BASIS OF DETERMINING THE CONSIDERATION

The consideration of the Transaction was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the parties with reference to the valuation of the Property performed by Associated Surveyors on 29 July 2013.

Property Valuation

The Company is advised by Associated Surveyors that due to the Two-Year Sale Restriction, it is expected that the Property will be held by the Group as investment for rental in the first two years and may be leased out or disposed of during the remaining tenure of the Property. Therefore, Associated Surveyors

  • 6 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

considered that the income approach is the most appropriate valuation method to adopt in assessing the market value of the Property, an income generating property. It was also noted by Associated Surveyors that the Property is still under construction and the superstructure has been substantially completed. As the Property is expected to be completed in the foreseeable future and there are market rental comparables readily available for the Property as if it is completed, Associated Surveyors considers the income approach suitable in their valuation. Appropriate valuation has also been made and discounted in arriving their opinion of the current value of the property interest being valued. Moreover, as disclosed on page 8 of this circular, the valuation was made with reference to comparables with similar user within the Guangdong High Tech Service Zone for Financial Institutions, which is zoned for attracting and accommodating financial, information technology and other high end back office services, etc. Please refer to the valuation report set out in Appendix II to this circular for further details on the basis of valuation of the Property.

As disclosed in the valuation report set out in Appendix II to this circular, according to the land grant condition, all office units of the Property shall be used for electronic, information technology & telecommunication, precise engineering, bio-technology, green technology types of high end aspect (the “User Restriction”). As the target users of the Park are, amongst others, back offices of financial institutions services industry and high-tech industry of Guangzhou-Foshan, Hong Kong and other regions’ enterprises, all the ancillary facilities are tailor-made for these target users, and it is expected that these target users are more willing to pay a higher rental and selling price. The Board considers that the User Restriction will not have any significant impact on the rental and selling price. Further, the Board has taken a more conservative approach when assessing the rental and selling price of the Property against similar commercial properties in Nanhai District.

When considering the acquisition of the Property and the consideration, the Board has already taken into account the Two-Year Sale Restriction and the User Restriction, and has taken into account the market price and the appraised value provided by Associated Surveyors. The consideration is in fact at a discount to the appraised value.

The Property will be held by the Group as investment for rental or resale purposes. As disclosed on page 18 of this circular, in assessing the market value of the Property, Associated Surveyors has adopted the income approach by taking into account the rental receivable and the reversionary potential of the property interests by discounting the market rent with appropriate yield or by discounting the market value on vacant possession as assessed by sale comparison. They have also assumed that the Property can be expected to earn the market rent. The major parameters used under the income approach are the market rent and the market driven discount rate. The Company is further advised by Associated Surveyors that as the Property is still under construction, they have further assumed that:

  1. all consents, approvals and licences from relevant government authorities for the development proposal have been obtained;

  2. the Property will be developed and completed in accordance with the development and planning approvals and within the timeframe;

  3. the Property, upon completion, will be delivered to the Company in vacant possession and will be fit for occupation; and

  4. 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. the remaining cost to complete the Property will be borne by the developer.

This approach makes reference to comparable transactions as available in the relevant market within the same locality, more particularly, known as Guangdong High Tech Service Zone for Financial Institutions. As advised by Associated Surveyors, this High Tech Service Zone is zoned for attracting and accommodating financial, information technology and other high end back office services, etc. and within this locality, Associated Surveyors has identified and selected comparables with similar users and consider that the comparables selected are the most appropriate ones for their further analysis. In their valuation, appropriate adjustments and analysis are considered in terms of differences in location, size, accessibility, quality, characteristics between the comparable properties and the subject property.

As advised by Associated Surveyors, (a) the valuation is based on the assumption that the Property is sold in the open market without being affected by any deferred term contracts, leasebacks, joint ventures, management agreements or any similar arrangements which would affect the value of the Property, (b) in valuing the Property, it has been assumed that no person or entity has a priority right to purchase the Property, and that (c) compulsory sale has not been assumed in any manner.

As disclosed on page 9 of this circular, taking into account the advice of an independent market researcher, it is estimated that the selling price and rental of office units in Foshan City will increase by 5% annually. Therefore, notwithstanding having taken into account the limited land supply and the increases in property prices and construction costs, in view of the relatively steady upward trend of the property market in Foshan City, the Directors expect that there will be no material difference between the capital value of the Property in existing state as at 29 July 2013 (i.e. the date of the valuation) and the estimated capital value of the Property at Completion.

