LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Company has engaged Huizhou Guangxin Land & Real Estate Appraisals Consultancy Co., Ltd*( 惠州市廣信土地房地產評估諮詢有限公司 )(the ‘‘Property Valuer’’), a qualified real estate valuer in the PRC and a member of China Institute of Real Estate Appraisers and Agents (the ‘‘CIREA’’) to issue the valuation report for the Land (the‘‘Valuation Report’’). As advised by the Property Valuer: (i) the Property Valuer has appointed two employees, namely Lai Baozhen and Mu Zhu, who are both qualified real estate valuers registered with Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of the PRC (the ‘‘MOHU’’), to prepare the Property Valuation Report; and (ii) each of Lai Baozhen and Mu Zhu has more than 10 years experiences in real estate valuation in the PRC.
The Property Valuer further advised that: (i) the Property Valuer, as the members of CIREA, is required to comply with the professional discipline of CIREA when preparing the Valuation Report as well as the professional discipline and ethics regulations of the real estate appraisal industry in the PRC; (ii) while Lai Baozhen and Mu Zhu are not members of CIREA, the Property Valuer, as a CIREA member, requires its employees to comply with the professional discipline of CIREA when preparing a property valuation report; (iii) each of Lai Baozhen and Mu Zhu is registered with the MOHU as a certified real estate appraiser and hence qualified to provide property valuation reports in the PRC. They are required under the MOHU rules and regulations to comply with the professional discipline and ethics regulations of the real estate appraisal industry in the PRC (including those issued by CIREA), although membership of CIREA is not required for a certified real estate appraiser to provide property valuation reports; and (iv) the Valuation Report has been prepared in compliance with the Code for Real Estate Appraisal issued by MOHU.
CIREA and the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors (the ‘‘HKIS’’) had signed a reciprocity agreement in relation to the recognition of qualifications of PRC real estate appraisers and Hong Kong surveyors. Under the agreement, each institute’s individual members who meet certain eligibility criteria and are nominated by the institute can apply for the other institute’s membership through an examination organized by the other institute. On the basis of the above, the Company takes the view that CIREA was a professional body of similar standing to HKIS.
In view of the above, the Company considers the Valuation Report has been prepared in accordance with standards comparable with the HKIS property valuation standards.
Please refer to Appendix II for the Valuation Report.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
3. INFORMATION ON THE TARGET COMPANY, THE COMPANY AND THE PURCHASER
The Target Company
The Target Company is a company established in the PRC with limited liability and is principally engaged in the operation of container manufacturing. Set out below is certain financial information of the Target Company for the two years ended 31 December 2016 and 2017:
| For the years ended 31 | For the years ended 31 | December | |
|---|---|---|---|
| (audited) | |||
| 2016 | 2017 | ||
| (RMB’000) | (RMB’000) | ||
| Revenue | 766,388 | 2,072,489 | |
| Net (loss) profit before tax | (15,277) | 159,910 | |
| Net (loss) profit after tax | (15,278) | 122,768 |
The net asset value of the Target Company as extracted from its audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 was approximately RMB582,142,000.
