LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The consideration has been arrived at after arm’s length negotiation between the parties with reference to (a) the historical financial position and performance of the Target Company; and (b) the projected business synergy between the Company and the Target Company in research, development, production and distribution. Although the consideration for the Acquisition is significantly higher than the net assets of the Target Group as of December 31, 2013(being approximately RMB84.2 million), the Directors consider that the consideration is justifiable for the reasons and benefits as set out in ‘‘Reasons for and Benefits of the Acquisition’’ of this letter. Furthermore, the consideration for the Acquisition is determined by reference to the overall historical financial position and performance of the Target Group instead of the single factor of its net assets value. During negotiation on the consideration, the Directors have taken into account the overall financial position and performance of the Target Group and have in particular considered that the profitability of the Target Group was relatively attractive as based on the Directors’ general knowledge of the medical device business in the PRC, and according to the Accountant’s Report in the Appendix II hereto, the Target Group recorded a profit of RMB65.6 million, RMB74.8 million and RMB91.6 million, and gross profit margin of 87.9%, 91.7% and 92.8% for the three years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013. The consideration for the Acquisition represents approximately 8.7 times of the profit of the Target Group for 2013 (approximately RMB91.6 million) while the market capitalization of our Company as at the Latest Practicable Date (being approximately RMB5,244.4 million or HKD6,555.5 million) represents approximately 37.3 times of the profits of the Company for 2013 (approximately RMB140.7 million, being the unaudited adjusted net profit of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2013 which was derived by excluding non-operational and one-off items comprising share-based compensation expenses and listing-related expenses (net of tax) from the profit for the year).
Mr. JIANG Liwei, the executive Director and chief executive officer of the Company, took lead in studying the feasibility of and negotiating on the terms of the Acquisition, with the full technical support from the Company. Acknowledging that Mr. Jiang has 20 years of management experience in the medical device industry and in view of his management responsibilities within the Company, the Board considered that Mr. Jiang was a suitable figure to take lead in the Acquisition. Apart from Mr. Jiang, the Board consists of other members with considerable experience in medical device industry, such as Ms. Yue’e ZHANG who has worked in the medical device industry for approximately 20 years. Mr. LIN Junshan (chairman of the Board), together with Ms. Yue’e ZHANG, have been involved in the Group’s acquisition of subsidiaries prior to the listing. Mr. FENG Dai, the non-executive director of the Company, is also currently a managing director of Warburg Pincus Asia LLC and possesses experience in mergers and acquisitions. For details of the Board members’ biographies, please refer to the 2013 annual report of the Company. The Board has thoroughly considered the overall circumstances pertaining to the Acquisition, including but not limited to the possible future business synergy and financial position of the Target Company, and has unanimously approved the Acquisition prior to signing the Equity Transfer Agreement. the Directors are of the view that the consideration is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Further market information
The Board has not been able to identify a suitable listed company nor an appropriately comparable private company as there is no public access to the financials of comparable private companies which are engaged in similar business, despite the Board having conducted extensive market research prior to signing the Equity Transfer Agreement.
For the Shareholders’ information, set out below are certain financial parameters of four listed companies engaged in the broader medical device industry which the Board has taken note of, although they are not directly comparable:
| Name | 2013 annual P/E | 2013 annual P/B | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Shandong Weigao Group Medical | 66.6 | 2.9 |
| Polymer Co. Ltd. (1066.HK) | |||
| 2 | Microport Scientific Corporation | 37.0 | 2.3 |
| (853.HK) | |||
| 3 | Shinva Medical Instrument Co Ltd | 55.5 | 6.1 |
| (SH:600587) | |||
| 4 | Lepu Medical Technology (Beijing) Co., | 46.5 | 6.0 |
| Ltd. (SZ:300003) |
the market capitalization of the listed issuer as of the Latest Practicable Date Note 1: P/E = the profit after tax for 2013 of the listed issuer the market capitalization of the listed issuer as of the Latest Practicable Date Note 2: P/B = the net asset value of the listed issuer as of December 31, 2013
Note 3: The figures are subject to round-up and are for illustration purpose only.
