LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The unaudited consolidated net assets (after deducting shareholders’ loan) of the Win Lead Group as at 30 June 2017 were approximately RMB54.18 million (equivalent to approximately HK$62.90 million).
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITIONS
SOTAN Fund was established in 2011 with SOTAN GP I, Limited, a 75%-owned subsidiary of the Company, acting as the general partner of the Fund. At the date of this circular, SOTAN Fund is owned as to approximately 57.09%, 42.81% and 0.1% of its interest by the Third Party Investor I, the Third Party Investor II and SOTAN GP I, Limited respectively as limited partnership. SOTAN Fund was set up to invest jointly with the Group on a 50:50 basis in special situation property projects in the PRC identified by the Group. At the date of this circular, the Tianjin Project and the Nanjing Project are the only investments made by the Fund jointly with the Group.
The life of SOTAN Fund expired in February 2017, and both the Third Party Investor I and the Third Party Investor II, being the limited partners of the Fund, intend to exit from the Tianjin Project and the Nanjing Project to realise their investments. In order to avoid undue disruption to the management and operation of these projects going forward and the possibility of liquidating these projects in a disorderly manner, thereby causing value destruction and losses to the Group, the Company considers it desirable to make the Acquisitions. The Company also considers that the Acquisitions will provide an opportunity for the Group to consolidate its shareholdings in Cosy Rich and Win Lead, which will enhance the Group’s flexibility in managing these projects and enable the Group to capture the full market potential of the retail property in the Tianjin Project through revamping, as well as the development potential of the yet-to-be developed land parcels of both projects, in an effort to create higher future disposal value of the property assets concerned.
FINANCIAL IMPACT ON THE GROUP
Following completion of the Acquisitions, both Cosy Rich and Win Lead will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, and the assets, liabilities and financial results of the Target Groups will be consolidated into the financial statements of the Group.
Effect on the Group’s financial position
As illustrated in the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix III to this circular, had the completion of the Acquisitions taken place on 30 June 2017, the total assets of the Group would increase from HK$9,975 million to approximately HK$11,090 million on a pro forma basis, and the total liabilities of the Group would increase from HK$6,174 million to approximately HK$7,223 million on a pro forma basis.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Effect on the Group’s earnings
Currently, the Target Groups are accounted for as joint ventures using equity accounting method, of which 50% of the results of the Target Groups are taken up as share of results of joint ventures in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Following completion of the Acquisitions, Cosy Rich and Win Lead will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, and 100% of the results of the Target Groups will be taken up in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Please refer to Appendix II to this circular for the financial information of the Target Groups.
FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
Over the past several years, the Group has made considerable progress in the execution of its monetisation strategy. In May and June of 2017, the Company successfully issued the three-year US$ denominated notes and raised longer-term funds in an aggregate amount of US$280 million. Consequently, the Group has substantially reduced its total bank borrowings from HK$8.2 billion at the end of 2013 to HK$0.9 billion as at 30 June 2017, significantly improved its financial position and strengthened its working capital, which allow the Group to revamp and upgrade its remaining property assets and enhance their values.
The Enlarged Group owns six property projects commanding good locations in major cities in the PRC and featuring primarily a niche retail portfolio in Shenyang, Chengdu, Tianjin and Chongqing. The Enlarged Group is making satisfactory progress on the asset enhancement programmes of these shopping malls, with the goal of raising occupancy rates, rental yields and values. After the Acquisitions, the Enlarged Group will be in a better position to unleash the development value and market potentials of the Tianjin Project and the Nanjing Project.
The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is determined to resolve the shortage of affordable housing units as its top priority. The Group’s construction division, with its core strengths, sees ample business opportunities in the public construction sector in Hong Kong, and is expanding its order book. It is also well set to capture opportunities in community health and leisure facilities, as well as related construction activities such as fit-out, renovation and maintenance contracts.
The Group, now in a more flexible financial condition, looks to seek out new investment opportunities to rebuild its asset management and property businesses.
INFORMATION ON THE GROUP AND PARTIES TO THE SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENTS
The Group principally engages in property development and investment, and asset management in the PRC, and construction in Hong Kong and Macau.
Wealth Frame is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and its principal activity is investment holding.
— 11 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
As far as the Company is aware after making reasonable enquiries, both the CR Vendor and the WL Vendor are investment holding companies. They are wholly-owned subsidiaries of SOTAN Fund, in which the Company holds only 0.075% effective interest. However, as SOTAN Fund is managed by a subsidiary of the Company as its general partner, the Fund as well as the CR Vendor and the WL Vendor are all regarded as subsidiaries of the Company under the Listing Rules.
As far as the Company is aware after making reasonable enquiries, the Third Party Investor I is one of the limited partners of SOTAN Fund holding approximately 57.09% interest in the Fund, and its principal activity is investment holding.
As far as the Company is aware after making reasonable enquiries, the Third Party Investor II is one of the limited partners of SOTAN Fund holding approximately 42.81% interest in the Fund, and its principal activity is investment holding.
IMPLICATIONS OF THE LISTING RULES
In accordance with Rule 14A.09 of the Listing Rules, both the Third Party Investor I and the Third Party Investor II are not connected persons of the Company although they are substantial shareholders of SOTAN Fund, which is an insignificant subsidiary of the Company. As such, the Acquisitions do not constitute connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
However, as one of the applicable percentage ratios calculated under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Acquisitions on an aggregate basis exceeds 25% but is less than 100%, the Acquisitions collectively constitute a major transaction of the Company, which is subject to the reporting, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING
A notice convening the SGM to be held at Oasis Room, 8th Floor, Renaissance Harbour View Hotel Hong Kong, 1 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong on Monday, 13 November 2017 at 3:00 p.m. is set out on pages SGM-1 and SGM-2 of this circular. At the SGM, the Resolution will be proposed to approve, among others, the Sale and Purchase Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including the Acquisitions.
A form of proxy for the SGM is enclosed. Whether or not you are able to attend the SGM, you are requested to complete the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the head office of the Company at 34th Floor, Shui On Centre, 6-8 Harbour Road, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the SGM or any adjournment or postponement thereof (as the case may be). Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the SGM and any adjournment or postponement thereof (as the case may be), should you so wish.
— 12 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
In accordance with Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, the Resolution will be decided by poll at the SGM. Accordingly, the chairman of the SGM will demand, pursuant to Bye-law 66 of the Bye-laws of the Company, a poll for the Resolution at the SGM. An announcement of the voting results will be made after the SGM in accordance with the Listing Rules.
To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors after having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Shareholders and their close associates has a material interest in the Acquisitions and therefore, none of them is required to abstain from voting on the Resolution at the SGM.
RECOMMENDATION
The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the Sale and Purchase Agreements are on normal commercial terms, which are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the Resolution at the SGM.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Your attention is also drawn to the additional information set out in the appendices to this circular.
Yours faithfully, By order of the Board SOCAM Development Limited Wong Yuet Leung, Frankie Executive Director, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer

Directors’ responsibility for the Historical Financial Information
The directors of Cosy Rich are responsible for the preparation of Historical Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 2 to the Historical Financial Information, and for such internal control as the directors of Cosy Rich determine is necessary to enable the preparation of Historical Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
The directors of the Company are responsible for the contents of the Circular in which the Historical Financial Information of the Cosy Rich Group is included, and such information is prepared based on the accounting policies materially consistent with those of the Company.
Reporting accountants’ responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Historical Financial Information and to report our opinion to you. We conducted our work in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Investment
— II-1 —
APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
Circular Reporting Engagements 200 “Accountants’ Reports on Historical Financial Information in Investment Circulars” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”). This standard requires that we comply with ethical standards and plan and perform our work to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Historical Financial Information is free from material misstatement.
Our work involved performing procedures to obtain evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Financial Information. The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants’ judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the Historical Financial Information, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the reporting accountants consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the Historical Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 2 to the Historical Financial Information in order to design procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Our work also included evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors of Cosy Rich, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical 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 the Historical Financial Information gives, for the purposes of the accountants’ report, a true and fair view of the Cosy Rich Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2014, 2015 and 2016 and 30 June 2017, and of the Cosy Rich Group’s financial performance and cash flows for the Track Record Period in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 2 to the Historical Financial Information.
Review of stub period comparative financial information
We have reviewed the stub period comparative financial information of the Cosy Rich Group which comprises the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended 30 June 2016 and other explanatory information (the “Stub Period Comparative Financial Information”). The directors of Cosy Rich are responsible for the preparation of the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 2 to the Historical Financial Information. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the HKICPA. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope that an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be

identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information, for the purposes of the accountants’ report, is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 2 to the Historical Financial Information.

