LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • . Regenerative medical biomaterials are clinically advantageous and commercially valuable. Regenerative medical biomaterials refer to biomedical materials formed from natural biological tissues which are processed using special technologies like tissue engineering technology. The regenerative medical biomaterials have the following advantages:

  • (i) Compared with ordinary biomedical materials, regenerative medical biomaterials that are implanted into the body can induce regeneration and repair of defective tissues and organs. Regenerative medical biomaterials have the advantages of good tissue inductivity, histocompatibility, degradation compliance, mechanical compliance with high standard of safety.

  • (ii) Compared with biological synthetic materials and metallic materials whose tissue structure is quite different from human tissue, regenerative medical biomaterials are made by animal tissues such as pigs and cattle, and their composition and structure are very similar to human tissue, thus artificial organs and tissue made from regenerative medical biomaterials that implanted into human body through tissue engineering technology on the premise of retaining animal tissue structure is highly acceptable to human body and can effectively avoid the occurrence of immune rejection and discomfort, which can significantly improve the life quality of patients.

  • (iii) Regenerative medical biomaterials are highly biogenic and have been modified by immune rejection and surface activity, so they have excellent biocompatibility and can grow together with host cells to induce tissue regeneration.

  • (iv) Regenerative medical biomaterials also have excellent mechanical compliance and degradation compliance. Good mechanical compliance enables the biomechanical requirements of various applications to be met by biomechanical modification of biomaterials at the molecular level.

  • . Growth potential of the Target Company in the PRC. The Target Company possesses a strong product pipeline that covers several R&D stages, including but not limited to biological hernia patch, biological dressing, oral cavity repair membrane, breast tissue patch, injection granules and biological sponge.

As an industry leader in the development of innovative products, the Group has an R&D team consisting of experienced members. The team closely cooperates with surgeons, hospitals (especially Class III Grade A hospitals), first-class university research centers and other research institutions.

As of June 30, 2021, the Group had commenced a number of R&D projects. It supported the expansion and further R&D of new products in the diabetes therapy sector through substantial investment. In the first half of 2021, it advanced the project in relation to the smart cap and supporting application for insulin injection pens, where it designed a new cap structure for the advantages of accurate data transformation and low cost. With the help of the supporting application, the pen cap could connect with smart terminals to record and analyze the dosage of insulin injection and blood sugar level. Meanwhile, these records could also be uploaded to the cloud for checking by medical professionals.

Apart from diabetes products, the Group stepped up its R&D efforts in business lines such as its intravenous cannula products. Currently, it is developing a new kind of disposable dialysis cannulas that allows the users to remove the steel needle after injection. The new product minimizes damage to blood vessels by leaving only the flexible polymer cannula inside. Unlike traditional cannulas, there are asymmetrical side holes at the duct tip of the new product, which are uniquely designed to prevent insufficient blood flow due to contact with the vascular wall. The new dialysis cannula developed by the Group is expected to be launched in the second half of 2022. It aims to provide better treatment experience and safety assurance for patients with kidney failure, while promoting import substitution. This project facilitates the transformation of the Group from intravenous to intraarterial treatment, marking its first step to the hemodialysis market with promising prospects.

The Group will continue its investment in product innovation and R&D. Following the R&D strategy of ‘‘produce and focus our R&D efforts for a leading next generation of products’’, the Group will focus on the safety and effectiveness as well as R&D and innovation of medical devices so as to enhance its overall competitiveness in the industry.

Expansion of Distribution Network

The Group has an experienced, strong and dedicated team of professional sales and marketing staff to support and consolidate its distribution networks in 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China, and enhance the promotion of products from all business segments. The Group continued to optimize its sales channels and expand its

distribution network, actively promoted the Company’s strategic product layout in centralized procurement market and non-centralized procurement market, and closely monitored national medical policies to timely adjust the bidding strategies. In the first half of 2021, the Group won the bids for its products in regions such as Jiangsu, Henan, Hebei and Xinjiang. Adhering to the strategic approach of ‘‘low cost, high quality’’ continuously, it conducted a comprehensive review of daily management and corporate strategy to introduce innovative plans and measures.

Meanwhile, the Group extended the sales network in multiple channels and sectors to cover hospitals in key provinces. The Group will strive to develop new business sectors that could bring synergy to existing businesses in terms of clinical application and sales channels, thereby promoting business growth and network expansion.

Introduction

We report on the historical financial information of Beijing Ruijian High-Tech Biological Technology Co., Ltd 北京瑞健高科生物科技有限公司 (the ‘‘Target Company’’) set out on pages II-5 to II-48, which comprises the statements of financial position as at 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and 30 September 2021, and the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statements of changes in equity and the statements of cash flows for each of the years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and the nine months ended 30 September 2021 (the ‘‘Track Record Period’’) and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (together the ‘‘Historical Financial Information’’). The Historical Financial Information set out on pages II-5 to II-48 forms an integral part of this report, which has been prepared for inclusion in the circular of PW Medtech Group Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) dated 21 February 2022 (the ‘‘Circular’’) in connection with the proposed acquisition of the Target Company by the Company.

Directors’ responsibility for the Historical Financial Information

The directors of Company are responsible for the preparation of the Historical Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in Note 2 to the Historical Financial Information, and for such internal control as the directors determines are necessary to enable the preparation of the Historical Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Reporting accountants’ responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Historical Financial Information and to report our opinion to you. We conducted our work in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Investment Circular Reporting Engagements 200 ‘‘Accountants’ Reports on Historical Financial Information in Investment Circulars’’ issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (‘‘HKICPA’’).

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

Our work involved performing procedures to obtain evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Financial Information. The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants’ judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the Historical Financial Information, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the reporting accountants consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of Historical Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in Note 2 to the Historical Financial Information in order to design procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Our work also included evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the director, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical Financial Information.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion the Historical Financial Information gives, for the purposes of the accountants’ report, a true and fair view of the Target Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and 30 September 2021 and of the Target Company’s financial performance and cash flows for the Track Record Period in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in Note 2 to the Historical Financial Information.

Review of Stub Period Comparative Financial Information

We have reviewed the stub period comparative historical financial information of the Target Company which comprises the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the nine months ended 30 September 2021 and other explanatory information (together the ‘‘Stub Period Comparative Historical Financial Information’’). The directors of the Target Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Stub Period Comparative Historical Financial Information in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in Note 2 to the Historical Financial Information. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Stub Period Comparative Historical Financial Information based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagement 2410 ‘‘Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity’’ issued by the HKICPA. A review 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 Stub Period Comparative Historical Financial Information, for the purposes of the accountants’ report, is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in Note 2 to the Historical Financial Information.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

II. NOTES TO THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The Target Company was incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (the ‘‘PRC’’) as a limited liability company on 5 February 2013. Its registered office is located at Room 102, 202, Building 15, No. 1 Chaoqian Road, Changping District, Beijing, the PRC.

