LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSALS

The Group operates and invests in real estate development, real estate investment and distribution of building materials. It has been the Company’s investment strategy to grow asset values, achieve stable yields and exit within a three-to-five year horizon for capital gain.

Acquisition of the interests of the Property in 2012

The Company has indirectly acquired the interests in the Property in 2012. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company held approximately 59% interest in Power City. Details relating to such acquisition were disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 1 August 2012 and the circular of the Company dated 31 October 2012. Before such acquisition, the Company has conducted market research and study which showed that demand for industrial properties was stable in Shanghai while the vacancy rate was improving. While the prospect of the project with its then existing state was considered by the Company not good enough given that there was insufficient facilities for tenants, the Company believed that the prospect could be improved by carrying out upgrading work and implementing appropriate marketing plan and, as such, as disclosed in the Company’s announcement and circular referred to above, it was the Group’s intention to upgrade the buildings of the Property through renovation, fitting-out and furnishing works and other improvements to the greenery, amenities and interior of the existing buildings. Such upgrading works were completed in the second quarter of 2013.

After the acquisition of the interests in the Property in 2012, the local government has further promoted the development in Shanghai which brought an increase in the supply of industrial properties in Shanghai, including Nanhui District, exceeding the estimation made at the time the market research and study was conducted before the acquisition. With the increase in supply, potential tenants have more choices in different areas in Shanghai when compared to the time at which the Company contracted to acquire interest in this project. Furthermore, the entire new Metro Line was fully completed at the end of 2014, which was almost a year later than what the Company had originally anticipated. Affected by the above factors, the improvement in the development of Nanhui District which the Group had originally anticipated has failed to materialise.

It was the Company’s belief that the project would become self-contained following completion of the upgrading works, and could attract more tenants after the new Metro Line started to operate. The Company knew that there would be strong competition from other business parks but believed that with its lower level of rent when compared to other business parks with better locations, the Property could still attract tenants. Unfortunately, the prospect of the project turns out to be not as good as originally projected.

Low occupancy rate

The occupancy rate ranged from 1.58% to 26.42% (without taking into account of the portion rented by the Purchaser) since Power City’s acquisition of the interests in the Property. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 10 tenants (excluding the Purchaser)

– 16 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

renting an aggregate of 13,817.09 sq.m. of the Property, representing 26.42% of the total gross floor area of the Property (without taking into account of the portion rented by the Purchaser).

The overall occupancy rate as at 30 June 2017 of 41.8% as disclosed in the valuation report of the Property in Appendix V to this circular has taken into account the portion of the Property leased to the Purchaser (which accounted for an occupancy rate of approximately 15.38%). The Purchaser currently rents such portion of the Property for the purpose of conducting Environmental Assessment Procedures. The Board considers that the occupancy rate of 41.8% would not be reached but for the lease to the Purchaser, who leases the relevant portion of the Property with the view to purchase the Property and such lease pending completion of the Framework Agreement would facilitate the early completion of the Framework Agreement.

Continuous loss of the Target Company

The Target Company recorded net losses (before taxation) of approximately HK$1.59 million and HK$15.87 million for the year ended 31 March 2015 and 31 March 2016 respectively. As disclosed in the section headed “ Information of the Target Company and the Property ”, the Target Company recorded a net profit (after taxation) of RMB3,622,000 for the year ended 31 March 2017, compared to the net losses (after taxation) of RMB10,758,000 for the corresponding period in 2016. The change was mainly attributed to an increase in the fair value of the Property. The Board considered that the profitability of the Target Company may be affected by changes in the occupancy rate of the Property. Notwithstanding that the Target Company recorded a net profit for the year ended 31 March 2017, the Target Company recorded a loss from operations of approximately RMB836,000 for the year ended 31 March 2017.

Default by the Target Company and Power City

With regard to the Options which may seem lopsidedly favourable to the Purchaser, the Directors are of the view that the Options will only have actual consequence if the Target Company or Power City is in breach of the relevant provisions in the Framework Agreement, and take the view that the Target Company and Power City will not breach those terms and therefore does not expect the Options to become enforceable against the Target Company or Power City.

