Dear Sir or Madam,
MAJOR AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION
IN RELATION TO
THE PROPOSED DISPOSAL OF 100% OF
THE ISSUED SHARE CAPITAL OF
BEST VOLUME INVESTMENTS LIMITED
AND
NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION
On 5 December 2017 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange), the Sale and Purchase Agreement was entered into between the Vendor and the Purchaser, pursuant to which the Vendor has conditionally agreed to sell and the Purchaser has conditionally agreed to purchase the Sale Shares, representing 100% of the issued share capital of Best Volume, at a consideration of HK$405,000,000.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The purpose of this circular is to provide the Shareholders with, among other things, further details in respect of the Disposal, together with a notice convening the SGM and a form of proxy.
THE SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT
The principle terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are set out as follows:
Date: 5 December 2017
Parties:
(i) Vendor: Golden Stone Management Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
(ii) Purchaser: Mr. Xie Zhaobin
The Purchaser, Mr. Xie Zhaobin, is a director of Junxin, Yonghan, Yinmao and Yingrui. Therefore, the Purchaser is a connected person at the subsidiary level of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
Assets to be disposed of
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Vendor has conditionally agreed to sell and the Purchaser has conditionally agreed to purchase the Sale Shares, representing 100% of the issued share capital of Best Volume.
Best Volume is an investment holding company and, through Yingrui, owns, operates and manages the Property.
Consideration
The consideration for the sale and purchase of the Sale Shares shall be the sum of HK$405,000,000 to be paid by the Purchaser to the Vendor in cash in the following manner:
(a) HK$235,300,000 in cash as deposit (the “Deposit”) shall be paid upon signing the Sale and Purchase Agreement; and
(b) HK$169,700,000 shall be paid in cash on the date of Completion.
— 6 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Deposit shall be immediately refunded and repaid to the Purchaser without interest upon non Completion.
The consideration for the sale and purchase of the Sale Shares was determined after arm's length negotiations between the parties to the Sale and Purchase Agreement with reference to the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Disposal Group, the carrying amount of goodwill on acquisition of the Disposal Group and the fair value of the Property as at 30 June 2017.
In compiling the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Disposal Group, the Property has been revalued with reference to the valuation report issued by an independent professional valuer as at 30 June 2017. Therefore, the fair value of the Property as at 30 June 2017 has been reflected in the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Disposal Group as at 30 June 2017.
For the purpose of financial reporting, the Income Approach has been adopted in valuing the fair value of the Property in each reporting period. The Income Approach was also adopted in the valuation of the Property included in the Company's circular dated 20 October 2015 relating to the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of Best Volume. The Market Approach was not adopted in valuing the fair value of the Property as it is subject to the availability of transactions of properties with similar characteristics in the market. As the Property is a Ginza-type commercial property, similar properties are rare in Yuexiu District, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, the PRC and there was no transaction of property with similar characteristics as the Property available for comparison.
Other than Basement Level 1 of the Property, the tenancy of the Property entered into as at both 30 June 2017 and the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are the same.
As Basement Level 1 of the Property was vacant as at 30 June 2017, the then monthly market rental of RMB300 per square meter was used as rental income for Basement Level 1 by the independent professional valuer in valuing the fair value of the Property as at 30 June 2017. Given that the then monthly market rental of RMB300 per square meter was used for Basement Level 1 in valuing the fair value of the Property as at 30 June 2017 and the monthly rental of the tenancy of Basement Level 1 entered into by the Disposal Group on 16 September 2017 is RMB200 per square meter, the Directors consider that the rental income of the tenancy of the Property as at 30 June 2017 and the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are substantially the same.
— 7 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
In light of the above, the Directors consider that the fair value of the Property immediately prior to the signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement is not materially different from the one as at 30 June 2017. Although the Directors did not take into account the valuation of the Property as at 30 November 2017 in determining the consideration for the sale and purchase of the Sale Shares, the Directors consider that using the fair value of the Property as at 30 June 2017 as one of the reference in determining the consideration for the sale and purchase of the Sale Shares is fair and reasonable.
