On 17 January 2020, the Board resolved to seek the Proposed Mandate for conducting the Proposed Disposal by way of a public tender through SUAEE and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Reference is also made to the announcement of the Company dated 9 November 2019 in relation to, among other things, the appointment of Mr. Wang Letian (‘‘Mr. Wang‘‘)as an executive Director of the Company, the chairman of the Board, a member and the chairman of the nomination committee of the Board, a member of remuneration committee of the Board and an authorised representative of the Company for the purposes of the Listing Rules. Pursuant to the code of corporate governance adopted by the Company, Mr. Wang shall be re-elected at the SGM.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, (i) further details of the Proposed Disposal; (ii) financial information of the Group; (iii) pro forma financial information of the Remaining Group; (iv) the valuation report on the Properties issued by an independent valuer; (v) details of the Retiring Director proposed to be re-elected; and (vi) a notice convening the SGM together with the form of proxy.

THE PROPOSED DISPOSAL

On 17 January 2020, the Board resolved to seek the Proposed Mandate for conducting the Proposed Disposal by way of a public tender through SUAEE.

Assets to be disposed of

  • (i) the Sale Shares being the entire equity interest in the Disposal Company as at the Latest Practicable Date; and

  • (ii) the Sale Loans owed by the Disposal Group to Zendai Real Estate and its affiliated companies as at 31 December 2019.

Basis of Consideration and payment terms for the Proposed Disposal

The minimum bidding price for the Proposed Disposal is RMB1,582.9 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1,770.6 million), comprising (i) the consideration for the Sale Shares of RMB760.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$850.1 million); and (ii) the consideration for the Sale Loans of RMB822.9 million (equivalent to approximately HK$920.5 million).

The Consideration, i.e. the final consideration for the Proposed Disposal, will depend on the final bid price offered by the successful bidder, but in any event will be no less than the minimum bidding price.

The minimum bidding price, being the minimum total consideration for the Sale Shares and the Sale Loans, was determined with reference to (i) the Adjusted NAV as at 31 December 2019 of approximately RMB944.3 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1,056.3 million); (ii) the outstanding amount of the Sale Loans as at 31 December 2019 of approximately RMB822.9 million (equivalent to approximately HK$920.5 million); and (iii) the recent financial performance of the Disposal Group as further elaborated in the section headed ‘‘Reasons for and the benefits of the Proposed Disposal and the use of proceeds’’ below.

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The minimum bidding price represents a discount of approximately 10.4% to the aggregate value of the Adjusted NAV and the Sale Loans in the amount of approximately RMB1,767.2 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1,976.8 million). The Board considers that it is common to offer a moderate discount in order to increase the attractiveness of the public tender to potential bidders for a more competitive bid and is of the view that the minimum bidding price is fair and reasonable.

The Consideration shall be settled by the successful bidder in the following manner:

  • (i) as to 30% of the Consideration (inclusive of the earnest money in the amount of RMB50 million to be paid prior to the closing of the tender for the Proposed Disposal in order to become a potential bidder as required by SUAEE, which would be applied towards settling part of the Consideration) to be paid within 30 days (or such other date as may be agreed by the parties to the SPA) upon entering into the SPA;

  • (ii) as to 30% of the Consideration to be paid within 60 days (or such other date as may be agreed by the parties to the SPA) upon entering into the SPA; and

  • (iii) as to 40% of the Consideration to be paid within 90 days (or such other date as may be agreed by the parties to the SPA) upon entering into the SPA.

Completion of the Proposed Disposal shall only take place after the Consideration has been settled in full by the successful bidder in the above manner.

The Proposed Disposal will be carried out through SUAEE. SUAEE is a comprehensive equity exchange service institution approved by the Shanghai People’s Government(上海市人民 政府)and designated by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Shanghai Municipal Government(上海市國有資產監督管理委員會)to engage in the transfer of state-owned equities of central enterprises. For the avoidance of doubts, there are no specific rules under the tendering system of SUAEE which govern the deadlines for the Company to submit the tender notice and/or enter into the SPA and the number of times for the Company to extend the publication period of the tender notice. The timing of the public tender and the entering into of the SPA is subject to certain factors, including but not limited to whether the initial publication period of tender notice shall be extended upon expiry and the amount of time required for assessing the qualifications of the interested bidders which are in turn subject to the number of interested bidders, as well as further negotiations with the successful bidder for finalising all terms prior to the entering into of the SPA. According to the relevant rules of SUAEE, the publication period of tender notice shall last for not less than five working days and not more than one year. In the event that no qualified bidder is identified during the initial publication period, the Company would consider to extend such period taking into account of the aforesaid allowed duration.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

