* For identification purpose only

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

On 11 May 2018 (after trading hours), GWPA Property exercised the Call Option for the purchase of the Sale Shares and the Sale Loan.

As the highest applicable percentage ratio calculated in respect of the Acquisition exceeds 25% but is less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction for the Company which is subject to notification, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, and as far as the Company is aware, no Shareholders is materially interested in the Call Option, the Acquisition and the transactions contemplated thereunder. No Shareholder would be required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a general meeting for approving the Acquisition. GW Holding (BVI), which is directly interested in 1,174,018,094 Shares, representing approximately 74.89% of the total issued share capital of the Company, has given its unconditional written approval to the Acquisition in lieu of holding a general meeting pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules prior to the publication of the Announcement.

The purposes of this circular are to provide the Shareholders with, among others, (i) the requisite information in relation to the Acquisition and the relevant transactions contemplated thereunder; (ii) the financial information of the Group; (iii) the accountant’s report of Patrol Hall 12 Group for the periods ended 31 December 2017 and 28 February 2018; (iv) the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group illustrating the effect of the Acquisition on the financial position of the Group as if the Acquisition had been completed on 31 December 2017; (v) management discussion and analysis of Patrol Hall 12 Group; (vi) the valuation report on Kwai Fong Plaza and other information as required under the Listing Rules.

2. DATE AND PARTIES

Except for the fact that GWPA Property has entered into the Shareholders Agreement with, among other persons, the JVCo as disclosed in the JV Investment Circular, to the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors after having made all reasonable enquiries, the JVCo and its ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of the Company and its connected persons.

3. ASSETS

The assets being the subject of the Acquisition comprise:

  • the Sale Shares, representing the entire issued shares of Patrol Hall 12; and

  • the Sale Loan, representing all of the shareholder’s loan owed by Patrol Hall 12 to its immediate holding company, Patrol Link 12, at Completion.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Call Option Notice issued by GWPA Property constitutes a binding agreement for the sale and purchase of the Sale Shares and the Sale Loan between the parties to the Call Option Deed.

Patrol Hall 12 is the sole shareholder of Ray Glory, whose sole material assets are the property interests held in Kwai Fong Plaza. Through the acquisition of Patrol Hall 12 pursuant to the exercise of the Call Option, the Group will effectively acquire Kwai Fong Plaza indirectly.

As disclosed in the JV Investment Circular, the amount of the Advance committed by GWPA Property would not exceed HK$743,000,000. The actual amount of the Advance provided to the JVCo by GWPA Property is HK$725,051,488.

The amount of the Purchase Price is agreed at arm’s length after commercial negotiations between the JVCo and GWPA Property. The Purchase Price is determined primarily based on the costs of acquisition of Kwai Fong Plaza by the JV Group (including the related costs and expenses such as stamp duties incurred for its acquisition and the exercise of the Call Option) minus the Bank Borrowings of approximately HK$901,657,000, which will remain after Completion. In agreeing to the Purchase Price, the Directors have also taken into account other factors including the reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition set out below and the market value of Kwai Fong Plaza valued by an independent property valuer engaged by the Group as disclosed in the JV Investment Circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Earnings

Upon Completion, rental income generated from Kwai Fong Plaza will become revenue of the Enlarged Group and it is expected that the Acquisition would enhance the Enlarged Group’s development in property industry and broaden its earnings base. In addition, Kwai Fong Plaza will be accounted for as investment property of the Enlarged Group and will be subject to annual fair value assessment. Any fair value change of Kwai Fong Plaza will also be recognised in the profit or loss of the Enlarged Group.

Further details of the financial effect of the Acquisition on the earnings of the Enlarged Group together with the basis in preparing the unaudited pro forma financial information are set out in Appendix IV to this circular.

8. REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

The Group is principally engaged in (i) property investment business and (ii) provision of financial services.