The consideration of HK$405,000,000 represents an excess of approximately HK$5,701,000 over the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Disposal Group of HK$399,299,000 (after adjusting for the goodwill on acquisition to HK$59,495,000) as at 30 June 2017.
Based on the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the consideration of HK$405,000,000 is fair and reasonable.
Conditions precedent
The Disposal is conditional upon the satisfaction or waiver (if made in accordance with the provisions of the Sale and Purchase Agreement) of the following, or their satisfaction subject only to Completion:
(a) the Company, being the holding company of the Vendor, having obtained the relevant approval from the Shareholders at a general meeting for the transactions as contemplated by the Sale and Purchase Agreement in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules, and the Vendor having obtained all necessary internal consents and approvals for the transactions as contemplated by the Sale and Purchase Agreement;
(b) all authorisations (if any) which are required for the entering into or the performance of obligations under the Sale and Purchase Agreement by the parties thereto having been obtained and all filings with any authorities and other relevant third parties which are required for the entering into and the implementation of the Sale and Purchase Agreement having been made and such authorisations (if any) remaining in full force and effect and there being no statement, notification or intimation of an intention to revoke or not to renew the same having been recorded;
(c) no order or judgment (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) of any authority having been issued or made prior to Completion, and no legal or regulatory requirements remain to be satisfied, which has the effect of making unlawful or otherwise prohibiting or restricting the transfer of the Sale Shares to the Purchaser, or any transaction contemplated by the Sale and Purchase Agreement;
— 8 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
(d) the Purchaser having conducted and completed a due diligence investigation on all business, assets and liabilities, legal and financial matters and all such other matters as deemed necessary by the Purchaser in his sole discretion, in relation to, inter alia, the Disposal Group and the Property, and the Purchaser being satisfied with the results of such due diligence investigation in his sole discretion;
(e) the Purchaser being satisfied that no material adverse change has arisen or occurred since the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and up to Completion;
(f) there having been no breach by the Vendor of its obligations pursuant to the pre-completion obligations given in the Sale and Purchase Agreement; and
(g) there having been no breach of the warranties contained in the Sale and Purchase Agreement (and no fact, event or circumstance having occurred which would make the warranties contained in the Sale and Purchase Agreement untrue or inaccurate in any respect at Completion).
The Purchaser may at his sole discretion waive the above conditions precedent (save for condition (a), which cannot be waived) at any time by written notice to the Vendor. As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the conditions above has been satisfied or waived.
If one or more of the above conditions precedent:
(a) remains unsatisfied as at the Long Stop Date and has not been waived on or before that date in accordance with the Sale and Purchase Agreement; or
(b) becomes impossible to satisfy before the Long Stop Date and, if it is a condition precedent which can be waived by the Purchaser, has not been waived within three (3) business days of such condition precedent becoming impossible to satisfy,
the Sale and Purchase Agreement (other than certain terms thereof in relation to, among others, announcements or disclosure, confidentiality, and costs and expenses) shall automatically terminate with immediate effect and each of the Vendor's and the Purchaser's rights and obligations other than those specified above shall cease immediately on termination. Such termination shall not affect the rights and obligations of any of the Vendor and the Purchaser existing before termination.
Completion
Completion shall take place three (3) business days after the last of the conditions precedent is satisfied or waived in accordance with the Sale and Purchase Agreement, or at such other time (but in no event shall be later than the Long Stop Date) as may be agreed in writing between the Vendor and the Purchaser.

The bank loan is secured by a mortgage on the Property in favour of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited and guaranteed by Yingrui. The bank loan is interest bearing at the benchmark interest rate of The People's Bank of China upward by 20.00% per annum and maturing on 28 August 2032.
INFORMATION ON THE PURCHASER
The Purchaser, Mr. Xie Zhaobin, is a director of Junxin, Yonghan, Yinmao and Yingrui. Therefore, the Purchaser is a connected person at the subsidiary level of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
INFORMATION ON THE GROUP AND THE VENDOR
The Company is an investment holding company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in sale of financial assets, property investment, money lending, and design and sale of jewelry products.
