To the Shareholders

Dear Sir/Madam,

(1) VERY SUBSTANTIAL DISPOSAL NEW FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT IN RELATION TO SALE OF THE PROPERTY BY WAY OF THE NEW DISPOSAL AND

(2) VERY SUBSTANTIAL ACQUISITION GRANT OF THE NEW OPTION

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the circular of the Company dated 22 September 2017 in relation to, among other things, the Original Framework Agreement and the Original Property SPA. Pursuant to the terms of the Original Framework Agreement and the Original Property SPA, it was originally contemplated that the Property would be sold, directly or indirectly, to the

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Purchaser in two stages, namely through (1) the disposal of Block 4 by the Target Company to the Purchaser, followed by (2) the disposal by Power City of its 100% equity interest in the Target Company (which would by then be holding only the Remaining Blocks) to the Purchaser.

Reference is also made to the announcement of the Company dated 13 June 2019, in which it was announced that due to the difficulties encountered in obtaining approval from the authorities for the Original Disposals which were structured to effectively dispose the Property in two stages, the Group and the Purchaser had re-assessed and further negotiated on the deal structure for the disposal of the Property, in order to complete such disposal. After arm’s length negotiations, Power City and the Target Company entered into the New Framework Agreement with the Purchaser on 13 June 2019 in relation to the disposal of the Property by way of the New Disposal, which will replace the Original Framework Agreement and the Original Property SPA. At the same time of the New Framework Agreement being entered into:

  • (i) the Target Company and the Purchaser also entered into the Lease Agreement which will supersede the previous leasing arrangement in respect of Block 4 entered into between them upon the Lease Agreement becoming effective; and

  • (ii) Power City, the Target Company and the Purchaser also entered into the Memorandum to supplement the New Framework Agreement.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, (i) further details of the New Disposal and the grant of the New Option, (ii) the notice of the EGM and (iii) other information as required under the Listing Rules.

NEW FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT

The principal terms of the New Framework Agreement are summarised below:

Date

13 June 2019

Parties

  • (1) Power City, an indirect subsidiary of the Company;

  • (2) the Target Company, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Power City; and

  • (3) the Purchaser.

Termination of the original agreements

The Original Framework Agreement and the Original Property SPA will be automatically terminated upon the New Framework Agreement becoming effective.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Assets to be disposed of

The Target Company owns the Property (which comprises Block 4 and the Remaining Blocks).

Power City has agreed to sell, and the Purchaser has agreed to purchase, the entire equity interest in the Target Company. After Completion, the Target Company will cease to be a subsidiary of the Group and the Company will cease to have any interest in the Property. Under the New Disposal, there will be no separate direct disposal of Block 4 to the Purchaser as originally contemplated under the Original Property SPA.

Conditions precedent

Completion is conditional upon:

  • (1) the New Framework Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder having been approved by the Shareholders in accordance with the Listing Rules on or before 30 September 2019;

  • (2) the New Framework Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder having been approved at the shareholders’ meeting of the Purchaser on or before 30 September 2019; and

  • (3) if the New Framework Agreement is entered into after the listing of the shares of the Purchaser on a domestic stock exchange in the PRC, the shareholders of the Purchaser having performed such decision-making processes as may be required by the China Securities Regulatory Commission.

The Company is informed by the Purchaser that condition (2) has been satisfied. Meanwhile, since the shares of the Purchaser were not listed on a domestic stock exchange in the PRC when the New Framework Agreement was entered into, condition (3) is not applicable.

Effectiveness

The New Framework Agreement, which is legally binding on the parties thereto, shall become effective upon (a) it being signed by, and chopped with the official seals of the signing parties and (b) the conditions in the sub-section headed “ Conditions precedent ” above having been satisfied.

Consideration

The Consideration is comprised of the Share Consideration and the Loan Repayment.

Subject to the Post-Completion Adjustment (if any), the Share Consideration should be determined with reference to the Reference Date Audit Report, and is to be calculated as follows:

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (1) the agreed total price of the Property of RMB363,738,488, being the agreed unit price of the Property (i.e. approximately RMB6,954 per sq.m.) multiplied by the gross floor area of the Property (i.e. 52,304.07 sq.m.); plus

  • (2) the amount of the assets of the Target Company (other than the Property) as at the Reference Date as shown in the Reference Date Audit Report, which should only comprise bank deposit, accounts receivables, accounts prepayment and other receivables; minus

  • (3) the total liabilities of the Target Company as at the Reference Date as shown in the Reference Date Audit Report.

Based on the latest unaudited management accounts of the Target Company dated 31 March 2019 prepared in accordance with the Chinese Accounting Standards, the amount of the assets of the Target Company (other than the Property) was approximately RMB8 million, whereas the total liabilities of the Target Company was approximately RMB120 million, as at 31 March 2019[1] . For illustration purpose only, the Share Consideration would be approximately RMB252 million assuming the Reference Date was 31 March 2019.

The Purchaser is also required to make the Loan Repayment to Power City. The amount of the Loan Repayment is to be calculated as the amount of the loan owing by the Target Company to Power City, including shareholder’s loan and other liabilities. As at the Latest Practicable Date, (i) the shareholder’s loan was approximately RMB88,304,000, being an interest-free loan provided by Power City to the Target Company in connection with the acquisition of the Property and as general working capital of the Target Company, and (ii) the Target Company does not owe any other liabilities to Power City, save that the Deposits will be regarded as liabilities owing to Power City by the Target Company, as mentioned in the sub-section headed “Deposits” below.

As elaborated in the section headed “ Reasons for and benefits of the New Disposal ” below, the parties have been facing difficulties in implementing the Original Disposals in the way they were originally structured. Had there not been such difficulties, the disposal of the Property would have proceeded to completion according to the terms of the Original Framework Agreement. Considering that it would be the only available opportunity for the investors of Power City to exit from the investment in the Property, the Original Framework Agreement and the Original Property SPA are contracts which are legally binding on the parties, and the parties intend to overcome such difficulties so as to give effect to the spirit and intent of the Original Framework Agreement and the Original Property SPA, Power City and the Target Company therefore worked with the Purchaser and came up with a modified structure to implement the transactions contemplated under the Original Framework Agreement and the Original Property SPA. It was against such backdrop that the terms of

1 These figures are different from those appearing in the Accountants’ Report of the Target Company set out on page II-4 of Appendix II to the Circular as the latter were prepared in accordance with the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards as opposed to the Chinese Accounting Standards. The major reasons of such differences are the recognition of the deferred tax liabilities derived from the Property which are carried at their fair values under the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards whereas the Property is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses under the Chinese Accounting Standards, and the exclusion of effective rent receivable arising from the rent-free arrangement with the Purchaser.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

the New Framework Agreement were negotiated and agreed after arm’s length negotiations between the parties. That also helps to explain why it was agreed that the Consideration shall be determined with reference to the agreed consideration for the Original Disposals. The Purchaser had bargained that the difference between (i) the transaction costs (in terms of tax and other administrative expenses) that are expected to be borne by the respective parties under the New Disposal, and (ii) the transaction costs (in terms of tax and other administrative expenses) that would have been borne by the respective parties had the Original Disposals proceeded to completion should be taken into account and reflected in the Consideration, as it is anticipated that under the New Disposal, lower transaction costs would be payable by Power City due to the change in deal structure. It was agreed between the parties that an amount of RMB8,550,000, which was arrived at after arm’s length negotiation between the parties, shall be deducted from the Consideration, to reflect the above. To give a clearer picture of how the Consideration is arrived at, calculation method of the total price of the Property under the New Disposal is set out as follows:–

plus
minus
the agreed price of Block 4 under the Original Property Disposal
(RMB6,000 per sq.m., with a gross floor area of 7,088.24 sq.m.)
the agreed total price of the Remaining Blocks under the Original
Company Disposal applicable to the case where the date of
signing of the agreement for the sale and purchase of the entire
equity interest of the Target Company pursuant to the Original
Framework Agreement is between 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2020
(RMB7,293 per sq.m., with a gross floor area of 45,215.83 sq.m.)
the combined agreed total price of the Property under the Original
Disposals
an amount agreed to be deducted as elaborated above
total price of the Property under the New Disposal
(RMB’000)
42,529
329,759
372,288

363,738

The Company has been advised by the independent valuer that two valuation approaches have been considered in assessing the market value of the Property namely, (I) Income Approach – Discounted Cash Flow Method and (II) Market Approach.

