LETTER FROM THE BOARD
in Baoxin Quansheng to Baoxin Investment at a consideration of RMB25,000,000. The amount of penalty was determined after arm’s length negotiations between OCT Chuang Ying and Baoxin Investment by reference to, among others, the projected total revenue of development project under Baoxin Quansheng. It represents approximately 25% of the projected total revenue of development project under Baoxin Quansheng.
The consideration of the Acquisition and the OCT Commitment were determined after arm’s length negotiations between OCT Chuang Ying and Baoxin Investment by reference to, among others, registered capital of Baoxin Quansheng and the final bid price of the Land being RMB629,730,000. The Board considered that each of the consideration of the Acquisition in the amount of RMB25,000,000 and the OCT Commitment in the amount of RMB57,980,783.25 was fair and reasonable after taking into account the market price of surrounding land and the development potential of the Land.
The Group satisfied the consideration of the Acquisition in the amount of RMB25,000,000 by internal resources and intends to satisfy the OCT Commitment by shareholder’s loan and bank loan(s).
Source of capital
Should Baoxin Quansheng require working capital and such amount cannot be fully covered by bank loans and proceeds from sale, OCT Chuang Ying and Baoxin Investment shall provide shareholders’ loan to Baoxin Quansheng in proportion to their respective equity interests in Baoxin Quansheng to cover the deficient amount. OCT Chuang Ying and Baoxin Investment shall also provide corporate guarantees in proportion to their respective equity interests required for the bank loan(s) to be obtained by Baoxin Quansheng. The total amount of shareholders’ loans and corporate guarantees to be provided by OCT Chuang Ying and Baoxin Investment shall not exceed RMB1,950,000,000. Such maximum amount was determined with reference to the expected total costs of the development of the Land. The projected maximum amount of shareholders’ loans and corporate guarantees is higher than such expected costs to allow for changes to the cost needs due to fluctuations of market conditions.
Baoxin Quansheng shall pay interest to OCT Chuang Ying and Baoxin Investment for their respective shareholders’ loans in accordance with the benchmark rate for loan of the same period promulgated by the People’s Bank of China plus 10%.
The Group intends to satisfy the shareholder’s loan to be made by OCT Chuang Ying to Baoxin Quansheng by shareholder’s loan and bank loan(s).
Board composition of Baoxin Quansheng
The board of Baoxin Quansheng shall comprise three directors, of which two directors will be appointed by Baoxin Investment and one director will be appointed by OCT Chuang Ying. The chairman of the board of directors of Baoxin Quansheng will be appointed by Baoxin Investment. However, all resolutions made by the board of directors shall be unanimously agreed by all the directors.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Profit and loss sharing
The profit and loss of Baoxin Quansheng will be shared by OCT Chuang Ying and Baoxin Investment proportional to their respective capital injection and shareholders’ loan in Baoxin Quansheng.
Other Terms
When the property to be developed on the Land has been completed and delivered and over 94% of the saleable areas have been sold, OCT Chuang Ying and Baoxin Investment shall liquidate Baoxin Quansheng, the detailed terms of which will be subject to further negotiation between OCT Chuang Ying and Baoxin Investment.
Each of OCT Chuang Ying and Baoxin Investment shall not dispose of or pledge their respective equity interests in Baoxin Quansheng to any other party(ies) without the consent from the other party.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE COOPERATION AGREEMENT
Baoxin Investment has succeeded in the bid of the land use rights of the Land offered for sale by Chengdu Land Bureau at the Auction dated 3 February 2016 at the final bid price of RMB629,730,000 and has established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Baoxin Quansheng to hold the Land. Baoxin Quansheng expects that the total costs of the development of the Land would be approximately RMB1,789,000,000, which comprise the expected land and transaction fees (RMB655,000,000), engineering and management costs (RMB814,000,000), various tax expenses (RMB162,000,000), and management, sales and financial expenses (RMB158,000,000), subject to changes due to, amongst others, the actual needs of Baoxin Quansheng, the relevant tax policies in the PRC, market conditions and labour and raw material prices which may vary from time to time. The Group intends to finance such costs by the funds injected or to be injected into Baoxin Quansheng from Baoxin Investment and OCT Chuang Ying through shareholders’ loans as well as bank loan(s).
Due to rapid economic growth in Chengdu, its property market is active and has room for growth. The Land is located in Jinniu District, a major development zone in Chengdu. Given the superior geographical location with good ancillary facilities of the Land, it is expected the Acquisition will bring satisfied return and enhance the overall profit level of the Company. Furthermore, the beneficial owner of Baoxin Investment is a leading company in the industry and has successful experience in property development. The Company believed that the cooperation between both parties could ensure the success of the Land’s development.
The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the opinion that the terms of the Acquisition and the transactions contemplated thereunder (including the Consideration) are fair and reasonable and the Acquisition is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

