LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS AND BENEFITS FOR THE DISPOSALS

The Directors consider that it is a good opportunity for the Group to realise its investment in the Project Companies so as to better allocate the Group’s resources, optimise its operation model, enhance the efficiency of equipment in solar power plants and accelerate its pace in transforming to asset-light model. The Directors have considered various alternative financing methods, including but not limited to finance leasing, offshore debt financing, and other ways of equity financing such as placing. The Company has already carried out various finance lease transactions in recent years and will continue to explore new opportunities as they arise. In respect of offshore debt financing, the Directors do not consider it a desirable option under the prevailing high interest rate environment. Nor is equity financing a feasible option due to the low prevailing trading prices of the Shares. In light of the above, the Directors consider that the Disposals would be the only viable fund raising option currently available to the Company to address its funding needs.

Upon completion of the Disposals, the Company will continue to have seven completed solar power plants with a total installed capacity of 170 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 of 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 Group will continue the strategies on the operation of solar power plants, optimise asset allocation efficiency and step up to improve the efficiency of the equipment at the power stations, continue to develop its green finance and inclusive finance business, meanwhile accelerate its transformation into new businesses in other energy and health sectors, increase the proportion of asset-light and high-tech businesses, so as to maximise the return of the assets and value for the Shareholders.

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

— 35 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As regards the Guarantees and the Debts, the continuation of the Guarantees and the Debts was agreed after an arm’s length negotiation between the parties to the relevant Disposal Agreements and was one of the key commercial terms for the Purchaser to agree to the transactions contemplated under the relevant Disposal Agreements. In view of the financial stress that the Group is encountering, the Directors consider that the Disposals with the continuation of the Guarantees and the Debts are still the best available options under the circumstances for the Group to cut losses and streamline its operation at an appropriate timing after identifying the Purchaser. The Guarantees would also facilitate the obtaining of the relevant lenders’ consent to the Disposals. Based on the past experience of Group in respect of similar disposals, under normal circumstances, the purchasers were usually able to procure the release of the guarantees within 90 days after completion of the transfer. Therefore, the Directors consider that the length of a 90-day period granted to the Purchaser for procuring the release of the Guarantees is not unreasonable. In the worst case scenario where the Purchaser fails to procure the release of any of the Guarantees or repay the Debts within the agreed period, the relevant Vendor will still have recourse to the remedies as set out in the section headed “The Disposals” above. In this regard, the Board had also carried out due diligence review of the Purchaser’s financial position by asking for its key financial information in the past three financial years, including total assets, net assets and profits before and after tax, and was satisfied that in the event that the Purchaser failed to procure the release of the Guarantees within the agreed period, it would have the financial means to compensate the Group. On the above basis, the Directors are of the view that the continuation of the Guarantees and the Debts for a short period of time after the completion of the Disposals is on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders.

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.

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSALS AND INTENDED USE OF PROCEEDS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, each of the Project Companies is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon completion of the Disposals, the Project Companies will cease to be subsidiaries of the Company and the results of the Project Companies will cease to be consolidated in the results of the Group.

Upon completion of the Disposals, the unaudited total assets and the total liabilities of the Group will be decreased by approximately RMB691,374,000 and RMB557,237,000, respectively.

— 36 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Subject to final audit, it is expected that the Group will realise a net loss on the Disposals of not more than approximately RMB114,000,000, which is calculated by reference to the difference between (i) the total consideration for the Disposals of approximately RMB758,028,000, and (ii) the total net asset value of the Project Companies and goodwill of approximately RMB869,776,000 and RMB547,000, respectively as at 30 April 2023 and the related transaction costs, taxes and expenses of the Disposals of approximately RMB1,500,000. Despite the net loss on the Disposals, having taking into consideration 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.

