LETTER FROM THE BOARD

THE ACQUISITION AGREEMENT

Date

30 January 2010

Parties

Purchaser:

(Guangdong Medi-world Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.*), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company

Vendor: Mr. HE Zhaojian ( )

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, the Vendor is the beneficial owner of the Sale Interest. The principal asset of the Target Company is the holding of a 49% equity interest in DZH, an indirect non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company principally engaged in the production of a wide range of Chinese medicines. Accordingly, the Vendor is a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules.

Asset to be acquired

The asset to be acquired by the Purchaser is the Sale Interest (representing a 93% equity interest in the Target Company). Further information on the Target Company and DZH is set out in the section headed “Information on the Target Company and DZH” below.

Consideration

The Consideration for the Sale Interest is RMB116 million (equivalent to approximately HK$131.7 million) payable in cash by the Purchaser to the Vendor at completion of the Acquisition Agreement.

In March 2009, the State Council of the PRC approved a medical reform proposal (including (Opinions Concerning Further Reform of the Medical and Health System) and (Implementation Plan on Further Reform of the Medical and Health System for 2009-2011)) for public medical and health care system. It is expected that the reform proposal would involve investments by the PRC government of RMB850 billion (equivalent to approximately HK$964.8 billion) at various levels of the public medical and health care system from 2009 to 2011. On 18 August 2009, the State Council of the PRC further released the National Essential Drugs List, marking the establishment of a national list of essential drugs required to be stocked up and used by public medical and health care institutions and to be sold by retail drug stores. The National Essential Drugs List covers over 300 types of medicines, of which DZH manufactures a total of 17 types. In light of the aforesaid medical reform proposal and expected increase in the sale of DZH’s medicine products as a result of the establishment of the National Essential Drugs List, the Directors are optimistic about the future development of DZH. Details of the development prospect of DZH are more particularly described in the section headed “Reasons for the Acquisition” below.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The original cost of the Sale Interest to the Vendor is approximately RMB108.6 million (equivalent to approximately HK$123.3 million). The Consideration has been determined after arm’s length negotiations between the parties having taken into account the following factors: (i) the promising business and development prospects of DZH as described above; and (ii) the historical financial performance and financial position of DZH since the acquisition of a 51% equity interest in DZH by the Company in October 2006.

Option in respect of the Remaining Minority Interest

Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, the Vendor may within 12 months from the date of completion of the Acquisition Agreement continue to negotiate with the Minority Holders to purchase the Remaining Minority Interest at a price not more than RMB5 for every RMB1 of registered capital of the Target Company held by the Minority Holders. On this basis, the total purchase price for all the Remaining Minority Interest would be up to RMB8,190,500 (equivalent to approximately HK$9.3 million). The Vendor has agreed to grant the Option to the Purchaser for it to acquire, in its sole discretion, from the Vendor any and all of such Remaining Minority Interest on the same terms offered to the Vendor by the Minority Holders. In the event that any of the Remaining Minority Interest is available for sale and the Purchaser exercises its rights to purchase the Remaining Minority Interest, the Company will finance such purchases by its internal resources. In the event that the Purchaser decides to exercise its right to acquire the Remaining Minority Interest, the Company will comply with the relevant provisions of the Listing Rules as and when appropriate.

  • (ix) a legal opinion being issued by Grandall Legal Group (Shenzhen), in the form to the satisfaction of the Purchaser, confirming, including but not limited to, the Vendor is the legal and beneficial owner of the Sale Interest.

If any of the above conditions precedent is not fulfilled or waived by the Purchaser on or before 30 April 2010 or such later date as may be agreed in writing between the parties to the Acquisition Agreement, the Acquisition Agreement shall lapse and be of no further effect and no party shall have any claim against, or liability or obligation to, the other party save in respect of any antecedent breaches of the Acquisition Agreement.

  • (iv) a premium of approximately 1.2% over the average of the closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange over the last 30 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day of approximately HK$0.84 per Share;

  • (v) a discount of approximately 30.3% to the closing price of HK$1.22 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date; and

  • (vi) a premium of approximately 107.3% over the unaudited net asset value of approximately HK$0.41 per Share as at 30 June 2009 (based on the unaudited equity attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$670,221,000 as set out in the Company’s interim report for the six months ended 30 June 2009 and a total of 1,628,410,807 Shares in issue as at 30 June 2009).

The Subscription Price has been determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Subscribers with references to, among other things, (i) the prevailing market price of the Shares; and (ii) the purpose of the Subscription of financing the Acquisition. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Subscription Agreement, including the Subscription Price, are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and that the Subscription is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The aggregate subscription price payable by the Subscribers to the Company for the Subscription Shares is HK$131.75 million. The net proceeds from the Subscription after deducting related fees and expenses is estimated to be approximately HK$130.0 million and will be used to finance payment of the Consideration for the Acquisition. The net price per Subscription Share approximates HK$0.84.

Conditions precedent

Completion of the Subscription Agreement is conditional upon:

  • (i) the Listing Committee granting the approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Subscription Shares;

– 13 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (ii) the passing of the ordinary resolution(s) by way of poll at an extraordinary general meeting by the Independent Shareholders to approve the Subscription Agreement and all the transactions contemplated thereunder, the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares to the Subscribers (or other party as it may direct) and the Whitewash Waiver;

  • (iii) the granting by the Executive of the Whitewash Waiver; and

  • (iv) the Acquisition Agreement having been completed in accordance with its terms.

None of the conditions set out above can be waived by the Company or any of the Subscribers. In the event that the conditions are not fulfilled on or before 30 May 2010 (or such other date or time as may be agreed between the Company and the Subscribers), all obligations of the Subscribers and of the Company under the Subscription Agreement shall cease and determine and none of the parties shall have any claim against the other in relation to the Subscription Agreement.

The Company has applied to the Listing Committee for the approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Subscription Shares.

Completion of the Subscription Agreement

Completion of the Subscription Agreement will take place at 4:00 p.m. on the tenth Business Day following the satisfaction of the conditions set out above (or such other date as the parties to the Subscription Agreement may agree in writing). Further announcement will be made upon completion of the Subscription Agreement.

As stated above, completion of the Subscription Agreement is conditional on, among other things, the Acquisition Agreement having been completed in accordance with its terms. However, completion of the Acquisition Agreement is not conditional on the completion of the Subscription Agreement. In the event that the Subscription Agreement is not capable of becoming unconditional or is not completed for any reasons, the Acquisition will be funded by the internal resources and bank borrowings of the Group.

CLARIFICATION ON FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS

The Company would like to clarify that due to an inadvertent mistake, it was disclosed in the Announcement that the Company has not carried out any fund raising exercise in the 12 months immediately preceding the date of the Announcement.

On 16 December 2008, the Company issued an announcement in relation to, among other things, the acquisition of Smartpoint and the best effort placing (the “Placing”) of up to 233,334,000 Shares at HK$0.3 each. On 6 February 2009, the Placing was completed and 233,334,000 Shares were successfully placed. The net proceeds from the Placing of HK$69.85 million had been utilised to finance part of the consideration for the acquisition of Smartpoint as intended and disclosed in the aforesaid announcement.

