accounting Guideline 5 “Merger Accounting for Common Control Combinations”.

The consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows are prepared as if the current group structure had been in existence throughout the Relevant Periods, or since the respective dates of incorporation where this is a shorter period. The consolidated statements of financial position as at 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013 present the assets and liabilities of the companies now comprising the JVCo3 Group as if the current group structure had been in existence at those dates.

The Financial Information is presented in Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”), which is also the functional currency of JVCo3.

In preparing the Financial Information, the directors of JVCo3 have given careful consideration to the liquidity position and going concern status of the JVCo3 Group. As at 31 December 2013, the JVCo3 Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately HK$6,422,000. The Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis because the beneficial shareholder of JVCo3, National Electronics Holdings Limited, has agreed to provide adequate funds for the JVCo3 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 JVCo3 Group has consistently applied Hong Kong Accounting Standards, Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, amendments and interpretations (collectively referred to as the “HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”), which are effective for the accounting period beginning on 1 January 2013 throughout the Relevant Periods.

— V-8 —

APPENDIX V FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO3 GROUP

The JVCo3 Group has not early applied the following new and revised HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective:

Amendments to HKFRSs Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle[1] Amendments to HKFRSs Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle[2] HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments[2] HKFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts[5] Amendments to HKFRS 9 Mandatory Effective Date of HKFRS 9 and Transition and HKFRS 7 Disclosures[2] Amendments to HKFRS Investment Entities[1] 10, HKFRS 12 and HKAS 27 Amendments to HKAS 19 Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions[1] Amendments to HKAS 32 Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabiliites[1] Amendments to HKAS 36 Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-financial Assets[1] Amendments to HKAS 39 Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting[1] HK(IFRIC) — Int 21 Levies[1]

2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014.

3 Available for application — the mandatory effective date will be determined when the outstanding phases of HKFRS 9 are finalised.

  • 4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014, with limited exceptions. 5 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016.

The directors of JVCo3 anticipate that the application of the new and revised HKFRSs will have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the JVCo3 Group.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out below which conform 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 and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

The Financial Information has been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain properties that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies set out below.

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the JVCo3 Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability

— V-9 —

APPENDIX V FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO3 GROUP

at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in this Financial Information is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of HKFRS 2, leasing transactions that are within the scope of HKAS 17, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in HKAS 2 or value in use in HKAS 36.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

  • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

  • Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The principal accounting policies are set out below.

Basis of consolidation

The Financial Information incorporate the financial statements of JVCo3 and entities controlled by JVCo3. Control is achieved when JVCo3:

  • has power over the investee;

  • is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

  • has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

The JVCo3 Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

When the JVCo3 Group has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The JVCo3 Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the JVCo3 Group’s voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:

  • the size of the JVCo3 Group’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;

  • potential voting rights held by the JVCo3 Group, other vote holders or other parties;

— V-10 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO3 GROUP

APPENDIX V

  • rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

  • any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the JVCo3 Group has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders’ meetings.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the JVCo3 Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the JVCo3 Group loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the JVCo3 Group gains control until the date when the JVCo3 Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each item of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of JVCo3 and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of JVCo3 and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the JVCo3 Group’s accounting policies.

All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the JVCo3 Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Merger accounting for business combination involving entities under common control

The Financial Information 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 recognized 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 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 Financial Information 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.

Investments in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are included in the statement of financial position of JVCo3 at cost less any identified impairment loss. The results of the subsidiaries are accounted for by JVCo3 on the basis of dividend received and receivable.

— V-11 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO3 GROUP

APPENDIX V

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the JVCo3 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.

The JVCo3 Group’s accounting policy for recognition of revenue from operating leases is described in the accounting policy for leasing below.

Leasing

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

The JVCo3 Group as lessor

Rental income from operating leases is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The JVCo3 Group as lessee

Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognized as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognized as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

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 recognized at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary

— V-12 —

APPENDIX V

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO3 GROUP

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 on monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for:

  • exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings relating to assets under construction for future productive use, which are included in the cost of those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on those foreign currency borrowings;

  • exchange differences on transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks; and

  • exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur (therefore forming part of the net investment in the foreign operation), which are recognized initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss on repayment of the monetary items.

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 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 before tax’ as reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The JVCo3 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.

— V-13 —

APPENDIX V

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO3 GROUP

Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary difference 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 JVCo3 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 each 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 JVCo3 Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

For the purposes of measuring deferred tax liabilities or deferred tax assets for investment properties that are measured using the fair value model, the carrying amounts of such properties are presumed to be recovered entirely through sale, unless the presumption is rebutted. The presumption is rebutted when the investment property is depreciable and is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment property over time, rather than through sale.

Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate 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.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses, if any.

— V-14 —

APPENDIX V

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO3 GROUP

Depreciation is recognized so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation (including properties under construction for such purposes). Investment properties include land held for undetermined future use, which is regarded as held for capital appreciation purpose.

Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at their fair values. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment properties are included in profit or loss for the period in which they arise.

Construction costs incurred for investment properties under construction are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the investment properties under construction.

An investment property is derecognized upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposals. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the property (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the profit or loss in the period in which the property is derecognized.

Impairment on tangible assets

At the end of the reporting period, the JVCo3 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 JVCo3 Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When 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 of disposal 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.

— V-15 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO3 GROUP

APPENDIX V

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 (or cash-generating unit) 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 immediately in profit or loss.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the JVCo3 Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the JVCo3 Group will be required to settle that obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When 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).

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized 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

Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale (“AFS”) financial assets and loans and receivables. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the

— V-16 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO3 GROUP

APPENDIX V

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 debt instrument 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 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 debt instrument, 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 are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment (see accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below).

Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables where the recognition of interest would be immaterial.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when 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.

For certain categories of financial assets, such as accounts receivable, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the JVCo3 Group’s past experience of collecting payments and observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.

— V-17 —

APPENDIX V FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO3 GROUP

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.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of accounts receivable, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss. When an account receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to profit or loss.

For financial assets measured at amortized cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment 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

Debt 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 an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the JVCo3 Group are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method.

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.

— V-18 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO3 GROUP

APPENDIX V

Derecognition

The JVCo3 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 JVCo3 Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the JVCo3 Group continues to recognize the asset to the extent of its continuing involvement and recognizes an associated liability. If the JVCo3 Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the JVCo3 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 JVCo3 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 JVCo3 Group derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the JVCo3 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 JVCo3 Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 3, the directors of JVCo3 are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going 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 assumptions concerning the future, and other 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.

— V-19 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO3 GROUP

APPENDIX V

Estimate of fair value of investment properties

The valuation of investment properties is performed in accordance with the ‘The HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties’ published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.

The JVCo3 Group’s investment properties are revalued at the end of the reporting period by independent professional valuers. Such valuations were based on certain assumptions, which are subject to uncertainty and might materially differ from the actual results. In making the judgement on whether such valuations and assumptions made by the valuers are reasonable, the JVCo3 Group considers information from comparable current prices in an active market for similar properties, capitalization rates, terminal yield, rental income from current leases and assumptions about rental from future leases and the reversionary income potential, and the estimated costs to completion for investment properties under construction with reference to past experience and committed contracts as well as allowances for contingencies and uses assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of the reporting period.

5. REVENUE AND SEGMENT INFORMATION

Revenue represents rental income from properties.

The JVCo3 Group’s operating activities are attributable to a single operating segment focusing on the property development and investment. 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 JVCo3, for allocating resources to the segment and assessing its performance.

All of the JVCo3 Group’s business activities are attributable to the market in Hong Kong and all of the JVCo3 Group’s assets are located in Hong Kong, therefore no geographical information is presented.

The investment properties have been pledged to secure the bank loans granted to the JVCo3 Group.

The fair values of the investment properties as at 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013 have been arrived at on the basis of a valuation carried out by DTZ Debenham Tie Leung Limited, independent qualified professional valuers not connected to the JVCo3 Group.

— V-22 —

APPENDIX V FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO3 GROUP

The fair value of the investment properties under construction was determined by using residual approach with the basis that the investment properties will be developed and completed in accordance with the latest development proposals and taken into account the construction costs that will be expended to complete the development to reflect the quality of the completed development.

The fair values of the completed investment properties were determined based on market comparison approach, where the values are assessed by reference to the comparable properties in close proximity and adjusted for differences in key attributes such as property size and location.

In estimating the fair value of the investment properties, the highest and best use of the properties is their current use.

Details of the JVCo3 Group’s investment properties and information about the fair value hierarchy as at 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013 are as follows:

Notes:

(i) The higher the adjusted average price per square foot is, the higher the fair value will be.

(ii) The higher developer’s profit and risk rate is, the lower the fair value will be.

There were no transfers of fair value measurements between Level 1 and Level 2 and no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the Relevant Periods.

26. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The JVCo3 Group manages its capital to ensure that the entities in the JVCo3 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 JVCo3 Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged throughout the Relevant Periods.

