LETTER FROM THE BOARD
An Independent Board Committee has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders in respect of the terms of the Acquisition, as well as the CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement and the proposed caps of the transactions thereunder. In this respect, Altus Capital has been appointed as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders.
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, (i) information on the Acquisition as well as the CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement and the proposed caps of the transactions thereunder; (ii) to set out the advice from Altus Capital, the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the terms of the same; (iii) the recommendation from the Independent Board Committee; (iv) financial information of the Group; (v) financial information of the Target Group and CEC Xi’an; (vi) unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group; (vii) property valuation report; and (viii) to give notice of SGM.
THE EQUITY TRANSFER AGREEMENT
| Date: | 5 July 2013 |
|---|---|
| Purchaser: | the Company |
| Vendor: | CEC |
Assets to be acquired
Pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreement, CEC has conditionally agreed to sell and the Company has conditionally agreed to purchase 100% equity interest in CEC Technology. Details of CEC Technology are set out in section headed “Information on the Target Group” below.
Consideration
The consideration for the Acquisition shall be RMB600 million (equivalent to approximately HK$750 million), which has been agreed after arm’s length negotiation between the Company and CEC. The consideration represented a discount of approximately 16% to the agreed value of the Relevant Equity Interest, which was derived by the audited consolidated net asset value of the Target Group as at 30 April 2013, plus the difference between the market value and the carrying value of the property interests held by the Target Group attributable to CEC Technology as at 30 April 2013 and, if the transfer of 38.96% equity interest in CEC Xi’an to CEC Technology (as more particularly described below) is taken into account, the consideration represented a discount of approximately 14% to the agreed value of the Relevant Equity Interest.
The consideration of RMB600 million is payable in two instalments:
- (a) 60% of the consideration (i.e. RMB360 million), payable within 5 business days of the date on which the Equity Transfer Agreement takes effect; and
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
- (b) 40% of the consideration (i.e. RMB240 million), payable within 6 months of the date on which the Equity Transfer Agreement takes effect, together with the interest calculated in accordance with the prevailing benchmark lending rate of Renminbi.
Under the Equity Transfer Agreement, the consideration is payable in two instalments, where the second instalment is payable within 6 months of the date on which the Equity Transfer Agreement takes effect. In other words, the Company may choose to pay the second instalment any time before the stipulated deadline. The Company considers that this arrangement allows the Company flexibility with respect to payment timing and is in the interest of the Company.
The provision on the calculation of interest was made in accordance with applicable PRC regulations. Article 20 of the Interim Measures for the Management of the Transfer of the Stateowned Property Right of Enterprises(企業國有產權轉讓管理暫行辦法)provides, among other things, that where the consideration of a transfer of state-owned property rights is paid by instalments, an interest shall be paid to the transferor on the outstanding amounts at the bank lending rates of the same period.
The actual interest to be paid will be determined based on the actual amount outstanding, the timing when the second instalment is paid, as well as the prevailing bank lending rates which may fluctuate from time to time. Therefore, it is not possible to determine the actual interest amounts at present. However, by way of illustration, assuming that the second instalment of RMB240 million will be paid on the date falling 6 months after the date on which the Equity Transfer Agreement takes effect, the maximum interest payable would be approximately RMB6.7 2 million, calculated at the current benchmark lending rate of the RMB at 5.60% per annum.
The Company expected that the consideration will be satisfied in cash from internal resources and borrowing facilities of the Group.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Electronic information technology industrial parks
Modern information technology is a very important driving force behind the social and economic development in the 21st century, and it is the foundation for enhancing the nation’s competitiveness as well as creating strategic and pillar industries.

For the purpose of promoting the development of electronic information technology industrial parks as well as enhancing the innovation and competitiveness of the relevant industrial sectors, the PRC government promulgated “Policies regarding the support for the development of the State’s information technology bases and industrial parks”(《支持國家電子信息產業基地和產 業園發展的若干政策》), which laid down the directions and policy support for the development of electronic information technology industrial parks in the PRC.
The vision of the Industrial Parks is to enable science and technology companies to nurture ideas, innovate and grow, and provide support to them.

MAJOR TRANSACTION AND CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS – CEC TECHNOLOGY FINANCIAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
Background
Currently, CEC Finance provides various financial services to the Target Group. It is expected that these financial services will continue after the Acquisition. As CEC Technology will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company after the Completion, these financial services between CEC Finance and the Target Group will, upon the Completion, become continuing connected transactions of the Company. Such financial services include:
- (a) deposit services, including but not limited to time deposits, call deposits and negotiable deposits;
– 18 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
-
(b) provision of financial assistance, including but not limited to unsecured and secured RMB and foreign currencies loans, finance leasing, discounting of bank acceptance bills and commercial acceptance bills and factoring of account receivables; and
-
(c) provision of fee- and commission-based financial services, including but not limited to guarantee services, fund management, agency services and financial consultancy services.
The Company proposes that CEC Technology shall enter into the CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement with CEC Finance, with a view to govern the terms of the financial services provided by CEC Finance to the Target Group after the Acquisition.
CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement
The CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement would not create any obligation on the part of the Target Group to utilise any particular services of CEC Finance. Other than time deposits which have specified deposit terms, the Target Group may at any time withdraw the funds deposited with CEC Finance without incurring any penalty. CEC Finance is one of a number of financial institutions which provide financial services to the Target Group. The Target Group may obtain financial services available from any other financial institutions in addition to or instead of CEC Finance, as it sees fit.
The interest rates for the Target Group’s deposits with CEC Finance will be determined by reference to, and shall not be less than, the rates offered to the Target Group by other domestic commercial banks for comparable deposits.
The interest rates for the financial assistance provided by CEC Finance to the Target Group will be determined by reference to, and shall not be higher than, the rates offered to the Target Group by other domestic commercial banks for comparable financial assistance.
The fees and commissions for the fee- and commission-based financial services provided by CEC Finance to the Target Group will be determined by reference to, and shall not be higher than, the fees and commissions charged by other domestic commercial banks or financial institutions for the same type of financial services.
The interests on the deposits and the financial assistance, and the fees and commissions for the fee- and commission-based financial services will be payable in cash according to the terms of the deposits, financial assistance or financial services provided.
– 19 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
To the Group’s understanding, the PBOC promulgates standard or reference rates for certain loan and deposit services, in which case domestic commercial banks are expected to price their services within the stipulated rates. If such a standard or reference rate exists, the Target Group would refer to such standard or reference rates before agreeing with CEC Finance on the pricing of the relevant financial service. Such standard or reference rates are less common for fee- and commission-based financial services. In any case, before making a deposit with, seeking financial assistance from or using fee- and commission-based financial services from CEC Finance, the Target Group would obtain the interest rates and/or fee/commission (as appropriate) offered by one or two reputable domestic commercial banks or financial institutions which the Target Group has established business relationship and compare that with the interest rates and/or fee/commission offered by CEC Finance.
The CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement is subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders and will take effect from the date of the Completion and expire on 30 June 2016. Upon expiry of the CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement, the agreement may be renewed for further terms of three years if the parties so agree, subject to compliance of the requirements under the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
In arriving at the above caps for the provision of deposit services by CEC Finance to the Target Group, the Company and CEC Technology have made reference to the cash flow position and the treasury policy of the Group and of the Target Group, that is to maintain safety of cash resources, to retain flexibility in the deployment of funds, to ensure sufficient liquidity, to support operational needs, as well as to minimise financing cost and to achieve reasonable return from surplus funds. The maximum daily balance of deposit was arrived at taking into consideration of the annual cap relating to the provision of financial assistance by CEC Finance to the Target Group. In particular, as part of its treasury policy, CEC is prepared to provide annual financial assistance of the above amounts to the Target Group through CEC Finance. The proposed annual caps is determined with reference to the possible capital and operational needs of the Target Group, which the Company and CEC Technology understand to be the limit proposed by CEC Finance based on their internal assessment on the maximum amount of unsecured and secured financial assistance which they may provide to the Target Group. In return for the financial assistance provided by CEC Finance, the proposed maximum daily balance of deposit was set at a level which is the same as the limit of the financial assistance that could be provided. The reason for the increased estimated caps for the year of 2013 and 2014 as compared to the historical transaction amounts of financial assistance between CEC Finance and the Target Group is mainly to cater for the possible requirement of funding for the investment in the Industrial Parks. The Company estimates that the possible need for investment in the Industrial Parks will principally consist of (i) the construction costs for buildings and facilities necessary for attracting manufacturers of computers and computer storage, as well as enterprises engaging in software research and services, and the production of key parts of LCD monitors and A/D power in CEC Beihai Industrial Park; (ii) the construction costs for buildings and facilities necessary for attracting enterprises engaging in software research, software outsourcing and information training as well as call centres and internet media in Hainan Resort Software Community; (iii) the construction costs for buildings and facilities necessary for attracting enterprises engaging in cloud computing services and service outsourcing in CEC Xi’an Industrial Park; and (iv) the funding requirement in respect of the consideration of RMB 36 million relating to the proposed acquisition of the additional equity interest in CEC Xi’an from 6th Research Institute by CEC Technology. While the financing from CEC Finance provided financing alternative to the Target Group, the Company estimated that as the Industrial Parks reach a more advanced stage of development from the year of 2015 onwards, it is intended and expected that the Target Group would be able to utilize other sources of funding and reduce reliance on CEC Finance for its possible financial needs and hence less funding from CEC Finance is expected for 2015. Despite the expectation of less reliance on CEC Finance, increase of the cap for 2016 as compared to 2015 is to accord with the current estimate that additional funding would be required for further development on one of the Industrial Parks in 2016 and hence a need for increased cap to allow flexibility in financing alternatives. The Company wishes to emphasise that the caps are estimated figures that were to allow the Target Group more flexibility in terms of financing alternatives for its operation (including but not limited to the development on the Industrial Parks).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
In arriving at the above caps for the fees and commissions payable for the provision of feeand commission-based financial services by CEC Finance, the Company and CEC Technology have made reference to the possible demand of the fee- and commission-based financial services provided by CEC Finance to the Target Group and the fees and commissions payable for such services.
Financial effects of the transactions under CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement
In respect of the transactions under the CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement, the Company is of the view that: (1) the cash deposited by the Target Group with CEC Finance will generate interest at a rate not less than the rates offered to the Target Group by other domestic commercial banks for comparable deposits; and (2) the Target Group is able to obtain financial assistance from CEC Finance at an interest rate not higher than the rates offered to the Target Group by other domestic commercial banks for comparable financial assistance. The Company is of the view that the provision of fee- and commission-based financial services by CEC Finance to the Target Group would not have any significant impact on the earnings, assets and liabilities of the Group.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION AND THE ENTERING INTO THE CEC TECHNOLOGY FINANCIAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
The Board believes the Acquisition and the CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement incidental to the Acquisition are in line with the development strategies of the Group, and will bring long-term and strategic benefits to the Group, including but not limited to the following:
The Acquisition
As a result of the rolling out of supportive policies that are designed to enhance the growth of the information technology industry as well as the room for growth that is being expanded by the nationwide rural-urban transformation, the Board believes that the outlook of electronic information technology industrial parks is positive and that by tapping into this sector, the Company will be able to leverage this opportunity to extend its principal business of designing and developing integrated circuits into the electronic information technology industrial parks sector and complement their existing information technology facilities with a view to accelerating development of the electronic information technology industrial parks and achieving growth for the Company.
The Company takes a positive view on the development of the electronic information technology industrial parks in the PRC and, with the support that will be given under the relevant policies, it is anticipated that the electronic information technology industrial parks will see considerable growth. It is further expected that by participating in the development and management of electronic information technology industrial parks, the Company will be in a good
– 23 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
position to capture the opportunities that will be presented by the electronic information technology sector and enable the Company to upgrade the conventional industries by integrating them with modern information technology and urbanisation.
It is anticipated that, subsequent to the Acquisition, the Company will step up its efforts in developing the Target Group by leveraging on its strong information technology expertise and client network, and the Board believes that such efforts will eventually realise income earning potential of the Target Group which will, in turn, enhance the quality of the assets held by the Group and thereby enhancing the Group’s profitability and growth.
The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms of the Acquisition under the Equity Transfer Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement
CEC Finance is a non-bank financial institution approved and regulated by the PBOC and the CBRC. CEC Finance was established for the purpose of enhancing the centralised management of funds within the CEC Group and for improving the fund utilisation efficiency of the CEC Group as a whole. CEC Finance is permitted to provide various financial services such as deposit services, loan services, finance leasing and investment services to the CEC Group.
The main reasons and advantages for the Target Group’s utilising the financial services provided by CEC Finance are as follows:
-
(i) CEC Finance has been providing various financial services to the Target Group prior to the Acquisition. Therefore, in order to maintain stability in the financial operation of the Target Group, it is beneficial and commercially sensible for the Target Group to continue such arrangements.
-
(ii) The interest rates on deposits and financial assistance offered by CEC Finance to the Target Group will be no less favourable than those offered by other domestic commercial banks. CEC Finance is also ready to provide financial assistance to the Target Group on an unsecured basis. The fees and commissions for the fee- and commission-based financial services provided by CEC Finance will not be higher than those charged by other domestic commercial banks or financial institutions.
-
(iii) CEC Finance is regulated by the PBOC and the CBRC and provides its services in accordance and in compliance with the rules and operational requirements of these regulatory authorities.
– 24 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
-
(iv) The Target Group is expected to benefit from CEC Finance’s better understanding of the operations of the Target Group which will allow expedient and efficient service provision. The Target Group also expects that as an intra-group service provider, CEC Finance will generally have a better and more efficient communication with the Target Group compared with other domestic commercial banks or financial institutions.
-
(v) The CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement will provide the Target Group with the right and flexibility, which it may choose to utilise the different kinds of financial assistance provided by CEC Finance and secure an additional and stable financing for its operations.
The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms of the CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement and the proposed caps of the transactions thereunder are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
FUTURE PLAN ON ACQUISITION AND DISPOSAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no immediate plans to dispose of its business or assets, and has not entered into any written agreements and/or memorandum of understanding with respect to the same. The Company will continuously monitor its business portfolio as well as the performance of its existing business and the Industrial Parks. If necessary, the Company will enter into transactions with a view to ensuring progressive return to its shareholders.
The Company made an announcement on 25 June 2013 on the Strategic Cooperation Framework Agreement in relation to the construction of Beibu Gulf Eco-Wisdom Electronics City. The said project is still under evaluation by the government authority and there have been no substantial updates since date of the announcement. Subject to decision by the Company, the Company may decide to use CEC Beihai as the vehicle in the Group’s development of this project.
The Company will comply with all the relevant requirements under the Listing Rules and the SFO and announcement(s) will be made by the Company as and when appropriate.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
RISK FACTORS
Risks relating to the business of the Target Group
The business of the Target Group is dependent on the information technology sector in China
The business of the Target Group depends on the growth of the information technology sector in China, particularly the electronic information technology sector, which is the driving force behind the demand for the Industrial Parks. Although the information technology sector is demonstrating a growing trend which is in part supported by favourable government policies, any negative trend in the information technology sector or other restrictive policies may materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Target Group.
The Target Group’s results of operations substantially depend on its ability to execute its business strategy and the development of the Industrial Parks
The Target Group’s results of operations substantially depend on the successful execution of its business strategy and the development of the Industrial Parks to attract high quality clients, achieve market rental rates and improve the surrounding infrastructure.
The Target Group may face challenges in implementing its strategies, and its ability to achieve its goals may be adversely affected by various factors, some of which are beyond its control. If the Target Group is not able to execute its business strategy or successfully develop the Industrial Parks, the Target Group’s business, results of operations and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.
The Target Group may not be able to replace or renew all of the existing lease agreements upon their expiration
The Company cannot assure that the Target Group will be able to replace or renew most or all of the existing lease agreements upon their expiration, that the Target Group will be able to maintain its existing occupancy rates, and that the Target Group will be able to increase rental rates. If the Target Group is unable to renew or replace these lease agreements at higher rental rates, the Target Group’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
– 26 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Risk relating to the Acquisition
The Acquisition is subject to regulatory approval by authorities in the PRC
Completion is conditional upon, amongst other things, the Equity Transfer Agreement having completed all the necessary approval and/or filing procedures in the PRC. The aforesaid approval and filing procedures are subject to various factors some of which are beyond the Company’s control, and the Company cannot guarantee whether and when the necessary approval and/or filing procedures will be completed. If the necessary approval not being granted, Completion could not take place which could eventually materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
INFORMATION ON THE PARTIES
(a) Information on the Group
The Company is an investment holding company. The principal activities of the Group are the design, research and development and sale of integrated circuits.
(b) Information on CEC
CEC is a state-owned enterprise established under the laws of the PRC. Established in 1989 with the approval of the State Council of the PRC, CEC is a nationwide electronics and information technology conglomerate directly administered by the PRC government. CEC actively focuses on communications, consumer electronics, semi-conductor and software sectors in the PRC.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As at the Latest Practicable Date, CEC was interested in approximately 71.30% of the issued share capital of the Company. CEC is the ultimate controlling shareholder of the Company and thus is a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Acquisition constitutes a connected transaction of the Company .
CEC Finance is a subsidiary of CEC. As such, CEC Finance is a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules and upon the Completion, the CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement and the transactions thereunder will constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company.
As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios referred to in Chapters 14 and 14A of the Listing Rules for the Acquisition exceed 25% but all of which are less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction and connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 and 14A of the Listing Rules respectively and is subject to requirements for reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval.
– 27 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Company considers that the nature of the continuing connected transactions under the CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement are similar to the continuing connected transactions under the 2013-2016 comprehensive financial services agreement dated 7 May 2013 between the Company and CEC Finance, and the relevant annual caps of the transactions under the two agreements should be aggregated for the purpose of determining the classification of the continuing connected transactions and their compliance requirements. Taking into account the continuing connected transactions under the two agreements, one or more of the applicable aggregated percentage ratios referred to in Chapters 14 and 14A of the Listing Rules exceed 25% but all of which are less than 100%, and therefore the provision of financial services under the CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement constitute a major transaction and continuing connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14 and 14A of the Listing Rules respectively and are subject to requirements for reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval.
None of the Directors have a material interest in the Acquisition and the CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement and/or the transactions thereunder. Accordingly, no Director was required to abstain from voting on the board resolutions in respect thereof.

LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL
On 5 July 2013, the Company and CEC entered into the Equity Transfer Agreement pursuant to which the Company conditionally agreed to acquire and CEC conditionally agreed to sell the 100% equity interest in CEC Technology at a consideration of RMB600 million (equivalent to approximately HK$750 million). Incidental to the Acquisition, CEC Technology and CEC Finance will enter into the CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement pursuant to which, CEC Finance will provide a range of financial services to the Target Group and the Target Group will utilise such financial services on a non-exclusive basis.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, CEC, which was interested in approximately 71.30% of the issued share capital of the Company, was the ultimate controlling shareholder of the Company and hence a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Acquisition constitutes a connected transaction of the Company.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, CEC Finance, being a subsidiary of CEC, was also a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Upon Completion, the CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company.
As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios referred to in Chapters 14 and 14A of the Listing Rules for the Acquisition exceed 25% but all of which are less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major acquisition and connected transaction of the Company under Chapters 14 and 14A of the Listing Rules respectively and is subject to the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements.
The Company considers that the nature of the respective headings under the CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement are similar to the continuing connected transactions under the 2013-2016 Financial Services Agreement dated 7 May 2013 between the Company and CEC Finance, and the relevant annual caps of the transactions under the two agreements should be aggregated for the purpose of determining the classification of the continuing connected transaction and their compliance requirements. Taking into account the continuing connected transactions under the two agreements, one or more of the applicable aggregated percentage ratios referred to in Chapters 14 and 14A of the Listing Rules exceed 25% but all of which are less than 100%, and therefore the financial services to be provided under the CEC Technology Financial Service Agreement constitute a major transaction and continuing connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14 and 14A of the Listing Rules respectively and is subject to the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements.

(I) THE ACQUISITION
Principal factors and reasons considered
In formulating our recommendation, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons:
1. Background information
1.1 Information on the Group
The principal activities of the Group are the design, research and development and sale of integrated circuits.
Set out below is a summary of financial highlights of the Group for the two years ended 31 December 2011 and 2012 as extracted from the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2012 (the “2012 Annual Report”).

LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL
Revenue for the year ended 31 December 2012 amounted to approximately HK$1,156 million, representing an increase of approximately 16.1% over the previous year. Profit for the year ended 31 December 2012 amounted to approximately HK$198 million, representing an increase of approximately 72.3%. The turnover and profit growth was mainly attributable to the improvement in product mix in the Group’s telecommunications card chips business, increase in sales volume, and efforts to step up cost control.
As described in the 2012 Annual Report, the Group financed its operations primarily by internal resources and short term bank loans. As at 31 December 2012, the Group had cash and cash equivalents amounting to approximately HK$477 million and such cash had largely remained undeployed. As confirmed by the management of the Company, the Group’s aggregate undrawn committed borrowing facility had meanwhile amounted to approximately HK$421 million as at the Latest Practicable Date.
The gearing ratio of the Group (as calculated as the total liabilities over total assets of the Group) fell from approximately 42.4% as at 31 December 2011 to approximately 40.3% as at 31 December 2012 as the Group reduced its short term bank loans from approximately HK$24.7 million to approximately HK$1.2 million during the corresponding years. Other than short term bank loans, all other liabilities were related to trade and other payables.
As described in the 2012 Annual Report, the Group anticipated that with the continuing increase in investment in the banking, social security and Internet of Things sectors domestically, the overall market size of the PRC smart cards industry is expected to grow at a steady pace. Nevertheless, the Group expects market competition to further intensify due to factors such as increasing domestic economic difficulties and the slowing down in economic growth. Notwithstanding that the Group had shown year-on-year growth in profits, the above negative factors are expected to hinder the growth potential of the Group’s current card chips business. Facing such increasing market competition, the Group had been proactively responding to market changes, fine-tuning and optimising its product mix. The Group had also been seeking opportunities in expanding into new business coverage and extending its industry value chain. In line with the above strategy and in view of the favourable policies in relation to the development of electronic information technology industrial parks in the PRC as described in section 2.1 below, the Directors believe that it is an opportune time to propose the Acquisition with a view to extending and broadening the Group’s existing business into the area of electronic information technology industrial parks.

The Target Group generated revenue of approximately RMB14.3 million, RMB9.0 million and RMB1.0 million for the two years ended 31 December 2011 and 2012 and for the four months ended 30 April 2013 respectively. The above amounts of revenue are equivalent to approximately HK$17.9 million, HK$11.3 million and HK$1.3 million respectively. The Target Group’s revenue was mainly derived from sales of properties and land use rights and rental income of CEC Beihai. During the two years ended 31 December 2011 and 2012 and the four months ended 30 April 2013, save for one developed property sold in 2010, all properties developed were held for rental yields and there were no sales of properties. While most of the land use rights were developed by CEC Beihai itself, it also sold certain pieces of land use rights to third parties during the track record period, the continuing decrease in revenue from sales of land use rights was because more properties were developed by CEC Beihai itself. Rental income remained relatively stable during the two years ended 31 December 2011 and 2012 and the four months ended 30 April 2013.
The Target Group incurred cost of sales of approximately RMB8.1 million, RMB5.1 million and RMB0.1 million for the two years ended 31 December 2011 and 2012 and for the four months ended 30 April 2013 respectively. The above amounts of cost of sales are equivalent to approximately HK$10.1 million, HK$6.4 million and HK$0.1 million respectively. Cost of sales mainly comprised (i) cost of land use rights; (ii) construction costs of properties; and (iii) business tax and related surcharges. The fluctuation in cost of sales was mainly driven by the costs of properties sold and land use rights sold.

LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL
As a result of the revenue generation and cost of sales incurred, the Target Group recorded a loss of approximately RMB5.9 million (equivalent to approximately HK$7.4 million), a profit of approximately RMB62.6 million (equivalent to approximately HK$78.3 million) and a loss of approximately RMB10.1 million (equivalent to approximately HK$12.6 million) for the two year ended 31 December 2011 and 2012 and the four months ended 30 April 2013 respectively.
Total asset of the Target Group amounted to approximately RMB509.7 million (equivalent to approximately HK$637.1 million), RMB643.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$803.8 million) and RMB602.3 million (equivalent to approximately HK$752.9 million) as at 31 December 2011 and 2012 and as at 30 April 2013. The increase in assets reflects the Target Group’s investment in the Industrial Parks.
Total liabilities of the Target Group amounted to approximately RMB457.7 million (equivalent to approximately HK$572.1million), RMB534.5 million (equivalent to approximately HK$668.1 million) and RMB503.9 million (equivalent to approximately HK$629.9 million) as at 31 December 2011 and 2012 and as at 30 April 2013. Liabilities of the Target Group mainly comprised short term and long term bank borrowings as well as borrowings from CEC Finance. The increase in the amount of liabilities reflects the development needs of the Target Group as it mainly utilised loans to finance its development.
According to the management of the Company, the business of the Target Group is generally in a development phase and requires capital for its continuous development. As such, the Company expects that the capital needs of the Target Group in the near future will be satisfied mainly by the internal financial resources of the Group as well as borrowings by the Group, including borrowings from CEC Finance. Information on the continuing connected transactions under the CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement is disclosed under the paragraph headed “Major Transaction and Continuing Connected Transactions – CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement” in the “Letter from the Board” of the Circular. The Company intends and expects that the Target Group would be able to utilise other sources of funding and reduce reliance on CEC Finance for its financial needs as and when the Industrial Parks reach a more advanced stage of development.

As described in the “Letter from the Board” of the Circular, the Directors anticipate that subsequent to the Acquisition, the Company will step up its effort in developing the Target Group, and that such efforts will eventually realise income earning potential of the Target Group, which will in turn enhance the Group’s profitability and growth.
Furthermore, Mr. Xie Qinghua, Managing Director of the Company, has been one of the directors and the general manager of CEC Technology since 2007, and the chairman of the board of directors of CEC Technology since 2012. The Directors are of the view that based on Mr. Xie’s extensive experience in the electronic information technology industrial park industry and his management track record in the Target Group, the sustainability of the Target Group will be maintained in the future.
The senior management of the Target Group comprises Mr. Xie Qinghua, the chairman of the board of directors of CEC Technology, and two deputy general managers, an assistant to the general manager, as well as senior management of the Industrial Parks. The senior managers of the Target Group have a length of service of 3 to 9 years at the Target Group and will continue to serve the Target Group after the Acquisition. The Company considers that it will have all the required expertise and personnel in operating the Target Group.

4. The Equity Transfer Agreement
To assess the fair and reasonableness of the Acquisition, we have also considered the following key terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement:
4.1 The consideration
The consideration for the Acquisition shall be RMB600 million (equivalent to approximately HK$750 million), which has been agreed after arm’s length negotiation between the Company and CEC.
As described in the “Letter from the Board” of the Circular, the consideration was derived by taking the audited consolidated net asset value of the Target Group as at 30 April 2013, plus the difference between the market value and the carrying value of the property interests held by the Target Group attributable to CEC Technology as at 30 April 2013. We noted that the above in effect serves to calculate the net asset value of the Target Group, taking into account of the latest value of the properties in their existing state held by the Target Group attributable to CEC Technology. Net asset value is a commonly adopted approach for valuation of property businesses and companies, and because the Target Group as described in section 1.3 above are mainly asset based companies, we are of the view that this approach is fair and reasonable.
In respect of property appraisals, we have discussed with DTZ and noted that for property interests which are (i) held by the Target Group for sale in the PRC, the valuation has been prepared by a direct comparison approach by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant market; (ii) held by the Target Group for sale/investment in the PRC the valuation has been prepared by a direct comparison approach as mentioned above, or where appropriate, by a income approach by capitalising the rental income derived from the existing tenancies with due provision for the reversionary rental income potential of the properties; and (iii) held by the Target Group for development in the PRC, the valuation has been prepared by a direct comparison as mentioned above, or where appropriate, also taking into account of expended construction costs. We consider the methodologies and the underlying assumptions to be a commonly adopted approach and are justifiable. Further, we have also interviewed DTZ as to its expertise in property valuation and have also reviewed their engagement letter with the Company and are of the view that their scope of work is appropriate for the property valuation provided in relation to the Acquisition.

LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL
As described in the “Letter from the Board” of the Circular, the consideration of RMB600 million (equivalent to approximately HK$750 million) represents a discount of approximately 14% to the agreed value of the Relevant Equity Interest if the transfer of shareholding interest in CEC Xi’an held by 6th Research Institute and ChinaSoft to CEC Technology is taken into account. Under the arrangement, CEC Technology will pay a consideration of RMB18 million (equivalent to approximately HK$22.5 million) and RMB 36 million (equivalent to approximately HK$ 45.0 million) for the acquisition of the respective 12.99% and 25.97% equity interest in CEC Xi’an held by ChinaSoft and 6th Research Institute. However, as principles of merger accounting (as prescribed in Hong Kong Accounting Guideline 5 “Merger Accounting for Common Control Combinations” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants) has been applied in accounting for the proposed acquisition of the additional equity interest in CEC Xi’an from ChinaSoft and 6th Research Institute by CEC Technology, the aggregate consideration of RMB54 million (equivalent to approximately HK$67.5 million) is higher than the aggregate net asset value of CEC Xi’an attributable to ChinaSoft and 6th Research Institute to be acquired, this would reduce the Target Group’s net asset value, which in turn, will cause the consideration’s discount to the agreed value of the Relevant Equity Interest to decrease from approximately 16% to approximately 14%.
Please refer to section 4.3 below for the reasons and benefits of the acquisition of the shareholding interest in CEC Xi’an held by ChinaSoft and 6th Research Institute by CEC Technology.
We note that there may be future taxes attributable to CEC Technology (including business tax, land appreciation tax and income tax) that will potentially be payable upon the sale of properties of the Target Group. We understand that the amount of future tax effect would be based on potential profit from Target Group’s sales of properties held for sale after they have been fully developed with reference to (i) future sales prices; (ii) future development plan of the properties, where appropriate, agreed with any joint venture partners; and (iii) certain construction costs incurred for the development of the properties. As the majority of the properties held by the Target Group will be held for either rental or development purposes upon completion of development, and land appreciation tax is only levied on sales of land or property on the land, profitability of the Target Group would not be expected to be heavily impacted by such potential tax impact. The actual amount of tax payable may differ from the estimates for reasons of, inter alia, changes in government tax policies (including tax rates), development plan of the properties, the actual selling prices of the properties and the actual construction costs of the properties.
– 48 –
LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL
Based on the above, the Directors are of the view that it is essential to negotiate a discount on the consideration to the agreed value of the Relevant Equity Interest.
Based on (i) the understanding of the basis for the potential tax effect above, (ii) our view that net asset value approach is a fair and reasonable approach for valuing the Target Group; and (iii) having considered the risks relating to the business of the Target Group as described in the “Letter from the Board” of the Circular, and weighing such risks against the discount of the consideration to the Relevant Equity Interest, we concur with the Directors’ view that the consideration is fair and reasonable.
4.2 Payment terms
As described in the “Letter of the Board” of the Circular, the consideration of RMB600 million (equivalent to approximately HK$750 million) is payable in two installments:
-
(a) 60% of the consideration (i.e. RMB360 million, equivalent to approximately HK$450 million), payable within 5 business days of the date on which the Equity Transfer Agreement takes effect; and
-
(b) 40% of the consideration (i.e. RMB240 million, equivalent to approximately HK$300 million), payable within 6 months of the date on which the Equity Transfer Agreement takes effect, together with the interest calculated in accordance with the prevailing benchmark lending rate of RMB.
Based on (i) the Company’s cash and cash equivalent balance of approximately HK$476.6 million as at 31 December 2012; and (ii) the Group’s aggregate undrawn committed borrowing facility of approximately HK$421 million as at the Latest Practicable Date, we are of the view that the Group has the financial resources to settle the consideration.
In regards to the payment of the second installment of the consideration, which may be settled within 6 months of the Completion, the Directors are of the view that the Company may use the afforded extra time to organise alternative financing at potentially more favourable terms as compared to its current financing or the prevailing benchmark lending rate of RMB. In effect, this allows the Company flexibility with respect to payment timing and is favourable to the Company.
– 49 –
LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL
In regards to the interest payable under the second installment of the consideration, the Company’s PRC legal advisers confirm that the provision on the calculation of interest was made in accordance with applicable PRC regulations. In particular, where the consideration of a transfer of state-owned property rights is paid by installments, an interest shall be paid to the transferor on the outstanding amounts at the bank lending rate of the same period. We are of the view that the terms of the interest rate are fair and reasonable as it is in accordance with applicable PRC regulations.
In light of the Company’s financial resources and the opportunity for the Company to organise alternative finance at potentially more favourable terms as compared to its current financing or the prevailing benchmark lending rate of RMB applied to the second installment of the consideration, we are of the view that the payment terms are fair and reasonable to the Company.
4.3 Conditions precedent
Details of the conditions precedent to the Equity Transfer Agreement are set out in the “Letter to the Board” of the Circular. According to the announcement published by ChinaSoft on 15 August 2013, CEC Technology’s acquisition of 12.99% equity interest in CEC Xi’an from it has been completed.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, CEC is interested as to 100% equity interest in CEC Technology and 100% equity interest in 6th Research Institute . In turn, CEC Technology and 6th Research Institute are respectively interested in 40.26% and 25.97% equity interest of CEC Xi’an.
Pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreement, CEC shall also procure the transfer of the 25.97% equity interest in CEC Xi’an held by 6th Research Institute to CEC Technology before the Equity Transfer Agreement takes effect. Accordingly, CEC Technology will become interested in 66.23% equity interest in CEC Xi’an upon Completion and CEC Xi’an will become a subsidiary of CEC Technology. CEC Technology, and in turn the Company, will be able to consolidate the financial results, assets and liabilities of CEC Xi’an and also gain a controlling shareholding interest in CEC Xi’an.
We note that the abovementioned reorganisation will remove 6th Research Institute from the shareholding structure of CEC Xi’an, thus allowing the Company to acquire CEC Group’s consolidated interests in the Industrial Parks collectively through CEC Technology.

LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL
5. Possible financial effects of the Acquisition
Upon the Completion, the Company will directly hold 100% equity interest in CEC Technology which will become a subsidiary of the Company. The assets, liabilities and the financial results of CEC Technology and its subsidiaries will be consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company. As both the Company and CEC Technology are under common control of CEC, the Group has applied the principles of merger accounting[1] for the acquisition of the Target Group. Under merger accounting, assets and liabilities of the Target Group are combined using its existing book values, and in particular, it has not taken into account of the market value of the properties held for sales, owner-occupied and development by the Target Group.
5.1 Assets and liabilities
Set out below is a summary of the financial effect of the Acquisition on the assets and liabilities of the Group as shown in the “Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group” set out in Appendix IV of the Circular.
| Unaudited | ||
|---|---|---|
| pro forma | ||
| Consolidated | statement | |
| statement | of assets and | |
| of assets and | liabilities of | |
| liabilities of the | the Enlarged | |
| Company as at | Group as at | |
| 31 December | 31 December | |
| 2012 | 2012 | |
| HK$’000 | HK$’000 | |
| Total assets | 1,348,706 | 1,730,164 |
| Total liabilities | 542,904 | 1,548,886 |
As shown above, the total assets of the Group would increase less than the total liabilities as the market value of the property interest held by the Target Group for sales, owner-occupied and development as at 31 May 2013 could not be reflected, and the Group will have to settle the respective consideration of RMB600 million (equivalent to approximately HK$750 million) and RMB54 million (equivalent to approximately HK$67.5 million) for the Acquisition and the acquisition of the additional 38.96% equity interest in CEC Xi’an.
1 Hong Kong Accounting Guideline 5 “Merger Accounting for Common Control Combinations” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. In applying merger accounting, no amount is recognised in consideration for goodwill or excess of the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of common control combination, to the extent of the continuation of the controlling party’s interest.

LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL
5.2 Gearing ratio
As at 31 December 2012, the gearing ratio of the Group was approximately 40.3% (as calculated as the total liabilities over total assets of the Group). As shown in the “Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group” as set out in Appendix IV of the Circular, assuming 31 December 2012 as the date of the Completion, the pro forma total liabilities and total assets of the Enlarged Group will be approximately HK$1,548.9 million and HK$1,730.2 million respectively. Accordingly, the gearing ratio of the Enlarged Group will increase to approximately 8 9.5%.
The increase in the gearing ratio is consistent with the usual nature financing strategy and capital structure of property development companies. Initial development costs are typically financed by short term and long term bank borrowings. In the case of the Target Group, total borrowings accounted for approximately 61.8% of total liabilities as at 30 April 2013, as set out in “Accountant’s report of the Target Group” set out in Appendix IIIA of the Circular. After the development of properties are completed, sales or rental income would be generated, which the Target Group may use to pay down its borrowings. Furthermore, as explained in section 5.1 above, under the use of merger accounting, the total assets of the Enlarged Group would increase less than the total liabilities as the market value of the property interest held by the Target Group for sales, owner-occupied and development could not be reflected, thus contributing to the increase in the gearing ratio.
5.3 Cash flow
As shown in the “Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group” as set out in Appendix IV of the Circular, cash and cash equivalents of the Group would be reduced from approximately HK$476.6 million as at 31 December 2012 to approximately HK$60.8 million after payment of the first installment of the consideration for the Acquisition.
Notwithstanding the significant decrease in cash after the payment of the first instalment of the consideration, as confirmed by the management of the Company, the Group maintained a substantial amount of undrawn committed borrowing facility as at the Latest Practicable Date. Further, the Target Group also has access to (i) RMB400 million (equivalent to approximately HK$500 million) of borrowing facility under the CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement pursuant to Independent Shareholders’ approval at the SGM of the Company; and (ii) RMB400 million (equivalent to approximately HK$500 million) of unsecured loan facility from CEC Finance to CEC Technology.

LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL
Reference is made to the “Letter from the Board” of the Circular where the Directors are of the opinion that, after taking into account the internal resources and borrowing facilities available to the Enlarged Group, the Enlarged Group will have sufficient working capital for its present requirements for the next twelve months from the date of this Circular.
Based on the above, it is anticipated that the Company would have sufficient financial resources to fund its development for the Target Group upon Completion. Furthermore, it is anticipated that cash flow of the Target Group would improve when its properties are completed and sales and rental income are generated.
5.4 Earnings
The results of the Target Group will be consolidated in the consolidated financial statements of the Company upon the Completion.
Based on the possible financial effects of the Acquisition as described above, the reasons for the fluctuation of the results of the Target Group as explained in section 1 above, and the Company’s future costs for the development of the Industrial Parks as described in section 2 above, and with reference to the loss making status of the Target Group for the four months ended 30 April 2013 as described in section 1 above, the Acquisition may cause the Group’s financial performance to fluctuate in the short run. However, as already mentioned above, upon completion of the development stage of the properties, sales and rental income would be generated and profitability would be expected to improve. In particular, during the two years ended 31 December 2011 and 2012 and the four months ended 30 April 2013, the Target Group did not recognise revenue from sales of land use rights and properties until ownership certificates (in the case of land use rights) and properties have been delivered to the purchaser. Deposits and instalments received on such sales prior to revenue recognition are included in the Target Group’s balance sheet as advanced proceeds from customer under current liability. As at 31 December 2011 and 2012 and as at 30 April 2013, the balance of advanced proceeds from customers amounted to approximately RMB19.9 million, RMB15.2 million and RMB18.8 million respectively. The above amounts of advanced proceeds from customers are equivalent to approximately HK$24.9 million, HK$19.0 million and HK$23.5 million respectively.
Whilst there is immediate financial impact to the Group as illustrated above, Shareholders should however also take into account of (i) the ultimate realisation of the valuation gain from the properties held by the Target Group for sales, owner-occupied and development; and (ii) the long run growth and earnings potential of the Target Group.

6. Business delineation
6.1 Management independence
Other than Mr. Xie Qinghua, Managing Director of the Company, and one of the directors and the chairman of the board of directors of CEC Technology, the management of the Target Group will be independent from CEC upon Completion. We note that pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreement, CEC has undertaken that, up till Completion, it would not unreasonable increase or decrease the number of employees of the Target Group.
6.2 Operational independence
Other than the Property Management Agreement as disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 7 July 2013, the Target Group will operate independently from CEC upon Completion.
The senior management of the Target Group comprises Mr. Xie Qinghua, the chairman of the board of directors of CEC Technology, and two deputy general managers, an assistant to the general manager, as well as senior management of the Industrial Parks. The senior managers of the Target Group have a length of service of 3 to 9 years at the Target Group and will continue to serve the Target Group after the Acquisition. The Company considers that it will have all the required expertise and personnel in running the Target Group.
6.3 Financial independence
Other than (i) the Guarantee Arrangements as disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 7 July 2013; (ii) the CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement; and (iii) the RMB400 million of unsecured loan facilities from CEC Finance to CEC Technology, the Target Group will be financially independent from CEC upon Completion.

LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL
7. Reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition
Based on (i) the supportive PRC government policies in relation to development of electronic information technology industrial parks; (ii) the anticipated growth of electronic information technology industrial parks pursuant to such policies; (iii) the financial resources of the Company in relation to the Acquisition; (iv) the future income generation from the Industrial Parks after the completion of the development stage; (v) the operational independence and management expertise on electronic information technology industrial parks; and (vi) given that the Acquisition is in line with the Group’s strategy to seek opportunities in expanding into new business coverage and extend its industry value chain, we concur with the Directors’ view that by leveraging on its strong information technology expertise and client network, the Company will eventually realise the income earning potential of the Target Group, which will in turn enhance the quality of the assets held by the Group and thereby also enhancing the Group’s profitability and growth.
8. Plans for the existing business of the Group and going forward
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no immediate plans to dispose of its business or assets, and has not entered into any written agreements and/or memorandum of understanding with respect to the same. The Company will continuously monitor its business portfolio as well as the performance of its existing business and the Industrial Parks. If necessary, the Company will enter into transactions with a view to ensuring progressive return to its shareholders.
The Company made an announcement on 25 June 2013 on the Strategic Cooperation Framework Agreement in relation to the construction of Beibu Gulf Eco-Wisdom Electronics City. The said project is still under evaluation by the government authority and there has been no substantial update since the date of the announcement. Subject to decision by the Company, the Company may decide to use CEC Beihai as the vehicle in the Group’s development of this project.
9. Conclusion
In summary, we concur with the Directors that the introduction of the supportive policies for the development of electronic information technology industrial parks in the PRC will be advantageous to the Target Group, and the Acquisition will allow the Group to be in a position to capture opportunities in the electronic information technology sector. The Acquisition is a strategic business action, which is not in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company. Having considered the above principal factors and reasons, we are of the view that the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement are normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

(II) MAJOR TRANSACTION AND CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS – CEC TECHNOLOGY FINANCIAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
CEC Finance currently provides various financial services to the Target Group, which is expected to continue after the Acquisition. As CEC Technology will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company after the Completion, these financial services between CEC Finance and the Target Group will, upon the Completion, constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company.
Pursuant to the CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement, CEC Finance will provide a range of financial services to the Target Group (as further described in the “Letter from the Board” of the Circular) and the Target Group will utilise such financial services on a non-exclusive basis.
Principal factors and reasons considered
To assess the fairness and reasonableness of the terms of the CEC Technology Financial Service Agreement, we have considered the following.
1. Key terms of the CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement
Set out below are a summary of the key terms which we have considered. Details of the terms of the CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement are set out in the “Letter from the Board” of the Circular.
-
(i) All transactions contemplated under the CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement shall be undertaken on normal commercial terms or on terms no less favourable to the Target Group than terms available from other domestic commercial banks or financial institutions. In particular, the Target Group is neither obliged nor committed to carry out any transactions contemplated under the CEC Technology Financial Service Agreement if the terms, interest rates on deposits and financial assistance, the fees and commissions for the fee- and commission-based financial services are less favourable in comparison to those offered by other domestic commercial banks or financial institution.
-
(ii) Interest rates on deposits and financial assistance offered by CEC Finance to the Target Group will be determined with reference to, and shall be no less favourable than, the rates offered to the Target Group by other domestic commercial banks for comparable deposits or financial assistance.
– 56 –
LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL
-
(iii) The fees and commissions for the fee- and commission-based financial services provided by CEC Finance to the Target Group will be determined with reference to and shall not be higher than those charged by other domestic commercial banks or financial institutions for the same type of financial services. In particular, where available, the Target Group will refer to standard or reference rates promulgated by the PBOC prior to agreeing with CEC Finance on the pricing of the relevant financial services.
-
(iv) As described in the “Letter from the Board” of the Circular, with the exception of RMB and foreign currencies loans, the Target Group may be required to provide security for certain types of financial assistance to be provided by CEC Finance, which is considered to be a more favourable arrangement than domestic commercial banks and financial institutions.
For the deposit services, we have compared the interest rates on deposits of various terms offered by CEC Finance with the standard or reference rates promulgated by the PBOC and found the rates to be comparable. Regarding the provision of financial assistance, we have reviewed samples of financial assistance provided by CEC Finance with the standard or reference rates promulgated by the PBOC and found them to be comparable. As for the feesand commission-based financial services, we have reviewed samples of previous transactions and found the fees and commissions charged to be comparable to the standard or reference rates promulgated by the PBOC. In order to select a representative sample throughout the three years ended 31 December 2012 and four months ended 30 April 2013, samples were randomly selected from transactions undertaken during each half-year intervals of the three years ended 31 December 2012 and from the four month ended 30 April 2013.
Taking into account the aforesaid factors, we consider the transactions contemplated under the CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement to be on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.
2. Reasons for and benefits of the CEC Technology Financial Service Agreement
We understand that CEC Finance has been providing various financial services to the Target Group prior to the Acquisition. As such, it is commercially reasonable and beneficial to continue with such arrangement since it will maintain stability in the financial operation of the Target Group.
– 57 –
LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL
Moreover, as a regulated financial institution, CEC Finance is required to comply with all rules and operational requirements of the regulatory authorities, namely the PBOC and the CBRC. In addition, CEC Finance has been providing a range of financial services to the Target Group. As such, the continued utilisation of the financial services provided by CEC Finance would not expose the Target Group to additional financial risk as compared to the Target Group utilising financial services provided by similar financial institutions that are governed by the same rule and operational requirements of the PBOC and the CBRC.
The Target Group is also expected to continue to benefit from CEC Finance’s better understanding of the operations of the Target Group which allows expedient and efficient service provision. The Target Group also expects that as an intra-group service provider, CEC Finance should have a better and more efficient communication with the Target Group compared with other domestic commercial banks or financial institutions. Further, the CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement will continue to provide the Target Group with the right and flexibility to secure additional source of financing and services at reasonable cost as and when required.
In view of the above and that (i) the transactions contemplated under the CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement will continue to be conducted on normal commercial terms or on terms no less favourable to the Target Group than terms available from other domestic commercial banks or financial institutions; and (ii) the transactions contemplated under the CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement are undertaken in the ordinary and usual course of the Target Group’s business given the principal businesses of CEC Finance, we concur with the Directors that the entering of the CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