– 14 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

At the time of preparing the Announcement, the Company had mistakenly used 16 December 2008, being the date of the aforesaid announcement relating to the Placing, as reference date and therefore considered that details of the Placing are not required to be disclosed as fund raising activities of the Company in the past 12 months in the Announcement. The Company subsequently realised that the date of issue of the Shares under the Placing should be used as the reference date for the purpose of disclosing the fund raising activities of the Company in the past 12 months under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, details of the Placing are disclosed above for Shareholders’ information.

Save as disclosed above, the Company has not carried out any fund raising exercise in the 12 months immediately preceding the date of the Announcement.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITION

The principal activity of the Company is investment holding and the principal activities of its principal subsidiaries, including DZH, are the manufacture and sale of Chinese medicine and pharmaceutical products in the PRC.

In October 2006, the Company acquired the 51% interest in DZH which is presently held by it. Following completion of the aforesaid acquisition, DZH has been performing well and has recorded satisfactory results for the three financial years subsequent to such acquisition.

As mentioned above, the State Council of the PRC has approved a medical reform proposal for public medical and health care system in March 2009. It is expected that the reform proposal would involve investments by the PRC government of RMB850 billion (equivalent to approximately HK$964.8 billion) at various levels of the public medical and health care system from 2009 to 2011. The National Essential Drugs List released by the State Council of the PRC on 18 August 2009 covers over 300 types of medicines, of which DZH manufactures a total of 17 types, while other members of the Group together manufacture a total of 47 types. One of the popular products manufactured by DZH, “Biyankang Tablet” ( ), is on the National Essential Drugs List. “Biyankang Tablet” ( ) is a patented product manufactured exclusively by DZH. In light of the reform proposal for the public medical and health care system and the establishment of the National Essential Drugs List, it is expected that demand for DZH’s medicine products, particularly its patented products, will increase and DZH will benefit from the recent development of the medicine industry in the PRC.

Despite the future performance of the Group may rely more on the business performance of DZH after completion of the Acquisition, the Company considers that the business prospects of DZH is promising and the Acquisition provides a good opportunity for the Company to increase its investment in DZH with a view to enhancing the overall profitability of the Group and bringing value to the Shareholders. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider the terms of the Acquisition Agreement to be fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and that the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

REASONS FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION

The net proceeds of approximately HK$130.0 million raised from the Subscription will be used to fund the Acquisition. The Directors have considered the other financing options for the Acquisition including debt financing and rights issue of Shares to all Shareholders. Having considered the various options, the Directors consider that the proposed Subscription is the most appropriate means of funding the Acquisition for reasons as follows: (i) the debt financing option will incur finance charges and interest costs for the Group during the term of the loan. Despite the prevailing low interest rate, any increase in interest rate would post upward pressure on the level of finance expenses of the Group; (ii) the gearing ratio of the Group will inevitably be affected if the Acquisition is to be financed by bank borrowings. Given the long term nature of the investment in DZH, the Company may not be able to successfully arrange the necessary bank financing the term of which would match the

– 16 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

pay-back periods of the investments; (iii) a rights issue would normally involve a longer timetable to complete the capital raising and, in order to provide sufficient incentive for any arm’s length underwriters to underwrite the new issue, the Directors believe that it is highly likely that a more substantial discount to market price would be required for the launch of a rights issue to all Shareholders. Shareholders who will not subscribe for their pro-rata rights will suffer from a higher dilutive effect than as a result of completion of the Subscription; (iv) a rights issue will involve more costs to the Company by reason of the underwriting commission, and other administrative and legal expenses and costs; and (v) as illustrated above, the issue price of the Subscription has been agreed quite close to the prevailing market price of the Shares and at a substantial premium over the underlying net asset value of the Shares, despite the dilutive effect of the Subscription to the Shareholders on percentage, the Directors consider that the Subscription would be the most straight forward and cost effective means of financing for the purpose of the Acquisition and the dilution effect to the Shareholders as a result of the Subscription is acceptable and commercially justifiable.

FINANCIAL IMPACTS OF THE ACQUISITION

On earnings

Upon completion of the Acquisition Agreement, the results of the Target Company will be consolidated into the Group. Through the Acquisition, the Company will hold an attributable interest of approximately 96.6% in DZH, increasing from its present holding of 51%. In view of the overall profitability of DZH in the past, the Directors are optimistic about the future earnings capability of the Enlarged Group and believe the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

On assets and liabilities

An unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet on the Enlarged Group as at 30 June 2009 is set out in Appendix IV to this circular, which has been prepared assuming completion of the Acquisition had taken place on 30 June 2009 and the Consideration has been settled in cash by internal resources of the Group, without taking account the Subscription and the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares. On this basis and as the Company already had control over DZH before the Acquisition, the acquisition of additional interest in DZH as a result of completion of the acquisition of the Sale Interest would not result in a change in the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the Group’s consolidated balance sheet, except that the account balance of the Group’s investment in an associate would be eliminated and the account balance of the minority interest in the Group’s consolidated balance sheet relating to DZH would decrease. Had completion of the Acquisition taken place on 30 June 2009, the effect of this is, as illustrated in the unaudited pro forma balance sheet, that (i) the Group’s total assets would decrease by approximately HK$131.8 million from approximately HK$1,148.6 million to approximately HK$1,016.8 million because of the decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately HK$131.7 million (being the payment of the Consideration) and the elimination of the account balance in investment in an associate of approximately HK$0.09 million; (ii) the Group’s total liabilities would remain at approximately HK$302.5 million; (iii) the amount of minority interests would decrease by approximately HK$101.4 million from approximately HK$175.8

– 17 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

million to approximately HK$74.4 million due to the increase of the Group’s equity interest in DZH; and (iv) the Group’s total equity attributable to shareholders of the Company would decrease by approximately HK$30.3 million from approximately HK$670.2 million to approximately HK$639.9 million primarily reflecting the difference between the decrease in the amount of minority interests of approximately HK$101.4 million and the Consideration paid for the Sale Interest of approximately HK$131.7 million.

The bases and assumptions on which the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet of the Enlarged group has been prepared are more particularly described in the section headed “Introduction to the unaudited pro forma financial information” in Appendix IV. Particulars of the pro forma adjustments and the pro forma assets and liabilities of the Enlarged Group are set out in the sections headed “Unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as at 30 June 2009” and “Notes to the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group” in Appendix IV. Shareholders should note that the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group has been prepared based on a number of assumptions, estimates, uncertainties and currently available information and does not purport to predict the future financial position of the Enlarged Group.

FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

Following completion of the Acquisition Agreement, the Group will hold a 93% equity interest in the Target Company. Accordingly, the Group’s attributable equity interest in DZH will increase from 51% to approximately 96.6%. After taking into account the good performance of DZH, the Directors are optimistic about the future earning capability of the Enlarged Group. In addition, due to the introduction of the medical reform proposal for public medical and health care system and release of the National Essential Drugs List by the State Council of the PRC in 2009, the Board considers that the Acquisition would further enhance the Enlarged Group’s trading prospects in the future.

INFORMATION ON THE SUBSCRIBERS

Profit Channel is a company wholly owned by Mr. Yang, the sole director of Profit Channel. The principal activity of Profit Channel is investment holding and its principal asset is a 50% equity interest in Sureplan, which is in turn holding 564,102,563 Shares (representing approximately 34.64% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date).