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
NOTES TO THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. GENERAL
Cosy Rich Limited (“Cosy Rich”) is a private limited liability company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. The address of the registered office of Cosy Rich is Vistra Corporate Services Centre, Wickhams Cay II, Road Town, Tortola, VG 1110, British Virgin Islands.
Cosy Rich and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Cosy Rich Group”) are principally engaged in property development and investment in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). The principal activities of Cosy Rich’s subsidiaries are set out in note 31.
The Historical Financial Information is presented in RMB, which is also the functional currency of the Cosy Rich Group.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Historical Financial Information of the Cosy Rich Group has been prepared for inclusion in the Circular in connection with the proposed acquisition of 50% equity interest in Cosy Rich.
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared based on the accounting policies set out in note 4 which conform with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) issued by International Accounting Standards Board. In addition, the Historical Financial Information includes applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange.
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis because SOCAM Development Limited, the shareholder of Cosy Rich, has agreed to provide adequate funds to enable Cosy Rich to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due up to and subsequent to the completion date of proposed acquisition of Cosy Rich.
3. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED IFRSS
For the purpose of preparing and presenting the Historical Financial Information for the Track Record Period, the Cosy Rich Group has consistently applied the IFRSs, which are effective throughout the Track Record Period.
— II-10 —
APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
New and amendments to IFRSs in issue but not yet effective
The Cosy Rich Group has not early applied the following new and amendments to IFRSs and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective:
IFRSs (Amendments) Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2014 - 2016 Cycle except for amendments to IFRS 12[1] IFRS 2 (Amendments) Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions[1] IFRS 4 (Amendments) Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts[1] IFRS 9 Financial Instruments[1] IFRS 10 and IAS 28 (Amendments) Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture[3] IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and the related Amendments[1] IFRS 16 Leases[2] IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts[4] IFRIC 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration[1] IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments[2] IAS 40 (Amendments) Transfers of Investment Property[1]
1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018
2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019
3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after a date to be determined
4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021
The directors of Cosy Rich anticipate that the application of new and amendments to IFRSs and Interpretations will have no material impact on the results and financial position of the Cosy Rich Group in the future.
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost basis except for investment properties and investment properties under construction which are measured at fair value 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 Cosy Rich 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 at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in this
— II-11 —
APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
Historical Financial Information is determined on such basis, except for leasing transactions that are within the scope of IAS 17 “Leases”, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in IAS 2 “Inventories” or value in use in IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised 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 Historical Financial Information incorporates the financial statements of Cosy Rich and entities controlled by Cosy Rich (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved when Cosy Rich:
-
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.
Cosy Rich reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the elements of control listed above.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year/period are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Cosy Rich Group gains control until the date when the Cosy Rich Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with those used by other members of the Cosy Rich Group.
— II-12 —
APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
All inter-company transactions and balances within the Cosy Rich Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents the amount receivable for goods sold in the normal course of business, net of sales related taxes.
Revenue is recognised when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured; when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Cosy Rich Group and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Cosy Rich Group’s activities, as described below.
Rental income from properties under operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the periods of the respective tenancies. Contingent rental income arising under operating leases is recognised as an income in the period in which they are incurred.
Service income is recognised when services are provided.
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 assets net carrying amount on initial recognition.
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 Cosy Rich Group as lessor
Rental income from properties under operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the periods of the respective tenancies.
The Cosy Rich Group as lessee
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Properties held for sale
Properties held for sale are completed properties and are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs relating to the development of properties, comprising prepaid lease payments for land, development costs, capitalised borrowing costs and other direct costs, are included in properties under development for sale until such time when they are completed. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all anticipated costs to be incurred in marketing and selling.
— II-13 —
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
APPENDIX II
Properties under development for sale
Properties under development, which are intended to be developed for sale, are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs comprise prepaid lease payments for land, development costs, capitalised borrowing costs and other direct costs. These assets are classified as current assets as they are expected to be realised in, or are intended for sale within the Cosy Rich Group’s normal operating cycle. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all anticipated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing and selling. Upon completion, the assets are recorded as properties held for sale.
Investment properties
Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation. On initial recognition, investment properties are measured at cost, including any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties and investment properties under construction are measured using the fair value model and stated at fair value at the end of the reporting period. 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 capitalised as part of the carrying amount of the investment properties under construction.
Transfer from investment properties under construction to properties under development for sale will be made when there is change in use, evidenced by commencement of development with a view to sale. The fair value at the date of transfer becomes the deemed cost for subsequent accounting as properties under development for sale.
Transfers from properties held for sale to investment property will be made when there is a change of intention to hold the property to earn rentals or/and for capital appreciation rather than for sale in the ordinary course of business, which is evidenced by the commencement of an operating lease with another party. The difference between the fair value and the carrying amount at the date of transfer is recognised in profit or loss.
An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from the disposal. Any gain or loss arising from derecognition of the property (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the period in which the property is derecognised.
Furniture, fixture and equipment
Furniture, fixture and equipment are stated at cost, less subsequent accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
— II-14 —
APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
Depreciation is recognised to write off the cost of items of furniture, fixture and equipment over their estimated useful lives and after taking into account their estimated residual value, if any, using the straight-line method. The useful lives of an asset and its residual value and depreciation method, if any, are reviewed annually.
An item of furniture, fixture and equipment is derecognised 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 derecognition of the assets (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the year/period which the item is recognition.
Impairment loss on assets
At the end of the reporting period, the Cosy Rich Group reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss.
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 is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.
When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. Capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases when 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 capitalisation.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which they are incurred.
Retirement benefit costs
Payments to state-managed retirement benefit scheme are recorded as an expenses when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
— II-15 —
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
APPENDIX II
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/period. Taxable profit differs from “loss before taxation” 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 Cosy Rich Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Historical Financial Information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the Cosy Rich Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise 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 assets 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 realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
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.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Cosy Rich Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
— II-16 —
APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
Foreign currencies
In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity (foreign currencies) are recorded in the respective functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates) at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the end of the reporting period. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the consolidated statement of financial position when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value.
Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.
Financial assets
Financial assets are classified into loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including debtors, amounts due from related companies and bank balances and cash) are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment loss.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees 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 asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instrument.
— II-17 —
APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for any impairment at the end of the 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 assets, 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-organisation.
Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Cosy Rich Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period of one year, observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.
An impairment loss is measured as 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 amounts of financial assets are reduced by impairment directly.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
Financial liabilities and equity
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Cosy Rich Group are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into 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 Cosy Rich are recognised as the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
— II-18 —
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
APPENDIX II
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised 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 recognised on an effective interest basis.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities (including other payables, loans from shareholders and non-controlling shareholders of subsidiaries, secured bank borrowings, amounts due to related companies and a shareholder and obligation arising from put options to non-controlling shareholders of subsidiaries) are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Obligation arising from put options to non-controlling shareholders of subsidiaries
Put option written to non-controlling shareholders of subsidiaries, which will be settled other than by exchange of fixed amount of cash for a fixed number of shares in a subsidiary is treated as derivative and is recognised at fair value upon initial recognition. Any changes of fair value in subsequent reporting dates are recognised in profit or loss.
The gross financial liability arising from the put option is recognised when contractual obligation to purchase the shares in a subsidiary is established even if the obligation is conditional on the counterparty exercising the right to sell the shares to Cosy Rich. The liability for the minimum price for the purchase of shares in subsidiaries is recognised and measured at amortised cost with the corresponding debit to the non-controlling interests.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire or, the financial assets are transferred and the Cosy Rich Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENT AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Cosy Rich Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 4, the directors of Cosy Rich are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and 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 ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The key estimates and assumptions that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Investment properties and investment properties under construction
Investment properties and investment properties under construction are stated at fair value based on the valuation performed by the Directors of Cosy Rich with reference to the valuation carried out by an independent professional valuer. As disclosed in note 14, the investment properties and investment properties under construction carried at a total value of RMB628,623,791, RMB802,939,974, RMB642,559,747 and RMB644,165,397 at 31 December 2014, 2015, 2016 and 30 June 2017 respectively. In determining the fair value, the Directors of Cosy Rich used a method of valuation which involves certain estimates of the market conditions. They have exercised their judgement and are satisfied that the assumptions used in the valuation are reflective of the current market conditions. Changes to these assumptions would result in changes in the fair values of the Cosy Rich Group’s investment properties and investment properties under construction, and the corresponding adjustments to the amount of gain or loss reported in profit or loss.
Information about the valuation techniques and inputs in determining the fair value of Cosy Rich Group’s investment properties are disclosed in note 14.
Determination of net realisable value of properties under development for sale and properties held for sale
Properties under development for sale and properties held for sale are stated at lower of the cost and net realisable value. As disclosed in note 16, the carrying value of properties under development for sale and properties held for sale at 31 December 2014, 2015, 2016 and 30 June 2017 were RMB378,388,987, RMB238,060,026, RMB197,440,253 and RMB190,834,603 respectively.
The net realisable value is the estimated selling price (based on the direct comparison method) less estimated selling expenses and estimated cost of completion (if any), which are determined based on the best available information and valuation performed by independent professional valuers. Where