(ii) Proposed caps
The Target Group proposes to adopt the following annual caps for transactions to be entered into pursuant to the CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement for each of the three years ending 31 December 2015 and six months ending 30 June 2016:
| Type of transaction | Proposed transaction amounts | Proposed transaction amounts | ||

| Provision of fee- and commission- | ||||

| CEC Finance to the Target Group | 750 | 750 | 750 | 750 |
Notes:
-
The amount represents the maximum daily balance of deposits (together with the interests accrued therein) maintained by the Target Group with CEC Finance during the relevant year/period.
-
The amount represents the maximum daily balance of financial assistance provided by CEC Finance to the Target Group during the relevant year/period.
As disclosed in the “Letter from the Board” in this Circular, the maximum daily balance of deposit was arrived at taking into consideration of the annual caps relating to the provision of financial assistance by CEC Finance to the Target Group. In particular, as part of its treasury policy, CEC is prepared to provide annual financial assistance of the above amounts to the Target Group through CEC Finance. The proposed annual caps are determined with reference to the possible capital and operational needs of the Target Group, which the Company and CEC Technology understand to be the limit proposed by CEC Finance based on their internal assessment on the maximum amount of unsecured and secured financial assistance which they may provide to the Target Group. In return for the financial assistance provided by CEC Finance, the Group has offered to maintain an amount of deposit with CEC Finance. Such amount is proposed to be up to a maximum daily balance of
– 60 –
LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL
deposit at the equivalent amount of the limit for the financial assistance that could be provided. We have discussed with the management of the Company to understand the commercial rationale of this arrangement.
The proposed caps for the years ending 31 December 2013, 2014 and 2015 and the six months ending 30 June 2016 are set to reflect the possible working capital position and financial needs of the Target Group, which may vary at different development stages of the respective industrial parks. In particular, we have reviewed and noted that there already exists a borrowing of the amount HK$281.2 million (equivalent to approximately RMB225.0 million) from CEC Finance to the Target Group as at 30 June 2013. Moreover, there is also a funding requirement in respect of the consideration of RMB 36 million relating to the proposed acquisition of the additional equity interest in CEC Xi’an from 6th Research Institute by CEC Technology. In this regard, we have reviewed (i) CEC Finance’s confirmation of the amount of borrowing provided to the Target Group as at 30 June 2013; (ii) the Equity Transfer Agreement in respect of CEC Technology’s obligation to acquire the additional equity interest in CEC Xi’an from ChinaSoft and 6th Research Institute; and (iii) the respective development plans of the CEC Beihai Industrial Park, Hainan Resort Software Community and CEC Xi’an Industrial Park.
In addition, we consider that it is commercially reasonable for the Target Group to maximise its financial flexibility by accepting the highest limit of financial assistance offered by CEC Finance. Since the Industry Parks will be at a more advanced stage of development by 2015, it is intended and expected that the Target Group will be able to utilise other sources of funding and reduce its reliance on CEC Finance for its financial needs. As such, the proposed cap for the year ending 31 December 2015 is set at RMB200 million, whilst those for the years ending 31 December 2013 and 2014 are set at RMB400 million, and the proposed cap for the six months ending 30 June 2016 is set at RMB230 million.
In view of the above and that the Target Group is neither obliged nor committed to carry out any transactions contemplated under the CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement if the terms, interest rates on deposits and financial assistance are less favourable in comparison to those offered by other domestic commercial banks or financial institutions, we consider the aforementioned proposed caps to be reasonable.
In arriving at the above caps for the fees and commissions payable for the provision of fee- and commission-based financial services by CEC Finance, the Company and CEC Technology have made reference to the possible demand of the fee- and commission-based financial services provided by CEC Finance to the Target Group and the fees and commissions payable for such services.

LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL
Based on the above, we are of the view that the proposed caps with regard to the transactions contemplated under the CEC Technology Financial Services Agreement for each of the three years ending 31 December 2015 and the six months ending 30 June 2016 are fair and reasonable.
4. Continuing connected transactions requirements under the listing rules

APPENDIX I
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE TARGET GROUP
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial information of the Target Group for the three years ended 31 December 2012 and the four months ended 30 April 2013 and of CEC Xi’an for the period from 12 November 2010 (date of establishment) to 31 December 2010 and the two years ended 31 December 2012 and the four months ended 30 April 2013, as set out in the Appendices IIIA and IIIB of this circular respectively.
Business and financial overview
The principal business activity of CEC Technology is investment holding. As at 30 April 2013, it holds 100% equity interest in CEC Beihai, 40% equity interest in Hainan RSC and 27.27% equity interest in CEC Xi’an, respectively. Upon the Completion, CEC Technology will hold 100% equity interest in CEC Beihai, 40% equity interest in Hainan RSC and 66.23% equity interest in CEC Xi’an, respectively. During the period under review, each of Hainan RSC and CEC Xi’an was accounted for as an associate of CEC Technology.
The principal business activities of CEC Beihai, Hainan RSC and CEC Xi’an have been the development and management of electronic information technology industrial parks in the PRC.
Revenue
The Target Group
The Target Group generated revenues of RMB34.2 million, RMB14.3 million, RMB9.0 million and RMB1.0 million for the years ended 31 December 2010, 2011, 2012 and for the four months ended 30 April 2013 respectively. The Target Group’s revenue was mainly derived from sales of properties and land use rights, and rental income of CEC Beihai. Except for one developed property sold in 2010, all properties developed were held for rental yields during the period under review and there were no sales of developed properties in 2011 and 2012 and the four months ended 30 April 2013. While most of the land use rights were developed by CEC Beihai itself, it also sold the land use rights of certain plots of land to third parties during the period under review, the continuing decrease in revenue from sales of land use rights reflected CEC Beihai’s focus on developing properties on its land instead of selling land before development. Rental income remained relatively stable during the period under review.
I – 1
APPENDIX I
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE TARGET GROUP
Sales of land use rights – Sales of land use rights mainly comprises the revenues from the sale of certain land use rights of land owned by the CEC Beihai. Land use rights in respect of 110 mu, 80 mu and 43 mu of land were sold in the years ended 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively; which generated a revenue of RMB15.0 million, RMB10.9 million and RMB5.9 million for the years ended 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively.
Rental income – CEC Technology and CEC Beihai hold certain office units which are leased out with terms ranging from 1 to 20 years . While rent-free periods are applicable to these tenancy agreements, rental income is recognised over the terms of the lease on a straight-line basis. Rental income for years ended 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 and for the four months ended 30 April 2013 were relatively stable at RMB2.7 million, RMB3.4 million, RMB3.1 million and RMB1.0 million, respectively.
Sales of properties – In 2010, CEC Beihai sold a property to a third party which generated a revenue of RMB16.5 million.
Cost of sales
The Target Group
The Target Group incurred cost of sales of RMB38.5 million, RMB8.1 million, RMB5.1 million and RMB0.1 million for the years ended 31 December 2010, 2011, 2012 and for the four months ended 30 April 2013 respectively. Cost of sales mainly comprises (i) cost of land use rights ; (ii) construction costs of properties ; and (iii) business tax and related surcharges. The fluctuation in cost of sales was mainly driven by the costs of properties sold and land use rights sold.
Gross (loss)/profit
As a result of the above, the Target Group recorded a gross loss of RMB4.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2010, and a gross profit of RMB6.2 million, RMB4.0 million and RMB0.8 million for the years ended 31 December 2011, 2012 and for the four months ended 30 April 2013. In 2010, CEC Beihai sold certain factory building to a third party at a gross loss of approximately RMB8.8 million, and the said sale was the main reason for the gross loss of RMB4.3 million of the Target Group recorded for the year ended 31 December 2010. The decrease in the gross profit for the year ended 31 December 2012 and the four months ended 30 April 2013 as compared to the year ended 31 December 2011 was largely due to a decrease in the revenue derived from the sale of land use rights from 2012 onwards.

I – 4
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX I
The increasing trends in the non-current assets of the Target Group since 2010 were due to (i) increases in the fair value of the investment properties; and (ii) increases in the carrying value of the Target Group’s interest in an associate, Hainan RSC, as it commenced sales of properties in 2011.
Current assets
Current assets of the Target Group were RMB80.7 million, RMB91.5 million, RMB202.1 million and RMB149.8 million as at 31 December 2010, 2011, 2012 and 30 April 2013 respectively. Current assets of the Target Group comprise mainly of (i) trade and other receivables; (ii) cash and cash equivalents; and (iii) assets held for sale .
Current assets of the Target Group increased 13.4% from RMB80.7 million as of 31 December 2010 to RMB91.5 million as of 31 December 2011. The increase was mainly due to payment for land use right installment payment of RMB12.5 million out of proceeds from borrowings.
Current assets of the Target Group increased 120.9% from RMB91.5 million as of 31 December 2011 to RMB202.1 million as of 31 December 2012. The increase was mainly due to (i) a loan of RMB23.0 million made to the other shareholder of Guangxi Future Land; (ii) an increase in assets held for sale of RMB45. 7 million, which represents the value of the 50% equity interest in Guangxi Future Land which CEC Technology resolved in 2012 to dispose of; (iii) increase in cash and cash equivalents of RMB23.2 million; and (iv) dividend of RMB16.0 million receivable from Hainan RSC, an associate of the Target Group.
Current assets of the Target Group decreased 25.9% from RMB202.1 million as of 31 December 2012 to RMB149.8 million as of 30 April 2013. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in cash and cash equivalents of RMB48.2 million which was mainly attributable to payment of construction costs, salaries and payments for investment properties.
During the period under review, the assets of CEC Xi’an comprises mainly of (i) cash and cash equivalents ; (ii) properties under development; and (iii) other receivables and prepayments. Properties under development comprises mainly of construction costs and costs of land use rights, less government grant received by CEC Xi’an. Other receivables and prepayments comprise mainly of prepayments for land use rights and amounts due from CEC Beihai and Guangxi Future Land.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX I
Capital commitments and contingent liabilities
As at 30 April 2013, the Target Group had no material capital commitments for the acquisition of fixed assets and intangible assets and contingent liabilities.
Foreign exchange exposure
The operation of the Target Group is principally in the PRC and the principal assets and liabilities of Target Group are denominated in Renminbi. As such, the Target Group considered that it did not have any material exposure to fluctuations in exchange rate and hence no hedging measures were taken.
Acquisition and disposal
There were no material acquisitions and disposals of subsidiar y, jointly controlled entity and associated company by the Target Group during the years ended 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 and four months ended 30 April 2013.
Outlook
Apart from the location that the subsidiaries and the associates of the Target Group, namely CEC Beihai, Hainan RSC and CEC Xi’an from which they are offered with convenient transportation and affluent economic resources, the favorable policies that are being rolled out to support the industry as well as the comprehensive supporting facilities within the industrial parks will also be catalysts for sustainable development.
To make good use of the opportunities and facilities that are being presented to the Target Group, it is planned that the Target Group will be developed under a four-pronged strategy: firstly, to enhance the image of the Target Group through comprehensive marketing measures; secondly, to focus on the technology industry and to step up infrastructure construction for industrial parks with a view to further promoting the coordination between the industrial parks and the neighbouring cities; thirdly, to develop a product chain through the utili sation of the strengths in terms of the brand, management expertise and industry reputation of CEC; and fourthly, to attract investment on an ongoing basis from leading enterprises with a view to bringing in interrelated resources which would in turn result in resources concentration.
With the opportunities that are presented to the Target Group and the strategies that are to be adopted as well as the support to be provided by CEC, the Board is confident that the Industrial Parks would eventually be transformed into fully-functional industrial cities which would ensure the sustainable growth for the Target Group.

