To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

(1) PROPOSED SHARE SUB-DIVISION (2) DISCLOSEABLE AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION DISPOSAL OF VICTOR GOLD INVESTMENTS LIMITED

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 27 November 2015 and 2 December 2015 in relation to, inter alia, (i) the Disposal; and (ii) the proposed Share Sub-division, respectively.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among others, (i) details of the proposed Share Sub-division; (ii) details of the Disposal; (iii) the valuation report on the Property; and (iv) the notice of the EGM.

PROPOSED SHARE SUB-DIVISION

The Board proposes to sub-divide each one (1) existing issued and unissued Share of US$0.0001 each of the Company into four (4) Sub-divided Shares of US$0.000025 each. The board lot size for trading of the Sub-divided Shares will remain unchanged at 2,000 Sub-divided Shares upon the Share Sub-division becoming effective.

* For identification purpose only

7

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the date of this circular, the authorised share capital of the Company is US$50,000 divided into 500,000,000 Shares of US$0.0001 each of which 361,695,000 Shares have been issued and fully paid. Upon the Share Sub-division taking effect, and assuming that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the Share Sub-division becoming effective, the authorised share capital will remain at US$50,000 but will comprise 2,000,000,000 Sub-divided Shares, of which 1,446,780,000 Sub-divided Shares of US$0.000025 each will be in issue.

Conditions of the Share Sub-division

The Share Sub-division is conditional upon:

  • (a) the passing by the Shareholders at the EGM of an ordinary resolution approving the Share Sub-division; and

  • (b) the Listing Committee granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Sub-divided Shares, and any Sub-divided Shares which may be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Share Options granted under the Share Option Scheme and upon the exercise of the conversion rights of the Convertible Notes.

Status of the Sub-divided Shares

The Sub-divided Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other and the Share Sub-division will not result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders.

Application will be made to the Listing Committee for the listing of and the permission to deal in, the Sub-divided Shares in issue and the Sub-divided Shares to be issued pursuant to: (i) the exercise of the conversion rights to the Convertible Notes; and (ii) the subscription rights attaching to the outstanding Share Options and the subscription rights attaching to the Share Options to be granted under the Scheme Mandate.

Subject to the granting of listing of, and permission to deal in, the securities on the Stock Exchange, the securities will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the commencement date of dealings in the subdivided securities on the Stock Exchange or such other date as determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second settlement day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.

Board lots

The existing board lot of 2,000 Shares will remain unchanged upon the Share Sub-division taking place. The value of the current board lot, based on the closing price of HK$4.35 per Share on the Latest Practicable Date, is HK$8,700. Upon the Share Sub-division becoming effective, the expected value of each board lot, based on the closing price of HK$4.35 per Share on 18 December 2015, is expected to decrease to about HK$2,175. The Share Sub-division is not expected to result in any odd lots other than those that already exist.

8

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Free exchange of share certificates

After the Share Sub-division has become effective, Shareholders may submit their existing share certificates for Shares to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited, Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong (“ Branch Registrar ”), during business hours from 13 January 2016 to 23 February 2016 (both dates inclusive), in exchange for the new share certificates for the Sub-divided Shares free of charge. Thereafter, existing certificates for Shares will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such amount as may from time to time prescribed in the Listing Rules) payable to the Company’s share registrar for each existing share certificate or new share certificate, whichever number of certificates is higher and such certificates for existing Shares will cease to be marketable with effect from 9:00 a.m. 20 February 2016 and will not be acceptable for dealing purpose. However, such share certificates will continue to be good evidence of the legal title to the Shares.

In order to distinguish between the existing and the new share certificates, new share certificates for the Sub-divided Shares will be in green colour, which is different from the existing share certificates for the Shares, which are in yellow colour.

It is expected that new share certificates for Sub-divided Shares will be available for collection on or after the tenth Business Day from the dated of submission of the share certificates for the existing Shares to the Branch Registrar at the above address for exchange.

REASONS FOR THE SHARE SUB-DIVISION

The Share Sub-division will decrease the nominal value and increase the total number of Shares in issue. The Share Sub-division will result in a lower trading price for each Share of the Company. As the board lot of the Sub-divided Shares will remain unchanged, the Board believes that the Share Sub-division will lower the market value of each board lot of Shares of the Company and thus lower the monetary hurdle of trading of the Shares of the Company by investors, thus improving the liquidity in trading of the Company’s Sub-divided Shares.

Save for the expenses to be incurred by the Company in relation to the Share Sub-division, the Share Sub-division has no impact on the underlying assets and liabilities, business operations, management or financial position of the Group (other than the expenses in connection therewith) or the proportionate interests of the Shareholders in the Company and their respective voting rights. The Board considers that the Share Sub-division is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

ADJUSTMENT TO THE CONVERSION PRICE OF THE CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND THE SHARE OPTIONS

As at the date of this circular, there are 20,771,000 outstanding Share Options granted by the Company under the Share Option Scheme. 14,180,929 conversion shares are also expected to be issued upon the full conversion of the Convertible Notes based on the current Conversion Price. In accordance with the terms of the Share Option Scheme and the Convertible Notes, respectively, the Company will adjust (i) the exercise price and the number of outstanding Share Options; and (ii) the Conversion Price of the Convertible Notes, upon completion of the Share Sub-division. It is expected that the number of outstanding Share Options granted by the Company under the Share Option Scheme will be increased by a factor of 4 while the exercise price of such Share Options shall be decreased by a factor of 4, and the Conversion Price of the Convertible Notes shall also be decreased by a factor of 4, which is in line with the ratio of the proposed Share Sub-division. The Company will arrange its auditor or an independent financial adviser to certify the adjustments to the above outstanding Share Options and the Conversion Price of the Convertible Notes. Further announcement will be made by the Company regarding the required adjustments upon completion of the Share Sub-division.

