Dear Sir or Madam,

(1) VERY SUBSTANTIAL DISPOSAL AND

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the Announcement.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE DISPOSAL AGREEMENTS

  • (A) The First Agreement

Subject matter

On 10 July 2021, Kong Sun Yongtai, the Purchaser and the First Project Company entered into the First Agreement, pursuant to which Kong Sun Yongtai conditionally agreed to sell, and the Purchaser conditionally agreed to acquire, the First Sale Equity Interest. The Company agreed to guarantee the obligations of Kong Sun Yongtai in favour of the Purchaser under the First Agreement.

Consideration

The consideration for the First Disposal is approximately RMB37,474,000, which shall be payable by the Purchaser in cash in the following manner:

  • (i) an amount of approximately RMB22,485,000, representing approximately 60.00% of the consideration for the First Disposal, shall be paid into the Escrow Account before completion of the First Disposal (the ‘‘First Earnest Money’’) and shall be transferred to Kong Sun Yongtai within five (5) business days after completion of the First Disposal;

  • (ii) an amount of approximately RMB10,283,000, representing approximately 27.44% of the consideration for the First Disposal, shall be paid to Kong Sun Yongtai within five (5) business days after completion of handover of certain deliverables relating to the First Project Company; and

  • (iii) within ten (10) business days upon each receipt of the First Project Company of the state renewable energy subsidies, up to a total amount of approximately RMB4,706,000, representing approximately 12.56% of the consideration for the First Disposal and approximately 20% of the state renewable energy subsidies of the First Project Company granted to it prior to the Reference Date, shall be paid to Kong Sun Yongtai.

Repayment of the First Debts

As at the Reference Date, the First Project Company had the outstanding First Debts in the amount of approximately RMB10,817,000, subject to adjustment for any net increase or decrease thereof during the Transition Period as determined under the Transition Period Audit, which shall be payable by the First Project Company to Kong Sun Yongtai in cash in the following manner:

  • (i) an amount of approximately RMB9,598,000, shall be settled by the First Project Company within five (5) business days after completion of the Transition Period Audit; and

  • (ii) a lump-sum amount of up to approximately RMB1,219,000, shall be paid to Kong Sun Yongtai within ten (10) business days upon completion of all rectification works items of the First Project by Kong Sun Yongtai required by

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

the Purchaser. The rectification works shall all be completed not later than within twenty-four (24) months after completion of the First Disposal. The estimated cost of all rectification works items of the First Project is approximately RMB1,219,000. If all required rectification works cannot be completed by the 24[th] month after completion of the First Disposal, Kong Sun Yongtai will receive the agreed amount of the corresponding rectification work items completed for the First Project on dollar-to-dollar basis.

The Transition Period Audit report will be issued within fifteen (15) business days of completion of the First Disposal. In the event of any change of net assets value of the First Project Company as a result of matters occurred not in the ordinary course of business during the Transition Period, such change will be considered as a consideration adjustment. The Purchaser has the right to request compensation from Kong Sun Yongtai. However, it is contemplated that no matter will be occurred out of the ordinary course of business during the Transition Period that will constitute a material change of net assets value of the First Project Company. Therefore, there is no cap for the consideration adjustment.

Default

If the Purchaser fails to pay the consideration for the First Disposal pursuant to the terms of the First Agreement or the First Project Company fails to repay the First Debts pursuant to the terms of the First Agreement, Kong Sun Yongtai has the right to request the Purchaser and the First Project Company to pay to it a default payment, which is calculated based on the relevant unpaid amounts due and a penalty at 0.05% of the relevant amounts due on a daily basis. If the default continues for more than thirty (30) calendar days from the relevant due date, Kong Sun Yongtai will be entitled to terminate the First Agreement, refund all the payments made by the Purchaser after deducting a default payment in the maximum amount of approximately RMB3,747,000, representing approximately 10.00% of the consideration for the First Disposal and request the Purchaser to compensate for all losses incurred by Kong Sun Yongtai.

Kong Sun Yongtai will also be entitled to commence litigation against the Purchaser in the PRC court with competent jurisdiction in accordance with the PRC law. If the Purchaser refuses to perform the court decision in favour of Kong Sun Yongtai, Kong Sun Yongtai may seek enforcement by the court. Under this circumstance, the Purchaser may be added into 失信執行人名錄 (the List of Untrustworthy Executors*) (an effective enforcement machinery in the PRC), which may have a material adverse effect on the assessment of the Purchaser’s credit rating and reputation. Taking into consideration of the general market practice in the solar industry as well as the background of the Purchaser, the Directors are of the view that the settlement and completion mechanism is sufficient to safeguard the Company’s right to receive the full consideration and the possibility of the Purchaser would not honour its contractual commitment is relatively low.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Arrangements during the Transition Period

Any profits generated and any losses incurred and any changes to the net assets of the First Project Company during the Transition Period, subject to consideration adjustment as a result of matters occurred not in the ordinary course of business during the Transition Period, shall be borne by the First Project Company.

During the Transition Period, Kong Sun Yongtai shall ensure that, among other things, the First Project Company will continue its normal business operations in accordance with its past practices. No encumbrances or other third party rights will be created with respect to the equity interest in the First Project Company without the prior written consent of the Purchaser.

Termination of the First Guarantee

The amount of the First Guarantee is the amount of the Agricultural Bank Loan. Pursuant to the First Agreement, by no later than ninety (90) days after completion of the First Disposal, the Purchaser shall procure the release of the First Guarantee by Agricultural Bank. In the event that the Purchaser does not procure completion of the release of the First Guarantee within ninety (90) days after completion of the First Disposal, Kong Sun Yongtai shall have the right to seek for damages from the Purchaser and default penalty incurred thereunder calculated at a daily percentage rate of 0.05% based on the principal of guarantee amount. If the Purchaser fails to procure completion of the release of the First Guarantee within ninety (90) days after completion of the First Disposal, Kong Sun Yongtai shall have the right to rescind the First Agreement, and seek for damages from the Purchaser in the amount of not more than RMB3,474,000 and the Purchaser shall bear all the costs and expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated thereunder. The Company will then make assessment on the possible implications under the Listing Rules and make further disclosure as and when appropriate to comply with it.

The continuation of the First Guarantee was agreed after an arm’s length negotiation between the parties and was one of the key commercial terms for the Purchaser to agree to the transactions contemplated under the First Agreement. In view of the financial stress that the Group is encountering though the terms and conditions of the First Guarantee may not be ideal, the Directors consider that the First Disposal and the First Guarantee are still the best available option under the circumstances for the Company to cut losses and streamline its operation at an appropriate timing after identifying the Purchaser. The First Guarantee would also facilitate Agricultural Bank to provide its written consent regarding the First Disposal in respect of the Agricultural Bank Loan, which is a condition precedent under the First Agreement. Without the First Guarantee, completion of the First Disposal may be prolonged given it will take time for Kong Sun Yongtai and the Purchaser to explain to the Agricultural Bank for the change in control of the First Project Company and to get the consent from the Agricultural Bank for the purpose of satisfaction of the condition precedent under the First Agreement. In the worst case scenario where the Purchaser fails to procure release of the First Guarantee within ninety (90) days after completion of the First Disposal, Kong Sun Yongtai shall have the right to

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

rescind the First Agreement. On the above basis, the continuation of the First Guarantee for a short period of time after completion of the First Disposal is on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders.

(B) The Second Agreement

Subject matter

On 10 July 2021, Kong Sun Yongtai, China Resources Szitic Trust, the Purchaser and the Second Project Company entered into the Second Agreement, pursuant to which Kong Sun Yongtai conditionally agreed to sell, and the Purchaser conditionally agreed to acquire, the Second Sale Equity Interest. The Company agreed to guarantee the obligations of Kong Sun Yongtai in favour of the Purchaser under the Second Disposal Agreement.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Second Project Company is held by China Resources Szitic Trust as a trustee because of the equity pledge arrangement for the CDB Loan but is still accounted as a subsidiary of the Group. CDB Leasing will terminate the pledge arrangement before the completion of the Second Disposal and instruct China Resources Szitic Trust to allocate the equity in the Second Project Company to Kong Sun Yongtai according to the current status, and Kong Sun Yongtai is not required to pay any consideration.

Consideration

The consideration for the Second Disposal is approximately RMB21,401,000, which shall be payable by the Purchaser in cash in the following manner:

  • (i) an amount of approximately RMB7,490,000, representing approximately 35.00% of the consideration for the Second Disposal, shall be paid into the Escrow Account before completion of the Second Disposal (the ‘‘Second Earnest Money’’) and shall be transferred to Kong Sun Yongtai within five (5) business days after completion of the Second Disposal;

  • (ii) an amount of approximately RMB1,713,000, representing approximately 8.00% of the consideration for the Second Disposal, shall be paid to Kong Sun Yongtai within five (5) business days after completion of handover of certain deliverables relating to the Second Project Company; and

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Repayment of the Second Debts

As at the Reference Date, the Second Project Company had the outstanding Second Debts in the amount of approximately RMB115,814,000, subject to adjustment for any net increase or decrease thereof during the Transition Period as determined under the Transition Period Audit, which shall be payable by the Second Project Company to Kong Sun Yongtai in cash in the following manner:

  • (i) an amount of approximately RMB111,471,000, shall be settled by the Second Project Company within five (5) business days after completion of the Transition Period Audit; and

  • (ii) a lump-sum amount of up to approximately RMB4,343,000, shall be paid to Kong Sun Yongtai within ten (10) business days upon completion of all rectification works items of the Second Project by Kong Sun Yongtai required by the Purchaser. The rectification works shall all be completed not later than within twenty-four (24) months after completion of the Second Disposal. The estimated cost of all rectification works items of the Second Project is approximately RMB4,343,000. If all required rectification works cannot be completed by the end of the 24[th] month after completion of the Second Disposal, Kong Sun Yongtai will receive the agreed amount of the corresponding rectification work items completed for the Second Project on dollar-to-dollar basis.

The Transition Period Audit report will be issued within fifteen (15) business days of completion of the Second Disposal. In the event of any change of net assets value of the Second Project Company as a result of matters occurred not in the ordinary course of business during the Transition Period, such change will be considered as a consideration adjustment. The Purchaser has the right to request compensation from Kong Sun Yongtai. However, it is contemplated that no matter will be occurred out of the ordinary course of business during the Transition Period that will constitute a material change of net assets value of the Second Project Company. Therefore, there is no cap for the consideration adjustment.

Default

If the Purchaser fails to pay the consideration for the Second Disposal pursuant to the terms of the Second Agreement or the Second Project Company fails to repay the Second Debts pursuant to the terms of the Second Agreement, Kong Sun Yongtai has the right to request the Purchaser and the Second Project Company to pay to it a default payment, which is calculated based on the relevant unpaid amounts due and a penalty at 0.05% of the relevant amounts due on a daily basis. If the default continues for more than thirty (30) calendar days from the relevant due date, Kong Sun Yongtai will be entitled to terminate the Second Agreement, refund all the payments made by the Purchaser after deducting a default payment in the maximum amount of approximately RMB2,140,000, representing approximately 10.00% of the consideration for the Second Disposal and request the Purchaser to compensate for all losses incurred by Kong Sun Yongtai.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Kong Sun Yongtai will also be entitled to commence litigation against the Purchaser in the PRC court with competent jurisdiction in accordance with the PRC law. If the Purchaser refuses to perform the court decision in favour of Kong Sun Yongtai, Kong Sun Yongtai may seek enforcement by the court. Under this circumstance, the Purchaser may be added into 失信執行人名錄 (the List of Untrustworthy Executors*) (an effective enforcement machinery in the PRC), which may have a material adverse effect on the assessment of the Purchaser’s credit rating and reputation. Taking into consideration of the general market practice in the solar industry as well as the background of the Purchaser, the Directors are of the view that the settlement and completion mechanism is sufficient to safeguard the Company’s right to receive the full consideration and the possibility of the Purchaser would not honour its contractual commitment is relatively low.

Conditions Precedent

  • (a) Kong Sun Yongtai obtained the approval from the Board and the Shareholders at the EGM in accordance with the Listing Rules regarding for the Second Disposal and the Second Guarantee;

Pursuant to the Second Agreement, by no later than ninety (90) days after completion of the Second Disposal, the Purchaser shall procure the release of the Second Guarantee by CDB Leasing. In the event that the Purchaser does not procure completion of the release of the Second Guarantee within ninety (90) days after completion of the Second Disposal, Kong Sun Yongtai shall have the right to seek for damages from the Purchaser and default penalty incurred thereunder calculated at a daily percentage rate of 0.05% based on the principal of guarantee amount.

Pursuant to the Fourth Agreement, by no later than ninety (90) days after the completion of the Fourth Disposal, the Purchaser shall procure the release of the Fourth Guarantee by Kong Sun Baoyuan. In the event that the Purchaser does not procure completion of the release of the Fourth Guarantee within ninety (90) days after completion of the Fourth Disposal, Changshu Honglue shall have the right to seek for compensation for damages from the Purchaser and default penalty incurred thereunder calculated at a daily percentage rate of 0.05% based on the principal of guarantee amount. If the Purchaser fails to procure completion of the release of the Fourth Guarantee within ninety (90) days after completion of the Fourth Disposal, Changshu Honglue shall have the right to rescind the Fourth Agreement, and seek for compensation for damages from the Purchaser in the maximum amount of RMB 9,599,000 and the Purchaser shall bear all the costs and expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated thereunder. The Company will then make assessment on the possible implications under the Listing Rules and make further disclosure as and when appropriate to comply with it.