The Discounted Cash Flow Method reflects the property specific characteristics of income-producing property such as potential rental income growth, renewal rate, vacancy rates and all outgoings. As advised by the independent valuer, this method to a greater extent reflects the characteristics of the Property. In this regard, the primary valuation method adopted to arrive at its opinion of value is the Discounted Cash Flow Method. This approach takes into account the current and expected future operation of the Property.

The valuation derived from the Discounted Cash Flow Method has in turn been cross-checked with the Market Approach. Given that the Property will be sold as a whole through disposal of shares in the holding company, en-bloc transactions should be used as comparable evidence for the Market Approach. However there are no suitable en-bloc transactions that could be identified for use as comparable. The three comparables chosen were strata-title sales involving much smaller gross floor area (i.e. ranging from approximately 638 sq.m. to 2,000 sq.m., whereas the Property has a gross floor area of

– 11 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

approximately 52,304.07 sq.m.). In the cases of strata title sales, unit owners may sell off a smaller part of the business park much more easily, and the unit market price could be much higher than that of selling the entire business park. For such reason, strata-title sales prices are less reliable. In view of the nature of the Property and market information available, the valuation derived from the Discounted Cash Flow Method is considered by the independent valuer to be more reliable and therefore of higher relevance, and hence in arriving at the valuation of the Property, 100% weight has been given to the Discounted Cash Flow Method.

Having regard to, among others, the principle to give effect to the spirit and intent of the Original Framework Agreement and the prevailing market price of the Property, the Directors believe that the basis of determining the Consideration is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Terms of payment

The Purchaser is required to pay 50% of the Share Consideration (subject to deduction of withholding tax) to Power City as first instalment within 10 working days after the Target Company SPA becoming effective (for more details of the Target Company SPA, please refer to the section headed “ Other principal terms – The Target Company SPA and its timing of signing ” below).

The Purchaser and Power City are required to open a bank account within 5 working days after the receipt of the first instalment by Power City. The Purchaser is required to deposit the second instalment (being the balance of the Share Consideration less Deposits already paid by the Purchaser plus the amount of shareholders’ loan and other liabilities owing to Power City as at the Reference Date as shown in the Reference Date Audit Report) into such bank account within 60 days after such bank account is opened. Such bank account is to be opened in the name of the Target Company with a bank in Shanghai designated by the Purchaser and jointly managed by Power City and the Purchaser. If the Purchaser requires financing for the purpose of the transactions contemplated under the New Framework Agreement, Power City and the Target Company should cooperate accordingly provided that it would not constitute the violation of any laws or regulations (including the Listing Rules) applicable to Power City or to the Target Company or constitute a breach of the New Framework Agreement by Power City or the Target Company, and any costs or loss incurred as a result thereof by Power City and the Target Company should be borne or compensated by the Purchaser.

The Purchaser and Power City are required to apply to the relevant authorities for registration of transfer of 100% of the equity interest in the Target Company within 5 working days after the Purchaser has deposited the second instalment into the bank account mentioned above. If the Purchaser requires financing for the purpose of the transactions contemplated under the New Framework Agreement, the Purchaser should within 30 working days of the issuance of the New Business Licence complete the procedures for pledging the shares of the Target Company and the mortgage of the Property, and provide Power City with the relevant tax payment certificate and business registration certificate for foreign exchange payment. After receiving the aforesaid certificates, (a) Power City should cooperate with the Purchaser to release the balance of the Share Consideration from such

– 12 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

jointly managed account to the Purchaser to facilitate the payment of such balance by the Purchaser to an account in Hong Kong designated by Power City; and (b) the Purchaser should cooperate with Power City to release the balance of the second instalment to Power City from such jointly managed account to repay the shareholders’ loan owing to Power City. Thereafter any amount remaining in the jointly managed bank account should be released and paid to the Purchaser.

Pre-Completion audit

The Purchaser will at its own cost appoint an auditing institution acceptable to both the Purchaser and Power City, to prepare an audit report in accordance with the Chinese Accounting Standards in respect of the Target Company as at the Reference Date (the “ Reference Date Audit Report ”). The Reference Date Audit Report will be used for the calculation of the initial amount of the Consideration.

Post-Completion audit

The Purchaser will within 30 days after the Completion Date and at its own cost appoint an auditing institution acceptable to both the Purchaser and Power City, to audit the net asset value of the Target Company as at the Completion Date, and to issue the post-Completion audit report in accordance with the Chinese Accounting Standards (the “ Completion Date Audit Report ”). If the Completion Date Audit Report shows that the net asset value of the Target Company as at the Completion Date is lower than its net asset value as at the Reference Date, then Power City should refund the corresponding difference in amount to the Purchaser or the Target Company. On the contrary, the Purchaser should pay an amount equal to the difference to Power City.

Such refund or additional payment (as the case may be) should be settled by no later than 30 days after the issuance of the Completion Date Audit Report. If there is any delay in payment, a daily interest of 0.05% of the outstanding amount is payable until all refund or payment is made.

Within 90 days of the Completion Date, the Purchaser should procure that the Target Company repays to Power City any additional shareholders’ loan obtained from Power City after the Reference Date, determined based on the Completion Date Audit Report. In case of any delay in such repayment due to the relevant requirements or time for approval required by government, banks (which specifically refers to the scenario where the tax payment certificate has been obtained and the information required for business registration certificate for foreign exchange payment has been provided as per the relevant banks’ requirements, but the relevant bank refuses to provide the business registration certificate) or regulatory authorities, Power City and the Purchaser should negotiate and agree on a new deadline or come up with alternative method.

Deposits

The payments made on 27 July 2017 and 3 November 2017 respectively in the total amount of RMB23,264,720 by the Purchaser to the Target Company are deemed to be the payments of the first two out of the three Deposits.

– 13 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Within 7 working days of the New Framework Agreement becoming effective, the Purchaser is required to pay the Target Company the last of the three Deposits in the amount of RMB7 million.

The Deposits were/will be received by the Target Company on behalf of Power City, and will be regarded as liabilities owing to Power City by the Target Company.

Other principal terms

At the same time of entering into the New Framework Agreement, the Purchaser and the Target Company will enter into the Lease Agreement for the leasing of Block 4. Please refer to the section headed “ Lease Agreement ” below for a summary of the principal terms of the Lease Agreement.

The Target Company SPA and its timing of signing

In case of delay due to the relevant requirements or time for approval required by government, banks (which specifically refers to the scenario where the tax payment certificate has been obtained and the information required for business registration certificate for foreign exchange payment has been provided as per the relevant banks’ requirements, but the relevant bank refuses to provide the business registration certificate) or regulatory authorities, Power City and the Purchaser should negotiate and agree on a new deadline.

