REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITIONS
The Group is principally engaged in the development of commercial and residential properties for sale and ownership, investment and operation of hotel business, leasing, management and agency of commercial and residential properties in the PRC. The Group currently has development projects in 12 cities in the PRC which are in northern China and the Yangtze River Delta Economic Region as dominated by Shanghai city, as well as the overseas real estate development projects.
Due to the further implementation of the urbanisation policy and the continuous growth in seeking home upgrade in the first-tier and second-tier cities in the PRC, it is expected that the demand for the mid-to-high end property market would rise accordingly. The Group will take root in Shanghai and Nanjing cities, while harboring the key regions in order to capture the profit growth from the regional upgrade. In addition, since “Nanjing Himalayas Center” and “Nanjing Riverside Thumb Plaza”, the core development projects of the Group in Nanjing, the PRC, has commenced pre-sale and is expected to commence pre-sale in 2015 respectively, it is the intention of the Company to maintain the stable supply and delivery of the property projects of the Group in the future, with a view to modifying the development strategy and launching properties which can cater for market needs.
The Land Parcels, covering a total site area of approximately 110,489.06 sq.m., are located in the Gulou District, being one of the core districts of Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu Province, the PRC. In recent years, the Gulou District municipal government has been constantly undergoing a wide range of economic reforms to expedite the urban development. Given the unique location and the economic prospects of the Land Parcels, the Group plans to develop the Land Parcels into a mixed-use zone comprising hotel and apartments, commercial, office and cultural and entertainment space. In view of the Group’s extensive experience in
– 24 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
developing large-scale integrated complex in the PRC, the Board is confident that the Land Parcels will be another landmark development in the PRC and considers that the Acquisitions represent good investment opportunities for the Group to further increase its land reserve in the PRC region and enhance Shareholders’ value.
The Directors (excluding Mr. Xu Xiaoliang, Mr. Gong Ping and Mr. Chow, Alexander Yue Nong) are of the opinion that the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder are normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and the Acquisitions are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
EFFECTS ON EARNINGS AND ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF THE GROUP
Upon completion of the Acquisitions, the Target Companies will become indirectly owned as to 80% by the Company and their financial results will be consolidated into the financial results of the Group.
It is expected that the Acquisitions will have the following financial effects on the Group:
Assets and liabilities
The unaudited consolidated total assets and total liabilities of the Group as at 30 June 2015 as extracted from the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2015 were approximately HK$22,578.50 million and approximately HK$16,874.81 million respectively. Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as set out in the Appendix X to this circular, assuming completion of the Acquisitions had taken place on 30 June 2015, the pro forma total assets and total liabilities of the Enlarged Group would have been approximately HK$28,219.36 million and approximately HK$22,515.67 million respectively. Therefore, the Acquisitions have no impact on the net assets of the Enlarged Group.
Earnings
The unaudited net loss of the Group for the period ended 30 June 2015 as extracted from the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2015 was approximately HK$557.67 million. Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as set out in the Appendix X to this circular, assuming completion of the Acquisitions had taken place on 1 January 2015, the pro forma net loss of the Enlarged Group would have been approximately HK$557.67 million. It is expected that the impact of the Acquisitions on the Group’s earning will be minimal in the short term. In view of the future prospects of the property market in Nanjing, the PRC, it is anticipated that the Acquisitions will improve the Enlarged Group’s trading prospects in the future.

Following completion of the Acquisitions, the Enlarged Group will continue to focus on the key regional development, investment and management of commercial and residential properties, which consist of various integrated commercial complex, grade A office buildings and residential buildings in the first tier cities such as Shanghai and Nanjing as well as second tier cities which are suitable for development in the PRC.
In the first half of 2015, with the continuous and steady growth of the economy and the policy of promoting urbanisation by the central government, the People’s Bank of China cut interest rates for a number of times and eased rules on loans to form a loose market environment, together with measures of policies such as the cancellation of restrictions on property purchases which commenced in 2014, it is expected that the housing market will gradually gain a recovery momentum.
The development strategy of the Group was further affirmed upon COAMI gaining control over the Group. The Group will actively adjust its development strategy to gradually withdraw from the third and fourth tier cities while maintaining adequate land bank. The Group will also continue to expand its land bank in the first and second tier cities in the future to maintain sustained and healthy development. In addition, the Company will seek to continue to develop suitable projects through cooperation to explore capital resources, reduce capital investment at early stage and facilitate projects development. The management remains cautiously optimistic on the long-term prospects of the industry and will quicken the development and sales of its development projects through making use of its own advantages and leveraging on the national network and business resources of COAMI. The synergistic effect brought by COAMI will improve the position of the Group in the real estate industry in China.

Target Company A was incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) on 22 May 2014 as a limited liability company under the Company Law of the PRC.
No audited financial statements have been prepared by the Target Company A as it has not been involved in any business transactions since its date of incorporation till 31 December 2014. The directors of Target Company A during the Relevant Periods are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises of the People’s Republic of China (“CAS”) issued by the China Ministry of Finance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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 Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”) and accounting policies adopted by the Company as set out in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2014.

