As at 31 October 2011, the Target Company was indebted to Peak Sino in the sum of approximately HK$15,024,091, being the entire shareholder’s loan owed by the Target Company. On 1 December 2011, the Capitalisation Shares were allotted and issued to Peak Sino whereas the entire shareholder’s loan was applied to set off against the total subscription price for the Capitalisation Shares, and the Target Company had been released from its obligations and liabilities in respect of the shareholder’s loan. The Capitalisation Shares represented approximately 41.12% of the then existing issued share capital of the Target Company.

To perfect the Company’s interests under the Share Charge, simultaneously upon the allotment and issue of the Capitalisation Shares, the New Share Charge had been executed by Peak Sino in favour of the Company over the entire Capitalisation Shares.

If Completion does not take place as a result of the sole default of the Purchaser, the Vendors may forthwith terminate the Agreement by giving notice, if any, of termination in writing to the Purchaser to such effect, in which event the Vendors shall forthwith (but in any event within seven (7) days of such termination) return the Further Deposit (without interest) to the Purchaser but shall be entitled to forfeit the Deposit absolutely and the Agreement shall cease and determine and neither party shall have any obligations and liabilities thereunder and neither party shall take any action to claim for damages or to enforce specific performance or any other rights and remedies.

If Completion does not take place as a result of the sole default of the Vendors, the Purchaser may forthwith terminate the Agreement by giving notice of termination in writing to the Vendors to such effect, in which event the Vendors shall forthwith refund to the Purchaser the Deposit and the Further Deposit (without interest), together with a sum equivalent to the amount of the Deposit, and the Agreement shall cease and determine and neither party shall have any obligations and liabilities thereunder and neither party shall take any action to claim for damages or to enforce specific performance or any other rights and remedies.

If Completion does not take place otherwise than due to the sole default of either the Purchaser or the Vendors, the Agreement shall cease and terminate and the Vendors shall refund to the Purchaser the Deposit and the Further Deposit (without interest) after deduction of reasonable expense paid or incurred

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Redemption:

Provided that the Company has given to the holder of the Promissory Note not less than two (2) Business Days’ prior notice in writing of its intention to redeem the Promissory Note, the Company may at any time after the date of the issue of the Promissory Note up to the date immediately prior to the Maturity Date, redeem the Promissory Note in its entirety or any part of it (in amounts of not less than HK$1 million). The principal amount of the Promissory Note outstanding on the Maturity Date, together with the interest accrued thereon, shall be repayable in one lump sum on the Maturity Date.

Transferability:

The Promissory Note may, with not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notification to the Company, be freely transferable and assignable by the holder of the Promissory Note by way of deed to any party other than a connected person of the Company and any subsequent holder of the Promissory Note will be treated as the absolute owner of the Promissory Note for all purposes.

Event of default: In addition to certain conventional events of default (including the winding up, cessation of business, appointment of receivers, involvement in material litigation as defendant, material adverse change in the financial position of the Company etc.), the events of default of the Promissory Note shall also include the issue of shares of the Company to parties other than to the parties to the Promissory Note without the holder of the Promissory Note consent (unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Company and the Promissory Note holder) save and except the issue of Shares pursuant to the Bonds, the Agreement, any options and convertible securities, and other obligation or general mandate exist at the date of the Promissory Note or any pro-rata issue of Shares to the Shareholders from time to time.

If any of the events of default specified above occurs, the Company shall on demand of the holder of the Promissory Note repay the outstanding principal amount of the Promissory Note in full in cash.

Bonds

Principal terms of the Bonds which will be issued at Completion are as follows:

Principal amount: HK$33,000,000

Maturity date: the date immediately following one year after the first issue of the Bonds (the ‘‘Bonds Maturity Date’’)

Interest rate: the Bonds shall carry no interest

Conversion: Any Bonds remaining outstanding at the Bonds Maturity Date shall be mandatorily converted into Conversion Shares at the then applicable Conversion Price (as defined below).

– 30 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Holders of the Bonds will have the right to convert the Bonds, in whole or in part (in the amount or integral multiple of HK$1 million) into the Conversion Shares, at any time from the day immediately following the issue of the Bonds, up to the day immediately prior to the Bonds Maturity Date, provided that any conversion of the Conversion Shares (a) shall not render such holder of the Bonds (together with its associates and the parties acting in concert with it) to trigger a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Codes; and (b) will not cause the Company becoming unable to meet the public float requirement under the Listing Rules.

Conversion price:

The Conversion Price per Conversion Share shall be the higher of (a) the par value of the Share from time to time, and (b) the average of the closing prices of one Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five (5) consecutive trading days up to and including the last trading day immediately before Completion (the ‘‘Conversion Price’’). As at the Latest Practicable Date, the par value of the Share is HK$0.025 (equivalent to HK$0.01 after the Capital Reorganization becoming effective).

The Conversion Price was arrived at after arm’s length negotiation between the Vendors and the Purchaser with reference to the market price of the Shares under the then prevailing market conditions. The initial minimum Conversion Price of HK$0.025, (equivalent to HK$0.01 after the Capital Reorganization becoming effective) being the par value of the Shares for the time being, represents:

  • (i) a premium of approximately 92.31% over the closing price of HK$0.013 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date;

  • (ii) a discount of approximately 24.24% to the closing price of HK$0.033 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day; and

  • (iii) a discount of approximately 26.47% to the average closing price of HK$0.034 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five (5) consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day.

– 31 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Conversion Price is subject to adjustments upon the occurrence of consolidation, subdivision or reclassification of Shares in the share capital of the Company, capitalisation of profits or reserves, capital distributions, rights issues of Shares, or any other events the Company determines that a downward adjustment should be made to the Conversion Price notwithstanding as such adjustment is required under the terms and conditions of the Bonds. In such event, the Company may appoint the auditors to consider whether the adjustments to be made (or the absence of adjustment) would or might not fairly and appropriately reflect the relative interests of the persons affected thereby, including but not limited to the holders of the Bonds.

Ranking:

The Conversion Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares in issue on the date of their allotment and issue and shall entitle the holders to participate in all dividends or other distributions on or after the date of their allotment and issue.

The Bonds shall at all times rank pari passu without any preference among themselves and at least equally with all the Company’s other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations.

Redemption:

Transferability:

Voting:

The Company shall be entitled at its sole discretion to redeem the outstanding principal amount of the Bonds (in integral multiples of HK$1,000,000 or such lesser amount representing the entire outstanding principal amount) at par at any time from the date of issue and up to and including the date falling seven days immediately before the Bonds Maturity Date.

The whole or any part (in integral multiples of HK$1,000,000) of the Bonds are transferrable provided that (i) the Bonds must not be transferred to any party if such transfer would render the transferee of such Bonds, together with its associates and the parties acting in concert with it hold or control (or be entitled to hold or control by exercising the conversion rights attaching to such Bonds) 10% or more of the entire issued share capital of the Company as at the date of such transfer; and (ii) the transferee is not a connected person of the Company unless with the consent of the Stock Exchange.

The holder(s) of the Bonds shall not be entitled to attend or vote at any general meetings of the Company by reason only of it being a holder of the Bonds.

INFORMATION ON THE TARGET GROUP

Target Company

The Target Company is a company incorporated in BVI with limited liability. As at the date of the Agreement, the sole asset of the Target Company was the entire issued share capital of the Target Subsidiary. As the Target Company has not carried out any significant operations since its establishment up to the Latest Practicable Date, it has not recorded any revenue and has only incurred immaterial administrative expenses.

Target Subsidiary

The Target Subsidiary is a company incorporated in PNG with limited liability and is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Target Company. By a project agreement dated 30 May 2011 made between the Target Subsidiary and Vabari Development, the Target Subsidiary has been granted the right to enjoy the Logging Concession, including but not limited to the right to operate sawmills, harvest trees and sell logs, within the forest in the Project Area for a term of 99 years. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Agricultural Lease has been granted and issued to the Landowners, and accordingly the Target Subsidiary, Vabari Land and Vabari Development have entered into the Master Agreements to sub-sublease the Project Area to the Target Subsidiary and to supplement and perfect the Target Subsidiary’s right and interest with respect to the Logging Concession. Other than the aforesaid, the Target Subsidiary has not carried out any operations since its establishment up to the Latest Practicable Date and thus has not recorded any revenue and has only incurred immaterial administrative expenses.

The Project Area

The Project Area is a piece of customary land owned by the Landowners in accordance with their practiced native custom in PNG. Under the Land Act No. 45 of 1996 of PNG (the ‘‘Land Act’’), customary landowners may lease their customary land to the PNG government by way of the lease-lease back arrangement, pursuant to the powers vested in the landowners by virtue of their recognized native custom, on the specific condition that the PNG government will sublease the customary land back to the person(s), and group, business group or other incorporated bodies that the landowners have nominated or appointed by way of issuing a special agricultural and business lease to such nominee. The nominee will then become the sub-lessee of the customary land and be entitled to either retain the registered interest that it secures and develops the land according to the terms of the special agricultural and business lease or further sub-sublease the land to another party for the development of the land for the remaining term of the sub-lease.

The Landowners are the members of the Vabari Clan in PNG and also the owners of the customary land named Vabari within the Project Area. The Landowners established Vabari Land, a legal entity under the Incorporated Land Groups Act of PNG. Vabari Land is the registered proprietor of the land named Vabari. It also represents the Landowners. It is the only legitimate party to enter into the Lease/ Lease Back Agreement with the PNG government.

– 41 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Vabari Development, a limited company incorporated under the respective company law of PNG, is managed by a group of directors. There is no legal linkage between Vabari Development and Vabari Land.

Besides the Lease/Lease Back Agreement and the Agricultural Lease which were executed among the Landowners via Vabari Land with the PNG government, the Landowners did not have any relationship with the PNG government. Similarly, the Landowners had no relationship with the Group before the Acquisition.

After the due execution of the Lease/Lease Back Agreement, the Agricultural Lease was granted to Vabari Land, under which Vabari Land became the registered proprietor of a 99-year lease of the land named Vabari within the Project Area under the Register of State Leases Volume 46 and Folio 151.

Vabari Land as the lessor entered into the sublease arrangement with the Target Subsidiary as the leasee on 16 December 2011 under which the land in the Project Area and the Logging Concession were subleased to the Target Subsidiary at a rental payment of Kina 12,000 per year (equivalent to approximately HK$40,200).

Vabari Development, together with Vabari Land, entered into the project agreement and the logging and marketing agreement with the Target Subsidiary on 16 December 2011. Under the project agreement, among others, Vabari Land was bound to execute a power of attorney in favour of the Target Subsidiary such that the Target Subsidiary can register the Agricultural Lease and the sublease arrangement with the relevant authority in PNG if Vabari Land refuses to comply with its obligation to register the same.

Under the logging and marketing agreement, Vabari Development and Vabari Land as the employers appointed the Target Subsidiary to be their exclusive contractor and manager to manage and undertake the logging operation and as their agent to undertake the marketing of all logs and sawn timber harvested within the forest in the Project Area. Vabari Development, instead of Vabari Land, is assigned to collect the revenue generated from marketing of the logs and timber under these two agreements.

As mentioned in the paragraph headed ‘‘Conditions precedent to Completion’’ above, it is a condition precedent to Completion that (a) the representatives of the Landowners and the PNG government shall have entered into the Lease/Lease Back Agreement and the Agricultural Lease shall have been duly granted to Vabari Land; and (b) the Target Subsidiary and the Vabari Companies shall have entered into the Master Agreements. The Vendors have further undertaken under the Agreement that they will at their costs and expenses procure Vabari Land to enter into the Master Agreements and to appoint the Target Subsidiary as its attorney within 60 days from the date of the Agreement to deal with the processes of obtaining the Agricultural Lease, registration of all required agreements and the application of the Clearance Authority and all other required approvals or permits as stated in the paragraph headed ‘‘Details of each of the approvals, registration or permits required for the Target Group to conduct forestry business in PNG’’ below for the enjoyment and due exercise of the Logging Concession. Accordingly, by the time of Completion, the Target Subsidiary should have already secured a proper title and interests in the Project Area and the Logging Concession.