After obtaining the Shareholders’ approval for the Proposed Mandate at the SGM, it is estimated that the Group will commence the formal process of public tender for the Proposed Disposal by submission of a tender notice to SUAEE on or around 13 May 2020 setting out, inter alia, (i) the minimum bidding price for the Proposed Disposal; (ii) the principal terms of the tender; and (iii) qualification requirements of potential bidders. Once the tender notice for the Proposed Disposal is published, the publication period will commence and open for 20 days, during which the interested bidders may submit to SUAEE their applications for the bids. Upon expiry of the publication period and the receipt of the bidding prices from the qualified bidders, SUAEE will ultimately notify the Company the identity of the successful bidder who offers the highest bidding price among the interested bidders. Based on the normal tendering procedures under SUAEE, it is expected that the whole tender process for the Proposed Disposal (from the publication of the tender notice to the notification of the successful bidder) shall last for around 50 days. Subject to the uncertain factors as disclosed above and based on the Company’s estimates, it is expected that the Company will then enter into the SPA in relation to the Proposed Disposal with the successful bidder on or around 15 July 2020 and complete the Proposed Disposal in accordance with the terms and conditions of the SPA on or around 14 October 2020.

In the event that no qualified bidder is identified by the end of the tender process on or around 2 July 2020 (assuming no extension of the publication period), the Company shall (i) continue pursuing ways to dispose of the Disposal Group by private agreements through seeking suitable interested buyers or by public tender this year; (ii) look for suitable business partners to jointly develop the underlying projects of the Disposal Group; and (iii) establish a suitable plan on self-developing the underlying projects of the Disposal Group, while simultaneously look for suitable interested buyers and/or business partners.

Qualifications of bidders

The qualified bidders shall satisfy, amongst others, the following qualifications:

  1. the qualified bidder shall be financially sound and solvent;

  2. the qualified bidder shall have good business credibility;

  3. the qualified bidder shall be a validly established enterprise or a natural person, who shall have full civil capacity; and

  4. other qualifications stipulated under the laws and regulations of the PRC.

Conditions precedent to the Proposed Disposal

The entering into of the Proposed Disposal shall be conditional upon the Company having completed all filing procedures and obtained all necessary consents and approvals regarding the Proposed Disposal including the approval by the Shareholders in respect of the Proposed Mandate at the SGM. Completion of the Proposed Disposal shall be conditional upon the completion of the spin-off of the Excluded Company having been taken place.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

For the avoidance of doubt, the Proposed Mandate shall expire after three months following the obtaining of the Shareholders’ approval at the SGM, where the entering into of the SPA shall be taken place by then.

Once a successful bidder for the Sale Shares and the Sale Loans has been identified, the Company will thereupon become unconditionally obliged to enter into the SPA with such successful bidder for the Proposed Disposal and, subject to the terms and conditions thereunder, complete the Proposed Disposal. As such, the Company would not be able at the time to seek the approval of the Shareholders as required under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Board would like to seek the approval of the Proposed Mandate from the Shareholders at the SGM in advance so as to conduct the Proposed Disposal.

Spin-off of the Excluded Company

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Excluded Company was owned as to 70% by the Disposal Company. The Excluded Company is a company incorporated in the PRC in 2013 with limited liability and a registered capital of RMB150 million. The Excluded Company is principally engaged in property investments in Yantai city, Shandong Province, the PRC. As at 31 December 2019, the unaudited net asset value of the Excluded Company amounted to approximately HK$143.0 million. Considering that the property interest of the Excluded Company is located in Yantai city, Shandong Province, which is regionally different from that of the Disposal Group in Haimen city, Jiangsu Province, the Company considers that the exclusion of the Excluded Company may increase the attractiveness of the Proposed Disposal to those potential purchasers who are primarily interested in the development of the underlying projects of the Disposal Group in Haimen city, which is conducive to the implementation of the Proposed Disposal. Accordingly, it is intended that the Excluded Company shall be spun off from the Disposal Company in accordance with the relevant laws in the PRC for the Proposed Disposal such that the Excluded Company shall not be part of the disposal subjects under the tender.

INFORMATION ON THE DISPOSAL GROUP

The Disposal Company is a company incorporated in the PRC in 2003 with limited liability. The Disposal Group is principally engaged in the development of the Properties. The Properties are located in the Haimen Riverside New City District of Haimen city, the PRC, being in the south of Yangtze River, north of Haining Temple and east of the new administrative center and central business district in Haimen city. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Properties comprise of (i) the Undeveloped Land Parcels with a total site area of approximately 449,799 square metres; (ii) the Properties under Development and Properties for Sale with a total gross floor area of approximately 368,598 square metres; and (iii) the Industrial Land Parcels with a total site area of 133,336 square metres.