The Target Company is principally engaged in the research and development of the regenerative medical biomaterials in the PRC.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION

(a) Statement of compliance

The Historical Financial Information set out in this report has been prepared in conformity with HKFRSs, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (‘‘HKASs’’) and Interpretations (hereinafter collectively referred to as the ‘‘HKFRS’’) issued by the HKICPA and the applicable disclosure requirements of the Listing Rules.

The HKICPA has issued a number of new and revised HKFRS. For the purpose of preparing this Financial Information, the Target Company has adopted all applicable new and revised HKFRS during the Relevant Periods, except for any new or revised standards or interpretations that are not yet effective for and have not been early adopted by the Target Company, details of which are set out in Note 3.

The Target Company incurred a net loss of approximately RMB7,875,000 during the nine months ended 30 September 2021 and, as of that date, the Target Company had net current liabilities and net liabilities of approximately RMB69,920,000 and RMB16,245,000 respectively. The Target Company finances its operations principally by obtaining funding from its shareholders and interest-bearing borrowings.

The Historical Financial Information has been prepared by the Target Company’s director under the going concern concept because in the opinion of the Target Company’s director, the Target Company will have adequate fund for its current operations in the foreseeable future. The lenders of other borrowings have extended repayment date after the reporting periods or not to demand repayment of debts due from the Target Company until such time when repayment will not affect the ability of the Target Company to repay other creditors in the normal course of business.

(b) Basis of measurement

The Historical Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost basis, except for financial assets stated at fair value through profit or loss, which is measured at fair value as explained in the accounting policies set out in Note 4.

(c) Functional and presentation currency

The Financial Information are presented in Renminbi (‘‘RMB’’), which is the functional currency of the Target Company. All are rounded to the nearest thousand (‘‘RMB’000’’), except when otherwise indicated.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

3. ADOPTION OF HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

  • (a) Changes in accounting policies and disclosures

For the purposes of preparing and presenting the Historical Financial Information for the Relevant Periods, the Target Company has consistently adopted accounting policies which conform with HKFRSs, amendments and the related interpretations, which are effective for the accounting period beginning on 1 January 2019 throughout the Relevant Periods except the following standards and amendments which have been adopted during the Relevant Periods at their respective effective dates as follows:

HKFRS 16 Lease[1]

1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019

The nature and the impact of the new and revised HKFRSs are described below:

HKFRS 16 — Leases

(i) Impact of the adoption of HKFRS 16

HKFRS 16 brings significant changes in accounting treatment for lease accounting, primarily for accounting for lessees. It replaces HKAS 17 Leases (‘‘HKAS 17’’), HK(IFRIC)-Int 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, HK(SIC)-Int 15 Operating Leases-Incentives and HK(SIC)-Int 27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. From a lessee’s perspective, almost all leases are recognised in the statement of financial position as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, with the narrow exception to this principle for leases which the underlying assets are of low-value or are determined as short-term leases. From a lessor’s perspective, the accounting treatment is substantially unchanged from HKAS 17. For details of HKFRS 16 regarding its new definition of a lease, its impact on the Target Company’s accounting policies and the transition method adopted by the Target Company as allowed under HKFRS 16, please refer to section (ii) to (iv) of this note.

The Target Company has applied HKFRS 16 using modified retrospective approach from 1 January 2019, but has not restated comparatives for the 2018 reporting period, as permitted under the simplified transition approach in the standard. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from HKFRS 16 are therefore recognised in the opening balances on 1 January 2019.

The following tables summarised the impact of transition to HKFRS 16 on statement of financial position as of 31 December 2018 to that of 1 January 2019 as follows (increase/(decrease)):

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

The following reconciliation explains how the operating lease commitments disclosed applying HKAS 17 at the end of 31 December 2018 could be reconciled to the lease liabilities at the date of initial application recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position as at 1 January 2019:

Reconciliation of operating lease commitment to lease liabilities

RMB’000
Operating lease commitment as at 31 December 2018 1,895
Less: total future interest expenses (207)
Total lease liabilities as of 1 January 2019 1,688
The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to lease
liabilities recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position
as at 1 January 2019 is 4.3%
  • (ii) The new definition of a lease

Under HKFRS 16, a lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset (the underlying asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration. A contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time when the customer, throughout the period of use, has both: (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset and (b) the right to direct the use of the identified asset.

For a contract that contains a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, a lessee shall allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components, unless the lessee apply the practical expedient which allows the lessee to elect, by class of underlying asset, not to separate non-lease components from lease components, and instead account for each lease component and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component.

The Target Company has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for all each lease component and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component for all leases.

(iii) Accounting as a lessee

Under HKAS 17, a lessee has to classify a lease as an operating lease or a finance lease based on the extent to which risks and rewards incidental to ownership of a lease asset lie with the lessor or the lessee. If a lease is determined as an operating lease, the lessee would recognise the lease payments under the operating lease as an expense over the lease term. The asset under the lease would not be recognised in the statement of financial position of the lessee.

Under HKFRS 16, all leases (irrespective of they are operating leases or finance leases) are required to be capitalised in the statement of financial position as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, but HKFRS 16 provides accounting policy choices for an entity to choose not to capitalise (i) leases which are short-term leases and/or (ii) leases for which the underlying asset is of low-value.

The Target Company recognised a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the date of adoption of HKFRS 16, i.e. 1 January 2019 and the commencement date of a lease.

– II-12 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

Right-of-use asset

The right-of-use asset should be recognised at cost and would comprise: (i) the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability (see below for the accounting policy to account for lease liability); (ii) any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received; (iii) any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee and (iv) an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories. The Target Company measures the right-of-use assets applying a cost model. Under the cost model, the Target Company measures the right-to-use at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liability.

The Target Company has leased the office premise under tenancy agreement which the Target Company exercises it judgement and determines that it is a separate class of asset. As a result, the right-of-use asset arising from office premise under tenancy agreements are carried at depreciated cost.

Lease liability

The lease liability should be recognised at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the date of commencement of the lease. The lease payments shall be discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Target Company shall use the Target Company’s incremental borrowing rate.

The following payments for the right-to-use the underlying asset during the lease term that are not paid at the commencement date of the lease are considered to be lease payments: (i) fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable: (ii) variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at commencement date; (iii) amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees; (iv) the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option and (v) payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.