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 Target Company A as at 31 December 2014 and 30 June 2015 and of Target Company A’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 Section I to II below included in Appendix II to the Circular which comprises the income statement, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the cash flow statement of Target Company A for the period from 22 May 2014 to 30 June 2014 and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (the “Stub Period Comparative Financial Information”).

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. 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 and presented on the basis set out in Note 2 of Section II below, is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 3 of Section II below.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF TARGET COMPANY A
APPENDIX II
II. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1 GENERAL INFORMATION
Nanjing Himalayas Real Estate Company Limited (“Target Company A”) was incorporated with limited liability in the PRC on 22 May 2014. The address of its registered office is No. 550 Zhongshan North Road, Gulou District, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, the PRC.
Target Company A is principally engaged in property development services in the PRC.
These financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), unless otherwise stated.
These financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 24 September 2015.
2 BASIS OF PREPARATION
The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS”) issued by Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”).
The Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost convention.
HKFRS 1, First-time adoption of Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, has been applied in preparing these financial statements. As disclosed in Note 10, Target Company A has consistently applied the accounting policies used in the preparation of its opening HKFRS balance sheet at 31 December 2014 throughout all periods presented. Note 10 discloses the impact of adoption of HKFRS on Target Company A’s reported financial position, financial performance and cash flows, including the nature and effect of significant changes in accounting policies from those used in Target Company A’s financial statements prepared under Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises of the PRC (“CAS”).
Standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that are effective during the Relevant Periods have been adopted and applied by Target Company A consistently throughout the Relevant Periods.
There were no assets, equity or liabilities for Target Company A as at 22 May 2014 (date of establishment).
3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.
3.1 Changes in accounting policy and disclosures
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2015, and have not been applied in preparing financial statement. None of these is expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of Target Company A, except the following set out below:
HKFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The complete version of HKFRS 9 was issued in July 2014. It replaces the guidance in HKAS 39 that relates to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. HKFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes three primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost, fair value through OCI and fair value through P&L. The basis of classification depends on the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Investments in equity instruments are required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss with the irrevocable option at inception to present changes in fair value in OCI not recycling. There is now a new expected credit losses model that replaces the incurred loss impairment model used in HKAS 39. For financial liabilities there were no changes to classification and measurement except for the recognition of changes in own credit risk in other comprehensive income, for liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss. HKFRS 9 relaxes the requirements for hedge effectiveness by replacing the bright line hedge effectiveness tests. It requires an economic relationship between the hedged item and hedging instrument and for the ‘hedged ratio’ to be the same as the one management actually use for risk management purposes.
– II-7 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF TARGET COMPANY A
APPENDIX II
Contemporaneous documentation is still required but is different to that currently prepared under HKAS 39. The standard is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Target Company A is yet to assess HKFRS 9’s full impact.
HKFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ deals with revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. Revenue is recognised when a customer obtains control of a good or service and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from the good or service. The standard replaces HKAS 18 ‘Revenue’ and HKAS 11 ‘Construction contracts’ and related interpretations. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 and earlier application is permitted. Target Company A is assessing the impact of HKFRS 15.
There are no other HKFRSs or HK (IFRIC) interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on Target Company A.
3.2 Land use rights
Land use rights which are held for development for sales are inventories and measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is determined by reference to estimated sales proceeds of the properties sold in the ordinary course of business less costs to complete development and estimated selling expenses.
Land use rights are classified as current assets unless the construction period of the relevant property development project is expected to complete beyond normal operating cycle.
All lands in China mainland are state-owned and no individual land ownership right exists. Target Company A acquired the rights to use certain land and the premiums paid for such rights are recorded as land use rights.
The lease period of land use rights is between 40 to 70 years.
3.3 Cash
In the cash flow statement, cash includes cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.
3.4 Paid-in capital
Paid-in capital is classified as equity.
3.5 Amounts due to a related party
The financial liabilities of Target Company A are amounts due to a related party, Nanjing Linjiang Old Town Renovation Construction and Investment Co., Ltd (“Linjiang Old Town”).
Amounts due to Linjiang Old Town are recorded at amortised cost.
Financial liabilities with repayment period within 1 year (including 1 year) are stated as current liabilities; other financial liabilities with repayment period over 1 year but repayment date within 1 year from balance sheet date are stated as current portion of non-current liabilities; others are stated as noncurrent liabilities.
A financial liability is derecognised or partly derecognised when the current obligation is discharged or partly discharged. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability or the derecognised part of the financial liability and the consideration paid is recognised in income statement.
3.6 Current income tax
The tax expense for the year comprises current income tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement, 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.
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 country where Target Company A 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 and establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