The following diagram sets out the structure of the Disposal Group as at the Latest Practicable Date:

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED DISPOSAL

Upon completion of the Proposed Disposal, each member of the Disposal Group will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company and each of their respective financial results, assets and liabilities will no longer be included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group. Assuming the final bid price will be equivalent to the minimum bidding price, the Group expects to record a gain from the Proposed Disposal of approximately RMB767.5 million (equivalent to approximately HK$858.5 million) (subject to audit), which is calculated with reference to (i) the difference between (a) the minimum bidding price of RMB1,582.9 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1,770.6 million) and (b) the aggregate of the unaudited net liabilities value of the Disposal Group as at 31 December 2019 of approximately RMB5.3 million (equivalent to approximately HK$5.9 million), the outstanding amount of the Sale Loans as at 31 December 2019 of approximately RMB822.9 million (equivalent to approximately HK$920.5 million) and, the consolidation adjustments including the capitalisation of borrowing cost allocated on the Disposal Group at the Group consolidation level of approximately RMB63.7 million (equivalent to approximately HK$71.2 million), and the purchase price allocation adjustments on business combinations (net of the associated deferred income tax impact) of approximately RMB8.1 million (equivalent to approximately HK$9.1 million); and (ii) the exchange gain to be released as a result of the Proposed Disposal from the foreign exchange reserve of the Group as at 31 December 2019 of approximately HK$82.8 million.

Shareholders should note that the aforementioned estimations are for illustrative purpose only and do not purport to represent how the financial position of the Remaining Group will be upon Completion. The actual amount of the gain from the Proposed Disposal to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements of the Group depends on, among others, the final bid price of the public tender, the net asset value of the Disposal Group and the then exchange rate for converting the amount of the Sale Loans dominated in RMB into HK$ on the date of completion of the Proposed Disposal, and therefore will be subject to final audit.

Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Remaining Group as set out in the Appendix IV to this circular, assuming the Proposed Disposal had been completed on 31 December 2019 (i) the Remaining Group’s total assets as at 31 December 2019 would have increased by approximately 3.2% from approximately HK$18,153.3 million to approximately HK$18,726.2 million, and (ii) the Remaining Group’s total liabilities as at 31 December 2019 would have decreased by approximately 0.9% from approximately HK$16,482.7 million to approximately HK$16,329.4 million.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSED DISPOSAL AND THE USE OF PROCEEDS

The Group is principally engaged in property development, property investment and provision of property management and hotel operation in the PRC. The Group currently has commercial property and residential projects in various cities in the PRC and majority of which are located in Shanghai and Nanjing. As disclosed in the results announcement of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2019, the Group continued adhere to its development strategy to extensively develop the first and second tier cities while gradually stripping off its business from the third and fourth tier cities by focusing on key development areas in first and second tier cities such as Shanghai and Nanjing. With the solid domestic presence in Shanghai and Nanjing built over the years, the Group will steadily expand across the country and launch new development projects within the core strategic areas to fully explore local market demands.

The Properties which comprise of the Undeveloped Land Parcels, the Properties under Development and Properties for Sale, and the Industrial Land Parcels, are located in Haimen Development Zone, which is close to the suburban area at Haimen city, Jiangsu province of the PRC, and were planned to be developed for residential, commercial and recreational use. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the investment by the Group on the Disposal Company since its establishment in 2003 has not yet been recovered. Further, the Disposal Group has continuously been loss making over the last few years. It is expected that upon completion of the Proposed Disposal, the Company would be able to enhance its working capital position and therefore reduces negative impacts on the Group. The location of the Properties, which is outside its key development areas, enables the Company to reallocate its resources to focus on other property development projects in the first and second tier cities which is in line with its business strategy.

Based on the above and the market conditions of Haimen city, the Group has had the intention to dispose of the Disposal Group and related works including the seeking of potential buyers was initiated. Prior to seeking the Proposed Mandate, no explicit potential buyers have been identified, The Company has made reference to its previous proposed major transaction in relation to the disposal of the Disposal Company and its subsidiaries to a private company established in the PRC, the relevant resolution of which was subsequently voted down by the majority of the Shareholders at the special general meeting, further details of which are set out in the circular of the Company dated 24 February 2017 and the announcement of the Company dated 14 March 2017. Save for the subsequent development and sale of certain properties of the Properties for Sale and Properties under Development by the Group, the underlying structure and subjects proposed to be disposed of in the Proposed Disposal are substantially similar to those of the previous proposed disposal, which principally include the Disposal Group holding the Undeveloped Land Parcels with the same total site area, the Industrial Land Parcels with the same total site area, and the Properties for Sale and Properties under Development under the same property projects erecting on the respective land parcels. Save for 廊坊市証合泰房地產有限公司 (Langfang City Zhenghetai Real Estate Co., Ltd.) and 江蘇証大商業文化發展有限公司 (Jiangsu Zendai Commercial Culture Development Co., Ltd.), the two companies excluded only from the

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

previous proposed disposal which, the then interests therein were disposed of by the Group in March 2018 and were de-registered by the Group in August 2019, respectively, the Excluded Company is excluded from both the previous proposed disposal and the Proposed Disposal. Taking into account that SUAEE is a property rights trading service institution approved by the Shanghai People’s Government and is specialised in providing a platform for the transfer of enterprise property rights, the Company is of the view that implementing the Proposed Disposal by public tender through SUAEE would allow the Group to, on one hand, leverage on the platform and network of SUAEE in order to attract more interested buyers to participate in the bid and therefore enhance the transparency and competitiveness, and on the other hand, to ensure that the identity of the final buyer as well as the Consideration would be determined on a fair and competitive basis governed by SUAEE.