The financials above are for the Shareholders’ information only. The Board is of the view that the companies listed above are not directly comparable given that: (1) Shinva Medical Instrument Co Ltd and Lepu Medical Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd are listed on the stock exchange in PRC and would not be directly comparable to us due to the different characteristics between the PRC and Hong Kong capital markets; (2) the above companies are all engaged in the broader medical device industry while the Target Company is focused on research, manufacture and sale of regenerative medical biomaterials and orthopedic implant products; and (3) the Board has in particular, considered the profitability of the Target Company when assessing the reasonableness of the consideration, and is of the view that it is not market practice to give much weight to the P/B ratios when assessing the value of a medical device company, since the profitability of medical device companies is typically driven by, among others, technologies and intellectual property rights which might not necessarily be reflected in the asset value.

Revenue increased by approximately 18.0% from approximately RMB127.9 million in 2012 to approximately RMB150.9 million in 2013 mainly attributable to the increased sales of biomaterial products. Sales of biomaterial products increased from approximately RMB120.6 million in 2012 to approximately RMB144.8 million in 2013 mainly attributable to the increase in the sales amount while the average selling price remained stable. Increase in the sales amount of biomaterials was mainly attributable to the expansion of the distribution network of the Target Company and the growth in the market demand. Increase in the sales of biomaterials was slightly offset by the decrease in the sales of orthopedic implant products from RMB7.3 million in 2012 to approximately RMB6.1 million in 2013.

4. FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITION
Upon completion of the Acquisition, the Target Company will become an indirect whollyowned subsidiary of the Company. The general financial effects of the Acquisition include but are not limited to the following: (1) the operating results of subsidiaries will be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group; (2) identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination will be measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date; and (3) the identified intangible assets with a finite useful live, e.g. trademarks and technology know-how acquired in the business combination will be carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses after initial recognition. The amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost over their estimated useful lives. Further, the cash consideration to be paid for the acquisition may have an impact on the Group’s cash balance or borrowing balance, which may in turn have impacts on the Group’s financial income or finance cost.
The unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group illustrating the financial impacts of the Acquisition on the assets and liabilities of the Group is set out in Appendix III to this circular. The unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group is prepared based on (i) the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group as of December 31, 2013 as set out in Appendix I to this circular; and (ii) the audited consolidated financial information of the Target Group as at December 31, 2013 as set out in Appendix II to this circular.
Effects on Assets and Liabilities
As shown in the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group, the pro forma total assets and pro forma total liabilities of the Enlarged Group upon completion of the Acquisition would amount to approximately RMB2,206.7 million and RMB308.0 million, respectively, as compared to the audited consolidated total assets and total liabilities of the
– 18 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Group amounting to approximately RMB2,129.2 million and RMB230.5 million respectively, as of December 31, 2013 before the Acquisition. This represents an increase of approximately 3.6% in total assets and approximately 33.6% in total liabilities from those set out in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group as of December 31, 2013.
The increase in the pro forma total liabilities of the Enlarged Group is mainly due to increase of deferred income tax liabilities amounting to RMB52.7 million arising from difference between the tax base and fair value of land use rights, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets upon completion of the Acquisition. Such liabilities will be settled gradually with the depreciation of property, plant and equipment and the amortisation of land use rights and intangible assets. There will be no cash outflow when such liabilities are settled. Furthermore, if compared to the pro forma total assets of the Enlarged Group as of December 31, 2013(being approximately RMB2,206.7 million), the Directors consider that the pro forma total liabilities of the Enlarged Group as of the same date (being approximately RMB308.0 million) is consistent with the market average. Based on the above, notwithstanding the increase in the pro form total liabilities by a higher percentage than the increase in the pro forma total assets, the Directors consider that the Acquisition is in the interest of the Company and its shareholders.