THE SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Date: 27 November 2015

Parties: (1) The Company as vendor

  • (2) The Purchaser

The Purchaser is owned as to 50% by Mr. Lau, the Executive Chairman and a controlling shareholder of the Company, and 50% by Madam Li, a non-executive Director and a controlling shareholding of the Company and the spouse of Mr. Lau. As such, the Purchaser is a connected person of the Company for the purpose of the Listing Rules.

The Company has agreed to sell and the Purchaser has agreed to purchase the entire issued share capital of Victor Gold subject to the terms and conditions of the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

Consideration and terms of payment

The total aggregate consideration for the Disposal is HK$70,000,000, which shall be settled by the Purchaser in the following manners:

  • (a) HK$1,000,000 shall be payable in crossed cheque or money order to the Vendor within five (5) Business Days of the date of this Agreement as a refundable deposit;

  • (b) HK$24,000,000 shall be payable in crossed cheque or money order to the Vendor on or before 31 December 2015, or such later date as may be mutually agreed by the Parties but in any event not later than the date of completion as a second refundable deposit; and

  • (c) the remaining balance of HK$45,000,000 shall be paid to the Company upon completion of the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

10

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The total consideration for the Disposal was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the parties to the Sale and Purchase Agreement with reference to the unaudited consolidated net asset value of Victor Gold as at 31 October 2015 and the prevailing market prices of properties of similar nature available in the vicinity of the Property.

The unaudited consolidated net asset value (after elimination of inter-company accounts) of Victor Gold as at 31 October 2015 was approximately HK$45.7 million. As the mortgage bank loan with an outstanding amount of approximately HK$23.1 million as at 31 October 2015 is to be repaid by Gold Prospect prior to completion of the Disposal with funding provided by the Company (the repayment of such inter-company funding by Gold Prospect shall be waived by the Company prior to completion of the Disposal), the corresponding unaudited consolidated liabilities of Victor Gold would be reduced by the same amount accordingly, thus the total unaudited consolidated net asset value (after elimination of intercompany accounts) of Victor Gold as of 31 October 2015 would be increased by the same amount to HK$68.8 million after adjusting for the repayment of the mortgage bank loan, and the consideration of HK$70 million represents a premium of approximately HK$1.2 million over this amount.

The Directors also reviewed the average unit rate based on saleable floor area in TML Tower in comparable transactions completed between August 2015 and November 2015 and the average selling price of car parking spaces in TML Tower in 2015 as set out in the table below:

Property Average unit rate based on saleable floor
area in comparable transactions
(HK$’000 per sq. ft.)
Workshop Unit 6.3
Average selling price per car parking
space in comparable transactions
(HK$ million)
Covered Car Parking Space 1.7
Covered Truck Parking Space 3.7

11

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Based on the above pricing basis, the consideration for the Disposal was arrived at as follows:

Fair value of the Property:
(i)
Workshop Unit
(ii)
Car parking space P60
(iii)
Car parking space P68
(iv)
Car parking space HGV9
Total fair value of the Property:
Leasehold improvements
Other net assets (cash, utility deposits less
payables and assuming outstanding
mortgage loan amount of HK$23.1 million
as of 31 October 2015 has been fully repaid
on or before completion of the Disposal)
Total
Premium
Total consideration:
HK$ millions
60.0
1.7
1.7
3.7
67.1
2.1
0.3
69.5
0.5
70.0

The above calculation shows that the consideration in the Disposal represents a premium over both (i) the total unaudited consolidated net asset value (after elimination of inter-company accounts and adjusted for the repayment of the mortgage bank loan) of Victor Gold as of 31 October 2015; and (ii) the fair market value of the Property plus leasehold improvements and other net asset value of Victor Gold and its subsidiaries after adjusting for the repayment of the mortgage bank loan. Therefore, the consideration in the Disposal represents a premium over the value of the assets being disposed of as assessed by both (i) the book value method and (ii) the fair market value method.

The Company did not consider disposing of Victor Gold to an independent third party for the following reasons:

  • (1) disposal of Victor Gold to an independent third party would substantially increase the uncertainty of the Group to be able to continue to use part of the Property as its headquarters for its toy OEM and information technology businesses as an independent third party buyer may not necessarily agree for the Group to continue to use the Property. The Group would also need to incur renovation and relocation costs if it were to relocate to a new premise after the Completion of the Disposal;

12

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (2) as Qualiman Technology, which is a subsidiary of Victor Gold, used to be an operating company in the toy OEM business of the Group, an independent third party property buyer who is unfamiliar with the history of Victor Gold and its various subsidiaries might find it unappealing to buy the Property through acquiring Victor Gold and its other subsidiaries at the same time. On the other hand, disposing of the Property by the Group directly would have led to a substantial amount of stamp duty of about HK$6 million being levied on the Group;

  • (3) disposal of Victor Gold to the Purchaser would save the Group the agency commission of about 1% of the value of the Property which would normally have been charged if the Property was disposed of to an independent third party buyer through a real estate agent; and

  • (4) the deposits payable upon signing a formal sale and purchase agreement for a property with an independent third party buyer would normally be just about 10% of the total transaction value, while in the case of the Disposal, a total of about 35.7% of the total consideration would be paid on or before 31 December 2015 by the Purchaser as refundable deposits which would facilitate the repayment of the outstanding mortgage loan and provide additional working capital to the Group.