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 Target Company B as at 31 December 2014 and 30 June 2015 and of Target Company B’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 Section I to II below included in Appendix III to the Circular which comprises the income statement, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the cash flow statement of Target Company B for the period from 13 February 2014 to 30 June 2014 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 presentation of the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 3 of Section II below and the accounting policies adopted by the Company as set out in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2014.
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. 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 and presented on the basis set out in Note 2 of Section II below, is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 3 of Section II below.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF TARGET COMPANY B

II. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1 GENERAL INFORMATION
Nanjing Zendai Kuanyu Real Estate Company Limited (“Target Company B”) was incorporated with limited liability in the PRC on 13 February 2014. The address of its registered office is No. 550 Zhongshan North Road, Gulou District, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, the PRC.
Target Company B is principally engaged in property development services in the PRC.
These financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), unless otherwise stated.
These financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 24 September 2015.
2 BASIS OF PREPARATION
The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS”) issued by Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”).
The Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost convention.
HKFRS 1, First-time adoption of Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, has been applied in preparing these financial statements. As disclosed in Note 14, Target Company B has consistently applied the accounting policies used in the preparation of its opening HKFRS balance sheet at 31 December 2014 throughout all periods presented. Note 14 discloses the impact of adoption of HKFRS on Target Company B’s reported financial position, financial performance and cash flows, including the nature and effect of significant changes in accounting policies from those used in Target Company B’s financial statements prepared under Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises of the PRC (“CAS”).
Standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that are effective during the Relevant Periods have been adopted and applied by Target Company B consistently throughout the Relevant Periods.
There were no assets, equity or liabilities for Target Company B as at 13 February 2014 (date of establishment).
3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.
3.1 Changes in accounting policy and disclosures
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2015, and have not been applied in preparing financial statement. None of these is expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of Target Company B, except the following set out below:
HKFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The complete version of HKFRS 9 was issued in July 2014. It replaces the guidance in HKAS 39 that relates to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. HKFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes three primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost, fair value through OCI and fair value through P&L. The basis of classification depends on the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Investments in equity instruments are required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss with the irrevocable option at inception to present changes in fair value in OCI not recycling. There is now a new expected credit losses model that replaces the incurred loss impairment model used in HKAS 39. For financial liabilities there were no changes to classification and measurement except for the recognition of changes in own credit risk in other comprehensive income, for liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss. HKFRS 9 relaxes the requirements for hedge effectiveness by replacing the bright line hedge effectiveness tests. It requires an economic relationship between the hedged item and hedging instrument and for the ‘hedged ratio’ to be the same as the one management actually use for risk management purposes.
– III-7 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF TARGET COMPANY B
APPENDIX III
Contemporaneous documentation is still required but is different to that currently prepared under HKAS 39. The standard is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Target Company B is yet to assess HKFRS 9’s full impact.
HKFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ deals with revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. Revenue is recognised when a customer obtains control of a good or service and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from the good or service. The standard replaces HKAS 18 ‘Revenue’ and HKAS 11 ‘Construction contracts’ and related interpretations. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 and earlier application is permitted. Target Company B is assessing the impact of HKFRS 15.
There are no other HKFRSs or HK (IFRIC) interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on Target Company B.
3.2 Land use rights
Land use rights which are held for development for sales are inventories and measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is determined by reference to estimated sales proceeds of the properties sold in the ordinary course of business less costs to complete development and estimated selling expenses.
Land use rights are classified as current assets unless the construction period of the relevant property development project is expected to complete beyond normal operating cycle.
All lands in China mainland are state-owned and no individual land ownership right exists. Target Company B acquired the rights to use certain land and the premiums paid for such rights are recorded as land use rights.
The lease period of land use rights is between 40 to 70 years.
3.3 Cash
In the cash flow statement, cash includes cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.
3.4 Paid-in capital
Paid-in capital is classified as equity.
3.5 Amounts due to a related party
The financial liabilities of Target Company B are amounts due to a related party, Nanjing Linjiang Old Town Renovation Construction and Investment Co., Ltd (“Linjiang Old Town”).
Amounts due to Linjiang Old Town are recorded at amortised cost.
Financial liabilities with repayment period within 1 year (including 1 year) are stated as current liabilities; other financial liabilities with repayment period over 1 year but repayment date within 1 year from balance sheet date are stated as current portion of non-current liabilities; others are stated as noncurrent liabilities.
A financial liability is derecognised or partly derecognised when the current obligation is discharged or partly discharged. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability or the derecognised part of the financial liability and the consideration paid is recognised in income statement.
3.6 Current income tax
The tax expense for the year comprises current income tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement, 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.
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 country where Target Company B 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 and establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