Property market fluctuations

The Company considers despite the fact that the property price in the PRC can potentially fluctuate during the Signing Period and that the risk may potentially be higher if the Signing Period is longer, there is no guarantee that the price of the Property would go up, and both Power City and the Purchaser will face the same risk of fluctuations in property price. The Company therefore does not consider the potential risk of property price fluctuations faced by the Company outweighs the benefits of the Disposals.

– 17 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As disclosed in the section headed “ Framework Agreement – Consideration ” above , the Company Disposal Consideration will be determined by the date of signing of the Target Company SPA which will be agreed between Power City and the Purchaser and may fall on any date in the Signing Period. During the Signing Period, the property market in the PRC is subject to fluctuations in property prices in response to factors such as, among other things, the introduction of new regulations or measures by the PRC government, the potential over-development or market downturn in the PRC property sector, and the world economy. The Company Disposal Consideration does not represent the property value of the Remaining Blocks at the date of signing of the Target Company SPA.

“Lock-up” before completion

The Company considers that despite the terms of the Disposals would restrict the Target Company or Power City from disposing the Property, directly or indirectly, during the Signing Period to accept more attractive offers from other potential purchasers, it is normal that vendors of most sale and purchase transactions, the completion of which does not occur at the same time as the signing of the relevant sale and purchase agreement, are locked-up pending the completion of the Disposals. The Company is of the view that retaining the freedom of the Target Company or Power City in disposing the Property by not agreeing to the Signing Period or asking for a shorter period for signing would potentially risk losing the deal and having to wait for another potential purchaser when there is no evidence indicating that any better alternative offer to acquire the Property from other purchasers in the near future is likely.

The Company considers the Disposals to be the only available opportunity to exit from the investment in the Property for the investors of Power City. The Company as well as the other shareholders of Power City consider that the benefits that the Disposals can bring about outweigh the potential risk of the duration of Signing Period and the obligations imposed on Power City as set out in the section headed “ Framework Agreement – Other principal terms ” above.

Reduction of costs and new potential investment

Prior to completion of the Disposals, the Target Company finances the operation of the Property mainly by intercompany loans, bank loans and its internally generated cash flow.

In particular, the outstanding amount of the bank loans obtained to finance the Company’s investment in the Property amounted to approximately RMB32,155,000 as at 31 March 2017. Such loans bear interest at the People’s Bank of China Base Interest Rate per annum (which was 4.75% per annum for the year ended 31 March 2017), and is repayable by instalments semi-annually until July 2020.

The Company considers that the Disposals, if materialised, would allow the Company to repay the relevant loans obtained to finance the Company’s investment in the Property and thereby reduce the financial cost, and an earlier exit will allow the Company to release its investment already locked up in the Property, stop deploying its resources in financing the operation of the Property and obtain a return from such investment. Upon completion of the Property Disposals it is expected that the Group would save approximately

– 18 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RMB1,825,000 of finance cost, assuming 1) the People’s Bank of China Base Interest Rate per annum remained at 4.75% and 2) the repayment of the relevant bank loans are on 31 October 2017 after receiving the remaining 50% of the Property Disposal consideration in accordance to the Property Disposal consideration outlined in page 14 of this circular. As a result, there will be an increase in the Company’s cash flow which could allow the Company to invest in other projects with better potential returns.

The Company has already contemplated off-loading the Property at an appropriate time and this is an opportunity that allows the Company to do so. The Company has decided to dispose of the Property which could enable the Company to re-allocate the resources involved to other suitable real estate investment opportunities.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS

Disposal

After completion of the Disposals, the Target Company will cease to be a subsidiary of the Group and the Company will cease to have any equity interest in the Target Company.

Assuming the Property Disposal has been completed on 31 March 2017, the Group would decrease the total comprehensive income of the Group after the Property Disposal of approximately HK$5 million for the year ended 31 March 2017 which is calculated with reference to (i) consideration for the Property Disposal of approximately HK$48 million; (ii) the fair value of Block 4 of approximately HK$47 million as at 31 March 2017; (iii) reversal of deferred tax liabilities of approximately HK$2 million; and (iv) the estimated tax effects in relation to the Property Disposal calculated at the applicable tax rates of approximately HK$8 million.

