LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors have also considered the investments in Hami and Anhua (details of which are included under the heading “Other investments and material acquisitions after 30 June 2015 of the Target Group” below) in assessing the Consideration. The Directors consider, for the purpose of assessing the Consideration, no adjustment in relation to these investments to the net asset value of the Target Group above is required as:

  • 1) these investments would be accounted for as “Available-for-sale investments” and initially stated at their fair values, which are the consideration paid for the investments. Thus, these investments would not have any impact on the net asset value of the Target Group at the transaction dates.

  • 2) the above transactions are close to the date of Acquisition and there are no significant change in the fair values of these investments from the transaction dates to the date of Acquisition which would affect the Consideration.

The Consideration represents a premium of RMB68,992,000 and approximately 24.7% of the net asset value of the Target Group (as adjusted above). The Directors, having considered that (i) the Target Company is engaged in multiple business segments as disclosed under the section “Principal businesses of the Target Company” in the Letter from the Board of this circular; (ii) the acquisitions of target companies engaged in the manufacture and sale of wind-solar hybrid street lights (or other street lights) are not very common; and (iii) the Acquisition does not involve the entire, but only partial, equity interest of the Target Company, the Directors noted that precedents of acquisitions by listed companies engaged in the solar power plant business of target companies of similar business nature to the Target Company were not readily available. Recent acquisitions by other listed companies engaged in the solar power plant business did not offer useful or meaningful precedential values as the background, relative size of the targets and nature of the precedents were different from the proposed Acquisition.

From 1 July 2015 to 30 November 2015, the Target Group (as shown in the unaudited management accounts of the Target Group) recorded a revenue of RMB523,305,000 and the total revenue for the eleven months ended 30 November 2015 of the Target Group (as shown in the unaudited management accounts of the Target Group) amounted to RMB643,958,000. The significant increase in the revenue from 1 July 2015 to 30 November 2015, as compared to the six months ended 30 June 2015, was mainly due to the increase in the revenue from engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of PV power plants amounted to RMB455,701,000. According to the unaudited management accounts of the Target Group, the Target Group recorded a profit after taxation of RMB3,162,000 for the eleven months ended 30 November 2015. Saved as disclosed under the heading “Other investments and material acquisitions after 30 June 2015”, the Target Group did not have other material acquisitions or disposals after 30 June 2015.

In view of the potential synergies generated upon Completion, the technological know-how and experience of the Target Group in the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of photovoltaic power plants, details of which are further explained under the section headed “REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITION” below, the Directors are of the view that the Consideration is fair and reasonable.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • ii. any major issues discovered during the due diligence exercise are resolved to the satisfaction of the Purchaser;

  • viii. no promulgations or implementations of any laws, regulations, injunctions, decisions or policies by the government that will restrict or prohibit the Acquisition or make the Acquisition illegal;

  • ix. no litigation, arbitration or administrative sanctions against or pending against any member of the Target Group that, if decided adversely, would inhibit or otherwise materially affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated under the Acquisition, or in the reasonable opinion of the Purchaser, would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Target Group; and

  • x. nothing having occurred which has or, in the reasonable opinion of the Purchaser, is expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Vendors and Target Company have agreed to effect the update and registration of the register of members of the Target Company within ten Business Days from the date of the Completion.

If the above conditions are not fulfilled on or before the Long Stop Date, then the Acquisition Agreement shall terminate.

The ground mounted PV power plants are built on land parcels which are remotely located. The land parcels where the solar power plants situated are of low economic value and hence the Target Group, follows the similar practices of other solar power plants operators, would only rent the land from the local government.

Note: Local government granted rent-free period to these projects during the construction stage. Upon completion of the construction of the solar power plants, the project companies have to pay lease fees to the local government, amounts of which have to be negotiated with the local government by then.

Typical economic useful lives of solar power plants are 20 years or more.

It is a usual practice in the development of solar power plants that the EPC contractor and/or suppliers of components will grant credit period to the project companies and hence the settlement of the above-mentioned development costs would be by stages. The Target Group intended to settle the above-mentioned development costs by internal resources and available facilities.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Huatian is a company established in the PRC principally engaged in the business of operation of hotels and other tourism businesses in the PRC. The headquarters of Huatian is located at Changsha, the same location where the Target Company is headquartered.

To raise capital for its business, Huatian invited the Target Company to invest in it in 2014. The Target Company signed an agreement for the subscription of new shares in Huatian in December 2014. The reason at that time was that there would be business co-operation opportunities with Huatian and in particular, the business opportunity to install distributed PV systems at the hotels operated by Huatian.

Having considered that the volatile market conditions in 2015, the Target Company decided to minimize the economic risk associated with the investment. Accordingly the Target Company entered into the Transactions as set out above. With the Transactions in place, the Directors consider that the Target Group would not have any economic interests of its equity position in Huatian upon completion of the Acquisition.

REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITION

As disclosed under the section “INFORMATION ON THE TARGET COMPANY”, the Company had previously acquired three project companies from the Target Group in 2014 which held three completed PV power plants. From the previous experiences of the acquisitions from the Target Group, the Directors had considered further acquisitions of PV power plants, including completed projects and projects under construction.

The Company is principally engaged in properties investment, manufacturing and sale of life-like plants and investment in photovoltaic power plants in the PRC. The Company has, since late April 2014, entered into a number of memoranda of understanding and agreements for the development of photovoltaic power plants across the PRC. The Acquisition signifies the furtherance of the Group’s initiative into the photovoltaic power sector in the PRC and presents a good opportunity for the Group’s long-term development.

In considering the potential integration of the Target Group’s business with the Group’s existing business upon Completion, the Board considered that the Target Group’s principal businesses include:

(a) the manufacture and sale of wind-solar hybrid street lights:

The Target Company has many years of experience in the manufacture and sale of wind-solar hybrid street lights business. The manufacture and sale of wind-solar hybrid street lights involves the using of the production technology in both wind and solar power generation. In particular, it involves the purchasing of solar panels from reliable suppliers, which is an important material to be used in solar power plants.