The capital structure of the JVCo3 Group consists of net debt (which includes amount due to immediate holding company, amounts due to related companies and bank borrowings net of cash and cash equivalents) and equity attributable to owners of JVCo3 (comprising issued share capital and reserves).

The directors of JVCo3 review the capital structure regularly. As part of this review, the JVCo3’s directors consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with the capital. Based on recommendations of the JVCo3’s directors, the JVCo3 Group will balance its overall capital structure through new share issues as well as the issue of new debt or the redemption of existing debt.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO3 GROUP

APPENDIX V

(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies

The JVCo3 Group’s major financial instruments include bank balances, amount due to immediate holding company, amounts due to related companies and bank borrowings. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with certain of these financial instruments include interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

Interest rate risk

The JVCo3 Group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to variable-rate bank borrowings (see Note 18 for details of these borrowings). It is the JVCo3 Group’s policy to keep its borrowings at floating rate of interests so as to minimize the fair value interest rate risk.

The JVCo3 Group’s cash flow interest rate risk is mainly concentrated on the fluctuation of HIBOR arising from the JVCo3 Group’s Hong Kong dollar denominated borrowings.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. 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 JVCo3 Group’s profit for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2013 would decrease/increase by approximately HK$2,565,000 and HK$2,949,000 respectively.

Credit risk

At the end of each reporting period, the JVCo3 Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the JVCo3 Group 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.

In order to minimize the credit risk, the JVCo3 Group has monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the JVCo3 Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual debt at the end of each reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of JVCo3 consider that the credit risk of the JVCo3 Group is significantly reduced.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

— V-32 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE JVCO3 GROUP

APPENDIX V

Liquidity risk

In the management of the liquidity risk, the JVCo3 Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the JVCo3 Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. Management monitors the utilization of bank borrowing and ensures compliance with loan covenants.

The JVCo3 Group had net current liabilities at 31 December 2013, which exposed the JVCo3 Group to liquidity risk. In order to mitigate the liquidity risk, the beneficial shareholder has agreed to provide adequate funds for the JVCo3 Group to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future.

The following tables detail the JVCo3 Group’s and JVCo3’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 JVCo3 Group and JVCo3 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.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE JVCO2 GROUP AND JVCO3 GROUP AND THE GROUP

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE JV GROUPS

(i) For the year ended 31 December 2013 (the “Year 2013”)

Business review

During the Year 2013, the JVCo2 Group was principally engaged in property investment. The JVCo2 Group holds the property located at No. 89 Jervois Street, Hong Kong, which was acquired at the cost of HK$90 million in May 2007. The property comprises a hotel being developed upon a site with a registered site area of approximately 2,105 sq.ft. (195.56 sq.m.), currently known as “The Jervois”. The hotel provides 49 guest rooms and has come into operation since November 2011.

During the Year 2013, the JVCo3 Group was principally engaged in property investment. The JVCo3 Group holds the properties located at Nos. 101 and 103 Bonham Strand and No. 127 Wing Lok Street, Hong Kong and No. 99 Bonham Strand, Hong Kong which were acquired at the cost of HK$88 million in July 2007 and HK$28.8 million in December 2007 respectively. The property located at Nos. 99, 101 and 103 Bonham Strand and No. 127 Wing Lok Street, Hong Kong comprises a hotel building being developed upon the site with a registered site area of approximately 2,059 sq.ft. (191.29 sq.m.), currently known as “99 Bonham”. The hotel provides 84 guest rooms and has come into operation since October 2012.

Both The Jervois and 99 Bonham received good market reviews and achieved satisfactory occupancy rates during Year 2013.

JVCo2 had engaged Jervois Management Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to manage the JVCo2 Property since September 2011. The manager is a special purpose vehicle established by the Group to manage the JVCo2 Property as its principal business. The Group draws from its own hotel management experience since 2008 when it started managing its first hotel, The Putman, located at 202 Queen’s Road Central. The manager provides various management services including daily operation, financial reporting and maintenance. The management fee payable to the manager is benchmarked against the net operating income of the JVCo2 Property, subject to a minimum floor amount. The management fee paid during the Year 2013 totalled approximately HK$1.17 million.

JVCo3 had engaged 99 Bonham Management Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to manage the JVCo3 Property since September 2012.

Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information:

  1. The balances have been extracted from the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 30 September 2013 as set out in the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 September 2013.

  2. The balances have been extracted from the audited consolidated statement of financial position of the JVCo2 Group as at 31 December 2013 as set out in Appendix IV to this circular.