As such, the Directors are of the view that the terms of the Disposal were concluded after arm’s length negotiations and are in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Conditions precedent to the Sale and Purchase Agreement and Completion

The Sale and Purchase Agreement is conditional upon the fulfillment (or waiver) of the following conditions, amongst others:

  • (i) the compliance by the Company of all applicable requirements of the Listing Rules in relation to the Disposal, including where necessary, the obtaining of the Independent Shareholders’ approval of the Company with respect to the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Disposal;

  • (ii) if applicable, the obtaining of all other consents, approvals and authorizations in relation to the Disposal as contemplated under the Sale and Purchase Agreement; and

  • (iii) the repayment of the existing liabilities of Victor Gold and its subsidiaries with an outstanding amount of mortgage loan secured by the Property of about HK$23.1 million as of 31 October 2015 by Gold Prospect on or before Completion.

As of the Latest Practicable Date, none of the above conditions precedent has been fulfilled yet.

13

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Unless otherwise agreed by the parties to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, completion of the Disposal shall take place within five (5) business days following the day on which all the conditions precedent to the completion of the Disposal set out above have been fulfilled or waived (as the case may be). If the conditions above have not been fulfilled or waived (as the case may be, other than condition (i) above which cannot be waived) on or before 31 March 2016 or such other date as the parties may agree in writing, the Sale and Purchase Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and cease to have any effect whatsoever save for any antecedent breach, upon which the Company shall return the refundable deposits already paid to the Company (without cost and interest) to the Purchaser within five (5) business days of the date of termination of the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The unaudited net asset value (after elimination of inter-company accounts) of Victor Gold, Gold Prospect, New Splendid and Qualiman Technology as at 31 October 2015 was approximately nil, HK$34.9 million, nil and nil, respectively. On consolidation, an additional HK$10.8 million was recognised as property, plant and equipment of Victor Gold which arose from its acquisition of Gold Prospect as the fair value of the consideration over the net asset value of Gold Prospect acquired at the time less accumulated depreciation. Therefore, the total unaudited consolidated net asset value (after elimination of inter-company accounts) of Victor Gold was HK$45.7 million, which included HK$23.1 million of mortgage bank loan to be repaid on or before completion of the Disposal. As the mortgage bank loan is to be repaid by Gold Prospect prior to completion of the Disposal with funding provided by the Company (the repayment of such inter-company funding by Gold Prospect shall be waived by the Company prior to completion of the Disposal), the corresponding unaudited consolidated liabilities of Victor Gold would be reduced by the same amount accordingly, and therefore, after adjusting for such repayment of the mortgage bank loan on or before completion of the Disposal, the total unaudited consolidated net asset value (after elimination of inter-company accounts) of Victor Gold as of 31 October 2015 would increase by the same amount to HK$68.8 million.

Upon completion of the Disposal, Victor Gold, Gold Prospect, New Splendid and Qualiman Technology will cease to be subsidiaries of the Company.

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL

Taking into consideration the net carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of Victor Gold, Gold Prospect, New Splendid and Qualiman Technology, and the repayment of the mortgage loan secured by the Property on or before completion, it is estimated that a gain of approximately HK$1.0 million will be booked by the Company as a result of the Disposal. Save as disclosed herein otherwise, the completion of the Disposal is not expected to have a significant effect on the business and performance of the Group.

The net proceeds from the Disposal shall be used by the Group for repayment of the mortgage secured by the Property and other loans of the Group, the expansion of the businesses of the Crosby Group and general working capital purposes.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

The Group is engaged in three core business segments: the toy OEM business, the information technology business and the financial services business.

The Group’s toy division manufactures products for its customers according to their specifications and the products are sold by its toy customers under their own brand names. The Group’s key toy customers mainly comprise internationally reputable toy brands. Headquartered in Hong Kong, the Group has a production base which is located in Foshan, Guangdong Province, the People’s Republic of China. The Group’s information technology business is conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the PMT Group, which is engaged in the development and provision of electronic publishing technologies, the development of mobile applications and other information technology solutions. The Group’s financial services business is conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Crosby Group, which is engaged in the businesses of the provision of brokerage services, securities margin financing, principal finance, investment advisory, advising on corporate finance and asset management.

16

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Group has owned the Property since January 2014 as its headquarters for its toy OEM and information technology businesses. Having considered the current market expectation on interest rate movement in the U.S. and the change in sentiment towards the property sector in Hong Kong, the Directors are of the view that the Disposal provides an opportunity for the Group to monetise the value of the Property before any further reversal of market trends is crystallized. The Disposal will also provide more liquidity for repayment of loans of the Group, for new business developments and general working capital of the Group by freeing up capital locked up in non-core fixed assets.

As Qualiman Technology is no longer in active business, the disposal of Qualiman Technology and New Splendid, the offshore holding company of Qualiman Technology, allows the Group to remove any ongoing maintenance and potential liquidation costs for these inactive vehicles and streamline the Group’s structure.

The Directors, including the independent non-executive Directors, consider the terms of the Disposal are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. As Mr. Lau and Madam Li have material interests in the Disposal, they have abstained from voting in the Board meeting approving the Disposal.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATION OF THE SHARE SUB-DIVISION AND THE DISPOSAL

The Share Sub-division is conditional on the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM.

To the best of the knowledge, belief and information of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder is required under the Listing Rules to abstain from voting on the resolution regarding the Share Sub-division at the EGM.