Assuming the Company Disposal has been completed on 31 March 2017, the Group would increase the total comprehensive income of the Group after the Company Disposal of approximately HK$40 million for the year ended 31 March 2017 which is calculated with reference to (i) consideration for the Company Disposal of approximately HK$321 million; (ii) adjustments to the consideration of approximately HK$93 million; (iii) net book value of the Target Company as at 31 March 2017 following the Property Disposal of approximately HK$146 million; (iv) reversal of deferred tax liabilities of approximately HK$28 million; and (v) estimated tax effects in relation to the Company Disposal calculated at the applicable tax rate of approximately HK$14 million. The gain on the Company Disposal is assumed the Target Company SPA would be signed in 2017 and therefore the agreed price of HK$7,096 per sq.m. was used as a basis of the consideration of the Company Disposal.

The Board considered that the Property Disposal and the Company Disposal should be considered together, rather than as segregated and independent transactions. Notwithstanding that there would be a decrease of the total comprehensive income of the Group after the Property Disposal of approximately HK$5 million as illustrated above, the overall financial effect should be considered and in doing so, the increase of the total comprehensive income of the Group after the Company Disposal of approximately HK$40 million should also be taken into account.

4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

Looking ahead, the Group will continue to focus on property development and investment in the coming years. Similar to the Group’s ongoing investments in the property sectors in the Greater China, the United States of America and the United Kingdom, the new projects will continue to align with the Group’s strategy of securing high-potential investments, growing asset values and exiting within a three-to-five-year horizon.

The Group will continue to leverage on its experienced management team and business partners to evaluate future real estate investment opportunities and further diversify the Group’s investment portfolio in order to maximise future returns for shareholders. The Group will also continue to actively manage its ongoing investments in the Greater China region and overseas to support its future performance and unlock value for shareholders in a timely manner.

The Group hopes that through the acquisition of the business and certain assets of Quarella S.p.A. (via a joint venture company of the Company), a world-leading producer of quartz and marble based stone composite services products, based in Italy, will expand the Group’s investment portfolio and the Group believes that this investment has potential for value growth to provide a decent return to the Shareholders in the medium term.

The Directors expect that the financial position of the Group will remain solid taking into account the financial resources available to and the strong assets base of the Group.

Set out below is the management discussion and analysis of the Remaining Group’s business and performance for each of the three financial years ended 31 March 2017, 2016 and 2015.

Liquidity, Financial Resources and Capital Structure

The management and control of the Remaining Group’s financial, capital management and external financing functions are centralised at its headquarters in Hong Kong. The Remaining Group adheres to the principle of prudent financial management to minimise financial and operational risks. The Remaining Group mainly relies upon internally generated funds and bank borrowings to finance its operations and expansion.

As at 31 March 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Remaining Group’s current assets were HK$1,279 million, HK$1,433 million and HK$1,057 million and current liabilities were HK$355 million, HK$673 million and HK$225 million respectively. The Remaining

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Property Development

The Remaining Group made substantial progress in moving forward its property development investments during the three years ended 31 March 2017, 2016 and 2015. Highlights included building more high-potential overseas properties to investment portfolio since 2015, handing over of the majority of residential units of The Paseo, the Remaining Group’s first residential real estate project in Hong Kong.

During the years, the Remaining Group has been active in acquiring both Hong Kong and overseas property development sites, including the Maple Street Project and the Wing Hong Street Project in Hong Kong and several new residential properties in Los Angeles, California, the U.S.A. The Remaining Group’s strategy adheres to redevelop such sites by demolishing the existing buildings and constructing new high quality properties for reselling purposes. In addition, this segment is leading the Remaining Group to develop new revenue streams by leveraging its considerable property development experience to provide management services.

Property Investment and Hospitality Operations

For the three years ended 31 March 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Remaining Group holds several properties and hospitality operations in Hong Kong and Bhutan respectively. In Hong Kong, the Remaining Group continues to retain two floors of Rykadan Capital Tower for its own use and for rental income or potential rental income. In Bhutan, the Remaining Group has invested in a 24-suite boutique resort located in Bhutan’s Punakha Valley, for which operations and occupancy has been stable.

Distribution of Construction and Interior Decorative Materials

During the years, a subsidiary of the Remaining Group is the exclusive distributor of Quarella, a world leader in the production of quartz and marble-based stone composite surfaces products, in the PRC market.

It has supplied materials for a number of prominent commercial buildings and shopping malls in many markets around the world, including the PRC and Hong Kong.