The Board is of the view that the Acquisition will bring the following key benefits to the Group:

(1) Well-established property with promising outlook

Built in 2000, Kwai Fong Plaza is a relatively new property among the Portfolio Assets, of which the decorations and facilities have been enhanced after the renovation in 2009. At present, Kwai Fong Plaza is overall in a good condition and enjoys excellent accessibility, being within five minutes walking distance to Kwai Fong Station of the Mass Transit Railway, with entrance drawing passengers to and from the station; another Mass Transit Railway station, Kwai Hing Station, is also situated at about five minutes’ walking distance from Kwai Fong Plaza. Developments in the vicinity comprise public rental housing blocks within Kwai Fong Plaza, private residential developments such as Kwai Chung Plaza and New Kwai Fong Gardens etc. and some medium/high rise residential/commercial composite buildings. There is also a cluster of industrial buildings located on the southeastern side of Kwai Fong Plaza. These provide Kwai Fong Plaza with a more steady and positive prospect in the years to come.

(2) Diversify investment property portfolio with a steady income stream

The Board believes that the Acquisition would constitute an important step of the Group towards diversification of its investment property portfolio. Kwai Fong Plaza has strong occupancy rate and a diversified tenant portfolio, of which the occupancy rate at 30 September 2017 and 31 March 2017 was 94.1% and 95.5%, respectively. This offers a stable and attractive rental income stream for the Company after Completion. Kwai Fong Plaza has a high quality tenant mix that features both local and multinational tenants, which will further enhance the overall quality of the tenants of the investment property portfolio of the Group.

– 11 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(3) The Acquisition is consistent with the Group’s development plans and growth strategy

As stated in the JV Investment Circular, in order to generate favourable investment returns to the Shareholders, the Group continues to enhance its potential long-term growth by, among others, proactively seeking different investment opportunities in the property segment. The Acquisition is a significant opportunity for the Group to expand its own property portfolio, and to consolidate the continuing development of its principal business activities in property sector. The addition of Kwai Fong Plaza to the Group’s property portfolio through the Acquisition will enable the Group to gain an immediate retail presence, thus improving its existing position and potential for further development within the property industry in Hong Kong in the long term. The Acquisition is consistent with the Group’s development plans and growth strategy.

(4) Full consolidation of financial results of Patrol Hall 12 and Ray Glory

Upon Completion, both Patrol Hall 12 and Ray Glory will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. Their financial results will be fully consolidated into that of the Group, which would create additional source of revenue and bring direct contributions to the profits of the Group as a whole.

The Directors believe that the terms of the Acquisition are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Acquisition is carried out as one of the Group’s principal activities in property investment business. The Company intends that Kwai Fong Plaza will continue in its existing use for leasing purposes in the foreseeable future. To continue generating stable rental income for the Group, the Group will coordinate with the manager (who is responsible for the daily operation and management of Kwai Fong Plaza) to formulate development and strategic plans to optimise the tenant mix and maximize the occupancy rate of and rental income from Kwai Fong Plaza.

9. LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As the highest applicable percentage ratio calculated in respect of the Acquisition exceeds 25% but is less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction for the Company which is subject to notification, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, and as far as the Company is aware, no Shareholder is materially interested in the Call Option, the Acquisition and the transactions contemplated thereunder. No Shareholder would be required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a general meeting for approving the Acquisition. GW Holding (BVI), which is directly interested

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

10. RECOMMENDATIONS

Although no general meeting will be convened for approving the Acquisition, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) believe that the Acquisition and transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable and are in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, if the general meeting were convened for approving the Acquisition, the Directors would have recommended the Shareholders to vote in favour of the Acquisition.

The Directors are of the opinion that, after due and careful enquiry and taking into account the financial resources available to the Enlarged Group, including the internally generated funds, cash flows from operations, bank borrowings and the Great Wall International Shareholder’s Loan, the Enlarged Group has sufficient working capital to satisfy its present requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of this circular.

5. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board was not aware of any material adverse change in the financial or trading position or outlook of the Group since 31 December 2017, the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Group were made up.

6. FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS PROSPECTS

The Group is principally engaged in (i) property investment business and (ii) provision of financial services.