The Disposal constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules as the applicable percentage ratios as defined under Rule 14.06 of the Listing Rules are more than 5% but less than 25%. The Disposal also constitutes a connected transaction under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules as the Purchaser is owned as to 50% by Mr. Lau, the Executive Chairman and a controlling shareholder of the Company, and 50% by Madam Li, a non-executive Director and a controlling shareholding of the Company and the spouse of Mr. Lau. Therefore, the Disposal is subject to the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules. As each of Mr. Lau and Madam Li has a material interest in the Disposal, Mr. Lau, Madam Li and Smart Investor, in which Mr. Lau, and Madam Li are or deemed to be the controlling shareholders, which together own 33.8% of the issued share capital of the Company as of the Latest Practicable Date, shall abstain from voting at on the resolution to approve the Disposal at the EGM. There are no other associates of Mr. Lau, Madam Li and Smart Investor which hold voting rights of the Company and hence are required to abstain from voting at the EGM. Both Mr. Lau and Madam Li have also abstained from voting at the Board meeting approving the Disposal.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, save as disclosed herein, to the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, there is no other Shareholder who has a material interest in the Disposal whereby the Shareholder and his associates will be required to abstain from voting on the resolution to be proposed at the EGM.

17

Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from subsequently attending and voting at the meeting or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be), should you so wish.

To the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders of

Quali-Smart Holdings Limited

Dear Sir or Madam,

DISCLOSEABLE AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION DISPOSAL OF VICTOR GOLD INVESTMENTS LIMITED

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, details of the Disposal are set out in the letter from the Board (the “ Board Letter ”) contained in the circular dated 23 December 2015 (the “ Circular ”) to the Shareholders, of which this letter forms part. Terms used herein have the same meanings as those defined in the Circular unless the context requires otherwise.

On 27 November 2015 (after trading hours), the Company, as vendor, and the Purchaser entered into the Sale and Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sell and the Purchaser has agreed to purchase the entire issued share capital of Victor Gold for a total aggregate consideration of HK$70,000,000.

The Disposal constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules as the applicable percentage ratios as defined under Rule 14.06 of the Listing Rules are more than 5% but less than 25%. The Disposal also constitutes a connected transaction under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules as the Purchaser is owned as to 50% by Mr. Lau, the Executive Chairman and a controlling shareholder of the Company, and 50% by Madam Li, a non-executive Director and a controlling shareholding of the Company and the spouse of Mr. Lau. Therefore, the Disposal is subject to the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules. As each of Mr. Lau and Madam Li has a material interest in the Disposal, Mr. Lau, Madam Li and Smart Investor, in which Mr. Lau, and Madam Li are or deemed to be the controlling shareholders, which together own 33.8% of the issued share capital of the Company as of the Latest Practicable Date, shall

LETTER FROM VEDA CAPITAL LIMITED

abstain from voting on the resolution to approve the Disposal at the EGM. There are no other associates of Mr. Lau, Madam Li and Smart Investor which hold voting rights of the Company and hence are required to abstain from voting at the EGM. Both Mr. Lau and Madam Li have also abstained from voting at the Board meeting approving the Disposal.

The Independent Board Committee, comprising Mr. Leung Po Wing, Bowen Joseph GBS JP , Mr. Chan Siu Wing, Raymond, Mr. Wong Wah On, Edward, all being the independent non-executive Directors, has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders as to (i) whether the Disposal is in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole; (ii) whether the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned; and (iii) their recommendation as to how the Independent Shareholders should vote in respect of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. We have been appointed to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in these regards.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, we were not aware of any relationships or interest between us and the Company or any other parties that could be reasonably be regarded as hindrance to our independence as defined under Rule 13.84 of the Listing Rules to act as the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. We are not associated with the Company, its subsidiaries, its associates or their respective substantial shareholders or associates, and accordingly, are eligible to give independent advice and recommendations on the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. Apart from normal professional fees payable to us in connection with this appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders, no arrangement exists whereby we will receive any fees from the Company, its subsidiaries, its associates or their respective substantial shareholders or associates.

We have assumed that all statements, information and representations made or referred to in the Circular and all information and representations which have been provided by the Company, the Directors and the management of the Company, for which they are solely and wholly responsible for, were true at the time they were made and continue to be true as at the Latest Practicable Date. We have also assumed that all statements of belief, opinion and intention made by the Directors in the Circular were reasonably made after due and careful enquiry and were based on honestly-held opinions.

The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in the Circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or the Circular misleading.

We have not, however, conducted any independent in-depth investigation into the business affairs, financial position or future prospects of the Group, nor have we carried out any independent verification of the information provided by the Directors and the management of the Company.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In giving our recommendation to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons:

1. Financial information of the Group

The Group is engaged in three core business segments: the toy OEM business (the “ Toy Division ”), the information technology business and the financial services business.

For the six months period ended 30 September 2015

As set out in the interim results announcement of the Company for the six months period ended 30 September 2015 (the “ IR Announcement 2015 ”), the Group recorded an unaudited revenue of approximately HK$507.0 million for the six-months ended 30 September 2015, representing a slight decrease of approximately 3.0% as compared with the turnover of approximately HK$522.6 million for the six months ended 30 September 2014. As stated in the IR Announcement 2015, the slight decline in revenue was due to the drop in sales to some of the Group’s toy division’s top 5 customers.

The loss attributable to owners of the Company for the six months ended 30 September 2015 was approximately HK$0.4 million, as opposed to a profit attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$16.8 million for the six months ended 30 September 2014. As stated in the IR Announcement 2015, the record of loss for the six months ended 30 September 2015 is mainly due to a decrease in revenue of the Group approximately 3.0% when compared with the six months ended 30 September 2014 leading to a decrease in gross profit of approximately HK$5.7 million, consolidated segmental loss of approximately HK$7.3 million arising from consolidating the results of the IT division, amortisation of intangible assets arising from the acquisition of the PMT Group of approximately HK$4.4 million; additional finance costs of approximately HK$2.2 million arising from the convertible bonds and promissory notes issued for the acquisition of the PMT Group and an increase in staff costs of approximately HK$3.1 million arising from the equity settled share-based payment expenses related to the additional grant of share options.