- II-6 -
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF BAOXIN QUANSHENG
APPENDIX II
The preparation of Financial Information in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the management of Baoxin Quansheng to exercise its judgement in the process of applying Baoxin Quansheng’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Financial Information, are disclosed in note 5 to the Financial Information.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Financial Information are set out below.
4.1 Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the Financial Information are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which Baoxin Quansheng operates (the “ functional currency ”). The Financial Information are presented in Renminbi, which is Baoxin Quansheng’s functional and presentation currency.
4.2 Properties held for future development for sale
Properties held for future development for sale are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs include acquisition costs, prepaid land lease payments, construction costs, borrowing costs capitalised and other direct costs attributable to such properties. Net realisable value is 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.
On completion, the properties are reclassified to properties held for sale at the then carrying amount.
4.3 Recognition and derecognition of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position when Baoxin Quansheng becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire; Baoxin Quansheng transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets; or Baoxin Quansheng neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets but has not retained control on the assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss.
4.4 Financial assets
Financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis where the purchase or sale of an financial asset is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the financial assets within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, plus directly attributable transaction costs except in the case of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
Baoxin Quansheng classifies its financial assets in the following category: loans and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
- II-7 -
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF BAOXIN QUANSHENG
APPENDIX II
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. These assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method (except for short-term receivables where interest is immaterial) minus any reduction for impairment or uncollectibility. Typically trade and other receivables, bank balances and cash are classified in this category.
4.5 Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents represent cash at bank and on hand.
4.6 Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument under HKFRSs. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of Baoxin Quansheng after deducting all of its liabilities. The accounting policies adopted for specific financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.
(a) Other payables
Other payables are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.
(b) Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by Baoxin Quansheng are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
4.7 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
To the extent that funds are borrowed generally and used for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is determined by applying a capitalisation rate to the expenditures on that asset. The capitalisation rate is the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings of the Group that are outstanding during the period, other than borrowings made specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
4.8 Taxation
Income tax represents the sum of the current tax and deferred tax.
- II-8 -
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF BAOXIN QUANSHENG
APPENDIX II
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from profit recognised in profit or loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. Baoxin Quansheng’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Financial Information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which Baoxin Quansheng expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and Baoxin Quansheng intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
4.9 Impairment of financial assets
At the end of each reporting period, Baoxin Quansheng assesses whether its financial assets are impaired, based on objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition, the estimated future cash flows of the (group of) financial asset(s) have been affected.
For the financial assets of Baoxin Quansheng, the carrying amount is directly reduced by the impairment loss.
4.10 Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when Baoxin Quansheng has a present 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 expenditures expected to settle the obligation.
- II-9 -
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF BAOXIN QUANSHENG
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 is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow is remote.
4.11 Events after the reporting period
Events after the reporting period that provide additional information about Baoxin Quansheng’s position at the end of the reporting period are adjusting events and are reflected in the Financial Information. Events after the reporting period that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes to the Financial Information when material.
5. CRITICAL JUDGEMENT AND KEY ESTIMATES
Critical judgement in applying accounting policies
In the process of applying the accounting policies, the directors of Baoxin Quansheng have made the following judgement that has the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the Financial Information (apart from those involving estimations, which are dealt with below).
Legal titles of a parcel of land
As stated in note 12 to the Financial Information, the land use right certificate of a parcel of land has not yet been obtained by Baoxin Quansheng as at 31 March 2016. Despite the fact that Baoxin Quansheng has not yet obtained the land use right certificate, the directors of Baoxin Quansheng determined to recognise the carrying amount of the parcel of land as inventories on the grounds that Baoxin Quansheng is in the process of obtaining the land use right certificate and they expect obtaining such certificate in future should have no major difficulties and Baoxin Quansheng is in substance controlling that parcel of land.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are discussed below.
Provision for properties held for future development for sale
As explained in note 4.2 to the Financial Information, Baoxin Quansheng’s properties held for future development for sale are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Based on Baoxin Quansheng’s recent experience and the nature of the subject properties, Baoxin Quansheng makes estimates of the selling prices, the costs of completion in case for properties held for future development for sale, and the costs to be incurred in selling the properties based on prevailing market conditions.
If there is an increase in costs to completion or a decrease in net sales value, the net realisable value will decrease and this may result in provision for properties held for future development for sale. Such provision requires the use of judgement and estimates. Where the expectation is different from the original estimate, the carrying value and provision for properties in the periods in which such estimate is changed will be adjusted accordingly.
The carrying amount of properties held for future development for sale as at 31 March 2016 was approximately RMB654,773,000.