Project Area
----- End of picture text -----

The Project Area can be split roughly into three areas due to the great changes of altitude: (i) mountainous/extremely steep land, which occurs for most of the northern part of the Project Area including part of the Owen Stanley mountain range; (ii) moderate to steep slope land, which comprises almost all the remaining area of the Project Area; and (iii) flat to gently rolling land, negligible area.

According to PNG Harvesting Code of Practice, harvesting is allowed in all kinds of forests on slopes up to 25° and selective cutting in all kinds of forests on slopes up to 30° on short slopes or 25° over the whole slope length. As advised by the management of the Target Subsidiary, approximately 77% of the Project Area is considered on slopes up to 25° while 23% is very steep at over 25° slope.

The standing trees in the Project Area mainly include hopea spp., pometia pinnata, syzigium spp., slonea and elmerrillia papuana. Hopea spp. is the dominant specie of the forest in the Project Area, comprising 13.70% of the total volume of the trees in the Project Area. The top three species, hopea spp., pometia pinnata and syzigium spp. together account for about 29.00% of the volume of the trees in the Project Area. According to the resource assessment report, entitled ‘‘Forest Resources Assessment Technical Report — Vabari Timber Area (Central Province, Papua New Guinea) ((巴布亞新畿內亞中 部省) 森林資源評估技術報告)’’, prepared by the independent resource assessor, Chinese Academy of Forestry Research Institute of Tropical Forestry (the ‘‘Independent Resource Assessor’’) (中國林業科 學研究院熱帶林業研究所), engaged by the Company, the net operable area accounts for approximately

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

38% of the total area of the Project Area, approximately 24,885 hectares. The average gross log volume per hectare is approximately 105.529 m[3] , and it is estimated that the total gross log volume contained within the Project Area is approximately 3.56 million m[3] of logs. Please refer to Appendix VI to this circular (the “Resource Assessment Report”) for details.

According to the Resource Assessment Report prepared by the Independent Resource Assessor engaged by the Company, the trees within the Project Area can be categorized into five categories with reference to the timber classification standards of the PRC, details of which are as follows:

  • (i) Premium-level trees (特類木). There are approximately 23,500 premium-level trees in the Project Area, mainly diospyros ferrea (象牙樹屬) and pterocarpus indicus (紫檀屬). The total volume of the premium-level trees are approximately 26,100 m[3] , accounting for approximately 0.99% of the total volume of the net operable trees in the Project Area;

  • (ii) First-level trees (一類木). The first-level trees constitute the largest portion of the forest in the Project Area, mainly hopea spp. (坡壘屬) and pometia pinnatas (番龍眼屬). There are approximately 598,600 first-level trees in the Project Area. The total volume of the first-level trees are approximately 989,100 m³, accounting for approximately 37.67% of the total volume of the net operable trees in the Project Area;

  • (iii) Second-level trees (二類木). There are approximately 170,500 second-level trees in the Project Area, mainly magnolia tsiampacca (木蘭屬), endospermum spp. (黃桐屬) and Koompassis grandiflora (科巴樹屬). The total volume of the second-level trees are approximately 347,300 m³, accounting for approximately 13.22% of the total volume of the net operable trees in the Project Area;

  • (iv) Third-level trees (三類木). There are approximately 264,500 third-level trees in the Project Area, mainly syzigium spp. (蒲桃屬) and dysoxylum spp. (慳木屬). The total volume of the third-level trees are approximately 381,900 m³, accounting for approximately 14.54% of the total volume of the net operable trees in the Project Area; and

  • (v) Fourth-level trees (四類木). There are approximately 671,100 fourth-level trees in the Project Area, mainly sloanea spp. (猴歡喜屬), lithocarpus (石櫟屬), castanopsis (錐屬) and myristica spp. (肉豆蔻屬). The total volume of the fourth-level trees are approximately 881,800 thousand m³, accounting for approximately 33.58% of the total volume of the net operable trees in the Project Area.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Logging:

Log sorting:

Log debarking:

Log sawing:

Sorting and grading:

Drying:

Felling, skidding, on-site processing, and loading of trees onto trucks.

On arrival at the mill’s storage yard, logs are sorted and stored according to species, diameter, length and end-use, etc. Sufficient quantities are stockpiled to ensure the sawmill’s continuous operation, particularly during adverse weather conditions when log extraction and supply from the forests may be adversely affected.

Debarking removes bark from all around the log. Debarking is to safeguard saws and other equipment from undue wear and damage that would otherwise result from stones, metal and other such contraries embedded in the bark; debarking also facilitates the head sawyer to evaluate the timber. Log washers may also be used to remove any remaining sand or dirt that may adhere to the logs’ surface.

Before the log is presented to the head rig for breakdown, it is cut to the longest permissible straight length with a cutoff saw, whereupon it is loaded onto the head saw carriage and positioned in such a manner as to allow the operator to achieve a sawing pattern, which will result in the optimum production of sawn timber with the minimum of waste. Following the head rig, further breakdown of slabs, flinches and cants takes place in the re-saw, which enables the wood to be upgraded. On leaving the head rig, re-saw or edger, the lumber is cut to standardized lengths, edges squared and defects removed by the use of one or more fixed or moveable trimming saws, whereupon the lumber proceeds to be sorted and graded.

The sawn timber is sorted according to thickness, width, length, quality, grade and species depending on the market requirements. Grading is a means to segregate the lumber according to the overall quality, direction of grain, presence of knots and defects, as well as general appearance, etc.

Sawn timber that is not sold green is either air- or kilndried, thus improving its marketability. By drying and lowering the moisture content to an acceptable level its value is enhanced by virtue of the fact that the timber is dimensionally stabilized and its strength and colour improved; also a reduction in weight lowers transport costs.

– 47 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Re-grading:

Before stacking the sawn timber for storage, it is normally inspected for any defects which may have resulted during the drying process, such as split-ends, loose knots, etc., which may be removed by trimming and therefore upgrading its value.

Transporting:

The processed timber are trucked to log ponds.

Replanting

To ensure the sustainability of the forest, the Target Subsidiary is required to re-plant new trees to replace the ones that were cut down. To optimise the yields on the planting trees, the Target Subsidiary will adopt the following practice:

  • (i) Choice of the site for planting trees, which usually is close to the lace of logging to ensure trees are properly spaced;

  • (ii) Planting at optimal times of the year with proper spacing to enhance the survival rate;

  • (iii) Taking measures of fire prevention and pests control; and

  • (iv) Monitoring the plantation sites daily by the forest workers and quarterly by the forest team.

Sawmill and other ancillary facilities

According to the Feasibility Study on the forest in the Project Area provided by the Target Company, based on a selective harvesting operation over 22 years, it is estimated that the sustainable sawlog volume is on the level of 60,000 m[3] per annum. Based on an anticipated recovery rate on 50% from round wood, the Target Subsidiary plans to construct and establish a sawmill with an annual production capacity of around 30,000 m[3] .

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The estimated capital expenditure for the construction and establishment of a sawmill of such a scale, including the elements which can be attributed to forestry operations such as the preparation of the site for log receiving and a dedicated loader to load sawn timber onto trucks, is around US$7.0 million. Set out below are the expected investment cost estimates for the sawmill:

Note: the costs of importing and transporting equipment and material to the Project Area make up the bulk of construction costs.

Other capital expenditure to be incurred for this project, including costs for forestry equipment and buildings, transport equipment and vehicles and road and bridges construction, is currently estimated to be around US$24 million. The Company currently intends to finance its share of such further investment in the Target Group by means of internal resources and any shortfall thereof by appropriate debt/equity financing.

It is currently estimated that the construction of the sawmill will take about 12 months to complete.

Management team of the Target Subsidiary

As the Acquisition will involve a diversification into a new business sector of the Group, the existing management team of the Target Subsidiary will be retained, who will manage the forestry business of the Target Group together with the management of the Company and the experts of Longjiang Forest Industry. The Company has no present intention to change the composition of the Board upon Completion. Under the Agreement, the Vendors will not be conferred any right to nominate any director to the Board.

Mr. Huang Chuan Fu (‘‘Mr. Huang’’), who is an executive Director and the deputy chairman of the Group and also director of eight subsidiaries of the Company, is experienced in plywood business and was the vice president of Nanping Wang Jia Wood Bamboo & Wood Industry Co., Limited from 2002 to 2005. He joined the Group since 13 April 2010. It is expected that Mr. Huang will be primarily responsible for overseeing the Group’s investment in the Target Group upon Completion. Mr. Chau Yau Keung (‘‘Mr. Chau’’) is a project manager of the Company, who has about five years’ experience in the forestry business in Asia. Prior to joining the Group, Mr. Chau was the representative of Classic International Limited (Philippines) which is engaged in the forestry business in the Philippines since

– 49 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2006 and was mainly responsible for the concession operation and transportation and logistics. In 2010, Mr. Chau was appointed as a director of a private company which is engaged in the forestry business of hardwood in Cambodia and was mainly responsible for sale and trading of the hardwood products to Vietnam and the PRC. Mr. Chau will be representing the Company as one of the management of the Target Subsidiary upon Completion. As contemplated under the Strategic Cooperation Agreement, the Company may set up a technical advisory board for the forestry business after Completion and Longjiang Forest Industry has agreed to nominate one to two personnel to join the board and to provide ongoing advice to the Board in relation to the operation and management of the forest in the Project Area. For the detailed biographical of the management team of Longjiang Forest Industry please refer to the section headed ‘‘Key members of the management team of Longjiang Forest Industry’’ in this letter.

The Target Subsidiary is currently managed by an experienced and dedicated management team, with strong industry knowledge and execution capabilities. The following sets out briefly the biographical details of the existing management team of the Target Subsidiary:

Ms. To Yuk Fung (‘‘Ms. To’’), is the sole director and one of the ultimate beneficial owners of Peak Sino. Ms. To is also the founder, sole shareholder and director of I-Sky Group (Holdings) Limited, which is principally engaged in property development, premises renovation, interior design, aesthetic medicine, jewellery and entertainment businesses in Hong Kong and also has investments in natural resources exploitation, hotels and property development projects in PNG. Ms. To is experienced in investments and project managements in natural resources exploitation, such as timbering and mining, and property development, etc. and has been investing in PNG over five years. Ms. To had participated in originations, investments and management of various projects, such as the mining and timbering projects in Maimai, PNG, the property development project in PNG and the forest in the Project Area in PNG. Ms. To is mainly responsible for originating the natural resources projects, conducting site visits, evaluating the value of the relevant projects and negotiating the key terms of the relevant investments. Ms. To is primarily responsible for the corporate strategic planning of the Target Group.

Mr. Kong Wai Fan (‘‘Mr. Kong’’) has been a director and project manager of the Target Subsidiary since its incorporation. Mr. Kong has about ten years of experience in forestry and timbering business management and has over four years of experience in logging and sawmill business since early 2008. Mr. Kong is primarily responsible for the administration of the daily operation and management, in particular the application for the permits, licences, approvals required for the enjoyment of the Logging Concession of the Target Subsidiary.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

With wood being one of the most essential materials in the world, the potential investment opportunity that the forestry industry proposes is immense e.g. demand ranges from building houses to the need of paper for publishing. With the PNG, the PRC and India’s high economic growth and growing housing and building industry, the demands for forestry products which are applied in the construction are commendable.