22

LETTER FROM VEDA CAPITAL LIMITED

For the year ended 31 March 2015

As set out in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2015 (the “ AR 2015 ”), the Group recorded a revenue of approximately HK$829.0 million for the year ended 31 March 2015, representing an increase of approximately 7.2% as compared with the turnover of approximately HK$773.2 million for the year ended 31 March 2014. As stated in the AR 2015, the increase in the revenue was mainly contributed by the toy division’s revenue of approximately HK$827.8 million, which represented an increase of approximately 7.1% from that for the year ended 31 March 2014 of approximately HK$773.2 million. The modest increase in revenue was due to an increase in sales of some of the Toy Division’s top 5 customers. Revenue from North America remained relatively steady at approximately HK$433.8 million for the year ended 31 March 2015 when compared to approximately HK$430.4million for the year ended 31 March 2014, representing an increase of 0.8%. Revenue from Western Europe increased from approximately HK$243.2 million for the year ended 31 March 2014 to approximately HK$267.7million for the year ended 31 March 2015, due to the increase in sales in United Kingdom and other European countries. Sales to customers in new developing regions, namely South America and mainland China and Taiwan, increased substantially by approximately HK$10.7 million and HK$16.3 million, respectively, representing an increase of 77.3% and 74.9% in a comparison of the year ended 31 March 2014.

The loss attributable to owners of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2015 was approximately HK$3.7 million, as opposed to a net profit of approximately HK$20.2 million for the year ended 31 March 2014. As outlined in the AR 2015, the loss was mainly due to an increase in administrative expenses by 38.5% from approximately HK$49.1 million for the year ended 31 March 2014 to approximately HK$68.0 million for year ended 31 March 2015 due to (i) the oneoff provision for impairment loss on trade receivables for approximately HK$12.0 million; (ii) the additional depreciation charge on property, plant and equipment for approximately HK$1.8 million; (iii) an increase in staff costs mainly resulted from the equity settled share-based payment expenses related to the grant of share options for approximately HK$2.1 million; and(iv) the amortisation of intangible assets for approximately HK$2.5 million. Besides, finance costs increased by 107.7% to approximately HK$5.1 million for the year ended 31 March 2015 as compared to approximately HK$2.5 million for the year ended 31 March 2014, which is primarily due to additional finance costs of approximately HK$0.4 million for the property newly acquired in the previous year and the effective interest of the convertible notes and promissory notes newly issued by the Company for the year ended 31 March 2015 of approximately HK$1.3 million.

23

LETTER FROM VEDA CAPITAL LIMITED

For the year ended 31 March 2014

As set out in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2014 (the “ AR 2014 ”), the Group’s revenue for the year ended 31 March 2014 was approximately HK$773.2 million, representing a minor decrease of 2.6% as compared to approximately HK$794.1 million for the year ended 31 March 2013. The decrease in revenue was mainly due to the decrease in sales orders from one of the top 10 customers during 2014 and several other smaller customers which discontinued placing orders with their suppliers, including the Group. In 2014, the Group was in a great pressure in maintaining the gross profit margin because of the appreciation of Renminbi resulting in the increase in material and production labour costs and a general tightening of pricing of the Group’s customers arising from competitions from e-commerce distribution channels.

The Group’s net profit for the year ended 31 March 2014 decreased by 11.0% from approximately HK$22.7 million for the year ended 31 March 2013 to approximately HK$20.2 million for the year ended 31 March 2014. The decrease was mainly due to a drop in gross profit and the write-off of an amount due from an insolvent customer of approximately HK$2.3 million.

LETTER FROM VEDA CAPITAL LIMITED

The unaudited net asset value (after elimination of inter-company accounts) of Victor Gold, Gold Prospect, New Splendid and Qualiman Technology as at 31 October 2015 was approximately nil, HK$34.9 million, nil and nil, respectively. On consolidation, an additional HK$10.8 million was recognised as property, plant and equipment of Victor Gold which arose from its acquisition of Gold Prospect as the fair value of the consideration over the net asset value of Gold Prospect acquired at the time less accumulated depreciation. We have obtained and reviewed the management accounts of the Target Companies for the period ended 31 October 2015 and noted that the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Target Companies was HK$45.7 million, which included HK$23.1 million of mortgage bank loans including the interest to be repaid on or before completion of the Disposal. As the mortgage bank loan is to be repaid by Gold Prospect prior to completion of the Disposal, with funding provided by the Company (the repayment of such inter-company funding by Gold Prospect shall be waived by the Company prior to completion of the Disposal), the corresponding unaudited consolidated liabilities of Victor Gold would be reduced by the same amount accordingly, and therefore, after adjusting for such repayment of the mortgage bank loan on or before completion of the Disposal, the total unaudited consolidated net asset value (after elimination of inter-company accounts) of the Target Companies as at 31 October 2015 would increase by the same amount to HK$68.8 million.

Upon completion of the Disposal, the Target Companies will cease to be subsidiaries of the Company.

3. Reasons for and benefits of the Disposal

The Group’s Toy Division manufactures products for its customers according to their specifications and the products sold by its toy customers under their own brand names. The Group’s key toy customers mainly comprise internationally reputable toy brands. Headquartered in Hong Kong, the Group has a production base which is located in Foshan, Guangdong Province, the People’s Republic of China. The Group’s information technology business is conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the PMT Group, which is engaged in the development and provision of electronic publishing technologies, the development of mobile applications and other information technology solutions. The Group’s financial services business is conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Crosby Group, which is engaged in provision of brokerage services, securities margin financing, principal finance, investment advisory, advising on corporate finance and asset management.

