LETTER FROM THE BOARD
INTENTION OF THE OFFEROR AND THE PURCHASERS IN RELATION TO THE GROUP
Your attention is drawn to the section headed “INTENTION OF THE OFFEROR AND THE PURCHASERS IN RELATION TO THE GROUP” in the letter from Shenyin Wanguo set out in this Composite Document for intentions of the Offeror and the Purchasers regarding the Group.
The Board notes the intention of the Offeror and the Purchasers in relation to the Group, is willing to render co-operation with the Offeror and the Purchasers and would continue to act in the best interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.
RECOMMENDATION
Rule 2.8 of the Takeovers Code requires the Company to establish an independent committee of the Board to give a recommendation to the Independent Shareholders on the Offer and that such independent committee should comprise all the non-executive Directors who have no direct or indirect interest in the Offer other than as a Shareholder. Mr. Du was the chairman of Foshan Public Utilities from July 2006 to December 2008 and is currently a 調研員 (senior consultant[#] ) of Foshan Public Utilities. Foshan Public Utilities, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Foshan Overseas Investment Limited (佛山海外投資有限公司*), holds the entire issued share capital of the Vendor. In view of the role of Mr. Du in Foshan Public Utilities, the Directors consider that it is more appropriate that Mr. Du does not sit on the Independent Board Committee. Accordingly, the Independent Board Committee comprising all the independent non-executive Directors has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Offer, in particular as to whether the Offer is, or is not, fair and reasonable and as to its acceptance.
The Independent Financial Adviser has been appointed by the Company after approval by the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Offer and in particular as to whether the Offer is, or is not, fair and reasonable and as to its acceptance.

To the Independent Shareholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
UNCONDITIONAL MANDATORY CASH OFFERS BY SHENYIN WANGUO SECURITIES (H.K.) LIMITED ON BEHALF OF PROFIT UNITED INVESTMENTS LIMITED FOR ALL THE ISSUED SHARES IN WINTEAM PHARMACEUTICAL GROUP LIMITED (OTHER THAN THOSE ALREADY OWNED OR AGREED TO BE ACQUIRED BY PROFIT UNITED INVESTMENTS LIMITED AND PARTIES ACTING IN CONCERT WITH IT)
We refer to the Composite Document dated 17 June 2011 jointly issued by the Company and the Offeror, of which this letter forms part. Terms defined in the Composite Document shall bear the same meanings when used herein unless the context requires otherwise.
We have been appointed to constitute the Independent Board Committee to consider the terms of the Offer and to advise you as to whether, in our opinion, the terms of the Offer are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and as to its acceptance. Haitong International Capital Limited has been appointed as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise us and the Independent Shareholders in this respect, details of its advice and the principal factors and reasons taken into consideration in arriving at its recommendation are set out in the letter from the Independent Financial Adviser set out on pages 22 to 40 of the Composite Document.
We also wish to draw your attention to the letter from the Board, the letter from Shenyin Wanguo and the additional information set out in the appendices to this Composite Document.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE
Taking into account the terms of the Offer and the independent advice from the Independent Financial Adviser, we consider that the terms of the Offer are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and accordingly, we recommend the Independent Shareholders can consider accepting the Offer.
However, in the event that the market price of the Shares exceeds the Offer Price during the Offer Period and the sales proceeds of such sale (net of all transaction costs) exceed the net amount receivable under the Offer, the Independent Shareholders should consider selling the Shares in the open market if they are able to do so given that the trading volume of the Shares was relatively thin during the Review Period (as defined in the “Letter from the Independent Financial Adviser” in this Composite Document) and any realization of significant number of Shares in the market might exert downward pressure on the market price of the Shares.
Independent Shareholders are strongly advised that their decision to realize or to hold their investments in the Shares depends on their own individual circumstances and investment objectives as well as their judgments on the overall development of the pharmaceutical industry and the business development and performance of the Group. For those Independent Shareholders who wish to retain some or all their Shares should note that it is the intention of the Offeror and the Purchasers, in particular, to maintain the listing of the Shares on the Stock Exchange after the close of the Offer and to continue the Group’s existing principal business as well as the financial performance of the Group which has been improving since Mr. Yang and Mr. Xu have become the executive Directors.
Independent Shareholders are also reminded and encouraged to monitor the market activities closely and note that there is no certainty that the current trading volume and/or current trading price level of the Shares will be sustainable during or after the Offer Period. Also, the Independent Shareholders are recommended to consult their own professional advisers if they are in doubt as to the taxation implications of accepting or rejecting the Offer.
Yours faithfully,
The Independent Board Committee

Dear Sirs,
UNCONDITIONAL MANDATORY CASH OFFER BY SHENYIN WANGUO SECURITIES (H.K.) LIMITED FOR AND ON BEHALF OF PROFIT UNITED INVESTMENTS LIMITED FOR ALL THE ISSUED SHARES IN WINTEAM PHARMACEUTICAL GROUP LIMITED (OTHER THAN THOSE ALREADY OWNED OR AGREED TO BE ACQUIRED BY PROFIT UNITED INVESTMENTS LIMITED AND PARTIES ACTING IN CONCERT WITH IT)
INTRODUCTION
We refer to our appointment as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders with respect to the terms of the Offer, details of which are set out in the Composite Document addressed to the Shareholders dated 17 June 2011, of which this letter forms part. Terms used in this letter shall have the same respective meanings as those defined in the Composite Document unless the context otherwise requires.
The Offeror and the Company jointly announced on 27 May 2011 in relation to the sale and purchase of the Sale Shares pursuant to the S&P Agreement dated 19 May 2011 and the Offer. Pursuant to the S&P Agreement, the Vendor has agreed to sell 605,290,886 Shares and each of Profit Channel and Extra Benefit has agreed to acquire 302,645,443 Shares. The total consideration for the Sale Shares of HK$680,952,246.75 (or HK$1.125 per Sale Share) has been and will be settled in cash as follows: (i) the First Instalment (representing 30% of
– 22 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
the Consideration) of HK$204,285,674.03 was paid by the Purchasers to the Vendor upon signing of the S&P Agreement; and (ii) the remaining 70% of the Consideration of HK$476,666,572.72 will be payable by the Purchasers at Completion. The S&P Agreement is unconditional and the Completion shall take place on or before 18 October 2011, being the date falling on the expiry of the five-month period after the date of the S&P Agreement when the remaining 70% of the Consideration is settled by the Purchasers in cash.
An irrevocable undertaking has been given by the Vendor in favour of the Purchasers as one of the terms of the S&P Agreement pursuant to which the relevant voting rights attached to 181,587,266 Shares, representing approximately 30% of the Sale Shares, are vested upon the Purchasers during the Undertaking Period. Upon the execution of the Undertaking, the total voting rights in percentage vested upon the Purchasers and the parties acting in concert with them will increase by approximately 10.18% from approximately 40.32% to approximately 50.50%. Pursuant to Rule 26.1(d) of the Takeovers Code, the Offeror and parties acting in concert with it are mandatorily required to make the Offer for all the issued Shares (other than those already owned or agreed to be acquired by the Offeror and parties acting in concert with it).
The Offer is unconditional and is therefore not conditional upon any minimum level of acceptances being received nor subject to other conditions. However, as set out in the paragraph headed “The Undertaking” in the Joint Announcement, in the event that the S&P Agreement is terminated, the Undertaking will lapse and the Vendor will no longer have to vote at any general meeting of the Company in accordance with the written instruction given by the Purchasers in respect of the voting rights attached to 181,587,266 Shares. Accordingly, the total voting rights of the Company in percentage vested upon the Vendor will restore from approximately 23.76% back to approximately 33.94%. In this case, the Vendor will not be mandatorily required to make any conditional mandatory general offer under the Takeovers Code.
The Offeror is an investment holding company incorporated in the BVI with limited liability and is owned as to 50% by Mr. Yang, who is one of the two directors of the Offeror and the managing director and an executive director of the Company, and as to 50% by Mr. Xu, who is another director of the Offeror, and the executive deputy chairman and an executive director of the Company). The Offeror has not conducted any business since its incorporation on 19 April 2011. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Offeror did not own any Share.
Pursuant to Rule 2.8 of the Takeovers Code, the Company is required to establish an independent committee of the Board to give a recommendation to the Independent Shareholders on the Offer and that such independent committee of the Board should comprise all the non-executive Directors who have no direct or indirect interest in the Offer other than as a Shareholder. Mr. Du was the chairman of Foshan Public Utilities from July 2006 to December 2008 and is currently a 調研員 (senior consultant#) of Foshan Public Utilities. Foshan Public Utilities, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Foshan Overseas Investment Limited (佛山海外投資有限公司*), holds the entire issued share capital of the Vendor. In view of the role of Mr. Du in Foshan Public Utilities, the Directors consider that it is more appropriate that Mr. Du does not sit on the Independent Board Committee. Accordingly, the Independent Board Committee comprising all of the four independent