Extra Benefit is a company wholly owned by Mr. Xu, the sole director of Extra Benefit. The principal activity of Extra Benefit is investment holding and its principal asset is a 25% equity interest in Sureplan, which is in turn holding 564,102,563 Shares (representing approximately 34.64% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date).

INTENTION OF THE SUBSCRIBERS

The Group will continue to be engaged in the manufacture and sale of Chinese medicine and pharmaceutical products in the PRC after completion of the Subscription. The Subscribers have no intention to make any material change to the business or continued

– 18 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

employment of the employees of the Group or to redeploy the fixed assets of the Group. The Subscribers also intend that the Shares will remain listed on the Stock Exchange after completion of the Acquisition and the Subscription.

The Subscribers consider that the Company has promising growth prospects and, in the circumstances, they are prepared to continue their support to the Group in furthering the development of the Group in its medicine and pharmaceutical business in the PRC. As the Acquisition presents the Group with a good opportunity to enhance its future earning capability as stated by the Directors above, the Subscribers are of the view that the Subscription represents an opportunity to enhance their participation in the future growth of the Group. The Subscribers therefore consider that the Subscription is in their long-term commercial interests.

REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

Takeovers Code

Application for Whitewash Waiver

Profit Channel and Extra Benefit are wholly owned by Mr. Yang and Mr. Xu respectively. Mr. Yang and Mr. Xu are executive Directors and are in aggregate holding 75% interest in Sureplan, which in turn held 564,102,563 Shares (representing approximately 34.64% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date). Sureplan and the Vendor are presumed to be parties acting in concert under class (1) of the definition of acting in concert under the Takeovers Code. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Vendor did not hold any Shares. Save for the shareholding of Sureplan, the Subscribers, Mr. Yang, Mr. Xu and parties acting in concert with any of them had no other interests in the voting rights of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. Upon completion of the Subscription and the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares, Sureplan, the Subscribers, Mr. Yang, Mr. Xu, and parties acting in concert with any of them will be interested in a total of 719,102,563 Shares, representing approximately 40.32% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of the Subscription Shares (assuming that no Shares will be issued between the Latest Practicable Date and completion of the Subscription). The issue of the Subscription Shares will result in Sureplan, the Subscribers, Mr. Yang, Mr. Xu and parties acting in concert with any of them increasing their voting rights in the Company by more than 2% within the 12-month period immediately prior to completion of the Subscription. An application has been made by the Subscribers to the Executive for the Whitewash Waiver to waive the obligation of the Subscribers to make a general offer for all the issued Shares not already owned or agreed to be acquired by the Subscribers, Sureplan, Mr. Yang, Mr. Xu and parties acting in concert with any of them which would otherwise arise under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code as a result of the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares to the Subscribers.

It is one of the conditions of the Subscription Agreement that the Whitewash Waiver be granted by the Executive and approved by the Independent Shareholders at the EGM by way of poll. The Executive has agreed that it will grant the Whitewash Waiver subject to the

– 19 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

approval of the Independent Shareholders. If the Whitewash Waiver is not granted by the Executive or not approved by the Independent Shareholders, the Subscription Agreement will not become unconditional and the Subscription will not proceed.

The Subscribers, Sureplan, Mr. Yang, Mr. Xu and parties acting in concert with any of them have not dealt in any securities in the Company during the Relevant Period.

Other arrangements

As at the Latest Practicable Date,

  • (i) there was no arrangement (whether by way of option, indemnity or otherwise) in relation to the Shares or the shares of the Subscribers and Sureplan, and which might be material to the Whitewash Waiver;

  • (ii) save for the Subscription Agreement, there was no other agreement or arrangement to which the Subscribers, Sureplan, Mr. Yang or Mr. Xu was a party which relates to the circumstances in which it may or may not invoke or seek to invoke a pre-condition or a condition to the Subscription or the Whitewash Waiver;

  • (iii) there was no outstanding derivative in respect of relevant securities (as defined in Note 4 to Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code) in the Company which has been entered into by the Subscribers, Sureplan, Mr. Yang, Mr. Xu or any person acting in concert with any of them;

  • (v) there were no relevant securities (as defined in Note 4 to Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code) in the Company which the Subscribers, Sureplan, Mr. Yang, Mr. Xu or any person acting in concert with any of them had borrowed or lent.

The Forecast

On 2 March 2010, the Company announced that the Group is expected to record a significant increase in profit for the financial year ended 31 December 2009 as compared to that of the financial year ended 31 December 2008. The significant improvement of the financial performance of the Group for the financial year ended 31 December 2009 was mainly attributable to the profit contribution from Smartpoint. As the acquisition of Smartpoint was completed on 6 February 2009, the financial results of Smartpoint have been consolidated into the Group with effect from the same date. This significant improvement of financial performance has taken into account the profit contribution from Smartpoint and the financial performance of the other subsidiaries of the Group, including DZH and FLX.

– 20 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company is still in the process of finalising its financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2009. The Company will announce its audited annual results for the year ended 31 December 2009 as soon as practicable but in no event later than 30 April 2010.

The above positive profit alert statement was issued after the preliminary assessment of the profit of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2009 by the Directors based on the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Group for the financial year ended 31 December 2009, and such statement constitutes a profit forecast under Rule 10 of the Takeovers Code. KPMG, the auditors of the Company, and Optima Capital, the financial adviser to the Company, have reported on the Forecast in accordance with Rule 10 of the Takeovers Code.

The texts of the reports of KPMG and Optima Capital on their opinions on the Forecast are set out in Appendix VI to this circular. The assumptions adopted by the Directors in preparing the Forecast are set out in the section headed “Assumptions” in Appendix VI.

LISTING RULES

As the Vendor owns a 93% equity interest in the Target Company which in turn holds a 49% interest in DZH (being a non wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company), he is a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules and the entering into of the Acquisition Agreement constitutes a connected transaction of the Company. As the relevant percentage ratios calculated pursuant to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Acquisition exceed 25% but are less than 100%, the Acquisition also constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. The Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are therefore subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the EGM by way of poll.

The Subscribers are connected persons of the Company under the Listing Rules and the Subscription Agreement constitutes a connected transaction of the Company pursuant to Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. The Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are therefore subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the EGM by way of poll.

VOTING

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Vendor and his associates did not hold any Shares. Profit Channel and Extra Benefit are wholly owned by Mr. Yang and Mr. Xu respectively. Mr. Yang and Mr. Xu are executive Directors and are in aggregate holding a 75% interest in Sureplan, which in turn hold 564,102,563 Shares (representing approximately 34.64% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date). Save for the aforesaid, the Subscribers and their respective associates did not hold any Shares. By reason of the requirements of the Takeovers Code and the Listing Rules as explained above, in respect of the Acquisition and the Subscription, the Vendor, the Subscribers and their respective associates are required to abstain from voting at the EGM in respect of the resolutions to approve the Acquisition Agreement and Subscription Agreement; and in respect of the Whitewash Waiver, the Subscribers, Sureplan, Mr. Yang, Mr. Xu,

Save as disclosed above, to the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors after having made all reasonable enquiries, no other Shareholder is required to abstain from voting in respect of the proposed resolutions to approve the Acquisition Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and the Whitewash Waiver at the EGM.

EGM

The EGM to approve the Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and the Whitewash Waiver will be held at Boardroom V, Ground Floor, Renaissance Harbour View Hotel Hong Kong, 1 Harbour Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong on Monday, 29 March 2010 at 10:00 a.m..