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
there is any decrease in the estimated selling price arising from any changes to the property market conditions in the PRC, the loss will be recognised on the properties under development for sale and properties held for sale in the consolidated statement profit or loss and other comprehensive income. When the estimated selling price increases and is higher than the carrying value after impairment losses, a reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
Deferred taxation on investment properties/investment properties under construction
For the purposes of measuring deferred tax liabilities or deferred tax assets arising from investment properties that are measured using the fair value model, the directors of Cosy Rich have reviewed the Cosy Rich Group’s investment property portfolios and concluded that the Cosy Rich Group’s investment properties are held under a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment properties over time, rather than through sale. Therefore, in measuring the Cosy Rich Group’s deferred taxation on investment properties, the directors of Cosy Rich have determined that the presumption that the carrying amounts of investment properties measured using the fair value model are recovered entirely through sale is rebutted. Details of the deferred tax liabilities recognised in respect of the revaluation of investment properties are disclosed in note 23.

The Cosy Rich Group’s property interests held under operating leases to earn rentals or for capital appreciation purposes are measured using the fair value model and are classified and accounted for as investment properties/investment properties under construction, which have been pledged to secure the banking facilities granted to the Cosy Rich Group.
The properties are situated in the PRC under medium term lease. The fair value of the Cosy Rich Group’s investment properties/investment properties under construction has been arrived at on the basis of valuations carried out at the date of transfer and at the end of each reporting period by the Directors of Cosy Rich with reference to the valuation carried out by an independent qualified professional valuer not connected to the Cosy Rich Group.
— II-26 —
APPENDIX II
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
For completed investment properties, the valuations have been arrived on the basis of capitalisation of net income. In the valuation, the market rentals of all lettable units of the properties are assessed by reference to the rentals achieved in the lettable units as well as other lettings of similar properties in the neighbourhood. The capitalisation rate adopted is made by reference to the yield rates for the similar properties in the locality and adjusted the factors specific to the respective properties.
For investment properties under construction that are measured at fair value, the valuations have been arrived at assuming that the investment properties will be completed in accordance with the development proposals and the relevant approvals for the proposals have been obtained. The valuations have been arrived on the basis of capitalisation of estimated net income derived from the completed properties with consideration of the prevailing market yields. Costs of development are also taken into account including construction costs, finance costs and professional fees, as well as developer’s profit margin which reflects the remaining risks associated with the development of the properties at the valuation date and the return that the developer would require for bringing them to completion status, which is estimated by the Directors of Cosy Rich based on their analysis of recent land transactions and market value of similar completed properties in the respective locations.
There has been no change to the valuation technique during the Track Record Period for investment properties and investment properties under construction. In estimating the fair value of the properties, the management has taken into consideration the highest and best use of the properties.
The major inputs used in the fair value measurement of investment properties are set out below:

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
The allowance for doubtful debts is assessed individually and provided on trade debtors who have either been in severe financial difficulties or defaulted payments. No further provision for impairment is considered necessary in respect of the amounts past due but not impaired as the Cosy Rich Group considers that the default risk is low after considering the rental deposits from the corresponding tenants, the creditworthiness and past payment history of the tenants and subsequent settlement after the end of the reporting period. No collateral is held over these receivables.

24. OBLIGATION ARISING FROM PUT OPTIONS TO NON-CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDERS OF SUBSIDIARIES
In 2011, Cosy Rich entered into two agreements (the “Master Agreements”) with independent third parties (who become the non-controlling shareholders of GG and LL as defined in this paragraph), in which Cosy Rich were granted the options, exercisable at the discretion of Cosy Rich to acquire 90% of the issued shares and shareholders’ loans in Great Giant Investment Limited (“GG”) and Lucky Lead Limited (“LL”) for a total consideration of RMB218,364,933 (the “Transaction”). Consideration were fully settled and no further payment is required upon the exercise of the options.
After completion of the Transaction, Cosy Rich has control over the operation and management of GG and LL and their subsidiaries based on the terms as stipulated in the Master Agreements, rights to variable returns and ability to affect those returns through its involvement and power over GG and LL and their subsidiaries.
In the Master Agreements, the non-controlling shareholders of GG and LL also granted to Cosy Rich call options requiring the non-controlling shareholder of GG to sell all the remaining 10% issued shares of GG at a price which shall be the higher of RMB7.1 million and the fair market value of 10% issued shares of GG (“GG Call Option”) and requiring the non-controlling shareholder of LL to sell all the remaining 10% issued shares of LL at a price which shall be the higher of RMB17.2 million and the fair market value of 10% issued shares of LL (“LL Call Option”). Both GG Call Option and LL Call Option are exercisable subject to satisfaction of certain conditions.
Cosy Rich also granted to the non-controlling shareholders of subsidiaries the put options (“GG and LL Put Options”) requiring Cosy Rich to acquire all the remaining 10% issued shares of GG and LL at the same terms as the GG Call Option and LL Call Option.
At initial recognition, the obligation arising from put options issued to the non-controlling shareholders of subsidiaries amounting to RMB24,282,970 has been recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position as financial liability at amortised cost, with the corresponding debit to the non-controlling interests.
The directors of Cosy Rich have assessed that the fair value of both the put options and call options which are insignificant at 31 December 2014, 2015, 2016 and 30 June 2017.
25. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Cosy Rich Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Cosy Rich Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Cosy Rich Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged over the Track Record Period.
The capital structure of the Cosy Rich Group consists of debts, which include loans from shareholders and non-controlling shareholders of subsidiaries, bank borrowings, amounts due to related companies and a shareholder and equity of Cosy Rich, comprising issued capital and reserves.
The directors of Cosy Rich review the capital structure periodically. As a part of this review, the directors of Cosy Rich consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with the capital and will adjust its overall capital structure through closely monitoring the debt balance and working capital.

(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Cosy Rich Group’s financial instruments include debtors and other payables, secured bank borrowings, loans from shareholders and non-controlling shareholders of subsidiaries, amounts due from/to related companies and a shareholder, bank balances and cash and obligation arising from put options to non-controlling shareholders of subsidiaries. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The Cosy Rich Group manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented in a timely and effective manner.
Market risk
The Cosy Rich Group is exposed primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.
Foreign currency risk
Certain financial assets and liabilities of the Cosy Rich Group are denominated in foreign currencies which are different from the functional currency of the relevant group entity, i.e. RMB and therefore the Cosy Rich Group is exposed to foreign currency risk.
The Cosy Rich Group does not use any derivative contracts to hedge against its exposure to currency risk. The Cosy Rich Group manages its foreign currency risk by closely monitoring the movement of the foreign currency rate.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
The carrying amounts of the Cosy Rich Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of each of the reporting period are as follows:
| Assets Hong Kong Dollars (“HKD”) USD EURO Liabilities HKD USD |

Foreign currency sensitivity
The foreign currency risk is mainly concentrated on the fluctuation of the foreign currencies against RMB. The following table details the Cosy Rich Group’s sensitivity to a 7% increase and decrease in the RMB against the relevant foreign currencies.
The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the year/period end for a 7% change in foreign currency rates. A positive (negative) number indicates a decrease (increase) in the loss for the year/period where the RMB strengthens against the relevant foreign currencies. For a 7% weakening of the RMB against the relevant foreign currencies, there would be an equal and opposite impact on the results.