Failure to sign or complete the Target Company SPA

If the Target Company SPA fails to be signed and to become effective on or before 31 December 2020 or Completion fails to occur on or before 30 September 2021 due to the fault of the Purchaser, Power City may terminate the New Framework Agreement or the Target Company SPA, and is entitled to forfeit the Deposits, whilst the Purchaser should pay the Target Company RMB7,600,000 as one-off compensation, but Power City should refund the Consideration paid by the Purchaser (after deducting the Deposits). The one-off compensation is determined after arm’s length negotiation, which is roughly equivalent to the notional amount of rent for Block 4 for the period from 1 February 2019 to 30 September 2021 which would have been payable by the Purchaser if rent was payable on the basis mentioned in the section headed “ Lease Agreement – Rent ” below:–

From 1 February 2019 to 31 December 2019 2,486
From 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020 2,854
From 1 January 2021 to 30 September 2021 2,245
TOTAL 7,585

If the Target Company SPA fails to be signed and to become effective on or before 31 December 2020 or Completion fails to occur on or before 30 September 2021 due to the fault of Power City, the Purchaser may elect to either (i) terminate the New Framework Agreement (and the Target Company SPA, if signed) whereupon Power City is required to pay an amount equal to 200% of the Deposits (i.e. RMB60,529,440) to the Purchaser and refund the Consideration paid by the Purchaser (after deducting the Deposits); or (ii) demand Power City to proceed to perform the New Framework Agreement or the Target Company SPA for the New Disposal, and all expenses incurred as a result thereof (including litigation expenses, legal costs and investigation expenses) will be borne solely by Power City.

If the registration of the transfer of 100% of the equity interest in the Target Company has been completed, but Completion does not proceed due to default by any one party, the parties to the New Framework Agreement should after the receipt of notice to terminate the New Framework Agreement and within 30 days following the payment obligations in the preceding two paragraphs having been performed, complete the procedures for restoring the transfer of 100% equity interest in the Target Company, such that the equity interest in the Target Company would again be registered under the name of Power City. If the procedures for pledging the shares of the Target Company and the mortgage of the Property have been completed at the request of the Purchaser, the Purchaser should take all necessary actions to release the relevant share pledge and mortgage at the cost of the defaulting party.

Notwithstanding the aforesaid, in case the deadlines of 31 December 2020 or 30 September 2021 could not be met due to relevant requirements or time for approval required by government, banks (which specifically refers to the scenario where the tax payment certificate has been obtained and the information required for business registration certificate for foreign exchange payment has been provided as per the relevant bank’s requirements, but the relevant bank refuses to provide the business registration certificate) or regulatory authorities, Power City and the Purchaser should negotiate and agree on a new deadline.

Prior to the registration of the transfer of 100% of the equity interest in the Target Company, the Target Company owes an irrevocable and joint liability with Power City for the above obligations of Power City.

Undertakings

Power City has agreed to disclose the debt of the Target Company at the time of signing of the New Framework Agreement. The amount of the debt so disclosed is RMB120 million (being the debt of the Target Company as at 31 May 2019 based on the management

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

account of the Target Company prepared in accordance with Chinese Accounting Standard). Save with the prior consent of the Purchaser (which should not be unreasonably withheld), the difference between (i) the amount of debt of the Target Company on the Reference Date as disclosed in the Reference Date Audit Report and (ii) the amount of debt of the Target Company as disclosed in the New Framework Agreement (the “ Debt Difference ”) should not be greater than RMB15 million, and the types of the Target Company’s debt must not fall outside the scope of its business operations. The Target Company is also not allowed to provide external guarantee. If without the prior consent of the Purchaser, the Debt Difference is more than RMB15 million, then apart from the Post-Completion Adjustment, the Purchaser is entitled to deduct a sum representing 5% of such part of the Debt Difference which is over and above RMB15 million from the Consideration. Any additional shareholders’ loan and any additional liability owing to the Purchaser by the Target Company between the Reference Date and the Completion Date is excluded for the purpose of determining if there is any such difference.

If within 18 months after Completion, the Purchaser discovers that there was any undisclosed debt of the Target Company before the Completion Date, Power City is required to settle such undisclosed debt or pay an amount representing such undisclosed debt to the Purchaser within 30 days of receiving the notice and evidence of such debt from the Purchaser. Based on arm’s length negotiation, it was agreed that should there be any undisclosed debt of the Target Company before the Completion Date or any defect in Power City’s title over the equity interest in the Target Company, the Purchaser is entitled to demand Power City to pay off such undisclosed debt or to rectify such defect (as the case may be) within 30 days after receiving the Purchaser’s demand and evidence of such debt or defect. If after the expiry of such 30-day period, Power City still fails to settle such undisclosed debts and the amount of such unsettled debts is over RMB200,000, or to rectify such defect (as the case may be), (i) the Purchaser is entitled to terminate the New Framework Agreement and the Target Company SPA, and demand Power City to return any of the Consideration paid and to pay the Purchaser an amount equal to ten times of the undisclosed debts, and subject to Power City making the aforesaid payment, to transfer the shares in the Target Company back to Power City (the “New Option”); or (ii) the Purchaser is entitled to continue to perform the New Framework Agreement and the Target Company SPA, and demand Power City to pay the Purchaser an amount equal to ten times of the undisclosed debts. If the Purchaser discovers any material undisclosed debt of the Target Company or any defect in Power City’s title over the equity interest in the Target Company during the aforesaid period, and demands Power City to pay off such undisclosed debt or to rectify such defect, the Company will make such necessary disclosure or take such necessary action in compliance with the Listing Rules.

Power City irrevocability guarantees the obligations of the Target Company incurred on or before the Completion Date and assumes joint and several liability. The Purchaser irrevocability guarantees the obligations of the Target Company incurred after the Completion Date and assumes joint and several liability.

Rent:

The rent payable is to be calculated on the following basis:

For the period between RMB1.05 per sq.m. the Lease Effective Date per day and 31 December 2019 For the period between RMB1.1 per sq.m. 1 January 2020 and per day 31 December 2020 For the period between RMB1.16 per sq.m. 1 January 2021 and per day 31 December 2021 For the period between RMB1.22 per sq.m. 1 January 2022 and per day 31 December 2022

INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The financial information of the Target Company set out below is extracted from Appendix II to this circular prepared in accordance with the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards for the two years ended 31 March 2018 and 2019:

For the year ended For the year ended
31 March 2018 31 March 2019
RMB’000 RMB’000
Unaudited net profit before taxation 2,393 7,115
Unaudited net profit after taxation 2,393 7,101
As at As at
31 March 2018 31 March 2019
RMB’000 RMB’000
Net assets 137,172 144,273

The Land is located in the Nanhui area, an eastern part of Shanghai close to Shanghai Disney Resort, Shanghai Pudong International Airport and Shanghai Harbour City, and has excellent transport and communications network. Being in the Nanhui Industrial Zone of Shanghai, the PRC, the Land enjoys the preferential tax and subsidies policies available to state level economic and development zones. The Land has a site area of 34,760 sq.m. on which the Property, which has a total gross floor area of 52,304.07 sq.m., was erected. The period of land use rights over the Land is from 31 December 2006 to 30 December 2056.

The Property consists of five high quality buildings and a guard house, power shed and car park. Each building has four to five storeys and each storey has a gross floor area ranging from approximately 1,700 sq.m. to 4,000 sq.m. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Property has a total of 10 tenants (including the Purchaser). To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiry, such tenants are third parties independent of the Company and its connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules).