Subsequent to the commencement date, a lessee shall measure the lease liability by: (i) increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability; (ii) reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made; and (iii) remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications, e.g., a change in future lease payments arising from change in an index or rate, a change in the lease term, a change in the in substance fixed lease payments or a change in assessment to purchase the underlying asset.

(iv) Transition

As mentioned above, the Target Company has applied HKFRS 16 using modified retrospective approach with a date of initial application of 1 January 2019, under which the cumulative effect of initial application is recognised as at 1 January 2019. As a result, the comparative information presented in 2018 has not been restated and continues to be reported under HKAS 17 and related interpretations as allowed by the transition provision in HKFRS 16.

The Target Company has recognised the lease liabilities at the date of 1 January 2019 for leases previously classified as operating leases applying HKAS 17 and measured those lease liabilities at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at 1 January 2019.

The Target Company has elected to recognise all the right-of-use assets at 1 January 2019 for leases previously classified operating leases under HKAS 17 at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in the statement of

– II-13 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

financial position immediately before the date of initial application. For all these right-of-use assets, the Target Company has applied HKAS 36 Impairment of Assets at 1 January 2019 to assess if there was any impairment as on that date.

The Target Company has applied the practical expedients such that: (i) HKFRS 16 is applied to all of the Target Company’s lease contracts that were previously identified as leases applying HKAS 17 and HK(IFRIC)-Int 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease and (ii) not to apply HKFRS 16 to contracts that were not previously identified as containing a lease under HKAS 17 and HK(IFRIC)-Int4.

(b) Issued but not yet effective Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards

The following new/revised HKFRSs, potentially relevant to the Historical Financial Information, have been issued, but are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Target Company.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are stated in the statement of financial position at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

– II-14 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

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

Leasehold improvements Over the lease terms Machinery and equipment 5 years Furniture fittings and office equipment 3–10 years

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

Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Cost may also include transfers from equity of any gains/losses on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of plant and equipment.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s 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 Company 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 recognised in profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

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

(b) Intangible assets (other than goodwill)

  • (i) Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Subsequently, intangible assets with finite useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Patent 3–5 years

  • (ii) Internally generated intangible assets (research and development costs)

Expenditure on internally developed products is capitalised if it can be demonstrated that:

  • . it is technically feasible to develop the product for it to be sold;

  • . adequate resources are available to complete the development;

  • . there is an intention to complete and sell the product;

  • . the Target Company is able to sell the product;

  • . sale of the product will generate future economic benefits; and

  • . expenditure on the project can be measured reliably.

– II-15 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

Capitalised development costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the periods. The Target Company expects to benefit from selling the products developed. The amortisation expense is recognised in profit or loss.

Development expenditure not satisfying the above criteria and expenditure on the research phase of internal projects are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

Intangible assets are not amortised while their useful lives are assessed to be indefinite. Any conclusion that the useful life of an intangible asset is indefinite is reviewed annually to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support the indefinite useful life assessment for that asset. If they do not, the change in the useful life assessment from indefinite to finite is accounted for prospectively from the date of change and in accordance with the policy for amortisation of intangible assets with finite lives as set out above.

(c) Government grants

Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Target Company will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.

Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Target Company recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.

Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Target Company with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.

(d) Leases (accounting policies applied from 1 January 2019)

A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset (the underlying asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration. A contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time when the customer, throughout the period of use, has both: (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset and (b) the right to direct the use of the identified asset.

For a contract that contains a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, a lessee shall allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components, unless the lessee apply the practical expedient which allows the lessee to elect, by class of underlying asset, not to separate non-lease components from lease components, and instead account for each lease component and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component.

The Target Company has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for all each lease component and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component for all leases.

The Target Company recognised a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date of a lease.

Right-of-use asset

The right-of-use asset should be recognised at cost and would comprise: (i) the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability (see below for the accounting policy to account for lease liability); (ii) any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received; (iii) any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee and (iv) an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, unless those

– II-16 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

costs are incurred to produce inventories. Under the cost model, the Target Company measures the right-touse at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liability.

Lease liability

The lease liability should be recognised at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the date of commencement of the lease. The lease payments shall be discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Target Company shall use the Target Company’s incremental borrowing rate.

The following payments for the right-to-use the underlying asset during the lease term that are not paid at the commencement date of the lease are considered to be lease payments: (i) fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable: (ii) variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at commencement date; (iii) amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees; (iv) the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option and (v) payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.

Subsequent to the commencement date, a lessee shall measure the lease liability by: (i) increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability; (ii) reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made; and (iii) remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications, e.g., a change in future lease payments arising from change in an index or rate, a change in the lease term, a change in the in substance fixed lease payments or a change in assessment to purchase the underlying asset.

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

(e) Leases (accounting policies applied until 31 December 2018)

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

The Target Company as lessee

Payments for office premise held for own use under operating leases represent up-front payments to acquire long-term interests in lessee-occupied properties. These payments are stated at cost and are amortised over the period of the lease on a straight-line basis as an expense.

The total rentals payable under the operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integrated part of the total rental expense, over the term of the lease.

(f) Impairment of other assets

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

  • . Plant and equipment

– II-17 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

. Intangible assets

If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

  • . Calculation of recoverable amount

The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows independently (i.e. a cash-generating unit).

  • . Recognition of impairment losses

An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss if the carrying amount of an asset, or the cash-generating unit to which it belongs, exceeds its recoverable amount.

  • . Reversals of impairment losses

In respect of assets other than goodwill, an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. A reversal of an impairment loss is limited to the asset’s carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the year in which the reversals are recognised.

(g) Inventories

Inventories are initially recognised at cost, and subsequently at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is calculated using specific method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

(h) Financial Instruments

(i) Financial assets

A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, that is, the date that the Target Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the market place.

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirely when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.

– II-18 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

Debt instruments

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Target Company’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Target Company classifies its debt instruments:

Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest rate method. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.

Fair value through other comprehensive income (‘‘FVOCI’’): Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through OCI. Debt investments at fair value through other comprehensive income are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest rate method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

Fair value through profit or loss (‘‘FVTPL’’): Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets with cash flows that are not solely payments of principal and interest are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model. Notwithstanding the criteria for debt instruments to be classified at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, as described above, debt instruments may be designated at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition if doing so eliminates, or significantly reduces, an accounting mismatch.