Interest rate risk
The Cosy Rich Group is exposed to fair value interest rate risk in relation to the fixed-rate bank borrowings (see note 22 for details of the bank borrowings). The Cosy Rich Group is also exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to variable-rate bank balances. The cash flow interest rate risk is mainly concentrated on the fluctuation of Prescribed Interest Rate of the People’s Bank of China arising from the Cosy Rich Group’s bank balances.

APPENDIX II
Interest rate sensitivity
The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates at the end of each reporting period. The analysis is prepared assuming the financial instruments outstanding at the end of each reporting period were outstanding for the whole year/period. A 100 basis points increase or decrease in variable-rate bank balances are 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 loss for the years ended 31 December 2014, 2015 and 2016 and the six months ended 30 June 2017 would decrease/(increase) as below:
| Decrease (increase) in loss for the year/period | Year ended 31 December Six months ended 30 June 2014 2015 2016 2017 RMB RMB RMB RMB 1,467,486 45,600 65,728 63,732 |
|---|---|
Credit risk
As at 31 December 2014, 2015, 2016 and 30 June 2017, the Cosy Rich Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk which cause a financial loss to the Cosy Rich Group in the event of the counterparties’ failure to discharge their obligations in relation to the recognised financial assets are the carrying amount of those assets as stated in the consolidated statement of financial position.
The management closely monitors its credit exposure on regular basis to minimise its credit risk throughout the Track Record Period. In addition, the Cosy Rich Group reviews the recoverability of amount due from each counterparty at the end of each reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts.
At 31 December 2014 and 2015, the credit risk of the Cosy Rich Group was primarily attributable to and concentrated on amounts due from related companies. The directors of Cosy Rich consider that the related companies have sufficient net assets to repay the debts and do not expect to incur a significant loss for uncollected amounts due from related companies. The amounts were fully settled in 2016.
The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies or state-owned banks in the PRC.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
APPENDIX II
Liquidity risk
The Cosy Rich Group is exposed to liquidity risk as the Cosy Rich Group’s current asset is insufficient to settle the current liabilities at 31 December 2014, 2015 and 2016 and 30 June 2017. The directors of Cosy Rich consider that the Cosy Rich Group is able to mitigate the risk as the shareholder of the Cosy Rich Group has agreed to provide adequate funds to enable the Cosy Rich Group to meet in full its financial obligations as and when they fall due in the foreseeable future.
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the directors of Cosy Rich which has built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Cosy Rich Group’s funding and liquidity management requirements. The Cosy Rich Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.
The following table details the Cosy Rich Group’s contractual maturity for its financial liabilities. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Cosy Rich Group can be required to pay.

The Historical Financial Information set out on pages II-49 to II-83 forms an integral part of this report, which has been prepared for inclusion in the circular of SOCAM Development Limited (the “Company”) dated 24 October 2017 (the “Circular”) in connection with the proposed acquisition of Win Lead.
Directors’ responsibility for the Historical Financial Information
The directors of Win Lead are responsible for the preparation of the Historical Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 2 to the Historical Financial Information, and for such internal control as the directors of Win Lead determine is necessary to enable the preparation of Historical Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
The directors of the Company are responsible for the contents of the Circular in which the Historical Financial Information of the Win Lead Group is included, and such information is prepared based on accounting policies materially consistent with those of the Company.
Reporting accountants’ responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Historical Financial Information and to report our opinion to you. We conducted our work in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Investment Circular Reporting Engagements 200 “Accountants’ Reports on Historical Financial Information in Investment Circulars” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”). This standard requires that we comply with ethical standards and plan and perform our work to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Historical Financial Information is free from material misstatement.

APPENDIX II
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
Our work involved performing procedures to obtain evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Financial Information. The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants’ judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the Historical Financial Information, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the reporting accountants consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of Historical Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 2 to the Historical Financial Information in order to design procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Our work also included evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors of Win Lead, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical 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 the Historical Financial Information gives, for the purposes of the accountants’ report, a true and fair view of the Win Lead Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2014, 2015 and 2016 and 30 June 2017, and of the Win Lead Group’s financial performance and cash flows for the Track Record Period in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in Note 2 to the Historical Financial Information.
Review of stub period comparative financial information
We have reviewed the stub period comparative financial information of the Win Lead Group which comprises the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended 30 June 2016 and other explanatory information (the “Stub Period Comparative Financial Information”). The directors of Win Lead are responsible for the preparation of the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 2 to the Historical Financial Information. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the HKICPA. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope that an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information, for the purposes of the accountants’ report, is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 2 to the Historical Financial Information.

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
- Note: Due to cross boarder remittance restriction, certain fellow subsidiaries of a shareholder (the “Financing Shareholder”) of Win Lead have unilaterally provided RMB denominated onshore loan in the PRC to 江蘇九西 as its working capital during the Track Record Period. According to the shareholders deed of Win Lead, the other shareholder of Win Lead should at the same time provide a shareholder loan with the same amount to Win Lead, and Win Lead should on-lend such amount to the Financing Shareholder to offset the funding unilaterally provided by the fellow subsidiaries of the Financing Shareholder.
The movement of on-lending loan granted by Win Lead to the Financing Shareholder was now included in “(increase) decrease in amounts due from shareholders” under investing activities, whereas the unilateral provision of onshore loan by the fellow subsidiaries of the Financing Shareholder was now included in the “advances from / (repayment to) related companies” under financing activities.