As at 31 March 2019, the unaudited net asset value of the Target Company was approximately RMB144 million, including the Property at the fair value as approximately RMB289 million which was valued by an independent valuer.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE NEW DISPOSAL

As disclosed in the circular of the Company dated 22 September 2017, the Group entered into the Original Framework Agreement and the Original Property SPA in relation to the Original Disposals. The Original Disposals contemplate a two-stage process at the request of the Purchaser in order to cater for its funding arrangement, and involve, firstly, the direct disposal of Block 4 by the Target Company to the Purchaser pursuant to the Original Property SPA and, subsequently, the indirect disposal of the Remaining Block to the Purchaser through the disposal of the entire issued shares in Target Company by Power City. The Original Framework Agreement and the Original Property SPA were approved at the

– 24 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

extraordinary general meeting of the Company held on 17 October 2017 and application for the necessary governmental approval of the Original Property Disposal was commenced shortly after the shareholders’ approval was obtained.

Prior to the entering into of the Original Framework Agreement and the Original Property SPA, the Group has consulted with NBPIDL and its superior authority and the key approving regulatory authority, MCJQEDZ, on the proposed implementation of the Original Disposals (i.e. the Original Property Disposal, followed by the Original Company Disposal, in two stages), and there was an indication of support for the Original Disposals. On 20 October 2017, NBPIDL formally issued its written submission to MCJQEDZ reporting, among others, that the proposed disposal of the Property would be implemented in stages, and seeking MCJQEDZ’s consent to the transfer of Block 4’s property ownership. In or around the second week of November 2017, MCJQEDZ gave its verbal reply that it was not minded to approve the Original Property Disposal on the ground that it was a partial sale (as opposed to an entire sale) of an industrial complex. Such view was different from the view previously obtained through the consultation. Subsequent to the consultation, there had been major changes in the personnel of, and the interpretation and implementation of the policies regarding the transfer of industrial land resources by, MCJQEDZ.

Shortly after receiving such verbal reply from MCJQEDZ, consultation with SPREEC in relation to the registration of transfer of Block 4’s property ownership was made and the feedback obtained from SPREEC was that additional approvals of four other regulatory authorities regarding the registration of transfer of Block 4’s property ownership, namely, Pudong Science, Technology and Economic Commission (浦東新區科技和經濟委員會), Pudong Development and Reform Commission (浦東新區發展和改革委員會), Shanghai Municipal Planning, Land and Resources Administration (上海市規劃國土資源局) and Shanghai Municipal Environmental Bureau (上海市環保局) (collectively the “ Two Commissions and Two Bureaux ”) would be required. Thereafter, the Group, its business partner and its consultants have spent enormous efforts on further communicating with MCJQEDZ and the Two Commissions and Two Bureaux, with a view to obtaining the necessary consent and approvals to proceed with the Original Disposals. Despite rounds of discussions with MCJQEDZ and the Two Commissions and Two Bureaux, the necessary consent and approvals have not been obtained yet. It has become apparent in early 2018 that it would be difficult if not impossible to obtain the required consent and approvals to proceed with the Original Disposals.

Due to the difficulty encountered by the Group as mentioned above, little progress has been made regarding the Original Disposals. Other than the original deposit of RMB2,000,000 made on 27 July 2017 pursuant to the Original Framework Agreement and the first instalment of RMB21,264,720 made on 3 November 2017 under the Original Property Disposal, no other payment has been made by the Purchaser to Power City or the Target Company in connection with the Original Disposals. No transfer of Block 4 (or any other part of the Property) or any shares in the Target Company to the Purchaser has taken place yet.

Upon assessment based on the status of the approval process and the time such process has already taken, in order that the intent and purposes of the Original Disposals could be achieved in a timelier manner, it has become necessary for the transacting parties to agree to

– 25 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

an alternative structure to implement the sale and purchase of the Property. After arm’s length negotiations between the Group and the Purchaser, the structure of the New Disposal was agreed on. It was also agreed that the payments made by the Purchaser of RMB2,000,000 and RMB21,264,720 respectively as mentioned above would be applied towards payments of the first two out of the three Deposits as provided under the New Framework Agreement.

The Company considers that the substance of the New Disposal is essentially the same as the Original Disposals under both of which Power City’s direct interest in the Target Company and indirect interest in the Property would be disposed of entirely. The Original Disposals would involve both a real estate sale and purchase transaction (whereby Block 4 would be disposed of directly) and a company sale and purchase transaction (whereby the Remaining Block would be disposed of indirectly) and the two transactions would be implemented in two stages. Whereas, the New Disposal is merely a company sale and purchase transaction and no longer involves the separate and direct disposal of any part of the Property (i.e. the entire Property would entirely be disposed of indirectly and in one go), and it is expected that the New Disposal would mainly be subject to the filing requirements of the Pudong Commission of Commerce (上海市浦東新區商務委員會), and the registration requirements of the Pudong Market Regulatory Bureau (上海市浦東新區市場監督管理局), whereas the approvals from NBPIDL, MCJQEDZ and the Two Commissions and Two Bureaux would no longer be required. As such, in comparison to the Original Disposals, the New Disposal is simpler and more straight-forward. It is therefore expected that by pursuing the New Disposal, the transacting parties would be able to overcome the difficulties they have been facing under the Original Disposals, and thereby allowing the Company to proceed further with the intended disposal of the Group’s interest in the Property and ultimately bringing the benefits to the Group that were intended to be brought about by the Original Disposals. The Company has sought legal opinion from its legal advisers as to PRC laws, Beijing Yingke Law Firm Shanghai Office, in respect of the New Disposal, and is advised that the New Disposal would be legal and effective and that there would be no substantive legal obstacles, and therefore the Company does not expect there to be similar complications in obtaining approval from the relevant authorities when implementing the New Disposal.

With regard to the New Option granted in favour of the Purchaser, the Directors are of the view that as is the case with the equivalent options granted under the Original Framework Agreement and the Original Property SPA, there will only be actual consequence if there will be any undisclosed debts of the Target Company before the Reference Date, or any defect in Power City’s title over the equity interest of the Target Company. Since there is not expected to be any such undisclosed debts or defect, it is not expected that the New Option will become enforceable.

The terms of the New Framework Agreement are negotiated between the Group and the Purchaser, which is an independent third party purchaser, on an arm’s length basis. Having considered the above, the Directors believe that the terms of the transactions contemplated under the New Framework Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

FINANCIAL EFFECTS

After completion of the New Disposal, 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.

New Disposal

Assuming the New Disposal has been completed on 31 March 2019, the Group would have recorded a gain of approximately HK$79 million for the year ended 31 March 2019 which is calculated with reference to (i) consideration for the Company Disposal of approximately HK$424 million; (ii) adjustments to the consideration of approximately HK$130 million; (iii) net book value of the Target Company as at 31 March 2019 of approximately HK$168 million; (iv) adjustment on deferred tax liabilities of approximately HK$28 million; and (v) estimated tax effects in relation to the Company Disposal calculated at the applicable tax rates of approximately HK$19 million.

Based on the pro forma financial information of the Remaining Group as set out in Appendix IV to this circular, (i) assuming the New Disposal had been completed on 31 March 2019, total assets of the Group would have been increased by approximately HK$29 million from approximately HK$2,024 million as at 31 March 2019 to approximately HK$2,053 million, and total liabilities of the Group would have been decreased by approximately HK$50 million from approximately HK$555 million as at 31 March 2019 to approximately HK$505 million; and (ii) assuming the New Disposal had been completed on 1 April 2018, the Group’s total comprehensive income for the year ended 31 March 2019 would have been improved by approximately HK$92 million from approximately HK$289 million to approximately HK$381 million.