For the purpose of the unaudited pro forma financial information, the Directors has conducted impairment assessment on the goodwill and other intangible assets arising from the proposed acquisition in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 36 ‘‘Impairment of Asset’’ and are not aware of any indications that an impairment of the goodwill and other intangible assets is required after considering the nature, prospects, financial condition and business risks of the Enlarged Group. The impairment assessment procedures performed by the director include:
-
(a) identify the cash-generating units
-
(b) review the latest budget of the target group and estimate the future cash inflows and outflows
-
(c) compare past actual outcomes with the projections
-
(d) consider the useful life of the intangibles
-
(e) assess the reasonableness of the assumptions used for the cash flows estimates
-
(f) applying the appropriate discount rate to those future cash flows
-
(g) compare the carrying amount of the cash generating units with the recoverable amount
-
(h) perform sensitivity analysis on principal assumptions

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Company has engaged its reporting accountant, PricewaterhouseCoopers, to report on the pro forma financial information in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3420 ‘‘Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus’’ and the reporting accountant has issued its opinion on the pro forma financial information as set out in Appendix III of this Circular.
Effects on Earnings
As disclosed in the annual results announcement of the Company, its unaudited adjusted net profit of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2013 which was derived by excluding non-operational and one-off items comprising share-based compensation expenses and listing-related expenses (net of tax) from the profit for the year of Company amounted to approximately RMB140.7 million. Based on its audited consolidated financial statements, profit attributable to the owners of the Target Company was approximately RMB91.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Directors are of the view that if the Enlarged Group had been formed as of January 1, 2013, the net profit of the Enlarged Group for the year ended December 31, 2013 would have been significantly higher than the RMB140.7 million achieved by the Group for the same period given that the profit attributable to the owners of the Target Company was approximately RMB91.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.

II. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1 GENERAL INFORMATION AND BASIS OF PREPARATION
1.1 General information
Beijing Tianxinfu Medical Appliance Co., Ltd. (the ‘‘Target Company’’) was incorporated in People’s Republic of China (the ‘‘PRC’’) on 18 January 2002 with limited liability under the Company Law of the PRC, which is owned as to 99% by Ms. YU Lidan and as to 1% by Ms. WANG Lifang. The address of the Target Company’s registered office is No. 30 Torch Street, Science and Technology Park, Changping District, Beijing.
The Target Company and its subsidiary (together, the ‘‘Target Group’’) is principally engaged in the development, manufacturing and sale of regenerative medical biomaterial products and orthopedic products in the PRC.
The Financial Information is presented in Renminbi (‘‘RMB’’), unless otherwise stated.
2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Financial Information are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to the Relevant Periods, unless otherwise stated.
2.1 Basis of preparation
The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (‘‘HKFRSs’’). The Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets.
The preparation of the Financial Information in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise their judgement in the process of applying the Target Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Financial Information are disclosed in Note 4.

The Target Group has assessed the impact of the above new standards and amendments to existing standards and based on the preliminary results of assessment, the Target Group currently does not expect the adoption of these standards and amendments would have a significant impact on its results of operations and financial position.
2.2 Subsidiaries
2.2.1 Consolidation
A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity) over which the Target Group has control. The Target Group controls an entity when the Target Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Target Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
(a) Business combinations
The Target Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Target Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Target Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognised amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
– II-13 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognised in profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Target Group is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognised in accordance with HKAS 39 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognised and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement.
Intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated. When necessary, amounts reported by subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform with the Target Group’s accounting policies.
- (b) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control
Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions — that is, as transactions with the owners of the subsidiary in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying amount of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.
(c) Disposal of subsidiaries
When the Target Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is re-measured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Target Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
2.2.2 Separate financial statements
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment. Cost includes direct attributable costs of investment. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Target Company on the basis of dividend received and receivable.
Impairment testing of the investments in subsidiaries is required upon receiving a dividend from these investments if the dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of the subsidiary in the period the dividend is declared or if the carrying amount of the investment in the separate financial statements exceeds the carrying amount in the consolidated financial statements of the investee’s net assets including goodwill.
2.3 Associates
An associate is an entity over which the Target Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognised at cost,
– II-14 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the investor’s share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. The Target Group’s investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition.
If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.
The Target Group’s share of post-acquisition profit or loss is recognised in the income statement, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment. When the Target Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Target Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
The Target Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired. If this is the case, the Target Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognises the amount adjacent to ‘share of profit of investments accounted for using equity method’ in the income statement.
Profits and losses resulting from upstream and downstream transactions between the Target Group and its associate are recognised in the Target Group’s financial statements only to the extent of unrelated investor’s interests in the associates. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Target Group.