4 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
4.1 Financial risk factors
Target Company B’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk and liquidity risk. Target Company B’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on Target Company B’s financial performance. The board of directors reviews and approves policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below.
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash. The carrying amounts of cash represent Target Company B’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to its financial assets.
To manage such exposure, Target Company B has policies in place to ensure that deposits are placed with banks with appropriate credit ratings. Target Company B has no significant concentration of credit risk.
(b) Liquidity risk
Cash flow forecast is performed by Target Company B. The finance department of Target Company B monitors rolling forecasts of Target Company B’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that Target Company B does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities. Such forecast takes into consideration Target Company B’s debt financing plans, covenant compliance (if applicable) and compliance with internal balance sheet ratio targets.
The table below analyses Target Company B’s non-derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. The amount disclosed in the table is the contractual undiscounted cash flows.
| As at 31 December 2014 Amounts due to a related party (Note 8) As at 30 June 2015 Amounts due to a related party (Note 8) |
On demand RMB’000 432,800 |
|---|---|
| 432,800 |
4.2 Capital risk management
Target Company B’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard Target Company B’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
Management of Target Company B monitors capital for all companies owned by Linjiang Old Town (incorporated in the PRC) collectively. Target Company B utilises paid-in capital or shareholder loans to meet capital needs, if necessary, Target Company B will also provide fund to or receive fund from other project companies controlled by Linjiang Old Town.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF TARGET COMPANY C
APPENDIX IV
II. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1 GENERAL INFORMATION
Nanjing Thumb Development Company Limited (“Target Company C”) was incorporated with limited liability in the PRC on 22 May 2014. The address of its registered office is No. 550 Zhongshan North Road, Gulou District, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, the PRC.
Target Company C is principally engaged in property development services in the PRC.
These financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), unless otherwise stated.
These financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 24 September 2015.
2 BASIS OF PREPARATION
The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS”) issued by Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”).
The Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost convention.
HKFRS 1, First-time adoption of Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, has been applied in preparing these financial statements. As disclosed in Note 10, Target Company C has consistently applied the accounting policies used in the preparation of its opening HKFRS balance sheet at 31 December 2014 throughout all periods presented. Note 10 discloses the impact of adoption of HKFRS on Target Company C’s reported financial position, financial performance and cash flows, including the nature and effect of significant changes in accounting policies from those used in Target Company C’s financial statements prepared under Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises of the PRC (“CAS”).
Standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that are effective during the Relevant Periods have been adopted and applied by Target Company C consistently throughout the Relevant Periods.
There were no assets, equity or liabilities for Target Company C as at 22 May 2014 (date of establishment).
3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.
3.1 Changes in accounting policy and disclosures
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2015, and have not been applied in preparing financial statement. None of these is expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of Target Company C, except the following set out below:
HKFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The complete version of HKFRS 9 was issued in July 2014. It replaces the guidance in HKAS 39 that relates to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. HKFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes three primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost, fair value through OCI and fair value through P&L. The basis of classification depends on the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Investments in equity instruments are required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss with the irrevocable option at inception to present changes in fair value in OCI not recycling. There is now a new expected credit losses model that replaces the incurred loss impairment model used in HKAS 39. For financial liabilities there were no changes to classification and measurement except for the recognition of changes in own credit risk in other comprehensive income, for liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss. HKFRS 9 relaxes the requirements for hedge effectiveness by replacing the bright line hedge effectiveness tests. It requires an economic relationship between the hedged item and hedging instrument and for the ‘hedged ratio’ to be the same as the one management actually use for risk management purposes.
– IV-7 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF TARGET COMPANY C
APPENDIX IV
Contemporaneous documentation is still required but is different to that currently prepared under HKAS 39. The standard is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Target Company C is yet to assess HKFRS 9’s full impact.
HKFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ deals with revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. Revenue is recognised when a customer obtains control of a good or service and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from the good or service. The standard replaces HKAS 18 ‘Revenue’ and HKAS 11 ‘Construction contracts’ and related interpretations. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 and earlier application is permitted. Target Company C is assessing the impact of HKFRS 15.
There are no other HKFRSs or HK (IFRIC) interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on Target Company C.
3.2 Land use rights
Land use rights which are held for development for sales are inventories and measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is determined by reference to estimated sales proceeds of the properties sold in the ordinary course of business less costs to complete development and estimated selling expenses.
Land use rights are classified as current assets unless the construction period of the relevant property development project is expected to complete beyond normal operating cycle.
All lands in China mainland are state-owned and no individual land ownership right exists. Target Company C acquired the rights to use certain land and the premiums paid for such rights are recorded as land use rights.
The lease period of land use rights is between 40 to 70 years.
3.3 Cash
In the cash flow statement, cash includes cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.
3.4 Paid-in capital
Paid-in capital is classified as equity.
3.5 Amounts due to a related party
The financial liabilities of Target Company C are amounts due to a related party, Nanjing Linjiang Old Town Renovation Construction and Investment Co., Ltd (“Linjiang Old Town”).
Amounts due to Linjiang Old Town are recorded at amortised cost.
Financial liabilities with repayment period within 1 year (including 1 year) are stated as current liabilities; other financial liabilities with repayment period over 1 year but repayment date within 1 year from balance sheet date are stated as current portion of non-current liabilities; others are stated as noncurrent liabilities.