The continuation of the Fourth Guarantee was agreed after an arm‘s length negotiation between the parties and was one of the key commercial terms for the Purchaser to agree to the transactions contemplated under the Fourth Agreement. In view of the financial stress that the Group is encountering though the terms and conditions of the Fourth Guarantee may not be ideal, the Directors consider that the Fourth Disposal and the Fourth Guarantee are still the best available option under the circumstances for the Company to cut losses and streamline its operation at an appropriate timing. The Fourth Guarantee would also facilitate Kong Sun Baoyuan to provide its written consent regarding the Fourth Disposal in respect of the Kong Sun Baoyuan Loan, which is a condition precedent under the Fourth Agreement. Without the Fourth Guarantee, completion of the Fourth Disposal may be prolonged given it will take time for Changshu Honglue and the Purchaser to explain to Kong Sun Baoyuan for the change in control of the Fourth Project Company and to get the consent from Kong Sun Baoyuan for the purpose of satisfaction of the condition precedent under the Fourth Agreement. In the worst case scenario where the Purchaser fails to procure release of the Fourth Guarantee within ninety (90) days after completion of the Fourth Disposal, Changshu Honglue shall

have the right to rescind the Fourth Agreement. On the above basis, the continuation of the Fourth Guarantee for a short period of time after completion of the Fourth Disposal is on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

BASIS OF THE CONSIDERATION FOR THE DISPOSALS

The consideration for the Disposals was determined upon arm’s length negotiations between the parties with reference to (i) the unaudited net assets of the Project Companies, in the amount approximately RMB1,605,429,000 as at 31 May 2021, and adjusted by applying a discount of approximately 19.9% (i.e. RMB318,746,000), resulting in the amount approximately RMB1,285,814,000; (ii) the gearing position of the Project Companies; and (iii) the valuation of the Project Companies in the amount of approximately RMB1,231,248,000 appraised by an independent valuer.

The amount of unaudited net assets of the Project Companies of approximately RMB 1,605,429,000 as at 31 May 2021 is different from that is shown in Appendix II is due to the following:

  1. the inclusion of loans and borrowings of the Third Project Company, the Fourth Project Company, the Fifth Project Company, the Sixth Project Company and the Seventh Project Company recorded on the Group’s level of approximately RMB1,370,634,000 (the ‘‘Loans’’); and

  2. the inclusion of imputed interest of RMB75,312,000 related to the Loans which are included into the financial statements of the Third Project Company, the Fourth Project Company, the Fifth Project Company, the Sixth Project Company and the Seventh Project Company as recorded on the Group’s level.

In determining the discount to be applied to the net asset value of the Project Companies for the determination of the consideration for the Disposals, the Directors took into consideration account the following factors:

  • (i) the Disposals represent an opportunity for the Group to recoup its capital investment in the Project Companies, which will relieve the Group from its further funding commitment to the Project Companies in the form of shareholder’s loan which is costly to maintain;

  • (ii) the Project Companies recorded a significant amount of accounts receivables, being the state renewable energy subsidies to be received from the State Grid Corporation of China, of approximately RMB488,470,000 as at the Reference Date, the receipt of which depends on the decision of the relevant government authority;

  • (iii) the net debt ratio of the Project Companies is approximately 6.88 as at 30 April 2021, which is higher than the net debt ratio of the Group of approximately 1.36 as at 31 December 2020;

  • (iv) the Group is expected to save an annual finance costs of approximately RMB130,000,000 upon completion of the Disposals;

  • (v) the consideration is close to the valuation amount of the Project Companies (i.e. approximately RMB1,231,248,000) as appraised by an independent valuer; and

– 38 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (vi) the Group will continue to provide operation and maintenance services to the Project Companies, which will generate an annual service fee income of approximately RMB10,470,000 to the Group until at least 30 April 2023.

It is the usual practice in the industry and in previous disposals of the Company for having a portion of consideration to be held in an escrow account before the completion of the relevant disposal. With approximately RMB715,266,000, representing approximately 55.63% of the consideration for the Disposals being kept in the Escrow Account jointly controlled by the relevant vendor and the Purchaser, this arrangement is under normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders.

COMPLETION OF THE DISPOSALS

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Upon completion of the Disposals, the Company intends to repay and settle the following loans and borrowings recorded on the Group’s level relating to the respective Project Companies:

Loans and borrowings
— Third Project Company
— Fourth Project Company
— Fifth Project Company
— Sixth Project Company
— Seventh Project Company

500,000

300,000
180,000
1,370,634

The amount of approximately RMB1,370,634,000 has been agreed with the lenders.

Upon completion of the Disposals, the Company will continue to have 22 completed solar power plants with a total installed capacity of 619.8 MW. The Company will continue to engage in the solar power plants business with (a) the generation of solar power and sale of electricity to power grid companies through its remaining solar power plants, and (b) the provision of solar power plant operation and maintenance services to third parties, including the Project Companies disposed by the Group, through the Group’s own workforce of engineers and maintenance staff. The management team for the operation and management of the remaining group will not be downsized as a result of the Disposals.

Solar power generating business is a capital intensive industry, which highly relies on external financing in order to fund for the construction of a solar power plant while the recovery of capital investment takes a long period of time. Any delay in enlisting of the solar power plants of the Group on 可再生能源電價附加資助目錄 (Renewable Energy Tariff Subsidy Catalogue*) (the ‘‘Subsidy Catalogue’’) or any delay in the receipt of renewable energy subsidies for its solar power plants that have been enlisted on the Subsidy Catalogue could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business, financial condition, cash flow and operating results. To cope with the gearing risk, the Group will pay close attention to the market dynamics, and to avoid any unfavorable changes to the Group. The Group has been actively seeking for opportunities to transform into the asset-light model to optimise its finance structure and lower its gearing ratio. The Disposals represent a good opportunity for the Group to implement its asset-light strategy. The Company may consider further disposal(s) when it considers beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole in future.

In addition, the Disposals will lower the Group’s gearing ratio given the net proceeds from the Disposals will be applied for repaying the existing debts.

Based on the foregoing, the Directors are of the view that the Disposals and the terms of the Disposal Agreements were entered into on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSALS AND INTENDED USE OF PROCEEDS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, each of the Project Companies is an indirect whollyowned subsidiary of the Company. With effect from completion of the Disposal Agreements, the Project Companies will cease to be subsidiaries of the Company and the assets and liabilities and results of operation of the Project Companies will cease to be consolidated in the financial statements of the Company.

Upon completion of the Disposals, the unaudited total assets and the total liabilities of the Group will be decreased by approximately RMB1,254,621,000 and RMB738,875,000, respectively.

Subject to final audit, it is expected that the Group will realise a net loss on the Disposals of not more than approximately RMB344,400,000, which is calculated by reference to the difference between (i) the consideration for the Disposals (approximately RMB1,285,814,000) and net asset value of the Project Companies (excluding the goodwill as it is derived in consolidated level) and its goodwill of approximately RMB1,605,429,000 and RMB24,819,000, respectively as at 31 May 2021 and (ii) the related transaction costs, taxes and expenses of the Disposals (approximately RMB2,563,000). Despite the net loss on the Disposals, having taking into consideration of the reasons for the Disposals as stated under the paragraph headed ‘‘Reasons and Benefits for the Disposals’’ above, the Company is of the view that the Disposals will be in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole as it will lower the Group’s gearing ratio.

Upon completion of the Disposals, the net proceeds from the Disposals (being the consideration for the Disposals (approximately RMB1,285,814,000) and from repayment of the net Debts (approximately RMB215,249,000) after deducting the taxation and transaction costs (approximately RMB2,563,000)) are estimated to be approximately RMB1,498,500,000. Upon completion of the Disposals and settlement of the Loans, the net proceeds will be approximately RMB127,866,000. The Group intends to apply the net proceeds from the Disposals to repay its existing indebtedness, including, but not limited to the Loans.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

The Disposals

As all of the applicable percentage ratios under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Disposals, on an aggregated basis, are more than 75%, the transactions contemplated under the Disposal Agreements constitute a very substantial disposal for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

As one of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in the Listing Rules) in respect of the Guarantees is 5% or more but all of such percentage ratios are lower than 25%, these Guarantees constitute a discloseable transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Remaining Group primarily operates its business in the PRC and during the year ended 31 December 2018, the Remaining Group’s revenue were primarily denominated in RMB, being the functional currency of the Remaining Group’s major operating subsidiaries. Accordingly, the Directors expect any future exchange rate fluctuation will not have any material effect on the Remaining Group’s business. The Remaining Group did not use any financial instruments for hedging purpose, but will continue to monitor foreign exchange changes to best preserve the Remaining Group’s cash value.

As at 31 December 2018, the Remaining Group had charged solar power plants, trade receivables, lease prepayments and unlisted equity investments with net book value of approximately RMB7,715,608,000 (2017: RMB7,187,831,000), approximately RMB1,651,939,000 (2017: RMB890,642,000), approximately RMB774,000 (2017: RMB821,000) and approximately RMB813,158,000 (2017: RMB830,269,000), respectively, to secure bank loans and other loans facilities granted to the Remaining Group.

Contingent Liabilities

The Remaining Group acquired equity interests of certain subsidiaries principally engaged in the development of solar power plant projects and the applications for the development of these solar power plant projects were actually made by their former shareholders. According to certain notices (the ‘‘Notices’’) issued by the NEA, the Notices prohibit the original applicants who have obtained the approval documents from the government authorities for the solar power plants projects from transferring the equity interests of solar power plant projects before such solar power plants were connected to the power grid. Taking into consideration the legal opinion obtained from the Company’s legal adviser as to PRC law, and given that the Remaining Group has obtained the preliminary approval from respective relevant government authorities to continue with the development of the solar power plants, the Company’s legal adviser as to PRC law is of the view that the possibility for these subsidiaries to be fined or to face other adverse consequences imposed by the relevant government authorities is remote. Accordingly, the Directors consider there is no significant impact on the Remaining Group’s control over these subsidiaries and the development of these solar power plants.

APPENDIX I

approximately RMB29,704,000) (2019: HK$31,013,000 (equivalent to approximately RMB27,308,000)) (note 13 to the financial statements of the 2020 Annual Report) in respect of the corporate bonds was recognised in profit or loss during the year ended 31 December 2020.

Lease Liabilities

As at 31 December 2020, the lease liabilities amounted to approximately RMB159,768,000 (2019: RMB187,502,000). The decrease was mainly caused by the disposals of subsidiaries during the year ended 31 December 2020.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Remaining Group primarily operates its business in the PRC and during the year ended 31 December 2020, the Remaining Group’s revenue were primarily denominated in RMB, being the functional currency of the Remaining Group’s major operating subsidiaries. Accordingly, the Directors expect any future exchange rate fluctuation will not have any material effect on the Remaining Group’s business. The Remaining Group did not use any financial instruments for hedging purpose, but will continue to monitor foreign exchange changes to best preserve the Remaining Group’s cash value.

Charge on Assets

As at 31 December 2020, the Remaining Group had charged solar power plants, trade receivables, right-of-use assets and unlisted equity investments with net book value of approximately RMB3,033,976,000 (2019: RMB6,113,591,000), approximately RMB1,076,231,000 (2019: RMB1,944,575,000), approximately RMB719,000 (2019: RMB756,000) and approximately RMB295,441,000 (2019: RMB438,840,000), respectively, to secure bank loans and other loans facilities granted to the Remaining Group.

Save as disclosed above and in note 30 to the financial statements of the 2020 Annual Report, during the year ended 31 December 2020, the Remaining Group has no other charges on assets.

Contingent Liabilities

The Remaining Group acquired equity interests of certain subsidiaries principally engaged in the development of solar power plant projects and the applications for the development of these solar power plant projects were actually made by their former shareholders. According to the Notices issued by the State Energy Administration (國家能 源局), the Notices prohibit the original applicants who have obtained the approval documents from the government authorities for the solar power plants projects from transferring the equity interests of solar power plant projects before such solar power plants were connected to the power grid. Taking into consideration the legal opinion obtained from the Company’s legal adviser as to PRC law, and given that the Remaining Group has obtained the preliminary approval from respective relevant government authorities to continue with the development of the solar power plants, the Company’s

– I-27 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

legal adviser as to PRC law is of the view that the possibility for these subsidiaries to be fined or to face other adverse consequences imposed by the relevant government authorities is remote. Accordingly, the Directors consider there is no significant impact on the Remaining Group’s control over these subsidiaries and the development of these solar power plants.

As at 31 December 2020, the Remaining Group had executed a guarantee with respect to a loan of approximately RMB205,168,000 granted by independent third parties to 靖邊縣智光新能源開發有限公司 (Jingbian Zhiguang New Energy Development Co., Ltd.), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company before its disposal on 12 October 2020.

Save as disclosed above, during the year ended 31 December 2020, the Remaining Group has no other significant contingent liabilities.

Employees and Remuneration Policy

As at 31 December 2020, the Remaining Group had approximately 619 (2019: 611) employees in Hong Kong and the PRC. Compensation for the employees includes basic wages, variable wages, bonuses and other staff benefits. For the year ended 31 December 2020, the total employee benefit expenses (including directors’ emoluments) were approximately RMB138,677,000 (2019: RMB181,178,000).

The Financial Information has been prepared solely for the purpose of inclusion in the circular to be issued by Kong Sun Holdings Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) in connection with the proposed disposal of entire share of Jiangshan Yongchen in accordance with paragraph 14.68(2)(a)(i)(A) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ‘‘Listing Rules’’).

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Financial Information of Jinta Yongjia in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 2 to the Financial Information and paragraph 14.68(2)(a)(i) of the Listing Rules. The directors are also responsible for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Financial Information does not contain sufficient information to constitute a complete set of financial statements as defined in Hong Kong Accounting Standard 1 (Revised) ‘‘Presentation of Financial Statements’’ or an interim financial report as defined in Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 ‘‘Interim Financial Reporting’’ issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (‘‘HKICPA’’). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this Financial Information based on our review.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF JINTA YONGJIA

APPENDIX II-A

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Jinta Yongjia is a limited liability company incorporated in PRC. The principal activity of Jinta Yongjia is operation of a solar power plant.

On 10 July 2021, the Vendor, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Purchaser and Jinta Yongjia entered into the agreement (the ‘‘First Agreement’’), pursuant to which the Vendor agreed to sell, and the Purchaser agreed to acquire, the entire equity interest in Jinta Yongjia at a total consideration of approximately RMB37,474,000 (the ‘‘First Disposal’’). Upon completion of the First Disposal, Jinta Yongjia will cease to be the subsidiary of the Company.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Unaudited Financial Information of, Jinta Yongjia for the years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and for the five months ended 31 May 2020 and 2021 has been prepared in accordance with paragraph 14.68(2)(a)(i) of the Listing Rules, and solely for the purposes of inclusion in this circular issued by the Company in connection with the First Disposal.

