LETTER FROM THE BOARD

III. Reasons for and Benefits of the Transaction

Based on the established long-term cooperation relationship between the Redsun Services Group and the Group, Redsun Services Group has a track record of providing reliable, efficient and satisfactory pre-delivery property management services to the Group. As compared to other services providers who are independent third parties of the Company, it generally has better and more efficient communications with the Group and more thorough understanding of the conditions of our property projects and the Group’s requirements of the services needed. Taking into account the above factors, the entering into of the New Property Management Services Master Framework Agreement and the terms and conditions thereof are in line with the business needs and commercial objectives of the Group.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms of the New Property Management Services Master Framework Agreement were determined through arm’s length negotiations amongst the parties thereto, are fair and reasonable and are based on normal commercial terms, and that the entering into of the New Property Management Services Master Framework Agreement is in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

V. Directors’ Confirmation

The New Property Management Services Master Framework Agreement

Since one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the proposed annual caps in respect of the Property Management Services under the New Property Management Services Master Framework Agreement for the three years ending 31 December 2025 exceed 5%, the transactions contemplated thereunder will be subject to the reporting, annual review, announcement, circular and the independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Dear Sirs/Madams,

CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the provision of the Property Management Services by Redsun Services Group to the Group under the New Property Management Services Master Framework Agreement (the ‘‘Continuing Connected Transactions’’) and the proposed annual caps of the Continuing Connected Transactions for the three years ending 31 December 2025 (the ‘‘Proposed Annual Caps’’), details of which are set out in the letter from the Board (the ‘‘Board Letter’’) contained in the circular issued by the Company to its Shareholders dated 10 February 2023 (the ‘‘Circular’’), of which this letter forms part. Capitalised terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Circular unless the context otherwise requires.

As mentioned in the Board Letter, it is expected that the Group will from time to time continue to enter into transactions of a nature similar to the Existing Property Management Services Master Framework Agreement after the expiry of the aforesaid agreements on 31 December 2022. Accordingly, the Group now seeks to enter into relevant new agreements on substantially the same terms and has entered into the New Property Management Services Master Framework Agreement on 8 December 2022 (after trading hours).

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Redsun Services is indirectly held as to 72.77% by Mr. Zeng, a controlling Shareholder and an executive Director. Accordingly, Redsun Services is an associate of Mr. Zeng and therefore a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the transactions contemplated under the New Property Management Services Master Framework Agreement constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

THE INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE

The Independent Board Committee (the ‘‘IBC’’), comprising Mr. Lee Kwok Tung Louis, Mr. Leung Yau Wan John and Mr. Au Yeung Po Fung, all being independent non-executive Directors, has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders in relation to the Continuing Connected Transactions.

In the last two years, there was no engagement between the Group and Merdeka Corporate Finance Limited. Apart from normal professional fees paid or payable to us in connection with this appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser, no arrangements exist whereby we had received or will receive any fees or benefits from the Company or any other parties that could reasonably be regarded as relevant to our independence.

FY2020 and FY2021

The Group’s revenue amounted to approximately RMB26,667.0 million for FY2021, representing an increase of approximately 32.3% from approximately RMB20,158.7 million for FY2020. The revenue mainly included income generated from property sales, commercial operations and hotel operations, of which income generated from: (i) property sales increased by approximately 32.8% to approximately RMB26,041.3 million as compared to FY2020, accounting for approximately 97.6% of the total recognised revenue; (ii) commercial operations increased by approximately 15.5% to approximately RMB583.5 million as compared to FY2020; and (iii) hotel operations increased by approximately 12.0% to approximately RMB42.1 million as compared to FY2020.

The Group’s gross profit for FY2021 was approximately RMB5,081.3 million, representing an increase of approximately 12.7% from approximately RMB4,507.7 million for FY2020. Such increase was primarily attributable to the increased number of projects delivered during the year. The gross profit margin was approximately 19.1% for FY2021, as compared to approximately 22.4% for

– 22 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

FY2020. As disclosed in the 2021 Annual Report, the decrease in gross profit margin was mainly due to the decrease in the percentage of revenue recognised for products with higher gross profit margin as compared with FY2020.