A financial liability is derecognised or partly derecognised when the current obligation is discharged or partly discharged. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability or the derecognised part of the financial liability and the consideration paid is recognised in income statement.
3.6 Current income tax
The tax expense for the year comprises current income tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement, 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.
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 country where Target Company C 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 and establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Nanjing Shuiqingmuhua Real Estate Company Limited (“Target Company D”) was incorporated with limited liability in the PRC on 22 May 2014. The address of its registered office is No. 550 Zhongshan North Road, Gulou District, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, the PRC.
Target Company D is principally engaged in property development services in the PRC.
These financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), unless otherwise stated.
These financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 24 September 2015.
2 BASIS OF PREPARATION
The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS”) issued by Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”).
The Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost convention.
HKFRS 1, First-time adoption of Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, has been applied in preparing these financial statements. As disclosed in Note 10, Target Company D has consistently applied the accounting policies used in the preparation of its opening HKFRS balance sheet at 31 December 2014 throughout all periods presented. Note 10 discloses the impact of adoption of HKFRS on Target Company D’s reported financial position, financial performance and cash flows, including the nature and effect of significant changes in accounting policies from those used in Target Company D’s financial statements prepared under Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises of the PRC (“CAS”).
Standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that are effective during the Relevant Periods have been adopted and applied by Target Company D consistently throughout the Relevant Periods.
There were no assets, equity or liabilities for Target Company D as at 22 May 2014 (date of establishment).
3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.
3.1 Changes in accounting policy and disclosures
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2015, and have not been applied in preparing financial statement. None of these is expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of Target Company D, except the following set out below:
HKFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The complete version of HKFRS 9 was issued in July 2014. It replaces the guidance in HKAS 39 that relates to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. HKFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes three primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost, fair value through OCI and fair value through P&L. The basis of classification depends on the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Investments in equity instruments are required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss with the irrevocable option at inception to present changes in fair value in OCI not recycling. There is now a new expected credit losses model that replaces the incurred loss impairment model used in HKAS 39. For financial liabilities there were no changes to classification and measurement except for the recognition of changes in own credit risk in other comprehensive income, for liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss. HKFRS 9 relaxes the requirements for hedge effectiveness by replacing the bright line hedge effectiveness tests. It requires an economic relationship between the hedged item and hedging instrument and for the ‘hedged ratio’ to be the same as the one management actually use for risk management purposes.
– V-7 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF TARGET COMPANY D
APPENDIX V
Contemporaneous documentation is still required but is different to that currently prepared under HKAS 39. The standard is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Target Company D is yet to assess HKFRS 9’s full impact.
HKFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ deals with revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. Revenue is recognised when a customer obtains control of a good or service and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from the good or service. The standard replaces HKAS 18 ‘Revenue’ and HKAS 11 ‘Construction contracts’ and related interpretations. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 and earlier application is permitted. Target Company D is assessing the impact of HKFRS 15.
There are no other HKFRSs or HK (IFRIC) interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on Target Company D.
3.2 Land use rights
Land use rights which are held for development for sales are inventories and measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is determined by reference to estimated sales proceeds of the properties sold in the ordinary course of business less costs to complete development and estimated selling expenses.
Land use rights are classified as current assets unless the construction period of the relevant property development project is expected to complete beyond normal operating cycle.
All lands in China mainland are state-owned and no individual land ownership right exists. Target Company D acquired the rights to use certain land and the premiums paid for such rights are recorded as land use rights.
The lease period of land use rights is between 40 to 70 years.
3.3 Cash
In the cash flow statement, cash includes cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.
3.4 Paid-in capital
Paid-in capital is classified as equity.
3.5 Amounts due to a related party
The financial liabilities of Target Company D are amounts due to a related party, Nanjing Linjiang Old Town Renovation Construction and Investment Co., Ltd (“Linjiang Old Town”).
Amounts due to Linjiang Old Town are recorded at amortised cost.
Financial liabilities with repayment period within 1 year (including 1 year) are stated as current liabilities; other financial liabilities with repayment period over 1 year but repayment date within 1 year from balance sheet date are stated as current portion of non-current liabilities; others are stated as noncurrent liabilities.
A financial liability is derecognised or partly derecognised when the current obligation is discharged or partly discharged. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability or the derecognised part of the financial liability and the consideration paid is recognised in income statement.
3.6 Current income tax
The tax expense for the year comprises current income tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement, 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.
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 country where Target Company D 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 and establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Target Company E was incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) on 22 May 2014 as a limited liability company under the Company Law of the PRC.
No audited financial statements have been prepared by the Target Company E as it has not been involved in any business transactions since its date of incorporation till 31 December 2014. The directors of Target Company E during the Relevant Periods are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises of the People’s Republic of China (“CAS”) issued by the China Ministry of Finance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In our opinion, the financial information gives, for the purpose of this report, a true and fair view of the state of affairs of Target Company E as at 31 December 2014 and 30 June 2015 and of Target Company E’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 Section I to II below included in Appendix VI to the Circular which comprises the income statement, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the cash flow statement of Target Company E for the period from 22 May 2014 to 30 June 2014 and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (the “Stub Period Comparative Financial Information”).