As shown in the Sustaining Tropical Forests Annual Report 2010 issued by the International Tropical Timber Organization (the ‘‘ITTO’’), price trends of major species of tropical wood were positive and stable in 2009 and 2010, and had increased moderately from the mid-2010. The PRC and India’s growing demand for timber and the disruption of supply from Malaysia due to unseasonal

– 50 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

climate conditions and the political uproar in West Africa may have brought about this phenomenon. Furthermore, Japan’s recovery from the disastrous tsunami and earthquake in early 2011 will most likely trigger an increase of reconstruction spending, therefore causing an increase in timber price in 2012.

PNG log market

The PNG log market is significantly small, comprising of small-scale sawmills equipped mainly for processing of large dimension logs. Therefore the PNG’s timber market relies mainly on the export of logs, which makes it the world’s second largest exporter of tropical hardwood logs after Malaysia. Since the mid-2008, the total export volume of sawn log in PNG steadily increases, which can be referred to in the following figure.

Tropical hardwood log prices in PNG

According to the statistics published by the PNG Forest Authority, the volume weighted average price has recently increased at a rate above 5% per year. The steady price increase possibly reflects a combination of declining supply and improved competition in the buyer’s markets. The price series includes all sawlog grades. As can be seen from the figure below, the official export log prices were averaging around US$125–130/m[3] .

Price outlook

Prices for hardwood products are expected to increase in the future as a result of declining hardwood supply, increasing cost of production and expanding demands. Key factors that will influence hardwood log products’ prices are shown in the following:

  • (i) Scarcity of tropical hardwood logs. Relative scarcity of tropical hardwood logs will push up prices in the short to medium term and may limit their consumption over the long term. Decreasing commercial inventory of tropical timber is beginning to constrain harvest significantly, particularly in Malaysia. Tropical hardwood share of all hardwoods will decline;

  • (ii) Illegal logging restrictions. Illegal logging restrictions are expected to be tighter and various countries in the Asia Pacific region are expected to direct more resources towards strict enforcement of these restrictions, which will lead to an increase in log prices;

  • (iii) Increasing cost of harvesting. Increase in the cost of harvesting and fees for complying with more stringent logging regulations are factors that will lead to an increase in log prices;

  • (iv) African log prices. African log prices have been increasing, partly due to freight and also to some supply constraints and this is expected to continue in the future. This will partly push up other tropical log prices as well;

  • (v) Demand for logs. Demand for industrial wood in Asia Pacific is projected to grow substantially over the next decade;

– 52 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (vi) Economic growth. Projected positive economic growth in Asia (excluding Japan), increasing urbanization, expanding furniture, construction and interior decoration industries are the major factors that are expected to support strong demand for wood products;

  • (vii) The PRC growth. The PRC’s positive economic growth, massive housing programs, housing reforms and increasing home ownership will continue to support growth in the country’s residential construction sector; and

  • (viii) India growth. India is currently experiencing a construction boom and is expected to continue the trend in the immediate future as India’s upcoming middle classes create demand for modern housing, shopping malls, sport facilities, schools and other public buildings.

The prices for tropical hardwood logs in general have been increasing over the last decade. Longrun historical data collected from the ITTO and price information available in PNG clearly show this trend. Historical price increases have been strong. This price appreciation should be quite strong in the near term driven mainly by the following two factors:

  • (i) Continued strong demand in the PRC and India; and

  • (ii) Stricter control on illegal logging.

These factors will combine to ensure that supply remains relatively tight. With the presence of the potential in upstream processing of the forestry industry, the Group considers it is promising and profitable to initiate the Group’s involvement in the upstream plywood business.

Environmental impact and climate change

As no monthly rainfall data for the Project Area was recorded, the closest is Port Moresby but the data recorded in Port Moresby may not accurately reflect the rainfall within the Project Area. Annual rainfall at Port Moresby shows it to be in the 1,600 – 1,800 mm/a range. It is likely to be in the 2,200 – 2,400 mm/a range within the Project Area. During the high rainfall periods, it may create flooding or extended inundation in the lowland areas. Recently, heavy rain had caused slips, road/bridge wash outs, and flooding of some lowland areas. Rainfall and the wet/dry season patterns will form a key aspect in the preparation of annual plans.

The Project Area has no record of major storms in the typhoon category but wind damage was noted in some areas during the aerial survey. While not serious this will be a factor for management to consider also. Extended drought periods do not appear to be a factor in this area but fire should still be considered a threat as there is a local culture for slash and burn activities as well as burning for hunting purposes.

Log pond

Initially the Target Subsidiary may export a limited volume of logs. There are two possibilities in terms of log export locations from the Project Area. The first is to transport wood through Port Moresby and this would involve travelling through heavily populated regions. The another log pond is therefore

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

the preferred export point which located to approximately 30 km to the west of the concession and the access road to this log pond travels to the west from the concession along the main highway and then taking a side road down to the river.

Proposed legislative amendments in PNG

There is no proposed legislative amendment in PNG that may have material impact on the new and existing forestry business in PNG.

EFFECT OF THE ACQUISITION ON THE EARNINGS AND ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF THE COMPANY

Immediately after Completion of the Acquisition, the Target Group will be treated as an indirect non wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and the financial results of the Target Group will be consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company, as the Purchaser would be able to secure the control over the board of directors, and 51% of the voting rights in the general meetings, of the Target Company pursuant to the terms of the Shareholders’ Agreement.

Effect on assets/liabilities

As disclosed in the 2011 interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2011 (the ‘‘2011 Interim Report’’), the unaudited consolidated total assets and total liabilities of the Group were approximately HK$542,773,000 and HK$129,295,000 respectively as at 30 June 2011. Upon Completion, according to the unaudited pro-forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as contained in Appendix IV to this circular, the Enlarged Group’s total assets and total liabilities would be (i) approximately HK$647,744,000 and HK$205,960,000 respectively, assuming the partial Consideration of HK$250,000,000 is to be satisfied by way of payment in cash; and (ii) approximately HK$836,592,000 and HK$394,808,000 respectively, assuming the partial Consideration of HK$250,000,000 is to be satisfied by the issue of the Promissory Note.

Effect on earnings

Since it is expected that the Target Subsidiary will only obtain the Clearance Authority from the relevant PNG government authority by late 2012, the Acquisition would not immediately contribute turnover and profit to the Enlarged Group upon Completion. However, in light of the future prospects of the Target Group, the Directors are of the view that the Acquisition will be likely to have a positive impact on the future earnings of the Enlarged Group.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFIT OF THE STRATEGIC ALLIANCE AND THE ACQUISITION

The Company is an investment holding company, and through its subsidiaries, is principally engaged in the business of money lending, provision of credits, securities investments, and provision of corporate secretarial and consultancy services.

Strategic move for the Group

Reference is made to the circular of the Company dated 25 November 2010 in relation to the disposal of plywood business (the ‘‘Disposal Circular’’). The disposed subsidiaries were principally engaged in manufacturing and trading of plywood and other wood products. Prior to the disposal in late 2010, the disposed plywood business had been incurring losses for more than two years and was in a net liability position. Even though the plywood market has recovered from its bottom, the operation of the disposed plywood business remained difficult and the disposed plywood business continued with net losses for the six months ended 30 June 2010 due to the limited supply of logs and increased in raw materials prices and other related costs. In the late 2010, as the cashflow of the disposed plywood business remained tight and it was subject to a significant indebtedness, this might adversely affect the going concern of the Group. The Board therefore considered that the disposal of the disposed plywood business might be in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Details of the background and reasons for the said disposal have been set out in the Disposal Circular dated 25 November 2010.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The disposal was prompted by reasons specific to the disposed plywood business and did not represent a complete withdrawal of the Group from the plywood-related industry or business. As disclosed in the Company’s 2010 annual report, the Group has been exploring ways to improve the financial performance of the Group, to diversify the Group’s operations into new and more profitable businesses and to broaden the source of revenue. As further disclosed in the Company’s 2011 interim report, the Group has been trying to continue with the plywood-related business by sourcing business opportunities in relation to the upstream plywood business (i.e. the forestry business). The Acquisition is in line with the corporate strategy of the Group and represents a strategic move for the Group to re-enter into the plywood-related business. The Company will however continue its existing business upon Completion of the Acquisition. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company did not have any arrangement, intention, negotiation or agreement to dispose of any of its existing business.

Optimistic prospect of the forestry industry

With wood being one of the most essential materials in the world, the Directors consider that the potential investment opportunity that the forestry industry proposes is immense. Demand ranges from building houses to the need of paper for publishing. With the PRC and India’s high economic growth and the growing housing and the building industry, the demands for forestry products in construction are commendable.

According to long-run historical data collected from the International Tropical Timber Organization (the ‘‘ITTO’’) and price information available in PNG, the prices for tropical hardwood logs in general have been increasing over the last decade. As shown in the Sustaining Tropical Forests Annual Report 2010 issued by the ITTO, price trends of major species of tropical wood were positive and stable in 2009 and 2010, and had increased moderately from the mid-2010. According to the statistics published by the PNG Forest Authority, the volume weighted average price has recently increased at a rate above 5% per year. The steady price increase could be due to a combination of declining supply and improved competition in the buyer’s markets.

It is expected that this price appreciation trend will continue in the near term in the light of the continuous strong demand in the PRC and India.

According to the Resource Assessment Report prepared by the Independent Resource Assessor engaged by the Company mentioned in the preceding paragraph headed ‘‘Information on the Target Group — The forest in the Project Area’’, approximately 65,800 hectares Project Area is expected to provide a broad scale of timber resources. With the presence of the potential in upstream processing of the forestry industry, the Directors consider it promising and profitable to initiate the Group’s involvement in the upstream plywood business. The Directors believe that the Acquisition will provide an opportunity for the Group to participate in the promising forest business in PNG and to diversify its existing business and broaden the income base of the Group, and ultimately help bring about a positive impact to the Group’s business and profit.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Risks associated with the Acquisition and mitigating factors

The Directors however are mindful of the potential risks adhered to the Acquisition, which, among others, include the following:

  • (i) The forestry business constitutes a new business sector to the Group. Such new business, which operates in a different regulatory environment, may pose significant challenges to the Group, including but not limited to the Group’s administrative, financial and operational resources. The Board is not in a position to estimate the possible return from such new business nor is it in a position to control the operation risks. To mitigate such risk, the Group plans to retain the current management team of the Target Subsidiary for its future management and has entered into the Strategic Cooperation Agreement with Longjiang Forest Industry to leverage on the expertise of the latter in the development, management and exploitation of the forest in the Project Area so as to ensure that the operations of the Target Subsidiary will run smoothly after Completion of the Acquisition.