On the basis that public tender is the only practical way to implement the Proposed Disposal based on the current circumstances as disclosed above, it would be impossible for the Company to seek Shareholders’ approval except by a prior mandate. As advised by the PRC Legal Adviser, based on the relevant rules for tendering non-state-owned property rights of SUAEE, transferor of the asset in the bid, being Myway Developments and Zendai Real Estate in respect of the Proposed Disposal, is required to submit its internal decision documents including the shareholders’ approval at the time of submitting its tender application through SUAEE, and therefore the Shareholders’ approval shall be obtained by the Company by then. Further, according to the standard sales and purchase contract in respect of property rights transfer through SUAEE, all procedures required for the purpose of executing the agreement being those relating to, among others, authorisations, approvals and internal decision-making of the transferor and the purchaser shall be legally valid at the time of executing the sales and purchase contract by the purchaser.

The Group’s gearing ratio recorded an increase from approximately 2.1 times as at 31 December 2018 to approximately 3.8 times as at 31 December 2019. As at 31 December 2019, the Group’s borrowings which were repayable within one year amounted to approximately HK$3,005.2 million. For the year ended 31 December 2019, the finance costs of the Group amounted to approximately HK$771.0 million of which approximately HK$243.4 million was attributable to bank borrowings. The Board considers that the proceeds from the Proposed Disposal could be used for repayment of partial bank borrowings, thereby improving the gearing of the Group, as well as reducing the relevant finance costs, which would enhance the financial performance of the Group.

Based on the minimum bidding price, the gross proceeds from the Proposed Disposal are expected to be approximately RMB1,582.9 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1,770.6 million) and net proceeds (after deducting the related transaction costs and expenses) are expected to be approximately RMB1,574.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1,760.7 million). The Group intends to apply the net proceeds as to approximately RMB1,270.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1,420.6 million) for repayment of bank borrowings and as to approximately RMB304.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$340.1 million) for general working capital of the Group.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Based on the above, the Directors considers that the public tender process would be the only practical way to dispose the Sale Shares and the Sale Loans based on the abovementioned circumstances, and in order to implement the Proposed Disposal by public tender through SUAEE, the seeking of the Proposed Mandate represents the only possible way for the Company to seek the approval from the Shareholders. The Directors also consider that the terms of the Proposed Disposal will be as normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

REPORT ON REVIEW OF HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF HAIMEN ZENDAI BINJIANG REAL ESTATE CO., LTD.

(incorporated in the People’s Republic of China with limited liability)

To the Board of Directors of Shanghai Zendai Property Limited

Introduction

We have reviewed the historical financial information set out on pages II-3 to II-20, which comprises the consolidated balance sheets of Haimen Zendai Binjiang Real Estate Co., Ltd. (the ‘‘Disposal Company’’) and its subsidiaries (together, the ‘‘Haimen Group’’) as at 31 December 2017, 2018 and 2019, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated cash flow statements for the each of the years ended 31 December 2017, 2018 and 2019 and explanatory notes (the ‘‘Historical Financial Information’’). The Historical Financial Information has been prepared solely for the purpose of inclusion in the circular to be issued by Shanghai Zendai Property Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) in connection with the disposal of the Company’s entire equity interest in Haimen Group excluding Yantai Zendai Thumb Property Co., Ltd.(煙台証大大拇指置業有限公司), which was owned as to 70% by the Disposal Company, in accordance with paragraph 14.68(2)(a)(i)(A) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ‘‘Listing Rule’’).

The directors of the Company are responsible for the presentation and preparation of the Historical Financial Information of the Haimen Group in accordance with the basis of presentation and preparation set out in Notes 2 and 3 to the Historical Financial Information and paragraph 14.68(2)(a)(i) of the Listing Rule. The directors are also responsible for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of Historical Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Historical Financial Information does not contain sufficient information to constitute a complete set of financial statements as defined in Hong Kong Accounting Standard 1 ‘‘Presentation of Financial Statements’’ or an interim financial report as defined in Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 ‘‘Interim Financial Reporting’’ issued by Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (‘‘HKICPA’’). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this Historical Financial Information based on our review and to report our conclusion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement and for no other purpose.