The Unaudited Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies as those adopted by the Group in preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for those respective year, which conform with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (‘‘HKFRSs’’) (which include all HKFRSs, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (‘‘HKASs’’) and Interpretations) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (‘‘HKICPA’’) and accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong. The Unaudited Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost convention. The Unaudited Financial Information is presented in RMB and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (RMB’000) except when otherwise indicated.

The Unaudited Financial Information does not contain sufficient information to constitute a complete set of financial statements as defined in HKAS 1 (Revised) ‘‘Presentation of Financial Statements’’ nor a set of condensed financial statements as defined in HKAS 34 ‘‘Interim Financial Reporting’’ issued by the HKICPA and that it should be read in conjunction with the relevant published annual reports of the Company.

3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The HKICPA has issued a number of new or revised HKFRSs which are relevant to the Group and became effective during the respective year. The impact of these new or revised HKFRSs in respective year is summarised as follows:

HKFRS 9 — Financial Instruments

HKFRS 9 is effective for the accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2018. HKFRS 9 replaces HKAS 39, Financial instruments: recognition and measurement (‘‘HKAS 39’’). It sets out the requirements for recognising and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and some contracts to buy or sell non-financial items. The new impairment model in HKFRS 9 replaces the ‘‘incurred loss’’ model in HKAS 39 with an expected credit loss (‘‘ECL’’) model. Under the ECL model, it will no longer be necessary for a loss event to occur before an impairment loss is recognised. Instead, an entity is required to recognise and measure either a 12-month ECL or a lifetime ECL, depending on the asset and the facts and circumstances. As a consequence of adopting HKFRS 9, Jinta Yongjia’s trade and other receivables amounting to RMB12,755,000 as at 1 January 2018 was reclassified from ‘‘loans and receivables’’ as ‘‘amortised cost financial assets’’. Applying ECL model does not result in further provision for ECL as the settlement of these receivables is regulated by the Central Government of the PRC, and periodic payments have been received with no history of default in the past. As such, the Directors consider that the ECL in renewable energy subsidies receivables as at 1 January 2018 is immaterial.

– II-A-10 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF JINTA YONGJIA

APPENDIX II-A

As at 1 January 2018, the Company’s amounts due from immediate holding company and cash and cash equivalents were reclassified from the original classification of ‘‘Loan and receivables’’ under HKAS 39 to the new classification of ‘‘Amortised cost’’ under HKFRS 9. As at 1 January 2018, the directors consider that there is no material difference between the previous carrying amounts and that under new classification.

HKFRS 15 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers

HKFRS 15 is effective for the accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2018. HKFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for recognising revenue and some costs from contracts with customers. HKFRS 15 replaces HKAS 18, Revenue, which covered revenue arising from sale of goods and rendering of services, and HKAS 11, Construction Contracts, which specified the accounting for construction contracts, and related interpretations.

Jinta Yongjia has adopted HKFRS 15 using cumulative effect method without practical expedients. Jinta Yongjia has recognised the cumulative effect of initially applying HKFRS 15 as an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated losses at the date of initial application (that is, 1 January 2018). As a result, the unaudited financial information presented for 2017 has not been restated.

Jinta Yongjia sells electricity to the power grid company. Revenue from sales of electricity is recognised over time when the electricity generated and transmitted is simultaneously received and consumed by the power grid companies. Jinta Yongjia has elected the practical expedient to recognise revenue in the amount to which Jinta Yongjia has a right to invoice as the amount represents and corresponds directly with the value of performance completed and transferred to the power grid company. Jinta Yongjia has no unsatisfied performance obligations at each reporting date. In the opinion of the Directors, the adoption of HKFRS 15 did not result in significant impact on Jinta Yongjia’s accounting policies on revenue.

4. REVENUE

Revenue represents income from sales of electricity (including renewable energy subsidies). During the years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and the five months ended 31 May 2020 and 2021, unaudited sales of electricity includes renewable energy subsidies amounting to RMB7,428,000, RMB8,532,000, RMB8,225,000, RMB3,327,000 and RMB3,324,000 respectively.

5. INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Pursuant to CaiShui 2008 No. 46 Notice on the Execution of the Catalogue of Public Infrastructure Projects Entitled for Preferential Tax Treatment* (財政部、國家稅務總局關於執行公共基礎設施項目企業所得稅優惠目錄 有關問題的通知), Jinta Yongjia has been approved to entitle a tax holiday of a 3-year full exemption followed by a 3-year 50% exemption commencing from their respective years in which their first operating income is derived.

Jinta Yongjia’s trade receivables are mainly receivables from sales of electricity. Generally, the receivables are due within 30 to 180 days from the date of billing, except for the renewable energy subsidy.

Renewable energy subsidy receivables represent PRC government subsidies on solar power plants to be received from the State Grid Company based on the respective electricity sale and purchase agreements for each of the solar power plants and the prevailing nationwide government policies. As at 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and 31 May 2021, the outstanding renewable energy subsidy amounted to RMB8,032,000, RMB17,733,000, RMB22,099,000 and RMB25,855,000 respectively.

– II-A-13 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF JINTA YONGJIA

APPENDIX II-A

Expected loss rate of these renewable energy subsidy receivables are assessed to be low, because the debtor is state-owned and have good repayment history. In addition, the directors of the Jinta Yongjia are confident that the renewable energy subsidy receivables are fully recoverable but only subject to timing of allocation of funds from the PRC government. Accordingly, the credit risk regarding contract assets of tariff income receivables is limited.

REPORT ON REVIEW OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF GANSU HONGYUAN PHOTOVOLTAIC LIMITED

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF KONG SUN HOLDINGS LIMITED

Introduction

We have reviewed the financial information of Gansu Hongyuan Photovoltaic Limited (‘‘Gansu Hongyuan’’) set out on pages II-B-3 to II-B-17 which comprises the statements of financial position as at 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and 31 May 2021 and the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statements of cash flows and the statements of changes in equity for each of the years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and for the five months ended 31 May 2020 and 2021 and explanatory notes (the ‘‘Financial Information’’). The Financial Information has been prepared solely for the purpose of inclusion in the circular to be issued by Kong Sun Holdings Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) in connection with the proposed disposal of entire share of Gansu Hongyuan (the ‘‘Circular’’) in accordance with paragraph 14.68(2)(a)(i)(A) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ‘‘Listing Rules’’).

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Financial Information of Gansu Hongyuan in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 2 to the Financial Information and paragraph 14.68(2)(a)(i) of the Listing Rules. The directors are also responsible for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Financial Information does not contain sufficient information to constitute a complete set of financial statements as defined in Hong Kong Accounting Standard 1 (Revised) ‘‘Presentation of Financial Statements’’ or an interim financial report as defined in Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 ‘‘Interim Financial Reporting’’ issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (‘‘HKICPA’’). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this Financial Information based on our review. This report is made solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 ‘‘Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity’’ and with reference to Practice Note 750 ‘‘Review of Financial Information under the Hong Kong Listing Rules for a Very Substantial Disposal’’ issued by the HKICPA. A review of the financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other

review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Financial Information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 2 to the Financial Information.

Emphasis of Matter — Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw attention to note 2 to the Financial Information of Gansu Hongyuan, which indicates that Gansu Hongyuan had net current liabilities of RMB44,048,000 as at 31 May 2021. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about Gansu Hongyuan’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Set out below is the unaudited financial information of Gansu Hongyuan which comprises the unaudited statements of financial position of Gansu Hongyuan as at 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and 31 May 2021 and the unaudited statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, unaudited statements of cash flows and unaudited statements of changes in equity for the years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and for the five months ended 31 May 2020 and 2021 and certain explanatory notes (altogether referred to as ‘‘Unaudited Financial Information’’).

The Unaudited Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with paragraph 14.68(2)(a)(i) of the Listing Rules and the basis of preparation as set out in note 2 to the Unaudited Financial Information.

The Unaudited Financial Information is prepared by the Directors solely for the purpose of inclusion in this circular in connection with the proposed disposal of the entire equity interest in the Gansu Hongyuan. The Company’s auditor, BDO Limited, has reviewed the Unaudited Financial Information of Gansu Hongyuan in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 ‘‘Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity’’ and with reference to Practice Note 750 ‘‘Review of Financial Information under the Hong Kong Listing Rules for a Very Substantial Disposal’’ issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable the Company’s auditor to obtain assurance that the Company’s auditor would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, the Company’s auditor does not express an audit opinion. The Company’s auditor has issued an unmodified review report.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF GANSU HONGYUAN

APPENDIX II-B

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Gansu Hongyuan is a limited liability company incorporated in PRC. The principal activity of Gansu Hongyuan is operation of a solar power plant.

On 10 July 2021, the Vendor, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Purchaser and Gansu Hongyuan entered into the agreement (the ‘‘Second Agreement’’), pursuant to which the Vendor agreed to sell, and the Purchaser agreed to acquire, the entire equity interest in Gansu Hongyuan at a total consideration of approximately RMB21,401,000 (the ‘‘Second Disposal’’). Upon completion of the Second Disposal, Gansu Hongyuan will cease to be the subsidiary of the Company.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Unaudited Financial Information of, Gansu Hongyuan for the years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and for the five months ended 31 May 2020 and 2021 has been prepared in accordance with paragraph 14.68(2)(a)(i) of the Listing Rules, and solely for the purposes of inclusion in this circular issued by the Company in connection with the Second Disposal.

The Unaudited Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies as those adopted by the Group in preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for those respective year, which conform with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (‘‘HKFRSs’’) (which include all HKFRSs, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (‘‘HKASs’’) and Interpretations) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (‘‘HKICPA’’) and accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong. The Unaudited Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost convention. The Unaudited Financial Information is presented in RMB and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (RMB’000) except when otherwise indicated.

The Unaudited Financial Information does not contain sufficient information to constitute a complete set of financial statements as defined in HKAS 1 (Revised) ‘‘Presentation of Financial Statements’’ nor a set of condensed financial statements as defined in HKAS 34 ‘‘Interim Financial Reporting’’ issued by the HKICPA and that it should be read in conjunction with the relevant published annual reports of the Company.

The Unaudited Financial Information of Gansu Hongyuan has been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes the realisation of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business notwithstanding Gansu Hongyuan had net current liabilities of RMB44,048,000 as at 31 May 2021. These conditions indicate the existence of a material certainty which may cast significant doubt on Gansu Hongyuan’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore Gansu Hongyuan may not be able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Nevertheless, the directors of the Company are of the opinion that Gansu Hongyuan will have sufficient cash resources to satisfy its future working capital and other financing requirements in the next twelve months from 31 May 2021 after taking into account the followings:

  • (i) the cash flow projection of Gansu Hongyuan for the next twelve months from 31 May 2021, the directors of the Company are of the opinion that Gansu Hongyuan is able to generate positive cash flows from its operation. In preparing the cash flow projection by the directors of Gansu Hongyuan, it was assumed that proceeds of renewable energy subsidy receivables in respect of sale of electricity will be received with reference to prevalent payment trend after successfully enlisted in the renewable energy tariff subsidy catalogue;

  • (ii) intermediate holding company, immediate holding company (‘‘Kong Sun Yongtai’’) and fellow subsidiaries have confirmed not to demand repayment of debt due from Gansu Hongyuan until such time when the repayment will not affect Gansu Hongyuan’s ability to repay other creditors in the normal course of business for the twelve months after 31 May 2021 or up to the completion date of the Second Disposal, whichever is earlier;

– II-B-10 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF GANSU HONGYUAN

APPENDIX II-B

  • (iii) Gansu Hongyuan scheduled to repay the loans and borrowings of RMB72,017,000 as at 31 May 2021 according to the repayment terms of the borrowings. On July 2021, RMB600,000 has been repaid. Pursuant to the Second Agreement, Kong Sun Yongtai will continue to provide the guarantees in respect of existing loans and borrowings of Gansu Hongyuan of RMB72,017,000 as at 31 May 2021 after the completion of the Second Disposal until the guarantees are released and the Purchaser will procure the release of the guarantees within 90 days of completion of the Second Disposal;

  • (iv) Kong Sun Yongtai has confirmed to provide continuing financial support to Gansu Hongyuan so as to enable Gansu Hongyuan to meet its liabilities and obligations as and when they fall due and to continue its business for twelve months after 31 May 2021 or up to the completion date of the Second Disposal, whichever is earlier; and

  • (v) the Purchaser has agreed, conditionally upon the completion of the Second Disposal, to provide continuing financial support to Gansu Hongyuan so as to enable Gansu Hongyuan to meet its liabilities and obligations (including the repayment of the loans and borrowing) as and when they fall due and to continue its business after the completion of the Second Disposal.

Should Gansu Hongyuan be unable to continue in business as a going concern, adjustments would have to be made in the financial information to write down the values of the assets to their net realisable amounts, to provide for any further liabilities which might arise, and to reclassify non-current assets and non-current liabilities as current assets and current liabilities respectively. The effect of such adjustments has not yet been reflected in the financial statements.

3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The HKICPA has issued a number of new or revised HKFRSs which are relevant to the Group and became effective during the respective year. The impact of these new or revised HKFRSs in respective year is summarised as follows:

HKFRS 9 — Financial Instruments

HKFRS 9 is effective for the accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2018. HKFRS 9 replaces HKAS 39, Financial instruments: recognition and measurement (‘‘HKAS 39’’). It sets out the requirements for recognising and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and some contracts to buy or sell non-financial items. The new impairment model in HKFRS 9 replaces the ‘‘incurred loss’’ model in HKAS 39 with an expected credit loss (‘‘ECL’’) model. Under the ECL model, it will no longer be necessary for a loss event to occur before an impairment loss is recognised. Instead, an entity is required to recognise and measure either a 12-month ECL or a lifetime ECL, depending on the asset and the facts and circumstances. As a consequence of adopting HKFRS 9, Gansu Hongyuan’s trade and other receivables amounting to RMB57,022,000 as at 1 January 2018 was reclassified from ‘‘loans and receivables’’ as ‘‘amortised cost financial assets’’. Applying ECL model does not result in further provision for ECL as the settlement of these receivables is regulated by the Central Government of the PRC, and periodic payments have been received with no history of default in the past. As such, the Directors consider that the ECL in renewable energy subsidies receivables as at 1 January 2018 is immaterial.

As at 1 January 2018, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were reclassified from the original classification of ‘‘Loan and receivables’’ under HKAS 39 to the new classification of ‘‘Amortised cost’’ under HKFRS 9. As at 1 January 2018, the directors consider that there is no material difference between the previous carrying amounts and that under new classification.