The Directors consider that the Transaction is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE TRANSACTION

The Group approached Nanhai Chengye in May 2013 upon gaining knowledge of the development of the Park in the earlier time. The Transaction was first contemplated by the Group in July 2013, during which negotiations between the Group and Nanhai Chengye commenced.

Further information about the Park

The Park has a total site area of approximately 74,000 square metres, and a total gross floor area of approximately 400,000 square metres, which includes 6 blocks of office towers and 3 blocks of residential towers. The development of the Park is expected to be completed in 2015.

The main structure of Block 1 has been completed, and it is undergoing internal decoration of the common parts and facilities. It is expected that all the decorations will be completed before July 2014 and the Property is expected to be delivered by 31 July 2014.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

For the Property, the avenues on the east and south have been opened for traffic. On the west, it is Jinke Road, which was constructed by the municipal government of Nanhai District and it is expected to be open for traffic in mid-2014.

The Park is adjacent to Guangzhou and Hong Kong, where the transportation network and commercial infrastructure in the area are well developed. Given the mature development in adjacent areas, it is expected that reliance by the Property on the overall development of the Park would be minimal.

The Company has been informed by Nanhai Chengye that as construction of the Property is not completed, Nanhai Chengye has not commenced applications for the construction works completion registration (經竣工驗收合格並辦理竣工驗收備案) and building ownership certificates. As advised by the Company’s PRC legal adviser, there is no legal impediment on such applications. The estimated cost for such registrations applications is expected to amount to a total of approximately RMB12,842,000 and will be borne by the Group. The costs for decoration of the common parts of the Property will be borne by Nanhai Chenye, but information on such costs is not available to the Company.

All tenancy matters of the Property will be managed in-house by the Group, whereas the Park will be managed by the management office of the Park appointed by Nanhai Chengye.

Overview of the commercial property market in Foshan City, the PRC

Since 2007, the tertiary industry of Foshan City has had an annual growth rate of around 10% upon the continuous development of the tertiary industry in Foshan City as a result of the urban upgrading scheme (城市升級計劃) and the regulation of the asset structure (產業格局). Economists forecast that the tertiary industry will contribute to 40% of Foshan City’s local GDP in 2015 (in 2012, the tertiary industry contributed to 34.6% of Foshan City’s local GDP). It is expected that the development of tertiary industry will promote the demand of office units and thus stimulate the development of commercial property market in Foshan City.

The target users of the Park are back offices of financial institutions, high-tech and modern services industry of Guangzhou-Foshan and Hong Kong enterprises. The Park is adjacent to Guangzhou and Hong Kong with well developed transportation hub providing convenient transportation network. Further, as the selling price and rental of office units in Foshan are much lower than those in Guangzhou and Hong Kong, the aim of the development is to attract the Guangzhou-Foshan and Hong Kong target users to relocate their offices to the Park.

With Completion being expected to take place before 31 July 2014, the Group is now considering implementing pre-leasing activities. No concrete plan has been made.

The Company has been advised by an independent market researcher that the current monthly rental of office units in Nanhai District, Foshan City is around RMB60-90 per square metre, and the selling price of office units is around RMB12,500-12,800 per square metre. It is estimated that the selling price and rental of office units in Nanhai District, Foshan City will increase by 5% annually. According to statistical data, the supply of office units in Foshan City will be around 3.2 million square metres in the coming 3 years.

On the assumption that all office units of the Property will be rented out at the current property market rental, the total annual rental income is expected to be up to approximately RMB19 million.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board considers that the Property may offer good rental return. It is expected that appreciation in the value of the Property will also bring profit on sale of the Property. It is also expected that the Two-Year Sale Restriction will have no impact on the rental income to the Group. As the Park will only be completed in 2015, it is expected that the market price of the properties in the Park may achieve a significant increase upon completion of the relevant ancillary facilities. Therefore, it would be more beneficial to the Group to sell the Property only after two years. For the above reasons, the Board is of the opinion that the restriction will only have minor impact on the sales revenue.