In the event that the New Option is exercised by the Purchaser

Based on the pro forma financial information of the Remaining Group as set out in Appendix IV to this circular (assuming there were no undisclosed debts of the Target Company), (i) total assets of the Group would have been increased by approximately HK$39 million from approximately HK$2,024 million as at 31 March 2019 to approximately HK$2,063 million, and total liabilities of the Group would have been decreased by approximately HK$41 million from approximately HK$555 million as at 31 March 2019 to approximately HK$514 million; and (ii) the Group’s total comprehensive income for the year ended 31 March 2019 would have been improved by approximately HK$101 million from approximately HK$289 million to approximately HK$390 million.

As the net book value of the Property as at 31 March 2019 as stated in the Accountants’ Report of the Target Company in Appendix II to this circular is the same as the valuation of the Property as at 31 May 2019 as stated in the valuation report from Beijing Colliers International Real Estate Valuation Co., Ltd. in Appendix V to this circular, no reconciliation between the net book value and the valuation of the Property is required to be made.

– 27 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

USE OF PROCEEDS

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the New Disposal for general working capital purposes (including but not limiting to financing the Group’s daily operations, and/or funding the Group’s future potential acquisition or investment opportunities identified from time to time). As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has no concrete plan for any potential acquisition or investments.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

New Disposal

As one of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in the Listing Rules) calculated under the Listing Rules in respect of the New Disposal is more than 75%, the New Disposal constitute a very substantial disposal of the Company and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Grant of the New Option

Under Rule 14.74(1) of the Listing Rules, the New Option constitutes an “option” within the meaning of Rule 14.72(1) of the Listing Rules and as the exercise of such options is not at the discretion of the Group, on the grant of the New Option, the transaction will be classified as if it had been fully exercised.

The grant of the New Option constitutes a very substantial acquisition of the Company and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

INFORMATION OF THE GROUP AND THE PURCHASER

The Group operates and invests in real estate development, real estate investment and distribution of building materials.

Power City is an investment holding company and holds the entire equity interest in the Target Company.

The principal business of the Purchaser is the provision of drug discovery and development services to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in the PRC.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiry, the Purchaser and its ultimate beneficial owner are third parties independent of the Company and its connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules).

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

In addition, as at 30 June 2019, the Company has issued guarantees to banks in respect of banking facilities granted to certain indirect subsidiaries and a joint venture of HK$393,506,000 and HK$20,000,000 respectively. Such banking facilities were utilised by its subsidiaries and the joint venture to the extent of HK$139,700,000 and HK$20,000,000 respectively. Save as aforesaid or as otherwise disclosed herein, and apart from intra-group liabilities and normal trade and other payables in the ordinary course of business of the Group, as at 30 June 2019, the Group did not have any debt securities issued and outstanding or agreed to be issued, bank overdrafts, loans or other similar indebtedness, liabilities under acceptances or acceptable credits, debentures, mortgages, charges, hire purchase or finance lease commitments, guarantees or other material contingent liabilities.

3. WORKING CAPITAL

The Directors are of the opinion that after due and careful enquiry, taking into account the financial resources available to the Group, including internally generated funds and the available banking facilities, and the effect of the New Disposal and the New Option, the Group will have sufficient working capital to meet its current known requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of this circular in the absence of unforeseeable circumstances.

4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

The Group’s asset, investment and fund management business will continue to seek to identify and cautiously invest in new high-potential and larger-scale projects by leveraging the Group’s expanding track record for generating solid returns from high-potential real estate investment projects and its existing resources in order for the Group to tap a broader base of additional development capital and generate recurring fee income throughout the life of various development projects.

In line with its strategy of securing high-potential investments, growing asset values and exiting within a three-to-five year horizon, the business is actively exploring promising residential, industrial and commercial properties and projects in Hong Kong and overseas that meets its investment mandate and complements the Group’s existing portfolio.

Despite investor sentiment in Hong Kong may be influenced by the ongoing U.S.A.-PRC trade tensions including the implementation of tit-for-tat trade tariffs between the two countries, recent commercial land tenders have attracted strong bids from developers, while earlier government policies aiming at revitalising industrial districts were also resumed during the year under review, the Group sees the long-term prospects of the Hong Kong property market. It remains cautiously optimistic about the strength of the commercial and industrial property markets in Hong Kong.

– I-2 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

The U.S.A.-PRC trade tensions might also have an unpredictable impact on the market. Nevertheless, the potential for further interest rate rises by the Federal Reserve has become more muted which should support the ongoing positive sentiment in the real estate sector. The Group is also cautiously optimistic about the outlook for its investment portfolio in the U.S.A..

The asset, investment and fund management business will also explore potential projects in the PRC’s Greater Bay Area (the “GBA”), especially if increasing connectively between the GBA and Hong Kong results in more investment and demand.

This proactive but cautious strategy will continue to support the Group’s future performance while creating further value for shareholders.

The Directors were not aware of any material adverse change in the financial or trading position of the Group since 31 March 2019 (being the date which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Group had been made up) up to the Latest Practicable Date.

Material Acquisitions and Disposals

On 19 July 2017, Q.R.B.G. S.r.L. (“QRBG”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of QHL, has entered into a business sale and purchase contract with Quarella S.p.A. (“Quarella Italy”), an independent third party, pursuant to which QRBG has acquired, and Quarella Italy has, among other things, sold, the relevant parts of the business and assets of Quarella Italy which related to the business of production of quartz and marble-based engineered stone composite surface products. The major assets acquired by QRBG under the business sale and purchase contract consist of land and buildings, plant and machineries, inventories and trademarks.

Save as disclosed above, the Remaining Group had no other material acquisition and disposal during the three years ended 31 March 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Segmental Information

The principal activities of the Remaining Group are property development / asset, investment and fund management, property investment and distribution of construction and interior decorative materials.

Property Development/Asset, Investment and Fund Management

The Remaining Group was highly active in moving forward its property development investments during the three years ended 31 March 2019, 2018 and 2017. Highlights included developing certain high-potential overseas properties to broaden its investment portfolio since 2017 and the successful delivery and monetisation of the Remaining Group’s first two industrial real estate projects – the Wing Hong Street Project and the Maple Street Project and first residential real estate project – The Paseo in Hong Kong. The Remaining Group also sold three of its completed residential projects in the U.S.A..

Following the closing of Rykadan Real Estate Fund LP and Rykadan Real Estate Prospect Fund LP in December 2017 and April 2018 respectively, the Remaining Group’s asset, investment and fund management business moved forward with planning and site development of the Wong Chuk Hang Project and the Jaffe Road Project, which will develop jointly with the Remaining Group in accordance with their respective mandates. The

– I-6 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Remaining Group continues to develop the internal structure and add personnel to the asset, investment and fund management business as part of its strategy to broaden its capital base and tap larger-scale projects.

During the years, the Remaining Group also continued to explore opportunities to expend to other property-related business fields, including management services through its wholly-owned subsidiaries under a progressive fee structure linked to cost saving performance or at a fixed percentage of the actual total construction costs.

Following its exit from a number of the projects outlined above, the Remaining Group will seek to identify new opportunities and assess its projects on hand with a view of materialising these investments at an appropriate time.

Property Investment

For the three years ended 31 March 2019, 2018 and 2017, 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 year ended 31 March 2018, the Remaining Group finalised a shareholders agreement with its joint venture partner governing the acquisition of business investment in Quarella Italy, a world leader in the production of quartz and marble-based stone composite surfaces products via a joint-venture. Quarella Italy was established over 50 years ago with manufacturing and research and development centres in Italy. Quarella Italy’s products are popularly used for benchtops, bathroom surfaces and floor tiles. 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.