HKFRS 15 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers

HKFRS 15 is effective for the accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2018. HKFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for recognising revenue and some costs from contracts with customers. HKFRS 15 replaces HKAS 18, Revenue, which covered revenue arising from sale of goods and rendering of services, and HKAS 11, Construction Contracts, which specified the accounting for construction contracts, and related interpretations.

– II-B-11 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF GANSU HONGYUAN

APPENDIX II-B

Gansu Hongyuan has adopted HKFRS 15 using cumulative effect method without practical expedients. Gansu Hongyuan has recognised the cumulative effect of initially applying HKFRS 15 as an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated losses at the date of initial application (that is, 1 January 2018). As a result, the unaudited financial information presented for 2017 has not been restated.

Gansu Hongyuan sells electricity to the power grid company. Revenue from sales of electricity is recognised over time when the electricity generated and transmitted is simultaneously received and consumed by the power grid companies. Gansu Hongyuan has elected the practical expedient to recognise revenue in the amount to which Gansu Hongyuan has a right to invoice as the amount represents and corresponds directly with the value of performance completed and transferred to the power grid company. Gansu Hongyuan has no unsatisfied performance obligations at each reporting date. In the opinion of the Directors, the adoption of HKFRS 15 did not result in significant impact on Gansu Hongyuan’s accounting policies on revenue.

HKFRS 16 — Lease

HKFRS 16 is effective for the accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The adoption of HKFRS 16 primarily affects Gansu Hongyuan’s accounting as a lessee of leases which are classified as operating leases under HKAS 17, Leases. Upon the adoption of HKFRS 16, at the lease commencement date, Gansu Hongyuan as a lessee recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, except for short-term leases with a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The application of HKFRS 16 has impact on the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as well as the recognition of depreciation charges of right-of-use assets and the interest expense on lease liabilities.

Gansu Hongyuan has applied HKFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach with a date of initial application of 1 January 2019, under which the cumulative effect of initial application is recognised as at 1 January 2019. As a result, the comparative information presented in 2018 has not been restated and continues to be reported under HKAS 17, as permitted under the simplified transition approach in the standard. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from HKFRS 16 are therefore recognised in the opening balances on 1 January 2019. In the opinion of our Directors, the adoption of HKFRS 16 resulted in reclassification of Gansu Hongyuan’s ‘‘Lease prepayments’’ as ‘‘Right-of-use assets’’ and did not have significant impact on Gansu Hongyuan’s net assets and net profits when compared with those that would have been presented under HKAS 17.

4. REVENUE

Revenue represents income from sales of electricity (including renewable energy subsidies). During the years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and the five months ended 31 May 2020 and 2021, unaudited sales of electricity includes renewable energy subsidies amounting to RMB19,333,000, RMB22,270,000, RMB20,732,000, RMB8,930,000 and RMB10,112,000 respectively.

5. INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Pursuant to CaiShui 2008 No. 46 Notice on the Execution of the Catalogue of Public Infrastructure Projects Entitled for Preferential Tax Treatment* (財政部、國家稅務總局關於執行公共基礎設施項目企業所得稅優惠目錄 有關問題的通知), Gansu Hongyuan has been approved to entitle a tax holiday of a 3-year full exemption followed by a 3-year 50% exemption commencing from their respective years in which their first operating income is derived.

Gansu Hongyuan’s trade receivables are mainly receivables from sales of electricity. Generally, the receivables are due within 30 to 180 days from the date of billing, except for the renewable energy subsidy.

Renewable energy subsidy receivables represent PRC government subsidies on solar power plants to be received from the State Grid Company based on the respective electricity sale and purchase agreements for each of the solar power plants and the prevailing nationwide government policies. As at 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and 31 May 2021, the outstanding renewable energy subsidy amounted to RMB21,019,000, RMB46,363,000, RMB56,534,000 and RMB67,961,000 respectively.

Expected loss rate of these renewable energy subsidy receivables are assessed to be low, because the debtor is state-owned and have good repayment history. In addition, the directors of the Gansu Hongyuan are confident that the renewable energy subsidy receivables are fully recoverable but only subject to timing of allocation of funds from the PRC government. Accordingly, the credit risk regarding contract assets of tariff income receivables is limited.

REPORT ON REVIEW OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF DUNHUANG WANFA NEW ENERGY LIMITED COMPANY

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF KONG SUN HOLDINGS LIMITED

Introduction

We have reviewed the financial information of Dunhuang Wanfa New Energy Limited Company (‘‘Dunhuang Wanfa’’) set out on pages II-C-3 to II-C-15 which comprises the statements of financial position as at 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and 31 May 2021 and the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statements of cash flows and the statements of changes in equity for each of the years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and for the five months ended 31 May 2020 and 2021 and explanatory notes (the ‘‘Financial Information’’). The Financial Information has been prepared solely for the purpose of inclusion in the circular to be issued by Kong Sun Holdings Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) in connection with the proposed disposal of entire share of Dunhuang Wanfa (the ‘‘Circular’’) in accordance with paragraph 14.68(2)(a)(i)(A) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ‘‘Listing Rules’’).

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Financial Information of Dunhuang Wanfa in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 2 to the Financial Information and paragraph 14.68(2)(a)(i) of the Listing Rules. The directors are also responsible for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Financial Information does not contain sufficient information to constitute a complete set of financial statements as defined in Hong Kong Accounting Standard 1 (Revised) ‘‘Presentation of Financial Statements’’ or an interim financial report as defined in Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 ‘‘Interim Financial Reporting’’ issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (‘‘HKICPA’’). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this Financial Information based on our review. This report is made solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 ‘‘Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity’’ and with reference to Practice Note 750 ‘‘Review of Financial Information under the Hong Kong Listing Rules for a Very Substantial Disposal’’ issued by the HKICPA. A review of the financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other

review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Financial Information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 2 to the Financial Information.

Emphasis of Matter — Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw attention to note 2 to the Financial Information of Dunhuang Wanfa, which indicates that Dunhuang Wanfa has incurred a loss of RMB22,321,000 and RMB3,852,000 for the year ended 31 December 2020 and five months ended 31 May 2021 respectively and had net current liabilities of RMB416,728,000 as at 31 May 2021. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about Dunhuang Wanfa’s ability to continue as a going concern.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF DUNHUANG WANFA

Set out below is the unaudited financial information of Dunhuang Wanfa which comprises the unaudited statements of financial position of Dunhuang Wanfa as at 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and 31 May 2021 and the unaudited statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, unaudited statements of cash flows and unaudited statements of changes in equity for the years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and for the five months ended 31 May 2020 and 2021 and certain explanatory notes (altogether referred to as ‘‘Unaudited Financial Information’’).

The Unaudited Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with paragraph 14.68(2)(a)(i) of the Listing Rules and the basis of preparation as set out in note 2 to the Unaudited Financial Information.

The Unaudited Financial Information is prepared by the Directors solely for the purpose of inclusion in this circular in connection with the proposed disposal of the entire equity interest in the Dunhuang Wanfa. The Company’s auditor, BDO Limited, has reviewed the Unaudited Financial Information of Dunhuang Wanfa in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 ‘‘Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity’’ and with reference to Practice Note 750 ‘‘Review of Financial Information under the Hong Kong Listing Rules for a Very Substantial Disposal’’ issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable the Company’s auditor to obtain assurance that the Company’s auditor would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, the Company’s auditor does not express an audit opinion. The Company’s auditor has issued an unmodified review report.

APPENDIX II-C

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF DUNHUANG WANFA

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Dunhuang Wanfa is a limited liability company incorporated in PRC. The principal activity of Dunhuang Wanfa is operation of a solar power plant.

On 10 July 2021, the Vendor, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Purchaser and Dunhuang Wanfa entered into the agreement (the ‘‘Third Agreement’’), pursuant to which the Vendor agreed to sell, and the Purchaser agreed to acquire, the entire equity interest in Dunhuang Wanfa at a total consideration of approximately RMB471,917,000 (the ‘‘Third Disposal’’). Upon completion of the Third Disposal, Dunhuang Wanfa will cease to be the subsidiary of the Company.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Unaudited Financial Information of, Dunhuang Wanfa for the years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and for the five months ended 31 May 2020 and 2021 has been prepared in accordance with paragraph 14.68(2)(a)(i) of the Listing Rules, and solely for the purposes of inclusion in this circular issued by the Company in connection with the Third Disposal.

The Unaudited Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies as those adopted by the Group in preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for those respective year, which conform with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (‘‘HKFRSs’’) (which include all HKFRSs, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (‘‘HKASs’’) and Interpretations) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (‘‘HKICPA’’) and accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong. The Unaudited Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost convention. The Unaudited Financial Information is presented in RMB and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (RMB’000) except when otherwise indicated.

The Unaudited Financial Information does not contain sufficient information to constitute a complete set of financial statements as defined in HKAS 1 (Revised) ‘‘Presentation of Financial Statements’’ nor a set of condensed financial statements as defined in HKAS 34 ‘‘Interim Financial Reporting’’ issued by the HKICPA and that it should be read in conjunction with the relevant published annual reports of the Company.

The Unaudited Financial Information of Dunhuang Wanfa has been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes the realisation of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business notwithstanding Dunhuang Wanfa has incurred a loss of RMB22,321,000 and RMB3,852,000 for the year ended 31 December 2020 and five months ended 31 May 2021 respectively and had net current liabilities of RMB416,728,000 as at 31 May 2021. These conditions indicate the existence of a material certainty which may cast significant doubt on Dunhuang Wanfa’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore Dunhuang Wanfa may not able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Nevertheless, the directors of the Company are of the opinion that Dunhuang Wanfa will have sufficient cash resources to satisfy its future working capital and other financing requirements in the next twelve months from 31 May 2021 after taking into account the followings:

  • (i) the cash flow projection of Dunhuang Wanfa for the next twelve months from 31 May 2021, the directors of the Company are of the opinion that Dunhuang Wanfa is able to generate positive cash flows from its operation. In preparing the cash flow projection by the directors of Dunhuang Wanfa, it was assumed that proceeds of renewable energy subsidy receivables in respect of sale of electricity will be received with reference to prevalent payment trend after successfully enlisted in the renewable energy tariff subsidy catalogue;

  • (ii) the immediate holding company (‘‘Kong Sun Yongtai’’), intermediate holding company and fellow subsidiaries have confirmed not to demand repayment of debt due from Dunhuang Wanfa until such time when the repayment will not affect Dunhuang Wanfa’s ability to repay other creditors in the normal course of business for twelve months after 31 May 2021 or up to the completion date of the Third Disposal, whichever is earlier;

– II-C-9 –

APPENDIX II-C

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF DUNHUANG WANFA

  • (iii) as set out of in note 8 to the Unaudited Financial Information, Kong Sun Yongtai will settle the loans and borrowings of RMB500,000,000 as at 31 May 2021 after the completion of the Third Disposal;

  • (iv) Kong Sun Yongtai has confirmed to provide continuing financial support to Dunhuang Wanfa so as to enable Dunhuang Wanfa to meet its liabilities and obligations as and when they fall due and to continue its business for twelve months after 31 May 2021 or up to the completion date of the Third Disposal, whichever is earlier; and

  • (v) the Purchaser has agreed, conditionally upon the completion of the Third Disposal, to provide continuing financial support to Dunhuang Wanfa so as to enable Dunhuang Wanfa to meet its liabilities and obligations as and when they fall due and to continue its business after the completion of the Third Disposal.

Should Dunhuang Wanfa be unable to continue in business as a going concern, adjustments would have to be made in the financial information to write down the values of the assets to their net realisable amounts, to provide for any further liabilities which might arise, and to reclassify non-current assets and non-current liabilities as current assets and current liabilities respectively. The effect of such adjustments has not yet been reflected in the financial statements.

3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The HKICPA has issued a number of new or revised HKFRSs which are relevant to the Group and became effective during the respective year. The impact of these new or revised HKFRSs in respective year is summarised as follows:

HKFRS 9 — Financial Instruments

HKFRS 9 is effective for the accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2018. HKFRS 9 replaces HKAS 39, Financial instruments: recognition and measurement (‘‘HKAS 39’’). It sets out the requirements for recognising and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and some contracts to buy or sell non-financial items. The new impairment model in HKFRS 9 replaces the ‘‘incurred loss’’ model in HKAS 39 with an expected credit loss (‘‘ECL’’) model. Under the ECL model, it will no longer be necessary for a loss event to occur before an impairment loss is recognised. Instead, an entity is required to recognise and measure either a 12-month ECL or a lifetime ECL, depending on the asset and the facts and circumstances. As a consequence of adopting HKFRS 9, Dunhuang Wanfa’s trade and other receivables amounting to RMB79,893,000 as at 1 January 2018 was reclassified from ‘‘loans and receivables’’ as ‘‘amortised cost financial assets’’. Applying ECL model does not result in further provision for ECL as the settlement of these receivables is regulated by the Central Government of the PRC, and periodic payments have been received with no history of default in the past. As such, the Directors consider that the ECL in renewable energy subsidies receivables as at 1 January 2018 is immaterial.

As at 1 January 2018, the Company’s amounts due from immediate holding company and cash and cash equivalents were reclassified from the original classification of ‘‘Loan and receivables’’ under HKAS 39 to the new classification of ‘‘Amortised cost’’ under HKFRS 9. As at 1 January 2018, the directors consider that there is no material difference between the previous carrying amounts and that under new classification.

– II-C-10 –

APPENDIX II-C

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF DUNHUANG WANFA

HKFRS 15 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers

HKFRS 15 is effective for the accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2018. HKFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for recognising revenue and some costs from contracts with customers. HKFRS 15 replaces HKAS 18, Revenue, which covered revenue arising from sale of goods and rendering of services, and HKAS 11, Construction Contracts, which specified the accounting for construction contracts, and related interpretations.

Dunhuang Wanfa has adopted HKFRS 15 using cumulative effect method without practical expedients. Dunhuang Wanfa has recognised the cumulative effect of initially applying HKFRS 15 as an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated losses at the date of initial application (that is, 1 January 2018).