Upon completion of the Disposal, the Target Company will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
4. REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL
The Target Company was established in 2005 and has since then been operating its business of container manufacturing at the buildings on the Land. The Land is a parcel of land in Caotang, Dongfeng Village, Xinxu Town, Huiyeng District, Huizhou City with a total site area of approximately 267,000 square meters. In light of the prevailing valuation of the Land and the Consideration offered by the Purchaser, the Company considers that the Disposal represents a good opportunity for the Company to realise a gain therefrom and generate additional cash flow for the Group. Upon completion of the Disposal, it is estimated that the Company would realise a gain on the Disposal before taxation of approximately RMB300,000,000 (equivalent to approximately US$45,346,675), being the difference between the Consideration and the estimated adjusted net asset value of the Target Company as at completion. The exact amount of the gain of the Disposal to the Company is subject to adjustments and audit and may therefore be different from the amounts mentioned above as the actual gain or loss will depend on, among other things, the actual net asset value of the Target Company as at the completion of the Disposal. The Company intends to apply the net proceeds from the Disposal for repaying bank borrowings, building new manufacturing facilities (if any) and for general working capital purposes.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Disposal does not represent any decision of the Company to discontinue the business previously undertaken by the Target Company. The underlying assets of the Disposal are essentially the real estate properties (mainly the Land and the buildings thereon) held by the Target Company. The Group has recently established a new wholly-owned subsidiary in the PRC, which is intended to take over the business previously undertaken by the Target Company. As the underlying assets of the Disposal are the real estate properties held by the Target Company (but not the business undertaken by the Target Company), there is a transitional arrangement in place between the Company and the Purchaser pursuant to which the Company will be provided with a reasonable period of time for the transition of the manufacturing capabilities, related operations and employees of the Target Company after completion of the transfer of equity interest in the Target Company whereby the new wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group will continue to operate at the buildings during the transition period. In any event, completion of such transfer is conditional upon satisfaction of certain conditions precedent and therefore will not take place immediately. In the meantime, the Company is evaluating the economic benefits for the potential establishment of a new factory in Huizhou, the PRC, for the purpose of taking over certain manufacturing capabilities, related operations and employees of the Target Company, taking into account various commercial and other factors and the needs of the Group as a whole. As at the Latest Practicable Date, no definitive decision with respect to any such establishment had been made. In the event that the Group decides not to establish any new factory in Huizhou, the Company expects that the relevant assets, machineries and staff will be relocated to other facilities of the Group. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group had annual production capacity of approximately 850,000 TEU. As the production capacity of current facilities have not been fully utilised and given the continuing operation of the new wholly-owned subsidiary at the buildings during the transition period, the Company is of the view that the Disposal does not have any material adverse impact on the manufacturing capacity of the Group and the operation of the Group as a whole.
– 9 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
In light of the changing market landscape and the challenges and competitions encountered in the container manufacturing industry, the Group has been evaluating its business strategies including regarding its manufacturing capabilities and locations, and such strategies which may be implemented by way of sale, such as the Disposal, for the benefit of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not entered into any legally binding and definitive agreements for the disposal of any other subsidiaries.
The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the opinion that the Disposal is on normal commercial terms which are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) recommend the Shareholders should vote in favour of the resolution to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Disposal.
5. FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL
Upon Completion, the Group will cease to have any interests in the Target Company, and the financial results of the Target Company will no longer be consolidated in the financial statements of the Group. Based on the preliminary assessment on the unaudited consolidated financial information of the Target Company, it is expected that upon completion of the Disposal, the total assets of the Group will increase by approximately RMB448,000,000 (equivalent to approximately US$67,717,702), the total liabilities of the Group will increase by approximately RMB148,000,000 (equivalent to approximately US$22,371,026), the net assets of the Group will also be increased by approximately RMB300,000,000 (equivalent to approximately US$45,346,675) based on the estimated gain on the Disposal.
The net proceed arising from the Disposal is expected to be applied for repaying bank borrowings, building new manufacturing facilities (if any) and for general working capital purpose.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
6. THE LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
2017 Transaction
On 4 May 2017, the Target Company and the Assignee entered into the 2017 Agreement pursuant to which the Assignee agreed to purchase, and the Target Company agreed to sell, the 2017 Property at a consideration of RMB56,453,100 (equivalent to approximately US$8,533,201) in cash which was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Target Company and the Assignee on normal commercial terms with reference to the valuation of the 2017 Property. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, each of the Assignee and its ultimate beneficial owner(s) is an Independent Third Party. The Target Company has already received such consideration in cash but completion of such transaction has not yet been taken place. The 2017 Property was used by the Target Company for storage of the containers manufactured by the Target Company. It is currently expected that completion of the 2017 Transaction will take place after completion of the Disposal and hence the Group will not be entitled to the net proceeds from the 2017 Transaction. The 2017 Transaction by itself did not constitute any notifiable or connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 or 14A, as the case may be, of the Listing Rules.
Listing Rules analysis
As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios calculated by reference to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Disposal reaches or exceeds 25% but less than 75%, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction of the Company and is subject to the notification, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
7. EGM
A notice convening the EGM to be held at 24/F, Admiralty Centre 1, 18 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong on Wednesday, 22 August 2018 at 10:00 a.m., at which an ordinary resolution will be proposed to approve the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder as set out on pages 55 to 56 of this circular.