The Remaining Group is continuing to look for other brands to expand its construction and interior decorative materials business of the subsidiary. As at 31 March 2019, 2018 and 2017, the subsidiary had contracts on hand worth HK$8 million, HK$43 million and HK$124 million to be completed, respectively.

Employees and Remuneration Policies

As at 31 March 2019, 2018 and 2017, the total numbers of employees of the Remaining Group were 27, 31 and 62. The Remaining Group offers an attractive remuneration policy, including reward to employees on a performance basis with reference to market rate, and subsidies for job-related continuing education. Total remuneration (including the directors’ remuneration) for the three years ended 31 March 2019, 2018 and 2017 of the Remaining Group was HK$48 million, HK$45 million and HK$51 million respectively.

Prospects

The Remaining Group remains cautiously optimistic about the prospect of the commercial and industrial property markets in Hong Kong after the resume of the earlier government policies to revitalise industrial districts during the year under review. Strong bids attracted by recent commercial land tenders also indicated that developers are positive about the long-term strength of the Hong Kong real estate market despite local investor sentiment may also be influenced by the ongoing U.S.A.-PRC trade tensions, including the implementation of tit-for-tat trade tariffs between the two countries.

The ongoing U.S.A.-PRC trade tensions could also have an unpredictable impact on the property market in the U.S.A. Nevertheless, it has become more muted for the Federal Reserve to raise further the interest rate and this supports the ongoing positive investor sentiment in the U.S.A. real estate sector which the Remaining Group keeps cautiously optimistic about.

While it is finalising its exit from certain existing property investments and projects, the Remaining Group will deploy capital contributions from the asset, investment and fund management business together with its existing resources to identify and cautiously invest in new high-potential and larger-scale projects. Its explorations include potential projects in the PRC’s Greater Bay Area (the “GBA”), especially if increasing connectively between the GBA and Hong Kong results in more investment and demand.

The Remaining Group’s strategy will continue to be proactive but cautious in order to support its future performance and create additional value for its shareholders.

Gearing Ratio

As at 31 March 2018 and 2017, the Remaining Group’s gearing ratios (net debts, as defined by total bank borrowings less unrestricted bank deposits and cash, to total assets) were 19.2% and 14.5% respectively.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

As at 31 March 2019, the Remaining Group’s gearing ratio (net debts, as defined by total bank borrowings less unrestricted bank deposits and cash, to total assets) was Nil, as the Remaining Group had net cash of HK$466 million.

Exposure to Fluctuations in Exchange Rates and Interest Rates and Corresponding Hedges

The Remaining Group operates in various regions with different foreign currencies including Euro, United States Dollars, British Pound and RMB.

Certain bank borrowings of the Remaining Group have been made at floating rates.

The Remaining Group has not implemented any foreign currencies and interest rates hedging policy. However, the management of the Remaining Group will monitor foreign currencies and interest rates for each business segment and consider appropriate hedging policies in future when necessary.

Contingent Liabilities

As at 31 March 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company had issued guarantees to banks in respect of banking facilities granted to certain indirect subsidiaries of HK$393,426,000, HK$885,959,000 and HK$919,392,000 and a joint venture of HK$20,000,000, HK$Nil and HK$Nil respectively. Such banking facilities were utilised by its subsidiaries to the extent of HK$120,674,000, HK$308,170,000 and HK$322,157,000 respectively as at 31 March 2019, 2018 and 2017 including the bank guarantee in favour of a utility service provider to secure the payment obligation of a subsidiary of the joint venture for an amount up to EUR250,000, EUR370,000 and EUR370,000 respectively and the joint venture to the extent of HK$20,000,000, HK$Nil and HK$Nil respectively.

The directors do not consider it probable that a claim will be made against the Company under any of the guarantees.

The Company has not recognised any deferred income in respect of these guarantees as their fair values cannot be reliably measured using observable market data and no transaction price was incurred.

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

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 2016, 2017 and 2018 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 Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”). Further details of the significant accounting policies adopted are set out in note 2.

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 2019. The revised and new accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective for the Relevant Periods are set out in note 19.

The Group has adopted HKFRS 9, Financial instruments , and HKFRS15, Revenue from contracts with customers , which are effective for the accounting period beginning 1 January 2018, consistently throughout the Relevant Periods.

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 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 2017, 2018 and 2019, 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.

– II-7 –

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

(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 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(m)(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 charges

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 benefits to be derived from

– II-8 –

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

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) Rental and other receivables

A receivable is recognised when the Target Company has an unconditional right to receive consideration. A right to receive consideration is unconditional if only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due.

Receivables are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method less allowance for credit losses (see note 2(g)).

(g) Credit losses

The Target Company recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses (“ECLs”) on the following

items:

  • financial assets measured at amortised cost (including cash at banks and other receivables, deposits and prepayments); and

  • rental receivable.

Measurement of ECLs

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all expected cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Target Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Target Company expects to receive).

The expected cash shortfalls are discounted using the following discount rates where the effect of discounting is material:

  • fixed-rate financial assets, other receivables, deposits and prepayments: effective interest rate determined at initial recognition or an approximation thereof;

  • variable-rate financial assets: current effective interest rate; and

  • rental receivable: discount rate used in the measurement of the rental receivable.

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Target Company is exposed to credit risk.

In measuring ECLs, the Target Company takes into account reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort. This includes information about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.

ECLs are measured on either of the following bases:

  • 12-month ECLs: these are losses that are expected to result from possible default events within the 12 months after the reporting date; and

  • lifetime ECLs: these are losses that are expected to result from all possible default events over the expected lives of the items to which the ECL model applies.

– II-9 –

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

Loss allowances for rental receivable are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. ECLs on rental receivable are estimated using a provision matrix based on the Target Company’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors and an assessment of both the current and forecast general economic conditions at the reporting date.

For all other financial instruments, the Target Company recognises a loss allowance equal to 12-month ECLs unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk of the financial instrument since initial recognition, in which case the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.

Significant increases in credit risk

In assessing whether the credit risk of a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Target Company compares the risk of default occurring on the financial instrument assessed at the reporting date with that assessed at the date of initial recognition. In making this reassessment, the Target Company considers that a default event occurs when (i) the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Target Company in full, without recourse by the Target Company to actions such as realising security (if any is held); or (ii) the financial asset is 90 days past due. The Target Company considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort.

In particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition:

  • failure to make payments of principal or interest on their contractually due dates;

  • an actual or expected significant deterioration in a financial instrument’s external or internal credit rating (if available);

  • an actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor; and

  • existing or forecast changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that have a significant adverse effect on the debtor’s ability to meet its obligation to the Target Company.

Depending on the nature of the financial instruments, the assessment of a significant increase in credit risk is performed on either an individual basis or a collective basis. When the assessment is performed on a collective basis, the financial instruments are grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics, such as past due status and credit risk ratings.

ECLs are remeasured at each reporting date to reflect changes in the financial instrument’s credit risk since initial recognition. Any change in the ECL amount is recognised as an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss. The Target Company recognises an impairment gain or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.

Basis of calculation of interest income

Interest income recognised in accordance with note 2(m)(iii) is calculated based on the gross carrying amount of the financial asset unless the financial asset is credit-impaired, in which case interest income is calculated based on the amortised cost (i.e. the gross carrying amount less loss allowance) of the financial asset.

At each reporting date, the Target Company assesses whether a financial asset is credit-impaired. A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.

– II-10 –

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable events:

  • significant financial difficulties of the debtor;

  • a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;

  • it becoming probable that the borrower will enter into bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or

  • significant changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that have an adverse effect on the debtor.