Dunhuang Wanfa sells electricity to the power grid company. Revenue from sales of electricity is recognised over time when the electricity generated and transmitted is simultaneously received and consumed by the power grid companies. Dunhuang Wanfa has elected the practical expedient to recognise revenue in the amount to which Dunhuang Wanfa has a right to invoice as the amount represents and corresponds directly with the value of performance completed and transferred to the power grid company. Dunhuang Wanfa has no unsatisfied performance obligations at each reporting date. In the opinion of the Directors, the adoption of HKFRS 15 did not result in significant impact on Dunhuang Wanfa’s accounting policies on revenue.

4. REVENUE

Revenue represents income from sales of electricity (including renewable energy subsidies). During the years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and the five months ended 31 May 2020 and 2021, unaudited sales of electricity includes renewable energy subsidies amounting to RMB22,700,000, RMB44,681,000, RMB47,188,000, RMB18,978,000 and RMB19,745,000 respectively.

5. INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Pursuant to CaiShui 2008 No. 46 Notice on the Execution of the Catalogue of Public Infrastructure Projects Entitled for Preferential Tax Treatment* (財政部、國家稅務總局關於執行公共基礎設施項目企業所得稅優惠目錄 有關問題的通知), Dunhuang Wanfa has been approved to entitle a tax holiday of a 3-year full exemption followed by a 3-year 50% exemption commencing from their respective years in which their first operating income is derived.

Dunhuang Wanfa’s trade receivables are mainly receivables from sales of electricity. Generally, the receivables are due within 30 to 180 days from the date of billing, except for the renewable energy subsidy

Renewable energy subsidy receivables represent PRC government subsidies on solar power plants to be received from the State Grid Company based on the respective electricity sale and purchase agreements for each of the solar power plants and the prevailing nationwide government policies. As at 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and 31 May 2021, the outstanding renewable energy subsidy amounted to RMB29,909,000, RMB80,730,000, RMB134,052,000 and RMB156,364,000 respectively.

Expected loss rate of these renewable energy subsidy receivables are assessed to be low, because the debtor is state-owned and have good repayment history. In addition, the directors of the Dunhuang Wanfa are confident that the renewable energy subsidy receivables are fully recoverable but only subject to timing of allocation of funds from the PRC government. Accordingly, the credit risk regarding trade receivables of tariff income is limited.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF DUNHUANG WANFA

According to cooperation agreement entered into between Kong Sun Yongtai and Jiaxing Shengshi (the ‘‘Cooperation Agreement’’), Jiaxing Shengshi contributed a capital of RMB500,000,000 to Dunhuang Wanfa and holds 86.207% equity interest of Dunhuang Wanfa upon completion of the capital contribution while Kong Sun Yongtai retains the power to control the financial and operating policies of Dunhuang Wanfa so as to direct its relevant activities and to obtain significant economic benefits from its activities. Dunhuang Wanfa holds a solar power plant of 60 MW in Dunhuang, Gansu Province of the PRC. Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, after repayment by Kong Sun Yongtai to Jiaxing Shengshi of the pre-agreed price, comprising (i) the cost of equity in the amount of RMB500,000,000 to be paid at the end of the term of this arrangement (i.e. 5 years from 2017); and (ii) premium on equity (in substance a finance cost) to be paid in quarterly instalments throughout the term of Jiaxing Shengshi (i.e. 5 years from 2017), Jiaxing Shengshi will transfer back the 86.207% equity interest of Dunhuang Wanfa to Kong Sun Yongtai. In view of Kong Sun Yongtai’s power to control the financial and operating policies of Dunhuang Wanfa so as to direct the relevant activities of Dunhuang Wanfa and to obtain significant economic benefits from its activities, the directors of the Company are of the opinion that the arrangement under the Cooperation Agreement is in substance a financing arrangement of RMB500,000,000 with the pledge of the 86.207% equity interests of Dunhuang Wanfa and therefore Dunhuang Wanfa is continuously treated as a whollyowned subsidiary of Kong Sun Yongtai as at 31 December 2018, 2019, 2020 and 31 May 2021.

As one of the condition precedents of the Third Agreement, Jiaxing Shengshi will transfer the 86.207% pledged equity interest in Dunhuang Wanfa back to Kong Sun Yongtai before the completion of the Third Disposal.

Kong Sun Yongtai will take up and repay the loans and borrowings of RMB500,000,000 to Jiaxing Shengshi after the completion date of the Third Disposal.

REPORT ON REVIEW OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF HUALONG COUNTY RUIQIDA NEW ENERGY LIMITED

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF KONG SUN HOLDINGS LIMITED

Introduction

We have reviewed the financial information of Hualong County Ruiqida New Energy Limited (‘‘Hualong County Ruiqida’’) set out on pages II-D-3 to II-D-15 which comprises the statements of financial position as at 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and 31 May 2021 and the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statements of cash flows and the statements of changes in equity for each of the years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and for the five months ended 31 May 2020 and 2021 and explanatory notes (the ‘‘Financial Information’’). The Financial Information has been prepared solely for the purpose of inclusion in the circular to be issued by Kong Sun Holdings Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) in connection with the proposed disposal of entire share of Hualong County Ruiqida (the ‘‘Circular’’) in accordance with paragraph 14.68(2)(a)(i)(A) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ‘‘Listing Rules’’).

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Financial Information of Hualong County Ruiqida in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 2 to the Financial Information and paragraph 14.68(2)(a)(i) of the Listing Rules. The directors are also responsible for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Financial Information does not contain sufficient information to constitute a complete set of financial statements as defined in Hong Kong Accounting Standard 1 (Revised) ‘‘Presentation of Financial Statements’’ or an interim financial report as defined in Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 ‘‘Interim Financial Reporting’’ issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (‘‘HKICPA’’). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this Financial Information based on our review. This report is made solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 ‘‘Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity’’ and with reference to Practice Note 750 ‘‘Review of Financial Information under the Hong Kong Listing Rules for a Very Substantial Disposal’’ issued by the HKICPA. A review of the financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of

persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Financial Information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 2 to the Financial Information.

Emphasis of Matter — Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw attention to note 2 to the Financial Information of Hualong County Ruiqida, which indicates that Hualong County Ruiqida has incurred a loss of RMB6,889,000 and RMB2,276,000 for the year ended 31 December 2020 and five months ended 31 May 2021 respectively and had net liabilities of RMB31,192,000 as at 31 May 2021. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about Hualong County Ruiqida’s ability to continue as a going concern.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF HUALONG COUNTY RUIQIDA

APPENDIX II-D

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Hualong County Ruiqida is a limited liability company incorporated in PRC. The principal activity of Hualong County Ruiqida is operation of a solar power plant.

On 10 July 2021, the Vendor, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Purchaser and Hualong County Ruiqida entered into the agreement (the ‘‘Fourth Agreement’’), pursuant to which the Vendor agreed to sell, and the Purchaser agreed to acquire, the entire equity interest in Hualong County Ruiqida at a total consideration of approximately RMB95,895,000 (the ‘‘Fourth Disposal’’). Upon completion of the Fourth Disposal, Hualong County Ruiqida will cease to be the subsidiary of the Company.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Unaudited Financial Information of, Hualong County Ruiqida for the years ended 31 December 2017, 2018 and 2019 and for the five months ended 31 May 2020 and 2021 has been prepared in accordance with paragraph 14.68(2)(a)(i) of the Listing Rules, and solely for the purposes of inclusion in this circular issued by the Company in connection with the Fourth Disposal.

The Unaudited Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies as those adopted by the Group in preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for those respective year, which conform with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (‘‘HKFRSs’’) (which include all HKFRSs, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (‘‘HKASs’’) and Interpretations) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (‘‘HKICPA’’) and accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong. The Unaudited Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost convention. The Unaudited Financial Information is presented in RMB and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (RMB’000) except when otherwise indicated.

The Unaudited Financial Information does not contain sufficient information to constitute a complete set of financial statements as defined in HKAS 1 (Revised) ‘‘Presentation of Financial Statements’’ nor a set of condensed financial statements as defined in HKAS 34 ‘‘Interim Financial Reporting’’ issued by the HKICPA and that it should be read in conjunction with the relevant published annual reports of the Company.

The Unaudited Financial Information of Hualong County Ruiqida has been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes the realisation of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business notwithstanding Hualong County Ruiqida has incurred a loss of RMB6,889,000 and RMB2,276,000 for the year ended 31 December 2020 and five months ended 31 May 2021 respectively and had net liabilities of RMB31,192,000 as at 31 May 2021. These conditions indicate the existence of a material certainty which may cast significant doubt on Hualong County Ruiqida’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore Hualong County Ruiqida may not be able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Nevertheless, the directors of the Company are of the opinion that Hualong County Ruiqida will have sufficient cash resources to satisfy its future working capital and other financing requirements in the next twelve months from 31 May 2021 after taking into account the followings:

  • (i) the cash flow projection of Hualong County Ruiqida for the next twelve months from 31 May 2021, the directors of the Company are of the opinion that Hualong County Ruiqida is able to generate positive cash flows from its operation. In preparing the cash flow projection by the directors of Hualong County Ruiqida, it was assumed that proceeds of renewable energy subsidy receivables in respect of sale of electricity will be received with reference to prevalent payment trend after successfully enlisted in the renewable energy tariff subsidy catalogue;

  • (ii) the intermediate holding company (‘‘Kong Sun Yongtai’’) and fellow subsidiaries of Hualong County Ruiqida has confirmed not to demand repayment of debt due from Hualong County Ruiqida until such time when the repayment will not affect Hualong County Ruiqida’s ability to repay other creditors in the normal course of business for twelve months after 31 May 2021 or up to the completion date of the Fourth Disposal, whichever is earlier;

  • (iii) as set out in note 8(a) to the Unaudited Financial Information, Kong Sun Youngtai will settle the loans and borrowings of RMB130,634,000 as at 31 May 2021 after the completion of the Fourth Disposal.

– II-D-9 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF HUALONG COUNTY RUIQIDA

APPENDIX II-D

  • (iv) Hualong County Ruiqida will repay the remaining loans and borrowings of RMB93,241,000 (the ‘‘Remaining Borrowings’’) as at 31 May 2021 according to the repayment terms of the borrowings. Pursuant to the Fourth Agreement, Kong Sun Yongtai will continue to provide the guarantees in respect of the Remaining Borrowings of Hualong County Ruiqida (note 8(b)) after the completion of the Fourth Disposal until the guarantees are released and the Purchaser will procure the release of the guarantees within 90 days of completion of the Fourth Disposal;

  • (v) Kong Sun Yongtai has confirmed to provide continuing financial support to Hualong County Ruiqida so as to enable to meet its liabilities and obligations as and when they fall due and to continue its business for twelve months after 31 May 2021 or up to the completion date of the Fourth Disposal, whichever is earlier; and

  • (vi) the Purchaser has agreed, conditionally upon the completion of the Fourth Disposal, to provide continuing financial support to Hualong County Ruiqida so as to enable Hualong County Ruiqida to meet its liabilities and obligations (including the repayment of Remaining Borrowings as set out in note 2 (iii) above) as and when they fall due and to continue its business after the completion of the Fourth Disposal.

Should Hualong County Ruiqida be unable to continue in business as a going concern, adjustments would have to be made in the financial information to write down the values of the assets to their net realisable amounts, to provide for any further liabilities which might arise, and to reclassify non-current assets and non-current liabilities as current assets and current liabilities respectively. The effect of such adjustments has not yet been reflected in the financial statements.

3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The HKICPA has issued a number of new or revised HKFRSs which are relevant to the Group and became effective during the respective year. The impact of these new or revised HKFRSs in respective year is summarised as follows:

HKFRS 9 — Financial Instruments

HKFRS 9 is effective for the accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2018. HKFRS 9 replaces HKAS 39, Financial instruments: recognition and measurement (‘‘HKAS 39’’). It sets out the requirements for recognising and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and some contracts to buy or sell non-financial items. The new impairment model in HKFRS 9 replaces the ‘‘incurred loss’’ model in HKAS 39 with an expected credit loss (‘‘ECL’’) model. Under the ECL model, it will no longer be necessary for a loss event to occur before an impairment loss is recognised. Instead, an entity is required to recognise and measure either a 12-month ECL or a lifetime ECL, depending on the asset and the facts and circumstances. As a consequence of adopting HKFRS 9, Hualong County Ruiqida‘s trade and other receivables amounting to RMB16,498,000 as at 1 January 2018 was reclassified from ‘‘loans and receivables’’ as ‘‘amortised cost financial assets’’. Applying ECL model does not result in further provision for ECL as the settlement of these receivables is regulated by the Central Government of the PRC, and periodic payments have been received with no history of default in the past. As such, the Directors consider that the ECL in renewable energy subsidies receivables as at 1 January 2018 is immaterial.

As at 1 January 2018, the Company’s amounts due from intermediate holding company, amounts due from fellow subsidiaries and cash and cash equivalents were reclassified from the original classification of ‘‘Loan and receivables’’ under HKAS 39 to the new classification of ‘‘Amortised cost’’ under HKFRS 9. As at 1 January 2018, the directors consider that there is no material difference between the previous carrying amounts and that under new classification.

HKFRS 15 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers

HKFRS 15 is effective for the accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2018. HKFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for recognising revenue and some costs from contracts with customers. HKFRS 15 replaces HKAS 18, Revenue, which covered revenue arising from sale of goods and rendering of services, and HKAS 11, Construction Contracts, which specified the accounting for construction contracts, and related interpretations.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF HUALONG COUNTY RUIQIDA

APPENDIX II-D

Hualong County Ruiqida has adopted HKFRS 15 using cumulative effect method without practical expedients. Hualong County Ruiqida has recognised the cumulative effect of initially applying HKFRS 15 as an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated losses at the date of initial application (that is, 1 January 2018).

Hualong County Ruiqida sells electricity to the power grid company. Revenue from sales of electricity is recognised over time when the electricity generated and transmitted is simultaneously received and consumed by the power grid companies. Hualong County Ruiqida has elected the practical expedient to recognise revenue in the amount to which Hualong County Ruiqida has a right to invoice as the amount represents and corresponds directly with the value of performance completed and transferred to the power grid company. Hualong County Ruiqida has no unsatisfied performance obligations at each reporting date. In the opinion of the Directors, the adoption of HKFRS 15 did not result in significant impact on Hualong County Ruiqida‘s accounting policies on revenue.