Prospects

The Remaining Group is cautiously optimistic about the strength of the Hong Kong residential, commercial and industrial property markets, with its ongoing industrial property redevelopment projects remaining well placed to benefit from rising demand for commercial and industrial space outside the city’s traditional central business district. It has launched the pre-sale of its second industrial redevelopment project in the West Kowloon area – a district that is currently experiencing rapid revitalisation – in order to take advantage of this trend.

The Remaining Group is also confident about the long-term prospects of the U.S.A. and the U.K. property markets, despite ongoing risks associated with Brexit and other political events, as well as from increasing interest rates.

Prospects for the Remaining Group’s construction and interior decorative materials business will continue to be supported by economic stimulus in the PRC, as well as other government efforts such as the Belt and Road Initiative, which should support the domestic construction industry, particularly in the second/third-tier cities and western regions of the PRC.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

NOTES TO THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1 Basis of preparation and presentation of Historical Financial Information

Bestlinkage NHI Co., Ltd. (the “Target Company”) was established in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) on 29 November 2007 with limited liability under the Company Law of the PRC. The registered capital is USD12,700,000. The principal activity of the Target Company is property holding. Its ultimate holding company is Rykadan Capital Limited (“the Company”), a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability, the shares of which are listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”). Its immediate holding company is Power City Investments Limited (“Power City”), a subsidiary of the Company incorporated in Hong Kong.

The statutory financial statements of the Target Company for the years ended 31 December 2014, 2015 and 2016 were prepared in accordance with the relevant accounting rules and regulations applicable in the PRC, and were audited by Shanghai Linfang Certified Public Accountants Company Limited(上海琳方會計師事務所有限公司), a firm of certified public accountants registered in the PRC.

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 HKICPA. Further details of the significant accounting policies adopted are set out in note 2.

The Historical Financial Information also complies with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange.

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 Periods, except for any new standards or interpretations that are not yet effective for the accounting period ended 31 March 2017. The revised and new accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective for the Relevant Periods are set out in note 18.

The Historical Financial Information of the Target Company for the Relevant Periods is presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is also the functional currency of the Target Company. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand (RMB’000) except where otherwise indicated.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the Historical Financial Information.

2 Significant accounting policies

(a) Going concern

Notwithstanding the net current liabilities of the Target Company at 31 March 2015, 2016 and 2017, the Historical Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis as Rykadan Capital Limited, the ultimate holding company, has confirmed that it will continue to provide such financial assistance as is necessary to maintain the Target Company as a going concern and to enable it to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due over the next twelve months from the end of the Relevant Periods.

(b) Basis of measurement

The measurement basis used in the preparation of the Historical Financial Information is the historical cost basis except where stated otherwise in the accounting policies set out below.

(c) Use of estimates and judgements

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

– 40 –

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

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 3.

(d) Investment properties

Investment properties are land and/or buildings which are owned or held under a leasehold interest (see note 2(e)) to earn rental income and/or for capital appreciation. These include land held for a currently undetermined future use and property that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment property.

Investment properties are stated at fair value, unless they are still in the course of construction or development at the end of the reporting period and their fair value cannot be reliably measured at that time. Any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value or from the retirement or disposal of an investment property is recognised in profit or loss. Rental income from investment properties is accounted for as described in note 2(l)(i).

When the Target Company holds a property interest under an operating lease to earn rental income and/or for capital appreciation, the interest is classified and accounted for as an investment property on a property-by-property basis. Any such property interest which has been classified as an investment property is accounted for as if it were held under a finance lease (see note 2(e)), and the same accounting policies are applied to that interest as are applied to other investment properties leased under finance leases. Lease payments are accounted for as described in note 2(e).

(e) Leased assets

An arrangement, comprising a transaction or a series of transactions, is or contains a lease if the Target Company determines that the arrangement conveys a right to use a specific asset or assets for an agreed period of time in return for a payment or a series of payments. Such a determination is made based on an evaluation of the substance of the arrangement and is regardless of whether the arrangement takes the legal form of a lease.

(i) Classification of assets leased to the Target Company

Assets that are held by the Target Company under leases which transfer to the Target Company substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as being held under finance leases. Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the Target Company are classified as operating leases, with the following exception:

  • property held under operating leases that would otherwise meet the definition of an investment property is classified as investment property on a property-by-property basis and, if classified as investment property, is accounted for as if held under a finance lease (see note 2(d)).