With the earnest efforts of the Group’s management and each operation team, the Group focused on the development of its existing businesses and has achieved considerable progress in 2017 with remarkable growth in revenue and operating profit, which lays a solid foundation for our future development.

The Directors believe that the Acquisition as a whole represents a strategic step for the Group to create a meaningful presence in the Hong Kong property market and will improve its existing position and potential for further development within the property industry in Hong Kong in the long term.

Reporting accountant’s 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 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 accountant’s 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 accountant considers 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 2.1 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, 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 accountant’s report, a true and fair view of the financial position of the Target as at 31 December 2017 and 28 February 2018 and the consolidated financial position of the Target Group as at 31 December 2017 and 28 February 2018 and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the Track Record Period in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in Note 2.1 to the Historical Financial Information.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF PATROL HALL 12 GROUP

APPENDIX II

II. NOTES TO THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1 GENERAL INFORMATION

Patrol Hall 12 Limited (the “Target”) is a limited liability company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. The address of its registered office is Nerine Chambers, P.O. Box 905, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands.

The Target’s ordinary share is directly wholly-owned by Patrol Link 12 Limited and indirectly wholly-owned by Everwell City Limited, where both companies are incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. The directors consider Patrol Link 12 Limited as the immediate holding company and Everwell City Limited as the ultimate holding company of the Target.

The principal activity of the Target is property investment. The Target has no employees.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of Historical Financial Information are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied for the period presented, unless otherwise stated.

2.1 Basis of preparation

The Historical Financial Information of the Target have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”), issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”).

The Historical Financial Information have been prepared on a going concern basis and under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of investment property.

As at 31 December 2017 and 28 February 2018, the Target Group had net liabilities of HK$44,167 and HK$79,275 respectively. The immediate holding company, Patrol Link 12 Limited, has confirmed that it will not request repayment of the amount of HK$274,682,022 and HK$725,051,480 due to it as at 31 December 2017 and 28 February 2018 respectively until the Target Group is financially capable of doing so. As such, as of 31 December 2017 and 28 February 2018, the Target Group is able to meet its liabilities as they fall due and to continue its operations in the foreseeable future.

The preparation of Historical Financial Information in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Target’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Historical Financial Information are disclosed in Note 3.

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

There are no HKFRSs or HK(IFRIC) interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Target.

2.2 Foreign currency translation

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Target Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The Target’s functional currency is Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”) and the financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars, the Target’s presentation currency.

– II-9 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF PATROL HALL 12 GROUP

APPENDIX II

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

2.3 Subsidiaries

2.3.1 Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries made up to 31 December 2017.

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Except for acquisitions under common control as described in Note 2(c), the Group uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.

The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis. Non-controlling interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation are measured at either fair value or the present ownership interests’ proportionate share in the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other components of non-controlling interests are measured at their acquisition date fair value, unless another measurement basis is required by HKFRS.

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, noncontrolling interest recognised and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in the statement of comprehensive income.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated. When necessary, amounts reported by subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform with the Group’s accounting policies.

Interests in subsidiaries in the Company’s balance sheet are accounted for at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes direct attributable costs of investment. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividend received and receivable.

Impairment testing of the investments in subsidiaries is required upon receiving a dividend from these investments if the dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of the subsidiary in the period the dividend is declared or if the carrying amount of the investment in the separate financial statements exceeds the carrying amount in the consolidated financial statements of the investee’s net assets including goodwill.

When the Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is re-measured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an

– II-10 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF PATROL HALL 12 GROUP

APPENDIX II

associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

2.3.2 Separate financial statements

Investment in a subsidiary is accounted for at cost less impairment. Cost includes direct attributable costs of investment. The result of subsidiary is accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividend received and receivable. Impairment testing of the investment in subsidiary is required upon receiving a dividend from these investments if the dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of the subsidiary in the period the dividend is declared or if the carrying amount of the investment in the separate financial statements exceeds the carrying amount in the consolidated financial statements of the investee’s net assets including goodwill.