The Group’s profit before tax decreased by approximately 1.1% to approximately RMB3,124.8 million for FY2021 from approximately RMB3,159.3 million for FY2020. The net profit for FY2021 amounted to RMB1,865.7 million, representing an increase of approximately 0.6% as compared with FY2020.

The total assets of the Group amounted to approximately RMB132,748.8 million as at 31 December 2021, representing an increase of approximately 11.5% as compared to approximately RMB119,045.2 million as at 31 December 2020. In addition, the Group’s total liability increased by approximately 10.2% from approximately RMB91,641.6 million as at 31 December 2020 to approximately RMB101,003.0 million as at 31 December 2021. The net asset value of the Group increased by approximately 15.9% to approximately RMB31,745.9 million as at 31 December 2021 from approximately RMB27,403.6 million as at 31 December 2020.

HY2021 and HY2022

The Group’s revenue for HY2022 amounted to approximately RMB12,609.3 million, representing a decrease of approximately 2.7% from approximately RMB12,964.5 million for HY2021. As disclosed in the 2022 Interim Report, the revenue mainly included income generated from property sales, commercial operations and hotel operations, of which income generated from: (i) property sales decreased by approximately 2.9% to approximately RMB12,287.3 million as compared to HY2021, accounting for approximately 97.4% of the total recognised revenue; (ii) commercial operations increased by approximately 6.3% to approximately RMB310.1 million as compared to HY2021; and (iii) hotel operations decreased by approximately 47.0% to approximately RMB12.0 million as compared to HY2021.

The Group’s gross profit for HY2022 was approximately RMB1,824.7 million, representing a decrease of approximately 33.2% from approximately RMB2,730.2 million for HY2021. Such decrease was primarily attributable to the lower gross profit of the projects delivered during the period and the provision for impairment of some projects. The gross profit margin for HY2022 was approximately 14.5%, a decrease from 21.1% for HY2021. Such decrease was due to the lower gross profit of the property projects delivered during HY2022.

The Group’s profit before tax amounted to approximately RMB80.8 million for HY2022, representing a decrease of approximately 95.3% as compared with approximately RMB1,725.6 million for HY2021. For HY2022, net loss amounted to approximately RMB405.5 million, as compared with net profit amounting to approximately RMB990.0 million for HY2021.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Definitive service agreements will be entered into between the relevant members of the Group and the relevant members of Redsun Services Group for the provision of the Property Management Services. Each definitive agreement will set out the relevant services to be provided by the relevant members of Redsun Services Group to the relevant members of the Group and the service fees. The definitive service agreements may only contain provisions which are in all material respects consistent with the binding principles, guidelines, terms and conditions set out in the New Property Management Services Master Framework Agreement.

Pricing policy:

The relevant members of Redsun Services Group shall, where they are selected following the relevant tender processes and other quotation procedures for selection of services providers, provide management and related services to the Group according to the tender and quotation documents and definitive management services agreements to be entered into between relevant members of Redsun Services Group and the Group from time to time.

The management fees payable by the Group shall be determined based on arm’s length negotiation between the members of the Group and members of Redsun Services Group, with reference to a wide range of factors including but not limited to (i) nature, age, infrastructure features, geographical location and neighborhood profile of the relevant properties; (ii) prevailing market price charged by other independent third party services providers to the Group in respect of comparable services; and (iii) any applicable rates recommended by the relevant government authorities.

– 26 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Where the service providers are not selected through tender, the service fee rates are mainly determined with reference to the comparable service fee rates charged by independent third parties. Such service fee rates shall be determined through arm’s length negotiation with reference to factors including (i) the staffing of the service provider; (ii) the service standards of the personnel of the service provider; (iii) the service scope and coverage of the service provider; (iv) the management proposal of the service provider; (v) the work products and the professionalism of the service provider; and (vi) the previous work cooperation (if any) with the service provider.