HKFRS 16 — Lease

HKFRS 16 is effective for the accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The adoption of HKFRS 16 primarily affects Hualong County Ruiqida‘s accounting as a lessee of leases which are classified as operating leases under HKAS 17, Leases. Upon the adoption of HKFRS 16, at the lease commencement date, Hualong County Ruiqida as a lessee recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, except for shortterm leases with a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The application of HKFRS 16 has impact on the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as well as the recognition of depreciation charges of right-of-use assets and the interest expense on lease liabilities.

Hualong County Ruiqida has applied HKFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach with a date of initial application of 1 January 2019, under which the cumulative effect of initial application is recognised as at 1 January 2019. As a result, the comparative information presented in 2018 has not been restated and continues to be reported under HKAS 17, as permitted under the simplified transition approach in the standard. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from HKFRS 16 are therefore recognised in the opening balances on 1 January 2019. In the opinion of our Directors, the adoption of HKFRS 16 resulted in reclassification of Hualong County Ruiqida‘s ‘‘Lease prepayments’’ as ‘‘Right-of-use assets’’ and did not have significant impact on Hualong County Ruiqida‘s net assets and net profits when compared with those that would have been presented under HKAS 17.

4. REVENUE

Revenue represents income from sales of electricity (including renewable energy subsidies). During the years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and the five months ended 31 May 2020 and 2021, unaudited sales of electricity includes renewable energy subsidies amounting to RMB4,240,000, RMB11,780,000, RMB12,357,000, RMB5,501,636 and RMB5,391,000 respectively.

5. INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Pursuant to CaiShui 2008 No. 46 Notice on the Execution of the Catalogue of Public Infrastructure Projects Entitled for Preferential Tax Treatment* (財政部、國家稅務總局關於執行公共基礎設施項目企業所得稅優惠目錄 有關問題的通知), Hualong County Ruiqida has been approved to entitle a tax holiday of a 3-year full exemption followed by a 3-year 50% exemption commencing from their respective years in which their first operating income is derived.

Hualong County Ruiqida‘s trade receivables are mainly receivables from sales of electricity. Generally, the receivables are due within 30 to 180 days from the date of billing, except for the renewable energy subsidy.

Renewable energy subsidy receivables represent PRC government subsidies on solar power plants to be received from the State Grid Company based on the respective electricity sale and purchase agreements for each of the solar power plants and the prevailing nationwide government policies. As at 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and 31 May 2021, the outstanding renewable energy subsidy amounted to RMB6,853,000, RMB20,041,000, RMB34,004,000 and RMB41,100,000 respectively.

– II-D-13 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF HUALONG COUNTY RUIQIDA

APPENDIX II-D

Expected loss rate of these renewable energy subsidy receivables are assessed to be low, because the debtor is state-owned and have good repayment history. In addition, the directors of the Hualong County Ruiqida are confident that the renewable energy subsidy receivables are fully recoverable but only subject to timing of allocation of funds from the PRC government. Accordingly, the credit risk regarding trade receivables of tariff income is limited.

REPORT ON REVIEW OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF HUANGHAU ZHENGYANG NEW ENERGY LIMITED

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF KONG SUN HOLDINGS LIMITED

Introduction

We have reviewed the financial information of Huanghua Zhengyang New Energy Limited (‘‘Huanghua Zhengyang’’) and its subsidiaries (together the ‘‘Disposal Group’’) set out on pages II-E-3 to II-E-14 which comprises the consolidated statements of financial position as at 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and 31 May 2021 and the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statements of cash flows and the consolidated statements of changes in equity for each of the years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and for the five months ended 31 May 2020 and 2021 and explanatory notes (the ‘‘Financial Information’’). The Financial Information has been prepared solely for the purpose of inclusion in the circular to be issued by Kong Sun Holdings Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) in connection with the proposed disposal of entire share of Huanghua Zhengyang in accordance with paragraph 14.68(2)(a)(i)(A) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ‘‘Listing Rules’’).

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Financial Information of Huanghua Zhengyang in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 2 to the Financial Information and paragraph 14.68(2)(a)(i) of the Listing Rules. The directors are also responsible for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Financial Information does not contain sufficient information to constitute a complete set of financial statements as defined in Hong Kong Accounting Standard 1 (Revised) ‘‘Presentation of Financial Statements’’ or an interim financial report as defined in Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 ‘‘Interim Financial Reporting’’ issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (‘‘HKICPA’’). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this Financial Information based on our review. This report is made solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 ‘‘Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity’’ and with reference to Practice Note 750 ‘‘Review of Financial Information under the Hong Kong Listing Rules for a Very Substantial Disposal’’ issued by the HKICPA. A review of the financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of

persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Financial Information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 2 to the Financial Information.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF HUANGHUA ZHENGYANG

APPENDIX II-E

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Huanghua Zhengyang is a limited liability company incorporated in PRC. The principal activity of Huanghua Zhengyang is operation of a solar power plant.

On 10 July 2021, the Vendor, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Purchaser and Huanghua Zhengyang entered into the agreement (the ‘‘Fifth agreement’’), pursuant to which the Vendor agreed to sell, and the Purchaser agreed to acquire, the entire equity interest in Huanghua Zhengyang at a total consideration of approximately RMB241,476,000 (the ‘‘Fifth Disposal’’). Upon completion of the Fifth Disposal, Huanghua Zhengyang will cease to be the subsidiary of the Company.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Unaudited Financial Information of, Huanghua Zhengyang for the years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and for the five months ended 31 May 2020 and 2021 has been prepared in accordance with paragraph 14.68(2)(a)(i) of the Listing Rules, and solely for the purposes of inclusion in this circular issued by the Company in connection with the Fifth Disposal.

The Unaudited Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies as those adopted by the Group in preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for those respective year, which conform with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (‘‘HKFRSs’’) (which include all HKFRSs, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (‘‘HKASs’’) and Interpretations) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (‘‘HKICPA’’) and accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong. The Unaudited Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost convention. The Unaudited Financial Information is presented in RMB and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (RMB’000) except when otherwise indicated.

The Unaudited Financial Information does not contain sufficient information to constitute a complete set of financial statements as defined in HKAS 1 (Revised) ‘‘Presentation of Financial Statements’’ nor a set of condensed financial statements as defined in HKAS 34 ‘‘Interim Financial Reporting’’ issued by the HKICPA and that it should be read in conjunction with the relevant published annual reports of the Company.

3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The HKICPA has issued a number of new or revised HKFRSs which are relevant to the Group and became effective during the respective year. The impact of these new or revised HKFRSs in respective year is summarised as follows:

HKFRS 9 — Financial Instruments

HKFRS 9 is effective for the accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2018. HKFRS 9 replaces HKAS 39, Financial instruments: recognition and measurement (‘‘HKAS 39’’). It sets out the requirements for recognising and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and some contracts to buy or sell non-financial items. The new impairment model in HKFRS 9 replaces the ‘‘incurred loss’’ model in HKAS 39 with an expected credit loss (‘‘ECL’’) model. Under the ECL model, it will no longer be necessary for a loss event to occur before an impairment loss is recognised. Instead, an entity is required to recognise and measure either a 12-month ECL or a lifetime ECL, depending on the asset and the facts and circumstances. As a consequence of adopting HKFRS 9, Huanghua Zhengyang’s trade and other receivables amounting to RMB43,850,000 as at 1 January 2018 was reclassified from ‘‘loans and receivables’’ as ‘‘amortised cost financial assets’’. Applying ECL model does not result in further provision for ECL as the settlement of these receivables is regulated by the Central Government of the PRC, and periodic payments have been received with no history of default in the past. As such, the Directors consider that the ECL in renewable energy subsidies receivables as at 1 January 2018 is immaterial.

– II-E-9 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF HUANGHUA ZHENGYANG

APPENDIX II-E

As at 1 January 2018, the Company’s amounts due from intermediate holding company, amounts due from fellow subsidiaries and cash and cash equivalents were reclassified from the original classification of ‘‘Loan and receivables’’ under HKAS 39 to the new classification of ‘‘Amortised cost’’ under HKFRS 9. As at 1 January 2018, the directors consider that there is no material difference between the previous carrying amounts and that under new classification.

HKFRS 15 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers

HKFRS 15 is effective for the accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2018. HKFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for recognising revenue and some costs from contracts with customers. HKFRS 15 replaces HKAS 18, Revenue, which covered revenue arising from sale of goods and rendering of services, and HKAS 11, Construction Contracts, which specified the accounting for construction contracts, and related interpretations.

Huanghua Zhengyang has adopted HKFRS 15 using cumulative effect method without practical expedients. Huanghua Zhengyang has recognised the cumulative effect of initially applying HKFRS 15 as an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated losses at the date of initial application (that is, 1 January 2018).

Huanghua Zhengyang sells electricity to the power grid company. Revenue from sales of electricity is recognised over time when the electricity generated and transmitted is simultaneously received and consumed by the power grid companies. Huanghua Zhengyang has elected the practical expedient to recognise revenue in the amount to which Huanghua Zhengyang has a right to invoice as the amount represents and corresponds directly with the value of performance completed and transferred to the power grid company. Huanghua Zhengyang has no unsatisfied performance obligations at each reporting date. In the opinion of the Directors, the adoption of HKFRS 15 did not result in significant impact on Huanghua Zhengyang’s accounting policies on revenue.

HKFRS 16 — Lease

HKFRS 16 is effective for the accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The adoption of HKFRS 16 primarily affects Huanghua Zhengyang’s accounting as a lessee of leases which are classified as operating leases under HKAS 17, Leases. Upon the adoption of HKFRS 16, at the lease commencement date, Huanghua Zhengyang as a lessee recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, except for short-term leases with a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The application of HKFRS 16 has impact on the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as well as the recognition of depreciation charges of right-of-use assets and the interest expense on lease liabilities.

Huanghua Zhengyang has applied HKFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach with a date of initial application of 1 January 2019, under which the cumulative effect of initial application is recognised as at 1 January 2019. As a result, the comparative information presented in 2018 has not been restated and continues to be reported under HKAS 17, as permitted under the simplified transition approach in the standard. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from HKFRS 16 are therefore recognised in the opening balances on 1 January 2019. In the opinion of our Directors, the adoption of HKFRS 16 resulted in reclassification of Huanghua Zhengyang’s ‘‘Lease prepayments’’ as ‘‘Right-of-use assets’’ and did not have significant impact on Huanghua Zhengyang’s net assets and net profits when compared with those that would have been presented under HKAS 17.

4. REVENUE

Revenue represents income from sales of electricity (including renewable energy subsidies). During the years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and the five months ended 31 May 2020 and 2021, unaudited sales of electricity includes renewable energy subsidies amounting to RMB20,816,000, RMB21,908,000, RMB21,185,000, RMB9,336,000 and RMB9,021,000 respectively.

5. INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Huanghua Zhengyang’s trade receivables are mainly receivables from sales of electricity. Generally, the receivables are due within 30 to 180 days from the date of billing, except for the renewable energy subsidy.

Renewable energy subsidy receivables represent PRC government subsidies on solar power plants to be received from the State Grid Company based on the respective electricity sale and purchase agreements for each of the solar power plants and the prevailing nationwide government policies. As at 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and 31 May 2021, the outstanding renewable energy subsidy amounted to RMB35,738,000, RMB60,658,000, RMB84,638,000 and RMB94,832,000 respectively.

Expected loss rate of these renewable energy subsidy receivables are assessed to be low, because the debtor is state-owned and have good repayment history. In addition, the directors of the Huanghua Zhengyang are confident that the renewable energy subsidy receivables are fully recoverable but only subject to timing of allocation of funds from the PRC government. Accordingly, the credit risk regarding trade receivables of tariff income is limited.

REPORT ON REVIEW OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF JIAYUGUAN XIEHE NEW ENERGY CO. LTD.

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF KONG SUN HOLDINGS LIMITED

Introduction

We have reviewed the financial information of Jiayuguan Xiehe New Energy Co. Ltd. (‘‘Jiayuguan Xiehe’’) set out on pages II-F-3 to II-F-14 which comprises the statements of financial position as at 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and 31 May 2021 and the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statements of cash flows and the statements of changes in equity for each of the years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and for the five months ended 31 May 2020 and 2021 and explanatory notes (the ‘‘Financial Information’’). The Financial Information has been prepared solely for the purpose of inclusion in the circular to be issued by Kong Sun Holdings Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) in connection with the proposed disposal of entire share of Jiangshan Yongchen in accordance with paragraph 14.68(2)(a)(i)(A) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ‘‘Listing Rules’’).

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Financial Information of Jiayuguan Xiehe in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 2 to the Financial Information and paragraph 14.68(2)(a)(i) of the Listing Rules. The directors are also responsible for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Financial Information does not contain sufficient information to constitute a complete set of financial statements as defined in Hong Kong Accounting Standard 1 (Revised) ‘‘Presentation of Financial Statements’’ or an interim financial report as defined in Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 ‘‘Interim Financial Reporting’’ issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (‘‘HKICPA’’). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this Financial Information based on our review. This report is made solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 ‘‘Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity’’ and with reference to Practice Note 750 ‘‘Review of Financial Information under the Hong Kong Listing Rules for a Very Substantial Disposal’’ issued by the HKICPA. A review of the financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of

persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Financial Information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 2 to the Financial Information.

Set out below is the unaudited financial information of Jiayuguan Xiehe which comprises the unaudited statements of financial position of Jiayuguan Xiehe as at 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and 31 May 2021 and the unaudited statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, unaudited statements of cash flows and unaudited statements of changes in equity for the years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and for the five months ended 31 May 2020 and 2021 and certain explanatory notes (altogether referred to as ‘‘Unaudited Financial Information’’).

The Unaudited Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with paragraph 14.68(2)(a)(i) of the Listing Rules and the basis of preparation as set out in note 2 to the Unaudited Financial Information.