The net proceeds from the Disposals, being the aggregate of the total consideration of approximately RMB758,028,000 and the total Debts receivable from the relevant Project Companies of approximately RMB741,502,000, minus the taxation and transaction costs of approximately RMB1,500,000, are estimated to be approximately RMB1,498,000,000. The Group intends to apply the net proceeds from the Disposals to repay its existing indebtedness. The Company expects that (i) RMB600,000,000 will be utilised by the end of 2023; (ii) RMB500,000,000 will be utilised within 2024; and (iii) the remaining net proceeds will be utilised within 2025, on the assumption that the proceeds will be received in full in accordance with the relevant Disposal Agreements. Even if the Group could not receive the proceeds for the Disposals in full by the end of 2023, the Group will repay the aforesaid RMB600 million indebtedness in 2023 with (i) the aggregate amount of net proceeds which the Group expects to receive within 25 business days after completion of the Disposals, which is estimated to be approximately RMB614,138,000 (being the aggregate amount of proceeds of approximately RMB615,638,000 which the Group expects to receive within one (1) month after completion of the Disposals pursuant to the Disposal Agreements, minus the taxation and transaction costs of approximately RMB1,500,000). As to the balance of the proceeds, it is expected that (i) approximately RMB53,260,000 will be received within around 6 months after completion of the Disposals subject to completion of the relevant rectification works and (in respect of the Fourth Disposal and the Fifth Disposal) handover of the Deliverable Items; and (ii) approximately RMB830,632,000 will be received subject to the inclusion of the relevant project into the list of projects qualified for state renewable energy subsidies as published by the relevant PRC authority and/or receipt of the Subsidies Receivable.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF KONG SUN HOLDINGS LIMITED

Introduction

We have reviewed the unaudited financial information of Dingbian Wanheshun New Energy Power Generation Limited (“ Dingbian Wanheshun ”) set out on pages II-A-3 to II-A-15 which comprises the statements of financial position as at 31 December 2020, 2021 and 2022 and 31 May 2023 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 2020, 2021 and 2022 and for the five months ended 31 May 2022 and 2023 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 Dingbian Wanheshun 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 Dingbian Wanheshun 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 Dingbian Wanheshun, which indicates that Dingbian Wanheshun had net current liabilities of RMB164,090,000 as at 31 May 2023. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about Dingbian Wanheshun’s ability to continue as a going concern.

APPENDIX II-A

Set out below is the unaudited financial information of Dingbian Wanheshun which comprises the unaudited statements of financial position of Dingbian Wanheshun as at 31 December 2020, 2021 and 2022 and 31 May 2023 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 2020, 2021 and 2022 and for the five months ended 31 May 2022 and 2023 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 Dingbian Wanheshun.

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 THE FIRST PROJECT COMPANY

APPENDIX II-A

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

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

On 11 August 2023, the Vendor, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Purchaser and Dingbian Wanheshun 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 Dingbian Wanheshun for a total consideration of approximately RMB607,000 (the “ First Disposal ”). Upon completion of the First Disposal, Dingbian Wanheshun will cease to be the subsidiary of the Company.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Unaudited Financial Information of Dingbian Wanheshun for the years ended 31 December 2020, 2021 and 2022 and for the five months ended 31 May 2022 and 2023 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 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 Dingbian Wanheshun 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 Dingbian Wanheshun had net current liabilities of RMB164,090,000 as at 31 May 2023. These conditions indicate the existence of a material certainty which may cast significant doubt on Dingbian Wangheshun’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore Dingbian Wangheshun 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 Dingbian Wangheshun will have sufficient cash resources to satisfy its future working capital and other financing requirements in the next twelve months from 31 May 2023 after taking into account the followings:

  • (i) the cash flow projection of Dingbian Wanheshun for the next twelve months from the reporting date, the directors are of the opinion that Dingbian Wanheshun is able to generate positive cash flows from its operation. In preparing the cash flow projection by the directors of Dingbian Wanheshun, 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, intermediate holding company and fellow subsidiaries of Dingbian Wanheshun has confirmed not to demand repayment of debt due from Dingbian Wanheshun until such time when the repayment will not affect Dingbian Wanheshun’s ability to repay other creditors in the normal course of business for twelve months after 31 May 2023 or up to the completion date of the First Disposal, whichever is earlier;