Equity instruments

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Target Company could irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis. Equity investments at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value. Dividend income are recognised in profit or loss unless the dividend income clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investments. Other net gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income and are not reclassified to profit or loss. All other equity instruments are classified as FVTPL, whereby changes in fair value, dividends and interest income are recognised in profit or loss.

(ii) Impairment loss on financial assets

The Target Company recognises loss allowances for expected credit loss (‘‘ECL’’) on other receivables and deposits, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and cash and cash equivalents. The ECLs are measured on either of the following bases: (1) 12 months ECLs: these are the ECLs that result from possible default events within the 12 months after the reporting date: and (2) lifetime ECLs: these are ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Target Company is exposed to credit risk.

– II-19 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Target Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Target Company expects to receive. The shortfall is then discounted at an approximation to the assets’ original effective interest rate.

For other debt financial assets, the ECLs are based on the 12-months ECLs. However, when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since origination, the allowance will be based on the lifetime ECLs.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Target Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information analysis, based on the Target Company’s historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information.

The Target Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due, unless the Target Company has reasonable and supportable information to demonstrate that a more lagging default criteria is more appropriate.

The Target Company considers a financial asset to be credit-impaired when: (1) the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Target Company in full, without recourse by the Target Company to actions such as realising security (if any is held); or (2) the financial asset is more than 90 days past due, unless the Target Company has reasonable and supportable information to demonstrate that a more lagging default criteria is more appropriate.

Interest income on credit-impaired financial assets is calculated based on the amortised cost (i.e. the gross carrying amount less loss allowance) of the financial asset. For non credit-impaired financial assets interest income is calculated based on the gross carrying amount.

(iii) Financial liabilities

The Target Company classifies its financial liabilities, depending on the purpose for which the liabilities were incurred. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially measured at fair value and financial liabilities at amortised costs are initially measured at fair value, net of directly attributable costs incurred.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of sale in the near term. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in profit or loss.

Where a contract contains one or more embedded derivatives, the entire hybrid contract may be designated as a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss, except where the embedded derivative does not significantly modify the cash flows or it is clear that separation of the embedded derivative is prohibited.

Financial liabilities may be designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss if the following criteria are met: (i) the designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that would otherwise arise from measuring the liabilities or recognising gains or losses on them on a different basis; (ii) the liabilities are part of a group of financial liabilities which

– II-20 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

are managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management strategy; or (iii) the financial liability contains an embedded derivative that would need to be separately recorded.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except for the gains and losses arising from the Target Company’s own credit risk which are presented in other comprehensive income with no subsequent reclassification to the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The net fair value gain or loss recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income does not include any interest charged on these financial liabilities.

Financial liabilities at amortised cost

Financial liabilities at amortised cost including other payables and accruals, other borrowings and lease liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. The related interest expense is recognised in profit or loss.

Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the amortisation process.

(iv) Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of allocating interest income or interest expense over the Relevant Periods. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments through the expected life of the financial asset or liability, or where appropriate, a shorter period.

(v) Derecognition

The Target Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the future cash flows in relation to the financial asset expire or when the financial asset has been transferred and the transfer meets the criteria for derecognition in accordance with HKFRS 9.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

(i) Revenue recognition

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of goods or services is transferred to the customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Target Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, excluding those amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue excludes value added tax or other sales taxes and is after deduction of any trade discounts.

Depending on the terms of the contract and the laws that apply to the contract, control of the goods or service may be transferred over time or at a point in time. Control of the goods or service is transferred over time if the Target Company’s performance:

  • . provides all of the benefits received and consumed simultaneously by the customer;

  • . creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Target Company performs; or

  • . does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Target Company and the Target Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

– II-21 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

If control of the goods or services transfers over time, revenue is recognised over the period of the contract by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. Otherwise, revenue is recognised at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods or service.

When the contract contains a financing component which provides the customer a significant benefit of financing the transfer of goods or services to the customer for more than one year, revenue is measured at the present value of the amounts receivable, discounted using the discount rate that would be reflected in a separate financing transaction between the Target Company and the customer at contract inception. Where the contract contains a financing component which provides a significant financing benefit to the Target Company, revenue recognised under that contract includes the interest expense accreted on the contract liability under the effective interest method. For contracts where the period between the payment and the transfer of the promised goods or services is one year or less, the transaction price is not adjusted for the effects of a significant financing component, using the practical expedient in HKFRS 15.

Further details of the Target Company’s revenue and other income recognition policies are as follows:

Interest income

Interest income is recognised as it accrues under the effective interest method using the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset. For financial assets measured at amortised cost that are not credit-impaired, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset.

(j) Capitalisation of borrowing costs

Borrowing costs attributable directly to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets which require a substantial period of time to be ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. Income earned on temporary investments of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on those assets is deducted from borrowing costs capitalised. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

(k) Employee benefits

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

Short term employee benefits are employee benefits (other than termination benefits) that are expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service. Short term employee benefits are recognised in the year when the employees render the related service.

Contributions to defined contribution retirement plans are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when the services are rendered by the employees.

(ii) Termination benefits

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

(l) Income tax

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

– II-22 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

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

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

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

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

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

Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognised when the liability to pay the related dividends is recognised.

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

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

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

  • . the same taxable entity; or

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

(m) Provisions and contingent liabilities

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

– II-23 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

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

(n) Foreign currency

Transactions entered into by Target Company in currencies other than the currency of the primary economic environment in which it/they operate(s) (the ‘‘functional currency’’) are recorded at the rates ruling when the transactions occur. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates ruling at the end of reporting period. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period except for differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income, in which case, the exchange differences are also recognised in other comprehensive income.

On consolidation, income and expense items are translated into the presentation currency of the Target Company (i.e. Renminbi) at the average exchange rates for the year, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during the period, in which case, the rates approximating to those ruling when the transactions took place are used. All assets and liabilities are translated at the rate ruling at the end of reporting period. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity as foreign exchange reserve (attributed to minority interests as appropriate). Exchange differences recognised in profit or loss of group entities’ separate financial statements on the translation of long-term monetary items forming part of the Target Company’s net investment are reclassified to other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity as foreign exchange reserve.

(o) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and short-term deposits and highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value, and are used by the Target Company in the management of its short-term commitments. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and that form an integral part of the Target Company’s cash management are included in cash and cash equivalents.

(p) Related parties

For the purposes of the Historical Financial Information, a party is considered to be related to the Target Company if:

  • (ii) children of that person’s spouse or domestic partner; and

  • (iii) dependents of that person or that person’s spouse or domestic partner.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The Target Company 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 period are discussed below.