– 11 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
A proxy form for use at the EGM is enclosed. Whether or not you are able to attend the EGM, you are requested to complete and return the enclosed proxy form in accordance with the instructions printed thereon to the Company’s share registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding of the EGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be). Completion and return of proxy form will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM or any adjourned meeting (as the case may be) should you so wish.
To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder has a material interest in the transactions contemplated under the Agreement. As such, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting under the Listing Rules at the EGM on the resolution(s) to approve the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.
8. RECOMMENDATION
The Board considers that the terms of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Board recommends the Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolution to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE COMPANY
APPENDIX I
4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP
Upon Completion, the Group will continue to be principally engaged in the business of manufacturing of containers and other related products and providing logistics services.
During the year of 2017, revenue of the Group was approximately US$1,476 million, representing a growth of approximately 61.1% when compared with the year of 2016. Consolidated profit attributable to owners of the Company was approximately US$41 million. Net assets attributable to owners of the Company were approximately US$574 million, representing a growth of approximately 7.7 % when compared with that of the 2016.
The year 2018 is expected to see the global economy continue improving, with the World Bank forecasts growth to edge up to 3.1% and the International Monetary Fund forecasts an even more optimistic 3.9%, driven by the ongoing recovery in investment, manufacturing and trade, as well as commodity-exporting developing economies benefit from firming commodity prices. On the shipping front, cellular fleet growth is forecasted to rise by 5.6% in 2018, according to Alphaliner, which should further drive container demand. The Group expects dry freight containers to continue being the primary and stable source of revenue. The Group’s new refrigerated container production factory in Qingdao has commenced trial operation in March 2018, it is capable of supporting the Group’s refrigerated container business in northern PRC market. Furthermore, the Group introduced a new assembled-on-site refrigerated container which is jointly developed by the Group and Carrier Transicold, in the second quarter of 2018. This new product is expected to be well received by the market given their various performance advantages.
Paving the way for further growth, the Group increased its equity stake in Modex Holding Limited from 29.9% to 42.9% in February 2018. The initiative highlights both our confidence in the joint venture and the offshore container business, as well as its commitment to advancing this area of interest in the coming years.
While the Group is constantly examining ways to develop its business, the Group is no less determined to develop our portfolio of products, as demonstrated by the launching of assembledon-site refrigerated containers and the recent introduction of fish farming containers. To expedite such efforts, the Group will continue to bolster our R&D capabilities by recruiting the best and brightest, including graduates from prominent universities in the PRC, leading to the roll-out of even more attractive customer-centric solutions.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE COMPANY
As mentioned under the paragraph headed ‘‘Reasons for and Benefits of the Disposal’’ in the Letter from the Board in this circular, the Directors consider that the Disposal represents a good opportunity for the Company to realise a gain therefrom and generate additional cash flow for the Group. Upon completion of the Disposal, it is estimated that the Company would realise a gain on the Disposal before taxation of approximately RMB300,000,000 (equivalent to approximately US$45,346,675), being the difference between the Consideration and the estimated adjusted net asset value of the Target Company as at completion. The exact amount of the gain of the Disposal to the Company is subject to adjustments and audit and may therefore be different from the amounts mentioned above as the actual gain or loss will depend on, among other things, the actual net asset value of the Target Company as at the completion of the Disposal. The Company intends to apply the net proceeds from the Disposal for repaying bank borrowings, building new manufacturing facilities (if any) and for general working capital purposes.
The Directors also believe that upon completion of the Disposal, the Group’s financial and cash position will be strengthened, and the Group will be well prepared to capture business and investment opportunities as and when appropriate.

3. Market Analysis
The housing prices in Huizhou fluctuated slightly in recent years. As the development and construction level of real estate projects in Huizhou keeps rising, the quality of such real estate projects is improving, and the types of real estate products are becoming more abundant. The high-quality buildings built near rivers, lakes and mountains are scarce resources strategically pursued by real estate companies. Real estate developers have increased investments in improving the functions of residential communities, greening the environment, using new building materials and real estate marketing. The real estate products are being sought after by many buyers inside and outside the city. The strong purchasing power of the buyers from Shenzhen has greatly boosted the scale of real estate development in various districts of Huizhou.