Dear Sir or Madam,

MAJOR AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION AND SUBSCRIPTION OF NEW SHARES BY CONNECTED PERSONS AND WHITEWASH WAIVER

INTRODUCTION

We refer to the circular of Winteam Pharmaceutical Group Limited dated 11 March 2010 (the “ Circular ”), of which this letter forms part, regarding, inter alia , the Acquisition, the Subscription and the Whitewash Waiver (collectively referred to as the “ Transactions ” in this letter). Unless the context otherwise requires, terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as defined in the Circular.

The Acquisition constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. Given the Vendor and the Subscribers are connected persons of the Company, the entering into of the Acquisition Agreement and the Subscription Agreement constitute connected transactions for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. The Acquisition and the Subscription are subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders by way of poll at the EGM.

Upon completion of the Subscription Agreement, the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares would result in the Subscribers, Mr. Yang, Mr. Xu, Sureplan and parties acting in concert with any of them (collectively referred to as the “ Concert Group ” in this letter) increasing their voting rights in the Company by more than 2% within the 12-month period ending on and inclusive of the date of completion of the Subscription Agreement. An application has been made by the Subscribers to the Executive for the Whitewash Waiver to waive the obligation of the Subscribers to make a general offer for all the issued Shares not already owned or agreed to be acquired by the Concert Group which would otherwise arise

2007 was the first full financial year in which the Group operated as a pharmaceutical manufacturer. Turnover has been on a growing trend. Turnover for the financial year 2008 increased by 24.6% on a year-on-year basis. The Directors have advised that the increase in turnover was mainly attributable to the upward adjustment of selling prices of the Group’s major products and the increase in demand for the products which was driven by the favourable socioeconomic factors such as the growth of the aging population in the PRC and the increased health consciousness of the society. Turnover for the six months ended 30 June 2009 increased by 39.2% on a period-on-period basis, which was mainly due to additional sales recorded as a result of the Medi-World Acquisition. Gross profit margin for the six months ended 30 June 2009 also increased significantly from 37% to 46.3% on a period-on-period basis, which was mainly attributable to more products with a higher profit margin being sold as a result of the Medi-World Acquisition and more stringent control being imposed on the costs of medicinal materials and packaging. On 2 March 2010, the Company issued

Fixed assets and construction in progress

The balances mainly represent the plant, machinery, equipment and buildings for the Group’s production and operations. Increase in the balances is mainly due to the Medi-World Acquisition in February 2009 whereby one production plant in Foshan City of Guangdong Province and one in Jining City of Shandong Province were added to the Group.

Intangible assets and goodwill

The balances mainly represent the goodwill arisen from the acquisitions as mentioned in the sub-section headed “ Information on the Group ” in this letter as well as the trademarks of the Group. Increase in the balances is mainly due to the Medi-World Acquisition whereby goodwill in connection therewith was recorded and additional trademarks were brought to the Group.

Cash position

For the six months ended 30 June 2009, the Group recorded a net cash inflow from its operating activities of approximately HK$56.7 million. As a result of the Medi-World Acquisition, the Group’s other financing activities and the changes of foreign exchange rates, the Group recorded an overall net cash outflow of approximately HK$1 million for the same period.

Bank loans and gearing ratio

The Group’s bank loans increased by approximately HK$88.3 million as at 30 June 2009 as compared to 31 December 2008, mainly as a result of the Medi-World Acquisition. The gearing ratio (bank loans divided by equity attributable to the Shareholders) of the Group was 15.9% as at 30 June 2009 as compared to 5.1% as at 31 December 2008. Among the bank loans, approximately 17% were unsecured and 83% were secured, and the loan interest rates ranged from 5.31% to 8.715% per annum.

Information on the Target Company and DZH

The Target Company is an investment holding company established in the PRC and holds a 49% equity interest in DZH which has been accounted for as an associated company of the Target Company. Except for the holding of this 49% equity interest in DZH, the Target Company has no other material assets and liabilities. Its accountants’ report is set out in Appendix II to the Circular.

LETTER FROM SHENYIN WANGUO

In September 2008, the State Council of the PRC published a draft plan with a view to easing the difficulties and minimising the costs for PRC citizens to obtain proper healthcare treatment. On 17 March 2009, the PRC government issued (the Opinion on Deepening the Healthcare System Reform). On 18 March 2009, the State Council of the PRC issued (2009 – 2011 ) (the Notice on Important Implementing Plans for the Healthcare System Reform 2009 – 2011). The goal of the healthcare reform plan (the “ Reform Proposal ”) is to establish a basic and universal healthcare framework to provide PRC citizens with safe, efficient, convenient and affordable healthcare. According to the Reform Proposal, a total of RMB850 billion was estimated to be invested by the PRC government at various levels of the public medical and healthcare system from 2009 to 2011. A significant portion is expended to establish a basic healthcare medical insurance regime which aims to cover over 90% of the national population by 2011. Another significant part of the spending plan focuses on healthcare facilities including thousands of rural clinics, county-level hospitals and urban community clinics in under-developed areas which are expected to be built by 2011.

The drug supply system which regulates pricing and how drugs are procured, prescribed and dispensed in healthcare facilities is also included in the Reform Proposal. On 18 August 2009, the State Council of the PRC released the National Essential Drugs List marking the establishment of a national list of essential drugs required to be stocked up and used by public medical and healthcare institutions and to be sold by retail chemists. The Directors have advised that the National Essential Drugs List covers over 300 types of medicine, 64 of which are the Group’s products including 17 from DZH. (Biyankang Tablet) is one of these 17 DZH’s products and is a popular patent product exclusively manufactured by DZH. Sales of (Biyankang Tablet) for the year ended 31 December 2009 represented approximately 48.7% of the total turnover of DZH for the same year.

In anticipation of the positive industry outlook as a result of the Reform Proposal and the establishment of the National Essential Drugs List, it is expected that demand for DZH’s Chinese medicine and pharmaceutical products, particularly, its exclusive patent products will increase which should have a positive effect on DZH’s operating performance. Therefore, we consider that the Acquisition represents an opportunity for the Group to further capture the upside potential of the pharmaceutical industry in the PRC which is expected to be benefited from the active PRC government support.

Turnover of DZH has been maintained at the level of over HK$200 million. Increase in turnover for 2008 was mainly due to the popularity of DZH’s products which was driven by the products’ stable quality and attractive pricing as well as due to the efficient marketing and expansion of sales network of DZH. Decrease in turnover for 2009 was mainly due to the global economic challenge since September 2008. The Directors have advised that sales of DZH’s key products, namely (Biyankang Tablet) and (Vitamin C Yinqiao Tablet) represented approximately 48.7% and 15.9% respectively of the total turnover of DZH for the year ended 31 December 2009.

In terms of gross profit margin, DZH has been performing satisfactorily for the three years ended 31 December 2009. The Directors have advised that such satisfactory performance was mainly due to appropriate cost control and marketing strategy adopted.

In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Consideration, we performed comparison of the PE multiple and the PB multiple implied by the Acquisition with the historical PE and PB multiples of selected comparable transactions and companies and the Group’s previous relevant acquisitions.