The Group, in the process of developing its own solar power plants, needs to source high quality solar panels from reliable suppliers. Upon completion of the Acquisition, the Enlarged Group will benefit from the synergies of shared resources relating to the sourcing of reliable solar panel suppliers;

– 24 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(b) engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of PV power plants:

The Target Company has many years of experience in the EPC of PV power plants. The Target Group has a team of experienced staff which involves in the whole process of the designing, sourcing of materials, building and engineering of a PV power plant and successfully delivered a lot of solar power plants to its customers in the past years.

The Group currently engages independent EPC contractors to build solar plants for the Group. Upon completion of the Acquisition, the Group can benefit from the shared experiences in the EPC business from the Target Group, in particular, on the screening of the hiring of independent EPC contractors and the monitoring of the EPC work during the construction stages;

(c) the sale of solar energy-related products:

Both the Target Group and the Group are engaged in the trading of solar energy-related products. Upon completion of the Acquisition, the Enlarged Group could share the experience and information between each other, in particular, the market information related, but not limited, to the trend in the market prices, demand and supply of products, and market research on the products. Accordingly, the Enlarged Group could benefit from obtaining additional market information in making its business decisions; and

(d) the sale of electricity:

Both the Target Group and the Group are involved in sale of electricity. Upon completion of the Acquisition, the Enlarged Group could share the experience and information between each other, in particular, the market information related, but not limited, to the market information related to the electricity reform in the PRC, the demand and supply of electricity in different areas in the PRC, and market research on utilization hours in different areas in the PRC. Accordingly, the Enlarged Group could benefit from obtaining additional market information in making the decisions on investing in solar power plants.

Given that the experience of the Target Company in the development of photovoltaic power stations could complement and enhance the Group’s initiative in developing photovoltaic power stations in the PRC and the wind-solar hybrid street lights could be an income stream for the Group, and that the Acquisition is being carried out after arm’s length negotiations on normal commercial terms, the Directors are of the view that the terms of the Acquisition are fair and reasonable and that the Acquisition is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

PROSPECT

Environmental protection remains one of the areas of concern in the National People’s Congress and Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and related policies have been adopted. Premier Li Keqiang has indicated in the Government Work Report 2015 that great efforts should be devoted to the development of the clean energy sector, including photovoltaic power generation. From January to June 2015, China added 7.73 gigawatts of photovoltaic installed capacity, which was 134% more than the added capacity for the corresponding period of 2014. This shows that the photovoltaic power generation sector is experiencing rapid growth in the PRC.

During the first half of 2015, the Group continued to invest in photovoltaic power plants and recorded significant increase in revenue during the period under review. Leveraging on the strong financial position due to the successful fund raising transactions during the six months ended 30 June 2015, the Group has a competitive edge in executing its strategic plans to acquire and develop photovoltaic power plants in the PRC. In particular, the Group is presently in various stages of discussion with various stakeholders of photovoltaic power plants over potential acquisitions in the PRC. The Board is confident that, with the Group’s solid and experienced management, the Group will be able to continue to grasp investment opportunities with excellent returns.

In the upcoming future, the Company will continue to review its investment portfolio from time to time and, in particular, strive to increase its investment in photovoltaic power plants with the aim of becoming a leading photovoltaic plant operator in China and eventually a leading photovoltaic plant operator in Asia Pacific with economies of scale that will be well received by the public markets.

For the year ended 31 December 2014

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

The Strategic Action Plan for Energy Development (2014-2020) issued by the State Council in November 2014 stated that clean and low-carbon energy shall increase as a percentage of energy consumption. It envisioned that the share of renewable energies such as solar and wind energy in electricity consumption shall increase significantly going forward. The government document also stated a goal of having the country’s installed PV capacity increase to 100 gigawatts (GW) by 2020. Environmental protection related policies remain one of the most concerned issues in the National People’s Congress (“NPC”) and Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (“CPPCC”). Premier Li Keqiang said in the Government Work Report 2015 that great efforts should be devoted to develop clean energy sectors, including photovoltaic power generation sector.

As the leader of the global solar PV market, PRC has the most advanced solar technology. Answering the call to combat pollution, the Group has been investing in photovoltaic power plants. The Board is confident about the prospect of such investments and their potential for creating a significant growth in business in the coming decades. The PRC central government had reiterated its support to the clean energy sector under the “Twelfth Five-year Plan”. This will further benefit the Group’s development.

Looking forward, the Group will continue to review its investment portfolio from time to time and in particular, grasp the opportunities in investing in photovoltaic power stations to pursue a strong and rapid growth, with an aim to maximizing the investment returns for its shareholders.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

For the year ended 31 December 2013, the turnover of the Group amounted to approximately HK$9,229,000. Loss attributable to shareholders has decreased to approximately HK$7,786,000 from approximately HK$10,901,000 recorded in last year.

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the Corresponding Financial Information in accordance with the same basis adopted in respect of the Financial Information.

Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the Corresponding Financial Information.

Based on our review, for the purpose of this report, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Corresponding Financial Information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the same basis adopted in respect of the Financial Information.

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

  • These entities are all PRC limited liability companies. The English translation of the company’s name is for reference only. The official names of the companies are in Chinese.

  • ** Yumen Yonglian was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Target Group during the period from 10 September 2013 to 18 December 2013. On 18 December 2013 and 25 October 2014, the Target Group disposed 81% and 19% equity interest in Yumen Yonglian, respectively.

  • *** Zhongke Hengyuan Jiuquan was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Target Group during the period from 27 February 2012 (date of incorporation) to 21 December 2012. On 21 December 2012, the Target Group disposed 85% equity interest in Zhongke Hengyuan Jiuquan.

  • **** Xinjiang Huaxun Yunshang Information and Technology Company Limited (新疆華訊雲尚 信息技術有限公司, “Xinjiang Huaxun Yunshang”) was incorporated in the PRC on 29 May 2014. On 5 May 2015, Zhongke Huaxun had injected RMB4,300,000 capital in cash to Xinjiang Huaxun Yunshang, representing 81.1% of its equity interest. Xinjiang Huaxun Yunshang became a subsidiary of the Target Group since then. As at 30 June 2015, the Target Group had an equity interest of 51% in Zhongke Huaxun and an effective interest of 41.4% in Xinjiang Huaxun Yunshang. On 16 July 2015, Xinjiang Huaxun Yunshang changed its official name to Xinjiang Huaxun.

(c) Basis of measurement

The Financial Information is presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), rounded to the nearest thousand expect for per share data. It is prepared on the historical cost basis.