(ii) Operating leases

Where the Target Company has the use of assets held under operating leases, payments made under the leases are charged to profit or loss in equal instalments over the accounting periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of

– 41 –

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

benefits to be derived from the leased asset. Lease incentives received are recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the aggregate net lease payments made. Contingent rentals are charged to profit or loss in the accounting period in which they are incurred.

The cost of acquiring land held under an operating lease is amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease term except where the property is classified as an investment property (see note 2(d)) or is held for development for sale.

(f) Receivables

Receivables are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts.

Impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts are recognised when there is objective evidence of impairment and are measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial asset and the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate where the effect of discounting is material. Objective evidence of impairment includes observable data that comes to the attention of the Target Company about events that have an impact on the asset’s estimated future cash flows such as significant financial difficulty of the debtor.

(g) Interest-bearing borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between the amount initially recognised and redemption value being recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings, together with any interest and fees payable, using the effective interest method.

(h) Payables

Payables are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently stated at amortised cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

(i) 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. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Target Company’s cash management are also included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the cash flow statement.

(j) Income tax

Income tax for the Relevant Periods 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 Relevant Periods, 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.

– 42 –

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

Where investment properties are carried at their fair value in accordance with the accounting policy set out in note 2(d), the amount of deferred tax recognised is measured using the tax rates that would apply on sale of those assets at their carrying value at the reporting date unless the property is depreciable and is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the property over time, rather than through sale. In all other cases, 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.

(k) Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the Target Company has a 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 expenditure expected to settle the obligation.

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 of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

(l) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Provided it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Target Company and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably, revenue is recognised in profit or loss as follows:

  • (i) Rental income from operating leases

Rental income receivable under operating leases is recognised in profit or loss in equal instalments over the periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the use of the leased asset. Lease incentives granted are recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the aggregate net lease payments receivable. Contingent rentals are recognised as income in the accounting period in which they are earned. Rental income is recognised net of business tax.

  • (ii) Interest income

Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method.

(m) 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.

Accounting judgements and estimates

Sources of estimation uncertainty

The methods, estimates and judgements the directors used in applying the Target Company’s accounting policies have a significant impact on the Target Company’s financial position and operating results. Some of the accounting policies require the Target Company to apply estimates and judgements on matters that are inherently uncertain. The critical accounting judgements in applying the Target Company’s accounting policies are described below.

Valuation of investment properties

Investment properties are included in the statement of financial position at their market value, unless they are still in the course of construction or development at the end of the reporting period and their fair value cannot be reliably determined at that time. The market value of investment properties is assessed semi-annually by independent qualified valuers, after taking into consideration the net rental income and other available market survey reports.

The assumptions adopted in the property valuation include market rents of properties with similar characteristic within the vicinity, expected market rental growth of the properties, appropriate discount rate and stabilised occupancy rate.

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

(b) Fair value hierarchy

  • (i) The Target Company’s investment properties measured at fair value at the end of the reporting periods on a recurring basis are categorised into three-level fair value hierarchy as defined in HKFRS 13, Fair value measurement . The level into which a fair value measurement is classified is determined with reference to the observability and significance of the inputs used in the valuation technique as follows:

  • Level 1 valuations: Fair value measured using only Level 1 inputs i.e. unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

  • Level 2 valuations: Fair value measured using Level 2 inputs i.e. observable inputs which fail to meet Level 1, and not using significant unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs are inputs for which market data are not available.

  • Level 3 valuations: Fair value measured using significant unobservable inputs.

At 31 March 2015, 2016 and 2017, the Target Company’s investment properties fall into Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as described above.

The Target Company’s policy is to recognise transfers between levels of fair value hierarchy as at the end of the reporting period in which they occur. During the years ended 31 March 2015, 2016 and 2017, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 or transferred into or out of Level 3.

The investment properties in the PRC were revalued as at 31 March 2015, 2016 and 2017 by Colliers International (Hong Kong) Limited, an independent firm of surveyors who has among their staff Fellows of the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors with recent experience in the location and category of properties being valued.

