As OCT Group’s only offshore listed platform, the Group’s new development mode will be “comprehensive development + investment in the urbanisation industrial ecosphere”. The Group will develop the comprehensive development business with added vigour and on a larger scale by fully leveraging OCT’s brand equity and financial strength, and by securing high-quality projects from the areas of prime cities and OCT urbanisation projects. The Group will also actively leverage the domestic and overseas capital markets along with financial products, intensifying its project development to seek new investment opportunities through domestic and overseas investments, mergers and acquisitions, industrial funds, financial leasing and others methods.
Comprehensive development business
In 2019, the various control policies will continue to be stability-oriented assuming that such policies ensure the steady development of the real estate market, while the basic keynotes of “houses are built to be inhabited, not for speculation” and “leasing and purchasing” remain unchanged. In order to ensure reasonable housing consumption for the residents, the effects on the consumption of some improved housing arising from preceding control and upgrade may be adjusted subsequently. Meanwhile, the further release on monetary policy is expected to facilitate improvements in the aspect of real estate market demand.
In future, the various comprehensive development projects of the Group are as follows: Shanghai Suhewan Project will push forward the leasing activities for the commercial properties surrounding Bvlgari Hotel in order to consolidate the market benchmark role of Bvlgari Residence. The Chengdu OCT Project will primarily launch high-end apartments and the high-end customised villa in the only eyot of downtown Chengdu, and will continue its sale of boutique community commercial properties with a total saleable area of approximately 189,000 sq.m.. As to the Chongqing Land Project, a new batch of high-rise and multi-storey residential products with a total saleable area of approximately 176,000 sq.m. will be launched. For the OCT (Changshu) Project, the planning and design work is scheduled to be completed and the construction is expected to commence in the first half of 2019, and the project is expected to be released for leasing from 2020. With combined geographical advantages and integrated surrounding resources, the Group will explore and push forward timely planning, development and construction of idle lands for its existing industrial lands.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX II
B NOTES TO THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Statement of compliance
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with all applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) which collective term includes all applicable individual Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”). Further details of the significant accounting policies adopted are set out in the remainder of this section B.
The HKICPA has issued a number of new and revised HKFRSs. For the purpose of preparing this Historical Financial Information, the Target Company has adopted all applicable new and revised HKFRSs to the Relevant Period, except for any new standards or interpretations that are not yet effective for the accounting period ended 31 December 2018. The revised and new accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective for the accounting year ended 31 December 2018 are set out in Note 17.
The Historical Financial Information also complies with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”).
The financial statements of the Target Company which was prepared in accordance with or Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises issued by the Ministry of Finance of The People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) was audited by Guangdong Tongyi Certificated Public Accountants.
(b) Basis of measurement
Notwithstanding the net liabilities of RMB5,901,000 as at 31 December 2018, the Historical Financial Information have been prepared on a going concern basis as Xiamen Yuzhou Grand Future Real Estate Development Company Limited (“Xiamen Yuzhou”, the shareholder of the Target Company) and Zhuhai Yiyun Real Estate Limited (“Zhuhai Yiyun”) had agreed to provide continuing financial support to the Target Company to enable it to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due. Accordingly, the directors of the Company consider it is appropriate to prepare the Historical Financial Information on a going concern basis.
The Historical Financial Information is presented in Renminbi (“RMB”) which is the functional and presentation currency of the Target Company, rounded to the nearest thousand. The measure basis used in the preparation of the Historical Financial Information is the historical cost basis.
The preparation of the Historical Financial Information in conformity with HKFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Judgements made by management in the application of HKFRSs that have significant effect on the Historical Financial Information and major sources of estimation uncertainty are discussed in Note 2.
(c) Inventories
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost and net realisable values are determined as follows:
- Property held for future development
The cost of properties held for future development comprises specifically identified cost, including the acquisition cost of land, aggregate cost of development, materials and supplies, wages and other direct expenses, an appropriate proportion of overheads and borrowing costs capitalised (see note 1(i)). Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in selling the property.
– II-7 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX II
When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised.
The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories is recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.
(d) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within three months of maturity at acquisition.
(e) Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value. Trade and other payables are subsequently stated at amortised cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.
(f) Interest-bearing borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are measured initially at fair value less transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense is recognised in accordance with the Target Company’s accounting policy for borrowing costs (see note 1(h)).
(g) Income tax
Income tax for the year comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the relevant amounts of tax are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from deductible and taxable temporary differences respectively, being the differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets also arise from unused tax losses and unused tax credits.
All deferred tax liabilities, and all deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised, are recognised. Future taxable profits that may support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences include those that will arise from the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, provided those differences relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse either in the same period as the expected reversal of the deductible temporary difference or in periods into which a tax loss arising from the deferred tax asset can be carried back or forward. The same criteria are adopted when determining whether existing taxable temporary differences support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and credits, that is, those differences are taken into account if they relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse in a period, or periods, in which the tax loss or credit can be utilised.
The amount of deferred tax recognised is measured based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow the related tax benefit to be utilised. Any such reduction is reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.
– II-8 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX II
Current tax balances and deferred tax balances, and movements therein, are presented separately from each other and are not offset. Current tax assets are offset against current tax liabilities, and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities, if the Target Company has the legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the following additional conditions are met:
-
in the case of current tax assets and liabilities, the Target Company intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously; or
-
in the case of deferred tax assets and liabilities, if they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:
-
the same taxable entity; or
-
different taxable entities, which, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered, intend to realise the current tax assets and settle the current tax liabilities on a net basis or realise and settle simultaneously.
(h) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
The capitalisation of borrowing costs as part of the cost of a qualifying asset commences when expenditure for the asset is being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended or ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are interrupted or complete.

(ix) Close members of the family of a person are those family members who may be expected to influence, or be influenced by, that person in their dealings with the entity.
2 ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENT AND ESTIMATES
The key sources of estimation uncertainty and critical accounting judgements in applying the Target Company’s accounting policies are described below:
-
Provision for properties held for future development
The Target Company’s properties held for future development are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Based on the Target Company’s recent experience and the nature of the subject properties, the Target Company makes estimates of the selling prices, the costs of completion in case for properties under 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. 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.
Given the volatility of the PRC property market, the actual recoverable amount may be higher or lower than estimated at the end of the reporting period. Any increase or decrease in the provision would affect profit or loss in future years.
3 REVENUE
The Target Company is principally engaged in the development and sales of properties. There are no sales of properties during the Relevant Period.