2.4 Investment property

Investment property is property that are held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. Investment property is measured initially at costs, including directly attributable transaction costs. Directly attributable transaction costs include, for example, professional fees for legal services, property transfer taxes and other transaction costs. After initial recognition, investment property is carried at fair values, with changes in fair values recognised in the profit or loss. The method used to determine the fair value of the investment property are set out in Note 6.6 to the consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent expenditure on an investment property is included in the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Target Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

2.5 Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognised when the Target Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made.

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Target Group. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised because it is not probable that outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably.

A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the Historical Financial Statements. When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that outflow is probable, it will then be recognised as a provision.

2.6 Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for amounts that are settled or expected to be settled more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets.

Loans and receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of loans and receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Target will not be able to collect amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the assets is reduced through the use of an allowance account, and the amount of the loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

2.7 Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity where there is no obligation to transfer cash and other assets.

– II-11 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF PATROL HALL 12 GROUP

APPENDIX II

2.8 Payables

Payables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

2.9 Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised as finance cost over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method when appropriate.

Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Target Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the date of the statement of financial position.

2.10 Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Target or the counterparty.

2.11 Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. The Target recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured; it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity; and specific criteria have been met for each of the Target’s activities. Interest income is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income using the effective interest method.

2.12 Expenses

Expenses are accounted for on an accrual basis.

2.13 Current and deferred income tax

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred income tax. Tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

(a) Current income tax

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date in the countries where the Target operates and generates taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions, where appropriate, on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

(b) Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is recognised on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or a liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

– II-12 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF PATROL HALL 12 GROUP

APPENDIX II

Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Target Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. For the purposes of measuring deferred tax for investment properties that are measured using the fair value model, such properties’ value are presumed to be recovered through sale.

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.

(c) Offsetting

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority.

2.14 Cash and bank balances

In the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.

3 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience as adjusted for current market conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Management makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates may not equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are outlined below.

Fair value of investment property

The fair value of investment properties was calculated using valuation technique. When reviewing the fair value, management makes reference to related information such as recent transactions of similar property in the market.

The valuation is reviewed by an independent professionally qualified valuer, who holds a relevant recognised professional qualification and has recent experience in the locations and segments of the investment property being valued. The qualified valuer considers the information from a variety of sources including but not limited to (i) comparable sales transactions as available in the relevant market and (ii) rental income derived from the existing tenancies with due provision for any reversionary income potential. Management considers that the purchase cost of the investment property is approximately its fair value as at 28 February 2018.

The Target’s transactions, assets and liabilities are mainly denominated in Hong Kong dollars which is the Target’s functional currency. The Target is therefore not exposed to currency risk.

(b) Price risk

The Target has no significant assets and liabilities exposed to price risk. Accordingly, sensitivity analysis on price risk is not presented.

(c) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Target Group has no significant interest-bearing assets and liabilities except for bank loan as at 28 February 2018. It is estimated that a general increase/decrease of 50 basis points in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, would increase/decrease the Target Group’s profit for the period ended 28 February 2018 and total equity as at 28 February 2018 by approximately HK$74,109.

6.3 Credit risk

The Target’s credit risk is primarily attributable to the investment deposit and cash at bank. The Target believes credit risk associated with investment deposit and cash at bank to be minimal, as the deposit is held at Link Properties Limited with a credit rating of A2 as rated by Moody’s at 31 December 2017 and 28 February 2018. The cash at bank is held with a reputable financial institution.

  1. The amounts are extracted from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Group as at 31 December 2017 as set out in the Company’s published annual report for the year ended 31 December 2017.

  2. The amounts are extracted from the historical financial information of the Target Group as at 28 February 2018 as set forth in Appendix II of this circular and rounded to the nearest thousand.

  3. For the purpose of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, assuming that the completion of the Acquisition had taken place on 31 December 2017, the JV Investment would also have been completed. The adjustment represents the Group’s initial investment and its share of loss in the JV Group of HK$3,123,382,000 and HK$816,000, respectively. The Group’s investment in the JVCo is treated as an associate of the Group and accounted for under the equity method.