Scope of 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 HKICPA and with reference to Practice Note 750, Review of Financial Information under the Hong Kong Listing Rules for a Very Substantial Disposal issued by HKICPA. A review of the Historical 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.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Historical Financial Information of the Haimen Group for the relevant periods is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of presentation and preparation set out in Notes 2 and 3 to the Historical Financial Information.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE HAIMEN GROUP

APPENDIX II

  • c. The Historical Financial Information of the Haimen Group has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies adopted by the Group as set out in the annual report of the Company for the years ended 31 December 2017 and 2018 and the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2019. Except as described below, these policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented.

  • (i) New and amended standards adopted by the Haimen Group

The following new standards and amendments are mandatory for the financial year beginning on 1 January 2017 and are applicable for the Haimen Group:

  • Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses – Amendments to HKAS 12; and

  • Disclosure initiative – amendments to HKAS 7.

The adoption of these amendments has no significant impact to this Historical Financial Information.

The following new standards and amendments are mandatory for the financial year beginning on 1 January 2018 and are applicable for the Haimen Group:

  • Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (‘‘HKFRS’’) 9 ‘‘Financial Instruments’’;

  • HKFRS 15 ‘‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’’; and

  • Annual Improvements 2014-2016 cycle.

For details of the adoption of the HKFRS 9 and HKFRS 15, please refer to Note 4 below. The adoption of the abovementioned annual improvements has no impact on this Historical Financial Information.

The following new standards are mandatory for the financial year beginning on 1 January 2019 and are applicable for the Haimen Group:

  • HKFRS 16 ‘‘Leases’’.

Based on the assessment by the directors of the Haimen Group, the adoption of HKFRS 16 has no impact on this Historical Financial Information as the Haimen Group does not have any lease arrangement.

II – 13

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE HAIMEN GROUP

APPENDIX II

(ii) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 31 December 2019 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Haimen Group. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the Haimen Group in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

4 Changes in accounting policies and disclosures

New and amended standards adopted by the Haimen Group

The Haimen Group has adopted HKFRS 9 and HKFRS 15 by using the modified retrospective approach since 1 January 2018, which led to changes in certain of the accounting policies as described below:

HKFRS 9

The Haimen Group has assessed the business model and the terms relating to the collection of contractual cash flows applicable to the financial assets held by the Group at the date of initial application of HKFRS 9 and concluded that there is no impact on classification of financial assets.

The Haimen Group has revised its impairment methodology according to HKFRS 9 for its trade and other receivables including amounts due from related companies. The Haimen Group applies the general model for expected credit losses as prescribed by HKFRS 9. The financial assets of the Haimen Group primarily comprised of other receivables and amounts due from related parties with minimal credit risk and hence the revision in the impairment methodology has not resulted in any significant financial impact on the Haimen Group.

HKFRS 15

HKFRS 15 replaces the provisions of HKAS 18 Revenue (‘‘HKAS 18’’) and HKAS 11 Construction contracts (‘‘HKAS 11’’) that relate to the recognition, classification and measurement of revenue and costs.

The effects of the adoption of HKFRS 15 are as follows:

Accounting for property development activities

In prior reporting periods, the Haimen Group accounted for property development activities when significant risk and rewards of ownership has been transferred to the customers on delivery in its entirety at a single time upon vacant possession and not continuously as construction progresses.

II – 14

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE HAIMEN GROUP

APPENDIX II

Under HKFRS 15, when the properties that have no alternative use to the Haimen Group due to contractual reasons and the Haimen Group has an enforceable right to payment from the customers for performance completed to date, the Haimen Group recognises revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied over time in accordance with the input method for measuring progress.

The excess of cumulative revenue recognised in profit or loss over the cumulative billings to purchasers of properties is recognised as contract assets. The contract assets will be reclassified as receivables when the progress billings are issued or properties are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.

The excess of cumulative billings to purchasers of properties over the cumulative revenue recognised in profit or loss is recognised as contract liabilities. The contract liability is recognised as revenue when the Haimen Group satisfies its performance obligations.

Accounting for significant financing component

For contracts where the period between the payment by the customer and the transfer of the promised property or service exceeds one year, the transaction price is adjusted for the effects of a financing component, if significant.

Presentation of contract liabilities

Reclassifications were made as at 1 January 2018 to be consistent with the terminology used under HKFRS 15:

Contract liabilities for progress billing recognised in relation to property development activities were previously presented as receipts in advance from customers.

II – 15

The impacts of the adoption of HKFRS 15 on the Historical Financial Information are as follows:

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE REMAINING GROUP

APPENDIX III

After the Proposed Disposal, the Remaining Group will continue to carry out the existing business. Set out below is the management discussion and analysis of the Remaining Group for each of the financial years ended 31 December 2017 (‘‘FY2017’’), 31 December 2018 (‘‘FY2018’’) and 31 December 2019 (the ‘‘FY2019’’).