non-executive Directors, namely Mr. LO Wing Yat, Mr. PANG Fu Keung, Mr. WANG Bo and Mr. ZHANG Jianhui, has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders whether the terms of the Offer are fair and reasonable and as to its acceptance. We, Haitong International Capital Limited, have been appointed by the Independent Board Committee as the Independent Financial Adviser to provide the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders with an independent opinion as to whether the terms of the Offer are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and to give a recommendation whether the Independent Shareholders should accept the Offer.
BASIS OF OUR OPINION
In formulating our recommendation, we have relied on the information, financial information and facts supplied to us and representations expressed by the Directors and/or management of the Group and have assumed that all such information, financial information and facts and any representations made to us, or referred to in the Composite Document, in all material aspects, are true, accurate and complete as at the time they were made and throughout the Offer Period (and should there be any material changes thereto, Shareholders would be notified as soon as possible), have been properly extracted from the relevant underlying accounting records (in the case of financial information) and made after due and careful inquiry by the Directors and/or the management of the Group. The Directors and/or the management of the Group have confirmed that, after having made all reasonable enquiries and to the best of their knowledge and belief, all relevant information has been supplied to us and that no material facts have been omitted from the information supplied and representations expressed to us.
We have also relied on certain information available to the public and have assumed such information to be accurate and reliable. We have no reason to doubt the completeness, truth or accuracy of the information and facts provided and we are not aware of any facts or circumstances which would render such information provided and representations made to us untrue, inaccurate or misleading. We have not, however, conducted any independent verification of the information nor have we conducted any form of in-depth investigation into the businesses, affairs, financial position or prospects of the Group or the Offeror and the parties acting in concert with it. Our review and analyses were based upon, among others, the information provided by the Company including the annual report of the Company for each of the financial year ended 31 December 2010 (the “2010 Annual Report”) and 31 December 2009 (the “2009 Annual Report”), the Composite Document and certain published information of the Group.
We have not considered the tax implications, if any, on the Independent Shareholders of their acceptances or non-acceptances of the Offer since these are particular to their own individual circumstances. In particular, the Independent Shareholders who are residents outside Hong Kong or subject to overseas taxes or Hong Kong taxation on securities dealings should consider their own tax position with regard to the Offer and, if any doubt should consult their own professional advisers.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

(“DZH”) and 佛 山馮了性藥業有限公司 (Foshan Feng Liao Xing Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) (“FLX”). The performance of the Group was further improved after it acquired 100% interest in Smartpoint International Limited and its subsidiaries (the “Smartpoint Group”) on 6 February 2009. Such acquisition resulted in Sureplan Limited, a company owned as to 25% by First Linkup Development Limited, 50% by Profit Channel and 25% by Extra Benefit, each of which is in turn wholly owned by Mr. Wu Chiu Kong (who is a director of Sureplan Limited and is presumed to be acting in concert with the Purchasers as stated in the “Letter from the Board” contained in the Composite Document), Mr. Yang and Mr. Xu respectively, becoming a controlling Shareholder. On the same day, Mr. Yang was appointed as an executive Director and has been the managing director of the Company since 11 February 2009. Mr. Xu was appointed as an executive Director on 10 June 2009 and has been the executive deputy chairman of the Company since 30 July 2009. Since Mr. Yang and Mr. Xu became the executive Directors, the Group further acquired certain companies as set out in the table below.

As stated in the 2009 Annual Report, the Group recorded an increase in turnover from approximately HK$443.53 million in the year 2008 to approximately HK$670.18 million in the year 2009 (representing an increase of approximately 51.10%) mainly attributable to the consolidation of the results of the entire interests in the Smartpoint Group after it was acquired in February 2009. The Smartpoint Group’s high gross profit margin products also enhanced the product mix of the Group which led to the increase of the Group’s gross profit margin from approximately 35.68% in the year 2008 to approximately 48.15% in the year 2009. The profit for the year increased from approximately HK$48.47 million in the year 2008 to approximately HK$68.23 million in the year 2009 (representing an increase of approximately 40.76%) while the profit for the year attributable to equity Shareholders increased from approximately HK$20.33 million in the year 2008 to approximately HK$44.05 million in the year 2009 (representing an increase of approximately 116.69%).
As stated in the 2010 Annual Report, the Group recorded an increase in turnover from approximately HK$670.18 million in the year 2009 to approximately HK$939.18 million in the year 2010 (representing an increase of approximately 40.14%). It was mainly attributable to (i) the consolidation of the results of the 100% equity interests in Nanhai Pharmaceutical in late 2009 which facilitated the Group in reducing the purchasing costs of medical materials; and (ii) increase in sales volume in 2010 of “Yupingfeng Granule”(玉屏鳳顆粒)and “Biyankang Tablet” (鼻炎康片) which are patented products manufactured exclusively by the Group (since Smartpoint Group and DZH were acquired in early 2009 and late 2006, respectively) and listed on the National Essential Drugs List issued by the State Council of the PRC on 18 August 2009. The Group’s gross profit margin increased from approximately 48.15% in the year 2009 to approximately 55.78% in the year 2010. The profit for the year increased from approximately HK$68.23 million in the year 2009 to approximately HK$86.08

1.3 Business prospect of the Group
As stated in the 2010 Annual Report, the Company believes that the improvement of living standard in the PRC will lead to the continuous increase in spending on medical needs. Together with the full implementation of the Essential Drugs System in 2010 and the continuous investment in the medical reform by various levels of governments, the market share of National Essential Drugs (over 50 items on which are manufactured by the Group) released by the State Council of the PRC is expected to increase. Accordingly, the Directors are optimistic on the growth of pharmaceutical industry in future. Nevertheless, Foshan Public Utilities (whose ultimate beneficial owner is 佛山市人民政府 (Foshan Municipal People’s Government)) through Vendor disposed the Sale Shares to the Purchasers mainly because it would like to focus on its current public utility businesses as advised by a Director who has made relevant enquiries to the Vendor. We consider that the Group’s financial performance in respect of both the profit for the year and total equity attributable to equity Shareholders has