(a) Useful lives and residue values of plant and equipment and intangible assets

Useful lives of the Target Company’s plant and equipment and intangible assets with definite useful life are defined as the period over which they are expected to be available for use by the Target Company. This estimate is based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives of plant and equipment and intangible assets of similar nature and functions. Management will increase the depreciation or amortisation charge where useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, and it will write off or write down technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold. Actual economic lives may differ from estimated useful lives; and actual residual values may differ from estimated residual values. Periodic review could result in a change in useful lives and residual values and therefore depreciation or amortisation expense in future periods.

– II-25 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

(b) Impairment of plant and equipment and intangible assets

Plant and equipment and intangible assets with definite useful life are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The intangible assets with indefinite useful life are reviewed at least annually for impairment. The recoverable amounts are determined based on value-in-use calculations or market valuations. In determining the value in use, expected cash flows generated by the asset are discounted to their present values, which require significant judgement relating to items such as the level of turnover and the amount of operating costs. No impairment was provided during the year.

(c) Income taxes

The Target Company is mainly subject to income taxes in PRC. The Target Company carefully evaluates tax implications of transactions in accordance with prevailing tax regulations and makes tax provision accordingly. However, judgement is required in determining the Target Company’s provision for income taxes as there are many transactions and calculations of which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

(d) Allowance for ECLs on other receivables and deposits

The allowance for ECLs on the other receivables and deposits are estimated based on assumptions about the risk of default and credit risk of respective receivables. The loss allowance amount is measured at the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows with the consideration of expected future credit loss of the respective receivables. Such assessment involves high degree of estimation and uncertainty. When the actual future cash flows are less or more than expected, a material ECLs or material reversal of ECLs may arise, accordingly.

ECL are measured as an allowance equal to 12-month ECL or lifetime ECL for respective receivables and contract assets. An asset will use lifetime ECL when its credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. HKFRS 9 does not define what constitutes a significant increase in credit risk. In assessing whether the credit risk of an asset has significantly increased, the Target Company takes into account quantitative and qualitative reasonable and supportable forward looking information including available customers’ historical data and existing and forecast market conditions.

(e) Research and development costs

Costs associated with research activities are expensed in profit or loss as they are incurred, while costs that are directly attributable to development activities are recognised as intangible assets provided they meet all the requirements. This requires the management to make judgements to distinguish the research phase and development phase of the projects being undertaken. Research is original and planned investigation undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding. Development is the application of research, findings or other knowledge to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved materials devices, products, processes, systems or services before the start of commercial production or use. Determining the amounts to be expensed in profit or loss or to be capitalised required management to make judgement, and assumptions regarding the expected progress and outcome of the research and development activities the future expected cash generation of the assets, discount rates to be applied, and also the expected period of, probable future economic benefits.

26. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Target Company’s financial instruments are disclosed in Note 27(c). The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

(a) Credit risk

Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to this credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis.

The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited because the counterparties are banks with good reputation.

The Target Company expects that there is no significant credit risk associated with financial product measured at fair value through profit or loss since the Group furnishes investment mandates to commercial banks. These mandates require them to invest in financial product issued by bank with high market credit rating, liquidity and stable return. Management does not expect that there will be any significant losses from non-performance by these counterparties.

The Target Company has adopted general approach to measure ECLs on deposits and other receivables. Under the general approach, the Target Company applies the ‘‘3-stage’’ impairment model for ECLs measurement based on change in credit risk since initial recognition as follows:

  • Stage 1: If the credit risk of the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the financial instrument is included in Stage 1.

  • Stage 2: If the credit risk of the financial instrument has increased significantly since its initial recognition but is not deemed to be credit-impaired, the financial instrument is included in Stage 2.

  • Stage 3: If the financial instrument is credit-impaired, the financial instrument is included in Stage 3.

The ECLs for financial instruments in Stage 1 are measured at an amount equivalent to 12-month ECLs whereas the ECLs for financial instruments in Stage 2 or Stage 3 are measured at an amount equivalent to lifetime ECLs.

– II-41 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

When determining whether the risk of default has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Target Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Target Company’s historical experience and informed credit risk assessment and including forward-looking information.

At the end of each reporting period, the Target Company assesses whether a financial asset is credit-impaired. The Target Company considers a financial asset to be credit-impaired when: (1) the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Target Company in full, without recourse by the Target Company to actions such as realising security (if any is held); or (2) the financial asset is more than 90 days past due, unless the Target Company has reasonable and supportable information to demonstrate that a more lagging default criteria is more appropriate.

The measurement of ECLs is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure of default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data and adjusted for forward-looking information through the use of industry trend and experienced credit judgment to reflect the qualitative factors, and through the use of multiple probabilityweighted scenarios.

The Target Company has not recognised any impairment on deposits and other receivables as at 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and 30 September 2021 as there is no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition and the amount of impairment measured under the 12-month ECLs model is immaterial.

(b) Liquidity risk

The Target Company’s policy is to regularly monitor its liquidity requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.

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

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

27. SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES BY CATEGORY

(a) Financial instrument measured at fair value

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is used on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Target Company. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

The Target Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

Some of the Target Company’s financial assets are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The following table gives information about how the fair values of these financial assets are determined (in particular, the valuation technique(s) and inputs used).

Fair value Fair value Valuation

During the years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and the nine months ended 30 September 2021, there were no transfers between instruments in Level 2 and Level 3, or transfers into or out of Level 1.

The information set out in this appendix does not form part of the Accountants’ Report received from BDO Limited, Certified Public Accountants, Hong Kong, the reporting accountants of the Company as set out in Appendix II to this circular, and is included herein for information only.

The following is an illustrative and unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of the Enlarged Group (the ‘‘Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information’’), which has been prepared in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules for the purpose of illustrating the effect of the completion of the Acquisition on the financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2021 as if the completion of the Acquisition had taken place on 30 June 2021.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared on the basis of the notes below based on a number of assumptions, estimates, uncertainties and currently available information. Accordingly, the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information does not purport to describe the actual financial position of the Enlarged Group that would have been attained had the Acquisition been completed on 30 June 2021 nor does the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information purport to predict the future financial position of the Enlarged Group.

Notes:

The principal assumptions used in the valuation are set out below:

(i) Discount rate 16.87%

Discount rate — The discount rate used reflects specific risks relating to the intangible assets.

  • (ii) The Deferred tax liabilities arose from the difference between the tax bases and the fair values of intangible assets. A 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 asset is realised.

The Target Company have been qualified as ‘‘High and New Technology Enterprises’’ under the CIT Law at 25 October 2021. Therefore, the Target Company was entitled to a preferential income tax rate of 15% on their estimated assessable profit.