(I) FOR THE FY 2019

For the year ended 31 December 2019, the Remaining Group’s consolidated turnover from continuing operations amounted to approximately HK$1,311.59 million (2018: approximately HK$7,130.81 million), which mainly comprised revenue from sale of properties of approximately HK$816.64 million (2018: approximately HK$6,647.88 million), revenue from hotel operation of approximately HK$133.98 million (2018: approximately HK$159.85 million), revenue from properties rental, management and agency services of approximately HK$360.97 million (2018: approximately HK$323.09 million).

The substantial decrease in turnover of the Remaining Group for the year ended 31 December 2019 was due to that substantially less property were delivered as compared to the previous. The loss of the Remaining Group increased from approximately HK$974.19 million for the year ended 31 December 2018 to approximately HK$1,054.46 million for the year ended 31 December 2019. This was mainly attributable to a substantial decline in turnover and gross profit during the year.

For sale of properties, segment turnover amounted to approximately HK$816.64 million, decreasing by approximately 88% from approximately HK$6,647.88 million for the year ended 31 December 2018 and segment loss before income tax expenses amounted to approximately HK$336.21 million for the year ended 31 December 2019, reversing from segment profit before income tax expenses amounted to approximately HK$145.57 million in previous year. The substantial decreases in segment turnover and the reversal from segment profit in year ended 31 December 2018 to segment loss in year ended 31 December 2019 were due to the substantial decrease in the areas of the property to be delivered to purchaser and recognised as turnover and therefore insufficient to cover the charges and expenses.

For hotel operations, segment turnover amounted to approximately HK$133.98 million, decreasing by approximately 16% from approximately HK$159.85 million for the year ended 31 December 2018. The decrease was due to the decrease in the total number of operable hotel rooms as a result of renovation of certain hotel rooms. Segment loss before income tax expenses amounted to approximately HK$15.14 million, decreasing by approximately 27% from approximately HK$20.73 million. The decreases in segment loss was due to the decrease of share of loss of an associate.

APPENDIX III

Gearing ratio

The gearing ratio of the Remaining Group increased from 2.11 times at 31 December 2018 to 4.03 times at 31 December 2019 (basis: net debts, which is defined as total amounts of borrowings and loans, amounts due to minority owners of subsidiaries and lease liabilities less cash and cash equivalent and pledged bank deposits, divided by equity attributable to owners of the Company). The increase in the gearing ratio was mainly due to decrease in shareholders’ fund as a result of the continuing record of loss for the year ended 31 December 2019.

Exchange rate and interest rate risks exposure

The Remaining Group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies, hence exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. The Remaining Group’s cash and cash equivalents are also exposed to such foreign currency risk.

The Remaining Group’s fair value interest rate risk relates primarily to its fixed rate borrowings and payables and restricted bank deposits. The Remaining Group currently does not utilize any financial instruments to hedge its exposure to interest rate risk. However, management will consider hedging significant interest rate exposure should the need arise.

For the year ended 31 December 2018, the Remaining Group’s consolidated turnover was approximately HK$7,130.81 million (2017: approximately HK$2,927.88 million), which mainly comprised revenue from sale of properties of approximately HK$6,647.88 million (2017: approximately HK$2,414.92 million), revenue from hotel operation of approximately HK$159.85 million (2017: approximately HK$166.26 million) and revenue from properties rental, management and agency services of approximately HK$323.09 million (2017: approximately HK$346.69 million).

The increase in turnover of the Remaining Group for the year ended 31 December 2018 was mainly due to the acquisition of the remaining equity interests of 南京証大大拇指商業發展有限 公司 (Nanjing Thumb Commercial Development Co., Ltd*, ‘‘Nanjing Zendai’’) by the Remaining Group in December 2017, in which the turnover of Nanjing Zendai of approximately HK$2,564.95 million was consolidated during the year (2017: approximately HK$23.09 million) and the initial delivery of the second phase of Riverside Thumb Plaza in Nanjing.

For hotel operations, segment turnover amounted to approximately HK$159.85 million, decreasing by approximately 4% from approximately HK$166.26 million for the year ended 31 December 2017 which remained stable. Segment loss before income tax expenses amounted to approximately HK$20.73 million, reversing from segment profit before income tax expenses amounted to approximately HK$8.37 million.

The applicable criteria on the basis of which the directors have compiled the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information are described on pages IV-11 to IV-17.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled by the directors to illustrate the impact of the Proposed Disposal on the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2019 and the Group’s financial performance and cash flows for the year ended 31 December 2019 as if the Proposed Disposal had taken place at 31 December 2019 and 1 January 2019 respectively. As part of this process, information about the Group’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows has been extracted by the directors from the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 as set out in the published annual results announcement and the supplemental announcement in relation to the annual results announcement. An audit report has been issued on the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The directors are responsible for compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ‘‘Listing Rules’’) and with reference to Accounting Guideline 7 Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars (‘‘AG 7’’) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (‘‘HKICPA’’).