— II-A-10 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FIRST PROJECT COMPANY

APPENDIX II-A

  • (iii) The Company has confirmed to provide continuing financial support to Dingbian Wanheshun so as to enable Dingbian Wanheshun to meet its liabilities and obligations as and when they fall due and to continue its business for twelve months after 31 May 2023 or up to the completion date of the First Disposal, whichever is earlier; and

  • (iv) The Purchaser has agreed, conditionally upon the completion of the First Disposal to provide continuing financial support to Dingbian Wanheshun so as to enable Dingbian Wanheshun to meet its liabilities and obligations as and when they fall due and to continue its business after the completion of the First Disposal.

Should Dingbian Wanheshun 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. REVENUE

Revenue represents income from sales of electricity (including renewable energy subsidies). During the years ended 31 December 2020, 2021 and 2022 and the five months ended 31 May 2022 and 2023, unaudited sales of electricity includes renewable energy subsidies amounting to RMB18,456,000, RMB18,547,000, RMB12,856,000, RMB2,197,000 and RMB6,403,000 respectively.

4. INCOME TAX (EXPENSE)/CREDIT

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), Dingbian Wanheshun 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.

Pursuant to CaiShui 2020 No.23 Announcement of the Ministry of Finance, the State Taxation Administration and the National Development and Reform Commission on Continuing the Enterprise Income Tax Policies for Western Development Strategies, Dingbian Wanheshun was entitled to the preferential tax policy of the western development and was subject to the preferential enterprise income tax of 15%.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FIRST PROJECT COMPANY

APPENDIX II-A

Dingbian Wanheshun’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 2020, 2021 and 2022 and 31 May 2023, the outstanding renewable energy subsidy amounted to RMB100,738,000, RMB125,696,000, RMB140,224,000 and RMB147,460,000 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 Dingbian Wanheshun 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.

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF KONG SUN HOLDINGS LIMITED

Introduction

We have reviewed the unaudited financial information of Huangshi Huangyuan Photovoltaic Power Development Limited (“ Huangshi Huangyuan ”) set out on pages II-B-3 to II-B-15 which comprises the statements of financial position as at 31 December 2020, 2021 and 2022 and 31 May 2023 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 2020, 2021 and 2022 and for the five months ended 31 May 2022 and 2023 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 Huangshi Huangyuan 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 Huangshi Huangyuan 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 Huangshi Huangyuan, which indicates that Huangshi Huangyuan had net current liabilities of RMB42,902,000 as at 31 May 2023. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about Huangshi Huangyuan’s ability to continue as a going concern.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE SECOND PROJECT COMPANY

APPENDIX II-B

Set out below is the unaudited financial information of Huangshi Huangyuan which comprises the unaudited statements of financial position of Huangshi Huangyuan as at 31 December 2020, 2021 and 2022 and 31 May 2023 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 2020, 2021 and 2022 and for the five months ended 31 May 2022 and 2023 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 Huangshi Huangyuan.

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 THE SECOND PROJECT COMPANY

APPENDIX II-B

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

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

On 11 August 2023, the Vendor, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Purchaser and Huangshi Huangyuan 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 Huangshi Huangyuan at a total consideration of approximately RMB40,529,000 (the “ Second Disposal ”). Upon completion of the Second Disposal, Huangshi Huangyuan will cease to be the subsidiary of the Company.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Unaudited Financial Information of Huangshi Huangyuan for the years ended 31 December 2020, 2021 and 2022 and for the five months ended 31 May 2022 and 2023 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 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 Huangshi Huangyuan 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 Huangshi Huangyuan had net current liabilities of RMB42,902,000 as at 31 May 2023. This condition indicates the existence of a material certainty which may cast significant doubt on Dingbian Wangheshun’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore Dingbian Wangheshun 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 Dingbian Wangheshun will have sufficient cash resources to satisfy its future working capital and other financing requirements in the next twelve months from 31 May 2023 after taking into account the followings:

  • (i) the cash flow projection of Huangshi Huangyuan for the next twelve months from the reporting date, the directors are of the opinion that Huangshi Huangyuan is able to generate positive cash flows from its operation. In preparing the cash flow projection by the directors of Huangshi Huangyuan, 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, intermediate holding company and fellow subsidiaries of Huangshi Huangyuan has confirmed not to demand repayment of debt due from Huangshi Huangyuan until such time when the repayment will not affect Huangshi Huangyuan’s ability to repay other creditors in the normal course of business for twelve months after 31 May 2023 or up to the completion date of the Second Disposal, whichever is earlier;

— II-B-10 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE SECOND PROJECT COMPANY

APPENDIX II-B

  • (iii) The Company has confirmed to provide continuing financial support to Huangshi Huangyuan so as to enable Huangshi Huangyuan to meet its liabilities and obligations as and when they fall due and to continue its business for twelve months after 31 May 2023 or up to the completion date of the Second Disposal, whichever is earlier; and

  • (iv) The Purchaser has agreed, conditionally upon the completion of the Second Disposal to provide continuing financial support to Huangshi Huangyuan so as to enable Huangshi Huangyuan to meet its liabilities and obligations as and when they fall due and to continue its business after the completion of the Second Disposal.

Should Huangshi Huangyuan 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. REVENUE

Revenue represents income from sales of electricity (including renewable energy subsidies). During the years ended 31 December 2020, 2021 and 2022 and the five months ended 31 May 2022 and 2023, unaudited sales of electricity includes renewable energy subsidies amounting to RMB14,648,000, RMB17,688,000, RMB14,933,000, RMB4,947,000 and RMB5,953,000 respectively.

4. 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), Huangshi Huangyuan 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.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE SECOND PROJECT COMPANY

APPENDIX II-B

Huangshi Huangyuan’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 2020, 2021 and 2022 and 31 May 2023, the outstanding renewable energy subsidy amounted to RMB57,040,000, RMB74,241,000, RMB90,286,000 and RMB96,638,000 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 Huangshi Huangyuan 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 THE THIRD PROJECT COMPANY

REPORT ON REVIEW OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF YULIN ZHENGXIN ELECTRICITY LIMITED (“YULIN ZHENGXIN”)

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF KONG SUN HOLDINGS LIMITED

Introduction

We have reviewed the unaudited financial information of Yulin Zhengxin Electricity Limited (“ Yulin Zhengxin ”) set out on pages II-C-3 to II-C-15 which comprises the statements of financial position as at 31 December 2020, 2021 and 2022 and 31 May 2023 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 2020, 2021 and 2022 and for the five months ended 31 May 2022 and 2023 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 Yulin Zhengxin 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 Yulin Zhengxin 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.

APPENDIX II-C

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE THIRD PROJECT COMPANY

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 Yulin Zhengxin, which indicates that Yulin Zhengxin had net current liabilities of RMB60,832,000 as at 31 May 2023. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about Yulin Zhengxin’s ability to continue as a going concern.

APPENDIX II-C

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE THIRD PROJECT COMPANY

Set out below is the unaudited financial information of Yulin Zhengxin which comprises the unaudited statements of financial position of Yulin Zhengxin as at 31 December 2020, 2021 and 2022 and 31 May 2023 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 2020, 2021 and 2022 and for the five months ended 31 May 2022 and 2023 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 Yulin Zhengxin. The Company’s auditor, BDO Limited, has reviewed the Unaudited Financial Information of Yulin Zhengxin 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 THE THIRD PROJECT COMPANY