With respect to one of the Group’s future strategy, it intends to capitalize on the rich traditional Chinese medicine resources of FLX and DZH and strive to establish its corporate image as “King of Lingnan Medicine” in the PRC.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
As illustrated in the above table, the trading volume of the Shares was generally thin across the Review Period and the average daily turnover of the Shares varied between approximately 0.18% to approximately 1.05% of the total number of Offer Shares. Nevertheless, the daily turnover of the Shares had a relative increase in the below month: (i) in May 2010 after the Company published announcements in relation to the completion of acquisition of An Ning Group and the subscription of new Shares, the highest daily turnover for May 2010 reached approximately 14.1 million Shares (representing approximately 3.1% of the Offer Shares); (ii) in December 2010 and January 2011 after the Company published the First Announcement and an announcement in relation to the completion of acquisition of Zhong Hong Group, the highest daily turnover for these two months reached approximately 17.9 million Shares and approximately 18.1 million Shares respectively (representing approximately 3.9% and approximately 4.0% of the Offer Shares respectively); (iii) in May 2011, during which the Company published the Joint Announcement, the highest daily turnover for this month reached approximately 9.0 million Shares (representing approximately 2.0% of the Offer Shares). Although it was noted that the trading volume of the Shares on 30 May 2011 (being the date after the publication of the Joint Announcement) was approximately 6.1 million Shares (representing approximately 1.3% of the Offer Shares), the daily trading volume dropped back to approximately 0.3 million Shares on 10 June 2011 (representing approximately 0.1% of the Offer Shares).
5. The implied PER and PBR by the Offer Price as compared with those of the Comparable Companies
For the purpose of assessing the Offer Price, we have also reviewed and compared the price to earnings ratios (the “PERs”) and the PBRs of all other companies (the “Comparable Companies”) listed on the Stock Exchange which principal activities are engaging in pharmaceutical business in the PRC according to Bloomberg (which is substantially similar with businesses of the Group). Based on above criteria and our searches conducted on Bloomberg and the website of the Stock Exchange, we consider the list of Comparable Companies is exhaustive and those Comparable Companies are fair and representative comparables to the Group. As the Comparable Companies are in the same pharmaceutical sector of the Group, the valuation of the Comparable Companies offers a reasonable reference to the valuation of the Company.

Note 1: Calculation is based on the closing share prices of the Company and the Comparable Companies as at the Latest Practicable Date quoted by Bloomberg and the published financial information contained in the latest annual reports, interim reports or quarterly reports of the Comparable Companies.
-
Note 2: The PER and PBR is not available as the relevant companies was loss-making for the latest financial year or recorded a negative net assets value as at its latest interim period ended date.
-
Note 3: Trading of shares of these Comparable Companies was suspended as at the Latest Practicable Date.
Based on the respective closing prices of the shares of the Comparable Companies as at the Latest Practicable Date, the PBRs of the Comparable Companies range from approximately 0.14 times to approximately 5.74 times, with an average of approximately 2.35 times and a median of approximately 2.07 times while the PERs of the Comparable Companies range from approximately 5.74 times to approximately 480.00, with an average of approximately 40.32 times and median of approximately 14.20 times. We note that the PER of China Medical and Bio Science Limited, being approximately 480.00 times, was exceptionally higher than other Comparable Companies and if that of such PER is excluded, the PERs of the Comparable Companies range from approximately 5.74 times to approximately 139.09 times, with an average of approximately 27.00 times and a median of approximately 13.58 times.
Accordingly, the implied PER and implied PBR represented by the Offer Price of approximately 32.93 times and approximately 2.40 times, respectively (i) are higher than the median of the comparable companies of approximately 14.20 times and the adjusted average and median of the PERs of the Comparable Companies of approximately 27.00 times and of approximately 13.58 times respectively; and (ii) are close to both of the average and median of the PBRs of the Comparable Companies of approximately 2.35 times and of approximately 2.07 times respectively.
Having considered all of the above factors, we consider that the terms of the Offer are fair and reasonable.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
RECOMMENDATION
Having considered the above principal terms of and reasons, in particular:
-
the Offer Price of HK$1.125 per Share which is equivalent to the price of HK$1.125 per Sale Share under the S&P Agreement, represents (i) a discount of approximately 19.06% as compared with the closing price of HK$1.39 as at the Latest Practicable Date, (ii) a premium of approximately 140.09% over the net book value per Share as at 31 December 2010 of approximately HK$0.47; and (iii) a premium of approximately 130.56% over the adjusted consolidated net assets value attributable to equity Shareholders of approximately HK$0.49 per Share based on the audited consolidated net assets value attributable to equity Shareholders as at 31 December 2010 and the net valuation premium (as shown in the Appendix II to this Composite Document) of approximately HK$32.08 million;
-
the implied PER and implied PBR of the Offer Price are higher than the adjusted average and median of the PERs of the Comparable Companies and close to both of the average and median of the PBRs of the Comparable Companies; and,
-
the overall liquidity of the Shares was in general low during the Review Period,
we consider that the terms of the Offer are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned. Accordingly, we advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Independent Shareholders can consider accepting the Offer.
However, in the event that the market price of the Shares exceeds the Offer Price during the Offer Period and the sales proceeds of such sale (net of all transaction costs) exceed the net amount receivable under the Offer, the Independent Shareholders should consider selling the Shares in the open market if they are able to do so given that the trading volume of the Shares was relatively thin during the Review Period and any realization of significant number of Shares in the market might exert downward pressure on the market price of the Shares.
Independent Shareholders are strongly advised that their decision to realize or to hold their investments in the Shares depends on their own individual circumstances and investment objectives as well as their judgments on the overall development of the pharmaceutical industry and the business development and performance of the Group. For those Independent Shareholders who wish to retain some or all their Shares should note that it is the intention of the Offeror and the Purchasers, in particular, to maintain the listing of the Shares on the Stock Exchange after the close of the Offer and to continue the Group’s existing principal business as well as the financial performance of the Group which has been improving since Mr. Yang and Mr. Xu have become the executive Directors.
– 39 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
Independent Shareholders are also reminded and encouraged to monitor the market activities closely and note that there is no certainty that the current trading volume and/or current trading price level of the Shares will be sustainable during or after the Offer Period. Also, the Independent Shareholders are recommended to consult their own professional advisers if they are in doubt as to the taxation implications of accepting or rejecting the Offer.
Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of Haitong International Capital Limited Derek C.O. Chan Managing Director