Set out below are all the transactions including the Nanhai Acquisition that involved an acquirer or vendors listed in Hong Kong and target companies principally engaged in a business similar to that of DZH during the period from 1 January 2009 to the Last Trading Day based on our searches conducted on a best efforts basis on Bloomberg and the website of the Stock Exchange:

  • (ii) This is the Nanhai Acquisition.

  • (iii) As there are only two applicable comparable transactions in respect of the historical PE multiples, each of the median and mean of such PE multiples is the same as each other which is equal to the average of the historical PE multiples of these two transactions.

We have noted that both the PE and PB multiples implied by the Acquisition of 7.12 times and 1.57 times respectively fall within the respective ranges of, and below the respective means and medians of, the historical PE and PB multiples of the selected comparable companies. Further, we have noted that the same PE and PB multiples implied by the Acquisition fall below the respective means and medians of the historical PE and PB multiples of the selected comparable transactions and the historical PE and PB multiples of each of the Group’s three previous relevant acquisitions i.e. the DZH and FLX Acquisition, the Medi-World Acquisition and the Nanhai Acquisition respectively, which we consider is favourable to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Therefore, we are of the view that the Consideration is fair and reasonable.

Subscription

On 4 February 2010, the Board announced that on 30 January 2010, the Company entered into the Subscription Agreement with the Subscribers and the Guarantors pursuant to which the Company has conditionally agreed to allot and issue and each of the Subscribers has conditionally agreed to subscribe for, on a several basis, 77,500,000 Subscription Shares at a price of HK$0.85 per Subscription Share.

The Subscription Price is at a discount of 2.3% to the closing Share price on the Last Trading Day and is at discounts of 7.6% and 12.4% to the 5-Day Average and the 10-Day Average respectively. Given that (a) each of such discounts falls within the range of, and below the mean and median of, the premiums and discounts of the placing prices and subscription prices over and to the relevant benchmarked prices as

– 46 –

LETTER FROM SHENYIN WANGUO

illustrated above; (b) the Subscription Price stayed above all the closing Share prices prior to 13 January 2010 over the Review Period; and (c) the Subscription Price is at an 107.3% premium over the NAV attributable to the Shareholders per Share as at 30 June 2009 which would result in net asset enhancement to the Shareholders, we consider that the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable in so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

(ii) Dilution of shareholdings

The Subscription Shares represent approximately 9.5% of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and approximately 8.7% of the issued Shares as enlarged by the Subscription Shares. The shareholdings of the Shareholders other than the Concert Group shall be diluted by approximately 8.7% from 65.36% as at the Latest Practicable Date to 59.68% upon completion of the Subscription Agreement.

The Directors have considered alternative fund raising means to finance the Acquisition which include (a) debt financing; and (b) a rights issue. The issuance of the Subscription Shares is considered appropriate as it is fast, relatively straightforward, interest-free and gearing-free as compared to the alternatives despite its dilutive impact on the existing shareholdings. Further, debt financing and a rights issue usually take a longer period of time for the Group to negotiate with the lenders or the underwriters (as the case may be). For a rights issue, the process may be even longer as it involves the issue of a prospectus and the Shareholders who choose not to participate in the issue will suffer from even severer dilution of their shareholdings as a more substantial discount of the subscription price to the prevailing Share price is usually expected of a rights issue.

The Subscription also represents an opportunity for Mr. Yang and Mr. Xu who are the executive Directors and controlling Shareholders to increase their investments in the Company. We are given to understand that Mr. Yang and Mr. Xu, together with other members of senior management of the Group, are responsible for implementing the development strategies as outlined in the 2009 interim report of the Company with a view to achieving higher growth and performance for the Group. We consider that the

– 47 –

LETTER FROM SHENYIN WANGUO

Subscription provides further impetus to Mr. Yang and Mr. Xu who are important to the future performance of the Group to implement such strategies and is therefore beneficial to the Company in this regard.

Financial effects of the Acquisition and the Subscription on the Enlarged Group

Since DZH is a subsidiary of the Company, its financial statements have been consolidated into the financial statements of the Group prior to completion of the Acquisition Agreement. After completion of the Acquisition Agreement, the financial statements of the Target Company will be consolidated into the financial statements of the Group. The unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group taking into account the Acquisition (the “ Pro Forma Financial Information ”) is set out in Appendix IV to the Circular for illustrative purposes. The Directors have anticipated the professional fees and other expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the Transactions to be around HK$1.7 million.

Set out below are the financial effects of the Acquisition and the Subscription on the Enlarged Group:

(i) Net asset value

We have noted from the Pro Forma Financial Information that the net assets attributable to the Shareholders would decrease from approximately HK$670,221,000 to HK$639,918,000 (“ Decrease ”) in the event that the Subscription does not proceed and as if the Acquisition had been completed on 30 June 2009. Such Decrease is mainly due to the recognition of the premium of the cash Consideration over the carrying value of the Target Company (including its 49% equity interest in DZH) attributable to the Sale Interest in the reserves of the Enlarged Group. On account of the fairness and reasonableness of the Consideration as discussed in the sub-section headed “ Evaluation of the Consideration ”, we are of the view that the Decrease is justifiable.

Taking account of the Subscription Price being at an 107.3% premium over the NAV attributable to the Shareholders per Share as at 30 June 2009, the Subscription would result in net asset enhancement to the Shareholders. We consider that the possible enhancement in the net assets attributable to the Shareholders is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

(ii) Results

Prior to completion of the Acquisition Agreement, DZH is a 51% owned subsidiary of the Company. While 100% of DZH’s results are consolidated into the Group’s income statement, only 51% of which are attributable to the Shareholders. Following the Acquisition, the Company will increase its attributable interest in DZH from 51% to 96.57% and, hence, the sharing of the results of DZH by the Shareholders will increase accordingly.

LETTER FROM SHENYIN WANGUO

(iii) Cash flow

Since the Consideration is expected to be principally financed by the Company allotting and issuing the Subscription Shares, there will be no material impact on the cash flow of the Enlarged Group in this regard. Otherwise, depending on the ultimate financing structure, the Enlarged Group’s cash position may decrease accordingly if all or part of the Consideration is financed by its internal resources.

(iv) Gearing

Since the Target Company and DZH are debt-free and taking into account that the Consideration is principally financed by the Company allotting and issuing the Subscription Shares, the gearing ratio of the Enlarged Group is expected to decrease upon completion of the Acquisition Agreement and the Subscription Agreement.

In the event that the Subscription does not proceed and the Consideration is fully financed by the Group’s cash, the gearing ratio (bank loans divided by equity attributable to the Shareholders) of the Enlarged Group would increase from 15.9% to 16.6% as if the Acquisition had been completed on 30 June 2009. Such increase in the gearing ratio is due to the Decrease which we have considered is justifiable as discussed in the paragraph headed “ (i) Net asset value ” in this letter.