Valuation processes

The senior management of the Target Company reviews the valuation performed by the independent valuer for financial reporting purposes by verifying all major inputs and assessing the reasonableness of the property valuation. A valuation report with an analysis of changes in fair value measurement is prepared at each annual reporting date, and is reviewed and approved by the senior management.

Valuation methodologies

The fair value of investment properties in the PRC is determined by discounting a projected cash flow series associated with the properties using discount rate, takes into account expected market rental growth of the properties and stabilised occupancy rate. The discount rate used has been adjusted for the quality and location of the buildings and the tenant credit quality. The fair value measurement is positively correlated to the expected market rental growth and negatively correlated to the discount rate.

(b) Capital management

The Target Company’s primary objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Target Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholder, by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk and by securing access to finance at a reasonable cost. As the Target Company is part of a larger group, the Target Company’s sources of additional capital and policies for distribution of excess capital may also be affected by the larger group’s capital management objectives.

The Target Company defines “capital” as including all components of equity plus any loans from other group companies with no fixed terms of repayment. Trading balances that arise as a result of trading transactions with other group companies are not regarded by the Target Company as capital.

The Target Company’s capital structure is regularly reviewed and managed with due regard to the capital management practices of the larger group to which the Target Company belongs. Adjustments are made to the capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions affecting the Target Company or the larger group to which the Target Company belongs, to the extent that these do not conflict with the directors’ fiduciary duties towards the Target Company.

There has been no change in the Target Company’s capital management practices as compared to prior year and the Target Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

15 Financial risk management and fair values of financial instruments

The Target Company’s major financial instruments include cash at bank, other receivables, deposits and prepayments, payables and accruals, amounts due to a related company/immediate holding company and bank loans. The risks associated with these financial instruments include liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

(a) Liquidity risk

The Target Company’s policy is to regularly monitor its liquidity requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash and committed lines of funding from major financial institutions and/or group companies to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.

(b) Interest rate risk

At 31 March 2015, 2016 and 2017, the Target Company’s interest rate risk arises primarily from variable-rate bank loans. The interest rate and terms of repayment of the bank loans are set out in note 12. The Target Company does not have an interest rate hedging policy. However, management monitors closely the interest rate exposure and will consider other necessary actions when significant interest rate exposure is anticipated.

Sensitivity analysis

For variable-rate bank loans, the analysis is prepared assuming the bank loans outstanding at the end of the reporting period were outstanding for the whole year. A 50 basis points increase or decrease in variable-rate bank loans represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates. If interest rate increases/decrease by the aforesaid basis point, and all other variables were held constant, the Target Company’s post-tax results for the years ended 31 March 2015, 2016 and 2017 would be decreased/increased by approximately RMB258,000, RMB209,000 and RMB161,000 respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis for the Relevant Periods.

In the opinion of the directors, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent interest rate risk as the year end exposure does not reflect the exposure during the Relevant Periods.

(c) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities carried at other than fair values

All financial instruments carried at other than fair values are carried at amounts not materially different from their fair values as at 31 March 2015, 2016 and 2017.

16 Material related party transaction

Apart from elsewhere disclosed in the Historical Financial Information, the Target Company had entered into the following significant transactions with the related party during the Relevant Periods:

2015 2016 2017
RMB’000 RMB’000 RMB’000
Asset management expense paid/payable to Kailong REI
Project Investment Consulting (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. 1,125 731 337

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

17 Immediate and ultimate controlling party

At 31 March 2015, 2016 and 2017, the directors consider the immediate parent and ultimate controlling party of the Target Company to be Power City which is incorporated in Hong Kong, and Rykadan Capital Limited which is incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Rykadan Capital Limited produces financial statements available for public use.

18 Possible impact of amendments, new standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective for the Relevant Periods

Up to the date of issue of the Historical Financial Information, the HKICPA has issued a number of amendments and new standards which are not yet effective for the Relevant Periods and which have not been adopted in the Historical Financial Information. These include the following which may be relevant to the Target Company.