The Vendor is an investment holding company.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL AND USE OF PROCEEDS
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the major assets of the Group's property investment business consist of (i) the Property; (ii) the rights to develop and operate the Subject Land and the rights to manage the properties erected thereon; (iii) the rights to operate and manage the Club; and (iv) the Shun Tak Property.
The Subject Land is currently under development into a high-end hotel villa and apartment complex, the first phase of which comprising nine hotel villas has been completed and marketing activity for leasing the nine hotel villas has been launched. It is expected that the second phase development will be commenced in mid-2018. As disclosed in the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2017, taking into account the development costs already incurred, the remaining total budgeted development costs to be incurred by the Group for the Subject Land as at 30 June 2017 is RMB853,424,000 (equivalent to HK$983,315,000), while the cash and cash equivalents of the Group amounted to HK$216,622,000 as at 30 June 2017.
To finance the development of the Subject Land, the Company issued the Secured Notes in the aggregate principal amount of HK$300,000,000 in August 2017. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Secured Notes, after deducting the related expenses,
— 12 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
are HK$299,326,000 and are intended to use for financing the development of the Subject Land. The Secured Notes are interest bearing at 8.00% per annum and maturing on 25 August 2020.
In view of the budgeted development costs for the Subject Land and the cash position of the Group, the Directors consider that the Disposal will allow the Group to strengthen its financial resources for developing the Subject Land, which is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The proceeds from the Disposal will be used for the development of the Subject Land.
Also taking into account that the consideration for the sale and purchase of the Sale Shares is arrived at after arm's length negotiations with reference to the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Disposal Group, the carrying amount of goodwill on acquisition of the Disposal Group and the fair value of the Property as at 30 June 2017, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement (including the consideration) are on normal commercial terms, and fair and reasonable, and that the Disposal is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
FINANCIAL IMPACT OF THE DISPOSAL
Upon Completion, the Company will cease to own any equity interests in Best Volume. Each of Best Volume and its subsidiaries will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company and their financial results will no longer be consolidated into the financial results of the Company.
Assuming the Completion had taken place on 1 January 2016, the rental income of the Group would have decreased from HK$45,171,000 to HK$21,000,000 for the year ended 31 December 2016.
Assuming the Completion had taken place on 30 June 2017, the consolidated total assets of the Group as at 30 June 2017 would have decreased by HK$252,433,000 to HK$3,842,048,000 and the consolidated total liabilities of the Group as at 30 June 2017 would have decreased by HK$258,134,000 to HK$673,519,000.
Assuming the Completion had taken place on 30 June 2017, a loss from the Disposal of HK$17,251,000 (before tax and subject to adjustment and audit) would have been recorded by the Group. The loss from the Disposal is calculated based on the consideration of HK$405,000,000 minus (i) the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Disposal Group of HK$399,299,000 (after adjusting for the goodwill on acquisition to HK$59,495,000) as at 30 June 2017; (ii) the cumulative amount of the exchange differences of HK$21,956,000 as at 30 June 2017 relating to the consolidated net asset of the Disposal Group reclassified from equity to profit or loss on the disposal of the Disposal Group; and (iii) the estimated transaction costs of HK$996,000.
— 13 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Despite the expected loss of HK$17,251,000 from the Disposal, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the opinion that the Disposal is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole on the following grounds:
(a) Upon completion of the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of Best Volume in November 2015, the Disposal Group had a secured bank loan with an outstanding balance of HK$190,191,000. Although the Property has been generating rental income to the Group, the Disposal Group has recorded a net cash outflow (before change in working capital) since the date of acquisition as the payment of operating expenses, finance costs and bank loan repayment exceed the receipt of rental income. For the year ended 31 December 2016 and the six months ended 30 June 2017, the net cash outflows (before change in working capital) of the Disposal Group amounted to HK$14,058,000 and HK$5,805,000, respectively.