4. Analysis on Maximum and Best Utilization
1) Analysis of legitimacy
The legitimacy principle requires real estate appraisal to be based on the legitimate rights to the appraisal object. Legitimate rights include legal ownership, legal use right, legal disposal right, etc.
The ownership of the plots being appraised is clear as the relevant State-owned Land Use Certificates and Property Ownership Certificates have been obtained.
2) Analysis on utilization premise
The principle of maximum and best utilization requires real estate appraisal to be premised on maximum and best utilization of the appraisal object. Maximum and best utilization refers to legally permissible, technically possible and economically feasible utilization based on adequate justification that can maximize the value of the appraisal object.
3) Analysis with the application of appraisal methods
Each use method that is legally permissible and technically possible is subject to an economic feasibility test. Only the use methods where the present value of revenue is greater than the present value of expenditure are economically feasible. Other use methods should be eliminated.
V. Valuation Time
The valuation time refers to a specific time when the value or price of the appraisal object is appraised. The valuation time shall be jointly determined by the appraisal client and the real estate appraisal agency according to the nature of the relevant economic activities and the principle of nearing the date of achieving the appraisal purpose. The purpose of the appraisal is to provide a reference for the appraisal client to understand the fair market value of its fixed assets at the time of the appraisal, so the valuation time is the date of field survey, i.e. 31 May 2018.

VII. Valuation Principles
1. Principle of independence, objectivity and impartiality
A principle requiring real estate appraisers to be neutral and arrive at an appraised value or price that is fair and reasonable for all stakeholders in a fact-based, fair and honest manner.
2. Principle of legitimacy
A principle requiring the appraisal result to be a value or price of the appraisal object determined according to law.
3. Principle of valuation time
A principle requiring the appraisal result to be a value or price of the appraisal object determined at a specific time for the appraisal purpose.

IX. Appraisal Methods
-
After comprehensive consideration of the appraisal purpose, the physical and chemical status of the appraisal object, and the information provided by the appraisal client, we determined to use the cost method and comparison method for the appraisal. The final appraisal result is determined as the weighted average of the results of the two appraisal methods.
-
When using the cost method for real estate appraisal, the following steps should be taken:
-
(1) select a specific valuation path;
-
(2) calculate the replacement cost or reconstruction cost;
-
(3) calculate depreciation;
-
(4) calculate the cost value.
-
Calculation process under the cost method
-
(1) calculation formula under the cost method:
Property value = land acquisition cost + construction cost + management expense + sales expense + investment interest + sales taxes and dues + – development profit building depreciation
- (2) description of parameter values
The value calculated using the cost method should be a value where the underlying property ownership and land use right are not subject to any lease, mortgage or seizure. If the rights and interests in the appraisal object are different from such value, the value calculated under the cost method should be adjusted accordingly.
- The comparison method is to arrive at an objective and reasonable price or value of the appraisal object by comparing the appraisal object with a similar property transacted near the valuation time and making appropriate corrections and adjustments to the transaction price of such similar property.
– 37 –
INDEPENDENT VALUATION REPORT
APPENDIX II
When using the market comparison method for appraisal, the following steps should be taken:
-
(1) select comparable objects and give a description of the comparable objects;
-
(2) establish a comparable price basis;
-
(3) make corrections to the transaction conditions;
-
(4) make corrections to market conditions;
-
(5) make corrections to location conditions;
-
(6) make corrections to conditions of the comparable objects;
-
(7) make corrections to rights and interests in the appraisal object;
-
(8) calculate a comparable price.
-
Calculation process under the comparison method: The comparison method is to select three or more transaction cases with similar objects and arrive at an appraised value of the appraisal object by making corrections to the transaction prices in those cases.
-
Reasons for not using other appraisal methods:
For real estate appraisal, the income method is mainly applicable to appraisal of properties with stable income. The appraised property is not used as a standard factory building for lease and it is hard to estimate the income therefrom, so this time we did not use the income method to evaluate the appraised property. Moreover, there are properties built on the appraisal object, so it is inappropriate to use the hypothetical development method for the appraisal.