The transactions contemplated under the New Property Management Services Master Framework Agreement shall be on normal commercial terms, on terms no less favourable than those offered by independent third party services providers in respect of comparable services and on terms that are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

We have obtained and reviewed both the Existing Property Management Services Master Framework Agreement and the New Property Management Services Master Framework Agreement, and understood that the principal terms of the two agreements are substantially the same.

We have enquired with the Management and understand that the fees to be charged for the Property Management Services will be determined after taking into account factors such as, the historical transaction amount, the scope of services, the prevailing property management fees of similar services provided by independent third parties as well as the location and class of the managed properties. The Management confirmed that such pricing basis is equally applicable to all of the Group’s service providers, regardless of their relationship with the Group and it also adheres to the general pricing policy of the Group.

In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of pricing policies for the Residential Property Management Services, we have obtained and reviewed a total of five sample contracts with relatively large transaction amount which were entered into between the Group and Redsun Services Group during the period from 1 January 2020 till 30 September 2022 (the ‘‘Review Period’’). As confirmed by the Management, given the prolonged cooperation between the Group and Redsun Services Group, the Group did not procure other services provider for the Residential Property Management Services, therefore, no comparable contracts between the Group and the independent third parties for the Residential Property Management Services during the Review Period are available to us. Alternatively, we have obtained and reviewed two comparable

– 27 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

contracts for the Residential Property Management Services between Redsun Services Group and independent third parties during the Review Period. Based on the sample contacts and the discussion with the Management, we understood the fees charged to the Group by Redsun Services Group for the Residential Property Management Services were not favourable than the fees which were charged by Redsun Services Group to the independent third parties for similar services.

In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of pricing policies for the Commercial Property Management Services, we understood from the Management that the service fees will be determined on ‘‘cost-plus’’ basis with reference to (i) the actual operational costs and (ii) the prevailing market price for similar services. We accordingly obtained and reviewed a total of 18 sample contracts between the Group and Redsun Services Group during the Review Period and understood that the relevant services fee are generally derived on the aforesaid ‘‘cost-plus’’ basis. As confirmed by the Management, the Group did not engage other independent third parties for the provision of the Commercial Property Management Services and Redsun Services Group did not provide the Commercial Property Management Services to independent third parties during the Review Period. The Management further advised, the Group follows the internal control policies to review and verify whether the price is fair and reasonable before entering the continuing connected contracts to ensure the service fee is not less favourable than those offered by independent third parties in respect of relevant services.

As the Housing Repair Management Services is a new service under the New Property Management Services Master Framework Agreement and the Group did not engage Redsun Services Group to provide the relevant service during the Review Period, no historical transaction is available to us for assessment. We made enquiry with the Management on the pricing policy of the Housing Repair Management Services and we were advised that the service fee will be determined with reference to the prevailing market rate for similar service to be provided by independent third parties. We obtained and reviewed the summary table of pricing rates of independent third parties and noted the adopted service unit rate is within the range of comparable pricing rates. Given the abovementioned, we consider the pricing policy for the Housing Repair Management Services under the New Property Management Services Master Framework Agreement is comparable to the service price of similar services to be charged by the independent third parties.

In view of the above and having also considered (i) the terms of the New Property Management Services Master Framework Agreement are substantially the same as the Existing Property Management Services Master Framework Agreement; (ii) the service fees for the Existing Property Management Services charged by Redsun Services Group to the Group are not less favourable than those of similar services to be charged by the independent third parties; (iii) the pricing policy for the Housing Repair Management Services is similar to that used for similar services provided by the independent third parties to the Group; and (iv) the internal control procedures in place to monitor the transactions to be contemplated under the New Property Management Services Master Framework Agreement as discussed in the section

– 28 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

headed ‘‘IV. Internal control measures’’ below, we consider the terms of the New Property Management Services Master Framework Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable as far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

b. Historical actual transactions amount

As stated in the Board Letter, the table below sets out: (i) the historical actual transaction amounts of the Existing Property Management Services for FY2020, FY2021 and for the nine months ended 30 September 2022 (‘‘9M2022’’); (ii) the annual caps for each of FY2020, FY2021 and FY2022 in respect of the Existing Property Management Services Master Framework Agreement; and (iii) the respective utilization rates of the annual caps for each of FY2020, FY2021 and FY2022 in respect of the Existing Property Management Services Master Framework Agreement.