  3. The balances have been extracted from the audited consolidated statement of financial position of the JVCo3 Group as at 31 December 2013 as set out in Appendix V to this circular.

  4. Pursuant to the JVCo2 Agreement and JVCo3 Agreement, the consideration for the Acquisitions is approximately HK$477,995,000 in aggregate, of which approximately HK$219,348,000 is attributable to the acquisition of 73% equity interest in JVCo2 and the assignment of shareholder’s loan owed by JVCo2 to JVCo2 Seller and approximately HK$258,647,000 is attributable to the acquisition of 73% equity interest in JVCo3. The consideration is funded by the internal resources of the Group of HK$231,995,000 and external borrowing of HK$246,000,000.

  5. The identifiable assets and liabilities of the JVCo2 Group and the JVCo3 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”).

For the purposes of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the Directors assumed that the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities of the JVCo2 Group and the JVCo3 Group are same as their respective carrying amounts as at 31 December 2013.

The actual fair values of the assets and liabilities will be determined as of the date of completion 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 completion.

In accordance with HKFRS 3, the Group’s existing 27% equity interest in JVCo2 and 27% equity interest in JVCo3 (“Initial Equity Investments”) will be remeasured at fair value as at the date of completion and any difference between the fair values of the Initial Equity Investments as at the date of completion and the carrying amounts of the Initial Equity Investments that were equity accounted for in the consolidated financial statement of the Group as at the date of acquisition will be recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss of the Group as a gain or loss.

— VII-3 —

APPENDIX VII UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

For the purposes of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the fair values of the Initial Equity Investments are estimated based on the consideration paid for the acquisition of the additional 73% equity interest in JVCo2 and 73% equity interest in JVCo3.

On completion, the actual fair values of the Initial Equity Investments will have to be reassessed and accordingly, their fair values at the date of completion will be different from the amounts disclosed in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.

  • (i) This adjustment represents the consolidation entry to eliminate the share capital and pre-acquisition reserves of the JVCo2 Group and the JVCo3 Group on consolidation;

  • (ii) This adjustment represents the fair value gain arising from the remeasurement of the Initial Equity Investments (which are presented as investments in associates in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 30 September 2013) of approximately HK$40,183,000.

The amount of goodwill would change depending on the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the JVCo3 Group and the fair value of the Group’s existing 27% equity interest in JVCo3 determined at the date of completion.

The Directors confirmed that they will apply consistent accounting policies, principal assumptions and valuation method to assess impairment of goodwill in subsequent reporting periods in accordance with the requirement of HKAS 36.

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

TO THE DIRECTORS OF NATIONAL ELECTRONICS HOLDINGS LIMITED

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of pro forma financial information of National Electronics Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”) by the directors for illustrative purposes only. The pro forma financial information consists of the pro forma net asset statement as at 30 September 2013 and related notes as set out on pages VII-1 to VII-5 of the circular issued by the Company dated 16 June 2014 (the “Circular”). The applicable criteria on the basis of which the directors have compiled the pro forma financial information are described in notes 1 to 8.

The pro forma financial information has been compiled by the directors to illustrate the impact of the proposed acquisition of 73% equity interest in Smart Plus Group Limited and 73% equity interest in Ally Vantage Limited on the Group’s financial position as at 30 September 2013 as if the transaction had taken place at 30 September 2013. As part of this process, information about the Group’s financial position has been extracted by the directors from the Group’s financial statements for the period ended 30 September 2013, on which no audit or review report has been published.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Pro Forma Financial Information

The directors are responsible for compiling the pro forma financial information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”) and with reference to AG 7 Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars (“AG 7”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”).

APPENDIX VII

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

Reporting Accountants’ Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by paragraph 4.29(7) of the Listing Rules, on the pro forma financial information and to report our opinion to you. We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the pro forma financial information beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements (HKSAE) 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 accountants comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the directors have compiled the pro forma financial information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules and with reference to AG 7 issued by the HKICPA.

For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the 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 pro forma financial information.

The purpose of 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 purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the event or transaction at 30 September 2013 would have been as presented.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the 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 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 pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.

The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants’ judgment, having regard to the reporting accountants’ understanding of the nature of the Group, the event or transaction in respect of which the pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.

— VII-7 —

APPENDIX VII UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the pro forma financial information.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion:

  • (a) the pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis stated;

  • (b) such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Group; and

  • (c) the adjustments are appropriate for the purposes of the pro forma financial information as disclosed pursuant to paragraph 4.29(1) of the Listing Rules.