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in Hong Kong dollars unless otherwise indicated)
1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with all applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (HKFRSs), which collective term includes all applicable individual Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (HKASs) and Interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA), accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. These financial statements also comply with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the Group is set out below.
The HKICPA has issued certain new and revised HKFRSs that are first effective or available for early adoption for the current accounting period of the Group and the Company. Note 2 provides information on any changes in accounting policies resulting from initial application of these developments to the extent that they are relevant to the Group for the current and prior accounting periods reflected in these financial statements.
(b) Basis of preparation of the financial statements
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 comprise Winteam Pharmaceutical Group Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”).
The measurement basis used in the preparation of the financial statements is the historical cost basis except that certain financial instruments classified as available-for-sale are stated at their fair value as explained in accounting policy set out in note 1(e).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HKFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical
– II-9 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Judgements made by management in the application of HKFRSs that have significant effect on the financial statements and major sources of estimation uncertainty are discussed in note 32.
(c) Subsidiaries and non-controlling interests
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable are taken into account.
An investment in a subsidiary is consolidated into the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Intra-group balances and transactions and any unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
Non-controlling interests (previously known as “minority interests”) represent the equity in a subsidiary not attributable directly or indirectly to the company, and in respect of which the group has not agreed any additional terms with the holders of those interests which would result in the group as a whole having a contractual obligation in respect of those interests that meets the definition of a financial liability. For each business combination, the Group measure any non-controlling interests either at their proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net identifiable assets.
Non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separately from equity attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company. Non-controlling interests in the results of the Group are presented on the face of the consolidated income statement and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as an allocation of the total profit or loss and total comprehensive income for the year between non-controlling interests and the equity shareholders of the Company. Loans from holders of non-controlling interests and other contractual obligations towards these holders are presented as financial liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position in accordance with notes 1(n) or (o) depending on the nature of the liability.
Changes in the Group’s interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions, whereby adjustments are made to the amounts of controlling and non-controlling interests within consolidated equity to reflect the change in relative interests, but no adjustments are made to goodwill and no gain or loss is recognised.
In the Company’s statement of financial position, an investment in a subsidiary is stated at cost less impairment losses (see note 1(k)).
(d) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of
-
(i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree; over
-
(ii) The Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities measured as at the acquisition date.
– II-10 –
APPENDIX II
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
When (ii) is greater than (i), then this excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a gain on a bargain purchase.
Goodwill is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill arising on a business combination is allocated to each cash-generating unit, or groups of cash generating units, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination and is tested annually for impairment (see note 1(k)).
On disposal of a cash generating unit during the year, any attributable amount of purchased goodwill is included in the calculation of the profit or loss on disposal.
(e) Other investments in equity securities and other financial instruments
The Group’s and the Company’s policies for investments in equity securities and other financial instruments, other than investments in subsidiaries, are classified as available-for-sale securities, which are initially stated at fair value, which is their transaction price unless fair value can be more reliably estimated using valuation techniques whose variables include only data from observable markets. These investments are subsequently accounted for as follows:
Investments in equity securities that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are recognised in the statement of financial position at cost less impairment losses (see note 1(k)).
Other investments in equity securities and other financial instruments are remeasured at fair value at the end of the reporting period with any resultant gain or loss being recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated separately in equity in the fair value reserve. Dividend income from these investments is recognised in profit or loss in accordance with the policy set out in note 1(t)(iii). When these investments are derecognised or impaired (see note 1(k)), the cumulative gain or loss is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.
Investment are recognised/derecognised on the date the Group commits to purchase/sell the investments or they expire.
(f) Investment property
Investment properties are property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Investment properties are measured at cost. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment property.
(g) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see note 1(k)).
Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed items of property, plant and equipment includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing cost and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use.
Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item and are recognised in profit or loss on the date of retirement or disposal.
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost or valuation of items of property, plant and equipment, less their estimated residual value, if any, using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:
- Buildings situated on leasehold land are depreciated over the shorter of the unexpired term of lease and their estimated useful lives, being no more than 50 years after the date of completion
– II-11 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
| – | Plant, | machinery | and | equipment | 10-15 years |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| – | Motor | vehicles | 5-10 years | ||
| – | Others | 2-12 years |
Both the useful life of an asset and its residual value, if any, are reviewed annually.
(h) Construction in progress
Construction in progress represents buildings and, various plant and equipment under construction and pending installation, and is stated at cost less any impairment losses (see note 1(k)). Cost comprises direct costs of construction as well as borrowing cost, and foreign exchange differences on related borrowed funds to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to borrowing costs, during the period of construction.
Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to property, plant and equipment when the asset is substantially ready for its intended use.
No depreciation is provided in respect of construction in progress.
(i) Intangible assets (other than goodwill)
Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Expenditure on development activities is capitalised if the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Group has sufficient resources and the intention to complete development. The expenditure capitalised includes the costs of materials, direct labour, and an appropriate proportion of overheads and borrowing costs, where applicable (see note 1(v)). Capitalised development costs are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses (see note 1(k)). Other development expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.
Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation (where the estimated useful life is finite) and impairment losses (see note 1(k)).
Amortisation of intangible assets with finite useful lives is charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated useful lives. The following intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised from the date they are available for use and their estimated useful lives are as follows:
| – | product protection rights | over the product protection period |
|---|---|---|
| – | trademarks | 10-50 years |
| – | distribution network | 10 years |
Both the period and method of amortisation are reviewed annually.
Intangible assets are not amortised while their useful lives are assessed to be indefinite. Any conclusion that the useful life of an intangible asset is indefinite is reviewed annually to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support the indefinite useful life assessment for that asset. If they do not, the change in the useful life assessment from indefinite to finite is accounted for prospectively from the date of change and in accordance with the policy for amortisation of intangible assets with finite lives as set out above.
– II-12 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
(j) Leased assets
An arrangement, comprising a transaction or a series of transactions, is or contains a lease if the Group determines that the arrangement conveys a right to use a specific asset or assets for an agreed period of time in return for a payment or a series of payments. Such a determination is made based on an evaluation of the substance of the arrangement and is regardless of whether the arrangement takes the legal form of a lease.
(i) Classification of assets leased to the Group
Assets that are held by the Group under leases which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as being held under finance leases. Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the Group are classified as operating leases, with the following exception:
Property held under operating leases that would otherwise meet the definition of an investment property is classified as an investment property on a property-by-property basis and, if classified as investment property, is accounted for as if held under a finance lease (see note 1(f)).
(ii) Operating lease charges
Where the Group has the use of assets held under operating leases, payments made under the leases are charged to profit or loss in equal instalments over the accounting periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased asset. Lease incentives received are recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the aggregate net lease payments made. Contingent rentals are charged to profit or loss in the accounting period in which they are incurred.
The cost of acquiring land held under an operating lease is amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease term except where the property is classified as an investment property (see note 1(f)).
(k) Impairment of assets
(i) Impairment of investments in equity securities and trade and other receivables
Investments in equity securities and other current and non-current receivables that are stated at cost or amortised cost or are classified as available-for-sale securities are reviewed at each date of financial position to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. Objective evidence of impairment includes observable data that comes to the attention of the Group about one or more of the following loss events:
-
significant financial difficulty of the debtor;
-
a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
-
it becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;
-
significant changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that have an adverse effect on the debtor; and
-
a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below its cost.
– II-13 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
If any such evidence exists, any impairment loss is determined and recognised as follows:
- For trade and other current receivables and other financial assets carried at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition of these assets), where the effect of discounting is material. This assessment is made collectively where financial assets carried at amortised cost share similar risk characteristics, such as similar past due status, and have not been individually assessed as impaired. Future cash flows for financial assets which are assessed for impairment collectively are based on historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to the collective group.
If in a subsequent period the amount of an impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be linked objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. A reversal of an impairment loss shall not result in the asset’s carrying amount exceeding that which would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years.
- For available-for-sale securities, the cumulative loss that has been recognised directly in the fair value reserve is reclassified to profit or loss. The amount of the cumulative loss that is recognised in profit or loss is the difference between the acquisition cost (net of any principal repayment and amortisation) and current fair value, less any impairment loss on that asset previously recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment losses recognised in profit or loss in respect of available-for-sale equity securities are not reversed through profit or loss. Any subsequent increase in the fair value of such assets is recognised in other comprehensive income.
Impairment losses are written off against the corresponding assets directly, except for impairment losses recognised in respect of trade debtors and bills receivable included within trade and other receivables, whose recovery is considered doubtful but not remote. In this case, the impairment losses for doubtful debts are recorded using an allowance account. When the Group is satisfied that recovery is remote, the amount considered irrecoverable is written off against trade debtors and bills receivable directly and any amounts held in the allowance account relating to that debt are reversed. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously charged to the allowance account are reversed against the allowance account. Other changes in the allowance account and subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off directly are recognised in profit or loss.
(ii) Impairment of other assets
Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to identify indications that the following assets may be impaired or, except in the case of goodwill, an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased:
-
property, plant and equipment;
-
investment properties;
-
pre-paid interests in leasehold land classified as being held under an operating lease;
-
construction in progress;
-
intangible assets; and
-
goodwill.
– II-14 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. In addition, for goodwill and intangible assets that are not yet available for use and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives, the recoverable amount is estimated annually whether or not there is any indication of impairment.
Calculation of recoverable amount
The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows independently (i.e. a cash-generating unit).
- Recognition of impairment losses
An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss if the carrying amount of an asset, or the cash-generating unit to which it belongs, exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit (or group of units) and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (or group of units) on a pro rata basis, except that the carrying value of an asset will not be reduced below its individual fair value less costs to sell, or value in use, if determinable.
Reversals of impairment losses
In respect of assets other than goodwill, an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed.
A reversal of an impairment loss is limited to the asset’s carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the year in which the reversals are recognised.
(iii) Interim financial reporting and impairment
Under the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, the Group is required to prepare an interim financial report in compliance with HKAS 34, Interim financial reporting, in respect of the first six months of the financial year. At the end of the interim period, the Group applies the same impairment testing, recognition, and reversal criteria as it would at the end of the financial year (see notes 1(k)(i) and (ii)).
Impairment losses recognised in an interim period in respect of goodwill and available-for-sale equity securities and unquoted equity securities carried at cost are not reversed in a subsequent period. This is the case even if no loss, or a smaller loss, would have been recognised had the impairment been assessed only at the end of the financial year to which the interim period relates. Consequently, if the fair value of an available-for-sale equity security increases in the remainder of the annual period, or in any other period subsequently, the increase is recognised in other comprehensive income and not profit or loss.
(l) Inventories
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost is calculated using the weighted average cost formula and comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
– II-15 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories is recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.
(m) Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts (see note 1(k)), except where the receivables are interest-free loans made to related parties without any fixed repayment terms or the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, the receivables are stated at cost less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts (see note 1(k)).
(n) Interest-bearing borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between the amount initially recognised and redemption value being recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings, together with any interest and fees payable, using the effective interest method.
(o) Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value. Trade and other payables are subsequently stated at amortised cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.
(p) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within three months of maturity at acquisition.
(q) Employee benefits
Short term employee benefits and contributions to defined contribution retirement plans
Salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave, contributions to defined contribution retirement plans and the cost of non-monetary benefits are accrued in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees. Where payment or settlement is deferred and the effect would be material, these amounts are stated at their present values.
(r) Income tax
Income tax for the year comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the relevant amounts of tax are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the date of financial position, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
– II-16 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from deductible and taxable temporary differences respectively, being the differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets also arise from unused tax losses and unused tax credits.
Apart from certain limited exceptions, all deferred tax liabilities, and all deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised, are recognised. Future taxable profits that may support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences include those that will arise from the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, provided those differences relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse either in the same period as the expected reversal of the deductible temporary difference or in periods into which a tax loss arising from the deferred tax asset can be carried back or forward. The same criteria are adopted when determining whether existing taxable temporary differences support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and credits, that is, those differences are taken into account if they relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse in a period, or periods, in which the tax loss or credit can be utilised.
The limited exceptions to recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities are those temporary differences arising from goodwill not deductible for tax purposes, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit (provided they are not part of a business combination), and temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that, in the case of taxable differences, the Group controls the timing of the reversal and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future, or in the case of deductible differences, unless it is probable that they will reverse in the future.
The amount of deferred tax recognised is measured based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow the related tax benefit to be utilised. Any such reduction is reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.
Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognised when the liability to pay the related dividends is recognised.
Current tax balances and deferred tax balances, and movements therein, are presented separately from each other and are not offset. Current tax assets are offset against current tax liabilities, and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities, if the Company or the Group has the legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the following additional conditions are met:
-
in the case of current tax assets and liabilities, the Company or the Group intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously; or
-
in the case of deferred tax assets and liabilities, if they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:
-
the same taxable entity; or
-
different taxable entities, which, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered, intend to realise the current tax assets and settle the current tax liabilities on a net basis or realise and settle simultaneously.