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 and presented on the basis set out in Note 2 of Section II below, is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 3 of Section II below.

It replaces the guidance in HKAS 39 that relates to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. HKFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes three primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost, fair value through OCI and fair value through P&L. The basis of classification depends on the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

The directors of Target Company F during the Relevant Periods are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises of the People’s Republic of China (“CAS”) issued by the China Ministry of Finance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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 Target Company F as at 31 December 2014 and 30 June 2015 and of Target Company F’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 Section I to II below included in Appendix VII to the Circular which comprises the income statement, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the cash flow statement of Target Company F for the period from 13 February 2014 to 30 June 2014 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 presentation of the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 3 of Section II below and the accounting policies adopted by the Company as set out in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2014.
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. 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 and presented on the basis set out in Note 2 of Section II below, is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 3 of Section II below.

II. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1 GENERAL INFORMATION
Nanjing Zendai Delta Real Estate Company Limited (“Target Company F”) was incorporated with limited liability in the PRC on 13 February 2014. The address of its registered office is No. 550 Zhongshan North Road, Gulou District, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, the PRC.
Target Company F is principally engaged in property development services in the PRC.
These financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), unless otherwise stated.
These financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 24 September 2015.
2 BASIS OF PREPARATION
The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS”) issued by Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”).
The Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost convention.
HKFRS 1, First-time adoption of Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, has been applied in preparing these financial statements. As disclosed in Note 14, Target Company F has consistently applied the accounting policies used in the preparation of its opening HKFRS balance sheet at 31 December 2014 throughout all periods presented. Note 14 discloses the impact of adoption of HKFRS on Target Company F’s reported financial position, financial performance and cash flows, including the nature and effect of significant changes in accounting policies from those used in Target Company F’s financial statements prepared under Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises of the PRC (“CAS”).
Standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that are effective during the Relevant Periods have been adopted and applied by Target Company F consistently throughout the Relevant Periods.
There were no assets, equity or liabilities for Target Company F as at 13 February 2014 (date of establishment).
3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.
3.1 Changes in accounting policy and disclosures
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2015, and have not been applied in preparing financial statement. None of these is expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of Target Company F, except the following set out below:
HKFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The complete version of HKFRS 9 was issued in July 2014. It replaces the guidance in HKAS 39 that relates to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. HKFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes three primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost, fair value through OCI and fair value through P&L. The basis of classification depends on the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Investments in equity instruments are required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss with the irrevocable option at inception to present changes in fair value in OCI not recycling. There is now a new expected credit losses model that replaces the incurred loss impairment model used in HKAS 39. For financial liabilities there were no changes to classification and measurement except for the recognition of changes in own credit risk in other comprehensive income, for liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss. HKFRS 9 relaxes the requirements for hedge effectiveness by replacing the bright line hedge effectiveness tests. It requires an economic relationship between the hedged item and hedging instrument and for the ‘hedged ratio’ to be the same as the one management actually use for risk management purposes.
– VII-7 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF TARGET COMPANY F
APPENDIX VII
Contemporaneous documentation is still required but is different to that currently prepared under HKAS 39. The standard is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Target Company F is yet to assess HKFRS 9’s full impact.
HKFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ deals with revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. Revenue is recognised when a customer obtains control of a good or service and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from the good or service. The standard replaces HKAS 18 ‘Revenue’ and HKAS 11 ‘Construction contracts’ and related interpretations. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 and earlier application is permitted. Target Company F is assessing the impact of HKFRS 15.
There are no other HKFRSs or HK (IFRIC) interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on Target Company F.
3.2 Land use rights
Land use rights which are held for development for sales are inventories and measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is determined by reference to estimated sales proceeds of the properties sold in the ordinary course of business less costs to complete development and estimated selling expenses.
Land use rights are classified as current assets unless the construction period of the relevant property development project is expected to complete beyond normal operating cycle.
All lands in China mainland are state-owned and no individual land ownership right exists. Target Company F acquired the rights to use certain land and the premiums paid for such rights are recorded as land use rights.
The lease period of land use rights is between 40 to 70 years.
3.3 Cash
In the cash flow statement, cash includes cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.
3.4 Paid-in capital
Paid-in capital is classified as equity.
3.5 Amounts due to a related party
