Logan Property Holdings Co., Ltd. Units 02-03A, 68th Floor International Commerce Centre No.1 Austin Road West Jordan, Kowloon Hong Kong
Dear Sirs,
Re: Valuation of Property Development (named as Logan City) situated in Daya Bay Economic and Technology Development Zone, Huiyang District, Huizhou City, Guangdong Province, the People’s Republic of China
In accordance with your instructions for us to value the captioned property interests of (the “ Properties ”) of Huizhou Daya Bay Dongzhen Property Co., Ltd. (referred to as the “ Project Company ”) and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “ Project Group ”) in the People’s Republic of China (“ PRC ”), we confirm that we have carried out inspections, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing the market values of the Properties as at 31 May 2016 (referred to as the “ valuation date ”).
Basis of Valuation
Our valuation of the Properties represents the market value which we would define as intended to mean “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction, after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently, and without compulsion”.
Valuation Methodology
The Properties have been valued by the comparison method where comparison based on price information of comparable properties is made. Comparable properties of similar size, character and location are analysed and carefully weighted against all respective advantage and disadvantage of each property in order to arrive at a fair comparison of capital values.
– 16 –
APPENDIX II
PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT
Assumptions
Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the owner sells the Properties on the market in its existing state without the benefit of deferred terms contracts, leaseback, joint ventures, management agreements or any similar arrangement which would serve to affect their values.
As the Properties are held by the Project Company by means of long term Land Use Rights granted by the Government, we have assumed that the Project Company has free and uninterrupted rights to use the property for the whole of the unexpired term of its land use rights. We have also assumed that the Properties can be freely transferred on the market free from any land premium or expenses of substantial amount payable to the Government.
Other special assumptions of each property, if any, have been stated out in the footnotes of the valuation certificate for each corresponding property.
Titleship
We have been provided with copies of legal documents regarding the Properties. However, we have not verified ownership of the Properties and the existence of any encumbrances that would affect ownership of the Properties.
We have also relied upon the legal opinion provided by the PRC legal advisers, namely Commerce & Finance Law Offices (通商律師事務所), to the Project Company on the relevant laws and regulations in the PRC, on the nature of land use rights or leasehold interests in the Properties situated in the PRC.
Limiting Conditions
No allowance has been made in our report for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the Properties nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. It is assumed that the Properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature, which could affect their values. Our valuation have been made on the assumption that the seller sells the Properties on the market without the benefit of a deferred term contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement, which could serve to affect the values of the Properties.
We have relied to a very considerable extent on the information given by the Project Company and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as tenure, planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, particulars of occupancy, lettings, and all other relevant matters.
We have not carried out detailed site measurements to verify the correctness of the site and floor areas in respect of the Properties but have assumed that the site and floor areas shown on the documents and official site plans handed to us are correct. All documents and contracts have been used as reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximations.