Gain or losses on dilution of equity interest in associates are recognised in the income statement.
2.4 Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the executive director.
2.5 Foreign currency translation
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Target Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The Financial Information are presented in RMB, which is the Target Company’s functional currency and the Target Group’s presentation currency.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the consolidated income statements.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the consolidated income statements within ‘finance income or cost’. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the income statements within ‘other gains — net’.
– II-15 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in foreign currency classified as available-for-sale are analysed between translation differences resulting from changes in the amortised cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. Translation differences related to changes in amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss, and other changes in carrying amount are recognised in other comprehensive income.
Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets, such as equities classified as available for sale, are included in other comprehensive income.
2.6 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation and provision for impairment loss, if any. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the assets’ carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Target Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the consolidated income statements during the Relevant Periods in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
| — | Buildings and facilities | 20 years |
|---|---|---|
| — | Furniture, fittings and equipment | 3–10 years |
| — | Machinery and equipment | 5–10 years |
| — | Motor vehicles | 5 years |
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised within ‘other gains — net’ in the consolidated income statements.
2.7 Land use rights
Land use rights are up-front payments made to use the land. It is stated at cost and charged to the consolidated income statements over the periods of the lease on a straight-line basis, net of any impairment losses.
2.8 Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life — for example, goodwill or intangible assets not ready to use — are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

APPENDIX II
2.9 Financial assets
2.9.1 Classification
The Target Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading and those designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by the directors of the Target Company. Derivatives are also categorized as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if expected to be settled within 12 months; otherwise, they are classified as non-current.
(b) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for the amounts that are settled or expected to be settled more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets. The Target Group’s loans and receivables comprise ‘trade and other receivables’ and ‘cash and cash equivalents’ in the consolidated balance sheets (Note 13 and 14).
(c) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose of it within 12 months of the end of the reporting period.
2.9.2 Recognition and measurement
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade-date — the date on which the Target Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised and subsequently carried at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed and the fair value adjustments are recognised in the consolidated income statements. Available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently carried at fair value with the fair value adjustment recognised in equity. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Changes in the fair value of monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available for sale are recognised in other comprehensive income.
When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in equity are included in the consolidated income statements as ‘other gains — net’.
Interest on available-for-sale securities calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in the consolidated income statements as part of other income. Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognised in the consolidated income statements as part of other income when the Target Group’s right to receive payments is established.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Target Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.
2.10 Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
2.11 Impairment of financial assets
(a) Asset carried at amortised cost
The Target Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation, and where observable data indicates that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
For loans and receivables category, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in the consolidated income statements. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Target Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in the consolidated income statements.
(b) Assets classified as available-for-sale
The Target Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. For debt securities, the Target Group uses the criteria referred to in (a) above. In the case of equity investments classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is also evidence that the assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss — measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss — is removed from equity and recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in the consolidated income statements on equity instruments are not reversed through the consolidated income statements. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available for sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed through the consolidated income statements.

APPENDIX II
2.12 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using weighted average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity). The cost excludes borrowing costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.
2.13 Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection of trade and other receivables is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as noncurrent assets.
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment.
2.14 Cash and cash equivalents
In the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
2.15 Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.16 Current and deferred income tax
The tax expense for the Relevant Periods comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the consolidated income statements, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
(a) Current income tax
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Target Group’s subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
(b) Deferred income tax
Inside basis differences
Deferred income tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition
– II-19 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
of goodwill, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available, against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
Outside basis differences
Deferred income tax liabilities are provided on taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates except for deferred income tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Target Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Generally the Target Group is unable to control the reversal of the temporary difference for associates. Only where there is an agreement in place that gives the Target Group the ability to control the reversal of the temporary difference not recognised.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised on deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates only to the extent that it is probable the temporary difference will reverse in the future and there is sufficient taxable profit available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.
(c) Offsetting
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
2.17 Employee benefits
(a) Pension obligations
The full-time employees of the Target Group in the PRC are covered by various government-sponsored defined contribution pension plans under which the employees are entitled to a monthly pension based on certain formulas. The relevant government agencies are responsible for the pension liability to these retired employees. The Target Group contributes on a monthly basis to these pension plans. Under these plans, the Target Group has no obligation for post-retirement benefits beyond the contributions made. Contributions to these plans are expenses as incurred.