The report which follows is dated February 21, 2022 (the ‘‘Report Date’’). The purpose of this valuation is to express an independent opinion for disclosure reference.

Our valuation was carried out on a market value basis. Market value is defined as ‘‘the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction, after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion’’.

BACKGROUND

The Target Company, incorporated in the PRC with limited liability on February 5, 2013, researches, develops, produces, and sells biomedical materials and medical devices. Four products of the Target Company, namely hernia patches, oral biofilms, breast patches and biological dressings (together referred as the ‘‘R&D Projects’’), have either completed or are going through the clinical stages, which are assumed to debut in the market in 2022 and 2024. The Target Company markets its products throughout the PRC.

Hernia patch is a medical device that is used to provide additional support to weakened or damaged tissue. The Target Company’s biological hernia patch has completed clinical trials and is estimated by the management to be approved by National Medical Products Administration (‘‘NMPA’’) in 2022.

Oral biofilm using biomedical materials in clinical treatment of stomatology is mainly used for repairing soft tissue defects in oral cavity.

We planned and performed our valuation so as to obtain all the information and explanations that we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to express our opinion on the valuation of the Subject.

VALUATION METHODOLOGY

In arriving at our assessed value, we have considered three generally accepted approaches, namely market approach, cost approach and income approach.

Market Approach considers prices recently paid for similar assets, with adjustments made to market prices to reflect condition and utility of the appraised assets relative to the market comparative. Assets for which there is an established secondary market may be valued by this approach. Benefits of using this approach include its simplicity, clarity, speed and the need for few or no assumptions. It also introduces objectivity in application as publicly available inputs are used. However, one has to be wary of the hidden assumptions in those inputs as there are inherent assumptions on the value of those comparable assets. It is also difficult to find comparable assets. Furthermore, this approach relies exclusively on the efficient market hypothesis.

Cost Approach considers the cost to reproduce or replace in new condition the assets appraised in accordance with current market prices for similar assets, with allowance for accrued depreciation or obsolescence present, whether arising from physical, functional or economic causes. The cost approach generally furnishes the most reliable indication of value for assets without a known secondary market. Despite the simplicity and transparency of this approach, it does not directly incorporate information about the economic benefits contributed by the subject assets.

Income Approach is the conversion of expected periodic benefits of ownership into an indication of value. It is based on the principle that an informed buyer would pay no more for the project than an amount equal to the present worth of anticipated future benefits (income) from the same or a substantially similar project with a similar risk profile. This approach allows for the prospective valuation of future profits and there are numerous empirical and theoretical

– V-4 –

APPENDIX V

VALUATION REPORT

justifications for the present value of expected future cash flows. However, this approach relies on numerous assumptions over a long-time horizon and the result may be very sensitive to certain inputs. It also presents a single scenario only.

Given the nature of the Subject, there are substantial limitations for adopting the market approach and the cost approach to value the underlying assets. Firstly, the market approach relies generally on deriving value through a measure of the values of market comparables or transactions. Considering the unique characteristics of Target Company such as the specialised products they will be offering and the stages of development of the products, there was a lack of market comparables or transactions available as at the Valuation Date to derive an indicative value with a sufficient level of accuracy.

According to the legal due diligence report by Beijing Zhong Lun Law Firm dated April 2021, a group of investors reached an agreement with the Target Company to participate into its B-round financing in 2018, based on a pre-money valuation of around RMB600 million.

Due to the disagreement between the B-round investors and the Target Company in the strategic development of the Target Company, the B-round shareholders requested to withdraw their investment and appealed to the court. The Target Company reached a settlement with the B-round investor with the mediation of the court. According to the settlement agreements, the Target Company was liable to refund the investment amount, and to pay interests and other legal cost of approximately RMB5.25 million.

Per the Target Company and the legal due diligence report, the liabilities related to the dispute between the Target Company and the B-round investors have been fully settled in January 2020. Also per the accountant’s report as set out in the Appendix II of this circular, neither any unfulfilled obligation nor contingent liability was noted for the Target Company.

At such, this prior transaction was considered as inapplicable in the valuation of the Subject.

Secondly, the cost approach does not directly incorporate information about the economic benefits contributed by the business of the Subject as the Target Company has completed the clinical trial of one of the products and is in the process of applying for approval from NMPA.

In view of the above, we have adopted the income approach for the valuation of the Subject. Under this method, value depends on the present worth of future economic benefits to be derived from the financial projection. Indications of value have been developed by the discounted future estimated cash flows available for payment of owners’ interest to their present worth at discount rates which in our opinion are appropriate for the risks of the business. In considering the appropriate discount rate to be applied, we have taken into account a number of factors including the current cost of financing and the relevant risks inherent in the business.

MAJOR ASSUMPTIONS

Assumptions considered to have significant sensitivity effects in this valuation have been evaluated in order to provide a more accurate and reasonable basis for arriving at our assessed value. The following key assumptions in determining the market value of the Subject have been made:

  • . The valuation was primarily based on the financial projections prepared by the Target Company with reference to the Research Reports and latest historical financial information made available to us. We have assumed that the financial projections provided are prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting aspects of the individual R&D Projects, including but not limited to, market conditions, economic fundamentals, expected success rates, market shares to be achieved, selling prices, and costs of sales and operations of each of the R&D Projects after their respective commercialization, and that they will materialize;

  • . The Target Company have, or will have, sufficient capital, competent management and sufficient personnel, as well as sufficient facilities and systems for future expansion, to achieve or contribute to ongoing R&D and future commercialization;

  • . There will be no material change in the core operations of the Target Company from what is present and/or expected;

  • . All relevant laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations pertaining to the Target Company are complied with and where applicable, renewable upon expiry;

  • . The operational and contractual terms stipulated in the contracts and agreements associated with the R&D Projects and/or the Target Company will be honored;

  • . There are no hidden or unexpected conditions associated with the R&D Projects and/or the Target Company that might adversely affect the reported values; and

  • . There will be no material change in the existing political, legal, technological, fiscal or economic conditions from present and/or from what is expected, which might adversely affect the business of the Target Company.

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX V

FINANCIAL PROJECTION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

Our opinion of value was calculated using the financial projection as prepared the Target Company with reference to the Research Reports. Such financial projection has been adopted in the valuation without any adjustments. Key inputs of the financial projection and our analysis are summarized as below:

Projection Period

  • . The forecast period is up to December 31, 2035, with reference to the average product life cycles within the industries as observed by the Market Consultants.