The Disposal provides an opportunity to the Company to realise its investment properties in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, the PRC into cash of HK$405,000,000. As the entire proceeds are intended to be used for financing the development of the Subject Land, the Directors consider that the Disposal enables the Group to (i) largely reduce its reliance on obtaining external financing for developing the Subject Land, which correspondingly reduces its future finance costs; and (ii) strengthen its cash position in order to lessen the impact of uncertainty on the United States Federal Reserve beginning to reduce its balance sheet to a more normal level in October 2017.
(b) Having examined the calculation of the loss from the Disposal, the loss is mainly attributable to the reclassification of the cumulative amount of the exchange differences of HK$21,956,000 relating to the Disposal Group, previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in exchange reserve, from equity to profit or loss on the disposal of the Disposal Group in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.
Such exchange differences are charged to other comprehensive income and summarises the exchange gains/losses resulting from the translation of the assets and liabilities of the Disposal Group from varying exchange rates over the years. The cumulative debit amount of the exchange differences of HK$21,956,000 is a direct result of a 5.41% decrease in the exchange rate for Renminbi to Hong Kong Dollar from 12 November 2015, being the acquisition date of the Disposal Group, to 30 June 2017. Such exchange differences help investors to differentiate between actual operating gains/losses and those generated via translation.
— 14 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Given that the financial effects of the cumulative amount of the exchange differences of HK$21,956,000 have already been reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Group and the Disposal Group, the Directors consider that the loss from the Disposal is mainly attributable to the reclassification of such cumulative amount of the exchange differences from equity to profit or loss on the disposal of the Disposal Group in complying with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. Excluding the reclassification of such cumulative amount of the exchange differences, the Group would have recorded a gain from the Disposal of HK$4,705,000.
It should be noted that the above financial impact of the Disposal is for illustrative purpose only. The actual financial impact of the Disposal depends on, among other things, the consolidated net asset value of the Disposal Group as at the Completion.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As two of the relevant applicable percentage ratios (calculated in accordance with the Listing Rules) in respect of the Disposal are more than 25% but all ratios are less than 75%, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction for the Company and is subject to the announcement, circular and shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
As the Purchaser is a director of several subsidiaries of the Disposal Group, the Purchaser is a connected person at the subsidiary level of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Therefore, the Disposal also constitutes a connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. The Board has approved the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. In addition, the Directors (including all the independent non-executive Directors) have confirmed that the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are fair and reasonable, the transactions contemplated thereunder are on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Disposal is exempt from independent financial advice and independent shareholders' approval requirements under Rule 14A.101 of the Listing Rules.
The SGM will be convened and held for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Disposal. The aforesaid approval shall be obtained by way of a poll. To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder has a material interest in the Disposal. Therefore, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting for the resolution to approve the Disposal at the SGM.
— 15 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Completion is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent under the Sale and Purchase Agreement, and therefore may or may not proceed.
Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.
THE SGM
The Directors have resolved to convene the SGM to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Disposal by the Shareholders. The notice of SGM is set out on pages SGM-1 to SGM-2 of this circular.
A proxy form for use by the Shareholders at the SGM is enclosed herewith. Whether or not you are able to attend the SGM, you are requested to complete and return the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and deposit the same at the Company's Hong Kong branch share registrar and transfer office, Tricor Standard Limited, at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the SGM or any adjournment thereof. The completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the SGM in person.
RECOMMENDATION

(a) the development costs of RMB33,689,000 (equivalent to HK$40,292,000) for the Subject Land which were contracted but not provided for; and
(b) the renovation costs of HK$4,779,000 for the Shun Tak Property which were contracted but not provided for.
Disclaimer
Save as aforesaid and apart from intra-group liabilities, at the close of business on 31 December 2017, being the latest practicable date for the purpose of this indebtedness statement prior to the printing of this circular, the Group did not have any debt securities issued and outstanding, or authorised or otherwise created but unissued, any term loans, any other borrowings or indebtedness in the nature of borrowings including bank overdrafts and liabilities under acceptance (other than normal trade bills) or acceptance credits or hire purchase commitments, which were either guaranteed, unguaranteed, secured or unsecured, any mortgages and charges, or any contingent liabilities or guarantees.