APPENDIX II
(s) Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the Group or the Company has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation.
Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.
(t) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Provided it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably, revenue is recognised in profit or loss as follows:
(i) Sale of goods
Revenue is recognised when goods are delivered at the customers’ premises which is taken to be the point in time when the customer has accepted the goods and the related risks and rewards of ownership. Revenue excludes value added tax or other sales taxes and is after deduction of any trade discounts.
(ii) Rental income from operating leases
Rental income receivable under operating leases is recognised in profit or loss in equal instalments over the periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the use of the leased asset. Lease incentives granted are recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the aggregate net lease payments receivable. Contingent rentals are recognised as income in the accounting period in which they are earned.
(iii) Dividends
-
Dividend income from unlisted investments is recognised when the shareholder’s right to receive payment is established.
-
Dividend income from listed investments is recognised when the share price of the investment goes ex-dividend.
(iv) Interest income
Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method.
(v) Government grants
Government grants are recognised in the statement of financial position initially when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them. Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised as revenue in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses are incurred. Grants that compensate the Group for the cost of an asset are deducted from the carrying mount of the asset and consequently are effectively recognised in profit or loss over the useful life of the asset by way of reduced depreciation expense.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
(u) Translation of foreign currencies
Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the end of the reporting period. Exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was determined.
The results of foreign operations are translated into Hong Kong dollars at the exchange rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Statement of financial position items, including goodwill arising on consolidation of foreign operations acquired on or after 1 January 2005, are translated into Hong Kong dollars at the closing foreign exchange rates ruling at the reporting period. The resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated separately in equity in the exchange reserve.
(v) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
The capitalisation of borrowing costs as part of the cost of a qualifying asset commences when expenditure for the asset is being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended or ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are interrupted or complete.
(w) Related parties
For the purposes of these financial statements, a party is considered to be related to the Group if:
-
(i) the party has the ability, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, to control the Group or exercise significant influence over the Group in making financial and operating policy decisions, or has joint control over the Group;
-
(ii) the Group and the party are subject to common control;
-
(iii) the party is an associate of the Group or a joint venture in which the Group is a venturer;
-
(iv) the party is a member of key management personnel of the Group or the Group’s parent, or a close family member of such an individual, or is an entity under the control, joint control or significant influence of such individuals;
-
(v) the party is a close family member of a party referred to in (i) or is an entity under the control, joint control or significant influence of such individuals; or
-
(vi) the party is a post-employment benefit plan which is for the benefit of employees of the Group or of any entity that is a related party of the Group.
Close family members of an individual are those family members who may be expected to influence, or be influenced by, that individual in their dealings with the entity.