FY2020 FY2021 9M2022

the Group to Redsun Services

Existing approved annual caps 226,933 284,171 325,973
Utilization rate (%) 90.7% 85.2% 43.7%

As illustrated above, the historical actual transaction amount of the Existing Property Management Services increased by approximately 17.7% from approximately RMB205.7 million for FY2020 to approximately RMB242.0 million for FY2021. The utilization rates of the Existing Property Management Services for the historical annual caps for FY2020 and FY2021 are relatively high in general, amounting to approximately 90.7% and 85.2% respectively. The historical actual transaction amount of the Existing Property Management Services for 9M2022 amounted to approximately RMB142.3 million, representing a utilization rate of approximately 43.7% of the existing annual cap of RMB325.9 million for FY2022. Should the historical actual transaction amount of the Existing Property Management Services for 9M2022 be annualised, the projected transaction amount of the Existing Property Management Services for FY2022 would amount to approximately RMB189.7 million, representing an utilization rate of approximately 58.2%.

As advised by the Management, the relatively low utilisation rate for 9M2022 was mainly due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, which lead to certain cities where the Group has business operations in have been under lockdown, resulting in less Existing Property Management Services received from Redsun Services Group.

As set out in the Board Letter, the Proposed Annual Caps are determined with reference to: (i) the historical transaction amounts in respect of the Property Management Services between the Group and Redsun Services Group; (ii) the additional scope of management services which may be required by the Group from Redsun Services Group, including Housing Repair Management Services; (iii) the total gross floor area (‘‘GFA’’) of properties developed by the Group under the management of Redsun Services Group and the properties under development held by the Group to be managed by Redsun Services Group based on existing service contracts as at 31 December 2022; (iv) the land bank held by the Group as at 31 December 2022 and its projected change for the next three years based on publicly available information; (v) the estimated service fee to be charged by Redsun Services Group in respect of the Residential Property Management Services based on historical amount and existing contracts; (vi) the expected unoccupied rate for property units and car parking spaces under the management of Redsun Services Group based on historical amount; and (vii) the expected number of contracts in respect of the commercial properties held by the Group for which Redsun Services Group had been or was expected to be engaged to provide property management services as at 31 December 2022.

As advised by the Management, discussions have been held with the Group and Redsun Services Group in connection with the property management projects which are currently undertaken or proposed to be undertaken by Redsun Services Group for the three years ending 31 December 2025. It is anticipated that the Group will continue to procure the Property Management Services from Redsun Services Group, while Redsun Services Group is capable to provide such services.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

In assessing the reasonableness of the Proposed Annual Caps, we have discussed with the Management on the basis and underlying assumptions for the purpose of setting the Proposed Annual Caps. We have also obtained and reviewed from the Management the computation worksheets for the Proposed Annual Caps (the ‘‘Caps Computation’’) which is mainly based on the followings:

  • i. as mentioned under the sub-section headed ‘‘(b) Historical actual transactions amount’’, the historical actual transaction amounts of the Existing Property Management Services for FY2020 and FY2021 amounted to approximately RMB205.7 million and RMB242.0 million with the utilization rate of the proposed annual cap of approximately 90.7% and 85.2%, respectively. The historical transaction amount for 9M2022 amounted to approximately RMB142.3 million with utilisation rate of approximately 43.7%. As the Proposed Annual Caps, which is determined with reference to the factors including but not limited to historical transaction amount, are approximate to the historical actual transaction amounts, on this basis, the Proposed Annual Caps are considered to be reasonable;

  • ii. as advised by the Management, the estimated demand of Property Management Services of the Group is mainly driven by the progress, development and delivery of the relevant property projects of the Group at the relevant time.