The Directors
China Electronics Corporation Holdings Company Limited
Dear Sirs,
We report on the financial information (the “Financial Information”) of China Electronics Technology Development Company Limited ( 中國電子科技開發有限公司,“Target”) and its subsidiaries (together, the “Target Group”), which comprises the consolidated and company balance sheets of the Target as at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 and 30 April 2013, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and the consolidated statements of cash flows of the Target for each of the years ended 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 and the four months ended 30 April 2013 (the “Relevant Periods”) and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. The Financial Information has been prepared by the directors of China Electronics Corporation Holdings Company Limited (the “Company”) and is set out in Sections I to III below for inclusion in Appendix IIIA to the circular of the Company dated 2 8 August 2013 (the “Circular”) in connection with the proposed acquisition of the Target by the Company (the “Acquisition”).
The Target was incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) on 9 April 1988 as a company with limited liability under the Companies Law of the PRC.
As at the date of this report, the Target has direct and indirect interests in the subsidiaries, a jointly controlled entity and associates as set out in Notes 9, 10 and 11 of Section II below.
IIIA – 1
APPENDIX IIIA
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
The directors of the Target for the Relevant Periods are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Target that give a true and fair view in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”) (the “Underlying Financial Statements”), and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the Underlying Financial Statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. We have audited the Underlying Financial Statements in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing (the “HKSA”) issued by the HKICPA pursuant to separate terms of engagement.
The Financial Information has been prepared based on the Underlying Financial Statements, with no adjustment made thereon.
DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with HKFRSs and accounting policies adopted by the Company and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) as set out in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2012.
REPORTING ACCOUNTANT’S RESPONSIBILITY
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Financial Information and to report our opinion to you. We carried out our procedures in accordance with the Auditing Guideline 3.340 “Prospectuses and the Reporting Accountant” issued by the HKICPA.
OPINION
In our opinion, the Financial Information gives, for the purpose of this report, a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Target and of the Target Group as at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 and 30 April 2013 and of the Target Group’s results and cash flows for the Relevant Periods then ended.
REVIEW OF STUB PERIOD COMPARATIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
We have reviewed the stub period comparative financial information set out in Sections I to II below included in Appendix IIIA to the circular which comprises the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows of the Target for the four months ended 3 0 April 2012 and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (the “Stub Period Comparative Financial Information”).

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX IIIA
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 2 of Section II below and the accounting policies adopted by the Group as set out in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2012.
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the HKICPA, which applies to a review of historical financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity. A review of Stub Period Comparative Financial Information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information, for the purpose of this report, is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 2 of Section II below.

IIIA – 13
APPENDIX IIIA
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
The preparation of Financial Information in conformity with the HKFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Target’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Financial Information are disclosed in Note 4 below.
- (a) New and amendment to standards and interpretations
All new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations, which are mandatory for the financial year beginning 1 January 2013, are consistently applied to the Target Group for the Relevant Periods.
The following new standards and amendments to standards have been issued but are not effective for the financial year beginning 1 January 2013 and have not been early adopted by the Target Group.
-
Amendment to HKAS 32 “Financial instruments: Presentation” on asset and liability offsetting, these amendments are made to the application guidance in HKAS 32, “Financial instruments: Presentation”, and clarify some of the requirements for offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities on the balance sheet. This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.
-
Amendments to HKFRS 10, HKFRS 12 and HKAS 27, “Investment entities”, provide an exception to the consolidation requirements in HKFRS 10 and require investment entities to measure particular subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss, rather than consolidate them. The amendments also set out disclosure requirements for investment entities. The amendments are effective from 1 January 2014 with early adoption permitted in order to allow investment entities to apply the amendments at the same time they first apply the rest of HKFRS 10.

APPENDIX IIIA
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
-
HKFRS 9, “Financial instruments”, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. HKFRS 9 was issued in November 2009 and October 2010. It replaces the parts of HKAS 39 that relate to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. HKFRS 9 requires financial assets to be classified into two measurement categories: those measured as at fair value and those measured at amortised cost. The determination is made at initial recognition. The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument. For financial liabilities, the standard retains most of the HKAS 39 requirements. The main change is that, in cases where the fair value option is taken for financial liabilities, the part of a fair value change due to an entity’s own credit risk is recorded in other comprehensive income rather than the income statement, unless this creates an accounting mismatch. This new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

Amendments to HKFRS 9 and HKFRS 7, Mandatory Effective Date and Transition Disclosures, which amends the effective date of HKFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015 and also modifies the relief from restating comparative periods and the associated disclosures in HKFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”.
The Target Group is in the process of making an assessment of the impact of the above standards and amendments to standards on the financial statements of The Target Group in their initial applications.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
(b) Going concern basis
As at 30 April 2013, the Target Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately RMB 247,551,000. The Target Group’s current liabilities mainly included borrowings, trade and other payables and income tax payables. Based on the Target Group’s history of obtaining financing, its operating performance, the unsecured loan facilities amounting to RMB 400 million from China Electronics Financial Co., Ltd. (“CEC Finance”), a subsidiary of CEC, its working capital forecast and financial obligations in the next twelve months, the directors of the Target consider that there are sufficient resources available to the Target Group to meet the liabilities as and when they fall due to and carry on its business in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the directors of the Target have prepared the Financial Information on a going concern basis.
2.2 Subsidiaries
2.2.1 Consolidation
Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Target Group has control. The Target Group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Target Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
The Target Group uses the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Target Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Target Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets.
IIIA – 16
APPENDIX IIIA
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognised and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Target Group.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognised in profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Target Group is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognised either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
2.2.2 Separate financial statements
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment. Cost also includes direct attributable costs of investment. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Target on the basis of dividend received and receivable.
Impairment testing of the investments in subsidiaries is required upon receiving dividends from these investments if the dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of the subsidiary in the period the dividend is declared or if the carrying amount of the investment in the separate financial statements exceeds the carrying amount in the consolidated financial statements of the investee’s net assets including goodwill.
IIIA – 17
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX IIIA
2.3 Associates and jointly controlled entities
Associates are all entities over which the Target Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. A jointly controlled entity is an entity which there is a contractual arrangement whereby the Target Group and other parties undertake an economic activity which is subject to joint control and none of the participating parties has unilateral control over the economic activity. Investments in associates and jointly controlled entities are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognised at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the investor’s share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. The Target Group’s investments in associates and jointly controlled entities include goodwill identified on acquisition.
The Target Group’s share of its associates and jointly controlled entities’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment. When the Target Group’s share of loss in associates and jointly controlled entities equals or exceeds its interests in the associates and jointly controlled entities, including any other unsecured receivables, the Target Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associates and jointly controlled entities.
The Target Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associates and jointly controlled entities is impaired. If this is the case, the Target Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associates and jointly controlled entities and its carrying value and recognises the amount adjacent to “share of profit/(loss) of associates” and “share of profit/(loss) of jointly controlled entities” in profit or loss.
Profits and losses resulting from upstream and downstream transactions between the Target Group and its associates and jointly controlled entities are recognised in the Target Group’s financial statements only to the extent of unrelated investor’s interests in the associates and jointly controlled entities. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates and jointly controlled entities have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Target Group.

2.4 Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the board of directors that makes strategic decisions.
2.5 Foreign currency translation
(a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Target Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Target operates (the “functional currency”). The Financial Information is presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is the Target’s functional currency and the Target Group’s presentation currency.
(b) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at yearend exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
2.6 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation and any impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Target Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are expensed in profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
IIIA – 19
APPENDIX IIIA ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straightline method to allocate their cost less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
| Buildings | 20 years |
|---|---|
| Motor vehicles | 5-10 years |
| Office equipment and others | 5-10 years |
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (Note 2.8).
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised within “other gains/(losses) – net” in the consolidation statements of comprehensive income.
Construction in progress represents the direct costs of construction incurred in property less any impairment losses. No provision for depreciation is made on construction in progress until such time that the relevant assets are completed and available for use. Construction in progress is reclassified to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for use.
2.7 Investment properties
Investment property, principally comprising leasehold land and buildings, is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the Target Group. It also includes properties that are being constructed or developed for future use as investment properties. Land held under operating leases are accounted for as investment properties when the rest of the definition of an investment property is met. In such cases, the operating leases concerned are accounted for as if they were finance leases.
Investment property is initially measured at cost, including related transaction costs and where applicable borrowing costs.
IIIA – 20
APPENDIX IIIA
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
After initial recognition, investment properties are carried at fair value, representing open market value determined at each reporting date by external valuers. Fair value is based on active market prices, adjusted, if necessary, for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. If this information is not available, the Target Group uses alternative valuation methods such as recent prices on less active markets or discounted cash flow projections. Investment property that is being redeveloped for continuing use as investment property or for which the market has become less active continues to be measured at fair value.
The fair value of investment property reflects, among other things, rental income from current leases and assumptions about rental income from future leases in light of current market conditions. The fair value also reflects, on a similar basis, any cash outflows that could be expected in respect of the property.
Subsequent expenditure is charged to the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Target Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed in profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Changes in fair values are recognised in profit or loss as part of a valuation gain or loss in “other gains/(losses) – net”.
If an investment property becomes owner-occupied, it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment, and its fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for accounting purposes. Property that is under construction or development for future use as investment property is classified as investment property under construction. Where fair value of investment properties under construction is not reliably measurable, the property is measured at cost until the earlier of the date construction is completed or the date at which fair value becomes reliably measurable.
If an item of property, plant and equipment becomes an investment property because its use has changed, any difference resulting between the carrying amount and the fair value of this item at the date of transfer is recognised as a revaluation. The resulting increase in the carrying amount is recognised in other comprehensive income and increases revaluation surplus within equity. However, if a fair value gain reverses a previous impairment loss, the gain is recognised in the income statement, and the remaining part of the increase is recognised in other comprehensive income and increases revaluation surplus within equity.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX IIIA
2.8 Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered from impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
2.9 Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held-for-sale and discontinued operations
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale when their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction and a sale is considered highly probable. The non-current assets (except for certain assets as explained below), (or disposal groups), are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits, financial assets (other than investments in subsidiaries and associates) and investment properties, even if held for sale, would continue to be measured in accordance with the policies set out elsewhere in Note 2.
A discontinued operation is a component of the Target Group’s business, the operations and cash flows of which can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Target Group and which represents a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations, or is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
When an operation is classified as discontinued, a single amount is presented in the income statement, which comprises the post-tax profit or loss of the discontinued operation and the post-tax gain or loss recognised on the measurement to fair value less costs to sell, or on the disposal, of the assets or disposal group(s) constituting the discontinued operation.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX IIIA
2.10 Financial assets
(a) Classification
The Target Group classifies its financial assets as loans and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date which are classified as non-current assets. The Target Group’s loans and receivables comprise “trade and other receivables” and “cash and cash equivalents” in the consolidated balance sheets.
(b) Recognition and measurement
Regular purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade-date – the date on which the Target Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Target Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.11 Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts are contracts that require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due, in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Such financial guarantees are given to banks, financial institutions and other bodies on behalf of related parties to secure loans, overdrafts and other banking facilities.
IIIA – 23
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX IIIA
Financial guarantees are initially recognised in the financial statements at fair value on the date the guarantee was given. No receivable for the future premiums is recognised. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Target Group’s liabilities under such guarantees are measured at the higher of the initial amount, less amortisation of fees recognised in accordance with HKAS 18 “Revenue”, and the best estimate of the amount required to settle the guarantee. These estimates are determined based on experience of similar transactions and history of past losses, supplemented by management’s judgement. Any increase in the liability relating to guarantees is reported in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income within “other gains/ losses – net”.
Financial guarantee liabilities are derecognised from the consolidated balance sheets when, and only when, the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expired.
Where guarantees in relation to loans or other payables of subsidiaries or associates are provided for no compensation, the fair values are accounted for as contributions and recognised as part of the cost of the investment in the financial statements of the Target.
2.1 2 Impairment of financial assets carried at amortised cost
The Target Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a “loss event”) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation, and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
IIIA – 24
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX IIIA
The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The asset’s carrying amount is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Target Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
2.1 3 Land use rights
The Target Group made upfront payments to obtain operating leases of land use rights. If the land use rights are held for sale, the upfront payments are recorded as land use right held for sale. Land use rights held for sale are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is determined by reference to the sale proceeds of land use rights sold in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses, or by management based on prevailing marketing conditions. If the land use rights are held by the Target Group for self-use, the upfront payments are recorded as a separate asset and are amortised to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over their lease periods.
2.1 4 Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for properties sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection of trade and other receivables is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.
IIIA – 25
APPENDIX IIIA ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
2.1 5 Cash and cash equivalents
In the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand and at banks, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
2.1 6 Paid-in capital
Paid-in capital is classified as equity.
2.1 7 Trade payables
Trade payables are obligations to pay for services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.1 8 Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Target Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.
2.1 9 Borrowings costs
General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
IIIA – 26
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX IIIA
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
2. 20 Current and deferred taxation
The taxation expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
(a) Current income tax
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Target Group and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
(b) Deferred tax
(i) Inside basis differences
Deferred tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the Financial Information. However, the deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is determined using the tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.
IIIA – 27
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX IIIA
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
(ii) Outside basis differences
Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled by the Target Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
(c) Offsetting
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
2.2 1 Employee benefits
The Target Group participates in employee benefit plans, including pension, medical and other welfare benefits, organised by the government authorities in accordance with relevant regulations. Except for the above social security benefits, the Target Group has no other material commitment to other employee welfare benefits. According to the relevant regulations, premium and welfare benefit contributions are remitted to the social welfare authorities and are calculated based on percentages of the total salary of employees, subject to certain ceiling. Contributions to the plans are expensed as incurred.
IIIA – 28
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX IIIA
2.2 2 Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable in the ordinary course of the Target Group’s activities. Revenue is shown net of discounts. Revenue is recognised as follows:
(a) Sales of land use rights
Revenue from sales of land use rights is recognised when the risks and rewards of land use rights are transferred to the purchasers, which is when the ownership certificates of land use rights have been transferred to the purchasers and collectability of related receivables is reasonably assured. Deposits and instalments received on land use rights sold prior to the date of revenue recognition are included in the consolidated balance sheets as advanced proceeds from customers under current liabilities.
(b) Sales of properties
Revenue from sales of properties is recognised when the risks and rewards of properties are transferred to the purchasers, which is when the construction of relevant properties has been completed and the properties have been delivered to the purchasers and collectability of related receivables is reasonably assured. Deposits and instalments received on properties sold prior to the date of revenue recognition are included in the consolidated balance sheets as advanced proceeds from customers under current liabilities.
(c) Rental income
Rental income from properties letting under operating leases is recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
(d) Rendering of consulting services
Revenue from rendering of consulting services is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. It is recognised within “other income” in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
IIIA – 29
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX IIIA
2.2 3 Interest income
Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion using the effective interest method. When a loan and receivable is impaired, The Target Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loans and receivables are recognised using the original effective interest rate.
2.2 4 Government grants
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Target Group will comply with all attached conditions.
Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.
Government grants relating to land use rights held for self-use, land use rights held for sale, properties under development, property, plant and equipment and investment properties are deducted from their respective carrying amounts.
2.2 5 Leases
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases.
-
(a) The Target Group is the lessee – Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
-
(b) The Target Group is the lessor – When assets are leased out under an operating lease, the assets are included in the balance sheet based on the nature of the assets. Lease income is recognised over the term of the lease on a straight-line basis.
2.2 6 Dividend distribution
Dividend distribution to the Target’s owner is recognised as a liability in the Target Group and the Target’s financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Target’s owner or directors, where appropriate.