(d) Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of Financial Information in conformity with HKFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. 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.

Judgements made by management in the application of HKFRSs that have significant effect on the Financial Information and major sources of estimation uncertainty are discussed in note 2.

(e) Subsidiaries and non-controlling interests

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Target Group. The Target Group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. When assessing whether the Target Group has power, only substantive rights (held by the Target Group and other parties) are considered.

– II-15 –

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

An investment in a subsidiary is consolidated into Financial Information from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Intra-group balances, transactions and cash flows and any unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full in preparing the Financial Information. Unrealised losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

Non-controlling interests represent the equity in a subsidiary not attributable directly or indirectly to the Target Company, and in respect of which the Target Group has not agreed any additional terms with the holders of those interests which would result in the Target Group as a whole having a contractual obligation in respect of those interests that meets the definition of a financial liability. For each business combination, the Target Group can elect to measure any non-controlling interests either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net identifiable assets.

Non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separately from equity attributable to the equity shareholders of the Target Company. Non-controlling interests in the results of the Target Group are presented on the face of the consolidated statement of profit or loss and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as an allocation of the total profit or loss and total comprehensive income for the year/period between non-controlling interests and the equity shareholders of the Target Company.

Changes in the Target Group’s interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions, whereby adjustments are made to the amounts of controlling and non-controlling interests within consolidated equity to reflect the change in relative interests, but no adjustments are made to goodwill and no gain or loss is recognised.

When the Target Group loses control of a subsidiary, it is accounted for as a disposal of the entire interest in that subsidiary, with a resulting gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in that former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is recognised at fair value and this amount is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset (see note 1(h)) or, when appropriate, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in joint venture (see note 1(f)).

In the Target Company’s statement of financial position, an investment in a subsidiary is stated at cost less impairment losses (see note 1(l)).

(f) Joint ventures

A joint venture is an arrangement whereby the Target Group or the Target Company and other parties contractually agree to share control of the arrangement, and have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

An investment in a joint venture is accounted for in the Financial Information under the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recorded at cost, adjusted for any excess of the Target Group’s share of the acquisition-date fair values of the investee’s identifiable net assets over the cost of the investment (if any). Thereafter, the investment is adjusted for the post acquisition change in the Target Group’s share of the investee’s net assets and any impairment loss relating to the investment (see notes 1(g) and 1(l)). Any acquisition-date excess over cost, the Target Group’s share of the post-acquisition, post-tax results of the investees and any impairment losses for the year/period are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, whereas the Target Group’s share of the post-acquisition post-tax items of the investees’ other comprehensive income is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

– II-16 –

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

When the Target Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in the joint venture, the Target Group’s interest is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Target Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the investee. For this purpose, the Target Group’s interest is the carrying amount of the investment under the equity method together with the Target Group’s long-term interests that in substance form part of the Target Group’s net investment in the joint venture.

Unrealised profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Target Group and and joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the Target Group’s interest in the investee, except where unrealised losses provide evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred, in which case they are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

If an investment in a joint venture becomes an investment in an associate or vice versa, the investment continues to be accounted for using the equity method.

In all other cases, when the Target Group ceases to have joint control over a joint venture, it is accounted for as a disposal of the entire interest in that investee, with a resulting gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in that former investee at the date when joint control is lost is recognised at fair value and this amount is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset (see note 1(h)).

In the Target Company’s statement of financial position, investments in joint venture are stated at cost less impairment losses (see note 1(l)).

(g) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of

  • (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the Target Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree; over

  • (ii) the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities measured as at the acquisition date.

When (ii) is greater than (i), then this excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a gain on a bargain purchase.

Goodwill is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill arising on a business combination is allocated to each cash-generating unit, or groups of cash generating units, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination and is tested annually for impairment (see note 1(l)).

On disposal of a cash generating unit during the year/period, any attributable amount of purchased goodwill is included in the calculation of the profit or loss on disposal.

(h) Other investments in equity securities

The Target Group’s and the Target Company’s policies for investments in equity securities, other than investments in subsidiaries, are as follows:

Investments in equity securities are initially stated at fair value, which is their transaction price unless it is determined that the fair value at initial recognition differs from the transaction price and that fair value is evidenced by a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability or based on a valuation technique that uses only data from observable markets. Cost includes attributable transaction costs, except where indicated otherwise below. These investments are subsequently accounted for as follows, depending on their classification:

– II-17 –

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

Investments in securities held for trading are classified as current assets. Any attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. At the end of each reporting period the fair value is remeasured, with any resultant gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss does not include any dividends earned on these investments as these are recognised in accordance with the policies set out in note 1(v)(iv).

Investments in equity securities which do not fall into the above category are classified as available-for-sale equity securities. At the end of each reporting period the fair value is remeasured, with any resultant gain or loss being recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated separately in equity in the fair value reserve. As an exception to this, investments in equity securities that do not have a quoted price in an active market for an identical instrument and whose fair value cannot otherwise be reliably measured are recognised in the statement of financial position at cost less impairment losses (see note 1(l)). Dividend income from equity securities calculated using the effective interest method are recognised in the profit or loss in accordance with the policies set out in note 1(v)(iv).

When the investments are derecognised or impaired (see note 1(l)), the cumulative gain or loss recognised in equity is reclassified to profit or loss. Investments are recognised/derecognised on the date the Target Group commits to purchase/sell the investments or they expire.

(i) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see note 1(l)). Construction in progress represents property, plant and equipment under construction and is stated at cost less impairment losses (see note 1(l)).

The cost of self-constructed items of property, plant and equipment includes the cost of materials, direct labour, the initial estimate, where relevant, of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and an appropriate proportion of production overheads and borrowing costs (see note 1(w)).

Construction in progress is transferred to property, plant and equipment when it is ready for its intended use.

No depreciation is provided against construction in progress.

Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item and are recognised in profit or loss on the date of retirement or disposal.

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment, less their estimated residual value, if any, using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Buildings situated on leasehold land are depreciated over the shorter of the unexpired Buildings situated on leasehold land are depreciated over the shorter of the unexpired
term of lease and their estimated useful lives, being no more than 50 years after the date of
completion
Solar power plants 10 – 25 years
Plant and machinery 5 – 10 years
Motor vehicles 5 – 10 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment 5 years

Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost of the item is allocated on a reasonable basis between the parts and each part is depreciated separately. Both the useful life of an asset and its residual value, if any, are reviewed annually.