(b) Housing benefits
The Target Group contributes to the state-prescribed housing fund. Such costs are charged to the consolidated income statements as incurred. Apart from those described above, the Target Group does not have other legal or constructive obligations over such benefits.
(c) Bonus entitlements
The expected cost of bonus payments is recognised as a liability when the Target Group has a present contractual or constructive obligation as a result of services rendered by employees and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made.
– II-20 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
2.18 Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised when: the Target Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Target Group. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised because it is not probable that outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably.
A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed in the Target Group’s consolidated financial statements. When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that outflow is probable, it will then be recognised as a provision.
2.19 Revenue recognition
Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods in the ordinary course of the Target Group’s activities. Revenue is shown net of value-added tax, returns, rebates and discounts and after elimination of sales made within the Target Group.
The Target Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Target Group’s activities as described below. The amount of revenue is not considered to be reliably measurable until all contingencies relating to the sale have been resolved. The Target Group bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.
(a) Sales of medical devices and related products
Sales of medical devices and related products are recognised when the risk and reward of the goods has been transferred to the customer, which is usually at the date when a Group entity has delivered products to the customer, the customer has accepted the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products.
(b) Interest income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. When a loan and receivable is impaired, the Target Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loan and receivables is recognised using the original effective interest rate.
2.20 Government grants
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Target Group will comply with all the attached conditions.
– II-21 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in the consolidated income statements over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.
Government grants relating to assets are included in non-current liabilities as deferred income and are credited to the consolidated income statements on a straight-line basis over the expected useful lives of the related assets.
2.21 Operating leases
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the consolidated income statements on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
2.22 Dividend distribution
Dividend distribution to the Target Company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Target Group and the Target Company’s financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Target Company’s shareholders or directors, where appropriate.
2.23 Research and development
Research expenditure is recognised as an expense as incurred. Costs incurred on development projects relating to design and testing of new or improved products are recognised as intangible assets when it is probable that the project will be a success, considering its commercial and technological feasibility, and costs can be measured reliably. Other development expenditures are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period.
3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
3.1 Financial risk factors
The Target Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Target Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Target Group’s financial performance. Risk management is carried out by the senior management of the Target Group and approved by the board of directors.
(a) Market risk
- (i) Foreign exchange risk
The Target Group was not significantly exposed to foreign exchange risk as it mainly operates in the PRC, a majority of the transactions are denominated in RMB, and had no significant assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currency as at 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013.
(ii) Interest rate risk
The Target Group has no significant interest-bearing assets and liabilities except for cash and cash equivalents. Management does not anticipate any significant impact to interest-bearing assets resulted from the changes in interest rates, because the interest rates of bank balances are not expected to change significantly.
– II-22 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
(b) Credit risk
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and available-for-sale financial assets included in the Financial Information represent the Target Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to its financial assets. The objective of the Target Group’s measures to manage credit risk is to control potential exposure to recoverability problem.
The credit risk of bank balances is limited because the counterparty is one of the four largest stateowned commercial banks.
In respect of trade receivable, as prepayment is always required before delivery of goods, trade receivable is considered not significant during the Relevant Periods.
In respect of other receivables, it was mainly advances to employee for various expense incurred in the ordinary course of business, there was no history of default.
Available-for-sale financial assets are short-term investments placed with state-owned financial institution in the PRC. There was no recent history of default and the executive directors of the board of the Target Company are of the opinion that the credit risk related to the investment is low.
(c) Liquidity risk
The Target Group’s policy is to regularly monitor current and expected liquidity requirements and to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash and adequate committed lines of funding from banks and other financial institutions to meet their liquidity requirements in the short and longer term. Management believes there is no significant liquidity risk as the Target Group has sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund their operations.
The contractual maturities of all of the Target Group’s financial liabilities were within 1 year as at 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013.
3.2 Capital risk management
The Target Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Target Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Target Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders.
The Target Group had no borrowings as at 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013.