Product Lines

  • . In the projection, 3 major product lines were assumed by the Target Company, namely hernia patches, oral biofilms and breast patches. Biological dressings was excluded in the projection as it deems the market of the product is fairly minimal in current stage.

Success Ratio

  • . The success ratio refers to the respective probabilities of the products being approved by NMPA.

  • . Per the Research Reports, in all the 4,977 domestic class III medical device registration applications accepted by NMPA in 2016–2020, 4,551 of them were approved, with an approval rate of 91%.

  • . As all the R&D Projects are classified as class III medical device, we have adopted the abovementioned statistics as the base rate of success ratio.

  • . According to the Market Consultants, there is little risk for the products which have finished clinical trials and most of them will be approved by NMPA. Hence, they determine the base of the success ratio for Target Company’s hernia patch of 90%.

  • . For the existing indications of oral biofilm and breast patch, the Market Consultants deem the closer to the finish of clinical trial, the higher the success ratio for the product. As the oral biofilm and breast patch have completed recruitment and have certain promising clinical data feedback, they take a success ratio of 85%.

  • . For the new indication of breast patch, namely the mammoplasty indication which is expected to be launched in 2024, the Market Consultants estimate that there is a 90% possibility that the Target Company’s breast patch will be approved for mammoplasty after the launch of existing indication. Considering it together with the 85% success ratio attributed for breast patch’s existing indication, a success ratio of 76.5% is hence adopted for breast patch’s mammoplasty indication.

APPENDIX V

Market Size

  • . For the market size of the 3 product lines, the Market Consultants have incorporated a number of macro factors into their estimations, such as the PRC population, disease diagnostic rates, disease treatment rates, adoption rates of the products in treatments, etc.

  • . Each abovementioned parameter is estimated by the Market Consultants with reference to the authoritative clinical guidelines and detailed interviews conducted with the industry experts. The averages of the experts’ opinions related to the future trends of the parameters are adopted by the Market Consultants in their estimations.

Market Share

  • . The Market Consultants have projected the market share for all products through meticulous and comprehensive interviews with the industry experts.

  • . During the interviews, the Target Company’s product profiles and competitor analysis tables are presented to the industry experts to determine the expected peak market share, ramp up period and competitive landscape in projection period. The averages of the experts’ opinions related to the competitive advantages of the products are adopted by the Market Consultants in their estimations.

Revenue

  • . The abovementioned market size and market share estimated by the Market Consultants have been adopted in projecting the pre-success ratio revenue for the Target Company, assuming the respective R&D projects will successfully be approved by NMPA.

  • . However, as there are still uncertainties in the approvals of the R&D projects, we have multiplied the pre-success ratio revenue by the success ratio in obtaining the post-success ratio revenue for the Target Company.

  • . The revenue from operating represents sales of biomedical materials and medical devices of the Target Company, which is projected to increase from RMB8.28 million for 2022 to RMB1.70 billion for 2031, before decreasing gradually to RMB1.01 billion for 2035.

APPENDIX V

DISCOUNT RATE

In applying the discounted cash flow method for the Subject, it is necessary to determine an appropriate discount rate or cost of capital to account for the time value of money and the risks of the business. We have determined that the appropriate discount rate for the Subject is its weighted average cost of capital (‘‘WACC’’). The concept of WACC is to incorporate the different costs of capital for all sources of the Subject’s capital and weight by their proportionate share of total capital to determine the Subject’s overall cost of capital.

The equation of WACC is shown as follows:

WACC = (E/V) × re + (D/V) × rd × (1 – tc)

re = Cost of equity of required return on equity rd = Required return on debt E = Fair value of the firm’s equity D = Fair value of the firm’s debt V = Total of fair value of the firm’s equity and fair value of the firm’s debt E/V = Percentage of equity financing D/V = Percentage of debt financing tc = Corporate tax rate

Required Return on Equity

We have used the Capital Assets Pricing Model (‘‘CAPM’’) to estimate the required return on equity capital. The required return on equity of a company represents the total rate of return investors expect to earn, through a combination of dividends and capital appreciation, as a reward for risk taking. The CAPM is a fundamental tenet of modern portfolio theory which is a generally accepted basis for marketplace valuations of equity capital. The CAPM is widely accepted in the investment and financial analysis communities for the purpose of estimating a company’s required return on equity capital.

The equation of CAPM is shown as follows:

Cost of Equity or Required Return on = Risk Free Rate Equity (re) + Relevered Beta × China Market Risk Premium + Size Premium + Company – Specific Risk Premium

DISCOUNT FOR LACK OF MARKETABILITY (‘‘DLOM’’)

The concept of marketability deals with the liquidity of an ownership interest, that is how quickly and easily it can be converted to cash if the owner chooses to sell. The lack of marketability discount reflects the fact that there is no ready market for shares in privately held companies which are typically not readily marketable compared to similar interest in public companies. Therefore, a share of stock in a privately held company is usually worth less than an otherwise comparable share in a publicly held company. The DLOM is applicable to the Target Company as it is a private entity on a standalone basis.

  • 1 Although the historical financial information of the comparable companies above are not identical to that of the Target Company, it should be noted that the selection criteria of the comparable companies does not limit whether the comparable companies are in pre-revenue stage or in net liabilities position. It so happens that the exhaustive list of the comparable companies satisfying the said selection criteria did not turn out any comparable company with similar stage and financial position to the Target Company.

However, as explained earlier, the main purpose of selecting the comparable companies is to look for the beta which can reflect the systematic risk between the industry (that the Target Company belongs to) and the overall market.

Furthermore, based on the existing financial information of the Target Company, upon the completion of transaction (including the share subscription at the consideration of RMB170 million), the Target Company will achieve a positive net asset position. In addition, according to the financial forecast, it is expected that the Target Company will become profitable in 2023 when the products start gradually launching to the market in 2022. It is also expected that the financial positions (e.g. revenue size, profit size and net asset size) would become comparable to and in line with the comparable companies in 4–5 years’ time according to the financial forecast.

Given the longer horizon of the financial forecast (until 2035) compare to the shorter time required getting the Target Company to be in-line with the comparable companies in those financial metrics, we consider that these comparable companies are suitable for this valuation analysis.

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX V

We have assessed the DLOM of this interest using a put option method. The concept is that when comparing a public share and a private share, the holder of a public share has the ability to sell the shares (i.e. a put option) to the stock market right away. As the time to a liquidity event becomes shorter, the degree of the DLOM becomes smaller.

In this valuation exercise, we have assessed the DLOM using the put option method, which is one of the most commonly used theoretical models. The value of put option is determined by ‘‘Finnerty Model’’ with the following parameters.