The Directors believe that the Transaction is in line with the Group’s strategy in investment in income generating property and will enable the Group to benefit from rental and sale income and long-term capital gains in the event the Property may appreciate in value in the future.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Transaction is on normal commercial terms and the terms of the Transaction are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As certain relevant percentage ratios calculated under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the consideration for the Transaction exceed 25% but are less than 100%, the Transaction constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the approval of the Shareholders pursuant to the Listing Rules.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE GROUP

The Group is principally engaged in the hotel operation and property investment businesses.

INFORMATION ABOUT NANHAI CHENGYE

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, Nanhai Chengye is established by two state-owned investment entities in the PRC and is principally engaged in urban construction, investment and management; investment, development, construction, operation and management in real estate; and carparking services. Nanhai Chengye is ultimately and beneficially virtually wholly owned by 佛山市南海金融 高新區投資控股有限公司 (Foshan City Nanhai Finance Gaoxin District Investment Holding Co., Ltd.) (“Nanhai Finance”), in that Nanhai Chengye is owned as to 99.84% by Nanhai Finance and as to 0.16% by 佛山市南海供水集團有限公司 (Foshan City Nanhai Water Supply Group Co., Ltd.) (“Nanhai Water Supply”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of 廣東南海控股投資有限公司 (Guangdong Nanhai Holding Investment Co., Ltd.*) (“Nanhai Holding”), which is a substantial shareholder of the Company. Save as disclosed above, as at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Company or any of its connected persons had any prior business or other relationship with such beneficial owner.

Following the acquisition of the Property, the total assets and the net asset value of the Group are expected to remain unchanged as the increase in investment property will be offset by the decrease in cash balances and the increase in bank borrowings (in the case where bank mortgage financing is available) of the Group. Subject to the audit by the auditor of the Group, the consideration paid and the related expenses for the acquisition of the Property will be recognised by the Group in the consolidated statement of financial position as non-current assets. The Property will derive rental income and therefore the acquisition of the Property will have positive effects on the earnings of the Group.

6. FUTURE BUSINESS PLAN

Hotel Business

Several factors such as the uncertainty in the global economy, the continuous appreciation of RMB and the tightened control on government spending in entertainment in the PRC, have led to a decrease in the overall tourist arrivals in Guilin and thus leading to intense competition in the industry. The occupancy rate of Guilin Plaza declined by 16.7% to 45% in the six-month period ended 30 June 2013, and the total turnover during that period amounted to HK$10,869,000, representing a decrease of 26.6% as compared to the same period last year. As for costs control, Guilin Plaza continued to implement strict control over costs and expenses, achieving effective and remarkable results. During the period, despite the cost pressure on the hotel operation due to continuously rising prices, the cost rate recorded only a slight increase of 0.38% as compared to the same period last year. Up to 30 June 2013, the operating results of Guilin Plaza recorded a loss of HK$2,345,000. Up to the Latest Practicable Date, the adverse business environment is still affecting the result of the Group’s hotel business.

With the aim of increasing the competitiveness of Guilin Plaza in the adverse business environment, the Group is now planning to expand the annex building of Guilin Plaza, through which the ancillary facilities of the hotel would be improved, thereby enabling the Group to benefit from economies of scale. The Directors believe that the expansion of the annex of Guilin Plaza, which is currently expected to take at least 2-3 years to complete, will enable the Group to benefit from the gradual recovery of the economy and the tourism industry in the PRC in the next few years.

Property Investment

Currently, all tenancy matters of the Group’s investment properties are managed in-house by the Group, whereas such investment properties are managed by external property management service providers appointed by the developer of such properties. It is expected that such mode of operation will continue to be adopted by the Group.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

For the period ended 30 June 2013, the Group’s rental income amounted to HK$1,164,000, which represented an increase of 7% over the same period last year. There was no significant change in the property occupancy during that period compared to the same period last year.

Property investment and management are the core businesses of the Group. The Group will continue to invest in the property sector.

Apart from the acquisition of the Property, the Group is not currently in need of any further capital and financing. Except for the expansion project of Guilin Plaza, the Group has no present intention nor any concrete plans to develop any other property project. The Group has engaged in property development business since the 1990s. For example, Guilin Plaza was developed by the Group and certain personnel involved in the development of the hotel have been retained by the Group as its current hotel management staff. Further, Mr. Huang Zhihe, an executive Director, has extensive experience in real estate investment and development and hotel management.