APPENDIX IV

For the purpose of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, it is assumed that the remaining contribution for the acquisition of 29.9% interest in the JVCo in the amount of HK$1,962,379,000 and remaining advance to the JVCo in the amount of HK$450,387,000 shall be funded by the drawdown of the loan of HK$2,412,766,000 under the Great Wall International Shareholder’s Loan.

  1. Upon completion of the Acquisition, the Company will indirectly own 100% equity interest in the Target Group. The identifiable assets and liabilities of the Target Group will be accounted for in the consolidated financial statements of the Company at their fair value under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard (“HKFRS”) No. 3 “Business Combination”.

Goodwill arising from the Acquisition of 100% equity interest in the Target Group is calculated as follows:

  • (a) Pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, the Purchase Price payable for the Sale Shares and the Sale Loan is approximately HK$725,051,000. The Purchase Price shall be set off against the Advance by the Group to the JVCo in the equivalent amount pursuant to the Call Option Deed, upon which the Advance shall be deemed satisfied and repaid in full.

  • (b) The difference between the Purchase Price and the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the Target Group to be acquired of approximately HK$79,000 is recorded as goodwill in the pro forma adjustment. For the purpose of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the Directors have assessed whether there is any impairment in respect of the goodwill expected to arise from the Acquisition following the principles set out in Hong Kong Accounting Standard 36 “Impairment of Assets”. Based on the Directors’ assessment, the Directors consider that there is no impairment on the goodwill. The Company will adopt consistent accounting policies and principal assumptions and valuation method (as used in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information) to assess the impairment of the Enlarged Group’s goodwill in the future, and communicate such basis with its auditor.

Since the fair values of the assets and liabilities of the Target Group at the actual completion date may be different from the fair values used in the preparation of this Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group, the final amounts of the identifiable net assets and goodwill to be recognised in connection with the Acquisition may be different from the amounts presented here and the differences may be significant.

  1. The adjustment represents the estimated legal and professional fees and other expenses of approximately HK$840,000 in connection with the Acquisition. The amounts are assumed to be paid after the completion of the Acquisition.

  2. No adjustments have been made to reflect any results or other transactions of the Group entered into subsequent to 31 December 2017 and the Target Group and JV Group entered into subsequent to 28 February 2018.

Dear Sirs,

Re: Kwai Fong Plaza, 177 Hing Fong Road, Kwai Chung, New Territories, Hong Kong (The “Property”)

In accordance with your instructions for us to value the entire interest in the Property to be acquired by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Great Wall Pan Asia Holdings Limited (“the Company”) for investment purposes, we confirm that we have carried out inspection, made relevant enquiries and searches and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the Market Value of the Property on a 100% interest basis as at 26 February 2018 (“Valuation Date”) for the purposes of inclusion in a public circular to be issued by the Company on 25 May 2018.

BASIS OF VALUATION

Our valuation is our opinion of the Market Value of the Property on a 100% interest basis 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”.

VALUATION REPORT ON KWAI FONG PLAZA

Moreover, 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.

Our valuation has been undertaken in accordance with the HKIS Valuation Standards 2017 published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors (“HKIS”), which incorporates the International Valuation Standards (“IVS”), and (where applicable) the relevant HKIS or jurisdictional supplement. We have also complied with Chapter 5 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“Listing Rules”).

VALUATION METHODOLOGY

The Property has been valued by the Income Capitalization Approach. We have valued the Property by capitalizing the rental incomes derived from the existing tenancies with due provision for the reversionary income potential of the Property. We have also made reference to the recent lettings of the Property and other similar properties to determine the market rentals of the Property. We have taken into account and made adjustments for the differences in key factors such as floor levels, sizes, frontages and time of letting. Capitalization rates are estimated with reference to the yields achieved in the sales of similar properties in the market which are generally within the range of 3% to 4%, and with due consideration of the nature and