Whitewash Waiver

Assuming no further Shares will be issued by the Company prior to the allotment and issue of the 155,000,000 Subscription Shares upon completion of the Subscription Agreement, the interests held by the Concert Group will increase from approximately 34.64% to 40.32% of the issued Shares as enlarged by the Subscription Shares. In other words, the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares would result in the Concert Group increasing its voting rights in the Company by more than 2% within the 12-month period ending on and inclusive of the date of completion of the Subscription Agreement. In such circumstances, an obligation for the Subscribers to make a general offer for all the issued Shares not already owned or agreed to be acquired by the Concert Group will arise under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

An application has been made by the Subscribers to the Executive for the Whitewash Waiver pursuant to Note 1 on Dispensations from Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders by way of poll at the EGM, the Executive has agreed to grant the Whitewash Waiver.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, completion of the Subscription Agreement is subject to, inter alia , the Whitewash Waiver having been granted by the Executive and approved by the Independent Shareholders by way of poll at the EGM. As a result, if the Whitewash Waiver is not granted by the Executive or not approved by the Independent Shareholders, the Subscription Agreement will not become unconditional and the Subscription will not proceed, and the benefits derived from the Subscription as discussed in the sub-section headed “ Subscription ” will not accrue to the Company.

– 49 –

LETTER FROM SHENYIN WANGUO

Taking into account the terms and conditions of the Subscription Agreement including the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price and the issuance of the Subscription Shares being an appropriate way to finance the Acquisition as discussed in the sub-section headed “ Subscription ”, we consider that the Subscription is on normal commercial terms and the terms of the Subscription Agreement (including completion of the Subscription Agreement being subject to, inter alia , the Whitewash Waiver having been granted by the Executive and approved by the Independent Shareholders by way of poll at the EGM) are fair and reasonable in so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Upon completion of the Subscription Agreement, the Concert Group will hold approximately 40.32% of the issued Shares as enlarged by the Subscription Shares. As such, any further acquisition of voting rights in the Company by the Concert Group which will increase its shareholding by more than 2% in any 12-month period may be subject to the obligation to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code.

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Effective from 4 September 2009, the Company’s name has changed from “Wing Shan International Limited” to “Winteam Pharmaceutical Group Limited”. The Group started its pharmaceutical business since completion of the DZH and FLX Acquisition in October 2006. DZH has been performing well and has recorded satisfactory results for the three financial years subsequent to the DZH and FLX Acquisition. Following the Acquisition, the Company will increase its attributable interest in DZH from 51% to 96.57% and, hence, the profit attributable to the Shareholders is expected to increase accordingly. In view of the satisfactory performance of DZH in the past and the favourable socioeconomic factors such as the growth of the aging population in the PRC, increased health consciousness of the society and the active PRC government support as discussed in the sub-section headed “ Information on the Target Company and DZH ”, we consider that the Acquisition, which is also in line with the merger and acquisition strategy and the industry consolidation trend as outlined in the 2007 and 2008 annual reports and the 2009 interim report of the Company, is a reasonable strategic move and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

We have been advised by the Directors that the Consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the parties to the Acquisition Agreement. We have compared the PE multiple and the PB multiple implied by the Acquisition with the historical PE and PB multiples of selected comparable transactions and companies and the Group’s previous relevant acquisitions. As discussed in the sub-section headed “ Evaluation of the Consideration ” with reference to the relevant PE and PB multiples, we consider that the Consideration is fair and reasonable.

Taking into account the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Agreement including the fairness and reasonableness of the Consideration, we consider that the Acquisition is on normal commercial terms and the terms of the Acquisition Agreement are fair and reasonable in so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM SHENYIN WANGUO

The Directors have advised that the net proceeds of approximately HK$130 million raised from the Subscription will be used to finance the Acquisition, which will be funded by the internal resources and bank borrowings of the Group in the event that the Subscription does not proceed. The issuance of the Subscription Shares is considered appropriate as it is fast, relatively straightforward, interest-free and gearing-free as compared to the alternatives such as debt financing and a rights issue despite its dilutive impact on the existing shareholdings. Further, the Subscription provides further impetus to Mr. Yang and Mr. Xu who are important to the future performance of the Group to implement the Group’s relevant development strategies and is therefore beneficial to the Company in this regard. Taking into account the terms and conditions of the Subscription Agreement including the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price and the issuance of the Subscription Shares being an appropriate way to finance the Acquisition, we consider that the Subscription is on normal commercial terms and the terms of the Subscription Agreement are fair and reasonable in so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Whitewash Waiver is required to be granted by the Executive and approved by the Independent Shareholders by way of poll at the EGM. Since we are of the view that the Subscription is fair and reasonable and the issuance of the Subscription Shares is an appropriate way to finance the Acquisition, we consider that the Whitewash Waiver is fair and reasonable and is in the interests of the Independent Shareholders.

As noted from the Pro Forma Financial Information, the net assets attributable to the Shareholders would decrease (the gearing ratio of the Enlarged Group would increase from 15.9% to 16.6% accordingly) as if the Acquisition had been completed without the Subscription on 30 June 2009, which we consider is justifiable on account of the fairness and reasonableness of the Consideration as discussed in the sub-section headed “ Evaluation of the Consideration ”.

Taking account of the Subscription Price being at an 107.3% premium over the NAV attributable to the Shareholders per Share as at 30 June 2009, the Subscription would result in net asset enhancement to the Shareholders. Further, the Acquisition, together with the Subscription, would involve no material initial cash outlay to the Enlarged Group and the gearing ratio of the Enlarged Group would improve as well.

OPINION

Having taken into account the principal factors and reasons set out above, we are of the view that (i) the Acquisition and the Subscription, which are not in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, are on normal commercial terms; (ii) the terms of the Acquisition Agreement and the Subscription Agreement, and the Whitewash Waiver are fair and reasonable; and (iii) the Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, and the Whitewash Waiver are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

– 51 –

LETTER FROM SHENYIN WANGUO

Accordingly, we recommend the Listing Rules Independent Board Committee to advise, and we ourselves advise, the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, and the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder; and we recommend the Whitewash Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, and the Whitewash Waiver.

Yours faithfully, for and on behalf of Shenyin Wanguo Capital (H.K.) Limited Felix Chan Associate Director

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

(Expressed in Hong Kong dollars unless otherwise indicated)

1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Statement of compliance

The consolidated accounts for the year ended 31 December 2008 comprise Wing Shan International Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”).

These accounts 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 accounts 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 accounts.

(b) Basis of preparation of the accounts

The measurement basis used in the preparation of the accounts is the historical cost basis except that financial instruments classified as available-for-sale securities are stated at their fair values as explained in accounting policy set out in note 1(e).

The preparation of accounts 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 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 recognized 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 accounts and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are discussed in note 31.

(c) Subsidiaries and minority 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 accounts from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Intra-group balances and transactions and any unrealized profits arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full in preparing the consolidated accounts. Unrealized losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

– 63 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Minority interests represent the portion of the net assets of subsidiaries attributable to interests that are not owned by the Company, whether directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, 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. Minority interests are presented in the consolidated balance sheet within equity, separately from equity attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company. Minority interests in the results of the Group are presented on the face of the consolidated profit and loss account as an allocation of the total profit or loss for the year between minority interests and the equity shareholders of the Company.

Where losses applicable to the minority exceed the minority’s interest in the equity of a subsidiary, the excess, and any further losses applicable to the minority, are charged against the Group’s interest except to the extent that the minority has a binding obligation to, and is able to, make additional investment to cover the losses. If the subsidiary subsequently reports profits, the Group’s interest is allocated all such profits until the minority’s share of losses previously absorbed by the Group has been recovered.

In the Company’s balance sheet, an investment in a subsidiary is stated at cost less impairment losses (see note 1(j)).

(d) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of a business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities.

Goodwill is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill arising on a business combination is allocated to cash-generating units and is tested annually for impairment (see note 1(j)).