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

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

On 11 August 2023, the Vendor, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Purchaser and Yulin Zhengxin 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 Yulin Zhengxin at a total consideration of approximately RMB52,858,000 (the “ Third Disposal ”). Upon completion of the Third Disposal, Yulin Zhengxin will cease to be the subsidiary of the Company.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Unaudited Financial Information of Yulin Zhengxin for the years ended 31 December 2020, 2021 and 2022 and for the five months ended 31 May 2022 and 2023 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 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 Yulin Zhengxin 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 Yulin Zhengxin had net current liabilities of RMB60,832,000 as at 31 May 2023. This condition indicates the existence of a material certainty which may cast significant doubt on Yulin Zhengxin’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore Yulin Zhengxin 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 Yulin Zhengxin will have sufficient cash resources to satisfy its future working capital and other financing requirements in the next twelve months from 31 May 2023 after taking into account the followings:

  • (i) the cash flow projection of Yulin Zhengxin for the next twelve months from the reporting date, the directors are of the opinion that Yulin Zhengxin is able to generate positive cash flows from its operation. In preparing the cash flow projection by the directors of Yulin Zhengxin, 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 and intermediate holding company of Yulin Zhengxin has confirmed not to demand repayment of debt due from Yulin Zhengxin until such time when the repayment will not affect Yulin Zhengxin’s ability to repay other creditors in the normal course of business for twelve months after 31 May 2023 or up to the completion date of the Third Disposal, whichever is earlier;

— II-C-10 —

APPENDIX II-C

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE THIRD PROJECT COMPANY

  • (iii) The Company has confirmed to provide continuing financial support to Yulin Zhengxin so as to enable Yulin Zhengxin to meet its liabilities and obligations as and when they fall due and to continue its business for twelve months after 31 May 2023 or up to the completion date of the Third Disposal, whichever is earlier; and

  • (iv) The Purchaser has agreed, conditionally upon the completion of the Third Disposal to provide continuing financial support to Yulin Zhengxin so as to enable Yulin Zhengxin 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 Yulin Zhengxin 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. REVENUE

Revenue represents income from sales of electricity (including renewable energy subsidies). During the years ended 31 December 2020, 2021 and 2022 and the five months ended 31 May 2022 and 2023, unaudited sales of electricity includes renewable energy subsidies amounting to RMB22,340,000, RMB18,334,000, RMB17,499,000, RMB7,682,000 and RMB7,464,000 respectively.

4. 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), Yulin Zhengxin 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.

Pursuant to CaiShui 2020 No.23 Announcement of the Ministry of Finance, the State Taxation Administration and the National Development and Reform Commission on Continuing the Enterprise Income Tax Policies for Western Development Strategies, Yulin Zhengxin was entitled to the preferential tax policy of the western development and was subject to the preferential enterprise income tax of 15%.

APPENDIX II-C

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE THIRD PROJECT COMPANY

Yulin Zhengxin’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 2020, 2021 and 2022 and 31 May 2023, the outstanding renewable energy subsidy amounted to RMB89,913,000, RMB100,249,000, RMB111,365,000 and RMB119,800,000 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 Yulin Zhengxin 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.

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 THE FOURTH PROJECT COMPANY

APPENDIX II-D

Set out below is the unaudited financial information of Shengzhou Yihui which comprises the unaudited statements of financial position of Shengzhou Yihui as at 31 December 2020, 2021 and 2022 and 31 May 2023 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 2020, 2021 and 2022 and for the five months ended 31 May 2022 and 2023 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 Shengzhou Yihui. The Company’s auditor, BDO Limited, has reviewed the Unaudited Financial Information of Shengzhou Yihui 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 THE FOURTH PROJECT COMPANY

APPENDIX II-D

Shengzhou Yihui’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 2020, 2021 and 2022 and 31 May 2023, the outstanding renewable energy subsidy amounted to RMB66,681,000, RMB78,288,000, RMB30,453,000 and RMB27,069,000 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 Shengzhou Yihui 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 DINGBIAN JINGYANG ELECTRICITY COMPANY LIMITED (“DINGBIAN JINGYANG”)

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF KONG SUN HOLDINGS LIMITED

Introduction

We have reviewed the unaudited financial information of Dingbian Jingyang Electricity Company Limited (“ Dingbian Jingyang ”) set out on pages II-E-3 to II-E-13 which comprises the statements of financial position as at 31 December 2020, 2021 and 2022 and 31 May 2023 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 2020, 2021 and 2022 and for the five months ended 31 May 2022 and 2023 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 Dingbian Jingyang 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 Dingbian Jingyang 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.