(x) Segment reporting
Operating segments, and the amounts of each segment item reported in the financial statements, are identified from the financial information provided regularly to the Group’s most senior executive management for the purposes of allocating resources to, and assessing the performance of, the Group’s various lines of business and geographical locations.
Individually material operating segments are not aggregated for financial reporting purposes unless the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in respect of the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, the type or class of customers, the methods used to distribute the products or provide the services, and the nature of the regulatory environment. Operating segments which are not individually material may be aggregated if they share a majority of these criteria.
2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The HKICPA has issued two revised HKFRSs, a number of amendments to HKFRSs and two new Interpretations that are first effective for the current accounting period of the Group and the company. Of these, the following developments are relevant to the Group’s financial statements:
-
HKFRS 3 (revised 2008), Business combinations
-
Amendments to HKAS 27, Consolidated and separate financial statements
-
Amendment to HKAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and measurement – eligible hedged items
-
Improvements to HKFRSs (2009)
The Group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting period.
The amendment to HKAS 39 has had no material impact on the Group’s financial statements as the amendment’s conclusions were consistent with policies already adopted by the Group. The other developments resulted in changes in accounting policy but none of these changes in policy have a material impact on the current or comparative periods, for the following reasons:
-
As a result of the adoption of the amendments to HKAS 27, the acquisition of an additional interest in a non-wholly owned subsidiary will be accounted for as a transaction with equity shareholders (the non-controlling interests) in their capacity as owners and therefore no goodwill will be recognized as a result of such transactions. During the current period, the Group has acquired an additional 45.57% and 46.83% interest in two non-wholly owned subsidiaries respectively. Further details are disclosed in note 31 to this financial statements.
-
The impact of the majority of the revisions to HKFRS 3 and other revision of HKAS 27 have not yet had a material effect on the Group’s financial statements as these changes will first be effective as and when the Group enters into a relevant transaction (for example, a business combination or a disposal of a subsidiary) and there is no requirement to restate the amounts recorded in respect of previous such transactions.
-
The impact of the amendments to HKFRS 3 (in respect of recognition of acquiree’s deferred tax assets) and HKAS 27 (in respect of allocation of losses to non-controlling interests (previously known as minority interests) in excess of their equity interest) have had no material impact as there is no requirement to restate amounts recorded in previous periods and no such deferred tax assets or losses arose in the current period.
– II-20 –
APPENDIX II
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
- The amendment introduced by the Improvements to HKFRSs (2009) omnibus standard in respect of HKAS 17, Leases, resulted in a change of classification of certain of the Group’s leasehold land interests located in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, but this had no material impact on the amounts recognised in respect of these leases as the lease premiums in respect of all such leases are fully paid and are being amortised over the remaining length of the lease term.

12 SEGMENT REPORTING
The Group manages its businesses by subsidiaries. In a manner consistent with the way in which information is reported internally to the Group’s most senior executive management for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment, the Group has identified the following five reportable segments. No operating segments have been aggregated to form the following reportable segments.
-
Dezhong
-
Feng Liao Xing
-
Guangdong Medi-World
-
Shandong Luya Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Luya”)
-
Nanhai Pharmaceutical
(a) Segment results, assets and liabilities
For the purposes of assessing segment performance and allocating resources between segments, the Group’s senior executive management monitors the results, assets and liabilities attributable to each reportable segment on the following bases:
Segment assets include all tangible, intangible assets and current assets with the exception of investment in financial assets, deferred tax assets and other corporate assets. Segment liabilities include trade creditors, accruals and bills payable attributable to the manufacturing and sales activities of the individual segments and bank borrowings managed directly by the segments.
Revenue and expenses are allocated to the reportable segments with reference to sales generated by those segments and the expenses incurred by those segments or which otherwise arise from the depreciation or amortisation of assets attributable to those segments.
The measure used for reporting segment profit is “adjusted EBITDA” i.e. “adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization”, where “interest” is regarded as including investment income and “depreciation and amortization” is regarded as including impairment losses on non-current assets. To arrive at adjusted EBITDA the Group’s earnings are further adjusted for items not specifically attributed to individual segments, such as directors’ and auditors’ remuneration and other head office or corporate administration costs.
– II-26 –
APPENDIX II
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
In addition to receiving segment information concerning adjusted EBITDA, management is provided with segment information concerning revenue including inter segment, interest income and expense from cash balances and borrowings managed directly by the segments, depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses and additions to non-current segment assets used by the segments in their operations. Inter-segment sales are priced with reference to prices charged to external parties for similar orders.

Goodwill acquired through business combination is allocated to the Group’s cash-generating units (“CGU”) identified as follows:
| Manufacture and sale of pharmaceutical products – Dezhong Manufacture and sale of pharmaceutical products – Feng Liao Xing Manufacture and sale of pharmaceutical products – Guangdong Medi-Word Manufacture and sale of pharmaceutical products – Luya Manufacture and sale of pharmaceutical products – Nanhai Pharmaceutical |

The recoverable amount of the CGU is determined based on value-in-use calculations. The key assumptions used in the valuations are those regarding the expected changes to selling prices and costs, and discount rates. The changes in selling prices and costs are based on historical operating records and expectation of future changes in the market. Discount rates applied are able to reflect the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the CGU.
The Company determined the value-in-use by preparing cash flow projections of each of the CGU derived from the most recent financial forecast approved by the management covering a one-year period and extrapolated to cover a period of nine more years with an estimated increase in selling prices and costs of 3% (2009: 3%) and no growth in sales volume. The rate used to discount the forecast cash flows is 9.7% (2009: 12%).

Investments in unlisted equity securities do not have a quoted market price in an active market. Quoted prices in active market for similar financial assets or observable market data as significant inputs for valuation techniques are also not available. Therefore, the unlisted equity securities are stated at cost less impairment, if any, in the financial statements.
Other financial instruments as at 31 December 2010 represent the fair value of two wealth management products issued by the two PRC banks of $23,952,000 and $7,051,000 respectively.

|---|---|---|
| 149,172 |
Trade debtors and bills receivables are due within 30 to 90 days from the date of billing. All of the trade and bills receivables are expected to be recovered within one year. Further details on the Group’s credit policy are set out in note 28(a).
(b) Impairment of trade and bills receivables
Impairment losses in respect of trade debtors and bills receivables are recorded using an allowance account unless the Group is satisfied that recovery of the amount is remote, in which case the impairment loss is written off against trade debtors and bills receivables directly (see note 1(k)(i)).
The movements in the allowance for doubtful debts during the year, including both specific and collective loss components, are as follows:
| At 1 January Addition through acquisition of subsidiaries Impairment loss recognised Exchange adjustments At 31 December |
The Group 2010 2009 $’000 $’000 8,364 2,647 – 5,154 2,464 550 348 13 11,176 8,364 |

| 8,364 |
At 31 December 2010, the Group’s gross trade receivables of $11,176,000 (2009: $8,364,000) were individually determined to be impaired. The individually impaired receivables related to receivables that were overdue more than one year and management assessed that receivables are not expected to be recovered. Consequently, specific allowances for doubtful debts of $11,176,000 were recognised (2009: $8,364,000). The Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.

(c) Trade and bills receivables that are not impaired
The ageing analysis of trade and bills receivables that are neither individually nor collectively considered to be impaired are as follows:

As at 31 December 2010, receivables that were neither past due nor impaired individually, amounted to $187,409,000 (2009: $140,808,000).
Receivables that were past due but not impaired relate to a number of independent customers that have a good track record with the Group. Based on past experience, management believes that no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of these balances as there has not been a significant change in credit quality of the customers and the balances are still considered fully recoverable. The Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.