– II-18 –

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

(j) Intangible assets (other than goodwill)

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Expenditure on development activities is capitalised if the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Target Group has sufficient resources and the intention to complete development. The expenditure capitalised includes the costs of materials, direct labour, and an appropriate proportion of overheads and borrowing costs, where applicable (see note 1(w)). Capitalised development costs are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses (see note 1(l)). Other development expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Target Group are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation (where the estimated useful life is finite) and impairment losses (see note 1(l)).

Amortisation of intangible assets with finite useful lives is charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated useful lives. The following intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised from the date they are available for use and their estimated useful lives are as follows:

– Patent 5 – 10 years – Software 5 – 10 years

Both the period and method of amortisation are reviewed annually.

During the Relevant Periods, the Target Group did not have any intangible assets with indefinite useful lives.

(k) Operating lease charges

Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the Target Group are classified as operating leases.

Where the Target Group has the use of assets held under operating leases, payments made under the leases are charged to profit or loss in equal instalments over the accounting periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased asset. Lease incentives received are recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the aggregate net lease payments made. Contingent rentals are charged to profit or loss in the accounting period in which they are incurred.

The cost of acquiring land held under an operating lease is amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease term.

(l) Impairment of assets

  • (i) Impairment of investments in equity securities and other receivables

Investments in equity securities and other current and non-current receivables that are stated at cost or amortised cost or are classified as available-for-sale equity securities are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. Objective evidence of impairment includes observable data that comes to the attention of the Target Group about one or more of the following loss events:

  • significant financial difficulty of the debtor;

  • a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;

  • it becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;

– II-19 –

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

  • significant changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that have an adverse effect on the debtor; and

  • a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below its cost.

If any such evidence exists, any impairment loss is determined and recognised as follows:

  • For investments in joint ventures accounted for under the equity method in the Financial Information (see note 1(f)), the impairment loss is measured by comparing the recoverable amount of the investment with its carrying amount in accordance with note 1(l)(ii). The impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount in accordance with note 1(l)(ii).

  • For unquoted equity securities carried at cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial asset and the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset where the effect of discounting is material. Impairment losses for equity securities carried at cost are not reversed.

– For trade and other current receivables and other financial assets carried at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition of these assets), where the effect of discounting is material. This assessment is made collectively where these financial assets share similar risk characteristics, such as similar past due status, and have not been individually assessed as impaired. Future cash flows for financial assets which are assessed for impairment collectively are based on historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to the collective group.

If in a subsequent period the amount of an impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be linked objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. A reversal of an impairment loss shall not result in the asset’s carrying amount exceeding that which would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years/periods.

Impairment losses are written off against the corresponding assets directly, except for impairment losses recognised in respect of trade debtors and bills receivable included within trade and other receivables, whose recovery is considered doubtful but not remote. In this case, the impairment losses for doubtful debts are recorded using an allowance account. When the Target Group is satisfied that recovery is remote, the amount considered irrecoverable is written off against trade debtors and bills receivable directly and any amounts held in the allowance account relating to that debt are reversed. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously charged to the allowance account are reversed against the allowance account. Other changes in the allowance account and subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off directly are recognised in profit or loss.

(ii) Impairment of other assets

Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to identify indications that the following assets may be impaired or, except in the case of goodwill, an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased:

  • property, plant and equipment;

  • solar power plants;

– II-20 –

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

  • intangible assets;

  • lease prepayments;

  • interest in a joint venture;

  • goodwill; and

  • investments in subsidiaries in the Target Company’s statement of financial position.

If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. In addition, for goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated annually whether or not there is any indication of impairment.

Calculation of recoverable amount

The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its 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. Where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows independently (i.e. a cash-generating unit).

  • Recognition of impairment losses

An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss if the carrying amount of an asset, or the cash-generating unit to which it belongs, exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit (or group of units) and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (or group of units) on a pro rata basis, except that the carrying value of an asset will not be reduced below its individual fair value less costs of disposal (if measurable) or value in use (if determinable).

  • Reversals of impairment losses

In respect of assets other than goodwill, an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favorable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed.

A reversal of an impairment loss is limited to the asset’s carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years/periods. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the year/period in which the reversals are recognised.

(m) Inventories

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Cost is calculated using the weighted average cost formula and comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

– II-21 –

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any writedown of inventories is recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.

(n) Construction contracts

Construction contracts are contracts specifically negotiated with a customer for the construction of an asset or a group of assets, where the customer is able to specify the major structural elements of the design. The accounting policy for contract revenue is set out in note 1(v)(iii). When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract costs are recognised as an expense by reference to the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately. When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Construction contracts in progress at the end of the reporting period are recorded at the net amount of costs incurred plus recognised profit less recognised losses and progress billings, and are presented in the statement of financial position as the “Gross amount due from customers for contract work” (as an asset) or the “Gross amount due to customers for contract work” (as a liability), as applicable. Progress billings not yet paid by the customer are included under “Trade and other receivables”. Amounts received before the related work is performed are presented as “Receipts in advance” under “Trade and other payables”.

(o) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts (see note 1(l)), except where the receivables are interest-free loans made to related parties without any fixed repayment terms or the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, the receivables are stated at cost less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts.

(p) Interest-bearing borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between the amount initially recognised and redemption value being recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings, together with any interest and fees payable, using the effective interest method.

(q) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value. Trade and other payables are subsequently stated at amortised cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

(r) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within three months of maturity at acquisition.

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

(s) Employee benefits

  • (i) Short term employee benefits and contributions to defined contribution retirement plans

Salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave, contributions to defined contribution retirement plans and the cost of non-monetary benefits are accrued in the year/period in which the associated services are rendered by employees. Where payment or settlement is deferred and the effect would be material, these amounts are stated at their present values.

(ii) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are recognised at the earlier of when the Target Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when it recognises restructuring costs involving the payment of termination benefits.

(t) Income tax

Income tax for the year/period comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the relevant amounts of tax are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year/period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years/periods.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from deductible and taxable temporary differences respectively, being the differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets also arise from unused tax losses and unused tax credits.