Write-off policy

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset and rental receivable is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Target Company determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off.

Subsequent recoveries of an asset that was previously written off are recognised as a reversal of impairment in profit or loss in the period in which the recovery occurs.

(h) 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. Cash and cash equivalents are assessed for ECLs in accordance with the policy set out in note 2(g).

(i) 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.

(j) 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.

(k) 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.

– II-11 –

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.

(l) Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognised 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.

(m) Revenue and other income

Income is classified by the Target Company as revenue when it arises from the provision of services or the use by others of the Target Company’s assets under leases in the ordinary course of the Target Company’s business.

Revenue is recognised when control over a service is transferred to the customer, or the lessee has the right to use the asset, at the amount of promised consideration to which the Target Company is expected to be entitled, excluding those amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue excludes value added tax or other sales taxes and is after deduction of any trade discounts.

Further details of the Target Company’s revenue and other income recognition policies are 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 value added tax.

(ii) Property management fee and utility income

Property management fee and utility income is recognised when relevant services are provided, net of value added tax.

(iii) Interest income

Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method using the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset. For financial assets measured at amortised cost that are not credit-impaired, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset. For credit-impaired financial assets, the effective interest rate is applied to the amortised cost (i.e. gross carrying amount net of loss allowance) of the asset (see note 2(g)).

– II-12 –

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

(n) 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.

(o) Related parties

  • (1) A person, or a close member of that person’s family, is related to the Target Company if that person:

  • (i) has control or joint control over the Target Company;

  • (ii) has significant influence over the Target Company; or

  • (iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the Target Company.

  • (2) An entity is related to the Target Company if any of the following conditions applies:

  • (i) The entity and the Target Company are members of the same group (which means that each parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others).

  • (ii) One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member).

  • (iii) Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party.

  • (iv) One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity.

  • (v) The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the Target Company or an entity related to the Target Company.

  • (vi) The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (1).

  • (vii) A person identified in (1)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).

  • (viii) The entity, or any member of a group of which it is a part, provides key management personnel services to the Target Company or to the Target Company’s parent.

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.

3 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.

– II-13 –

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

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 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.

(b) Revenue expected to be recognised in the future arising from contracts with customers in existence at the reporting date

The Target Company has applied the practical expedient in paragraph 121 of HKFRS 15 to all of its contracts such that no information regarding revenue expected to be recognised in the future arising from contracts with customers in existence at the reporting date is disclosed because the remaining performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.

  • (c) The Target Company leases out investment properties under operating leases. The leases typically run for an initial period of 1 to 5 years, with an option to renew the leases after that date at which time all terms are renegotiated. None of the leases includes contingent rentals.

The Target Company’s total minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases are receivable as follow:

All investment properties are held in the PRC under medium-term leases.

At 31 March 2017, the investment properties were pledged as securities for bank loan (note 13).

(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.

– II-16 –

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

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

At 31 March 2017, 2018 and 2019, 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 2017, 2018 and 2019, 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 2017, 2018 and 2019 by Colliers International (Hong Kong) Limited, Beijing Colliers International Real Estate Valuation Co., Ltd. (“Beijing Colliers”) and Beijing Colliers respectively, independent firms 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 valuers 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.

(ii) Information about Level 3 fair value measurements

Significant Range
Valuation technique unobservable inputs (weighted average)
Investment properties Discounted cash flow Expected market 2017: 2% – 3%
in the PRC method rental growth 2018: 2% – 3%
2019: 0% – 3%
Discount rate 2017: 9%
2018: 9%
2019: 9%
Stabilised occupancy rate 2017: 90%
2018: 90%
2019: 90%

The revaluation surplus arising on revaluation of investment properties is recognised as “increase in fair value of investment properties” in the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

(c) In July 2017, the Target Company and Power City entered into a property sale and purchase agreement (the “Original Property SPA”) and a framework agreement (the “Original Framework Agreement”) with Shanghai Medicilon Inc. (上海美迪西生物醫藥股份有限公司) (the “Purchaser”), an independent third party, with regard to (i) the disposal of block 4 of Kailong Nanhui Business Park (the “Business Park”) in the PRC and (ii) the entering into of the agreement in relation to the disposal of the entire equity interests in the Target Company (effectively disposing of the Business

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

Park entirely). Details of such proposed disposal was disclosed in the circular of the Company dated 22 September 2017. Nevertheless, as at 31 March 2018 and 2019, the Company and the Purchaser re-assessed and further negotiated on an alternative deal structure in order for the sale to go through due to the difficulties encountered in obtaining approval from the authorities for the disposal of the Business Park in stages.

Management considered that it was not probable to execute the Original Property SPA and the Original Framework Agreement. Therefore, the investment properties were not classified as held for sale as at 31 March 2018 and 2019.

(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.

– II-21 –

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

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.

16 Financial risk management and fair values of financial instruments

The Target Company’s major financial instruments include cash at banks, rental receivable, other receivables, deposits and prepayments, payables and accruals, amounts due to a related company/immediate holding company and bank loan. The risks associated with these financial instruments include credit risk, 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) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Target Company. The Target Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to rental receivable. The Target Company’s exposure to credit risk arising from cash at banks is limited because the counterparties are major financial institutions in the PRC, for which the Target Company considers to have low credit risk.

Other receivables, deposits and prepayments are reviewed regularly, for which the Target Company to have low credit risk.

The Target Company does not provide any guarantee which would expose the Target Company to credit risk.

Rental receivable

The Target Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer and therefore significant concentrations of credit risk primarily arise when the Target Company has significant exposure to individual customers. At 31 March 2019, the entire balance of rental receivable was due from the Purchaser.

Management manages this risk by reviewing the recoverable amount at the end of each reporting period.

The Target Company measures loss allowances for rental receivable at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. Given the Target Company has not experienced any significant credit losses in the past, the allowance for ECLs is insignificant.

(b) 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.

– II-22 –

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

The following table details the Target Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities which are based on the contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest payments computed using contractual rates or, if floating, based on rates current at the end of the reporting period) and the earliest date on which the Target Company can be required to pay. The maturity dates for financial liabilities are based on the agreed repayment dates.

(c) Interest rate risk

At 31 March 2017, the Target Company’s interest rate risk arises primarily from variable-rate bank loan. The interest rate and terms of repayment of the bank loan are set out in note 13. 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.

At 31 March 2018 and 2019, the Target Company does not have significant exposure to interest rate

risk.

Sensitivity analysis

For variable-rate bank loan, the analysis is prepared assuming the bank loan outstanding at 31 March 2017 was outstanding for the whole year. A 50 basis points increase or decrease in variable-rate bank loan represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates. If interest rate increases/decreases by the aforesaid basis point, and all other variables were held constant, the Target Company’s post-tax results for the year ended 31 March 2017, would be decreased/increased by approximately RMB161,000.

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.

(d) 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 2017, 2018 and 2019.

17 Material related party transaction

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

2017 2018 2019
RMB’000 RMB’000 RMB’000
Asset management expense paid/payable to Kailong REI
Project Investment Consulting (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. 337 337 337

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

18 Immediate and ultimate controlling party

At 31 March 2017, 2018 and 2019, 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.

19 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, new standards and interpretations 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
HKFRS 16, Leases 1 January 2019
HK(IFRIC) 23, Uncertainty over income tax treatments 1 January 2019
Annual improvements to HKFRSs 2015-2017 Cycle 1 January 2019
Amendments to HKAS 28, Long-term interest in associates and joint 1 January 2019
ventures

The Target Company is in the process of making an assessment of what the impact of these amendments, new standards and interpretations is expected to be in the period of initial application. So far it has concluded that the adoption of them is unlikely to have a significant impact on the Historical Financial Information.