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.

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 THE FIFTH PROJECT COMPANY

APPENDIX II-E

Dingbian Jingyang’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 2020, 2021 and 2022 and 31 May 2023, the outstanding renewable energy subsidy amounted to RMB105,844,000, RMB126,756,000, RMB136,842,000 and RMB146,032,000 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 Dingbian Jingyang 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.

7. AMOUNTS DUE FROM/TO INTERMEDIATE HOLDING COMPANY/IMMEDIATE HOLDING COMPANY/FELLOW SUBSIDIARIES

Amounts due from/to intermediate holding company/immediate holding company/fellow subsidiaries are interest-free, unsecured and repayable on demand.

REPORT ON REVIEW OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF DINGBIAN COUNTY ZHIXINDA NEW ENERGY LIMITED (“DINGBIAN COUNTY ZHIXINDA”)

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF KONG SUN HOLDINGS LIMITED

Introduction

We have reviewed the unaudited financial information of Dingbian County Zhixinda New Energy Limited (“ Dingbian County Zhixinda ”) set out on pages II-F-3 to II-F-14 which comprises the statements of financial position as at 31 December 2020, 2021 and 2022 and 31 May 2023 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 2020, 2021 and 2022 and for the five months ended 31 May 2022 and 2023 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 Dingbian County Zhixinda 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 Dingbian County Zhixinda 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.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE SIXTH PROJECT COMPANY

APPENDIX II-F

Set out below is the unaudited financial information of Dingbian County Zhixinda which comprises the unaudited statements of financial position of Dingbian County Zhixinda as at 31 December 2020, 2021 and 2022 and 31 May 2023 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 2020, 2021 and 2022 and for the five months ended 31 May 2022 and 2023 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 Dingbian County Zhixinda. The Company’s auditor, BDO Limited, has reviewed the Unaudited Financial Information of Dingbian Country Zhixinda 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 THE SIXTH PROJECT COMPANY

APPENDIX II-F

Dingbian County Zhixinda’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 2020, 2021 and 2022 and 31 May 2023, the outstanding renewable energy subsidy amounted to RMB97,788,000, RMB116,326,000, RMB51,939,000 and RMB56,861,000 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 Dingbian County Zhixinda 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.

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.

— IV-5 —

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX IV

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.

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.

— IV-6 —

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX IV

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 is price-to-book ratio (“ PB Ratio ”). Only PB Ratio was adopted under guideline transactions method because not all the Project Companies are profitable in 2022 and price-to-earnings ratio which is another common valuation metrics is not applicable.

Under guideline publicly-traded method, the valuation metrics adopted is PB Ratio. Only PB Ratio was adopted under guideline publicly-traded method because not all the Project Companies have positive earnings before interest and taxes in 2022 and enterprise value-to-earnings before interest and taxes ratio which is another common valuation metrics is not applicable.

8. KEY ASSUMPTIONS

Key Assumptions

The assumptions considered having significant sensitivity effects in this valuation have been evaluated in arriving at the assessed values with key assumptions listed as follows:

  • there will be no material change in the existing political, legal, technological, fiscal or economic conditions which might adversely affect the economy in general and the operations of the Project Companies;

  • there will be no major changes in the current taxation laws in the PRC;

  • there will be no material fluctuation of the finance costs and availability of finance in the PRC;

  • The Project Companies will fulfil all legal and regulatory requirements for the principal operations;

  • the development of the subject business interests will not be constrained by the availability of finance and there will be no material fluctuation of the finance costs;