3.3 Fair value estimation
The table below analyses the Target Group’s financial instruments carried at fair value as at 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013, by level of the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Such inputs are categorised into three levels within a fair value hierarchy as follows:
-
. Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1);
-
. Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2); and
-
. Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).

| RMB’000 | RMB’000 | RMB’000 | |||
| Available-for-sale | financial | assets | 95,059 | 50,047 | 65,674 |
The fair value of available-for-sale financial assets is determined using income capitalisation approach. The valuation was determined using capitalisation of the net income by adopting estimated annual return rate provided by related bank during the Relevant Period. The annual return rate used to estimate the fair value of available-forsale financial assets as at 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013 was 2.12%, 3.80%, and 2.60%. The higher the annual return rate, the higher the fair value.
The fair value calculation of available-for-sale financial assets was prepared by the chief accountant and reviewed by the financial manager at each of the reporting date.
4 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
4.1 Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The Target Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.
(a) Income taxes
Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Target Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such determination is made.
(b) Estimated write-downs of inventories
The Target Group writes down inventories to net realisable value based on an assessment of the realisability of inventories. Write-downs on inventories are recorded where events or changes in circumstances are so that the balances may not be realised. The identification of write-downs requires the use of judgement and estimates. Where the expectation is different from the original estimate, such difference will impact carrying values of inventories and write-downs of inventories in the period in which such estimate has been changed.
(c) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
The Target Group determines the estimated useful lives for its property, plant and equipment based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives of property, plant and equipment of similar nature and functions. The Target Group will revise the depreciation charges where useful lives are different from previously estimated, or it will write off or write down technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold.

5 REVENUE AND SEGMENT INFORMATION
The chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the executive director of the Target Company. The executive director reviews the Target Group’s internal reporting on segment sales and cost of sales in order to assess performance and allocate resources. Management has determined the operating segments based on these reports.
The executive director considers the business from a product perspective, and determines that the Target Group has the following operating segments:
-
Regenerative medical biomaterial business — manufacturing and sale of biomaterial duramax, duragide and artificial nerve; and
-
Orthopedic implant business — manufacturing and sale of orthopedic implant products, including the product category of spine and joints.
The chief operating decision-maker assesses the performance of the operating segments based on the revenue and cost of sales of each segment. Substantially all of the businesses of the Target Group are carried out in the PRC.

(b) Notes to unaudited pro forma statement of assets and liabilities of the Enlarged Group
-
The balances are extracted from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Group as at 31 December 2013 as set out in the Group’s published annual results for the year ended 31 December 2013.
-
The balances are extracted from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Target Group as at 31 December 2013 as set out in Appendix II to this circular.
-
Pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreement, the aggregate consideration for the proposed acquisition is RMB806,250,000 which is assumed to be financed by internal fund of the Company.
Upon the completion of the proposed acquisition, the net identifiable assets of the Target Group will be accounted for in the unaudited pro forma statement of assets and liabilities of the Enlarged Group at their fair values under the acquisition method in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard 3 (Revised) ‘‘Business Combinations’’ (‘‘HKFRS 3 (Revised)’’).
For the purpose of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information and for illustrative purpose only, the Group has carried out an illustrative consideration allocation exercise following the guidance of HKFRS 3 (Revised). The identifiable assets and liabilities of the net identifiable assets are recorded in the unaudited pro forma statement of assets and liabilities of Enlarged Group at their fair values estimated by the directors of the Company with reference to the valuation performed by Jones Lang LaSalle, an independent professional qualified valuer, as at 31 December 2013 for the purpose of purchase price allocation. Income approach has been adopted by Jones Lang LaSalle in performing the valuation of the Target Group’s intangible assets (i.e. Trademark and Technology).
In this exercise, the fair value of the Trademark was developed through the application of the income approach technique known as the relief from royalty method. Using this technique, The royalty income contributed by the Trademark was first estimated. These nominal income streams directly or indirectly derived from such intangible asset are then capitalized at a rate which reflects all business risks including intrinsic and extrinsic uncertainties in relation to the Trademark.