The financial liabilities of Target Company F are amounts due to a related party, Nanjing Linjiang Old Town Renovation Construction and Investment Co., Ltd (“Linjiang Old Town”).
Amounts due to Linjiang Old Town are recorded at amortised cost.
Financial liabilities with repayment period within 1 year (including 1 year) are stated as current liabilities; other financial liabilities with repayment period over 1 year but repayment date within 1 year from balance sheet date are stated as current portion of non-current liabilities; others are stated as noncurrent liabilities.
A financial liability is derecognised or partly derecognised when the current obligation is discharged or partly discharged. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability or the derecognised part of the financial liability and the consideration paid is recognised in income statement.
3.6 Current income tax
The tax expense for the year comprises current income tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement, 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.
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 country where Target Company F 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 and establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX VIII
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ON THE GROUP
Set out below is the management discussion and analysis of the Group for each of the three years ended 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014 and for the six months ended 30 June 2015.
For the year ended 31 December 2012
Review of operations
The results of the Group for the year under review was satisfactory. The turnover and profit for the year were mainly attributable to sales and delivery of residential units in Changchung, Jilin, Haimen and gain on disposal of the Bund project. The Group continued to offer both residential and commercial properties for sale. For commercial projects, they were office premises in Zendai International Financial Centre in Hainan. In respect of residential projects, they were apartments, villas and detached houses in Haimen, Jilin, Changchun, Qingdao and Zhujiajiao Town (Qingpu District, Shanghai).
Liquidity, financial resources and gearing
As at 31 December 2012, the Group had a healthy financial position with net assets value of HK$5,800 million which remained stable when compared to last year’s net assets value of approximately HK$5,813 million. Net current assets amounted to approximately HK$5,943 million (2011: approximately HK$3,834 million) with current ratio increased from 1.42 times in 2011 to approximately 2.06 times in 2012. As at 31 December 2012, the Group had consolidated bank loans of approximately HK$4,956 million in which HK$1,325 million was repayable within one year and HK$3,631 million was repayable within more than one year. The amount of HK$2,242.06 million out of such bank loans was at a fixed interest rate of 5.81% while the remaining of HK$2,714.62 million was at floating interest rate with an effective interest rate of 5.82%. Such bank loans were mainly denominated in HK$, RMB and US$. As at 31 December 2012, the Group’s bank balances and cash were approximately HK$2,826 million, which were mainly denominated in HK$, RMB and US$. The gearing ratio of the Group increased from 0.67 times in 2011 to 0.89 times in 2012 (basis: total of amounts due to related companies, bank loans, notes payable and other borrowings divided by Shareholders’ funds).
Capital structure
The Group had no debt securities or other capital instruments as at 31 December 2012.
The Group adopted relatively prudent financial and treasury policies and closely monitored its cash flow. The Group’s primary objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for Shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The Group actively and regularly reviews
– VIII-1 –
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX VIII
and manages its capital structure to maintain a balance between the higher shareholders’ returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position, and makes adjustments to the capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions. Consistent with industry practice, the Group monitors its capital structure on the basis of a net debt-to-adjusted capital ratio. For this purpose the Group defines net debts as total debt (which comprises non-current other payables, bank loans, other borrowing, entrusted loan payables and senior loan notes less cash and cash equivalents and pledged bank deposits). Adjusted capital comprises all components of equity. During the year, the Group’s strategy was to maintain the net debt-to-adjusted capital ratio at the lower end of the range 60% to 70%. In order to maintain or adjust the ratio, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, issue new shares, return capital to shareholders, raise new debt financing or sell assets to reduce debt. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from prior year.
Contingent liabilities
As at 31 December 2012, the Group provided guarantees to the extent of approximately HK$246,505,000 (2011: 383,999,000) to banks in respect of mortgage loans provided by the banks to customers for the purchase of the developed properties of the Group. These guarantees provided by the Group to the banks would be released upon receiving the building ownership certificates of the respective properties by the banks from the customers as a pledge for security to the mortgage loans granted.
In the opinion of the directors, the fair value of guarantee contracts is insignificant at initial recognition.
Segment information
Sale of properties
The turnover of this segment for the year amounted to HK$685,521,000 (2011: HK$2,391,143,000) which decreased substantially due to less delivery of properties.
Travel and related business
The turnover of this segment for the year reached approximately HK$16,439,000 (2011: HK$12,692,000).
Property rental, management and agency services
The turnover of this segment for the year was approximately HK$277,915,000 (2011: HK$240,837,000). The increase was due to the fact that more properties were available for leasing and managed by the Group.
Hotel operations
The turnover of this segment for the year was HK$143,016,000 (2011: 151,624,000). The decrease was due to that more hotels opened business during the year and therefore with greater competition.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX VIII
Foreign currency exposures
The operations of the Group were mainly carried out in the PRC with most transactions settled in RMB. The Group undertook certain transactions denominated in currencies other than RMB, hence exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arose. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents and senior loan notes were also exposed to such foreign currency risk. The Group did not use any derivative contracts to hedge against its exposure to currency risk. The Group managed its foreign currency risk by closely monitoring the movement of the foreign currency rate.
Employees
As at 31 December 2012, the Group employed approximately 1,680 employees (2011: 1,450 employees) in Hong Kong and the PRC. Staff costs including directors’ emoluments for the year ended 31 December 2012 amounted to approximately HK$153.43 million (2011: HK$182.48 million).