As disclosed in the Group’s 2013 interim report dated 14 August 2013, in addition to investing in and developing the existing businesses, the Group is open to any investment opportunity which offers high return and good prospects, such as environmental infrastructure projects (relating to water,

electricity or gas, etc), financial services industry etc. In selecting projects, the Group will concentrate on projects with development prospect, high appreciation potential and steady cash-flow. As at the date hereof, no concrete project has been selected by the Group.

The Group believes that the technology and know-how employed in its former fibreboard manufacturing and trading business, including the development and use of environmental-friendly equipment, facilities and infrastructure (such as combined heat and power plant, sewage facilities and water purification systems), would assist the Group in its intended investment in environmental infrastructure projects (relating to water, electricity or gas, etc).

As disclosed in the Company’s 2012 annual report, Mr. You Guang Wu, Chairman and executive director of the Company, has extensive experience in investment, financing and financial management. The Group believes that Mr. You’s knowledge and experience would assist the Group in its intended investment in the financial services industry.

In view of the positive future prospect of the aforesaid industries as expected by the Group, together with the help of the knowledge, expertise and experience accumulated by the Group as aforesaid, the Group is currently considering conducting industry and policy research (行業及政策調 研) in the aforesaid industries. However, no concrete plans have been made and no due diligence work has been carried out.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has no intention, negotiation, agreement, arrangement or understanding in relation to any disposal, scaling-down and/or termination of its existing businesses.

VALUATION REPORT ON THE PROPERTY

APPENDIX II

The following is the text of a letter and valuation certificate, prepared for the purpose of incorporation in this circular received from Associated Surveyors & Auctioneers Limited, an independent property valuer, in connection with its valuation of the property interests to be acquired by the Group as at 29 July 2013.

==> picture [455 x 84] intentionally omitted <==

Unit 3, 26/F., Honour Industrial Centre, 6 Sun Yip Street, Chai Wan, H.K.

18 October 2013

The Board of Directors

China Investments Holdings Limited Unit 601, Tsim Sha Tsui Centre 66 Mody Road, Tsim Sha Tsui Kowloon, Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

In accordance with the instruction of China Investments Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter together referred to as the “Group”) for us to value the property interests of a property in Guangdong High Tech Service Zone for Financial Institutions, Guicheng Street, Nanhai District, Foshan City, Guangdong, People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) to be acquired by the Company, we confirm that we have carried out inspections, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary to support our opinion on the market value of the property interests as at 29 July 2013 (the “Date of Valuation”) for the purpose of incorporation in the circular of the Company dated 18 October 2013 in relation to a major transaction of the Company.

Our valuation of the property interests is made on the basis of the “Market Value” in accordance with the “HKIS Valuation Standards (2012 Edition)” published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors (“HKIS”). In the HKIS Valuation Standards, the Market Value is defined as:

“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.”

We have been informed by the Management of the Company that, the Property will be held by the Group as investment for rental or resale purposes. Save that without the prior written consent of the relevant PRC governmental authority, the Group may not sell, assign or otherwise dispose of the Property within 2

APPENDIX II

VALUATION REPORT ON THE PROPERTY

years from the date of acquisition. Due to the resale restriction, we have assumed that the Property will be held by the Group as investment for rental in the first two years and may be leased out or disposed of for the remaining tenure of the Property. Therefore, we considered that Income Approach is the most appropriate valuation method to adopt in assessing the Market Value of an income generating property. We also note that the Property is still under construction and the superstructure has been substantially completed. As the Property is expected to be completed in the foreseeable future and there are market rental comparables readily available for the Property as if it is completed, therefore we consider the Income Approach is suitable in our valuation. Appropriate valuation is made and discounted in arriving our opinion of the current value of the property interest being valued. In assessing the Market Value of the property interests, we have adopted the Income Approach by taking into account the rental receivable and the reversionary potential of the property interests by discounting the market rent with appropriate yield or by discounting the market value on vacant possession as assessed by sale comparison. We have assumed that the property can be expected to earn the market rent. The major parameters used under the Income Approach are the market rent and the market driven discount rate. As the Property is still under construction, we have further assumed that:

  1. all consents, approvals and licences from relevant government authorities for the development proposal have been obtained;

  2. the Property will be developed and completed in accordance with the development and planning approvals and within the time frame as informed by the Management of the Company;

  3. the Property, upon completion, will be delivered to the Company in vacant possession and will be fit for occupation; and

  4. the remaining cost to complete the Property will be borne by the developer.