  • (ii) As at the Latest Practicable Date, Vabari Land has been granted the Agricultural Lease from the relevant PNG government authorities, and the Masters Agreements have been entered into among the Target Subsidiary and the Vabari Companies. The Target Subsidiary may then, in its capacity as the sub-sublessee of the Project Area, apply for the grant of the Clearance Authority from the relevant PNG government authorities. The Agricultural Lease and the Clearance Authority are crucial prerequisites for the full implementation of the business plan of the Target Group in the Project Area. As advised by the PNG legal advisers engaged by the Company, it is currently expected that Vabari Land and the Target Subsidiary will be able to obtain the Clearance Authority in late 2012. However the successful application of the Clearance Authority is subject to uncertainties and contingencies beyond the control of the Target Group. Any delay in obtaining the said approvals could result in material delay and alteration of the business plan of the Target Group. Given that the Group will be interested in 30% issued share capital of the Target Company upon Completion, such delay and alteration of the business plan of the Target Group as a result of failure in obtaining the Clearance Authority could materially and adversely affect the Enlarged Group’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Again, to mitigate such risk, it was provided in the Agreement that Completion is subject to, among other things, (a) the representatives of the Landowners and the PNG government having entered into the Lease/Lease Back Agreement and the Agricultural Lease having been duly granted to Vabari Land; (b) the Target Subsidiary and the Vabari Companies having entered into the Master Agreements; and (c) the Group having obtained a legal opinion from a firm of PNG lawyers appointed by the Group confirming, among other things, the absence of legal impediment under the laws and regulation in PNG for the Target Subsidiary to obtain the Environmental Permit and the Clearance Authority. As a further assurance for the completion of all necessary formalities in obtaining all necessary permits and approvals for granting the Logging Concession to the Target Subsidiary, the Vendors have further undertaken under the Agreement to procure Vabari Land to enter into the Master Agreements and to appoint the Target Subsidiary as its attorney within 60 days from the date of the Agreement to deal with the processes of obtaining the Agricultural Lease, registration of all required agreements and the application of the Clearance Authority and all other required

– 60 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

permits as stated in the paragraph headed ‘‘Details of each of the approvals, registration or permits required for the Target Group to conduct forestry business in PNG’’ above for the due exercise and the enjoyment of the Logging Concession. Accordingly, by the time of Completion, the Target Subsidiary should have already secured a proper title and interests in the Project Area and the Logging Concession.

  • (iii) The Group only acquires a minority stake of 30% shareholding in the Target Company and may not have control over the matters and affairs of the Target Group.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Shareholders’ Agreement will be executed by the Purchaser and the Vendors upon Completion. It is intended that the terms of the Shareholders’ Agreement will govern the shareholdings and the affairs and management of the Target Company during the period after Completion and before the Option is exercised by the Purchaser pursuant to the Option Deed, unless the Option shall have lapsed pursuant to the terms thereof. By virtue of the terms of the Shareholders’ Agreement as mentioned in this circular:

  • (a) notwithstanding the Acquisition involves only a minority stake in the Target Company, the Purchaser will have the control over the board of directors of the Target Group and 51% of the total voting rights in the general meetings of the Target Company so that upon Completion, the Target Group will become de facto indirect subsidiaries of the Group and the Group will be able to closely monitor and control the affairs of the Target Group and its ongoing process in obtaining the approvals and permits required for the enjoyment and exploitation of the Logging Concession, including but without limitation the Clearance Authority; and

  • (b) the Vendors will be obliged to continue to finance the operation and maintenance of the Target Company and all costs and expenses required for obtaining the approvals and permits required for the enjoyment and exploitation of the Logging Concession, including but without limitation the Clearance Authority. It is expected that when the Clearance Authority is duly obtained by the Target Subsidiary (subject to other conditions set forth in the Option Deed are duly satisfied or waived by the Purchaser), the Purchaser will exercise the Option pursuant to the Option Deed so that the Group will by then own and control the entire issued share capital of the Target Company and the Target Subsidiary, and in turn the title, interests and rights under the Logging Concession. It is expected that before the exercise of the Option pursuant to the Option Deed, no further capital expenditure or investment in the Target Group will be required from the Group.

  • (iv) The investment risk in PNG increases as a result of the recent political turmoil and uncertainty stemmed from the competing claims to the position of prime minister by the existing and veteran prime ministers of PNG. There can be no assurance that the political situation in PNG will recover or become stable any time soon, or that the civil matters having connection with, or sanctioned by, the existing government will not be affected if such political dispute deteriorates or the government changes according to the court’s ruling.

– 61 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Since August 2011, there has been a dispute over the prime ministership between the existing and the veteran prime ministers of PNG. The veteran prime minister was ousted from power in August 2011 after his parliamentary seat was declared vacant while he received medical treatment. The existing prime minister was then elected leader by the PNG parliament, but in December 2011 the Supreme Court of PNG ruled that the veteran prime minister’s removal from office was unlawful, and directed that he be reinstated. The current prime minister however dismissed that decision, and then passed retrospective laws legitimising his transition to power. On 26 January 2012 a mutiny took place at Port Moresby, PNG, when a group of military personnel headed by a retired colonel loyal to the ousted prime minister, placed the existing head of the defence forces of PNG under house arrest. Although the mutiny failed in less a day, the competing claims to the position of prime minister of PNG between the existing and the veteran prime ministers continued. The Supreme Court of PNG will hear such matter and decide which party shall be the legitimate prime minister of PNG. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Supreme Court of PNG has not yet fixed a date for the hearing.

As advised by the PNG legal advisers of the Company, as the dispute is purely political in nature and will be handled judicially, any existing civil matters and commercial interests, including but not limited to the status of legally formed corporations, including Vabari Companies and Target Subsidiary and any signed commercial contracts, in PNG are unlikely to be affected. As a mitigation to this risk, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, it is a condition precedent to Completion that the Group is satisfied that there has not been any Material Adverse Change (of Effect) in respect of any member of the Target Group since the date of this Agreement. In this connection, the Company will continue to closely monitor the development of the political situation in PNG.

In light of the foregoing, the Directors consider that the aforesaid potential risks associated with the Acquisition are covered by the terms of the Agreement.

The Acquisition, together with the Shareholders’ Agreement to be entered into upon Completion, allows the Company to acquire a de facto control over the Target Group, and the grant of the Option under the Option Deed further provides the Group with flexibility to step up its interests in the Target Company during the option period depending on the Agricultural Lease and the Clearance Authority and all other permits, licences, approvals required for the enjoyment of the Logging Concession having been successfully obtained by the Target Subsidiary, the performance of the Target Group and the marketconditions of the forestry business worldwide from time to time.

The terms and conditions of the Agreement were arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Purchaser and the Vendors. Although the Board considers that the Group may be posed with certain inevitable risks due to the Acquisition and the Target Group has not yet generated any revenue and potential profitability of the Target Group, weighing the potential risks associated with the Acquisition against the favourable prospects of the forest industry in PNG, and that the Acquisition is in line with the business strategy of the Group to diversify its existing business, the Directors consider that the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and the terms of the Agreement are fair and reasonable.

– 62 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Group currently intends to finance the Acquisition partly by means of internal resources and partly by means of appropriate debt and/or equity financing, including but not limited to the issue of convertible notes, warrants, new Shares under specific mandate and rights issue/open offer. In the event that at Completion, the Group does not have sufficient internal resources and/or fails to raise sufficient funds for the settlement of the whole or part of the balance of the Consideration, the whole or any shortfall thereof will be settled by the issue of the Promissory Note to the Vendors. If any Promissory Note is issued at Completion by the Company in part payment of the Consideration, it is currently the Company’s intention to conduct further fund raising activities as and when suitable opportunities arise for the early repayment of such Promissory Note.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has not carried out any formal discussion with any financial institutions in relation to any concrete fund raising plan. Based on the current circumstances of the Group, it is intended that the proceeds from any fund raising will be applied for (i) financing the remaining portion of the Consideration, including but not limited to the repayment of the Promissory Note; and (ii) the general working capital of the Enlarged Group. Yet, as mentioned above, it has been the Group’s corporate strategy to continue to explore ways to improve the financial performance of the Group, to diversify the Group’s operations into new and more profitable businesses and to broaden the source of revenue. Hence, the Company does not rule out the possibility that on top of the need to raise sufficient cash for the settlement of the Consideration as mentioned in the preceding paragraph, the Company may also implement debt and/or equity fund raising plan(s) to satisfy the financing needs arising out of any business development of the Group as well as to improve the financial position of the Group in the event that suitable fund raising opportunities arise, as the Company has from time to time been approached by investors for potential investment projects. The Company will make further announcement in this regard in accordance with the Listing Rules as and when appropriate.

Strong support through the strategic alliance with Longjiang Forest Industry

To ensure that the operations of the Target Subsidiary will run smoothly after Completion of the Acquisition, the Company, through the liaison and assistance of the Agent, formed a strategic alliance with Longjiang Forest Industry pursuant to the Strategic Cooperation Agreement. According to the Strategic Cooperation Agreement, the Company will set up a technical advisory board for the forestry business and Longjiang Forest Industry will nominate one to two key personnel to join the said technical advisory board and to provide ongoing advice to the Board in relation to the operating and management of the forest in the Project Area. Longjiang Forest Industry will also provide skilled labours to participate the operations of the Target Subsidiary. The Board considers that, given Longjiang Forest Industry’s substantial and distinctive experience in the forestry business and its pool of outstanding experts and management team in operating, development and management of the forest in both the PRC and overseas, the formation of strategic alliance between the Company and Longjiang Forest Industry will not only boost the Group’s confidence and chance in the successful development and management of the forest in the Project Area, but will also allow them to complement with each other in their future cooperation and business developments. The Directors therefore consider that both the Strategic Alliance Agreement and the Agent Agreement (through which the Company was able to establish the strategic alliance with Longjiang Forest Industry) are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and the respective terms thereof are fair and reasonable.

APPENDIX I

commitments, guarantees or other material contingent liabilities. The Directors confirmed that there had been no material change in the indebtedness and contingent liabilities of the Enlarged Group since 31 January 2012.

4. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

Saved for the profit warning announced by the Company on 27 February 2012 regarding the loss made by the Group for the year ended 31 December 2011 as compared to the profit made by the Group for the corresponding period in 2010, as at Latest Practicable Date, the Directors were not aware of any material adverse change in the financial position or trading position of the Group since 31 December 2010, being the date to which the latest published audited financial statements of the Group was made up.

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group was principally engaged in the business of money lending, provision of credits, securities investments, and provision of corporate secretarial and consultancy services. Since 2010, the Group has conducted a series of business restructuring including (i) the acquisition of 51% share interest of Delta Wealth Finance Limited as announced by the Company on 24 September 2010 to commence the money lending and provision of credits business; (ii) the disposal of loss making plywood business as announced by the Company on 29 October 2010; (iii) the establishment of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, namely Joy Wealth Finance Limited, to further expand its money lending and provision of credits business by utilizing the business experience and network of Delta Wealth Finance Limited; (iv) the establishment of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, namely Pacific Vision Advisory Services Limited, to expand its business to provision of corporate secretarial and consultancy services as announced by the Company on 7 October 2011; (v) the disposal of 51% share interest of Delta Wealth Finance Limited as announced by the Company on 13 October 2011; and (vi) the Acquisition. The Board believes that it is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to re-allocate the management and the Group’s financial resources to more promising business.

Money lending and provision of credits business

As it is expected that (i) the policymakers of the PRC will continue to conduct relatively tough control on the monetary policies to adjust the economic overheat and inflation, which will raise the hurdle for individuals and companies to borrow money from banks; and (ii) the stock market and economic development of Hong Kong is still uncertain in the future, which raises funding needs of companies and individuals in Hong Kong, the Board expects that there would be a persistently increasing demand on the money lending and provision of credits business (e.g. personal loans and corporate loans from Hong Kong general public).

Securities investments

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group had invested in Simsen International Corporation Limited (stock code: 993) as a strategic investment, with the intention to utilize the platform provided by Simsen International Corporation Limited to further promote the finance business of Joy Wealth Finance Limited, the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Group has also invested in Huili

APPENDIX I

Resources (Group) Limited (stock code: 1303) in the view that the investment has valuable potential in its profitability. The Company will continue to identify any possible securities investments with a prudent approach in the coming future as a result of the recent downturn of the global stock markets.