The income approach technique adopted is known as multi-period excess earnings method (‘‘MPEEM’’) to value the Technology. It is a derivative of the discounted cash flow method. Using this technique, the revenues attributed to the Technology are projected. Based on the projected revenues, the costs associated with supporting the business are subtracted. The net income projection is then adjusted by economic capital
– III-3 –
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
APPENDIX III
charges. The capital charges include returns on the assets that are used or used up in the generation of the income projection. Such assets are called contributory assets. Examples of contributory assets include fixed asset, net working capital and assembled workforce.
The principal assumptions used in the valuation are set out as below,
-
. Gross margin 86% to 90%
-
. EBITDA margin 51% to 59%
-
. Net profit margin 41% to 48%
-
. Terminal growth rate for free cash flow 4%, which is referred to China’s long term average CPI growth rate
-
. Royalty rate 2%, which is referred to the average of comparable royalty transaction record acquired from the database: www.royaltysource.com
-
. Nominal annual royalty income for trademark RMB2,916,000 to RMB5,619,000
-
. Nominal annual capital charge for contributory asset RMB13,216,000 to RMB27,224,000
-
. Nominal annual cash flow attributed to technology RMB69,847,000 to RMB111,275,000
-
. Discount rate 17.2% to 18.2% which are calculated using Weighted Average Cost of Capital (‘‘WACC’’). WACC is the weighted average of the estimated rate of return required by equity and debt holders for an investment of this type.
For the purpose of the valuation by Jones Lang LaSalle, income approach is considered the most appropriate valuation method among the three ordinary valuation methods, namely, the income approach, the market approach and the cost approach. The income approach is commonly used for valuation of intangible assets, it takes into consideration the numerous empirical and theoretical justifications for the present value of expected future cash flows that allows the prospective valuation of future profits from the intangible asset. The market approach, on the contrary, requires market transactions of comparable assets as an indication of the value but no such comparable market transaction can be identified. Moreover, cost approach is not adopted as such approach does not directly account for the economic benefits contributed by the intangible assets.

The recognition of the goodwill of approximately RMB419,522,000 which represents the excess of the consideration for the Acquisitions over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Target Group is set out below. The goodwill is associated with a highly skilled workforce, established reputation of the Target Group and synergies derived from the Group and the Target Group.
Details of the net identifiable assets of the Target Group and the calculation of goodwill are as follows:
| Land use rights Property, plant and equipment Intangible assets (Note a) Deferred income tax assets Inventories Trade and other receivables Available-for-sale financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other payables Current income tax liabilities Deferred income tax liabilities (Note b) Net identifiable assets Aggregate consideration Less: Fair value of net identifiable assets Pro forma adjustments on goodwill |

- Note a: Intangible assets represent a trademark of approximately RMB22,785,000, a technology of approximately RMB311,969,000. Both the trademark and technology will be amortised on a straight line basis over fifteen years.
The recognition of trademark and technology as part of the proposed acquisition arose mainly from an upward valuation of brand name ‘‘天新福’’ and a patent technology applied in the biotech product against the competitors, which are expected to bring extra economic benefit to the Target Group.
The fair value of the trademark was developed through the application of the income approach technique which has taken into account of the estimated royalty income contributed by the trademark.
The fair value of the technology was developed through the application of the income approach technique and has considered the estimated future direct economic benefits and costs attributed to technology.
- Note b: Deferred tax liability arose from the difference between the tax base and fair value of land use rights, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Tax rate of 15% was used to calculate deferred tax liability as it is the tax rate expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled.
Since the fair values of the net identifiable assets of the Target Group as at the Completion Date may be substantially different from the fair values used in the preparation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the final amount of the goodwill may be different from the amounts presented above.
The Directors confirm that consistent policies and assumptions have been applied for the purpose of assessing impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets under Hong Kong Accounting Standard 36 ‘‘Impairment of Assets’’, and the Directors are not aware of any indications that an impairment of the Enlarged Group’s goodwill and other intangible assets is required after considering the nature, prospects, financial condition and business risks of the Enlarged Group.
Upon the completion of the proposed acquisition and at the end of the each reporting period, the Group will perform a review for impairment on the Enlarged Group’s goodwill annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies and principal assumptions.
- No other adjustments have been made to reflect any trading result or other transactions of the Group and the Target Group entered into subsequent to 31 December 2013. Unless otherwise stated, the adjustments above do not have a recurring effect.