NOTES TO THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. GENERAL
Win Lead Holdings Limited (“Win Lead”) is a private limited liability company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. The address of the registered office of Win Lead is Vistra Corporate Services Centre, Wickhams Cay II, Road Town, Tortola, VG 1110, the British Virgin Islands.
Win Lead and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Win Lead Group”) are principally engaged in property development and investment in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). The principal activities of Win Lead’s subsidiaries are set out in note 17.
The Historical Financial Information is presented in RMB, which is also the functional currency of Win Lead.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Historical Financial Information of the Win Lead Group has been prepared for inclusion in the Circular in connection with the proposed acquisition of 50% equity interest in Win Lead by the Group.
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared based on the accounting policies set out in note 4 which conform with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) issued by International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). In addition, the Historical Financial Information includes applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange.
3. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED IFRSS
For the purpose of preparing and presenting the Historical Financial Information for the Track Record Period, the Win Lead Group has consistently applied the IFRSs, which are effective throughout the Track Record Period.
— II-55 —
APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
New and amendments to IFRSs in issue but not yet effective
The Win Lead Group has not early applied the following new and amendments to IFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective:
IFRSs (Amendments) Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2014 - 2016 Cycle except for amendments to IFRS 12[1] IFRS 2 (Amendments) Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions[1] IFRS 4 (Amendments) Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts[1] IFRS 9 Financial Instruments[1] IFRS 10 and IAS 28 (Amendments) Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture[3] IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and the related Amendments[1] IFRS 16 Leases[2] IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts[4] IFRIC 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration[1] IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments[2] IAS 40 (Amendments) Transfers of Investment Property[1]
-
1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018
-
2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019
-
3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after a date to be determined
-
4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
IFRS 15 was issued in 2014 which establishes a single model to deal with revenue arising from contracts with customers. When IFRS 15 becomes effective, IFRS 15 will supersede IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and the related interpretations when it becomes effective.
IFRS 15 introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition:
-
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
-
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
-
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
-
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
-
Step 5: Recognise revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation
— II-56 —
APPENDIX II
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
With regard to step 5, an entity should recognise revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when “control” of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer. Specifically, IFRS 15 requires entities to recognise revenue over time when certain conditions are met. Far more prescriptive guidance has been added in IFRS 15 to deal with specific scenarios. Furthermore, extensive disclosures are required by IFRS 15.
In 2016, the IASB issued Clarifications to IFRS 15 in relation to the identification of performance obligations, principal versus agent considerations, as well as licensing application guidance.
The directors of Win Lead anticipate that the application of IFRS 15 in the future may result in more disclosures, however, the directors of Win Lead do not anticipate that the application of IFRS 15 will have a material impact on the timing and amounts of revenue recognised in the respective reporting periods.
Except as described above, the directors of Win Lead anticipate that the application of other new and amendments to IFRSs will have no material impact on the results and financial position of the Win Lead Group.
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost basis at the end of each reporting periods, 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 Win Lead 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 at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in the Historical Financial Information is determined on such a basis, except for leasing transactions that are within the scope of IAS 17 Leases , and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in IAS 2 Inventories or value in use in IAS 36 Impairment of Assets .
Basis of consolidation
The Historical Financial Information incorporate the financial statements of Win Lead and entities controlled by Win Lead (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved when Win Lead:
- has power over the investee;
— II-57 —
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
APPENDIX II
-
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 Win Lead Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the elements of control listed above.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year/period are included in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Win Lead Group gains control until the date when the Win Lead Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Win Lead Group.
All inter-company transactions and balances within the Win Lead Group are eliminated on consolidation.
Acquisition of a subsidiary not constituting a business
When the Win Lead Group acquires a group of assets and liabilities that does not constitute a business, the Win Lead Group identifies and recognises the individual identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed by allocating the purchase price first to the financial assets and financial liabilities at the respective fair value, the remaining balance of the purchase price is then allocated to other individual identifiable assets and liabilities on the basis of their relative fair values at the date of purchase. Such a transaction does not give rise to goodwill or bargain purchase gain.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods sold in the normal course of business, net of sales related taxes.
Sales of properties
Revenue from the sale of properties in the ordinary course of business is recognised when properties are delivered, and when all the following criteria are met:
-
the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the properties are transferred to buyers;
-
neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control control over the properties are retained;
-
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
— II-58 —
APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
-
it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Win Lead Group; and
-
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
Payments received from purchasers prior to this stage are recorded as sales deposits received under current liabilities.
Others
Interest income from a financial asset 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.
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.
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the relevant lease term. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to enter into an operating lease are recognised as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.
Properties held for sale
Properties held for sale are completed properties and are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs relating to the development of properties, comprising prepaid lease payments for land, development costs and borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Win Lead Group’s accounting policy and other direct costs attributable to such properties, are included in properties under development for sale until such time when they are completed. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all anticipated costs to be incurred in marketing and selling.
Properties under development for sale
Properties under development, which are intended to be held for sale, are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs relating to the development of properties includes prepaid lease payments for land, development costs and borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Win Lead Group’s accounting policy and other direct costs attributable to such properties. These assets are recorded as current assets as they are expected to be realised in, or are intended for sale within the Win Lead Group’s normal operating cycle. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all anticipated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing and selling. Upon completion, the assets are recorded as properties held for sale.
— II-59 —
APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
Furniture, fixture and equipment
Furniture, fixture and equipment are stated at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of items of furniture, fixture and equipment over their estimated useful lives and after taking into account their estimated residual value, if any, using the straight-line method. Both the useful life of an asset and its residual value and depreciation method, if any, are reviewed annually.
An item of furniture, fixture and equipment is derecognised 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 derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the year/period in which the item is derecognised.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. Capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases when 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 capitalisation.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which they are incurred.
Impairment of assets
At the end of the reporting period, the Win Lead Group reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss.
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 is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.
When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.
— II-60 —
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
APPENDIX II
Taxation
Taxation represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year/period. Taxable profit differs from “profit/loss before taxation” as reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because it excludes income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Win Lead 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 recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Historical Financial Information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the Win Lead Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences 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 recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise 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 profit 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 realised, 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 Win Lead Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
— II-61 —
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
APPENDIX II
Foreign currencies
In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity (foreign currencies) are recorded in the respective functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates) at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the end of the reporting period. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
Retirement benefits costs
Payments to state-managed retirement benefit schemes are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the consolidated statement of financial position when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value.
Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.
Financial assets
The Win Lead Group’s financial assets are classified as loans and receivables. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and determined at the time of initial recognition. The accounting policies adopted in respect of each category of financial assets are set out below.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees on 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 asset or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments.
— II-62 —
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
APPENDIX II
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables (including other receivables, deposits, amounts due from shareholders and related companies, restricted bank deposits and bank balances and cash) are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment loss (see the accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below).
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for any impairment at the end of the 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 assets, 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 contracts, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or
-
it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation.
An impairment loss is measured as 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 amounts of financial assets are reduced by impairment directly.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
Financial liabilities and equity
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Win Lead Group are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into 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 Win Lead are recognised as the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
— II-63 —
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
APPENDIX II
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised 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 recognised on an effective interest basis.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities (including other payables, loans from shareholders, amounts due to related companies and bank borrowings) are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire or, the financial assets are transferred and the Win Lead Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.
5. KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Win Lead Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 4, the directors of Win Lead are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and 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 ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The key estimates and assumptions that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
— II-64 —
APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
Determination of net realisable value of properties under development for sale and properties held for sale
Properties under development for sale and properties held for sale are stated at lower of the cost and net realisable value. The carrying value of properties under development for sale as at 31 December 2014, 2015, 2016 and 30 June 2017 were RMB504,137,525, RMB704,441,192, RMB988,986,349 and RMB658,586,285 respectively and properties held for sale as at 31 December 2014, 2015, 2016 and 30 June 2017 were nil, nil, nil and RMB45,760,473 respectively.
The net realisable value is the estimated selling price (based on the direct comparison method) less estimated selling expenses and estimated cost of completion (if any), which are determined based on the best available information and valuation performed by independent professional valuers. When the estimated selling prices is higher than the carrying value after impairment losses, reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income.
6. REVENUE AND SEGMENT INFORMATION
Segment information reported to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the directors of Win Lead, for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance focuses on the single principal operating segment of the Win Lead Group, which is property development and sales. The segment information is prepared based on accounting policies set out in note 4 and the CODM reviews the consolidated financial information of the Win Lead Group as a whole.
Segment revenue represents revenue of the Win Lead Group. Segment profit represents the profit earned by property development and sales, and represented as (loss) profit for the year/period in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
The Win Lead Group’s operations and non-current assets are all located in the PRC within a single reportable segment. Therefore, no further analysis of segment information is presented.

(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Win Lead Group’s financial instruments include other receivables, deposits, amounts due from shareholders and related companies, restricted bank deposits, bank balances and cash, other payables, loans from shareholders, amounts due to related companies and bank borrowings. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The Win Lead Group manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented in a timely and effective manner.
Market risk
The Win Lead Group is exposed primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.
Foreign currency risk
Certain transactions of the Win Lead Group are denominated in foreign currencies which are different from the functional currency of Win Lead and its subsidiaries, i.e. RMB and therefore the Win Lead Group is exposed to foreign currency risk.
The Win Lead Group does not use any derivative contracts to hedge against its exposure to currency risk. The Win Lead Group manages its foreign currency risk by closely monitoring the movement of the foreign currency rate.
The carrying amounts of the Win Lead Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period are as follows:
| Assets Hong Kong Dollars (“HKD”) USD EURO Liabilities HKD EURO |
As at 31 December 2014 2015 2016 RMB RMB RMB 116,681,356 28,594 4,461 612 329 351 309 295 304 853,559 5,389,402 7,867,596 — 5,959,968 6,137,712 |

APPENDIX II
Foreign currency sensitivity
The foreign currency risk is mainly concentrated on the fluctuation of the foreign currencies against RMB. The following table details the Win Lead Group’s sensitivity to a 7% change in the RMB against the relevant foreign currencies.
The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the year/period end for a 7% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number indicates a decrease in the loss for the years ended 31 December 2014, 2015 and 2016, and an increase in the profit for the six months ended 30 June 2017 where the RMB strengthens 7% against the relevant foreign currencies. A negative number indicates an increase in the loss for the years ended 31 December 2014, 2015 and 2016, and a decrease in the profit for the six months ended 30 June 2017. For a 7% weakening of the RMB against the relevant foreign currencies, there would be an equal and opposite impact on the results.