Apart from certain limited exceptions, all deferred tax liabilities, and all deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised, are recognised. Future taxable profits that may support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences include those that will arise from the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, provided those differences relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse either in the same period as the expected reversal of the deductible temporary difference or in periods into which a tax loss arising from the deferred tax asset can be carried back or forward. The same criteria are adopted when determining whether existing taxable temporary differences support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and credits, that is, those differences are taken into account if they relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse in a period, or periods, in which the tax loss or credit can be utilised.

The limited exceptions to recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities are those temporary differences arising from goodwill not deductible for tax purposes, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit (provided they are not part of a business combination), and temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that, in the case of taxable differences, the Target Group controls the timing of the reversal and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future, or in the case of deductible differences, unless it is probable that they will reverse in the future.

The amount of deferred tax recognised is measured based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

– II-23 –

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow the related tax benefit to be utilised. Any such reduction is reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.

Current tax balances and deferred tax balances, and movements therein, are presented separately from each other and are not offset. Current tax assets are offset against current tax liabilities, and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities, if the Target Company or the Target Group has the legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the following additional conditions are met:

  • in the case of current tax assets and liabilities, the Target Company or the Target Group intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously; or

  • in the case of deferred tax assets and liabilities, if they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:

  • the same taxable entity; or

  • different taxable entities, which, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered, intend to realise the current tax assets and settle the current tax liabilities on a net basis or realise and settle simultaneously.

(u) Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the Target Group has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation.

Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

(v) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Provided it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Target Group and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably, revenue is recognised in profit or loss as follows:

(i) Sales of electricity

Revenue arising from the sale of electricity is recognised in the accounting period when electricity is generated and supplied to the customers. Revenue excludes value added tax (“VAT”) or other sales taxes.

(ii) Sales of goods

Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been transferred to customers. Revenue excludes VAT or other sales taxes and is after deduction of any trade discounts.

– II-24 –

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

(iii) Contract revenue

When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised using the percentage of completion method, measured by reference to the percentage of contract costs incurred to date to estimated total contract costs for the contract.

When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable.

(iv) Dividends

Dividend income from unlisted investments is recognised when the shareholder’s right to receive payment is established.

  • (v) Interest income

Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method.

  • (vi) Government grants

Government grants are recognised in the statement of financial position initially when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and that the Target Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them. Grants that compensate the Target Group for expenses incurred are recognised as income in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses are incurred. Grants that compensate the Target Group for the cost of an asset are recognised by setting up the grant as deferred income that is recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset.

(w) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

The capitalisation of borrowing costs as part of the cost of a qualifying asset commences when expenditure for the asset is being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended or ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are interrupted or complete.

(x) Related parties

  • (a) A person, or a close member of that person’s family, is related to the Target Group if that person:

  • (i) has control or joint control over the Target Group;

  • (ii) has significant influence over the Target Group; or

  • (iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the Target Group or the Target Group’s parent.

  • (b) An entity is related to the Target Group if any of the following conditions applies:

  • (i) The entity and the Target Group are members of the same Group (which means that each parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others).

  • (ii) One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or joint venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member).

  • (iii) Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party.

  • (iv) One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity.

  • (v) The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the Target Group or an entity related to the Target Group.

  • (vi) The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a).

  • (vii) A person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).

  • (viii) The entity, or any member of the Target Group of which it is a part, provides key management personnel services to the Target Group or to the Target Group’s parent.

Close members of the family of a person are those family members who may be expected to influence, or be influenced by, that person in their dealings with the entity.

(y) Segment reporting

Operating segments, and the amounts of each segment item reported in the Financial Information, are identified from the financial information provided regularly to the Target Group’s most senior executive management for the purposes of allocating resources to, and assessing the performance of, the Target Group’s various lines of business and geographical locations.

Individually material operating segments are not aggregated for financial reporting purposes unless the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in respect of the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, the type or class of customers, the methods used to distribute the products or provide the services, and the nature of the regulatory environment. Operating segments which are not individually material may be aggregated if they share a majority of these criteria.

During the Relevant Periods, the Target Group’s revenue and contribution to profit were mainly derived from sales of street lights and monitoring equipment, construction of solar power plants and sales of electricity, which is regarded as a single reportable segment in a manner consistent with the way in which information is reported internally to the Target Group’s senior management for the purpose of resources allocation and performance assessment. In addition, the principal assets employed by the Target Group are located in the Mainland China. Accordingly, no segment analysis is presented other than entity-wide disclosures.

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

2 SOURCE OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

The Target Group believes that the key sources of estimation uncertainty are as follows:

(a) Business combination and asset acquisition

Accounting for acquisitions require the Target Group to allocate the cost of acquisition to specific assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Judgments made in identifying all acquired assets, determining the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset’s useful lives, could materially impact the calculation of goodwill and depreciation and charges in subsequent periods. Estimated fair values are based on information available near the acquisition date and on expectations and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management. Determining the estimated useful lives of tangible assets acquired also requires judgement.

(b) Impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts

The Target Group estimates impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts resulting from the inability of the customers and other debtors to make the required payments. The Target Group bases the estimates on the aging of the receivable balance, debtors’ creditworthiness and historical write-off experience. If the financial condition of the customers and debtors were to deteriorate, actual write-offs would be higher than estimated.

(c) Impairment losses of non-current assets

In considering the impairment losses that may be required for certain of the Target Group’s assets which include property, plant and equipment, solar power plants and lease prepayments, recoverable amount of the asset needs to be determined. The recoverable amount is the greater of the fair value less costs to sell and the value in use. It is difficult to precisely estimate selling price because quoted market prices for these assets are not be readily available. In determining the value in use, expected cash flow generated by the asset are discounted to their present value, which requires significant judgment relating to items such as level of electricity generated, unit selling price and amount of operating costs. The Target Group uses all readily available information in determining an amount that is reasonable approximation of recoverable amount, including estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections of items such as level of electricity generated, unit selling price and amount of operating costs.

(d) Recognition of deferred tax

Deferred tax assets in respect of unused tax losses and tax credit carried forward and deductible temporary differences are recognised and measured based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. In determining the carrying amounts of deferred assets, expected taxable profits are estimated which involves a number of assumptions relating to the operating environment of the Target Group and require a significant level of judgment exercised by the directors. Any change in such assumptions and judgment would affect the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets to be recognised and hence the net profit in future year/period.