Any excess of the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of a business combination is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

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) Investments in equity securities

The Group’s investments in equity securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and are initially stated at cost, which is their transaction price plus attributable transaction costs unless fair value can be more reliably estimated using valuation techniques whose variables include only data from observable markets. These investments are subsequently remeasured at each balance sheet date with any resultant gain or loss being recognized directly in equity. Dividend income from these investments is recognized in profit or loss in accordance with the policy set out in note 1(s)(iii). When these investments are derecognized or impaired (see note 1(j)), the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized directly in equity is recognized in profit or loss.

Investments are recognized/derecognized on the date the Group commits to purchase/sell the investments or they expire.

(f) Investment property

Investment properties are land and/or buildings which are owned or held under a leasehold interest to earn rental income and/or for capital appreciation. These include land held for a currently undetermined future use.

Investment properties are stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see note 1(j)). Rental income from investment properties is accounted for as described in note 1(s)(ii). Depreciation is provided over the properties’ estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. Estimated useful lives of investment properties are 25 to 50 years.

– 64 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

When the Group holds a property interest under an operating lease to earn rental income and/or for capital appreciation, the interest is classified and accounted for as an investment property on a property-by-property basis. Any such property interest which has been classified as an investment property is accounted for as if it were held under a finance lease (see note 1(u)), and the same accounting policies are applied to that interest as are applied to other investment properties leased under finance leases. Lease payments are accounted for as described in note 1(u).

Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of an investment property are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item and are recognized in profit or loss on the date of retirement or disposal.

(g) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see note 1(j)).

Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed 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 recognized in profit or loss on the date of retirement or disposal.

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost 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 Buildings situated on leasehold land are depreciated over the shorter of the unexpired term of
lease and their estimated useful lives.
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(j)). 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 recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Expenditure on development activities is capitalized if the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Group has sufficient resources and the intention to complete development. The expenditure capitalized includes the costs of materials, direct labour, and an appropriate proportion of overheads and borrowing costs, where applicable. Capitalized development costs are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Other development expenditure is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

– 65 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group are stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated amortization (where the estimated useful life is finite) and impairment losses (see note 1(j)).

Amortization 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 amortized 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 50 years

Both the period and method of amortization are reviewed annually.

Intangible assets are not amortized 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 amortization of intangible assets with finite lives as set out above.

(j) Impairment of assets

  • (i) Impairment of investments in equity securities and trade and other receivables

Investments in equity securities (other than investments in subsidiaries) and other current and non-current receivables that are stated at cost or amortized cost or are classified as available-for-sale securities are reviewed at each balance sheet date 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 reorganization;

  • 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.

If any such evidence exists, any impairment loss is determined and recognized as follows:

  • For trade and other current receivables and other financial assets carried at amortized 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 amortized 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.

– 66 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

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 recognized, 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 recognized in prior years.

  • For available-for-sale securities, the cumulative loss that has been recognized directly in equity is removed from equity and is recognized in profit or loss. The amount of the cumulative loss that is recognized in profit or loss is the difference between the acquisition cost (net of any principal repayment and amortization) and current fair value, less any impairment loss on that asset previously recognized in profit or loss.

Impairment losses recognized 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 recognized directly in equity.

Impairment losses are written off against the corresponding assets directly, except for impairment losses recognized in respect of trade and bills receivables 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 and bills receivables 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 recognized in profit or loss.

(ii) Impairment of other assets

Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at each balance sheet date to identify indications that the following assets may be impaired or, except in the case of goodwill, an impairment loss previously recognized 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;

  • investments in subsidiaries; and

  • goodwill.

If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. In addition, for goodwill 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 net selling price 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 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).

– 67 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Recognition of impairment losses

An impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss whenever the carrying amount of an asset, or the cash-generating unit to which it belongs, exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognized 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 recognized in prior years. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the year in which the reversals are recognized.

(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 (j)(i) and (ii)).

Impairment losses recognized in an interim period in respect of goodwill and available-for-sale equity securities are not reversed in a subsequent period. This is the case even if no loss, or a smaller loss, would have been recognized 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 available-for-sale equity securities increases in the remainder of the annual period, or in any other period subsequently, the increase is recognized in equity and not profit or loss.

(k) Inventories

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable 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.

Net realizable 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 recognized as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realizable value and all losses of inventories are recognized as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories is recognized as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognized as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.

(l) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are initially recognized at fair value and thereafter stated at amortized cost less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts (see note 1(j)), unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such case, they are stated at cost less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts (see note 1(j)).

– 68 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

(m) Interest-bearing borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are recognized initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortized cost with any difference between amount initially recognized and redemption value being recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings, together with any interest and fees payable, using the effective interest method.

(n) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently stated at amortized cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

(o) 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.

(p) Employees benefits

(i) 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.

(ii) Share-based payments

The fair value of share options granted to employees is recognized as an employee cost with a corresponding increase in a capital reserve within equity. The fair value is measured at the grant date using the binomial lattice model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. Where the employees have to meet vesting conditions before becoming unconditionally entitled to the share options, the total estimated fair value of the share options is spread over the vesting period, taking into account the probability that the options will vest.

During the vesting period, the number of share options that is expected to vest is reviewed. Any adjustment to the cumulative fair value recognized in prior years is charged/credited to the profit or loss for the year of the review with a corresponding adjustment to the capital reserve. On the vesting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that vest (with a corresponding adjustment to the capital reserve) except where forfeiture is only due to not achieving vesting conditions that relate to the market price of the Company’s shares. The equity amount is recognized in the capital reserve until either the option is exercised (when it is transferred to the share premium account) or the option expires (when it is released directly to retained profits).

No benefit cost or obligation is recognized at the date of grant or exercise for share options granted on or before 7 November 2002 as the Group has taken advantage of the transitional provisions set out in HKFRS 2 “Share-based payment”, under which the recognition and measurement policies have not been applied to all options granted to employees on or before 7 November 2002.

– 69 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

(q) 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 recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to items recognized directly in equity, in which case they are recognized in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rate enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

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 utilized, are recognized. 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 utilized.

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 difference, unless it is probable that they will reverse in the future.

The amount of deferred tax recognized is measured based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date 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 utilized. Any such reduction is reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.

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 realize 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

APPENDIX I

  • 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 realize the current tax assets and settle the current tax liabilities on a net basis or realize and settle simultaneously.

(r) Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognized 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.

(s) Revenue recognition

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 recognized in profit or loss as follows:

(i) Sale of goods

Revenue is recognized 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 recognized 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 recognized in profit or loss as an integral part of the aggregate net lease payments receivable. Contingent rentals are recognized as income in the accounting period in which they are earned.

(iii) Dividends

Dividend income from listed investments is recognized when the share price of the investment goes ex-dividend.

  • (iv) Interest income

Interest income is recognized as it accrues using the effective interest method.

(v) Government grants

Government grants are recognized in the balance sheet initially as deferred income 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 recognized as revenue in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the same period in which the expenses are incurred. Grants that compensate the Group for the cost of an asset are deducted from the carrying amount of the asset and consequently are effectively recognized in profit or loss over the useful life of the asset by way of reduced depreciation expense.