APPENDIX II
6. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Baoxin Quansheng’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: foreign currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. Baoxin Quansheng’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on Baoxin Quansheng’s financial performance.
6.1 Foreign currency risk
Baoxin Quansheng has minimal exposure to foreign currency risk as all of its business transactions, assets and liabilities are principally denominated in Renminbi. Baoxin Quansheng currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy in respect of foreign currency transactions, assets and liabilities. Baoxin Quansheng monitors its foreign currency exposure closely and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.
6.2 Credit risk
The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.
6.3 Liquidity risk
Baoxin Quansheng’s policy is to regularly monitor current and expected liquidity requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.
The maturity analysis based on contractual undiscounted cash flows of Baoxin Quansheng’s financial liabilities is as follows:
| Less than 1 | Between 1 and | Between 2 and | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| year | 2 years | 5 years | Over 5 years | |
| RMB’000 | RMB’000 | RMB’000 | RMB’000 | |
| At 31 March 2016 | ||||
| Other payables | 620,736 | – | – | – |
6.4 Interest rate risk
Baoxin Quansheng’s exposure to interest-rate risk arises from its bank deposits and amount due to immediate parent of a joint venturer and amount due to joint venturers of RMB57,532,000 and RMB213,394,000 respectively (note 14). These balances bear interests at variable rates varied with the then prevailing market condition.

INSTRUCTIONS
In accordance with the instructions from Overseas Chinese Town (Asia) Holdings Limited (the “ Company ”) for us to value the Property situated in the People’s Republic of China (“ PRC ”) to be acquired by Chengdu Baoxin Quansheng Real Estate Development Company Limited (成�市保鑫泉盛房地產開發 有限公司) (“ Baoxin Quansheng ”), we confirm that we have carried out an inspection, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of market value of the Property as at 29 February 2016 (the “ valuation date ”) for circular purpose.
BASIS OF VALUATION
Our valuation of the Property is our opinion of its market value which we would define as intended to mean “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller on an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.
- V-1 -
VALUATION OF THE LAND
APPENDIX V
Market value is understood as the value of an asset or liability estimated without regard to costs of sale or purchase (or transaction) and without offset for any associated taxes or potential taxes.
In valuing the Property, we have complied with the requirements set out in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and The HKIS Valuation Standards (2012 Edition) published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.
VALUATION METHODOLOGY
The Property is to be held by Baoxin Quansheng for future development upon completion of acquisition. We have valued the Property by direct comparison approach by making reference to comparable market transactions as available on the market assuming sale with the benefit of vacant possession.
TITLE INVESTIGATION
We have been provided with copies of extracts of the title documents relating to the Property. However, we have not searched the original documents to ascertain the existence of any amendments, which may not appear on the copies handed to us. We have relied to a very considerable extent on information given by the Company and the legal opinion issued by the Company’s PRC legal adviser, Tahota Law Firm (泰和泰律師事務所), regarding the title to the Property.
VALUATION CONSIDERATION AND ASSUMPTIONS
In valuing the Property in the PRC, unless otherwise stated, we have assumed that transferable land use rights in respect of the Property for its specific terms at nominal land use fee have been granted and that all requisite land premium payable has been fully settled. We have also assumed that the owner of the Property has an enforceable title to the Property and has free and uninterrupted rights to occupy, use, transfer, lease or mortgage the Property for the whole of the unexpired terms as granted.
We have relied to a very considerable extent on information given by the Company and have accepted advice given to us by the Company on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenure, ownership, particulars of occupancy, site and floor areas and all other relevant matters. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificate are based on information contained in the documents provided to us and are therefore only approximations. No on-site measurements have been made. We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Company, which is material to our valuation. We have also been advised by the Company that no material facts have been omitted from the information provided. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view.
No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the Property nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the Property is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect its value.

SITE INSPECTION

During the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects.

No tests were carried out on any of the services.