This approach makes reference to comparable transactions as available in the relevant market within the same locality, more particularly, known as Guangdong High Tech Service Zone for Financial Institutions. This High Tech Service Zone is zoned for attracting and accommodating financial, information technology and other high end back office services, etc. Within this locality, we have identified and selected comparables with similar users and we consider that the comparables selected are the most appropriate ones for our further analysis. In our valuation, appropriate adjustments and analysis are considered in terms of differences in location, size, accessibility, quality, characteristics between the comparable properties and the subject property.

Our valuation is based on the assumption that the property is sold in the open market without being affected by any deferred term contracts, leasebacks, joint ventures, management agreements or any similar arrangements which would affect the value of the property. In addition, in valuing the Property, we have assumed that no person or entity has a priority right to purchase the Property. Nor have we assumed compulsory sale in any manner.

The market value is the best price reasonably obtainable in the market by the seller and the most advantageous price reasonably obtainable in the market by the buyer. We have not taken into consideration special financing, leaseback arrangements, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated

with the sale, or a valuation inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as any element of special value. No allowance has been made to the market value of the property for sale and purchase costs, and no deduction for any associated taxes or relevant tax expenses has been made.

In valuing the property, we have assumed that the owner of the property owns a valid and enforceable title of the property (freely assignable) and is entitled to free and uninterrupted use of the property for the whole of the un-expired term as granted. We assumed that all premiums payable have already paid.

We have relied to a considerable extent on the information given by the Company. We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Company. We have also been advised by the Company that no material factors have been omitted from the information supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to arrive an informed view, and we have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld.

We have been provided with copies of the title documents relating to the property, however due to the nature of the land registration system in the PRC, we cannot cause searches to verify ownership and encumbrances or to ascertain the subsequent amendments, if any, which may not appear on the copies handed to us. As we are not a legal professional, we are not in a position to ascertain the legal title of the property.

In valuing the property, we have relied on the legal opinions provided by the PRC legal adviser of the Group, Guangdong Jingzi Law Firm (廣東荊紫律師事務所), in respect of the title of the property and other matters in relation to the property.

Dimensions, measurements and areas set out in the valuation certificate are based on information contained in the documents provided to us and are approximations. We have no reason to doubt the truthfulness and accuracy of the information provided to us which is significant to the valuation.

We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the interior of the property. However, we have not conducted soil investigation or building survey to ascertain whether the condition of land and facilities are fit for future occupation. Our valuation is based on the assumption that requirements in site formation, building regulation and other construction aspects have been fulfilled, and that no delay or obstruction will be incurred during the construction period. As the property is in the process of construction, we are not able to report whether the property is free of rot, infestation or any other structural defect. We have not carried out tests on any building services either. We have not carried out detailed on-site measurements to verify the site area and floor areas of the property, but have assumed that the various areas shown on the documents handed to us are correct. The management of the Company of interested party in the property should conduct their due diligence works on land survey and building survey aspects.

The property interests have been valued in Renminbi (“RMB”).

In valuing the property interests, we have complied with all the requirements contained in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (2012 Edition) published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors. The valuation has been prepared by us as an external valuer who is competent in performing the valuation.

The Board of Directors

China Investments Holdings Limited Unit 601, Tsim Sha Tsui Centre, 66 Mody Road, Tsimshatsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of unaudited pro forma financial information set out in Appendix III to the circular of China Investments Holdings Limited (the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries are referred to as the “Listed Group”) dated 18 October 2013 which has been prepared by the directors of the Company solely for illustrative purposes to provide information about how the proposed acquisition of 98 office units situated at Block 1 of GuangdongHongkong Finance & Technology Park (粵港金融科技園), 6 Jinke Road, Guicheng Street, Nanhai District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, the PRC, might have affected the unaudited consolidated statement of financial position of the Listed Group as at 30 June 2013.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX III

It is our responsibility to form an opinion, as required by Paragraph 29(7) of Chapter 4 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.

BASIS OF OPINION

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements (“HKSAE”) 3420 Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus issued by the HKICPA.

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 transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the event or transaction at 30 June 2013 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 unaudited 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.