The Group has owned the Property since January 2014 as its headquarters for its toy OEM and information technology businesses. Having considered the current market expectation on interest rate movement in the U.S. and the change in sentiment towards the property sector in Hong Kong, the Directors are of the view that the Disposal provides an opportunity for the Group to monetise the value of the Property before any further reversal of market trends is crystallized. The Disposal will also provide more liquidity for repayment of loans of the Group for new business developments and general working capital of the Group by freeing up capital locked up in non-core fixed assets.

We have reviewed “Half-Yearly Monetary and Financial Stability Report” released in 2015, source: Hong Kong Monetary Authority, (http://www.hkma.gov.hk/) and as mentioned in the report as the underlying strength of domestic demand in the US economy remains solid and as a result, the disinflationary impact on US inflation may not be long-lasting compared to other major advanced

26

LETTER FROM VEDA CAPITAL LIMITED

economies, recent global developments would only delay but unlikely derail the monetary policy normalisation process in the US. Indeed, as recently admitted by the Federal Reserve’s Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer that because monetary policy influences real activity with a substantial lag, the Federal Reserve should not wait until inflation is back to 2% to begin tightening. The report also illustrates the non-residential property market in Hong Kong that prices and rentals of non-residential properties will largely hinge on business prospects and interest rate developments. In particular, the prices and rentals of retail space, especially at prime locations, will face headwinds from the weak retail sales outlook. Slower economic growth and a possible decline in rentals, together with expectation of interest rate hikes, could exert downward pressure on capital values of non-residential properties.

As advised by the Company, as Qualiman Technology is no longer in active business, the disposal of Qualiman Technology and New Splendid, the offshore holding company of Qualiman Technology, allows the Group to remove any ongoing maintenance and potential liquidation costs for these inactive vehicles and streamline the Group’s structure.

As further outlined in the Board Letter, the Target Companies recorded a net loss attributable to the Group for both financial years ended 31 March in 2014 and 2015. The Disposal will however make a positive contribution to the cash flow of the Company and help reduce the Group’s bank borrowings and finance costs.

The Directors, including the independent non-executive Directors, consider the terms of the Disposal are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. As Mr. Lau and Madam Li have material interests in the Disposal, they have abstained from voting in the Board meeting approving the Disposal.

Taking into consideration of (i) the Disposal provides an opportunity for the Group to monetise the value of the Property before any further reversal of market trends is crystallized; (ii) the highly uncertain trend in U.S. interest rate and the downward pressure on non-residential properties; (iii) the Disposal will also provide more liquidity for repayment of loans of the Group for new business developments and general working capital of the Group by freeing up capital locked up in non-core fixed assets; and (iv) the Disposal will make a positive contribution to the cash flow of the Company and help reduce the Group’s bank borrowings and finance costs, we are of the view that the Disposal is in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

4. Terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement

Highlighted below are the principal terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement:

(a) Date: 27 November 2015

(b) Parties: (1) The Company as vendor

  • (2) The Purchaser

27

LETTER FROM VEDA CAPITAL LIMITED

The Purchaser is owned as to 50% by Mr. Lau, the Executive Chairman and a controlling shareholder of the Company, and 50% by Madam Li, a non-executive Director and a controlling shareholding of the Company and the spouse of Mr. Lau. As such, the Purchaser is a connected person of the Company for the purpose of the Listing Rules.

The Company has agreed to sell and the Purchaser has agreed to purchase the entire issued share capital of Victor Gold subject to the terms and conditions of the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

(c) Consideration and terms of payment

The total aggregate consideration for the Disposal is HK$70,000,000 (the “ Consideration ”), which shall be settled by the Purchaser in the following manners:

  • (i) HK$1,000,000 shall be payable in crossed cheque or money order to the Vendor within five (5) Business Days of the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement as a refundable deposit;

  • (ii) HK$24,000,000 shall be payable in crossed cheque or money order to the Vendor on or before 31 December 2015, or such later date as may be mutually agreed by the Parties but in any event not later than the date of completion as a second refundable deposit; and

  • (iii) the remaining balance of HK$45,000,000 shall be paid to the Company upon completion of the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

As stated in the Board Letter, the Consideration for the Disposal was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the parties to the Sale and Purchase Agreement with reference to the unaudited consolidated net asset value of Victor Gold as at 31 October 2015 and the prevailing market prices of properties of similar nature available in the vicinity of the Property.

The unaudited consolidated net asset value (after elimination of inter-company accounts) of Victor Gold as at 31 October 2015 was approximately HK$45.7 million. As the mortgage bank loan with an outstanding amount of approximately HK$23.1 million as at 31 October 2015 is to be repaid by Gold Prospect prior to completion of the Disposal, with funding provided by the Company (the repayment of such inter-company funding by Gold Prospect shall be waived by the Company prior to completion of the Disposal), the corresponding unaudited consolidated liabilities of Victor Gold would be reduced by the same amount accordingly, thus the total unaudited consolidated net asset value (after elimination of inter-company accounts) of Victor Gold as of 31 October 2015 would be increased by the same amount to HK$68.8 million after adjusting for the repayment of the mortgage bank loan, and the consideration of HK$70 million represents a premium of approximately HK$1.2 million over this amount.