Provision of corporate secretarial and consultancy services

The Company has set up a wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific Vision Advisory Services Limited, and will recruit a team of professionals in the areas of accounting, finance and company secretaries to provide the corporate services to its corporate clients which include listed companies in Hong Kong. The corporate services will be divided into two divisions. The first one is corporate consultancy business which focuses on provision of advice to corporations in areas such as corporate governance, internal control, enterprise risk management and other operational aspects with a view to enhance corporate efficiency, performance and enterprise value. The other one can generally be described as back office administration, which includes company secretarial service for private and listed companies, human resource management and administrative services, accounting and tax services including accounting system setup and support, bookkeeping, budgeting and forecast, payroll services, tax return preparation, and financial statements preparation. The Directors believe such business segment will grow gradually in the future in view of increasing number of companies getting listed in Hong Kong as well as merger and acquisition activities.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Information

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Profit Grand Enterprises Limited (the ‘‘Target Company’’) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (‘‘BVI’’) with limited liability on 5 January 2011.

The principal activity of the Target Company is investment holding. The principal activity of its subsidiary, I-Sky Natural Resources (PNG) Limited (the ‘‘Target Subsidiary’’) is in conduct of forestry related business.

The address of the registered office of the Target Company is 3/F., Omar Hodge Building, Wickhams Cay 1, Road Town, Tortola, the BVI.

No consolidated statement of cash flows has been presented as the Target Group has no cash transaction during the Relevant Period.

The functional currency of the Target Company is United States dollars (‘‘US$’’). The functional currency of the Target Subsidiary is Kina. The Financial Information is presented in Hong Kong dollars (‘‘HK$’’), which conform with the presentation currency of Pacific Plywood Holdings Limited (the ‘‘Company’’).

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

As at 31 October 2011, the Target Company and its subsidiary (hereinafter collectively known as the ‘‘Target Group’’) reported a net current liabilities of HK$488,899. The condition indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Target Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liability in the normal course of business. Nevertheless, the sole director of the Target Company is of the opinion that the Target Group will have sufficient working capital to meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due for the next twelve months from 31 October 2011 given that the corporate shareholders and the potential investor agreed to provide adequate funds for the Target Group to meet its liability in full as they fall due.

Accordingly, the sole director of the Target Company is of the opinion that it is appropriate to prepare the consolidated financial statements of the Target Group on a going concern basis. Should the Target Group be unable to continue to operate as a going concern, adjustments would have to be made to the consolidated financial statements to write down the value of assets to their recoverable amounts, to provide for further liabilities which might arise and to reclassify non-current assets as current assets. The effect of these adjustments has not been reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

APPENDIX II

3. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (‘‘HKFRSs’’)

In the Relevant Period, the Target Group has not early applied the following new or revised HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective:

Amendments to HKFRS 7 Disclosures — Transfers of Financial Assets[1] Disclosures — Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities[2] Mandatory Effective Date of HKFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures[3] HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments[3] HKFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements[2] HKFRS 11 Joint Arrangements[2] HKFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities[2] HKFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement[2] Amendments to HKAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income[5] Amendments to HKAS 12 Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets[4] HKAS 19 (as revised in 2011) Employee Benefits[2] HKAS 27 (as revised in 2011) Separate Financial Statements[2] HKAS 28 (as revised in 2011) Investment in Associates and Joint Ventures[2] Amendments to HKAS 32 Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities[6] HK(IFRIC)-Int 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine[2]

1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011

2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013

3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015

4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012

5 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012

6 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014

New and revised Standards on consolidation and disclosures

In June 2011, the standards on consolidation and disclosures were issued, including HKFRS 10 and HKFRS 12, HKAS 27 (as revised in 2011) was issued. The key requirements of these standards are described below.

HKFRS 10 replaces the parts of HKAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that deal with consolidated financial statements and HK (SIC)-Int 12 Consolidation — Special Purpose Entities. HKFRS 10 includes a new definition of control that contains three elements: (a) power over an investee, (b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and (c) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investors’ returns. Extensive guidance has been added in HKFRS 10 to deal with complex scenarios.

HKFRS 12 is a disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries. In general, the disclosure requirements in HKFRS 12 are more extensive than those in the current standards.

These standards are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. Earlier application is permitted provided that all these standards are applied early at the same time.

HKFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

HKFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements. The Standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The scope of HKFRS 13 is broad; it applies to both financial instrument items and nonfinancial instrument items for which other HKFRSs require or permit fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements, except in specified circumstances. In general, the disclosure requirements in HKFRS 13 are more extensive than those in the current standards. For example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the three-level fair value hierarchy currently required for financial instruments only under HKFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures will be extended by HKFRS 13 to cover all assets and liabilities within its scope.

HKFRS 13 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, with earlier application permitted.

– 79 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

The directors anticipate that HKFRS 13 will be adopted in the Target Group’s consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning 1 January 2013 and that the application of the new Standard may affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and result in more extensive disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to HKAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income

The amendments to HKAS 1 retain the option to present profit or loss and other comprehensive income in either a single statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. However, the amendments to HKAS 1 require additional disclosures to be made in the other comprehensive income section such that items of other comprehensive income are grouped into two categories: (a) items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (b) items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. Income tax on items of other comprehensive income is required to be allocated on the same basis.

The amendments to HKAS 1 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012. The presentation of items of other comprehensive income will be modified accordingly when the amendments are applied in the future accounting periods.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA. In addition, the Financial Information includes applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ‘‘Stock Exchange’’) and the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. These policies have been consistently applied to all the Relevant Periods presented and are materially consistent with the accounting policies adopted by the Company, unless otherwise stated.

The Financial Information has been prepared on the historical cost basis. The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the following accounting policies which confirm to HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA.

Basis of consolidation

The Financial Information incorporates the financial statements of the Target Company and entity controlled by the Target Company (its subsidiary). Control is achieved where the Target Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The result of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statement of a subsidiary to bring its accounting policies into lines with those used by other members of the Target Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Business combinations

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Target Company, liabilities incurred by the Target Company to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Target Company in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value, except that:

  • . deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with HKAS 12 Income Taxes and HKAS 19 Employee Benefits respectively;

– 80 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

  • . liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree or share-based payment arrangements of the Target Company entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree are measured in accordance with HKFRS 2 Share-based Payment at the acquisition date (see the accounting policy below); and

  • . assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with HKFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that standard.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquire (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after re-assessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held interest in the acquire (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

Where the consideration transferred by the Target Group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with the corresponding adjustments made against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the ‘‘measurement period’’ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.

The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with HKAS 39, or HKAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Target Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see above), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date.

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any, and is presented separately in the consolidated statements of financial position.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of cash generating units (or groups of cashgenerating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually or more frequently whenever there is indication that the unit may be impaired. For goodwill arising on an acquisition in a reporting period, the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment before the end of that reporting period. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss in the consolidated income statement. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the amount of profit or loss on disposal.

– 81 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

Impairment losses on tangible assets

At the end of the reporting period, the Target Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

Foreign currencies

In preparing the Financial Information of the Target Group, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded in the respective functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Target Group operates) at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which they arise, except for exchange differences arising on a monetary item that forms part of the Target Company’s net investment in a foreign operation, in which case, such exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity and will be reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal of the foreign operation. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the periods except for exchange differences arising on the retranslation of nonmonetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised directly in other comprehensive income, in which cases, the exchange differences are also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

For the purposes of presenting the Financial Information, the assets and liabilities of the Target Group’s foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Target Company (i.e. Hong Kong dollars) at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during the period, in which case, the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the heading of translation reserve.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments on identifiable assets acquired arising on an acquisition of a foreign operation on or after 1 January 2005 are treated as assets and liabilities of that foreign operation and retranslated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Exchange differences arising are recognised in equity under the heading of translation reserve.

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the Relevant Period. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Target Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Financial Information and the corresponding tax base used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary difference to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible

– 82 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the Target Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of the Relevant Period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the Relevant Period.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Target Group expects, at the end of the Relevant Period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Current and deferred tax is recognised in to profit or loss, except when it relates to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

Financial instruments

Financial liabilities are recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position when the Target Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial liabilities are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Target Group are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Target Group after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Target Group are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the Relevant Period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Interest expense is recognised on an effective interest basis.

– 83 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities including accrued charges and loan from a shareholder are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Target Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that the Target Group will be required to settle that obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the Relevant Period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect of the time value of money is material).

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

Related parties

A party is considered to be related to the Target Group if:

  • (i) the party, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, (i) controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Target Group; (ii) has an interest in the Target Group that gives its significant influence over the Target Group; or (iii) has joint control over the Target Group;

  • (ii) the party is an associate;

  • (iii) the part is a jointly-controlled entity;

  • (iv) the party is a member of the key management personnel of the Target Group;

  • (v) the party is a close member of the family of any individual referred to in (i) or (iv);

  • (vi) the party is an entity that is controlled, jointly controlled or significantly influenced by or for which significant voting power in such entity resides with, directly or indirectly, any individual referred to in (iv) or (v); or

  • (vii) the party is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of the Target Group, or of any entity that is a related party of the Target Group.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Target Group’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 4, the sole director of the Target Company are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. 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.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

– 84 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

Going concern basis

The assessments of the going concern assumptions involve making judgment by the sole director of the Target Company, at a particular point of time, about the future outcome of events or conditions which are inherently uncertain. The sole director of the Target Company considers that the Target Group has ability to continue as a going concern and the major events or conditions, which may give rise to business risks, that individually or collectively may cast significant doubt about the going concern assumptions are set out in Note 2.

Estimated impairment of goodwill

Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value-in-use of the cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated. The value-in-use calculation requires the Target Group to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise. Details of impairment testing on goodwill are set out in Note 11.

6. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Target Company manages its capital to ensure that the Target Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to owner through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Target Group overall strategy remains unchanged during the Relevant Period.

The capital structure of the Target Group consists of debt, which includes loan from a shareholder and equity attributable to owners of the Target Company, comprising issued share capital as disclosed in Note 14 and reserves as disclosed in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. The sole director of the Target Company reviews the capital structure on a regular basis. As part of this review, the sole director of the Target Company considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. The Target Group will balance its overall capital structure through the new share issues as well as the issue of new debt or the redemption of existing debt.

– 86 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

(b) Impairment testing on goodwill

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill has been allocated to the cash generating unit (‘‘CGU’’) of forestry related segment. The recoverable amount of this cash-generating unit is determined based on income approach and discounted cash flow method was adopted. In applying the discounted cash flow method, the free cash flows covering a 22 year period were determined. The results were then discounted using a discount rate of 14.15% to determine the present value of the free cash flows. The key assumptions for the income approach calculations are those regarding the growth rates and discount rates. Management believes that any reasonably possible change in any of these assumptions would not cause the aggregate carrying amount of the CGU to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount of the CGU.

During the Relevant Period, the sole director of the Target Company determines that there are no impairments on the goodwill.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

APPENDIX IV

Notes:

  1. The audited consolidated statement of financial position of the Target Group as at 31 October 2011 extracted from the accountants’ report as set out in Appendix II to the Circular, which are translated from Kina to HK$ at an exchange rate of HK$3.5483 which reference to ANZ Bank online exchange rate at 31 October 2011.

  2. On 2 December 2011, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Able Famous Limited and Peak Sino Limited (collectively known as the ‘‘Vendors’’) to acquire 30% of the entire issued share capital (‘‘Sale Shares’’) of Profit Grand with the total consideration of HK$310,000,000 (before fair value adjustment of the convertible bonds).

Notwithstanding the Acquisition involves only a minority stake in Profit Grand, by virtue of the terms of the shareholders’ agreement to be entered into between the Group and the Vendors upon completion of the sale and purchase of the Sale Shares in accordance with the conditional agreement dated 2 December 2011 (‘‘Completion’’), the Group will have the control over the majority composition of the board of directors of Profit Grand and 51% of the total voting rights in the general meetings of Profit Grand. Accordingly the Target Group will be treated as indirect subsidiaries of the Company and the financial performance of the Target Group will be consolidated into the financial accounts of the Company upon Completion.