APPENDIX IIIA ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
3. Financial risk management
3.1 Financial risk factors
The Target Group conducts its operations in the PRC and its activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (mainly interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Target Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Target Group’s financial performance.
(a) Market risk
- (i) Cash flow interest rate risk
Other than deposits held in banks, the Target Group does not have significant interest-bearing assets. Fluctuation of market rates does not have a significant impact to the Target Group’s performance.
The Target Group’s exposure to changes in interest rates is mainly attributable to its borrowings which are at floating rates, and expose the Target Group to cash flow interest rate risk. As at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 and 30 April 2013, if interest rates on borrowings had been 50 base points higher or lower with all variables held constant, post-tax profit of the Target Group for each of the years ended 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 and the four months ended 30 April 2013 would have been approximately RMB1,463,000, RMB1,506,000, RMB1,538,000 and RMB451,000 lower or higher, respectively, as a result of higher or lower interest expense on floating rate borrowings.
The Target’s exposure to changes in interest rates is mainly attributable to its borrowings which are at floating rates, and expose the Target to cash flow interest rate risk. As at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 and 30 April 2013, if interest rates on borrowings had been 50 base points higher or lower with all variables held constant, post-tax profit of the Target for each of the years ended 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 and the four months ended 30 April 2013 would have been approximately RMB717,000, RMB705,000, RMB838,000 and RMB267,000 lower or higher, respectively, as a result of higher or lower interest expense on floating rate borrowings.
IIIA – 31
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX IIIA
(b) Credit risk
The credit risk of the Target Group mainly arises from cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The carrying amounts of these balances represent the Target Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to these financial assets.
As at the balance sheet dates, all the Target Group’s deposits are mainly placed in state-owned financial institutions in the PRC. The directors of the Target believes these financial institutions are of high credit quality and do not expect any losses arising from non-performance by these counterparties.
For trade and other receivables, the credit quality of the counterparties is assessed by taking into account their financial position, credit history and other factors. Individual credit limits are set based on the assessment of the credit quality. Based on the repayment history and the results of assessment of the credit quality of the counterparties, the directors of the Target are of the opinion that the risk of default by these counterparties is not significant.
(c) Liquidity risk
The Target Group’s objective is to maintain sufficient cash and sources of funding through committed credit facility and maintain flexibility in funding by maintaining committed credit lines. To manage the liquidity risk, management monitors rolling forecasts of the Target Group’s liquidity reserve and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flow. The Target Group expected to fund the future cash flow needs through internally generated cash flows from operations and committed credit facility.

APPENDIX IIIA ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
3.2 Capital risk management
The Target Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Target’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for its owner and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
The Target Group monitors capital risk by regularly reviewing the capital structure. As a part of this review, the directors of the Target consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with the paid-in capital. To manage capital risk, the Target Group may seek additional funding from the owner, adjust the amount of dividends paid to its owner or return capital to its owner.
4. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Estimates and judgements used in preparing the Financial Information are continually evaluated and based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Target Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
(a) Income taxes and deferred taxation
Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such difference will impact the income tax and deferred tax provision in the period in which such determination is made.
Deferred tax assets relating to certain temporary differences and tax losses are recognised when management considers probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences or tax losses can be utilised. The outcome of their actual utilisation may be different.
IIIA – 35
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX IIIA
(b) Principal assumptions underlying management’s estimation of fair value of investment properties
The fair value of investment properties are assessed annually by an independent professional valuer. The valuation is performed using income approach based on the terms of any existing leases and other external evidence such as current market rents or sales for similar types of properties in the locality, and using capitalisation rates that reflect current market expectation for the assets being valued.
(c) Estimated impairment of receivables
The Target Group makes provision for impairment of receivables based on an assessment of the recoverability of the receivables. Provisions are applied to receivables where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the balances may not be collectible. The identification of impairment of receivables requires the use of judgements and estimates. Where the expectations are different from the original estimates, such differences will impact the carrying value of receivables and impairment of receivables in the years in which such estimates have been changed.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF CEC XI’AN
The directors of CEC Xi’an for the Relevant Periods are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements of CEC Xi’an that give a true and fair view in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”) (the “Underlying Financial Statements”), and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the Underlying Financial Statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. We have audited the Underlying Financial Statements in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing (the “HKSA”) issued by the HKICPA pursuant to separate terms of engagement.
The Financial Information has been prepared based on the Underlying Financial Statements, with no adjustment made thereon.
DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with HKFRSs and accounting policies adopted by the Company and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) as set out in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2012.

In our opinion, the Financial Information gives, for the purpose of this report, a true and fair view of the state of affairs of CEC Xi’an as at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 and 30 April 2013 and of CEC Xi’an’s results and cash flows for the Relevant Periods then ended.

REVIEW OF STUB PERIOD COMPARATIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
We have reviewed the stub period comparative financial information set out in Sections I to II below included in Appendix IIIB to the circular which comprises the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows of CEC Xi’an for the four months ended 30 April 2012 and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (the “Stub Period Comparative Financial Information”).
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 2 of Section II below and the accounting policies adopted by the Group as set out in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2012.
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the HKICPA, which applies to a review of historical financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity. A review of Stub Period Comparative Financial Information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information, for the purpose of this report, is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 2 of Section II below.