28

LETTER FROM VEDA CAPITAL LIMITED

The Directors also reviewed the average unit rate based on saleable floor area in TML Tower in comparable transactions completed between August 2015 and November 2015 and the average selling price of car parking spaces in TML Tower in 2015 as set out in the table below:

Property Average unit rate based on saleable floor

(HK$’000 per sq. ft.)
Workshop Unit 6.3
Average selling price per car parking
space in comparable transactions
(HK$ million)
Covered Car Parking Space 1.7
Covered Truck Parking Space 3.7

Based on the above pricing basis, the consideration for the Disposal was arrived at as follows:

Fair value of the Property:
(i)

(ii)
Car parking space P60
(iii)
Car parking space P68
(iv)
Car parking space HGV9
Total fair value of the Property:

LETTER FROM VEDA CAPITAL LIMITED

The above calculation shows that the consideration in the Disposal represents a premium over both (i) the total unaudited consolidated net asset value (after elimination of inter-company accounts and adjusted for the repayment of the mortgage bank loan) of Victor Gold as of 31 October 2015; and (ii) the fair market value of the Property plus leasehold improvements and other net asset value of Victor Gold and its subsidiaries after adjusting for the repayment of the mortgage bank loan. Therefore, the consideration in the Disposal represents a premium over the value of the assets being disposed of as assessed by both (i) the book value method and (ii) the fair market value method.

As advised by the Company, the mortgage bank loan with an outstanding amount of approximately HK$23.1 million as at 31 October 2015 is the underlying mortgage of the Property and should be repaid by Gold Prospect prior to completion of the Disposal. As the mortgage bank loan is related to the Property, we are of the view that it is reasonable for the Company to settle the mortgage bank loan and transfer such cost to the Purchaser and therefore, we are of the view that the Consideration of HK$70 million, which has taken into account of the mortgage, is fair and reasonable.

Furthermore, we noted that there is a difference of approximately HK$2.9 million between the Consideration of HK$70.0 million and the total fair value of the Property of HK$67.1 million. However, as illustrated in the above table and advised by the Company, the Disposal comprises not only the Property but also the entire interests of the Target Companies and therefore the Company has also taken into account of other assets of the Target Companies such as cash, utility deposits less payables and assuming outstanding mortgage loan amount as of 31 October 2015 has been fully repaid when determining the Consideration. Based on above table, there is a premium of HK$0.5 million offered by the Purchaser and therefore, we are of the view that the Consideration is fair and reasonable.

As further noted from the Board Letter, the Company did not consider disposing of Victor Gold to an independent third party for the following reasons:

  • (1) disposal of Victor Gold to an independent third party would substantially increase the uncertainty of the Group to be able to continue to use part of the Property as its headquarters for its toy OEM and information technology businesses as an independent third party buyer may not necessarily agree for the Group to continue to use the Property. The Group would also need to incur renovation and relocation costs if it were to relocate to a new premise after the Completion of the Disposal;

  • (2) as Qualiman Technology, which is a subsidiary of Victor Gold, used to be an operating company in the toy OEM business of the Group, an independent third party property buyer who is unfamiliar with the history of Victor Gold and its various subsidiaries might find it unappealing to buy the Property through acquiring Victor Gold and its other subsidiaries at the same time. On the other hand, disposing of the Property by the Group directly would have led to a substantial amount of stamp duty of about HK$6 million being levied on the Group;

30

LETTER FROM VEDA CAPITAL LIMITED

  • (3) disposal of Victor Gold to the Purchaser would save the Group the agency commission of about 1% of the value of the Property which would normally have been charged if the Property was disposed of to an independent third party buyer through a real estate agent; and

  • (4) the deposits payable upon signing a formal sale and purchase agreement for a property with an independent third party buyer would normally be just about 10% of the total transaction value, while in the case of the Disposal, a total of about 35.7% of the total consideration would be paid on or before 31 December 2015 by the Purchaser as refundable deposits which would facilitate the repayment of the outstanding mortgage loan and provide additional working capital to the Group.

As such, the Directors are of the view that the terms of the Disposal were concluded after arm’s length negotiations and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Consideration, we have obtained and reviewed the valuation report regarding the valuation on the Property under the Disposal conducted by the Independent Valuer. We noted that the Independent Valuer, in arriving the market value of the Property, which 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”, has adopted the comparison approach assuming sale in the Property’s existing state with the benefit of vacant possession and made reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant market.

We had discussed with the Independent Valuer regarding, amongst others, the basis and assumptions made and the methodology adopted in conducting the valuation of the Property of HK$67,100,000 (the “ Valuation ”). We understand that comparison approach is considered as the most appropriate methodology in valuing the market value of properties. The Independent Valuer has made references to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant market and appropriate adjustments have also been made to account for the differences between the Property and the comparables in terms of location, time, age, floor level, size, aspect, view and other relevant factors.

For our due diligence purpose, we have reviewed and enquired into (i) the terms of engagement of the Independent Valuer with the Company; (ii) the Independent Valuer’s qualification and experience in relation to the preparation of the valuation report; (iii) the works done by the Independent Valuer for conducting the valuation; and (iv) the Independent Valuer’s independence confirmation. Upon reviewing the engagement letter and other relevant information provided by the Independent Valuer and the Company, we also noted that the authorized person of the Independent Valuer, Ms. Joannau W.F. Chan, possesses extensive experience in providing a wide array of professional valuation and consultancy services for landed properties in the industry in connection with listing, asset valuations for accounting use, corporate financing and merger and acquisition purposes. Therefore, we are satisfied with the terms of engagement of the Independent Valuer as well as the qualification and experience of the Independent Valuer for preparation of the valuation report. We also noted that the scope of work is appropriate to the opinion required to be given and we are not aware of any limitation on the scope of work which might have an adverse impact on the degree of assurance given by the valuation report.

31

LETTER FROM VEDA CAPITAL LIMITED

The Independent Valuer has confirmed the independence to the Group and to the connected persons of the parties of the Sale and Purchase Agreement. We have also reviewed the market comparables selected by the Independent Valuer (“ Market Comparables ”) and discussed with the Independent Valuer regarding the selection method for the Market Comparables and the calculations to arrive at the Valuation. We are given to understand that the Valuation is based on the average of the adjusted unit rate of the workshop unit and adjusted market value of the car parking spaces chosen by the Independent Valuer, on the ground that they are all located in the same building of the Property, with similar nature and business purposes. Therefore, we noted the Market Comparables are of similar nature and size of the Property and the market range of the prices arrived at by the Independent Valuer based on the Market Comparables is fair and reasonable.