| EURO | (22) | 417,177 | 429,619 | 455,654 |
Interest rate risk
The Win Lead Group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to variable-rate restricted bank deposits and bank balances and variable-rate bank borrowings. The Win Lead Group’s cash flow interest rate risk is mainly concentrated on the fluctuation of prevailing interest rate and Prescribed Interest Rate of the People’s Bank of China arising from the Win Lead Group’s restricted bank deposits and bank balances and bank borrowings respectively. It is the Win Lead Group’s policy to keep its borrowings at floating rate of interests so as to minimise the fair value interest rate risk.
Interest rate sensitivity
The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates at the end of each reporting period. The analysis is prepared assuming the financial instruments outstanding at the end of each reporting period were outstanding for the whole year/period. A 100 basis points increase or decrease in variable-rate restricted bank deposits, bank balances and bank borrowings are used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
— II-76 —
APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORTS OF THE TARGET GROUPS
If interest rates had been 100 basis points higher and all other variables were held constant, the Win Lead Group’s loss for the years ended 31 December 2014, 2015 and 2016 would decrease/ (increase) and the profit for the six months ended 30 June 2017 would increase as below. For interest rates had been 100 basis points lower, there would be an equal and opposite impact on the results:
| Six months | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ended | ||||
| **Year ** | ended 31 December | 30 June | ||

| Decrease (increase) in loss for the year/ | ||||
| increase in profit for the period | 35,287 | (412,422) | 1,411,988 | 877,309 |
Credit risk
The Win Lead Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in the event of the counterparties’ failure to perform their obligations in relation to the recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as stated in the consolidated statement of financial position.
The management closely monitors its credit exposure on regular basis to minimise its credit risk throughout the period. In addition, the Win Lead Group reviews the recoverability of amount due from each counterparty at the end of each reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts.
At 31 December 2014, 2015 and 2016, the credit risk of the Win Lead Group was primarily attributable to and concentrated on amounts due from shareholders, while at 30 June 2017, the credit risk of the Win Lead Group was primarily attributable to and concentrated on amounts due from related companies and shareholders. Since the amounts and loans owed by the Win Lead Group to the shareholders and related companies exceed the respective amounts due from them, the directors of Win Lead do not expect to incur a significant loss for uncollected amounts due from shareholders and related companies.
The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies or state-owned banks in the PRC.
Liquidity risk
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the directors of Win Lead which has built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Win Lead Group’s funding and liquidity management requirements. The Win Lead Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.

26. ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY INVENTORIES THROUGH ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARY
In October 2013, Win Lead entered into the sale and purchase agreement with an independent third party for the acquisition of 65% equity interest in 江蘇九西 at a consideration of RMB330,000,000. The transaction was completed in February 2014. According to the sale and purchase agreement, Win Lead has committed to increase the registered capital of 江蘇九西 to RMB245,000,000. After the capital injection, the shareholding held by Win Lead has increased from 65% to 73.57%.
In addition, Win Lead has acquired the remaining 26.43% equity interest from an independent third party at a consideration of RMB68,000,000. The transaction was completed in September 2014.
Since then, 江蘇九西 became the wholly-owned subsidiary of Win Lead.
The assets acquired and liabilities assumed did not constitute a business combination as defined in IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” and therefore, the acquisition was accounted for as assets acquisition.

APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
-
The figures are extracted from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group as set out in the published interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2017.
-
The adjustment represents the inclusion of the assets and liabilities of the Cosy Rich Group, as extracted from the audited consolidated statement of financial position of the Cosy Rich Group as at 30 June 2017, as set out in Appendix II to this circular, and translated into HK$ at an exchange rate of RMB1.0 = HK$1.161.
-
The adjustment represents the inclusion of the assets and liabilities of the Win Lead Group, as extracted from the audited consolidated statement of financial position of the Win Lead Group as at 30 June 2017, as set out in Appendix II to this circular, and translated into HK$ at an exchange rate of RMB1.0 = HK$1.161.
-
The adjustment reflects the acquisition of the remaining 50% share interest in Cosy Rich and the CR Shareholder’s Loan under the CR Sale and Purchase Agreement.
Upon Completion, Wealth Frame will settle the CR Consideration amounting to HK$42 million, and assume the CR Shareholder’s Loan of HK$148 million from the CR Vendor.
The identifiable assets and liabilities of the Cosy Rich Group will be accounted for at their fair values using the acquisition accounting method in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard 3 (Revised) “Business Combinations” (“HKFRS 3”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”).
For the purpose of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the Directors assumed that the pro forma fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Cosy Rich Group are approximated to their respective carrying amounts at 30 June 2017 and hence the fair value adjustment is immaterial. The Directors estimated the fair value of the property inventories as at 30 June 2017 with reference to the properties valuation carried out by Savills, an independent professional valuer not connected with the Group.
The adjustment of HK$184 million mainly represents reinstatement of the Group’s advances to the Cosy Rich Group, which was previously reduced under equity accounting.
— III-4 —
APPENDIX III
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
The recognition of goodwill on acquisition as if the CR Acquisition had been completed as at 30 June 2017 is as follows:
| HK$ million | |
|---|---|
| CR Consideration | 42 |
| Share of post-acquisition loss in excess of cost of investment, adjusted for | |
| unrealised interest and others (note (i)) | (162) |
| Carrying amount of identifiable net liabilities assumed | 306 |
| Carrying amount of the CR Shareholder’s Loan assumed | (148) |
| Other fair value adjustment | 11 |
| Recognition of deferred tax liabilities | 8 |
| Pro forma goodwill arising on acquisition and fully impaired (note (ii)) | 57 |
-
(i) As a consequence of the CR Acquisition, Cosy Rich will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company by way of step acquisition, as previously the Group accounted for its 50% share interest in Cosy Rich as interests in joint ventures. Under HKFRS 3, the Group is required to recognise a gain or loss between the carrying value of its previously held interest in Cosy Rich (while it is classified as interests in joint ventures) and the fair value of this interest at the date of the CR Acquisition. The Directors estimated the fair value of the Group’s existing interest in Cosy Rich at the date of the CR Acquisition is approximated to its book value, which was previously recognised as interests in joint ventures by the Group at 30 June 2017, having no material profit or loss impact on the re-measurement of previously held interest as a result of the step acquisition of Cosy Rich.
-
(ii) The Directors have assessed whether the amount of pro forma goodwill may be impaired in accordance with HKAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”. The Directors conclude that there is a full impairment of pro forma goodwill based on the estimation of the recoverable amount which is the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the Cosy Rich Group.
Since the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Cosy Rich Group as at the date of completion when the Group obtains control over Cosy Rich will be different from their respective fair values used in the preparation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the actual amount of the identifiable assets and liabilities, and goodwill or discount on acquisition, whichever is applicable, to be recognised by the Group in its financial statements will be different from the estimated amounts shown in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.
— III-5 —
APPENDIX III
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
- The adjustment reflects the acquisition of the remaining 50% share interest in Win Lead and the WL Shareholder’s Loan under the WL Sale and Purchase Agreement.
Upon Completion, Wealth Frame will settle the WL Consideration amounting to HK$294 million, and assume the WL Shareholder’s Loan of HK$284 million from the WL Vendor.
The identifiable assets and liabilities of the Win Lead Group will be accounted for at their fair values using the acquisition accounting method in accordance with HKFRS 3 issued by the HKICPA.
For the purpose of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the Directors assumed that with the exception of property inventories, the pro forma fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Win Lead Group are approximated to their respective carrying amounts at 30 June 2017. The Directors estimated the fair value of the property inventories as at 30 June 2017 with reference to the properties valuation carried out by Savills, an independent professional valuer not connected with the Group.
The recognition of discount on acquisition as if the WL Acquisition had been completed as at 30 June 2017 is as follows:
| HK$ million | |
|---|---|
| WL Consideration | 294 |
| Fair value of the existing 50% share interest in Win Lead (note (i)) | 52 |
| Carrying amount of identifiable net assets acquired | (63) |
| Carrying amount of the WL Shareholder’s Loan assumed | (284) |
| Fair value adjustments to property inventories (note (ii)) | (73) |
| Recognition of deferred tax liabilities | 32 |
| Pro forma discount on acquisition | (42) |
- (i) As a consequence of the WL Acquisition, Win Lead will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company by way of step acquisition, as previously the Group accounted for its 50% share interest in Win Lead as interests in joint ventures. Under HKFRS 3, the Group is required to recognise a gain or loss between the carrying value of its previously held interest in Win Lead (while it is classified as interests in joint ventures) and the fair value of this interest at the date of the WL Acquisition. The Directors estimated the fair value of the Group’s existing interest in Win Lead at the date of the WL Acquisition, with reference to the properties valuation, was approximately HK$52 million, which represented 50% of the business valuation of Win Lead, net of the carrying value of nil, which was previously recognised as interests in joint ventures by the Group at 30 June 2017, giving rise to a pro forma gain on step acquisition of Win Lead of HK$52 million.
— III-6 —
APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
- (ii) The fair value adjustments represent the difference between (a) the aggregate of fair values of the properties held for sale and properties under development for sale totaling RMB768 million (equivalent to approximately HK$891 million); and (b) the aggregate of carrying amounts of properties held for sale and properties under development for sale totaling HK$818 million.
Since the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Win Lead Group as at the date of completion when the Group obtains control over Win Lead will be different from their respective fair values used in the preparation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the actual amount of the identifiable assets and liabilities, and goodwill or discount on acquisition, whichever is applicable, to be recognised by the Group in its financial statements will be different from the estimated amounts shown in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.
-
The adjustment reflects elimination of intercompany balances within the Enlarged Group. The increase in net assets of HK$7 million after elimination of intercompany balances mainly represents the exchange difference between the exchange rates adopted in preparation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information and the interim report of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2017.
-
No adjustment has been made to the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information for acquisition-related costs (including fees to legal advisors, reporting accountants, valuers, and other expenses) as the Directors determined that such costs are insignificant. The total acquisition-related costs are estimated to be approximately HK$2 million.
-
No adjustments have been made to adjust any trading results or other transactions of the Group or the Target Groups subsequent to 30 June 2017.

B. INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
The following is the text of a report received from the reporting accountants, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, Certified Public Accountants, Hong Kong, for the purpose of inclusion in this circular, in respect of the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as set out in Section A of Appendix III to this circular.
To the Directors of SOCAM Development Limited
We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of unaudited pro forma financial information of SOCAM Development Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Group”) by the directors of the Company (the “Directors”) for illustrative purposes only. The unaudited pro forma financial information consists of the unaudited pro forma statement of assets and liabilities as at 30 June 2017 and related notes as set out on pages III-1 to III-7 of the circular issued by the Company dated 24 October 2017 (the “Circular”). The applicable criteria on the basis of which the Directors have compiled the unaudited pro forma financial information are described on pages III-1 to III-7 of the Circular.
The unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled by the Directors to illustrate the impact of the conditional acquisition of 50% interest in Cosy Rich Limited and 50% interest in Win Lead Holdings Limited on the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2017 as if the transactions had taken place at 30 June 2017. 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 six months ended 30 June 2017, on which a review report has been published.
Directors’ Responsibilities for the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The Directors are responsible for compiling the unaudited 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 Accounting Guideline 7 “Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars” (“AG 7”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”).
Our Independence and Quality Control
We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the “Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants” issued by the HKICPA, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behavior. Our firm applies Hong Kong Standard on Quality Control 1 “Quality Control for Firms that Perform Audits and Reviews of Financial Statements, and Other Assurance and Related Services Engagements” issued by the HKICPA and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Reporting Accountants’ Responsibilities
Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by paragraph 4.29(7) of the Listing Rules, on the unaudited 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 unaudited 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 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 plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Directors have compiled the unaudited 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 unaudited pro forma financial information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the unaudited pro forma financial information.
The purpose of unaudited pro forma financial information included in an investment circular is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant event or transaction on unadjusted financial information of the Group as if the event had occurred or the transactions 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 June 2017 would have been as presented.
A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the unaudited pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the Directors in the compilation of the unaudited pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:
-
the related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and
-
the unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.
The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants’ judgment, having regard to the reporting accountants’ understanding of the nature of the Group, the event or transaction in respect of which the unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.
The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the unaudited pro forma financial information.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ON THE TARGET GROUPS
APPENDIX IV
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ON THE TARGET GROUPS
Set out below is the management discussion and analysis on the Target Groups for the financial years ended 31 December 2014, 2015, 2016, and the six months ended 30 June 2016 and 2017 (the “Relevant Periods”).
The Cosy Rich Group principally engages in property development and investment, and owns the Tianjin Project known as “Tianjin Veneto” located in the Wuqing District of Tianjin, the PRC. This high-grade mall has a total leasable floor area of approximately 98,000 square metres.
Phase 1 of the Tianjin Project was completed in 2014 and has been in operation since January 2015. It is designed as a niche retail mall, featuring Italian style pedestrian lanes. The mall revamping plan that began in 2016 will be completed by end of 2017. The Group has recently adjusted the tenant mix and upgraded facilities with the aim of providing visitors with the best possible experience. While enhancement works are ongoing, performance of the mall was adversely affected during the six months ended 30 June 2017. The occupancy rate of the mall was down 40% amid the change of the tenant mix, while footfall has seen a year-on-year increase in June 2017, an encouraging trend.
With regard to Phases 2 and 3 of the Tianjin Project, the development plan is being finalised for submission to the local government for approval.
The selling prices of retail spaces in Tianjin have recently experienced strong upsurge, and the Group considers that there will be considerable potential upside in the sales of the commercial premises in Phases 2 and 3 of the Tianjin Project after completion of development. In addition, China announced the “Xiongan New Area” plan in April 2017, destined to create a new economic zone and absorb part of the non-capital functions of Beijing over time. The zone is expected to emulate and improve on the success of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and the Shanghai Pudong New Area. Established neighbouring cities, including the port city of Tianjin, where the Tianjin Project is situated, look set to benefit in the medium and long term.
The Win Lead Group principally engages in property development, and owns the Nanjing Project, a property development project known as “Nanjing Scenic Villa” located in the Jiangning District of Nanjing, the PRC. The development, expected to comprise 344 villas on completion, has a total developable gross floor area of approximately 134,000 square metres and offers distinctive low-rise apartments with balconies in a garden and lakeside setting.
Phase 1 of the Nanjing Project was completed in January 2017, and the remaining phases are expected to be completed in 2019. Pre-sale of Phase 1 villas started in August 2015. Over 95% of the villas in Phase 1 has been sold, with 98% of the sold units handed over to buyers in the second quarter of 2017. Pre-sale of the first batch of villas in Phase 2 of the Nanjing Project commenced in July 2016, and over 80% of the villas launched for pre-sale was sold or subscribed for with a total revenue of over RMB400 million (equivalent to approximately HK$464 million) up to 31 July 2017. A further sales launch of the second batch of villas in Phase 2 is scheduled for the latter half of 2017. As Nanjing is among the best performing cities in China by GDP growth, the Group expects that the demand for mid- to high-end new residence in Nanjing to remain buoyant.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ON THE TARGET GROUPS
APPENDIX IV
Financial review
Turnover and segmental information
The Cosy Rich Group
Turnover of the Cosy Rich Group represents the rental and management fee income receivable from the leasing of the completed retail portion of the Tianjin Project. No segmental information is presented since the Cosy Rich Group has one single segment which is property investment in the PRC.
For the years ended 31 December 2014, 2015 and 2016, the Cosy Rich Group reported turnover of nil, RMB17.91 million (equivalent to approximately HK$20.79 million) and RMB21.42 million (equivalent to approximately HK$24.86 million) respectively.
As Phase 1 of the Tianjin Project was opened by stages since January 2015, no turnover was recognised in 2014, whereas improvement was shown in 2016 after lease agreements with tenants were progressively signed.
For the six months ended 30 June 2016 and 2017, the Cosy Rich Group reported turnover of RMB13.02 million (equivalent to approximately HK$15.12 million) and RMB7.52 million (equivalent to approximately HK$8.73 million) respectively.
As part of the mall revamping plan of the Tianjin Project, certain underperforming old tenants have been negotiated out and the enhancement works have been actively carried out since the second half of 2016. The performance of the mall was adversely affected by this and the turnover dropped by around 40% during the six months ended 30 June 2017 when compared with the same period in 2016.
The Win Lead Group
Turnover of the Win Lead Group represents the sales of properties of the Nanjing Project. No segmental information is presented since the Win Lead Group has one single segment which is property development in the PRC.
Phase 1 of the Nanjing Project was completed in January 2017 and the pre-sold units were handed over to the buyers in the second quarter of 2017. Therefore, turnover was recognised during the six months ended 30 June 2017, while no turnover was recorded for the years ended 31 December 2014, 2015 and 2016, and the six months ended 30 June 2016.
(Loss) profit and total comprehensive (expense) income for the year/period
The Cosy Rich Group
For the years ended 31 December 2014, 2015 and 2016, the Cosy Rich Group recorded a net loss of RMB11.59 million (equivalent to approximately HK$13.46 million), RMB114.49 million (equivalent to approximately HK$132.92 million) and RMB295.23 million (equivalent to approximately HK$342.76 million) respectively.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ON THE TARGET GROUPS
APPENDIX IV
In 2014, Phase 1 of the Tianjin Project was in construction stage, various costs and expenses directly related to the construction as well as finance costs were capitalised. After completion of the construction works of that phase at the beginning of 2015, such costs and expenses were not eligible for capitalisation and have been charged to profit or loss since then.
In addition, the increase in net loss was largely due to fair value loss on investment properties/investment properties under construction, as well as impairment loss on properties held/under development for sale provided in respective financial years. For the years ended 31 December 2014, 2015 and 2016, the aggregate of fair value changes and impairment losses on properties, net of deferred tax, is gain of RMB3.30 million (equivalent to approximately HK$3.83 million), loss of RMB27.47 million (equivalent to approximately HK$31.89 million) and loss of RMB178.43 million (equivalent to approximately HK$207.16 million) respectively.
For the six months ended 30 June 2016 and 2017, the Cosy Rich Group recorded a net loss of RMB161.13 million (equivalent to approximately HK$187.07 million) and RMB54.63 million (equivalent to approximately HK$63.43 million) respectively. The decrease in net loss was mainly due to the reduction in fair value loss and impairment losses on properties, net of deferred tax, from RMB109.07 million (equivalent to approximately HK$126.63 million) to RMB5.92 million (equivalent to approximately HK$6.87 million).
The Win Lead Group
For the years ended 31 December 2014, 2015 and 2016, the Win Lead Group recorded a net loss of RMB1.84 million (equivalent to approximately HK$2.14 million), RMB17.63 million (equivalent to approximately HK$20.47 million) and RMB27.26 million (equivalent to approximately HK$31.65 million) respectively.
Pre-sale of the first phase of the villas of the Nanjng Project started in August 2015, and more sales and marketing activities were carried out since then. Increased expenses for sales commission and marketing expenses were thus incurred in 2015 and 2016.
For the six months ended 30 June 2016 and 2017, the Win Lead Group recorded a net loss of RMB11.63 million (equivalent to approximately HK$13.50 million) and a net profit of RMB37.34 million (equivalent to approximately HK$43.35 million) respectively. The net profit for the interim period of 2017 was mainly due to the recognition of property sales upon handover of the pre-sold villas of the Nanjing Project to the buyers in the second quarter of 2017, while no turnover and profit from property sales was recognised in the same period of 2016.
Liquidity and financial resources
The Target Groups manage their capital to ensure that they will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. During the Relevant Periods, the Target Groups mainly financed their operations by pre-sales of the property assets, obtaining funding from their shareholders and interest-bearing bank borrowings.