The Unaudited Financial Information is prepared by the Directors solely for the purpose of inclusion in this circular in connection with the proposed disposal of the entire equity interest in the Jiayuguan Xiehe. The Company’s auditor, BDO Limited, has reviewed the Unaudited Financial Information of Jiayuguan Xiehe in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 ‘‘Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity’’ and with reference to Practice Note 750 ‘‘Review of Financial Information under the Hong Kong Listing Rules for a Very Substantial Disposal’’ issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable the Company’s auditor to obtain assurance that the Company’s auditor would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, the Company’s auditor does not express an audit opinion. The Company’s auditor has issued an unmodified review report.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF JIAYUGUAN XIEHE

APPENDIX II-F

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Jiayuguan Xiehe is a limited liability company incorporated in PRC. The principal activity of Jiayuguan Xiehe is operation of a solar power plant.

On 10 July 2021, the Vendor, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Purchaser and Jiayuguan Xiehe entered into the agreement (the ‘‘Sixth Agreement’’), pursuant to which the Vendor agreed to sell, and the Purchaser agreed to acquire, the entire equity interest in Jiayuguan Xiehe at a total consideration of approximately RMB279,849,000 (the ‘‘Sixth Disposal’’). Upon completion of the Sixth Disposal, Jiayuguan Xiehe will cease to be the subsidiary of the Company.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Unaudited Financial Information of, Jiayuguan Xiehe for the years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and for the five months ended 31 May 2020 and 2021 has been prepared in accordance with paragraph 14.68(2)(a)(i) of the Listing Rules, and solely for the purposes of inclusion in this circular issued by the Company in connection with the Sixth Disposal.

The Unaudited Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies as those adopted by the Group in preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for those respective year, which conform with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (‘‘HKFRSs’’) (which include all HKFRSs, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (‘‘HKASs’’) and Interpretations) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (‘‘HKICPA’’) and accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong. The Unaudited Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost convention. The Unaudited Financial Information is presented in RMB and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (RMB’000) except when otherwise indicated.

The Unaudited Financial Information does not contain sufficient information to constitute a complete set of financial statements as defined in HKAS 1 (Revised) ‘‘Presentation of Financial Statements’’ nor a set of condensed financial statements as defined in HKAS 34 ‘‘Interim Financial Reporting’’ issued by the HKICPA and that it should be read in conjunction with the relevant published annual reports of the Company.

3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The HKICPA has issued a number of new or revised HKFRSs which are relevant to the Group and became effective during the respective year. The impact of these new or revised HKFRSs in respective year is summarised as follows:

HKFRS 9 — Financial Instruments

HKFRS 9 is effective for the accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2018. HKFRS 9 replaces HKAS 39, Financial instruments: recognition and measurement (‘‘HKAS 39’’). It sets out the requirements for recognising and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and some contracts to buy or sell non-financial items. The new impairment model in HKFRS 9 replaces the ‘‘incurred loss’’ model in HKAS 39 with an expected credit loss (‘‘ECL’’) model. Under the ECL model, it will no longer be necessary for a loss event to occur before an impairment loss is recognised. Instead, an entity is required to recognise and measure either a 12-month ECL or a lifetime ECL, depending on the asset and the facts and circumstances. As a consequence of adopting HKFRS 9, Jiayuguan Xiehe’s trade and other receivables amounting to RMB18,457,000 as at 1 January 2018 was reclassified from ‘‘loans and receivables’’ as ‘‘amortised cost financial assets’’. Applying ECL model does not result in further provision for ECL as the settlement of these receivables is regulated by the Central Government of the PRC, and periodic payments have been received with no history of default in the past. As such, the Directors consider that the ECL in renewable energy subsidies receivables as at 1 January 2018 is immaterial.

– II-F-9 –

APPENDIX II-F

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF JIAYUGUAN XIEHE

As at 1 January 2018, the Company’s amounts due from intermediate holding company and cash and cash equivalents were reclassified from the original classification of ‘‘Loan and receivables’’ under HKAS 39 to the new classification of ‘‘Amortised cost’’ under HKFRS 9. As at 1 January 2018, the directors consider that there is no material difference between the previous carrying amounts and that under new classification.

HKFRS 15 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers

HKFRS 15 is effective for the accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2018. HKFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for recognising revenue and some costs from contracts with customers. HKFRS 15 replaces HKAS 18, Revenue, which covered revenue arising from sale of goods and rendering of services, and HKAS 11, Construction Contracts, which specified the accounting for construction contracts, and related interpretations.

Jiayuguan Xiehe has adopted HKFRS 15 using cumulative effect method without practical expedients. Jiayuguan Xiehe has recognised the cumulative effect of initially applying HKFRS 15 as an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated losses at the date of initial application (that is, 1 January 2018).

Jiayuguan Xiehe sells electricity to the power grid company. Revenue from sales of electricity is recognised over time when the electricity generated and transmitted is simultaneously received and consumed by the power grid companies. Jiayuguan Xiehe has elected the practical expedient to recognise revenue in the amount to which Jiayuguan Xiehe has a right to invoice as the amount represents and corresponds directly with the value of performance completed and transferred to the power grid company. Jiayuguan Xiehe has no unsatisfied performance obligations at each reporting date. In the opinion of the Directors, the adoption of HKFRS 15 did not result in significant impact on Jiayuguan Xiehe’s accounting policies on revenue.

4. REVENUE

Revenue represents income from sales of electricity (including renewable energy subsidies). During the years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and the five months ended 31 May 2020 and 2021, unaudited sales of electricity includes renewable energy subsidies amounting to RMB11,335,000, RMB36,777,000, RMB39,779,000, RMB16,997,000 and RMB17,572,000 respectively.

5. INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Pursuant to CaiShui 2008 No. 46 Notice on the Execution of the Catalogue of Public Infrastructure Projects Entitled for Preferential Tax Treatment* (財政部、國家稅務總局關於執行公共基礎設施項目企業所得稅優惠目錄 有關問題的通知), Jiayuguan Xiehe has been approved to entitle a tax holiday of a 3-year full exemption followed by a 3-year 50% exemption commencing from their respective years in which their first operating income is derived.

Jiayuguan Xiehe’s trade receivables are mainly receivables from sales of electricity. Generally, the receivables are due within 30 to 180 days from the date of billing, except for the renewable energy subsidy.

Renewable energy subsidy receivables represent PRC government subsidies on solar power plants to be received from the State Grid Company based on the respective electricity sale and purchase agreements for each of the solar power plants and the prevailing nationwide government policies. As at 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and 31 May 2021, the outstanding renewable energy subsidy amounted to RMB14,677,000, RMB56,516,000, RMB101,466,000 and RMB121,323,000 respectively.

– II-F-12 –

APPENDIX II-F

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF JIAYUGUAN XIEHE

Expected loss rate of these renewable energy subsidy receivables are assessed to be low, because the debtor is state-owned and have good repayment history. In addition, the directors of the Jiayuguan Xiehe are confident that the renewable energy subsidy receivables are fully recoverable but only subject to timing of allocation of funds from the PRC government. Accordingly, the credit risk regarding trade receivables of tariff income is limited.

REPORT ON REVIEW OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF LINTAN TIANLANG NEW ENERGY TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF KONG SUN HOLDINGS LIMITED

Introduction

We have reviewed the financial information of Lintan Tianlang New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (‘‘Lintan Tianlang’’) set out on pages II-G-3 to II-G-15 which comprises the statements of financial position as at 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and 31 May 2021 and the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statements of cash flows and the statements of changes in equity for each of the years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and for the five months ended 31 May 2020 and 2021 and explanatory notes (the ‘‘Financial Information’’). The Financial Information has been prepared solely for the purpose of inclusion in the circular to be issued by Kong Sun Holdings Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) in connection with the proposed disposal of entire share of Lintan Tianlang (the ‘‘Circular’’) in accordance with paragraph 14.68(2)(a)(i)(A) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ‘‘Listing Rules’’).

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Financial Information of Lintan Tianlang in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 2 to the Financial Information and paragraph 14.68(2)(a)(i) of the Listing Rules. The directors are also responsible for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Financial Information does not contain sufficient information to constitute a complete set of financial statements as defined in Hong Kong Accounting Standard 1 (Revised) ‘‘Presentation of Financial Statements’’ or an interim financial report as defined in Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 ‘‘Interim Financial Reporting’’ issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (‘‘HKICPA’’). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this Financial Information based on our review. This report is made solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 ‘‘Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity’’ and with reference to Practice Note 750 ‘‘Review of Financial Information under the Hong Kong Listing Rules for a Very Substantial Disposal’’ issued by the HKICPA. A review of the financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other

– II-G-1 –

review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Financial Information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 2 to the Financial Information.

Emphasis of Matter — Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw attention to note 2 to the Financial Information of Lintan Tianlang, which indicates that Lintan Tianlang has incurred a loss of RMB808,000 and RMB1,289,000 for the year ended 31 December 2020 and five months ended 31 May 2021 respectively and had net liabilities of RMB14,365,000 as at 31 May 2021. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about Lintan Tianlang’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Unaudited Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with paragraph 14.68(2)(a)(i) of the Listing Rules and the basis of preparation as set out in note 2 to the Unaudited Financial Information.

The Unaudited Financial Information is prepared by the Directors solely for the purpose of inclusion in this circular in connection with the proposed disposal of the entire equity interest in Lintan Tianlang.

APPENDIX II-G

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF LINTAN TIANLANG

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Lintan Tianlang is a limited liability company incorporated in PRC. The principal activity of Lintan Tianlang is operation of a solar power plant.

On 10 July 2021, the Vendor, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Purchaser and Lintan Tianlang entered into the agreement (the ‘‘Seventh Agreement’’), pursuant to which the Vendor agreed to sell, and the Purchaser agreed to acquire, the entire equity interest in Lintan Tianlang at a total consideration of approximately RMB137,712,000 (the ‘‘Seventh Disposal’’). Upon completion of the Seventh Disposal, Lintan Tianlang will cease to be the subsidiary of the Company.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Unaudited Financial Information of, Lintan Tianlang for the years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and the five months ended 31 May 2020 and 2021 has been prepared in accordance with paragraph 14.68(2)(a)(i) of the Listing Rules, and solely for the purposes of inclusion in this circular issued by the Company in connection with the Seventh Disposal.

The Unaudited Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies as those adopted by the Group in preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for those respective year, which conform with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (‘‘HKFRSs’’) (which include all HKFRSs, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (‘‘HKASs’’) and Interpretations) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (‘‘HKICPA’’) and accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong. The Unaudited Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost convention. The Unaudited Financial Information is presented in RMB and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (RMB’000) except when otherwise indicated.

The Unaudited Financial Information does not contain sufficient information to constitute a complete set of financial statements as defined in HKAS 1 (Revised) ‘‘Presentation of Financial Statements’’ nor a set of condensed financial statements as defined in HKAS 34 ‘‘Interim Financial Reporting’’ issued by the HKICPA and that it should be read in conjunction with the relevant published annual reports of the Company.

The Unaudited Financial Information of Lintan Tianlang has been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes the realisation of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business notwithstanding Lintan Tianlang has incurred a loss of RMB808,000 and RMB1,289,000 for the year ended 31 December 2020 and five months ended 31 May 2021 respectively and had net liabilities of RMB14,365,000 as at 31 May 2021. These conditions indicate the existence of a material certainty which may cast significant doubt on Lintan Tianlang’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore Lintan Tianlang may not be able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Nevertheless, the directors of the Company are of the opinion that Lintan Tianlang will have sufficient cash resources to satisfy its future working capital and other financing requirements in the next twelve months from 31 May 2021 after taking into account the followings:

  • (i) the cash flow projection of Lintan Tianlang for the next twelve months from 31 May 2021, the directors of the Company are of the opinion that Lintan Tianlang is able to generate positive cash flows from its operation. In preparing the cash flow projection by the directors of Lintan Tianlang, it was assumed that proceeds of renewable energy subsidy receivables in respect of sale of electricity will be received with reference to prevalent payment trend after successfully enlisted in the renewable energy tariff subsidy catalogue;

  • (ii) the intermediate holding company (Kong Sun Yongtai’’) and fellow subsidiaries of Lintan Tianlang has confirmed not to demand repayment of debt due from Lintan Tianlang until such time when the repayment will not affect Lintan Tianlang’s ability to repay other creditors in the normal course of business for twelve months after 31 May 2021 or up to the completion date of the Seventh Disposal, whichever is earlier;

– II-G-9 –

APPENDIX II-G

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF LINTAN TIANLANG

  • (iii) As set out in note 9 to the Unaudited Financial Information, Kong Sun Yongtai will settle the loans and borrowings of RMB180,000,000 as at 31 May 2021 after the completion of the Seventh Disposal;

  • (iv) Kong Sun Yongtai has confirmed to provide continuing financial support to Lintan Tianlang so as to enable Lintan Tianlang to meet its liabilities and obligations as and when they fall due and to continue its business for twelve months after 31 May 2021 or up to the completion date of the Seventh Disposal, whichever is earlier; and

  • (v) the Purchaser has agreed, conditionally upon the completion of the Seventh Disposal to provide continuing financial support to Lintan Tianlang so as to enable Lintan Tianlang to meet its liabilities and obligations as and when they fall due and to continue its business after the completion of the Seventh Disposal.

Should Lintan Tianlang be unable to continue in business as a going concern, adjustments would have to be made in the financial information to write down the values of the assets to their net realisable amounts, to provide for any further liabilities which might arise, and to reclassify non-current assets and non-current liabilities as current assets and current liabilities respectively. The effect of such adjustments has not yet been reflected in the financial statements.

3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The HKICPA has issued a number of new or revised HKFRSs which are relevant to the Group and became effective during the respective year. The impact of these new or revised HKFRSs in respective year is summarised as follows:

HKFRS 9 — Financial Instruments

HKFRS 9 is effective for the accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2018. HKFRS 9 replaces HKAS 39, Financial instruments: recognition and measurement (‘‘HKAS 39’’). It sets out the requirements for recognising and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and some contracts to buy or sell non-financial items. The new impairment model in HKFRS 9 replaces the ‘‘incurred loss’’ model in HKAS 39 with an expected credit loss (‘‘ECL’’) model. Under the ECL model, it will no longer be necessary for a loss event to occur before an impairment loss is recognised. Instead, an entity is required to recognise and measure either a 12-month ECL or a lifetime ECL, depending on the asset and the facts and circumstances. As a consequence of adopting HKFRS 9, Lintan Tianlang‘s trade other receivables amounting to RMB12,659,000 as at 1 January 2018 was reclassified from ‘‘loans and receivables’’ as ‘‘amortised cost financial assets’’. Applying ECL model does not result in further provision for ECL as the settlement of these receivables is regulated by the Central Government of the PRC, and periodic payments have been received with no history of default in the past. As such, the Directors consider that the ECL in renewable energy subsidies receivables as at 1 January 2018 is immaterial.