(e) Depreciation

Property, plant and equipment and solar power plants are depreciated amounted on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, after taking into account the estimated residual value. The Target Group reviews the estimated useful lives of the assets regularly. The useful lives are based on the Target Group’s historical experience with similar assets and taking into account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation expense for future periods is adjusted if there are significant changes from previous estimates.

(f) Warranty provisions

The Target Group makes provisions under the warranties it gives on sale of its products taking into account the Target Group’s recent claim experience. As the Target Group is continually upgrading its product designs and launching new models it is possible that the recent claim experience is not indicative of future claims that it will receive in respect of past sales. Any increase or decrease in the provision would affect profit or loss in future years/periods.

(g) Construction contracts

As explained in policy notes 1(n) and 1(v)(iii) revenue and profit recognition on an uncompleted project is dependent on estimating the total outcome of the construction contract, as well as the work done to date. Based on the Target Group’s recent experience and the nature of the construction activity undertaken by the Target Group, the Target Group makes estimates of the point at which it considers the work is sufficiently advanced such that the costs to complete and revenue can be reliably estimated. As a result, until this point is reached the amounts due from customers for contract work as disclosed in note 22 will not include profit which the Target Group may eventually realise from the work done to date. In addition, actual outcomes in terms of total cost or revenue may be higher or lower than estimated at the end of the reporting period, which would affect the revenue and profit recognised in future years/periods as an adjustment to the amounts recorded to date.

3 REVENUE

The principal activities of the Target Group are manufacturing and sales of street lights and monitoring equipment, construction of solar power plants and sales of electricity.

Note: Sales of electricity includes tariff adjustment amounted to RMB nil, RMB nil, RMB35,235,000, RMB14,833,000 and RMB nil for the years ended 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014 and the six months ended 30 June 2014 and 2015, respectively.

The Target Group had 3, 3, 3, 3 and 2 customers with whom transactions have exceeded 10% of the Target Group’s revenue for the years ended 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014 and the six months ended 30 June 2014 and 2015, respectively. Revenues from sales to these customers amounted to approximately RMB202,806,000, RMB788,891,000, RMB414,740,000, RMB14,588,000 and RMB21,413,000 for the years ended 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014 and the six months ended 30 June 2014 and 2015, respectively. Details of concentrations of credit risk arising from these customers are set out in note 30(a).

The Target Group’s business is subject to seasonal fluctuation. In general, solar power plants are located primarily in the northern part of China where, due to weather conditions, the construction work tend to commence during the second quarter of a calendar year after the approval of project funding of the customers from government authorities and the majority of the construction work normally occur during the third and fourth quarters of a calendar year. Consequently, revenue in the third and fourth quarters are generally greater than in the first and second quarters of the year.

13 GOODWILL

Goodwill is allocated to the Target Group’s monitoring system cash-generating units (CGU), which was acquired in June 2014.

The recoverable amount of the CGU at 31 December 2014 is determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using an estimated weighted average growth rate of 3%. The growth rates used do not exceed the long-term average growth rates for the business in which the CGU operates. The cash flows are discounted using a discount rate of 11.5%. The discount rates used are pre-tax and reflect specific risks relating to the relevant business.

No impairment loss on goodwill has been recognised during the year ended 31 December 2014 in respect of the Target Group’s monitoring system business.

At 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014 and 30 June 2015, the Target Company’s trade debtors and bills receivable of RMB42,170,000, RMB45,313,000, RMB51,064,000 and RMB51,064,000 were individually determined to be impaired.

The individually impaired receivables related to customers that were in financial difficulties and management assessed that the receivables are not probable to be recovered. Consequently, specific allowances for doubtful debts were recognised in full. The Target Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.

Receivables that were neither past due nor impaired relate to a wide range of customers for whom there was no recent history of default.

At 31 December 2012, 2013, 2014 and 30 June 2015, receivables that were past due but not impaired relate to customers that have good track records with the Target Group and the Target Company. Based on past experience, management believes that no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of these balances as there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the balances are still considered fully recoverable.

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

(d) Nature and purpose of reserves

  • (i) Share premium

The application of the share premium account of the Target Company is governed by the PRC Company Law.

  • (ii) PRC Statutory reserve

As stipulated by regulations in the PRC, the Target Company’s subsidiaries established and operated in the mainland China are required to appropriate 10% of their after-tax-profit (after offsetting prior year losses) as determined in accordance with the PRC accounting rules and regulations, to the statutory surplus reserve until the reserve balance reaches 50% of the registered capital. The transfer to this reserve must be made before distribution of profits to parent companies.

The statutory reserve can be utilised, upon approval by the relevant authorities, to offset accumulated losses or to increase capital of the subsidiary, provided that the balance after such issue is not less than 25% of its registered capital.

(e) Distributability of reserves

At 31 December 2012, 2013, 2014 and 30 June 2015, the aggregate amount of reserves available for distribution to equity shareholder of the Target Company were RMB61,547,000, RMB129,295,000, RMB150,670,000 and RMB113,988,000, respectively.

(f) Capital management

The Target Group’s primary objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk and by securing access to finance at a reasonable cost.

The Target Group actively and regularly reviews and manages its capital structure to maintain a balance between the higher shareholders returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position, and makes adjustments to the capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions.

The Target Group monitors its capital structure with reference to its debt position. The Target Group’s strategy is to maintain the equity and debt in a balanced position and ensure there are adequate working capital to service its debt obligations.

– II-69 –

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

The Target Group’s debt to asset ratio, being the Target Group’s total liabilities over its total assets were 63%, 78%, 67% and 69% at 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014 and 30 June 2015. The Target Company’s debt to asset ratio, being the Target Company’s total liabilities over its total assets were 60%, 72%, 67% and 68% at 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014 and 30 June 2015.

Neither the Target Company nor any of its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

30 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Exposure to credit, liquidity, interest rate and currency risks arises in the normal course of the Target Group’s business. The Target Group’s exposure to these risks and the financial risk management policies and practices used by the Target Group to manage these risks are described below.

(a) Credit risk

The Target Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and cash equivalents, pledged bank deposits and trade and other receivables. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposures to these credit risks are monitored on an ongoing basis.