Effective for
accounting periods
beginning on or after
Amendments to HKAS 7, Statement of cash flows: Disclosure initiative 1 January 2017
Amendments to HKAS 12, Income taxes: Recognition of deferred tax assets for 1 January 2017
unrealised losses
HKFRS 9, Financial instruments 1 January 2018
HKFRS 15, Revenue from contracts with customers 1 January 2018
HKFRS 16, Leases 1 January 2019

The Target Company is in the process of making an assessment of what the impact of these amendments and new standards is expected to be in the period of initial application. So far the Target Company has identified some aspects of the new standards which may have a significant impact on the Historical Financial Information. Further details of the expected impacts are discussed below. As the Target Company has not completed its assessment, further impacts may be identified in due course and will be taken into consideration when determining whether to adopt any of these new requirements before their effective date and which transitional approach to take, where there are alternative approaches allowed under the new standards.

HKFRS 9, Financial instruments

HKFRS 9 will replace the current standard on accounting for financial instruments, HKAS 39, Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement . HKFRS 9 introduces new requirements for classification and measurement of financial assets, calculation of impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting. On the other hand, HKFRS 9 incorporates without substantive changes the requirements of HKAS 39 for recognition and derecognition of financial instruments and the classification of financial liabilities. Expected impacts of the new requirements on the Target Company’s Historical Financial Information are as follows:

Impairment

The new impairment model in HKFRS 9 replaces the “incurred loss” model in HKAS 39 with an “expected credit loss” model. Under the expected credit loss model, it will no longer be necessary for a loss event to occur before an impairment loss is recognised. Instead, an entity is required to recognise and measure expected credit losses as either 12-month expected credit losses or lifetime expected credit losses, depending on the asset and the facts and circumstances. This new impairment model may result in an earlier recognition of credit losses on the Target Company’s financial assets. However, a more detailed analysis is required to determine the extent of the impact.

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE REMAINING GROUP

APPENDIX IV

Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Remaining Group

  1. The adjustments represent (i) the receipt of Deposit of RMB2,000,000 (equivalent to HKD2,253,000) within two days from the signing of the Framework Agreement and the Framework Agreement becoming effective; (ii) the disposal of Block 4 as if the Property Disposal had taken place on 31 March 2017 and (iii) assumed settlement of bank loans of the Target Company of RMB32,155,000 (equivalent to HKD36,219,000) upon the Property Disposal.

(3,018)
(2,092)

The estimated loss on the Property Disposal is calculated as the cash consideration for the Property Disposal of RMB42,529,000 (equivalent to HKD47,904,000), net of estimated value added tax (“VAT”), land appreciation tax and other taxes of HKD2,281,000, HKD5,405,000 and HKD297,000 respectively, reversal of deferred tax liabilities previously recognised of HKD2,277,000 and the carrying amount of Block 4 as at 31 March 2017 amounted to RMB42,000,000 (equivalent to HKD47,308,000). The exchange rate being used to convert RMB to HKD is RMB1 to HKD1.1264.

The fair value of the options granted in connection with the transactions has not been taken into account in the above transaction. In the opinion of the directors of the Company, there are no significant fair value for the options as either their exercise prices are the considerations that have to be arrived at using fair values to be determined by independent professional valuers or the directors of the Company consider the fair value of the options is insignificant.

  1. The adjustments reflect (i) the re-acquisition of Block 4 upon the assumed exercise of Option B by the Purchaser; (ii) the refund of the Deposit of HKD2,253,000 (note 1) to the Purchaser; (iii) the compensation of RMB17,000,000 (equivalent to HKD19,148,000) which comprises penalty of RMB15,000,000 and deposit compensation of RMB2,000,000, and (iv) the tax arising from the re-acquisition including VAT and other taxes of HKD4,747,000 and HKD593,000 respectively assumed for the purchase by the Company, assuming that the Possible VSA – Option B had taken place on 31 March 2017. The exchange rate being used to convert RMB to HKD is RMB1 to HKD1.1264.

The pro forma consideration for the acquisition of Block 4 at the prevailing market price is assumed to be the same as the consideration for the disposal of Block 4 of HKD45,623,000 (VAT exclusive). The carrying amount of Block 4 includes the pro forma consideration and other taxes of HKD1,392,000. VAT recoverable of HKD4,747,000 arising from the re-acquisition is included in other receivables, deposits and prepayments.

  1. The adjustments represent the reversal of all of the pro forma adjustments made for the Possible VSA – Option B in order to illustrate the effects of the completion of the Property Disposal.

Statement of financial position items are translated into Hong Kong dollars at the closing foreign exchange rates at the end of each reporting period. The resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated separately in equity in the exchange reserve.