Our Independence and Quality Control

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the HKICPA, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour.

Our firm applies Hong Kong Standard on Quality Control 1 issued by the HKICPA and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Reporting Accountant’s Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by paragraph 4.29(7) of the Listing Rules, on the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information and to report our opinion to you. We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3420, Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus, issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that the reporting accountant plans and performs procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the directors have compiled the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules and with reference to AG 7 issued by the HKICPA.

For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.

IV – 2

APPENDIX IV

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE REMAINING GROUP

The purpose of unaudited pro forma financial information included in a circular is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant event or transaction on unadjusted financial information of the entity as if the event had occurred or the transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the Proposed Disposal at 31 December 2019 and 1 January 2019 would have been as presented.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the unaudited pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the directors in the compilation of the unaudited pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

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

  • The unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.

The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountant’s judgment, having regard to the reporting accountant’s understanding of the nature of the company, the event or transaction in respect of which the unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the unaudited pro forma financial information.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion:

  • (a) the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been properly compiled by the directors of the Company on the basis stated;

  • (b) such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Group; and

  • (c) the adjustments are appropriate for the purposes of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information as disclosed pursuant to paragraph 4.29(1) of the Listing Rules.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE REMAINING GROUP

  1. The amounts are extracted from the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2019, the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the consolidated cash flow statement of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2019 as set out in the published annual results announcement and the supplemental announcement in relation to the annual results announcement of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2019.

  2. The following pro forma adjustments have been made to the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet, assuming the Proposed Disposal had taken place on 31 December 2019:

  3. (a) The adjustments represent the de-recognition of assets and liabilities of the Haimen Group as at 31 December 2019, assuming the Proposed Disposal had taken place on 31 December 2019. The assets and liabilities of the Haimen Group are extracted from the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Haimen Group as at 31 December 2019.

  4. (b) The adjustments represent the add-back of assets and liabilities of the Excluded Company as at 31 December 2019 which are not included in the Proposed Disposal, assuming the Proposed Disposal had taken place on 31 December 2019. The assets and liabilities of the Excluded Company are extracted from the unaudited balance sheet of the Excluded Company as at 31 December 2019.

  5. (c) The amounts represent the impact of the following consolidation adjustments which were previously recognised by the Group at consolidation level and should be reflected as pro forma adjustments for the purpose of the Proposed Disposal:

    • (i) the capitalisation of Group’s general borrowing costs on the qualifying assets of the Disposal Company (i.e. properties under development and completed properties held-for-sale) at the Group consolidation level; and

    • (ii) the purchase price allocation adjustments in increasing the carrying amounts of the qualifying assets of the Disposal Company (i.e. properties under development and completed properties held-for-sale) as arised from the Group’s acquisition of the controlling interests in the Disposal Company in 2005, net of the associated deferred income tax liabilities.

  • (iii) The amount represents the carrying amount of net assets of the Haimen Group as at 31 December 2019, which is extracted from the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Haimen Group as at 31 December 2019.

  • (iv) The amount represents the carrying amount of net assets of the Excluded Company as at 31 December 2019, which is extracted from the unaudited balance sheet of the Excluded Company as at 31 December 2019.

  • (v) The amount represents the balance of amounts due to the minority shareholder of the Excluded Company as included in the liabilities of the Haimen Group as at 31 December 2019, which will not be included in the Proposed Disposal.

  • (vi) Assume that the Company completed the transfer out of the Excluded Company through disposing the equity interest of the Excluded Company owned by the Disposal Company to another PRC incorporated subsidiary within the Remaining Group at Nil cost (the ‘‘Transfer’’) prior to the Proposed Disposal. Given the Disposal Company has sufficient available unrecognised tax losses brought forward to offset any taxable profit arising from the Transfer, no additional tax cost has been reflected as a pro forma adjustment for such intra-group transfer of the Excluded Company within the Group.

  • (vii) The amount due to the Remaining Group as recognised in the books of the Disposal Group as at 31 December 2019 is unsecured, interest-free and has no fixed term of repayment. The amount will become an amount due to the new owner of the Disposal Group upon the completion of the Proposal Disposal and hence have to be considered in calculating the estimated net gain on the Proposed Disposal.

  - (viii) The estimated transaction costs attributable to the Proposed Disposal represent the costs and expenses directly incurred for the Proposed Disposal, which will be borne by the Group and are assumed to be settled in cash.

  - (ix) The estimated stamp duty in relation to the Proposed Disposal represents the PRC stamp tax duty, which is calculated by applying the tax rate of 0.05% to the Consideration.