During our discussion with the Independent Valuer regarding the basis and assumptions of the Valuation and upon reviewing the information provided by the Independent Valuer, we have not found any material facts which may lead us to doubt the principal basis and assumptions adopted for or the information used in the Valuation.

Based on the abovementioned studies on the valuation report and the information provided by the Independent Valuer and the discussion with the Independent Valuer, we are of the view that the basis, assumptions and methodology adopted in connected with the Valuation are appropriate. We therefore consider that the Valuation acts as a fair indication to the market value of the Property.

As advised by the Company, the Property is for the Company’s self-use but not an investment property hence the Property had been booked at “cost less accumulated depreciation” method and should not be revalued based on market condition. The Valuation performed by the Independent Valuer is mainly to ascertain whether if the Consideration is fair or not. Based on Target Companies’ management accounts as at 31 October 2015, we noted the Company’s preliminary estimation of the gain on disposal of the Property is approximately HK$1 million.

Having further considered that, (i) the continuous loss record of the Target Companies for both years ended 31 March 2014 and 2015; (ii) the Independent Valuer has taken into account of the fairness and reasonableness of the Property under the Disposal; (iii) the terms of engagement of the Independent Valuer as well as the qualification and experience of the Independent Valuer for preparation of the valuation report; and (iv) the Disposal can generate a gain of approximately HK$1 million, we consider that the Disposal is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

5. Financial effects of the Disposal

Effects on earnings

Upon Completion, the Target Companies will no longer be subsidiaries of the Group and the results of the Target Companies will cease to be consolidated into the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Taking into consideration the net carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of Victor Gold, Gold Prospect, New Splendid and Qualiman Technology, and the repayment of the mortgage loan secured by the Property on or before completion, it is estimated that a gain of

32

LETTER FROM VEDA CAPITAL LIMITED

approximately HK$1.0 million will be booked by the Company as a result of the Disposal. Save as disclosed herein otherwise, the completion of the Disposal is not expected to have a significant effect on the business and performance of the Group.

Effect on net assets

Upon Completion, the Group’s net assets will (i) increase by the amount of the net proceeds from the Disposal; and (ii) offset by the decrease in the unaudited net assets of the Target Companies as at the date of completion of the Disposal, as the Group will no longer consolidate the financial position of the Target Companies to the Group’s consolidated accounts.

Effect on the working capital

The net proceeds from the Disposal shall be used by the Group for repayment of the mortgage secured by the Property and other loans of the Group, the expansion of the businesses of the Crosby Group and general working capital purposes.

RECOMMENDATION

Notwithstanding that the Disposal is not in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company, having considered the above principal factors and reasons, we are of the view that (i) the Disposal is in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole; and (ii) the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Shareholders and advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Independent Shareholders, to vote in favour of the resolution to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of Veda Capital Limited Hans Wong Julisa Fong Chairman Managing Director

The Directors

Quali-Smart Holdings Limited

Workshop C, 19th Floor TML Tower No. 3 Hoi Shing Road Tsuen Wan, New Territories Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

INSTRUCTIONS

We refer to the instructions from Quali-Smart Holdings Limited (the “ Company ”) for us to value the properties held by the Company and/or its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “ Group ”) located in Hong Kong. We confirm that we have conducted inspections, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market values of the properties as at 27 November 2015 (the “ valuation date ”).

BASIS OF VALUATION

Our valuations of the properties will be based on the Market Value, which 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”.

VALUATION METHODOLOGY

In valuing the properties held by the Group, we have valued them on market basis by the Comparison Approach assuming sale in their existing state with the benefit of vacant possession and by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant market. Appropriate adjustments have then been made to account for the differences between the properties and the comparables in terms of location, time, age, floor level, size, aspect, view and other relevant factors.

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX I

TITLE INVESTIGATION

We have caused land searches to be made at the Land Registry and have been advised by the Group that no further relevant documents have been produced. However, we have neither examined the original documents to verify ownership nor to ascertain the existence of any amendments, which do not appear on the copies handed to us. All documents have been used for reference only.

VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

Our valuations have been made on the assumption that the properties are sold in the market without the benefit of deferred terms contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any other similar arrangement which would serve to affect the values of the properties.

In addition, no account has been taken of any option or right of pre-emption concerning or affecting the sale of the properties and no forced sale situation in any manner is assumed in our valuations.

VALUATION CONSIDERATIONS

Inspections of the properties were conducted by Ms. Krain Li (MSc in Construction and Real Estate) in November 2015. We have inspected the exterior and wherever possible, the interior of the properties. During the course of our inspections, we did not note any serious defects. However, no structural surveys have been made. We are, therefore, unable to report whether the properties are free from rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No tests were carried out on any of the services.

In the course of our valuations, we have relied to a considerable extent on the information given by the Group and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenures, particulars of occupancy, floor areas, identifications of the properties and all other relevant information.

We have not carried out detailed on-site measurements to verify the correctness of the floor areas in respect of the properties but have assumed that the floor areas shown on the documents handed to us are correct. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificates are based on information contained in the documents provided to us and are therefore only approximations.

We have no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Group and we have relied on your advice that no material facts have been omitted from the information provided. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information for us to reach an informed view.

No allowance has been made in our valuations for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the properties or for any expenses or taxation, which may be incurred in effecting a sale or purchase.

Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature, which could affect their values.