Parameter Input Source
Maturity 2 year Assumed
Volatility (%) 49.89% Historical volatility of the Comparable Companies
Implied DLOM (%) 15.47% Calculated

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

A sensitivity analysis was prepared to project the results based on the changes of discount rate.

The following table summarize the resulting values of the Subject based on changes of discount rate:

Discount Rate (%) Market Value of the Subject (RMB)
14.87 947,000,000
15.87 874,000,000
16.87 808,000,000
17.87 747,000,000
18.87 691,000,000

VALUATION COMMENT

The conclusion of value 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 other relevant factors are considered by us to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Target Company, the Company and JLL.

We do not intend to express any opinion on matters which require legal or other specialized expertise or knowledge, beyond what is customarily employed by valuers. Our conclusions assume continuation of prudent management of the Target Company over whatever period of time that is reasonable and necessary to maintain the character and integrity of the assets valued.

APPENDIX VI

  • A. ASSURANCE REPORT FROM BDO LIMITED ON THE CALCULATION OF DISCOUNTED FUTURE CASH FLOWS IN CONNECTION WITH THE VALUATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

The following is the text of a report received from the Company’s independent reporting accountants, BDO Limited, for inclusion in this circular.

To the board of directors of PW Medtech Group Limited

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the calculations of the discounted future estimated cash flows on which the business valuation (the ‘‘Valuation’’) dated January 5, 2022 prepared by Jones Lang LaSalle Corporate Appraisal and Advisory Limited in respect of the appraisal of the fair value of the entire equity interest in Beijing Ruijian High-Tech Biological Technology Co., Ltd. (‘‘Beijing Ruijian’’) as at September 30, 2021 is based. The Valuation is prepared based on the discounted future estimated cash flows and is regarded as a profit forecast under Rule 14.61 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ‘‘Listing Rules’’).

Directors’ Responsibilities

The directors of PW Medtech Group Limited (the ‘‘Directors’’) are responsible for the preparation of the discounted future estimated cash flows in accordance with the bases and assumptions determined by the Directors and as set out in the Valuation (the ‘‘Bases and Assumptions’’). This responsibility includes carrying out appropriate procedures relevant to the preparation of the discounted future estimated cash flows for the Valuation and applying an appropriate basis of preparation; and making estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Our Independence and Quality Control

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the ‘‘Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants’’ issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the ‘‘HKICPA’’), which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behavior. Our firm applies Hong Kong Standard on Quality Control 1 ‘‘Quality Control for Firms that Perform Audits and Reviews of Financial Statements, and Other Assurance and Related Services Engagements’’ issued by the HKICPA and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Reporting Accountants’ Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to report, as required by Rule 14.62(2) of the Listing Rules, on the calculations of the discounted future estimated cash flows on which the Valuation is based.

LETTERS ON PROFIT FORECASTS

APPENDIX VI

We conducted our work in accordance with the Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised) ‘‘Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information’’ issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that we plan and perform our work to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the discounted future estimated cash flows, so far as the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations is concerned, have been properly compiled in accordance with the Bases and Assumptions. We performed procedures on the arithmetic calculations and the compilations of the discounted future estimated cash flows in accordance with the Bases and Assumptions. Our work is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

The discounted future estimated cash flows do not involve the adoption of accounting policies. The discounted future estimated cash flows depend on future events and on a number of assumptions which cannot be confirmed and verified in the same way as past results and not all of which may remain valid throughout the period. Our work has been undertaken for the purpose of reporting solely to you under paragraph 14.62(2) of the Listing Rules and for no other purpose. We accept no responsibility to any other person in respect of, arising out of or in connection with our work.

Opinion

In our opinion, based on the foregoing, so far as the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations is concerned, the discounted future estimated cash flows have been properly compiled in accordance with the Bases and Assumptions adopted by the Directors as set out in the Valuation.

Other Matters

Without modifying our opinion, we draw your attention that we are not reporting on the appropriateness and validity of the Bases and Assumptions on which the discounted future cash flows are based and our work does not constitute any valuation of Beijing Ruijian or an expression of an audit or review opinion on the Valuation.

The preparation of the discounted future estimated cash flows on which the Valuation is based does not involve the adoption of accounting policies. The discounted future cash flows depend on future events and on a number of assumptions which cannot be confirmed and verified in the same way as past results and not all of which may remain valid throughout the period. Our work has been undertaken for the purpose of reporting solely to you under paragraph 14.62(2) of the Listing Rules and for no other purpose. We accept no responsibility to any other party in respect of, arising out of or in connection with our work.

Dear Sirs/Madams,

We have also considered the report from BDO Limited regarding whether the profit forecasts, so far as the calculations are concerned, have been properly complied with the bases and assumptions set out in the valuation report. We have noted that the profit forecasts in the valuation are mathematically accurate and the discounted cash flows will not be affected by accounting policies.

Pursuant to the requirements of Rule 14.62(3) of the Listing Rules, the Board of the Company confirmed that the valuation prepared by the Independent Valuer has been made after due and careful enquiry.

If more than one proxy is so appointed, the appointment shall specify the number and class of shares in respect of which each such proxy is so appointed.

  2. In order to be valid, a form of proxy together with the power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which it is signed or a notarially certified copy of that power or authority, must be deposited at the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong (i.e. Tricor Investor Services Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong) as soon as possible but in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the Meeting (i.e. not later than 10:00 a.m. (Hong Kong time) on Wednesday, March 9, 2022) or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be). Delivery of the form of proxy shall not preclude a member of the Company from attending and voting in person at the Meeting and, in such event, the form of proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.

  3. To attend the EGM, an individual shareholder should bring along his/her identity card, shareholder account card; a proxy should bring along the proxy form, his/her identity card and the identity card of the appointer and the shareholder account card for registration purpose. The representative of the legal person shareholder who attends the meeting should bring along a copy of the business license, the proxy form signed by the legal entity, the shareholder account card and the identity card of the attendee for registration purpose.

  4. To ascertain shareholders’ eligibility to attend and vote at the Meeting, the register of members of the Company will be closed from Tuesday, March 8, 2022 to Friday, March 11, 2022 (both days inclusive), during which period no share transfer will be effected. In order to qualify for attending and voting at the Meeting, unregistered holders of shares of the Company should ensure that all completed transfer forms accompanied by the relevant share certificates are lodged with the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited (at its address shown in Note 2 above) for registration no later than 4:30 p.m. (Hong Kong time), on Monday, March 7, 2022.