  - (x) Estimated income tax in relation to the gain on the Proposed Disposal represents the PRC enterprise income tax as calculated based on a tax rate of 25% (applicable to the PRC incorporated shareholder of the Disposal Company) and the withholding tax as calculated based on a tax rate of 10% (applicable to the foreign incorporated shareholder of the Disposal Company) on the estimated taxable disposal gain attributable to the respective shareholders of the Disposal Company arising from the disposal of their equity interests in the Disposal Company.

Method of Valuation

In valuing the Properties in Group I, which are held by Disposal Group for sale in the PRC, we have adopted Direct Comparison Approach by making reference to comparable sales evidences as available in the relevant market; or where appropriate, by Investment Approach by capitalisation of the rental derived from the existing tenancies with due allowance for reversionary rental potential of the Properties; or where appropriate, by Depreciated Replacement Cost Approach which requires valuation of the market value of the land in existing use and an estimate of the new replacement cost of the buildings and structures, from which deductions are made to allow for the age, condition and functional obsolescence.

In valuing the Properties in Group II, which are held by Disposal Group for development in the PRC, we have adopted Direct Comparison Approach by making reference to comparable sales evidences as available in the relevant market; or where appropriate, we have also taken into account the expended construction costs as provided to us.

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 HKIS Valuation Standards 2017.

Source of Information

We have been provided by the Company with extracts of documents in relation to the title to the Properties. However, we have not inspected the original documents to ascertain any amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us. In the course of our valuations, we have relied to a considerable extent on the information given by the Company in respect of the Properties in the PRC and have accepted advice on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenure, identification of the Properties, tenancy details, development scheme, construction cost, site and floor areas and all other relevant matters. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation report are based on the information provided to us and are therefore only approximations.

Title Investigation

We have been provided with copies of documents in relation to the current title to the Properties. However, we have not been able to conduct search to verify the ownership of the Properties or to ascertain any amendment which may not appear on the copies handed to us. We are also unable to ascertain the title of the Properties in the PRC and we have therefore relied on the advice given by the PRC Legal adviser and the Company.

Site Inspection

Our Shanghai Office valuer, Simon Sun, has inspected the exterior and, wherever possible, the interior of the Properties in November 2019. However, no structural survey has been made, but in the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects. We are not able to report whether the Properties are free of rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No test was carried out on any of the services. Moreover, we have not carried out investigation on site to determine the suitability of the soil conditions and the services etc. for any future development. Our valuations are prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary costs or delays will be incurred during the construction period.

Unless otherwise stated, we have not carried out 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 the documents handed to us are correct.

NOTICE OF SGM

  1. The Company notes the public preventive and control measures that the Hong Kong Government has implemented on prevention of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), including the implementation of the Prevention and Control of Disease (Prohibition on Group Gathering) Regulation (Chapter 599G of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the ‘‘Regulation’’), and the guidance issued by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission and the Stock Exchange in the Joint Statement in relation to General Meetings in light of the Regulation dated 1 April 2020 (the ‘‘Joint Statement’’). As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Regulation is set to expire after 11 April 2020.

The Company supports these public preventive and control measures implemented by the Hong Kong Government. The Company notes that in the event the specified period of the Regulation is extended after Latest Practicable Date to include the date of the SGM, having considered the impact of the Regulation (based on the provisions in the Regulation as at the Latest Practicable Date) and the guidance in the Joint Statement, the SGM shall proceed as scheduled.

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 13 February 2020 explaining that public tender is the only practical way to implement the Proposed Disposal and that it would be impossible for the Company to seek Shareholders’ approval except by a prior mandate. Accordingly, taking into account all facts and circumstances, the Board considers that the resolution to approve the Proposed Disposal at the SGM is urgent and important to the Company and is in line with the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

As the highest applicable percentage ratio (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Proposed Disposal is above 75%, the Proposed Disposal constitutes a very substantial disposal of the Company and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

The Company will continue to monitor the situation and, if appropriate, will make further announcement(s).

  1. In compliance with the Hong Kong Government’s directive on social distancing, personal and environmental hygiene, and the guidelines issued by the Centre for Health Protection of the Department of Health on the prevention of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the Company will implement additional precautionary measures at the SGM including, without limitation:

  2. compulsory body temperature screening – any person with a body temperature of over 37.5 degrees Celsius may be denied entry into the SGM venue or be required to leave the SGM venue;

  3. mandatory use of surgical face masks;

  4. mandatory health declaration – anyone subject to quarantine, has any flu-like symptoms or has travelled overseas within 14 days immediately before the SGM (‘‘recent travel history’’), or has close contact with any person under quarantine or with recent travel history will not be permitted to attend the SGM;

  5. no distribution of corporate gift and provision of refreshments;

  6. anyone attending the SGM is reminded to observe good personal hygiene at all times; and

  7. appropriate distancing and spacing in line with the guidance from the Hong Kong Government will be maintained and as such, the Company may limit the number of attendees at the SGM as may be necessary to avoid over-crowding.

SGM – 3