Save as aforesaid, the Directors confirmed that there had been no material change to the indebtedness and contingent liabilities of the Group since 31 December 2017 and up to the Latest Practicable Date.
WORKING CAPITAL
The Directors, after due and careful consideration, are of the opinion that, taking into consideration of the financial resources available to the Group, the Group will have sufficient working capital for at least twelve months from the Latest Practicable Date.
MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE
As disclosed in the profit warning announcement of the Company dated 18 August 2017 and the 2017 interim report of the Company published on 25 September 2017, the Group recorded a loss attributable to owners of the Company of HK$245,658,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2017, as compared with that of HK$156,086,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2016.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
BUSINESS OR INTEREST IN THE SHARE CAPITAL OF A COMPANY ACQUIRED OR TO BE ACQUIRED BY THE GROUP AFTER 31 DECEMBER 2016, BEING THE DATE TO WHICH THE LATEST PUBLISHED AUDITED CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS OF THE GROUP WERE MADE UP
No material business or interest in the share capital of a company has been acquired, agreed to be acquired or proposed to be acquired by the Group after 31 December 2016, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated accounts of the Group were made up.
FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP
The United States Federal Reserve began to reduce its balance sheet to a normal level in October 2017, which creates uncertainty on the global markets. Accordingly, the Directors will cautiously monitor Hong Kong equity market and adjust the Group's equity portfolio as and when appropriate in 2018.
Given that the unwind of the United States Federal Reserve's massive quantitative easing program marks a major policy change that could impact interest rates and markets broadly, the Group adopts a more cautious approach in selecting its customers in order to mitigate its credit risk as usual. The Directors expect the interest income on loans for 2018 may remain stable.
In the second half of 2017, the Group has refined the business strategy for its sale of jewelry products business and resources have been allocated for developing overseas retail chain stores market in order to achieve a stable settlement on its trade debts. As time is needed for developing this market, it is expected that the performance of the Group's sale of jewelry products business will gradually improve.
Upon Completion, the Group's rental income would decrease substantially as the Property generated 53.50% of rental income of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2016. The acquisition of the Shun Tak Property has been completed and certain units of the Shun Tak Property will be leased out for generating rental income. It is expected that the decrease in the Group's rental income will be partly compensated by the Shun Tak Property. In addition, the first phase development of the Subject Land has been completed and the marketing activity for leasing the nine hotel villas has begun. As at the Latest Practicable Date, no leasing agreement is concluded. If any of the nine hotel villas is leased out, the decrease in the Group's rental income in 2018 will be lowered.
For the coming year, the Directors will continue to cautiously monitor the business environment and strengthen the Group's business foundation by focusing the Group's existing businesses. In addition, the Directors will continue to cautiously identify suitable investment opportunities for the Group to diversify its businesses and broaden its revenue base.

Dear Sir/Madam,
INSTRUCTIONS, PURPOSE AND VALUATION DATE
We refer to your instructions for us to assess the Market Value of a commercial building located at No. 33 Nonglinxia Road, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, The People's Republic of China ("The PRC") (the "Property"). We confirm that we have carried out inspection, made relevant enquiries and searches and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the Market Value of the Property as at 30 November 2017 (the "Valuation Date").
BASIS OF VALUATION
Our valuation has been undertaken on the basis of the Market Value, which is defined by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors 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".
APPENDIX II
VALUATION REPORT OF THE PROPERTY
Market Value is understood as the value of an asset or liability estimated without regard to costs of sale or purchase (or transaction) and without offset for any associated taxes or potential taxes.
This estimate specifically excludes an estimated price inflated or deflated by special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any element of special value.
VALUATION METHODOLOGY
In arriving at our opinion of Market Value of the Property which is an income-producing asset, we have adopted the Income Approach, assuming sales of the property interests in its existing state and subject to the existing tenancies.