— IV-7 —

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX IV

  • there will not be any adverse events beyond the control of the management of the Project Companies, including natural disasters, catastrophes, fire, explosion, flooding, riots, acts of terrorism, epidemics and pandemics that may adversely affect the operations of the subject business interests;

  • the future movement of exchange rates and interest rates will not differ materially from prevailing market rates;

  • The Project Companies will retain competent management, key personnel and technical staff for its operation and the relevant shareholders will support its ongoing operation; and

  • For the majority of comparable transactions, the considerations were paid in instalments, subject to various conditions. These conditions for consideration payments are assumed to be normal market conditions which have already been factored in the considerations/prices of the comparable transactions.

9. GUIDELINE TRANSACTIONS METHOD

Comparable Transactions

Since the subject entities are principally engaged in operations of solar power plants in the PRC, with a view to selecting appropriate comparable transactions, we focus on those transactions of solar power plants which are located in the PRC and are in operation (instead of in development and construction).

Selection criteria of comparable transactions are listed as follows:

  1. Solar power plant transactions undertaken by listed companies in Hong Kong and the PRC;

  2. Transactions of solar power plants which are located in the PRC and are in operation (instead of in development and construction) with known/deduced installed capacity;

  3. Connected transactions and sale and leaseback transactions are excluded; and

  4. The announcement dates of transactions are within the period from 1 May 2021 to 30 April 2023.

Valuation Metrics for Guideline Publicly-Traded Method

  1. The valuation metrics adopted for guideline publicly-traded method is PB Ratio.

  2. Market capitalization of comparable companies as at 28 April 2023 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 average PB Ratio of comparable companies was calculated to be 0.85.

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 the PwC China Report, 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. According to the WHO Report, by May 2023, the number of weekly reported deaths is at its lowest since the COVID-19 pandemic began, and in most countries, life has returned to “normal”. In view of the above, the control premium is expected to be reverted to the normal and a control premium of 20% has been applied in this valuation exercise, taking account of 24.6% overall median equity control premium in the Control Premium Study and approximately 19% median equity control premium of the utilities sector in the Business Valuation Update.

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 2021 Edition of the Stout Restricted Stock Study Companion Guide, the Stout Restrict Stock Study have examined 763 private placement transactions of unregistered common stock, with and without registration rights, issued by publicly traded companies from July 1980 through December 2020. For the First Project Company, the Second Project Company, the Third Project Company and the Fourth Project Company, a DLOM of 42.9% has been adopted in this valuation exercise, which is with reference to 42.9% median discount for the 5th quintile of these 763 transactions. The median discount in the 5th quintile has been with reference to because the median book value of equity in the 5th quintile is US$6.8 million, which is comparable to the book values of the First Project Company, the Second Project Company, the Third Project Company and the Fourth Project Company. For the Fifth Project Company and the Sixth Project Company, a DLOM of 15.8% has been adopted in this valuation exercise, which is with reference to 15.8% overall median discount of these 763 transactions. A lower DLOM has been adopted for the Fifth Project Company and the Sixth Project Company because the book values of these two Project Companies are much larger than the other four Project Companies.

Values Estimated by Guideline Publicly-Traded Method

  1. Values of the Project Companies under the guideline publicly-traded method were calculated by multiplying the average PB Ratio of comparable companies by the respective net asset values of the Project Companies as at 30 April 2023, then adjusting for the control premium and DLOM.

  2. The value of 100% equity interest in the First Project Company calculated by applying PB Ratio under guideline publicly-traded method is RMB9,482,000.

  3. The value of 100% equity interest in the Second Project Company calculated by applying PB Ratio under guideline publicly-traded method is RMB37,459,000.

  4. The value of 100% equity interest in the Third Project Company calculated by applying PB Ratio under guideline publicly-traded method is RMB42,821,000.

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

Economic, political and social considerations

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. 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.

Inflation

The supply shortage brought about by recent outbreak of COVID-19, pose a significant risk of inflation, which may erode the profitability of the Project Companies.

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.