Based on the above assumption, upon completion of the Acquisition, the Target Group will be accounted for in the consolidated financial statements of the Group using the acquisition method in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards 3 (Revised 2008) ‘‘Business Combinations’’ (‘‘HKFRS 3’’).

For the purpose of this Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group, the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Target Group are assumed to be equal to their carrying amounts as at 31 October 2011. As extracted from the Valuation Report on the Target Group as stated in Appendix V to the Circular, upon Completion, the fair value of the Target Group as at 31 October 2011 was US$141,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$1,093,483,000). The Completion shall be conditionally upon the satisfaction or waiver (as the case may be) of certain conditions including but not limited to all necessary consents, licences and approvals required to be obtained from the Vendors and the Target Group as stated in the conditional agreement dated 2 December 2011 (the ‘‘Agreement’’) and the transactions contemplated thereby having been obtained and remaining in full force and effect. According to Hong Kong Accounting Standard 38 — Intangible Assets, the definition of an intangible asset requires an intangible asset to be identifiable to distinguish it from goodwill. Goodwill recognised in a business combination is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognised. The future economic benefits may result from synergy between the identifiable assets acquired or from assets that, individually, do not qualify for recognition in the financial statements. As up to the date of this Circular, certain consents, licences and approvals is still under negotiation and has not been obtained by the Vendors or the Target Group, the inherent logging concession is not identifiable and distinguishable from the goodwill of the Target Group. Accordingly, the fair value attributable to the Target Group is allocated as goodwill instead of an intangible asset. Non-controlling interests are measured at noncontrolling interest’s proportionate share of identifiable net assets of the Target Group.

On completion of the Acquisition, the Company shall recognise, separately from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired (including the logging concession as an intangible asset), the liabilities assumed and non-controlling interests and measure them at their acquisition-date fair values. The fair

APPENDIX IV

values of these assets and liabilities may be different from the amounts set out in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group and consequently affect the actual amounts of noncontrolling interests and goodwill.

The total consideration for the Acquisition after fair value adjustment of convertible bonds is HK$305,306,000, which shall be satisfied by the Group at completion in the following manner:

  • (i) as to HK$27,000,000 by payment in cash;

  • (ii) as to HK$28,306,000 by procuring the issue of the zero coupon convertible bonds (the ‘‘Convertible Bond’’) in the aggregate principal amount of HK$33,000,000 by the Company to the Vendors on completion. The Convertible Bond is due on the first anniversary of the date of issue of the Convertible Bond. According to the valuation report issued by an independent qualified professional valuer not connected with the Group, BMI Appraisals Limited, the Convertible Bond are equity instrument containing equity element only and are presented in equity, and the fair value of equity element of the HK$33,000,000 zero coupon convertible bonds is approximately HK$28,306,000 at 30 June 2011 (the deemed completion date). The Binomial Option Pricing Model was adopted as the valuation methodology in the valuation of the Convertible Bond. The assumptions adopted for the valuation of the Convertible Bond are as follow:

  • (1) There will be no material change in the political, legal, fiscal, technological, market and economic conditions that will materially affect the operation of the Company and the share price of the underlying security of the Convertible Bond; and

  • (2) The interest rates and exchange rates will not differ materially from those present or expected; and

  • (iii) as to HK$250,000,000, at the option of the Group, either by way of payment in cash of HK$250,000,000 or by procuring the Company to issue HK$250,000,000 10% promissory note which due on the day following the expiry of the fifteen months after the completion date (the ‘‘Promissory Note’’) to the Vendors, or a combination of both on completion.

  • In this scenario, it is assuming that the HK$250,000,000 will be fully satisfied by the Promissory Note.

On the basis of the above assumptions, an unaudited pro forma adjustment of HK$305,306,000 representing goodwill arising from the Acquisition has been made. The management has assessed whether there is any impairment on the goodwill as at 30 June 2011 in according with HKAS 36 ‘‘Impairment of Assets’’, based on the management’s assessment on the business plan to be executed and the recoverable amount of the business to be acquired, the management considers that there is no impairment on the goodwill arising from the Acquisition as at 30 June 2011 as if the Acquisition was completed on the same date.

The recoverable amount of the Target Group, which includes the goodwill, is determined from a value in use calculation. The key assumptions for the value in use calculation are those regarding the future cash flows and the discount rate. With reference to the valuation report set out in Appendix V of this circular, the Company estimates the discount rate of 14.15% being the rate that reflects current

– 98 –

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

APPENDIX IV

market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the Target Group, and the recoverable amount of the Target Group is thus higher than the carrying amount of the unit including goodwill.

The cash flow projections and the assumptions on which they are based relate to future events and actual cash flows may be different since anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected and the variation may be material. For this reason, if the actual cash flows do not correspond with cash flows projection, recognition of impairment may be required in subsequent period.

The non-controlling interests represent 70% equity interests in Profit Grand.

For the purpose of determining goodwill arising from the acquisition transactions in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, it is assumed that the carrying values of Profit Grand are recorded in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information at their fair values as if the Acquisition was completed on 30 June 2011.

The directors have reviewed the pro forma fair values of the goodwill of the Enlarged Group in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 36 ‘‘Impairment of Assets’’ (‘‘HKAS 36’’). The directors estimate that the recoverable amount of the Target Group (being considered as a single cashgenerating unit to which the goodwill has been allocated) is higher than the carrying amount of the unit including goodwill and hence, are of their opinion that there is no indication that the pro forma fair values of the goodwill of the Enlarged Group may be impaired at the date of preparation of this Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.

The management confirmed that they will apply consistent accounting policies and principal assumptions to assess impairment of goodwill in subsequent reporting period accordance with HKAS 36.

Notes:

  1. The consolidated statement of financial position of the Target Group as at 31 October 2011 extracted from the accountants’ report as set out in Appendix II to the Circular, which are translated from Kina to HK$ at an exchange rate of HK$3.5483 which reference to ANZ Bank online exchange rate at 31 October 2011.

  2. On 2 December 2011, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Able Famous Limited and Peak Sino Limited (collectively known as the ‘‘Vendors’’) to acquire 30% of the entire issued share capital of Profit Grand with the total consideration of HK$310,000,000 (before fair value adjustment of the convertible bonds).

Notwithstanding the Acquisition involves only a minority stake in Profit Grand, by virtue of the terms of the shareholders’ agreement to be entered into between the Group and the Vendors upon completion of the sale and purchase of the Sale Shares in accordance with the conditional agreement dated 2 December 2011 (‘‘Completion’’), the Group will have the control over the majority composition of the board of directors of Profit Grand and 51% of the total voting rights in the general meetings of Profit Grand. Accordingly the Target Group will be treated as indirect subsidiaries of the Company and the financial performance of the Target Group will be consolidated into the financial accounts of the Company upon Completion.

Based on the above assumption, upon completion of the Acquisition, the Target Group will be accounted for in the consolidated financial statements of the Group using the acquisition method in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards 3 (Revised 2008) ‘‘Business Combinations’’ (‘‘HKFRS 3’’).

For the purpose of this Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group, the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Target Group are assumed to be equal to their carrying amounts as at 31 October 2011. As extracted from the Valuation Report on the Target Group as stated in Appendix V to the Circular, upon Completion, the fair value of the Target Group as at 31 October 2011 was US$141,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$1,093,483,000). The Completion shall be conditionally upon the satisfaction or waiver (as the case may be) of certain conditions including but not limited to all necessary consents, licences and approvals required to be obtained from the Vendors and the Target Group as stated in the conditional agreement dated 2 December 2011 (the ‘‘Agreement’’) and the transactions contemplated thereby having been obtained and remaining in full force and effect. According to Hong Kong Accounting Standard 38 — Intangible Assets, the definition of an intangible

– 101 –

asset requires an intangible asset to be identifiable to distinguish it from goodwill. Goodwill recognised in a business combination is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognised. The future economic benefits may result from synergy between the identifiable assets acquired or from assets that, individually, do not qualify for recognition in the financial statements. As up to the date of this Circular, certain consents, licences and approvals is still under negotiation and has not been obtained by the Vendors or the Target Group, the inherent logging concession is not identifiable and distinguishable from the goodwill of the Target Group. Accordingly, the fair value attributable to the Target Group is allocated as goodwill instead of an intangible asset. Non-controlling interests are measured at noncontrolling interest’s proportionate share of identifiable net assets of the Target Group.

On completion of the Acquisition, the Company shall recognise, separately from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired (including the logging concession as an intangible asset), the liabilities assumed and non-controlling interests and measure them at their acquisition-date fair values. The fair values of these assets and liabilities may be different from the amounts set out in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group and consequently affect the actual amounts of noncontrolling interests and goodwill.

The total consideration for the Acquisition after fair value adjustment of convertible bonds is HK$305,306,000, which shall be satisfied by the Group at completion in the following manner:

  • (i) as to HK$27,000,000 by payment in cash;

  • (ii) as to HK$28,306,000 by procuring the issue of the zero coupon convertible bonds (the ‘‘Convertible Bond’’) in the aggregate principal amount of HK$33,000,000 by the Company to the Vendors on completion. The Convertible Bond is due on the first anniversary of the date of issue of the Convertible Bond. According to the valuation report issued by an independent qualified professional valuer not connected with the Group, BMI Appraisals Limited, the Convertible Bond are equity instrument containing equity element only and are presented in equity, and the fair value of equity element of the HK$33,000,000 zero coupon convertible bonds is approximately HK$28,306,000 at 30 June 2011 (the deemed completion date). The Binomial Option Pricing Model was adopted as the valuation methodology in the valuation of the Convertible Bond. The assumptions adopted for the valuation of the Convertible Bond are as follow:

  • (1) There will be no material change in the political, legal, fiscal, technological, market and economic conditions that will materially affect the operation of the Company and the share price of the underlying security of the Convertible Bond; and

  • (2) The interest rates and exchange rates will not differ materially from those present or expected; and

  • (iii) as to HK$250,000,000, at the option of the Group, either by way of payment in cash of HK$250,000,000 or by procuring the Company to issue HK$250,000,000 10% promissory note which due on the day following the expiry of the fifteen months after the completion date (the ‘‘Promissory Note’’) to the Vendors, or a combination of both on completion.

APPENDIX IV

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

In this scenario, it is assuming that the HK$250,000,000 will be fully satisfied by cash.

However, the Group did not have sufficient bank balances and cash at 30 June 2011 to settle the HK$250,000,000 in full. The directors of the Company are at their opinion that the Company could obtain necessary resources through debt and/or equity financing for the settlement.

On the basis of the above assumptions, an unaudited pro forma adjustment of HK$305,306,000 representing goodwill arising from the Acquisition has been made. The management has assessed whether there is any impairment on the goodwill as at 30 June 2011 in according with HKAS 36 ‘‘Impairment of Assets’’, based on the management’s assessment on the business plan to be executed and the recoverable amount of the business to be acquired, the management considers that there is no impairment on the goodwill arising from the Acquisition as at 30 June 2011 as if the Acquisition was completed on the same date.

The recoverable amount of the Target Group, which includes the goodwill, is determined from a value in use calculation. The key assumptions for the value in use calculation are those regarding the future cash flows and the discount rate. With reference to the valuation report set out in Appendix V of this circular, the Company estimates the discount rate of 14.15% being the rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the Target Group, and the recoverable amount of the Target Group is thus higher than the carrying amount of the unit including goodwill.

The cash flow projections and the assumption on which they are based relate to future events and actual cash flows may be different since anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected and the variation may be material. For this reason, if the actual cash flows do not correspond with cash flows projection, recognition of impairment may be required in subsequent period.