20 Subsequent events

On 13 June 2019, a new framework agreement has been entered into among Power City, the Target Company and the Purchaser in relation to the sale of the Business Park held by the Target Company by way of the disposal by Power City of its 100% equity interest in the Target Company to the Purchaser (the “New Framework Agreement”). The New Framework Agreement replaced the Original Framework Agreement and the Original Property SPA, which were automatically terminated upon the New Framework Agreement became effective on 13 June 2019.

SUBSEQUENT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

No audited financial statements have been prepared by the Target Company in respect of any period subsequent to 31 March 2019.

(A) THE PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE REMAINING GROUP

1. Introduction

The following is a summary of illustrative unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position, unaudited pro forma consolidated income statement, unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income and unaudited pro forma consolidated cash flow statement (collectively referred to as the “Pro Forma Financial Information”), which have been prepared to illustrate the effects of:

  • (i) the sale of Kailong Nanhui Business Park held by Bestlinkage NHI Co., Ltd. (“Target Company”) by way of the disposal of 100% equity interest in the Target Company (“New Disposal”) (the “Very Substantial Disposal” or “VSD”);

  • (ii) possible very substantial acquisition (“Possible VSA”) in relation to the assumed exercise by the Purchaser of the New Option relating to the acquisition of 100% equity interest in the Target Company, which the New Option is only exercisable in the event (a) if the Purchaser discovers within 18 months after the date of completion (“Completion Date”) that there is any undisclosed debt of the Target Company before the Completion Date and Power City fails to settle the undisclosed debts of which the amount is over RMB200,000 after the expiry of 30 days from receiving the Purchaser’s demand; or (b) there is any defect in Power City’s title over the equity interest of the Target Company and Power City fails to rectify such defect (“Possible VSA – New Option”).

Narrative descriptions of the unaudited pro forma adjustments that are directly attributable to the VSD and Possible VSA – New Option are summarised in the accompanying notes to the unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.

The unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Group has been prepared by the directors of the Company in accordance with Paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules for illustrative purposes only, based on their judgements, estimations and assumptions, and because of its hypothetical nature, it may not give a true picture of the financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2019 or any future date or the financial results and cash flows of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2019 or any future period.

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 the deconsolidation of the assets and liabilities of the Target Company after the New Disposal as at 31 March 2019, as extracted from the statement of financial position of the Target Company as at 31 March 2019 as set out in Appendix II to this circular, as if the New Disposal had taken place on 31 March 2019. The exchange rate being used to convert RMB to HKD is RMB1 to HKD1.1658.

  2. The adjustments represent (i) the receipt of cash consideration arising from the New Disposal of HKD275,373,000; (ii) the receipt of repayment of amount due from the Target Company of HKD102,942,000; (iii) the adjustment on deferred tax liabilities following the New Disposal; and (iv) the estimated net gain on the New Disposal, as if it had taken place on 31 March 2019.

The pro forma consideration for the New Disposal (subject to adjustments) was calculated as follows:

Pro forma consideration for the investment properties
Adjustments on net balance of certain assets and liabilities

In addition, the net cash inflow of the proceeds from disposal of interest in the Target Company represents the estimated pro forma consideration of HKD308,482,000 and the receipt of repayment of amount due from the Target Company of HKD109,899,000, less (i) estimated withholding tax and stamp duty of HKD19,751,000; (ii) the cash balance held by the Target Company as at 1 April 2018 of RMB1,959,000 (equivalent to HKD2,438,000); and (iii) the deposits of RMB23,265,000 (equivalent to HKD28,954,000) received in 2017, being part of the payment of the balance of the New Disposal Consideration.

The exchange rate being used to convert RMB to HKD is RMB1 to HKD1.2446.

  1. According to the Group’s accounting policy, the results of foreign operations are translated into Hong Kong dollars at the exchange rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. 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 New Disposal had taken place on 1 April 2018.

  1. The adjustments represent the financial performance and cash flows of the Target Company for the year ended 31 March 2019 after the re-acquisition of the Target Company as if the New Disposal had taken place on 1 April 2018.

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 2019 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 2019 and related notes as set out in Part A of Appendix IV to the circular dated 23 August 2019 (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 sale of Kailong Nanhui Business Park held by Bestlinkage NHI Co., Ltd. (the “Target Company”) by way of the disposal of 100% equity interest in the Target Company and the possible very substantial acquisition in relation to the grant of the option to buy back the Target Company (together, the “Proposed Transactions”) on the Group’s financial position as at 31 March 2019 and the Group’s financial performance and cash flows for the year ended 31 March 2019 as if the Proposed Transactions had taken place at 31 March 2019 and 1 April 2018, respectively.

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 2019 or 1 April 2018 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.

VALUATION REPORT ON THE PROPERTY

APPENDIX V

BASIS OF VALUATION

Our valuation is provided on the basis of Market Value, which we define as “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.

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). Beijing Colliers International Real Estate Valuation Co., Ltd. (“Colliers International”) is regulated by the RICS and all necessary investigations, inspections, and other work carried out for the purpose of this valuation have been in accordance with its valuation standards. The RICS monitors regulated firms under its Conduct and Disciplinary regulations. Colliers International maintains a complaint handling procedure, a copy of which is available on request.

QUALIFICATIONS OF THE VALUER

This valuation has been prepared by Zhirong He (Flora He) (RICS Registration No.: 1259301), who is a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. Flora is head of China Valuation Services team at Colliers International. She is suitably qualified to carry out the valuation and has over 15 years’ experience in the valuation of properties of this magnitude and nature in China.

Neither the valuer nor Colliers International are aware of any pecuniary interest or conflict that could reasonably be regarded as being capable of affecting the ability to give an unbiased and objective, opinion of the value of the Property. She has accepted instructions to value the Property for the Client only.

VALUATION APPROACHES

The valuation derived from the Discounted Cash Flow Method has in turn been cross-checked with the Market Approach.

Income Approach is an approach to valuation that provides an indication of value by converting future cash flows to a single current capital value.

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.

– V-2 –

APPENDIX V

VALUATION REPORT ON THE PROPERTY

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 ‘arms-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.

SOURCES OF INFORMATION

Although we have made independent enquires as much as possible, we have relied to a very considerable extent on the information provided by the Client and the Owner, and have accepted such information given to us as being true and correct for valuation purposes. This has included such matters as particulars of occupancy, ownership title, lettings, site and floor areas, statutory notices, easements, tenure, joint venture agreements, the identification of the property interests and all other relevant matters. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation summary are based on information provided to us by the Client and the Owner, that we assume to be true and correct for valuation purposes.

We have also been advised by the Owner that no material factors or information have been omitted or withheld from the information supplied and consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view. We believe that the assumptions used in preparing our valuation are reasonable and have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Owner which is material to the valuation.

TITLE DOCUMENTS

We have been provided with copies or extracts of some title documents relating to the Property and have made relevant enquiries where possible. Due to the nature of the land registration system in the PRC, we have not examined the original documents to verify the existing titles to the property interests or any material encumbrances that might be attached to the property interests or any lease amendments. We have made assumptions that the full and proper ownership title of the Property has been obtained and all payable land premium or land-use rights fees have been fully settled.

VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the Owner can sell the Property on the open market without the benefit of deferred terms contracts, leasebacks, joint ventures, management agreements or any similar arrangements that would serve to affect the value of the Property.

No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing either on the Property or for any expense or taxation that may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the Property is free from restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature that could affect its value.