On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences relating to that foreign operation is reclassified from equity to profit or loss when the profit or loss on disposal is recognised. The adjustments represent the cumulative amount of the exchange differences relating to the Target Company reclassified to profit or loss as if the Target Company had taken place on 1 April 2016.

  1. The adjustments represent the tax arising from the re-acquisition including VAT and other taxes of HKD5,058,000 and HKD631,000 respectively.

TO THE DIRECTORS OF RYKADAN CAPITAL LIMITED

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of pro forma financial information of Rykadan Capital Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”) by the directors of the Company (the “Directors”) for illustrative purposes only. The pro forma financial information consists of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2017 and the unaudited pro forma consolidated income statement, unaudited pro-forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income and unaudited pro forma consolidated cash flow statement for the year ended 31 March 2017 and related notes as set out in Part A of Appendix IV to the circular dated 22 September 2017 (the “Circular”) issued by the Company. The applicable criteria on the basis of which the Directors have compiled the pro forma financial information are described in Part A of Appendix IV to the Circular.

The pro forma financial information has been compiled by the Directors to illustrate the impact of the very substantial disposal in relation to the disposal of the Block 4 of Kailong Nanhui Business Park (the “Block 4”) held by Bestlinkage NHI Co., Ltd. (the “Target Company”) and the entire interests of the Target Company and the possible very substantial acquisition in relation to the grant of options to buy back Block 4 and/or the Target Company (together, the “Proposed Transactions”) on the Group’s financial position as at 31 March 2017 and the Group’s financial performance and cash flows for the year ended 31 March 2017 as if the Proposed Transactions had taken place at 31 March 2017 and 1 April 2016, respectively. As part of this process, information about the Group’s financial position as at 31 March 2017 and the Group’s financial performance and cash flows for the year ended 31 March 2017 has been extracted by the Directors from the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year then ended, on which an audit report has been published.

Directors’ Responsibilities for the Pro Forma Financial Information

The Directors are responsible for compiling the pro forma financial information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”) and with reference to Accounting Guideline 7 “Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars” (“AG 7”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”).

Our Independence and Quality Control

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the HKICPA, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behavior.

The firm applies Hong Kong Standard on Quality Control 1 “Quality Control for Firms That Perform Audits and Reviews of Financial Statements, and Other Assurance and Related Services Engagements” issued by the HKICPA and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Reporting Accountants’ Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by paragraph 4.29(7) of the Listing Rules, on the pro forma financial information and to report our opinion to you. We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the pro forma financial information beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements (“HKSAE”) 3420 “Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus” issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that the reporting accountants plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Directors have compiled the pro forma financial information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules, and with reference to AG 7 issued by the HKICPA.

For purpose of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information.

The purpose of pro forma financial information included in an investment circular is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant event or transaction on the unadjusted financial information of the Group as if the event had occurred or the transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the events or transactions at 31 March 2017 or 1 April 2016 would have been as presented.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the Directors in the

compilation of the pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

  • the related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and

  • the pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.

The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants’ judgement, having regard to the reporting accountants’ understanding of the nature of the Group, the event or transaction in respect of which the pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the pro forma financial information.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

In our opinion:

  • a) the pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis stated;

  • b) such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Group, and

  • c) the adjustments are appropriate for the purposes of the pro forma financial information as disclosed pursuant to paragraph 4.29(1) of the Listing Rules.

In determining the market value of the Property, we have valued the Property by using the Income Approach – the Discounted Cash Flow Method and the Market Approach.

Discounted Cash Flow Method is the process of valuing an investment property or asset by undertaking an estimation of future cash flows and taking into account the time value of money. In the Discounted Cash Flow Method, the income is projected over the investment cycle and the net income is calculated after the deduction of the capital, operating, and other necessary expenses.

Market Approach provides an indication of value by comparing the subject asset with identical or similar assets for which price information is available. By analysing such sales, which qualify as “arm’s-length” transactions, between willing buyers and sellers, adjustments are made for size, location, time, amenities and other relevant factors when comparing such sales prices to assess the value of the subject asset. This approach is commonly used to value assets where reliable sales evidence of assets of a similar nature is available.

VALUATION STANDARDS

This valuation has been carried out in accordance with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) Global Valuation Professional Standards, incorporating the International Valuation Standards of the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC).