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX VIII
People’s Court in relation to disputes on asset damage and compensation and the alleged breach of pre-emptive rights in shareholding of Shanghai Haizhimen, a former associate with 35% equity interest held by the Group, initiated by Zhejiang Fosun Commerce Development Limited (“Zhejiang Fosun”).
Pursuant to the statement of claims issued by Zhejiang Fosun as attached to the document of summons, among others, (i) Shanghai Zendai Land and Shanghai Zendai Wudaokou were named as two of the defendants to the Claims; (ii) Zhejiang Fosun requested order be made to invalidate the agreement on disposal of Shanghai Zendai Wudaokou; (iii) Zhejiang Fosun requested order be made to invalidate the share transfer agreement relating to the transfer of the entire equity interests of Shanghai Zendai Wudaokou to an independent third party; and (iv) Zhejiang Fosun requested order be made such that the ownership of Shanghai Zendai Wudaokou be restated to the state prior to the transfer. (ii) to (iv) above are referred to as the “Claims”.
At the court hearing as regards the Claims on 29 November 2012, the court had awarded no judgment in relation to the Claims. At the final stage of the aforesaid court hearing, the parties to the Claims agreed to participate in mediation held by the court, whereupon the parties shall try to agree on solutions to the Claims and the court will further award a judgement if solutions may be reached. In the event no agreement has been reached by the parties to the Claims as regards the solutions, the court will finally award a judgment. As at the date of the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2012, no agreement has been reached by the parties to the Claims.
The directors, after seeking advice from the Group’s PRC legal adviser, King & Wood Mallesons, take the view that the disposal of Shanghai Zendai Wudaokou did not involve the transfer of equity interest in Shanghai Haizhimen and therefore did not constitute a breach of any pre-emptive rights. The directors consider the Claims were without bases and do not have any material adverse effect on the operation or financial position of the Group.
Future plans for material investments and acquisition of capital assets
Save as disclosed above, the Group did not have any specific plan for material investments and acquisition of material capital assets as at 31 December 2012.
For the year ended 31 December 2013
Review of operations
The results of the Group for the year under review was unsatisfactory mainly attributable to the absence of the one-off gain on the disposal of subsidiaries in last year and the increase of finance cost during the period. The turnover and profit for the year were mainly attributable to sales and delivery of residential and commercial units in Qingdao, Shanghai, Changchun, Jilin Haimen and the tax credit as a result of the reverse of over-provision of LAT and deferred tax in prior years. The Group continued to offer both residential and commercial properties for sales. Except for projects in Qingdao, Shanghai, Changchun and Haimen, the Group would commence pre-sale of the properties in Nanjing and in South Africa.

Future plans for material investments and acquisition of capital assets
Save as disclosed above, the Group did not have any specific plan for material investments and acquisition of material capital assets as at 31 December 2013.
For the year ended 31 December 2014
Review of operations
As the land and property projects acquired in the past 2 years were still in the planning and development stages and could not be launched into the market for sales and delivery, the turnover for the year were mainly attributable to sales and delivery of pre-existing residential and commercial projects in Qingdao Thumb Plaza, Xizhen, Jilin and Haimen.
The results of the Group for the year under review were unsatisfactory. Despite there was a tax credit of approximately HK$525 million due to the reverse of over provision of LAT in previous years, the Group still sustained substantial loss due to a specific provision for diminution in value of the property project under development in Ordos of approximately HK$321 million, substantial increase in finance cost, increase in the share of net loss of associates and joint venture companies and a significant decrease in turnover due to less properties were delivered during the year.
Liquidity, financial resources and gearing

GENERAL INFORMATION
instance judgment (the “Judgment”) and granted an order to (i) invalidate the agreement on disposal (“Wudaokou Disposal”) of Shanghai Zendai Wudaokou Property Company Limited (“Shanghai Zendai Wudaokou”); (ii) invalidate the share transfer agreement relating to the transfer of the entire equity interests of Shanghai Zendai Wudaokou to an independent third party; and (iii) restate the ownership of Shanghai Zendai Wudaokou within 15 days after the effective date of the Judgment to the state prior to the transfer. On 7 May 2013, an appeal (the “Appeal”) was lodged with the Higher People’s Court of Shanghai against the Judgment. Since the Appeal has been duly lodged, the Judgment cannot be enforced and will not become effective pending the results of the Appeal. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the results of the Appeal were still pending.

The Company’s PRC legal advisers, King & Wood Mallesons, consider that the legal grounds on which the Judgment was based are mistaken and are of the view that there are valid grounds for the Appeal and that the Company has a reasonable chance to win the Appeal. The Company considers that the Judgement does not have any material adverse effect on the operations or financial position of the Group. The Board, after consultation with the PRC legal advisers, King & Wood Mallesons, does not consider a need to make any provision in respect of the Appeal and Judgement, nor any impairment in respect of other receivables amounting to RMB100,000,000 in respect of outstanding portion of the consideration due from the Wudaokou Purchaser.