(i) Capital management
The Group’s primary objectives when managing capital are 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, by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk and by securing access to finance at a reasonable cost.
The Group actively and regularly reviews 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.
The Group monitors its capital structure on the basis of an adjusted net debt-to-capital ratio. For this purpose, adjusted net debt is defined as total debt (which includes interest-bearing loans and borrowings, and obligations under finance leases but excludes redeemable preference shares) plus unaccrued proposed dividends, less cash and cash equivalents. Adjusted capital comprises all components of equity and redeemable preference shares, other than amounts recognised in equity relating to cash flow hedges, less unaccrued proposed dividends.
During 2010, the Group’s strategy, which was unchanged from 2009, is to maintain the capital in order to cover any debt position.
The adjusted debt-to-equity ratios at 31 December 2010 and 2009 are as follows:
| Current liabilities: Trade and other payables Bank loans Add: Proposed dividends Adjusted net debt Total equity Less: Proposed dividends Adjusted equity Adjusted net debt-to-equity ratio |
2010 $’000 361,291 109,294 470,585 – 470,585 849,184 – 849,184 55% |

APPENDIX II
28 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUES
Exposure to credit, liquidity, interest rate and currency risks arises in the normal course of the Group’s business. The Group is also exposed to equity price risk arising from its equity investments in other entities and movements in its own equity share price.
The Group’s exposure to these risks and the financial risk management policies and practises used by the Group to manage these risks are described below.
(a) Credit risk
The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to trade and other receivables. Credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. These evaluations focus on the customer’s past history of making payments when due and current ability to pay, and take into account information specific to the customer as well as pertaining to the economic environment in which the customer operates. These receivables are due within 30 to 90 days from the date of billing. Debtors with balances that are more than three months overdue are requested to settle all outstanding balances before any further credit is granted. Normally, the Group does not obtain collateral from customers.
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate also has an influence on credit risk but to a lesser extent. At 31 December 2010, the Group has no certain concentration of credit risk.
The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of the asset in the consolidated statement of financial position after deducting any impairment allowance. The Group does not provide any guarantees which would expose the Group to credit risk.
Further quantitative disclosures in respect of the Group’s exposure to credit risk arising from trade receivables are set out in note 20.
(b) Liquidity risk
Individual operating entities within the Group are responsible for their own cash management, including the short term investment of cash surpluses and the raising of loans to cover expected cash demands, subject to approval by the Company’s board when the borrowings exceed certain predetermined levels of authority. The Group’s policy is to regularly monitor current and expected liquidity requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash and adequate committed lines of funding from major financial institutions to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.

Within 1 year or on demand $’000 (2,076) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
(c) Interest rate risk
The Group’s interest rate risk arises primarily from short-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. The Group’s interest rate profile as monitored by management is set out below.
(i) Interest rate profile
The following table details the interest rate profile of the Group’s total borrowings at the date of financial position.
| 2010 | 2010 | 2009 | 2009 | |||

| Variable rate borrowings: | ||||||
| Bank loans | 5.34% | 109,294 | 5.60% | 84,042 |
(ii) Sensitivity analysis
As at 31 December 2010, it is estimated that a general increase/decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, would have increased/decreased the Group’s profit after tax and retained profits by approximately $929,000 (2009: $714,000). Other components of equity would not be affected by the changes in interest rates.
– II-46 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
This sensitivity analysis has been determined assuming that the change in interest rates had occurred at the dates of financial position and had been applied to the exposure to interest risk for financial investments in existence at those dates.
(d) Foreign currency risk
Individual companies within the Group has limited foreign currency risk as most of the transactions are denominated in the same currency as the functional currency of the operations in which they relate. However, as the principal subsidiaries, Dezhong, Feng Liao Xing, Guangdong Medi-World and Luya, mainly carried out transactions in RMB, therefore any appreciation or depreciation of HKD against RMB will affect the Group’s financial position and be reflected in the exchange reserve.
(e) Equity price risk
The Group is exposed to equity price changes arising from equity investments classified as available-for-sale equity securities (see note 18), which are listed on the Stock Exchange of Shenzhen, the PRC. The available-for-sale investments have been chosen based on their longer term growth potential and are monitored regularly for performance against expectations.
The following table indicates the approximate change in the Group’s equity in response to reasonably possible changes in the share price of equity securities to which the Group has significant exposure at the date of financial position.
| Change in market price of equity investments: – increase – decrease |
Increase/ (decrease) in share price 20% (20%) |
2010 Effect on equity $’000 1,471 (1,471) |
2009 Effect on equity $’000 796 (796) |
|---|---|---|---|
The sensitivity analysis has been determined assuming that the reasonably possible changes in share price of equity investments had occurred at the date of financial position and had been applied to the exposure to equity price risk in existence at that date. The stated changes represent management’s assessment of reasonably possible changes in the share price over the period until the next annual date of financial position. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2009.
(f) Fair values
The following table presents the carrying value of financial instruments measured at fair value at the date of financial position across the three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined in HKFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, with the fair value of each financial instrument categorised in its entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to that fair value measurement. The levels are defined as follows:
-
Level 1 (highest level): fair values measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments
-
Level 2: fair values measured using quoted prices in active markets for similar financial instruments, or using valuation techniques in which all significant inputs are directly or indirectly based on observable market data
-
Level 3 (lowest level): fair values measured using valuation techniques in which any significant input is not based on observable market data

32 ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The Group’s financial condition and results of operations are sensitive to accounting methods, assumptions and estimates that underlie the preparation of the financial statements. The Group bases the assumptions and estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Group believes to be reasonable and which form the basis for making judgements about matters that are not readily apparent from other sources. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates as facts, circumstances and conditions change.
The selection of critical accounting policies, the judgements and other uncertainties affecting application of those policies and the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions are factors to be considered when reviewing the financial statements. The significant accounting policies are set forth in note 1. The Group believes the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant judgements and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.
(a) Impairment
If circumstances indicate that the net book value of property, plant and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets and interests in leasehold land held for own use under operating leases may not be recoverable, these assets may be considered “impaired”, and an impairment loss may be recognised in accordance with HKAS 36, Impairment of assets. The carrying amounts of these assets are reviewed
– II-51 –
APPENDIX II
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
periodically in order to assess whether the recoverable amounts have declined below the carrying amounts. These assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their recorded carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When such a decline has occurred, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and the value in use. It is difficult to precisely estimate selling price because quoted market prices for the Group’s assets are not readily available. In determining the value in use, expected cash flows generated by the asset are discounted to their present value, which requires significant judgement relating to level of sales volume, selling price, material costs and amount of operating costs. The Group uses all readily available information in determining an amount that is a reasonable approximation of recoverable amount, including sales volume, expected changes to selling prices and operating costs, and discount rate.
In addition, the Group estimates impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts resulting from the inability of the debtors to make the required payments. The Group bases the estimates on the ageing of the trade and other receivables balance, credit-worthiness of the debtors and historical write-off experience. If the financial condition of the debtors were to deteriorate, actual write-offs would be higher than estimated.
(b) Depreciation and amortisation
Fixed assets and intangible assets are depreciated and amortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, after taking into account the estimated residual value, if any. The Group reviews the estimated useful lives of the assets regularly in order to determine the amount of depreciation and amortisation expense to be recorded during any reporting period. The useful lives are based on the Group’s historical experience with similar assets and taking into account upgrading and improvement work performed, anticipated technological changes, and legal or similar limits on the use of assets. The depreciation and amortisation expense for future periods is adjusted if there are significant changes from previous estimates.
(c) Write down of inventories
The Group determines the write-down for obsolescence of inventories. These estimates are based on the current market condition and the historical experience in selling goods of similar nature. It could change significantly as a result of change in market condition.
33 POSSIBLE IMPACT OF AMENDMENTS, NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010
Up to the date of issue of these financial statements, the HKICPA has issued of certain amendments and interpretations and one new standard which are not yet effective for the year ended 31 December 2010 and which have not been adopted in these financial statements.
| Effective for accounting | |
|---|---|
| periods beginning on or after | |
| Revised HKAS 24, Related party disclosures | 1 January 2011 |
| HKFRS 9, Financial Instruments | 1 January 2013 |
| Improvements to HKFRSs 2010 | 1 July 2010 or 1 January 2011 |
| Amendments to HKAS 12, Income taxes | 1 January 2012 |
The Group is in the process of making an assessment of what the impact of these amendments is expected to be in the period of initial application. So far it has concluded that the adoption of them is unlikely to result in a restatement of the Group’s results of operations and financial position.