As at 1 January 2018, the Company’s amounts due from immediate holding company and cash and cash equivalents were reclassified from the original classification of ‘‘Loan and receivables’’ under HKAS 39 to the new classification of ‘‘Amortised cost’’ under HKFRS 9. As at 1 January 2018, the directors consider that there is no material difference between the previous carrying amounts and that under new classification.

HKFRS 15 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers

HKFRS 15 is effective for the accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2018. HKFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for recognising revenue and some costs from contracts with customers. HKFRS 15 replaces HKAS 18, Revenue, which covered revenue arising from sale of goods and rendering of services, and HKAS 11, Construction Contracts, which specified the accounting for construction contracts, and related interpretations.

Lintan Tianlang has adopted HKFRS 15 using cumulative effect method without practical expedients. Lintan Tianlang has recognised the cumulative effect of initially applying HKFRS 15 as an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated losses at the date of initial application (that is, 1 January 2018).

– II-G-10 –

APPENDIX II-G

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF LINTAN TIANLANG

Lintan Tianlang sells electricity to the power grid company. Revenue from sales of electricity is recognised over time when the electricity generated and transmitted is simultaneously received and consumed by the power grid companies. Lintan Tianlang has elected the practical expedient to recognise revenue in the amount to which Lintan Tianlang has a right to invoice as the amount represents and corresponds directly with the value of performance completed and transferred to the power grid company. Lintan Tianlang has no unsatisfied performance obligations at each reporting date. In the opinion of the Directors, the adoption of HKFRS 15 did not result in significant impact on Lintan Tianlang‘s accounting policies on revenue.

HKFRS 16 — Lease

HKFRS 16 is effective for the accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The adoption of HKFRS 16 primarily affects the Lintan Tianlang‘s accounting as a lessee of leases which are classified as operating leases under HKAS 17, Leases. Upon the adoption of HKFRS 16, at the lease commencement date, Lintan Tianlang as a lessee recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, except for short-term leases with a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The application of HKFRS 16 has impact on the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as well as the recognition of depreciation charges of right-of-use assets and the interest expense on lease liabilities.

Lintan Tianlang has applied HKFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach with a date of initial application of 1 January 2019, under which the cumulative effect of initial application is recognised as at 1 January 2019. As a result, the comparative information presented in 2019 and 2018 has not been restated and continues to be reported under HKAS 17, as permitted under the simplified transition approach in the standard. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from HKFRS 16 are therefore recognised in the opening balances on 1 January 2019. In the opinion of our Directors, the adoption of HKFRS 16 resulted in reclassification of Lintan Tianlang’s ‘‘Lease prepayments’’ as ‘‘Right-of-use assets’’ and did not have significant impact on Lintan Tianlang‘s net assets and net profits when compared with those that would have been presented under HKAS 17.

4. REVENUE

Revenue represents income from sales of electricity (including renewable energy subsidies).

In addition, the directors of the Lintan Tianlang are confident that the renewable energy subsidy receivables are fully recoverable but only subject to timing of allocation of funds from the PRC government. Accordingly, the credit risk regarding trade receivables of tariff income is limited.

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX IV

7. VALUATION APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY

In carrying out this valuation exercise, the following approaches and methodologies have been considered:

Cost Approach — The cost approach provides an indication of value using the economic principal that a buyer will pay no more for an asset than the cost to obtain an asset of equal utility, whether by purchase or by construction. This approach is based on the principle that the price that a buyer in the market would pay for the asset being valued would, unless undue time, inconvenience, risk or other factors are involved, be not more than the cost to purchase or construct an equivalent asset. Often the asset being valued will be less attractive than the alternative that could be purchased or constructed because of age or obsolescence. Where this is the case, adjustments may need to be made to the cost of the alternative asset depending on the required basis of value.

The cost approach cannot normally be applied to the valuation of a business or business interest except in the case of early stage or start-up businesses where profits and/ or cash flow cannot be reliably determined and adequate market information is available on the entity’s assets.

Unlike market and income approaches which either incorporate market sentiments or future earnings capacity of an asset as a function to determine its current value, cost approach considers the fundamental cost it takes to form the asset. In our opinion this approach is inapplicable to the current analysis as there is no convincing association of the values of the subject business interests with their costs.

Income Approach — The income approach provides an indication of value by converting future cash flows to a single current capital value. This approach considers the income that an asset will generate over its useful life and indicates value through a capitalisation process. Capitalisation involves the conversion of income into a capital sum through the application of an appropriate discount rate. The income stream may be derived under a contract or contracts, or be non-contractual, for example the anticipated profit generated from either the use of or holding of the asset.

Enterprise value is typically derived through the capitalisation of profits or cash flows through the application of a capitalisation rate or discount rate before debt servicing costs. The capitalisation or discount rate applied is the weighted average cost of capital of an appropriate mix of debt and equity. The market value of the interest bearing debt is deducted from the enterprise value to determine the overall equity value. Redundant, ie non-operating, assets need to be considered when calculating enterprise or equity value.

This approach is not preferred in this exercise because there are relevant market comparables to the subject business interests and reliable projections of the amounts and timing of future income streams are not available for the subject business interests as at the Valuation Date.

APPENDIX IV

Market Approach — The market approach provides an indication of value by comparing the subject asset with identical or similar assets for which price information is available. Under this approach the first step is to consider the prices for transactions of identical or similar assets that have occurred recently in the market. If few recent transactions have occurred, it may also be appropriate to consider the prices of identical or similar assets that are listed or offered for sale provided the relevance of this information is clearly established and critically analysed. It may be necessary to adjust the price information from other transactions to reflect any differences in the terms of the actual transaction and the basis of value and any assumptions to be adopted in the valuation being undertaken. There may also be differences in the legal, economic or physical characteristics of the assets in other transactions and the asset being valued.

The market approach compares the subject business to similar businesses, business ownership interests and securities that have been exchanged in the market and any relevant transactions of shares in the same business. Prior transactions or offers for any component of the business may be also indicative of value.

In this valuation exercise, the values of the subject business interests were developed through the application of the market approach techniques known as guideline transactions method and guideline publicly-traded comparable method. The guideline transaction method utilizes information on transactions involving assets that are the same or similar to the subject asset to arrive at an indication of value, whereas the guideline publicly-traded method utilizes information on publicly-traded comparables that are similar to the subject asset to arrive at an indication of value. The guideline transactions method and guideline publicly-traded method require the proper selection of valuation metrics/comparable evidence and calculation of the selected valuation metrics of comparable transactions and companies to derive the values of the subject business interests.

Under guideline transactions method, the valuation metrics adopted are price-to-book ratio (‘‘PB Ratio’’) and price-to-earnings ratio (‘‘PE Ratio’’) and the final result is the average of values calculated by PB Ratio and PE Ratio. Both PB Ratio and PE Ratio were adopted under guideline transactions method because both the asset and earnings sides of transactions were considered and the final result gives a more balanced and comprehensive indication of value.

Under guideline publicly-traded method, the valuation metrics adopted are PB Ratio and enterprise value-to-earnings before interest and taxes ratio (‘‘EV/EBIT Ratio’’) and the final result is the average of values calculated by PB Ratio and EV/EBIT Ratio. Both PB Ratio and EV/EBIT Ratio were adopted under guideline publicly-traded method because both the asset and earnings sides of publicly-traded comparables were considered and the final result gives a more balanced and comprehensive indication of value.

Valuation Metrics for Guideline Publicly-Traded Method

  1. The valuation metrics adopted for guideline publicly-traded method are PB Ratio and EV/EBIT Ratio.

  2. Market capitalization of comparable companies as at 30 April 2021 was taken as numerator in calculating the PB Ratio of comparable companies.

  3. Latest equity attributable to equity holders of comparable companies was taken as denominator in calculating the PB Ratio of comparable companies.

  4. The median PB Ratio of comparable companies was calculated to be 1.09.

  5. Enterprise value of comparable companies as at 30 April 2021 was taken as numerator in calculating the EV/EBIT Ratio of comparable companies.

  6. Latest earnings before interest and taxes of comparable companies was taken as denominator in calculating the EV/EBIT Ratio of comparable companies.

  7. The median EV/EBIT Ratio of comparable companies was calculated to be 20.59.

Control Premium

Control Premiums are applied to reflect differences between the comparables and the subject asset with regard to the ability to make decisions and the changes that can be made as a result of exercising control. All else being equal, participants would generally prefer to have a control over an asset than not. Circumstances where control premiums should be considered include where shares of public companies generally do not have the ability to make decisions related to the operations of the company (they lack control). As such, when applying the guideline public comparable method to value a subject asset that reflects a controlling interest, a control premium may be appropriate.

Since the Equity Interests of the Project Companies are controlling interests whereas shares of the comparable listed companies are minority interests, a control premium has been applied to reflect the difference of the ability to make decisions as a result of exercising control. According to Navigating Valuations in the World of COVID-19 compiled by PwC China, there has been a gradual decline in value and count in global merger and acquisition quarterly activity since second quarter of 2018 with a significant drop in first quarter of 2020 in both volume and deal value. Average control premiums have followed a similar trend with a drop to around 10% in first quarter of 2020 versus an average premium of around 20% in 2018 and 2019. However, with the introduction of COVID-19 vaccines, the control premium is expected to be reverted to the normal. A control premium of 20% has been applied in this valuation exercise.

APPENDIX IV

Discount for Lack of Marketability

According to the IRS DLOM Job Aid, marketability is defined as ‘‘the ability to quickly convert property to cash at minimal cost... with a high degree of certainty of realizing the anticipated amount of proceeds’’ and a discount for lack of marketability (‘‘DLOM’’) is defined as ‘‘an amount or percentage deducted from the value of an ownership interest to reflect the relative absence of marketability’’. It is expected that a higher price will be paid by investors for business interest with high marketability and a lesser price will be paid by investors for business interest with low marketability.

In this valuation exercise, a DLOM has been applied to reflect that Project Companies are private companies, hence having lower marketability than the comparable listed companies. With reference to the 2020 Edition of the Stout Restricted Stock Study Companion Guide, the Stout Restrict Stock Study have examined 759 private placement transactions of unregistered common stock, with and without registration rights, issued by publicly traded companies from July 1980 through December 2019. Except for the Third Project Company, a DLOM of 40% has been adopted in this valuation exercise, which is with reference to 43.15% median discount for the 5[th] quintile of these 759 transactions. The median discount in the 5[th] quintile has been with reference to because the median market value of transactions in the 5[th] quintile is US$62 million, which is comparable or higher than the Equitable Values of the Project Companies, except for the Third Project Company. Since the Third Project Company has the highest Equitable Value and book value of equity amongst the Project Companies, a lower DLOM of 20% has been adopted for the Third Project Company.

Values Estimated by Guideline Publicly-Traded Method

  1. Values of the Project Companies under the guideline publicly-traded method were calculated by taking the average of values calculated using PB Ratio and EV/EBIT Ratio, then adjusting for the control premium and DLOM.

  2. The value of the 100% equity interest in the First Project Company under guideline publicly-traded method was calculated to be RMB33,554,000.

  3. The value of the 100% equity interest in the Second Project Company under guideline publicly-traded method was calculated to be RMB57,520,000.

  4. The value of the 100% equity interest in the Third Project Company under guideline publicly-traded method was calculated to be RMB587,079,000.

  5. The value of the 100% equity interest in the Fourth Project Company under guideline publicly-traded method was calculated to be RMB100,602,000.

11. WEIGHTING FACTOR

  1. An equal weighting factor, viz 50/50, has been given to the guideline transactions method and guideline publicly-traded method. An equal weighting factor will give a more balanced result considering the pros and cons of both methods.

  2. The final result is calculated by taking the average of values calculated under guideline transactions method and guideline publicly-traded method.

12. VALUATION COMMENTS

As part of the analysis, the information and documents provided by the Management, the financial and business information from public sources with such available financial information, client representation, project documentation and other pertinent data concerning the Equity Interests have been reviewed. The accuracy of such information have been assumed and relied on to a considerable extent in arriving at the opinion of values.

Relevant searches and enquiries have been made and such further information as considered necessary has been obtained for the purpose of this valuation exercise.

The opinion of values is based on accepted valuation procedures and practices that rely substantially on the use of numerous assumptions and the consideration of many uncertainties, not all of which can be easily quantified or ascertained. Further, while the assumptions and consideration of such matters are regarded to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of Kong Sun, the Project Companies and Valor. No assurance is provided on the achievability of any financial results estimated by Kong Sun and/or the Project Companies because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected; differences between actual and expected results may be material; and achievement of the financial results is dependent on actions, plans and assumptions of the management. In addition, the other limiting and general service conditions are attached in Appendix I.

13. RISK FACTORS

The recent outbreak of coronavirus disease worldwide may result in the slowdown of economy

The recent outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (‘‘COVID-19’’) since December 2019 has increased uncertainties to the global economy. If the development of COVID-19 persists or intensifies, the global economy may be adversely affected. In such event, the resultant unfavourable global economic conditions, dampened market sentiment and decreased purchasing power of the global economy could adversely impact business operations and financial performances of the Project Companies.

Economic, political and social considerations

Any unfavourable global and regional economic condition such as the trade war between the United States and its key trading partners like China and the decision by the United Kingdom to exit the European Union, may have a detrimental impact on the businesses of the Project Companies. Due to the uncertainties in economic situation, there is no guarantee that the expected financial performance will materialize. Any changes in global political, economic and social conditions, laws, regulations and policies may have significant impacts on the projections of the future incomes of the Project Companies. In view of the current situation, the possibility of trade protectionism cannot be ruled out. None of these changes can be foreseen with certainty.

Technological changes

Any change in the technological developments and advancements may have significant impacts on the future financial results of the Project Companies. To remain competitive in the industry, the Project Companies may be required to make substantial capital expenditures to keep up with technological changes.

Company specific risk

The operation of the Project Companies may perform better or worse than the expectation, and the resulting earnings and cash flows will be very different from the estimates. The possibility of severe operational incidence, whether it is exogenous or endogenous, cannot be precluded.