The Income Approach is a common valuation approach used in income producing properties such as office, shopping arcades and hotels. The technique used in this valuation by Income Approach is the Term and Reversion Analysis.
The Term and Reversion Approach is a common technique and is suitable for the valuation of the Market Value of the Property. It operates by taking into account the net rental income of the Property derived from the existing tenancy with due allowance for the reversionary income potential, which are then capitalised into the value at an appropriate capitalisation rate.
We have not adopted Market Approach because the adoption of Market Approach is subject to the availability of transactions of similar asset in the market subject to leases. As the Property is a Ginza-type commercial property, similar properties are rare in the market. As the information of similar transaction is limited, we adopted the Income Approach to arrive at our valuation opinion.
VALUATION STANDARDS
The valuation has been carried out in accordance with The HKIS Valuation Standards 2017 published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors, the RICS Valuation — Global Standards 2017, incorporating the IVSC International Valuation Standards published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, and the requirements set out in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

VALUATION REPORT OF THE PROPERTY
LAND TENURE AND TITLE INVESTIGATION
We have been provided with copies of documents in relation to the titles of the property interests. However, we have not scrutinised the original documents to verify ownership or to verify any amendments, which may not appear on the copies handed to us. We have relied to a considerable extent on the information provided by Eternity Investment Limited (the "Company").
We have relied on the advices given by the Company's PRC legal adviser, 國信信揚律師事務所 (Goldsun Law Firm), regarding the titles of the property interests in The PRC. We do not accept liability for any interpretation that we have placed on such information, which is more properly placed within the sphere of the legal adviser.
All legal documents disclosed in this letter and the valuation certificate are for reference only. No responsibility is assumed for any legal matters concerning the legal titles to the property interests set out in this letter and the valuation certificate.
SOURCES OF INFORMATION
We have relied to a considerable extent on the information provided by the Company and the legal adviser, in respect of the titles of the property interests in The PRC. We have also accepted advice given to us on matters such as statutory notices, easements, tenure, site areas, site plans and all other relevant matters. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation are based on information contained in the documents provided to us and are, therefore, only approximations.
We have also been advised by the Company 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 Company which is material to the valuation.
SITE MEASUREMENT
We have not carried out detailed on-site measurements to verify the correctness of the site/floor areas in respect of the Property but have assumed that the areas shown on the documents and official site/floor plans provided to us are correct. All documents have been used as reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximations. No on-site measurement has been taken.

APPENDIX II
VALUATION REPORT OF THE PROPERTY
SITE INSPECTION
We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the interior of the Property. No structural survey has been made, but in the course of our inspections, we did not note any serious defects. We are not, however, able to report whether the Property is free of rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No tests were carried out on any of the services.
We are unaware of any adverse ground conditions affecting the Property and have not had sight of a ground and soil survey. We have not carried out investigations on site to determine the suitability of the ground conditions and services etc. for any future developments. Our valuation has been prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary expenses or delays will be incurred during the development period. We have further assumed that there is no significant pollution or contamination in the locality which may affect any future developments.
VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS
Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the seller sells the property interests in the market without the benefit of a deferred term contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement, which could serve to affect the values of the Property.
No allowance has been made in our report for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on any of the Property valued nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the Property is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature, which could affect their values.
This report and its conclusion provide value reference solely for the Company for the proposed major and connected transaction as announced by the Company on 5 December 2017 and not for other purposes. The valuation report will be attached to the publications made by the Company to its shareholders.
We have conducted the valuations assuming that:
(i) all information of the Property provided by the Company is correct;
(ii) the clean and enforceable title of the Property has been obtained, where the title documents are available, and can be freely transferred, mortgaged, sublet or otherwise disposed of in the market without payment of any land premium or onerous fees;

APPENDIX II
VALUATION REPORT OF THE PROPERTY
(iii) As the property interests are held under long term land use rights, we have assumed that the owner has free and uninterrupted rights to use the Property for the whole of the unexpired term of the land use rights.

We hereby certify that we have neither present nor a prospective interest in the Property or the value reported.
Our valuation certificate is attached hereto.