Since 2004, the Ministry of Health of the PRC has implemented certain policies to monitor and govern the use of anti-biotics in the PRC. In April 2011, the Ministry of Health of the PRC conducted public consultation regarding the tightening of control over the use of anti-biotics in the PRC and new policies may be promulgated in this connection. The Directors considered that the sale of the Group’s major anti-biotics product, Gaode (Cefodizime Sodium for injection), accounting for approximately 9.8% of the total sales of the Group in 2010, may be affected if new policies are to be implemented by the Ministry of Health of the PRC. The Directors however were not able to estimate the impact of the possible implementation of new policies on the trading position of the Group as the Ministry of Health of the PRC has yet to release any new policies as at the Latest Practicable Date.
Save as disclosed above, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors confirmed that there had been no material change in the financial or trading position or outlook of the Group subsequent to 31 December 2010, being the date to which the last published audited consolidated financial statements of the Company were made up.

17 June 2011
The Directors Winteam Pharmaceutical Group Limited Rooms 2801-2805 China Insurance Group Building 141 Des Voeux Road Central Central, Hong Kong
Dear Sirs,
INSTRUCTIONS
We refer to the instructions from Winteam Pharmaceutical Group Limited (the “Company”) for us to value the properties held / to be acquired / rented by the Company and / or its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) located in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) and Hong Kong. We confirm that we have conducted inspections, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market values of the properties as at 31 March 2011 (the “date of valuation”).
BASIS OF VALUATION
Our valuations of the concerned properties have been based on the Market Value, which is defined as “the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.
– III-1 –
PROPERTY VALUATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX III
PROPERTY CATEGORISATIONS
In the course of our valuations, the portfolio of properties of the Group is categorized into the following groups:
Group I – Properties held and occupied by the Group in the PRC Group II – Properties held by the Group for investment in the PRC Group III – Property partly held under development and partly held and occupied by the Group in the PRC Group IV – Property held by the Group for future development in the PRC Group V – Properties to be owner-occupied and held by the Group under contractual rights in the PRC Group VI – Properties rented by the Group in the PRC Group VII – Property rented by the Group in Hong Kong
VALUATION METHODOLOGIES
For Property Nos. 2 to 4, 7 and 16, we have valued them on market basis by the Comparison Approach assuming sale in their existing states with the benefit of vacant possession and by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the market. Appropriate adjustments have then been made to account for the differences between the properties and the comparables in terms of age, time, location and other relevant factors.
In valuing Property Nos. 1, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 15, we have adopted the Depreciated Replacement Cost Approach. Depreciated replacement cost is defined as “the aggregate amount of the value of the land for the existing use or a notional replacement site in the same locality, and the new replacement cost of the buildings and other site works, from which appropriate deductions may then be made to allow for the age, condition, economic or functional obsolescence and environmental factors, etc.; all of these might result in the existing property being worth less to the undertaking in occupation than would a new replacement.” This basis has been used due to the lack of an established market upon which to base comparable transactions, which generally furnishes the most reliable indication of values for assets without a known used market. This opinion of value dos not necessarily represent the amount that might be realized form the disposition of the subject asset in the market and is subject to adequate profitability of the business compared to the value of the total assets employed.
For Property Nos. 11 to 14, we have adopted the Investment Approach by taking into account the current passing rents of the properties being held under existing tenancies and the reversionary potential of the tenancies if they have been or would be let to tenants.
For Property Nos. 17 to 25, we have attributed no commercial value to the properties due either to the title of the properties are not vested in the Group or the short-term nature of the leases or the prohibition against assignment or sub-letting or otherwise due to the lack of substantial profit rents.
– III-2 –
PROPERTY VALUATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX III
TITLE INVESTIGATION
For the properties located in the PRC, we have been provided with copies of title documents / tenancy agreements and have been advised by the Group that no further relevant documents have been produced. However, we have not examined the original documents to verify ownership or to ascertain the existence of any amendment documents, which may not appear on the copies handed to us. In the course of our valuations, we have relied upon the advice and information given by the Group’s PRC legal advisor – King’s Law Firm (廣東金信方正律師事務所) regarding the titles of the properties. All documents have been used for reference only.
VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS
Our valuations have been made on the assumption that the properties are sold in the market in their existing state without the benefit of deferred terms contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement which would serve to affect the values of the properties.
In addition, no account has been taken of any option or right of pre-emption concerning or affecting the sale of the properties and no forced sale situation in any manner is assumed in our valuations.
VALUATION CONSIDERATIONS
We have inspected the exterior and wherever possible, the interior of the properties. During the course of our inspections, we did not note any serious defects. However, no structural surveys have been made. We are, therefore, unable to report whether the properties are free from rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No tests were carried out on any of the services.
In the course of our valuations, we have relied to a considerable extent on the information given by the Group and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenures, particulars of occupancy, site / floor areas, completion dates of the buildings, identification of the properties and other relevant information.
We have not carried out detailed on-site measurements to verify the correctness of the site / floor areas in respect of the properties but have assumed that the site / floor areas shown on the documents handed to us are correct. Dimensions, measurements and site / floor areas included in the valuation certificates are based on information contained in the leases and other documents provided to us and are therefore only approximations.
We have no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Group and we have relied on your advice that no material facts have been omitted from the information so supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information for us to reach an informed view.
– III-3 –
PROPERTY VALUATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX III
No allowance has been made in our valuations for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the properties or for any expenses or taxation, which may be incurred in effecting a sale or purchase.
Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature, which could affect their values.
For the purpose of compliance with Rule 11.3 of the Code on Takeovers and Mergers and as advised by the Company, the potential tax liabilities which may arise from the sale of the properties include:
-
Business tax at a rate of 5% of consideration for the property in the PRC;
-
Profits tax on the profit from the sale at a rate of 25% for the property in the PRC; and
-
Land value appreciation tax for the property in the PRC at progressive tax rates ranging from 30% to 60% on the appreciation.
As advised by the Group, the likelihood of any potential tax liability being crystalised is remote as the Group has no intention to sell the properties.
Our valuations have been prepared in accordance with the HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (First Edition 2005) published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.
Our valuations have been prepared under the generally accepted valuation procedures and are in compliance with the requirements contained in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and Rule 11 of the Codes on Takeovers and Mergers and Share Repurchases published by the Securities and Futures Commission.
REMARKS
We hereby certify that we neither have any present nor any prospective interest in the Group or the appraised properties or the values reported.
Unless otherwise stated, all money amounts stated herein are in Renminbi (RMB) and no allowances have been made for any exchange transfer.