For the purpose of determining goodwill arising from the acquisition transactions in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, it is assumed that the carrying values of Profit Grand are recorded in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information at their fair values as if the Acquisition was completed on 30 June 2011.

The directors have reviewed the pro forma fair values of the goodwill of the Enlarged Group in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 36 ‘‘Impairment of Assets’’ (‘‘HKAS 36’’). The directors estimate that the recoverable amount of the Target Group (being considered as a single cashgenerating unit to which the goodwill has been allocated) is higher than the carrying amount of the unit including goodwill and hence, are of their opinion that there is no indication that the pro forma fair values of the goodwill of the Enlarged Group may be impaired at the date of preparation of this Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The Overall Economy of PNG

PNG is located in Oceania at the north of Australia. It had a population of 6.9 million in year 2010. Due to the investments in energy-related projects, PNG has witnessed a decade of steady economic growth. Real gross domestic product (GDP) rose by 5.5% and 7.0% in year 2009 and year 2010 respectively. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of the country’s GDP during the period between year 2000 and year 2010 was 10.4%. The country depends heavily on the exports of minerals and farm products. Major exports of the country include palm oil, coffee, cocoa, copra, copra oil, vanilla, tea and rubber. The exports accounted for 19.9% of its GDP in year 2010. The CAGR of export during the period between year 2000 and year 2010 was 9.7%. The major export destinations are European countries and Australasian countries.

Despite the frequent flooding in the northern highlands, the agricultural sector of the country has undergone moderate growth. The residents in rural areas have thus enjoyed a boost in incomes. The majority of the population lives in isolated rural areas. They are engaged in subsistence agriculture and have very limited access to economic opportunities and social services. The oil and gas sector together with the mining sector account for one-quarter of the country’s GDP. The rise in commodity prices in year 2009 and year 2010 led to strong growth in the sectors.

The Forestry Industry in PNG

Relative to the rest of the world, the country has a high percentage of forest area. According to the World Bank, forest accounts for 63.4% of the country’s total area. Approximately 80% (37 million hectares) of the total land area are classified as forest according to Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Of the total forest area, about 20% (7 million hectares) has the potential to supply wood on a sustained yield basis. It follows naturally that the forestry industry plays a significant role in the country’s economy. The export of sawn timber and forestry products of the country has witnessed a remarkable uptrend since the 1990s. The peak of the export value was reached in year 2008 in which the financial crisis occurred.

VALUATION METHODOLOGY

The Valuation Approaches

The following generally accepted valuation approaches have been considered in the valuation:

  1. The income approach provides an indication of value based on the principle that an informed buyer would pay no more than the present value of anticipated future economic benefits generated by the subject asset;

  2. The market approach provides an indication of value by comparing the subject asset to similar assets that have been sold in the market, with appropriate adjustments for the differences between the assets; and

  3. The cost approach provides an indication of value based on the principle that an informed buyer would pay no more than the cost of producing a substitute asset with equal utility as the subject asset.

The income approach was considered to be the most appropriate valuation approach in the valuation.

Under the income approach, the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method was adopted. In applying the DCF method, the free cash flows for each year in the future were determined. The results were then discounted using a discount rate to determine the present value of the free cash flows.

The Production Schedule

According to the Feasibility Study, the annual sawlog production of the forest in the Project Area is expected to be 25,000 cubic meters in the first year of operation and 60,000 cubic meters in the second year of operation, based on a selective harvesting over 22 years.

(3) Financial information in respect of the company is publicly available.

The Discount Rate

The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) was adopted as the discount rate for the valuation. It is calculated by multiplying the cost of each source of capital by its proportional weight. The WACC comprises two components: the cost of equity and the cost of debt. The cost of equity was determined using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM).

The yield rate of the 10-year United States Treasury Bonds of 2.11% was adopted as the risk-free rate. The yield rate of the 10-year United States Treasury Bonds as extracted from Bloomberg was adopted as it is generally adopted as the long term risk-free rate for the valuation of a business with long projected life. The United States Treasury Bonds is generally viewed as default-free, while the PRC government bond is not default-free.

Because of the inexistence of a stock market in PNG, the market risk premium of Indonesia of 7.96% was used as a proxy for the market risk premium of PNG. The market risk premium was determined by the market risk premium of the United States and the country risk premium of Indonesia.

The market risk premium of the United States is determined with reference to ‘‘2010 Ibbotson Risk Premia Over Time Report’’ published by Morning Star. The country risk premium of Indonesia is determined with reference to the difference in volatilities of the prices, as extracted from Bloomberg, of Indonesia’s and United States’ major indices.

The beta coefficient of 0.837 was determined by the average of the unlevered betas of the Comparable Companies, then being relevered based on the specific corporate tax rate and the weight of debt applied to the Target Group.

By considering the size of the Target Group, a size premium of 3.99% which was determined with reference to ‘‘2010 Ibbotson Risk Premia Over Time Report’’ published by Morning Star, was adopted. To convert the cost of equity in United States dollars into a cost of equity in the local currency, the result was scaled by the relative inflation. As a result, the cost of equity in the local currency was calculated as 16.12%.

– 116 –

VALUATION REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX V

The cost of debt of 12.05% was determined by the expected lending rate of the Target Group. The after-tax cost of debt of 8.44% was calculated by multiplying one minus the corporate tax rate of PNG of 30.00% by the cost of debt.

The weight of debt of 25.65% was determined by the average of the weights of debt of the Comparable Companies, and the weight of equity of 74.35% was calculated as one minus the weight of debt.

As a result, the WACC of the Target Group was calculated as 14.15%.

The Discount for the Lack of Marketability

The concept of marketability deals with the liquidity of an ownership interest. The lack of marketability is a downward adjustment to the value of an investment to reflect its reduced level of marketability. In the valuation, 15% has been adopted as the discount for the lack of marketability, which is determined with reference to the study done by Frank C. Evans and David M. Bishop, principals of the American Business Appraisers.

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

The sensitivity analysis has been applied to determine the impact of changes in the discount rate on the market value of the Target Group. The results of the sensitivity analysis were as follows:

Change in Discount Change in Market
Rate Discount Rate Market Value Value
(%) (%) (US$) (%)
+2% 16.15% 114,000,000 –19.15%
+1% 15.15% 127,000,000 –9.93%

CONCLUSION OF VALUE

Our conclusion of value is based on accepted valuation procedures and practices that rely substantially on the use of numerous assumptions and the consideration of a lot of uncertainties, not all of which can be easily ascertained or quantified.

Further, whilst the assumptions and consideration of such matters are considered by us to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies that are beyond the control of the Company, the Target Group, the Vendors, the Resource Assessor or us.

Based on our investigation and analysis outlined in this report, it is our opinion that the market value of the 100% equity interest in Profit Grand Enterprises Limited together with its only subsidiary, I-Sky Natural Resources (PNG) Limited (i.e. the ‘‘Target Group’’), as at 31 October 2011 was US$141,000,000 (UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY ONE MILLION ONLY).

We hereby certify that we have neither present nor prospective interest in the Company, the Target Group, the Vendors, the Resource Assessor, the Resource Assessment Report, the Feasibility Study, the Project Area or the result reported.

RESOURCE ASSESSMENT REPORT

APPENDIX VI

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

Pacific Plywood Holdings Limited intends to acquire Profit Grand Enterprises Limited (‘‘Target Company’’) which owns the exploitation right in a forest in Vabari Timber Area in Sogeri District in the Central Province of Papua New Guinea (PNG) with the size of 68,500 hectares (‘‘Vabari Timber Area Assessment Region’’).

In November 2011, the Research Institute of Tropical Forestry Chinese Academy of Forestry (the ‘‘Academy’’) was engaged by Pacific Plywood Holdings Limited to assess the total volume of timber resources in the region. This report is a technical assessment report solely prepared by the technical assessment expert of the Research Institute of Tropical Forestry Chinese Academy of Forestry.

1.2 Main areas for assessment and assessment index

In response to the request made by Pacific Plywood Holdings Limited, the main areas and technical index are as follows: timber volume in the woodland (i.e. existing volume of standing timber, square meters), type of timber (i.e. premium-level, first-level, second-level, third-level, and fourth-level).

2. ASSESSMENT OF THE GENERAL CONDITION OF THE WOODLAND

Pacific Plywood Holdings Limited requires the assessment of the Vabari Timber Area in Sogeri District in the Central Province of Papua New Guinea (PNG). As shown in Figure 1, it is geographically located in 7°52’–8°28’N and 147°17’–147°39’E. Detailed location of the timber area approved by the government of PNG is shown in Figure 2. Altitude of the timber area ranged from 100 m to 3,700 m. The slope is relatively steep. However, the majority of the timber area is located in altitude below 1,500 m.

Total area under assessment in the timber area as required by Pacific Plywood Holdings Limited is 68,500 hectares. However, the reference materials provided by the Target Company (‘‘Reference Materials’’) reveals that the boundary of the region is not yet confirmed, hence the actual assessable timber area is 64,215 hectares.

The Forests in the region can be divided into 3 types, including: non-forest or low-density forest, medium-density forest, high-density forest. Non-forest or low-density forest is largely covered by shrub; medium density forest represents forest located in high altitude area which have been damaged, while high density forest mainly represents the portion located in the south eastern and medium to steep slope part of the region being undisturbed.

Slope in the whole timber area can be categorized in 3 grades: 0–15°, 15–25° and >25°. According to the relevant law of PNG, harvesting is allowed in all kinds of forests in slopes up to 25° and only selective cutting is allowed on slopes ranges from 25° to 30°. Therefore, the forest area allowed for harvesting set out in this forest resources assessment report only considers the forests with slopes up to 25°.

RESOURCE ASSESSMENT REPORT

APPENDIX VI

Taking into account the conditions such as the forest area, different forest types and the grading of their slopes, the list of actual operable forest area is set out below (Table 1).

As shown in Table 1, the forest area allowed for harvesting with slope below 25° is 49,771 hectares. However, based on the satellite data analysis, there is a large forest area of approximately 21,152 hectares that is not suitable for harvest.

Meanwhile, relevant PNG law also provides that: (1) harvesting in forest with grade 2 river within 10 meters is not allowed; (2) harvesting in forest with grade 1 river within 500 meters is not allowed; (3) harvesting in forest within 100 meters from the park or memorial area is not allowed; (4) harvesting in forest within 500 meters from permanent residential area is not allowed. Total area of the above forest is 3,734 hectares.

RESOURCE ASSESSMENT REPORT

APPENDIX VI

Taking the above factors into consideration and after deducting the regions that is not suitable or not allowed for harvesting, the actual forest area that is allowed for harvesting is only 24,885 hectares, representing 38.8% of the actual assessable forest area of 64,215 hectares.

3. ASSESSMENT METHOD

3.1 Setting up of field survey sample plots and tree measurement

Forest resources assessment mainly depends on the typical sampling of the assessed forest region. The forest resources field survey data in this assessment is derived from Reference Materials. After the review of the technical assessment expert team in this report, it is considered that the original survey data is reliable and can be applied to this forest resources assessment.

The survey data is obtained from the sample of the on-site investigation carried out in the Vabari Timber Area assessment region. During the field survey on the timber (standing timber) volume, the sample plots (‘‘standard plots’’ or ‘‘sample plots’’) is mainly set up in the representative woodland in the forest area that can be harvested in the future. Sampling in areas with steep slope is avoided. Center points are located in 3 regions while the sample is collected from all directions in a radiation form. Allocation of field survey sample plots is shown in Figure 3. Area for each sample plot is 1,000 square meters (Rectangular sample plot, 50 m X 20 m). 258 sample plots are investigated. After verification of data, it is found that data from 254 sample plots can be applied. Therefore, the total area being surveyed in this assessment is 25.4 hectares.