| 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | |
| RMB million | RMB million | RMB million | RMB million | |

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ON THE TARGET GROUPS
APPENDIX IV
Significant investments, material acquisitions and disposals
The Target Groups did not have any significant investments, material acquisitions or disposals of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures during the Relevant Periods.
Future Plan for Material Investments or Capital Assets
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Target Groups have no plan for material investments or capital assets.
Number and Remuneration of Employees
As at 31 December 2014, 2015, 2016 and 30 June 2017, the number of employees in the Target Groups was approximately 70, 99, 100, 96 respectively.
For the years ended 31 December 2014, 2015, 2016, and the six months ended 30 June 2017, the Target Groups reported total staff costs of RMB19.00 million (equivalent to approximately HK$22.06 million), RMB34.63 million (equivalent to approximately HK$40.21 million), RMB29.08 million (equivalent to approximately HK$33.76 million), and RMB15.92 million (equivalent to approximately HK$18.48 million) respectively.
Since the Target Groups are being managed by the Group, remuneration policies, bonus, share option schemes and training schemes of the Group have been consistently applied to the Target Groups. Please refer to the Company’s annual reports for the details of the relevant policies.
Contingent Liabilities
During the year ended 31 December 2016, the Cosy Rich Group received notices from the government authority in the PRC claiming that the Cosy Rich Group did not complete the remaining construction works of Phases 2 and 3 of the Tianjin Project by 31 May 2016, the date as stipulated in the respective land grant contracts. A penalty of 0.02% of the land cost per day may be imposed until the completion of the construction. The potential late penalties as at 31 December 2016 and 30 June 2017 are estimated to be approximately RMB9.00 million (equivalent to approximately HK$10.45 million) and RMB18.00 million (equivalent to approximately HK$20.90 million) respectively.
The management is of the view that the likelihood of being penalised is remote, since the delay is mainly caused by the changing requirements imposed by the government authorities for the approval of development plan. The management has appropriately applied for extension of the completion deadline of construction work, and proactively communicated with various government authorities to continuously adjust the development plan in order to accommodate the government’s requirement.

Dear Sirs,
Instructions
In accordance with the instructions from SOCAM Development Limited (the “Company”) for us to value the properties (the “Properties”) situated in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) held by the Target Groups, 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 you with our opinion of the market values of the Properties as at 31 July 2017 (the “valuation date”) for inclusion in a circular.
Basis of Valuation
Our valuation is our opinion of the market value of the property concerned which we would define as intended to mean “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date 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”.
Market value is understood as the value of an asset or liability estimated without regard to costs of sale or purchase (or transaction) and without offset for any associated taxes or potential taxes.

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT
APPENDIX V
Our valuation is prepared in compliance with the requirements set out in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and in accordance with The HKIS Valuation Standards (2012 Edition) published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.
Valuation Methodology
In valuing the property in Group I, which is held by the Target Groups for sale in the PRC, we have adopted the direct comparison approach by making reference to comparable sales transactions as available in the market assuming sale with benefit of vacant possession.
In valuing the property in Group II, which is held by the Target Groups for investment in the PRC, we have made reference to the comparable market transactions as available in the market and where appropriate, valued the property on the basis of capitalisation of incomes as shown on the schedules handed to us with due allowance for reversionary income potential of the properties.
In valuing the properties in Group III, which are held by the Target Groups for development, we have valued the properties on the basis that they will be developed and completed in accordance with the latest development proposals provided to us. We have assumed that all consents, approvals and licenses from relevant government authorities for the development proposals have been obtained without onerous conditions or delays. In arriving at our opinion of values, we have adopted the direct comparison approach by making reference to comparable sales transactions as available in the market and have also taken into account the costs that were expended and that will be expended to complete the developments to reflect the quality of the completed developments.
Title Investigation
We have been provided with copies of extracts of title documents relating to the Properties. However, we have not searched the original documents to verify ownership or to ascertain the existence of any amendments which may not appear on the copies provided to us. In the course of our valuation, we have relied to a very considerable extent on the information given by the Company and the legal opinion issued by the PRC’s legal adviser to the Company, Zhong Lun Law Firm (中倫律師 事務所), regarding the titles to the Properties.
Source of Information
In the course of our valuation, we have relied to a very considerable extent on information given by the Company and accepted advice given to us on such matters as planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, tenure, particulars of occupancy, development proposals, total and outstanding construction costs, estimated completion dates, site and floor areas, transaction records, sale prices, sales and purchase agreements, tenancy details and all other relevant matters. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificates are based on the information provided to us and are therefore only approximations. No on-site measurements have been taken. We have no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Company, which is material to our valuation. We have also sought confirmation from the Company that no material facts have been omitted from the information supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view.

APPENDIX V
Valuation Assumptions
In the course of our valuation, unless otherwise stated, we have assumed that transferable land use rights in respect of the Properties for their respective specific terms at nominal annual land use fees have been granted and that any land grant premium payable has already been fully paid. We have also assumed that, unless otherwise stated, the owners of the Properties have good legal titles to the Properties and have free and uninterrupted rights to use, occupy, lease or assign the Properties for the whole of the respective unexpired terms as granted.
No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on any property nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the Properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect their values.
Site Inspection
We have inspected the exterior and, wherever possible, the interior of the Properties. Site inspections of the Properties were carried out in between July and August 2017 by our Ms. Iris Pu and Mr. Sam Ngai. During the course of our inspections, we did not note any serious defects. However, no structural survey has been made and we are therefore unable to report that the Properties are free from rot, infestation and any other defects. No tests were carried out on any of the services. We have not carried out investigations on site to determine the suitability of the ground conditions and the services etc. for any future development. Our valuation is prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary expenses or delays will be incurred during the construction period.
Currency
Unless otherwise stated, all money amounts stated are in Renminbi (“RMB”).