II. NOTES TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. General information
China Electronics Xi’an Industrial Park Development Co., Ltd (中國電子西安產業園 發展有限公司)( “CEC Xi’an”) is principally engaged in the development and management of electronic information technology industrial parks in the PRC.
CEC Xi’an is a limited liability company incorporated in the PRC on 12 November 2010. The address of its registered office is 405A Kairui Xi’an Export Processing Zone Fengcheng Road 12, Xi’an. The owners of CEC Xi’an were initially China Electronics Technology Development Company Limited (中國電子科技開發有限公司, “ CEC Technology”), The 6th Research Institute of China Electronics Corporation Limited ( 中 國電子信息產業 集團有限公司第六研究所, “6th Research Institute”), China National Software & Service Co., Ltd (中國軟件與技術服務股份有限公司, “ChinaSoft”), Xi’an City Construction Investment Management Co., Ltd (西安經開城市投資建設管理有限責任公司) and Mr. Han Lin, which held 27.27%, 25.97%, 12.99%, 23.38% and 10.39% equity interest in CEC Xi’an, respectively. On 24 April 2013 and 31 July 2013, CEC Technology entered into an equity transfer agreement with ChinaSoft and 6th Research Institute, respectively. Pursuant to the above equity transfer agreements, CEC Technology has agreed to acquire 12.99% equity interest in CEC Xi’an held by ChinaSoft and 25.97% equity interest in CEC Xi’an held by 6th Research Institute.
As of the date of this report, the acquisition of 12.99% equity interest in CEC Xi’an held by ChinaSoft has been completed. Upon completion of the acquisition of 25.97% equity interest in CEC Xi’an held by 6th Research Institute, CEC Xi’an will be held by CEC Technology as to 66.23% and become a subsidiary of CEC Technology. The ultimate parent company of CEC Xi’an is China Electronics Corporation Limited (“CEC”).
The financial information of CEC Xi’an (the “Financial Information”) is presented in the units of Renminbi (“RMB”) thousand Yuan, unless otherwise stated.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Financial Information are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to the Relevant Periods, unless otherwise stated.
2.1 Basis of preparation
The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the HKICPA and under the historical cost convention.
IIIB – 8
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF CEC XI’AN
APPENDIX IIIB
The preparation of Financial Information in conformity with the HKFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying CEC Xi’an’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Financial Information are disclosed in Note 4 below.
- (a) New and amendment to standards and interpretations
All new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations, which are mandatory for the financial year beginning 1 January 2013, are consistently applied to CEC Xi’an for the Relevant Periods.
The following new standards and amendments to standards have been issued but are not effective for the financial year beginning 1 January 2013 and have not been early adopted by CEC Xi’an.
-
Amendment to HKAS 32 “Financial instruments: Presentation” on asset and liability offsetting, these amendments are made to the application guidance in HKAS 32, “Financial instruments: Presentation”, and clarify some of the requirements for offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities on the balance sheet. This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.
-
HKFRS 9, “Financial instruments”, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. HKFRS 9 was issued in November 2009 and October 2010. It replaces the parts of HKAS 39 that relate to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. HKFRS 9 requires financial assets to be classified into two measurement categories: those measured as at fair value and those measured at amortised cost. The determination is made at initial recognition. The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument. For financial liabilities, the standard retains most of the HKAS 39 requirements. The main
IIIB – 9
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF CEC XI’AN
APPENDIX IIIB
change is that, in cases where the fair value option is taken for financial liabilities, the part of a fair value change due to an entity’s own credit risk is recorded in other comprehensive income rather than the income statement, unless this creates an accounting mismatch. This new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
- Amendments to HK FRS 9 and HK FRS 7, Mandatory Effective Date and Transition Disclosures, which amends the effective date of HKFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015 and also modifies the relief from restating comparative periods and the associated disclosures in HKFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”.
CEC Xi’an is in the process of making an assessment of the impact of the above standards and amendments to standards on the financial statements of CEC Xi’an in their initial applications.
2.2 Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the board of directors that makes strategic decisions.
2.3 Foreign currency translation
- (a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of CEC Xi’an are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which CEC Xi’an operates (the “functional currency”). The Financial Information is presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is CEC Xi’an’s functional currency and presentation currency.
IIIB – 10
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF CEC XI’AN
APPENDIX IIIB
(b) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at yearend exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
2.4 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation and any impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to CEC Xi’an and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are expensed in profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straightline method to allocate their cost less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
| Electronics equipment | 5 years |
|---|---|
| Motor vehicles | 5 years |
| Office equipment and others | 3-5 years |
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (Note 2.5).
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised within “other gains/(losses) – net ” in the statements of comprehensive income.
IIIB – 11
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF CEC XI’AN
APPENDIX IIIB
Construction in progress represents the direct costs of construction incurred in property less any impairment losses. No provision for depreciation is made on construction in progress until such time that the relevant assets are completed and available for use. Construction in progress is reclassified to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for use.
2.5 Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered from impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
2.6 Financial assets
(a) Classification
CEC Xi’an classifies its financial assets as loans and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date which are classified as non-current assets. CEC Xi’an’s loans and receivables comprise “ other receivables ” and “cash and cash equivalents ” in the balance sheets.
IIIB – 12
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF CEC XI’AN
APPENDIX IIIB
(b) Recognition and measurement
Regular purchases and sales of investments are recognised on tradedate – the date on which CEC Xi’an commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and CEC Xi’an has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.7 Impairment of financial assets carried at amortised cost
CEC Xi’an assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a “loss event”) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation, and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The asset’s carrying amount is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, CEC Xi’an may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price.
IIIB – 13
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF CEC XI’AN
APPENDIX IIIB
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
2.8 Land use rights
CEC Xi’an made upfront payments to obtain operating leases of land use rights. If the land use rights are held for development and subsequent sales, the upfront payments are recorded as part of the cost of properties under development (Note 2.9).
2.9 Properties under development
Properties under development are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is determined by reference to the sale proceeds of properties sold in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses and the anticipated costs to completion, or by management estimates based on prevailing marketing conditions.
Development cost of property comprises cost of land use rights, construction costs, depreciation of machinery and equipment, borrowing costs capitalised for qualifying assets and professional fees incurred during the development period. On completion, the properties are transferred to completed properties held for sale.
Properties under development are classified as current assets when the construction of the relevant properties commences unless the construction of the relevant property development project is expected to complete beyond normal operating cycle.
2.10 Cash and cash equivalents
In the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand and at banks, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
IIIB – 14
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF CEC XI’AN
APPENDIX IIIB
2.11 Paid-in capital
Paid-in capital is classified as equity.
2.12 Other payables
Other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.13 Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless CEC Xi’an has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.
2.14 Borrowings costs
General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
IIIB – 15
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF CEC XI’AN
APPENDIX IIIB
2.15 Current and deferred taxation
The taxation expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
(a) Current income tax
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where CEC Xi’an operates and generates taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
(b) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the Financial Information. However, the deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is determined using the tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
IIIB – 16
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF CEC XI’AN
APPENDIX IIIB
(c) Offsetting
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
2.16 Employee benefits
CEC Xi’an participates in employee benefit plans, including pension, medical and other welfare benefits, organised by the government authorities in accordance with relevant regulations. Except for the above social security benefits, CEC Xi’an has no other material commitment to other employee welfare benefits. According to the relevant regulations, premium and welfare benefit contributions are remitted to the social welfare authorities and are calculated based on percentages of the total salary of employees, subject to certain ceiling. Contributions to the plans are expensed as incurred.
2.17 Interest income
Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion using the effective interest method. When a loan and receivable is impaired, CEC Xi’an reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loans and receivables are recognised using the original effective interest rate.
2.18 Government grants
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and CEC Xi’an will comply with all attached conditions.
IIIB – 17
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF CEC XI’AN
APPENDIX IIIB
Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.
Government grants relating to property, plant and equipment and properties under development are deducted from their respective carrying amounts.
2.19 Leases
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases.
Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
3. Financial risk management
3.1 Financial risk factors
CEC Xi’an conducts its operations in the PRC and its activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (mainly interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. CEC Xi’an’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on CEC Xi’an’s financial performance.
-
(a) Market risk
-
(i) Cash flow interest rate risk
Other than deposits held in banks, CEC Xi’an does not have significant interest-bearing assets. Fluctuation of market rates does not have a significant impact to CEC Xi’an’s performance.
CEC Xi’an only has borrowing amounting to RMB5,000,000, bearing a fixed interest rate of 1%. The directors of CEC Xi’an consider the exposure to changes in interest rates is not significant.
IIIB – 18
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF CEC XI’AN
APPENDIX IIIB
(b) Credit risk
The credit risk of CEC Xi’an mainly arises from cash and cash equivalents and other receivables. The carrying amounts of these balances represent CEC Xi’an’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to these financial assets.
As at the balance sheet dates, all CEC Xi’an’s deposits are mainly placed in state-owned financial institutions in the PRC. The directors of CEC Xi’an believes these financial institutions are of high credit quality and do not expect any losses arising from non-performance by these counterparties.
For other receivables, the credit quality of the counterparties is assessed by taking into account their financial position, credit history and other factors. Individual credit limits are set based on the assessment of the credit quality. Based on the results of assessment of the credit quality of the counterparties, the directors of CEC Xi’an are of the opinion that the risk of default by these counterparties is not significant.
(c) Liquidity risk
CEC Xi’an’s objective is to maintain sufficient cash and sources of funding through committed credit facility and maintain flexibility in funding by maintaining committed credit lines. To manage the liquidity risk, management monitors rolling forecasts of CEC Xi’an’s liquidity reserve and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flow. CEC Xi’an expected to fund the future cash flow needs through internally generated cash flows from operations and committed credit facility.

3.2 Capital risk management
CEC Xi’an’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard CEC Xi’an’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for its owner s and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
CEC Xi’an monitors capital risk by regularly reviewing the capital structure. As a part of this review, the directors of CEC Xi’an consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with the paid-in capital. To manage capital risk, CEC Xi’an may adjust the amount of dividends paid to its owner s or return capital to its owner s.
4. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Estimates and judgements used in preparing the Financial Information are continually evaluated and based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. CEC Xi’an makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
(a) Income taxes and deferred taxation
Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such difference will impact the income tax and deferred tax provision in the period in which such determination is made.
Deferred tax assets relating to certain temporary differences and tax losses are recognised when management considers probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences or tax losses can be utilised. The outcome of their actual utilisation may be different.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF CEC XI’AN
APPENDIX IIIB
(b) Estimates for net realisable value of properties under development
As at 30 April 2013, the carrying amounts of properties under development are RMB33,679,000. CEC Xi’an assesses the carrying amounts of properties under development according to their net realisable value based on the realisability of these properties. Net realisable value for properties under development is determined by reference to management’s estimates of the selling price based on prevailing market conditions, less applicable variable selling expenses and the anticipated costs to completion (including land costs). Based on management’s best estimates, there is no impairment for properties under development at 30 April 2013.
5. Segment information
The chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the board of directors of CEC Xi’an. The board of directors reviews CEC Xi’an’s internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources. Management has determined the operating segments based on these reports.
The directors of CEC Xi’an consider that CEC Xi’an’s operations are operated and managed as a single segment. Accordingly, no segment information is presented.
CEC Xi’an’s non-current assets other than deferred tax assets are located in the PRC.

-
The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT
APPENDIX V
DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE
Our valuation of each of the Properties represents its market value which in accordance with the HKIS Valuation Standards 2012 Edition published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors is defined as “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.
VALUATION BASIS AND ASSUMPTION
Our valuations of the Properties exclude an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangement, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any element of special value.
In the course of our valuation of the Properties held by the Target Group in the PRC, we have assumed that transferable land use rights in respect of the Properties for its specific term at nominal annual land use fee have been granted and that any premium payable has already been fully paid. We have relied on the information and advice given by the Target Group and the PRC legal opinion of the Company’s legal adviser, Guantao Law Firm(觀韜律師事務所)dated 2 8 August 2013, regarding the title to the Properties and the interests in the Properties. In valuing the Properties, we have assumed that the owners have enforceable title to the Properties and have free and uninterrupted rights to use, occupy or assign the Properties for the whole of the unexpired terms as granted.
No allowance has been made in our valuations for any charges, pledges or amounts owing on the Properties nor any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is valued on the basis that the Properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of any onerous nature which could affect their values.
METHOD OF VALUATION
In valuing the Property in Group I, which is held by the Target Group for sale in the PRC, we have adopted the Direct Comparison Approach by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant market.
In valuing the Properties in Group II, which are held by the Target Group for sale/investment in the PRC, we have adopted the Direct Comparison Approach by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant market, or where appropriate, we have also valued the Properties by Income Approach by capitalizing the rental income derived from the existing tenancies with due provision for the reversionary rental income potential of the Properties.
V – 2
PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT
APPENDIX V
In valuing the Properties in Group III, which are held by the Target Group for development in the PRC, we have adopted the Direct Comparison Approach by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant market, or where appropriate, we have also taken into account the expended construction costs.
In valuing the Properties, we have complied with the requirements set out in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and The HKIS Valuation Standards 2012 Edition published by the Hong Kong Institutes of Surveyors.
SOURCE OF INFORMATION
We have relied to a very considerable extent on the information given by the Target Group and the opinion of the PRC legal adviser as to PRC laws. We have accepted advice given to us on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenure, identification of Properties, completion dates of building, construction cost, particulars of occupancy, development scheme, tenancy information, site and floor areas and all other relevant matters.
Dimension, measurements and areas included in this valuation report are based on the information provided to us and are therefore only approximation. We have no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Target Group which is material to the valuation. We were also advised that no material facts have been omitted from the information supplied.
We would point out that the copies of documents provided to us are mainly compiled in Chinese characters and the transliteration into English represents our understanding of the contents. We would therefore advise the Company to make reference to the original Chinese edition of the documents and consult your legal adviser regarding the legality and interpretation of these documents.
TITLE INVESTIGATION
We have been provided by the Target Group with copies or extracts of documents. However, we have not searched the original documents to verify ownership or to ascertain any amendments. All documents have been used for reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximate.

SITE INSPECTION
Our DTZ PRC Offices valuers, Eric Fan, Sandy Meng, Stephaine Shen, Li Zhi (a Surveyor or a China Real Estate Appraiser) have inspected the exterior and, wherever possible, the interior of the properties in April 2013 respectively. However, no structural survey has been made, but in the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects. We are not, however, able to report that the properties are free of rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No tests were carried out to any of the services. However, we have not carried out any soil investigations to determine the suitability of the soil conditions and the services etc. for any future development. Our valuation is prepared on the assumption that its aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary expenses or delays will be incurred during the construction period.
Unless otherwise stated, we have not been able to carry out detailed on-site measurements to verify the site and floor areas of the properties and we have assumed that the areas shown on the copies of documents handed to us are correct.
CURRENCY
Unless otherwise stated, all sums stated in our valuations are in Renminbi, the official currency of the PRC.