The sample survey recorded the tree measurement parameters such as the name of the trees (English name, Latin name or local name), Diameter at Breast Height (DBH), log length (trunk length or timber length) (L), and Diameter at Small End of the Log (DSEL). DBH threshold and DSEL threshold are 30 cm and 20 cm respectively for the measurement of timber volume (standing timber).

3.2 Calculation of Timber Volume for standing timber in woodland

Calculation of timber volume is based on the local Inspection and Measurement Standard for Log Volume in PNG[*] . The formula for timber volume calculation is as follows:

V = π x [(DBH + DSEL)/100][2] x L ÷ 16

Where DBH is the Diameter at Breast Height at the level of 1.3 m, DSEL is the Diameter at Small End of the Log, expressed in centimeter; L is Timber Length, expressed in meter.

The above formula can calculate the volume of the standing timber within the sample plot and the timber volume per unit area. Hence we can calculate the total volume of standing timber based on the assessment of the operable woodland area and other parameters (including the hollow rate and the defective rate of timbers) based on the requirement of Pacific Plywood Holdings Limited.

3.3 Classification of plants

According to the commercial use and import and export condition of different types of trees in PNG and the classification standard of timbers in China, all trees are categorized in the following 5 types: (1) premium-level trees; (2) first-level trees; (3) second-level trees; (4) thirdlevel trees; (5) fourth-level trees. The type, class and expect selling approach in the market of the plantation appears in the forest based on the investigation results of the sample plots are listed in Table 3.

4. ASSESSMENT RESULT

  • 4.1 DBH and timber length distribution for timber in Vabari Timber Area assessment region

A total of 1,764 trees were recorded in the 254 sample plots with DBH threshold of more than 30 cm, detailed DBH and timber length distributions are set out in Figure 4 and Figure 5 respectively.

Figure 4 indicates that trees in the assessed woodland were dominated by those timber with small to medium DBH, most of which were less than 50 cm (73.97%). Percentage of the total number of trees gradually decreased with larger DBH, which is in line with the DBH structure of a natural forest, indicating that such forest has not been largely intervened and destroyed. Few timbers with large DBH also grow in the forest. For example, trees with DBH over 70 cm accounted for 4.82% of all trees. However, the forest stock volume may not be high due to the lack of substantial number of trees with large DBH.

Figure 5 indicates that the operable timber length of trees in the woodland was normal. Trees with timber length of 12–14 m were of the largest quantity, accounted for 21.49% of all trees. The number of trees with large timber length is relatively small, of which those trees over 16 m only accounted for 5.95% of all trees.

RESOURCE ASSESSMENT REPORT

APPENDIX VI

According to the past survey findings on the historical hollow rate and defective rate of timbers in tropical forest, 30% of timbers could not be put into proper use. Based on such 30% of hollow rate and defective rate of timbers, the total number and total timber volume for the trees that can be utilized efficiently would be 1.210 million and 1.838 million square meters respectively, as shown in table 8 and table 9.

As indicated in table 8 and table 9, Vabari Timber Area assessment region contains various operable timber resources (excluding the 30% hollow and defective timbers) as follows:

  • (1) Premium-level trees: There are a total of 16,500 premium-level trees, with timber area of 18,200 m[3] , of which ebony and Pterocarpus indicus occupying 2,895 m[3] and 15,340 m[3] respectively.

  • (2) First-level trees: There are a total of 419,000 first-level trees, with timber area of 692,400 m[3] , forming the largest species of timber in the woodland.

  • (3) Second-level trees: There are a total of 119,000 second-level trees, with timber area of 243,100 m[3] .

  • (4) Third-level trees: There are a total of 185,000 third-level trees, with timber area of 267,300 m[3] .

  • (5) Fourth-level trees: There are a total of 470,000 fourth-level trees, with timber area of 617,200 m[3] , forming the second large category of timber in the woodland.

Data in the above six tables from Table 4 to Table 9 is determined based on the commercial use as well as the import and export conditions of local tree species in PNG, with reference to the timber classification standard in the PRC. However, assuming that a majority of timber from the said forest area is exported to the PRC, according to the pricing standard of timber in the PRC market, premium-level trees (rosewood equivalent) are generally set at a higher price, while first, second and third-level trees with DBH under 50 cm are set at a lower price range similar to that of the fourth-level trees. Accordingly, the revised survey results as shown in Table 10 is reached by reclassifying the first, second and third-level trees with DBH under 50 cm as the fourth-level trees, and consolidated such data into two groups of trees with DBH under and over 50 cm. Should the 30% hollow rate and defective rate of timber are taken account, the survey results excluding the hollow and defective timbers is shown in table 11.

The difference between the surveying method used in Table 10/Table 11 and Table 7/Table 9 is that the proportion of the first, second and third-level trees is reduced because those timbers with DBH under 50 cm are reclassified as fourth-level trees, that is, the price of the first, second and third-level trees with small DBH is similar to that of the fourth-level trees. However, the premium-level trees with different DBH are of different use such as carvings, decorations and ornaments, thus its price is maintained at a relatively higher level.

5. VALUATION OVERALLS

Pacific Plywood Holdings Limited requires to assess the forest area of Vabari Timber Area with a total area of 68,500 hectares (forest area available for assessment: 64,215 hectares), with an actual harvestable forest area of only 24,885 hectares.

The said forest area is a tropical rainforest which has a small proportion of trees with large DBH but few premium-level trees. According to the abovementioned survey data of the sample plots, the operable trees reserve is low but contains a significant portion of first-level trees which should pay attention to and bring into use.

RESOURCE ASSESSMENT REPORT

APPENDIX VI

According to the sampling survey results, within the actual harvestable forest area of 24,885 hectares and taking into account the price difference among trees of various DBH (reclassifying the first, second and third-level trees as the fourth-level trees), the total timber volume would be 2.6261 million m[3] , including 26,100 m[3] of premium-level trees, 529,000 m[3] of first-level trees, 248,900 m[3] of second-level trees, 195,000 m[3] of third-level trees, and the highest 1.6272 million m[3] of fourth-level trees (timbers with DBH more than 50 cm of occupying only 412,000 m[3] ). Based on the maximum 30% of hollow and defective timbers, the timber volume of the woodland would be 1.8383 million m[3] , including 18,200 m[3] of premium-level trees, 370,300 m[3] of first-level trees, 174,200 m[3] of second-level trees, 136,500 m[3] of third-level trees, and of the highest 1.1390 million m[3] of fourth-level trees (timbers with DBH more than 50 cm occupying only 288,400 m[3] ).

In addition, the field survey data used in this valuation is sourced from Reference Materials. After the review of the technical experts of this assessment report, the original data is deemed to be reliable to satisfy the basic data requirement of this assessment. However, the forest sample plots set up to collect those survey data is concentrated in the high-density forest in the south-western corner of the forest region (as shown in Figure 3) and does not cover the entire forest area under assessment, thus might result in deviation to the assessment outcome.

Overall speaking, after reviewing such report, the assessment experts are of the view that, intensive field surveying has been conducted to reflect the overall timber reserve of the whole forest area, which yields a more accurate result under the limitation of sampling in the field. Such assessment method, in terms of analyzing procedures and assessment result, is a scientific approach to produce a reliable conclusion to represent the basic condition of the forest resources currently found in the Vabari Timber Area assessment region in Sogeri District in the Central Province of Papua New Guinea (PNG) as required by Pacific Plywood Holdings Limited.

Survey data set out in this technical report is updated to 1 April 2011, and does not contain any resources increment thereafter.

Section A

REPORT FROM ZHONGLEI (HK) CPA COMPANY LIMITED

The Board of Directors Pacific Plywood Holdings Limited Units 3301–3303, 33/F. West Tower Shun Tak Centre 168–200 Connaught Road Central Sheung Wan, Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

INDEPENDENT ASSURANCE REPORT

We have examined the accounting policies adopted and calculations of the underlying profit forecast (the ‘‘Underlying Forecast’’) to the business valuation dated 31 October 2011 prepared by BMI Appraisals Limited (the ‘‘Valuer’’) in respect of the valuation on Profit Grand Enterprises Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiary (hereinafter collectively referred to as the ‘‘Target Group’’) in connection with the proposed acquisition of 30% equity interests in the Target Group by Pacific Plywood Holdings Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) as set out in Appendix II and V of the circular of the Company dated 29 February 2012 (the ‘‘Circular’’).

Responsibilities

The directors of the Company and the Target Group (the ‘‘Directors’’) are solely responsible for the preparation of the Underlying Forecast including the assumptions, for the purpose of business valuation of the Target Group based on discounted cash flow method. The Underlying Forecast has been prepared using a set of assumptions (the ‘‘Assumptions’’) that include hypothetical assumptions about future events and management’s actions that are not necessarily expected to occur. Even if the events anticipated occur, actual results are still likely to be different from the Underlying Forecast and the variation may be material. The Directors are responsible for the reasonableness and validity of the assumptions.

It is our responsibility to form an opinion, based on our work on the Underlying Forecast and to report our opinion solely to you, as a body, solely for the purpose of reporting under Rule 14.62 of Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ‘‘Listing Rules’’) and for no other purpose. We have not reviewed, considered or conducted any work on the reasonableness and the validity of the assumptions and express no opinion on the reasonableness and validity of the Assumptions on which the Underlying Forecast is based. We accept no responsibility to any other person in respect of, arising out of or in connection with our work.

REPORTS ON FORECASTS UNDERLYING THE VALUATION ON THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX VII

Summary of our work

We conducted our work in accordance with the Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 ‘‘Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Review of Historical Financial Information’’ issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and with reference to the procedures specified in Auditing Guideline 3.341 ‘‘Accountants’ Report on Profit Forecasts’’. We examined the consistency of accounting policies adopted and the arithmetical accuracy of the Underlying Forecast. Our work has been undertaken solely to assist the Directors in evaluating whether the Underlying Forecast, so far as the accounting policies and calculations are concerned, has been properly compiled in accordance with the Assumptions made by the Directors. Our work does not constitute any valuation of the Target Group.

Opinion

In our opinion, so far as the accounting policies and calculations are concerned, the Underlying Forecast has been properly compiled in accordance with the Assumptions made by the Directors as set out in Appendix V of the Circular and is presented on a basis consistent in all material aspects with the accounting policies currently adopted by the Company.

Yours faithfully,

ZHONGLEI (HK) CPA Company Limited

Dear Sirs,

Terms used in this letter have the same meanings as defined elsewhere in the circular of Pacific Plywood Holdings Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) dated 29 February 2012 (the ‘‘Circular’’) unless the context requires otherwise. We refer to the valuation (the ‘‘Valuation’’) dated 31 October 2011 prepared by BMI Appraisals Limited (the ‘‘Valuer’’) in relation to the market value of 100% equity interest in Profit Grand Enterprises Limited (the ‘‘Target Company’’) together with its only subsidiary, I-Sky Natural Resources (PNG) Limited (referred to as ‘‘Target Subsidiary’’) (the Target Company and the Target Subsidiary collectively referred to as the ‘‘Target Group’’). As stated in the valuation report issued by the Valuer, the Valuation has been arrived at based on the income approach, which takes into account the cash flow projection of the Target Group.

We have reviewed the Valuation and other relevant information and documents which you as the directors of the Company (the ‘‘Directors’’) are solely responsible for and have discussed with you and the Valuer the information and documents provided by you which formed part of the basis and assumptions upon which the Valuation has been made. In addition, we have considered, and relied upon, the report addressed to the board of Directors from Zhonglei (HK) CPA Company Limited regarding the accounting policies and calculations upon which the Valuation has been made.

On the basis of the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Valuation, which the Directors are solely responsible for, has been prepared after due and careful enquiry by the Directors.