Cash and cash equivalents and pledged bank deposits held by the Target Group are mainly deposited or placed on financial institutions such as commercial banks with sound reputation. The credit risk is considered low.

In respect of trade and other receivables, individual credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. These evaluations focus on the customer’s past history of making payments when due and current ability to pay, and take into account information specific to the customer as well as pertaining to the economic environment in which the customer operates. Trade receivables are monitored on an ongoing basis and the Target Group’s credit risk is not significant. Normally, the Target Group does not obtain collateral from customers.

As of the end of the reporting period, the Target Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Target Group due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties is arising from the carrying amount of the respective recognised financial assets as stated in the Target Group’s consolidated statements of financial position.

Further quantitative disclosures in respect of the Target Group’s exposure to credit risk arising from trade and other receivables are set out in note 20.

(b) Liquidity risk

Individual operating entities within the Target Group are responsible for their own cash management, including the short term investment of cash surpluses and the raising of loans to cover expected cash demands, subject to approval by the Target Company’s board when the borrowings exceed certain predetermined levels of authority. The Target Group’s policy is to regularly monitor its liquidity requirements and its compliance with lending covenants, to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash and readily realisable marketable securities and adequate committed lines of funding from major financial institutions to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.

The following tables show the remaining contractual maturities at the end of each reporting period during the Relevant Periods of the Target Group and the Target Company’s financial liabilities, which are based on contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest payments computed using contractual rates or, if floating, based on rates current at the end of the reporting period) and the earliest date the Target Group and the Target Company can be required to pay:

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

(c) Interest rate risk

The Target Group’s interest rate risk arises primarily from bank loans and other borrowings, corporate bond payable and loan from immediate controlling party issued at variable rates and fixed rates expose the Target Group to cash flow interest rate risk and fair value interest rate risk respectively. The Target Group adopts a policy of ensuring at least 40% of its net borrowings are effectively on a fixed rate basis, either through the contractual terms of the interest-bearing financial assets and liabilities or through the use of interest rate swaps. For this purpose the Target Group defines “net borrowings” as being interest-bearing financial liabilities less interest-bearing investments (excluding cash held for short-term working capital purposes). The Target Group’s interest rate profile as monitored by management is set out in (i) below.

(i) Interest rate profile

The following table details the interest rate profile of the Target Group and the Target Company’s net borrowings (as defined above) at the end of each reporting period during the Relevant Periods.

(ii) Sensitivity analysis

At 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014 and 30 June 2015, it is estimated that a general increase/decrease of 50 basis points in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, would have decreased/increased the Target Group’s profit after tax and retained profits by approximately RMB446,250, RMB340,000, RMB255,000 and RMB nil respectively.

Other components of consolidated equity would not be affected by the changes in interest rates.

The sensitivity analysis above indicates the instantaneous change in the Target Group’s profit after tax (and retained profits) and other components of consolidated equity that would arise assuming that the change in interest rates had occurred at the end of each reporting period during the Relevant Periods and had been applied to re-measure those financial instruments held by the Target Group which expose the Target Group to fair value interest rate risk at the end of each reporting period during the Relevant Periods. In respect of the exposure to cash flow interest rate risk arising from floating rate non-derivative instruments held by the Target Group at the end of the reporting period, the impact on Target Group’s profit after tax (and retained profits) and other components of consolidated equity is estimated as an annualised impact on interest expense or income of such a change in interest rates. The analysis is performed on the same basis for the years ended 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014 and six month ended 30 June 2015.

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

(d) Currency risk

As the Target Group’s principal activities are carried out in the PRC, the Target Group’s transactions are mainly denominated in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions involving RMB must take place through the People’s Bank of China or other institutions authorised to buy and sell foreign exchange. The exchange rates adopted for the foreign exchange transactions are the rates of exchange quoted by the People’s Bank of China that are determined largely by supply and demand.

The Target Group currently does not have a policy on foreign currency risk as it had minimal transactions denominated in foreign currencies during the Relevant Periods and the impact of foreign currency risk on the Target Group’s operation is minimal.

(e) Fair value measurement

The carrying amount of the Target Group and the Target Company’s financial instruments carried at cost or amortised cost are not materially different from their fair value as at 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014 and 30 June 2015.

  • (2) The adjustments represent the payment of the consideration for the Proposed Acquisition, which amounts to RMB347,800,000 to be satisfied in cash, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

According to the Purchase Agreement, the Group proposed to acquire 44.587% equity interest in the Target Company and will have significant influence over the Target Company upon completion of the Proposed Acquisition.

The fair value adjustment on the Target Group’s net assets of RMB95,212,000 refers to the assets valuation appreciation on the land parcels located in the PRC owned by the Target Group (detailed in Appendix V) and the office buildings, manufacturing plants and other structures situated on these land parcels, which is determined based on the valuation of these assets of RMB179,500,000 as estimated by Grant Sherman Appraisal Limited over their carrying amounts of RMB84,288,000.

APPENDIX IV

UNAUDITED PRO-FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

The amounts of fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Target Group are subject to change upon the completion of the valuation of the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Target Group on the date of completion of the Proposed Acquisition. Consequently, the carrying amount of the interest in an associate and the share of profit or loss of the associate for subsequent periods, will likely result in different amounts than those stated in this unaudited pro forma financial information.

  • (ii) According to HKAS 28, on acquisition of the interest in an associate, goodwill relating to an associate, being the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the Target Group, is included in the carrying amount of the interest in an associate.

According to HKAS 28, HKAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement , and HKAS 36, Impairment of Assets , after initial recognition, the entire carrying amount of the interest in an associate is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount, whenever there is indicator that the interest in an associate may be impaired.

For the purpose of the unaudited pro forma financial information, the Company has ensured the steps taken on the assessment of impairment performed in accordance with HKAS 36. The Directors have assessed the impairment of the interest in an associate by considering whether the carrying amount of the interest in an associate will exceed its recoverable amount, being higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell, as at 30 June 2015 for the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as if the Proposed Acquisition had been completed on 30 June 2015. The Directors concludes there is no impairment on the interest in an associate.

The Company will adopt consistent accounting policies, valuation method and principal assumptions as used in the unaudited pro forma financial information to assess the impairment of the investment in the Target Company in the future financial period ends.

  • (3) The adjustment reflects the elimination of the transactions between the Group and the Target Group upon the completion of the Proposed Acquisition.

  • (4) No adjustment has been made to the unaudited pro forma financial information for acquisition-related costs (including fees to legal advisers, financial adviser, reporting accountants, valuer, printer and other expenses) as the directors determined that such costs are insignificant.

  • (5) No adjustment has been made to the unaudited pro forma financial information to reflect any trading results or other transactions of the Enlarged Group entered into subsequent to 30 June 2015.

B. REPORT ON THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following is the text of a report received from the reporting accountants, KPMG, Certified Public Accountants, Hong Kong, in respect of the Group’s pro forma financial information for the purpose in this circular.

8th Floor Prince’s Building 10 Chater Road Central Hong Kong

30 December 2015

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

TO THE DIRECTORS OF KONG SUN HOLDINGS LIMITED

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of pro forma financial information of Kong Sun Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”) by the directors of the Company (the “Directors”) for illustrative purposes only. The pro forma financial information consists of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as at 30 June 2015 and related notes as set out in Part A of Appendix IV to the circular dated 30 December 2015 (the “Circular”) issued by the Company.

(the “Proposed Acquisition”) on the Group’s assets and liabilities as at 30 June 2015 as if the Proposed Acquisition had taken place at 30 June 2015. As part of this process, information about the Group’s assets and liabilities as at 30 June 2015 has been extracted by the Directors from the interim report of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2015, on which no review report has been published.

Directors’ Responsibilities for the Pro Forma Financial Information

VALUATION REPORT

The following is the text of letter, summary of valuation and valuation certificates, prepared for the purpose of incorporation in this circular, received from Grant Sherman Appraisal Limited, an independent property valuer, in connection with their valuation as at 31 October 2015 of the property interests to be held by the Group in the People’s Republic of China.

==> picture [190 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

Unit 1005, 10/F., AXA Centre, 151 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong

30 December 2015

The Directors Kong Sun Holdings Limited Unit 3601, 36/F, China Resources Building, 26 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

In accordance with your instructions for us to value the property interests to be held by Kong Sun Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) in the People’s Republic of China (“the PRC”), we confirm that we have carried out inspections, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market value of such property interests as at the 31 October 2015 (“date of valuation”) for the purpose of incorporation into the circular issued by the Company on the date hereof.

Our valuation is our opinion of the market value of the property interests where we would define market value as intended to mean “the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.

Market Value is understood as the value of a property estimated without regard to costs of sale or purchase (or transaction) and without offset for any associated taxes or potential taxes.

In valuing the property interests in Group I which are to be held by the Group for further development and Group III which are to be held by the Group for investment purpose in the PRC, we have adopted the direct comparison approach and made reference to the recent transaction evidences for similar premises in the proximity. Adjustments have been made for the differences between the comparable properties and the subject properties.

– V-1 –

APPENDIX V

VALUATION REPORT

In valuing the property interests in Group II which are to be held by the Group for self-occupation in the PRC, we have adopted a combination of the market and depreciated replacement cost approach in assessing the land portion of the property and the buildings and structures standing on the land respectively. Hence, the sum of the two results represents the market value of the property as a whole. In the valuation of the land portion, reference has been made to the standard land prices in Yiyang and Baotou Cities and the sales evidence as available to us in the localities. As the nature of the buildings and structures cannot be valued on the basis of market value, they have therefore been valued on the basis of their depreciated replacement costs. The depreciated replacement cost approach considers the current cost of replacement (reproduction) of the buildings and improvements less deductions for physical deterioration and all relevant forms of obsolescence and optimisation. The depreciated replacement cost approach generally furnishes the most reliable indication of value for properties in the absence of a known market based on comparables sales. The approach is subject to adequate potential profitability of the business.

Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the owner sells the property interests on the open market in its existing state without the benefit of a deferred terms contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement which would serve to increase the values of the property interests. In addition, no forced sale situation in any manner is assumed in our valuation.

We have been provided with copies of extracts of title documents relating to the properties in the PRC. However, we have not caused title searches to be made for the property interests at the relevant government bureaus in the PRC and we have not inspected the original documents to verify the ownership, encumbrances or the existence of any subsequent amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us. In undertaking our valuation for the property interests in the PRC, we have relied on the legal opinion (“the PRC legal opinion”) provided by the Group’s PRC legal adviser, Jun He Law Offices.

We have relied to a considerable extent on information provided by the Group and have accepted advice given to us by the Group on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenure, occupancy, lettings, site and floor areas and in the identification of the properties and other relevant matter. We have no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Company which is material to the valuation. We have also been advised by the Group that no material facts had been concealed or omitted in the information provided to us and have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld. All documents have been used for reference only. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view.

All dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificates are based on information contained in the documents provided to us by the Group and are approximations only. No on-site measurement has been taken.

– V-2 –

APPENDIX V

VALUATION REPORT

We have inspected the exteriors, and where possible, the interiors of the properties, in the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects. However, we have not carried out a structural survey nor have we inspected woodwork or other parts of the structures which are covered, unexposed or inaccessible and we are therefore unable to report that any such parts of the property are free from defect though in the course of our inspections we did not note any serious defects. No tests were carried out on any of the services.

We have not carried out investigation to determine the suitability of the ground conditions or the services for any property developments to be erected thereon. Our valuation is on the basis that these aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary expense or delay will be incurred during the construction period. Moreover, it is assumed that the utilization of the land and improvements will be within the boundaries of the sites held by the owner or permitted to be occupied by the owner. In addition, we assumed that no encroachment or trespass exits, unless noted in the valuation certificates.

No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the property interests nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the property interests are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect their values.

In valuing the property interests, we have fully complied with the HKIS Valuation Standards (2012 Edition) published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors (HKIS) and the requirements set out in Chapter 5 of and Practice Note 12 to the Rule Governing the Listing of Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

Unless otherwise stated, all money amounts stated are in Renminbi (RMB). The exchange rate adopted in valuing the property interest in the PRC as at 31 October 2015 was HK$1 : RMB0.8149. There has been no significant fluctuation in the exchange rate for this currency against Hong Kong Dollars between that date and the date of this letter.

We enclose herewith our summary of valuation together with the valuation certificates.

Respectfully submitted, For and on behalf of