APPENDIX I

(t) Translation of foreign currencies

For the purpose of presenting the consolidated accounts, the Group adopted Hong Kong dollars (“HKD”) as its presentation currency. The functional currencies of the Company and the subsidiaries incorporated in Hong Kong are HKD and the functional currencies of the subsidiaries established in the PRC are Renminbi (“RMB”).

Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated into the functional currency of the entity at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the entity at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains and loss are recognized in profit or loss.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency of the entity 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 into the functional currency of the entity using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was determined.

The results of foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Group at the exchange rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Balance sheet items, including goodwill arising on consolidation of foreign operations acquired on or after 1 January 2005, are translated into the presentation currency of the Group at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. The resulting exchange differences are recognized directly in a separate component of equity. Goodwill arising on consolidation of a foreign operation acquired before 1 January 2005 is translated into the presentation currency of the Group at the foreign exchange rate that applied at the date of acquisition of the foreign operation.

On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences recognized in equity which relate to that foreign operation is included in the calculation of profit or loss on disposal.

(u) 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 recognized 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.

– 72 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

The cost of acquiring land held under an operating lease is amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease term.

(v) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are expensed in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred, except to the extent that they are capitalized as being 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.

The capitalization 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. Capitalization 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 accounts, 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

A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged either in providing products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments.

The Group primarily operates in one business segment – manufacture and sale of pharmaceutical products. It operates principally in one geographical segment – the PRC. Substantially all of the Group’s assets are located in the PRC. Accordingly, no analysis of the segment information is presented.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Pursuant to the income tax rules and regulations of the PRC, the applicable PRC enterprise income tax rate of the Group’s subsidiaries, Foshan Dezhong Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“DZH”) and Foshan Feng Liao Xing Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“FLX”) was 27% for the years prior to 31 December 2007. FLX was recognized as a new high technology enterprise pursuant to document “ ” issued by The Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation of Guangdong Province and received approvals from the Foshan Tax Bureau for a three-year income tax reduction to 12% up to 31 December 2007. Hence, FLX was subject to PRC enterprise income tax at 12% for the year ended 31 December 2007.

On 16 March 2007, the Fifth Plenary Session of the Tenth National People’s Congress passed the Corporate Income Tax Law of the PRC (“new tax law”) which took effect on 1 January 2008. As a result of the new tax law, the income tax rate applicable to DZH and FLX changed from 27% to 25% with effect from 1 January 2008. The change in the carrying amount of the deferred tax liabilities as a result of the change in tax rate from 27% to 25% had been reflected in the consolidated accounts of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2007.

Pursuant to documents issued jointly by Guangdong Science and Technology Department, Guangdong Provincial Finance Bureau, Guangdong Provincial Office of the State Administration of Taxation and Guangdong Provincial Local Taxation Bureau, DZH and FLX were recognized as advanced and new technology enterprises to enjoy a preferential enterprise income tax rate of 15% for a three-year period with effect from 1 January 2008. As a result of the change in tax rate to 15% for a three-year period, the change in the carrying amount of the current tax payable and deferred tax liabilities has been reflected in these consolidated accounts.

In addition, under the new tax law, the gross amount of dividends received by the Company from its PRC subsidiaries in respect of their profits generated after 1 January 2008 is subject to withholding tax at a rate of 5%. Under the grandfathering treatments, the undistributed profits of the PRC subsidiaries as at 31 December 2007 are exempted from withholding tax.

(b) Reconciliation between tax expense and accounting profit at applicable tax rates:

Profit before taxation
Notional tax on profit before taxation, calculated at rates applicable
to profit in the countries concerned
Tax effect on non-deductible expenses
Tax effect on non-taxable revenue

During the year, the directors assessed the recoverable amount of the Group’s product protection right in respect of one of the pharmaceutical products and determined that it was impaired, because that pharmaceutical product was selling at a gross loss. Accordingly, an impairment loss of $1,811,000 (2007: Nil) was recognized. The recoverable amount of the product protection right was estimated based on its value in use. The estimate of value in use was determined using a discount rate of 13%.

The amortization charge and impairment loss for the year are included in “cost of sales” in the consolidated profit and loss account.

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% (2007: 3%) and no growth in sales volume. The rate used to discount the forecast cash flows is 13% (2007: 12%).

Management believes that any reasonably possible change in any of these key assumptions would not cause the carrying amount of the CGU to exceed the recoverable amount.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Trade receivables are due within 30 to 90 days from the date of billing. All of the trade and other receivables are expected to be recovered within one year. Further details on the Group’s credit policy are set out in note 29(a).

(b) Impairment of trade and bills receivables

Impairment losses in respect of trade 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 and bills receivables directly (see note 1(j)(i)).

The movements in the allowance for doubtful debts during the year, including both specific and collective loss components, are as follows:

At 31 December 2008, the Group’s trade receivables of $3,871,000 (2007: $3,153,000) were individually determined to be impaired. The individually impaired receivables related to receivables that were overdue more than one year and management assessed that only a portion of these receivables is expected to be recovered. Consequently, specific allowances for doubtful debts of $2,647,000 (2007: $2,372,000) were recognized. The Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.

(c) Trade and bills receivables that are not impaired

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

As at 31 December 2008, receivables that were neither past due nor impaired individually amounted to $39,509,000 (2007: $50,484,000).

Receivables that were not impaired relate to a number of independent customers that have a good track record with the Group and no recent history of default. 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.

A writ of summons was served by DZH on Guangdong Guanghong Medicines Company Limited (“Guangdong Guanghong”) in 2005 in respect of a claim for the payment of sales amount of goods sold to Guangdong Guanghong by DZH of approximately RMB1,345,000 (equivalent to $1,529,000) together with related interest.

On 15 November 2006, a judgement (“the Judgement”) was issued by Foshan Chancheng District People’s Court of Guangdong Province (“the People’s Court”) against Guangdong Guanghong for a sum of RMB1,345,000 together with interest. In response, Guangdong Guanghong filed an appeal against the Judgement. On 15 March 2007, Foshan Intermediate People’s Court of Guangdong Province (“the Intermediate People’s Court”) issued a judgement whereby the validity of the Judgement against Guangdong Guanghong was revoked and the case was re-heard by the People’s Court on 20 November 2007. On 4 March 2008, a judgement was issued by the People’s Court in favour of DZH in respect of the above claim. On 25 March 2008, Guangdong Guanghong made an appeal to the Intermediate People’s Court. On 2 December 2008, a final judgement was issued by the Intermediate People’s Court in favour of DZH.

The directors are of the opinion that DZH has been successful in the above claim and no allowance for doubtful debts should be made on the outstanding debt of $1,529,000 which has been overdue more than one year.

The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per share at meeting of the Company. All ordinary shares rank equally with regard to the Company’s residual assets.

On 28 June and 21 August 2007, options were exercised to subscribe for 528,000 and 300,000 ordinary shares in the Company respectively at total consideration of $289,800, of which $82,800 was credited to share capital and the balance of $207,000 was credited to the share premium account.

– 91 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Following the completion of the acquisition of new subsidiaries on 6 February 2009 as disclosed in note 30(a), 797,436,563 ordinary shares were issued after the balance sheet date.

(d) Share premium and capital redemption reserve

The application of the share premium account and capital redemption reserve is governed by Sections 48B and 49H respectively of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

On 12 October 2007, the High Court of the HKSAR issued an order to confirm that accumulated losses of $837,876,000 would be offset by a corresponding reduction of the share premium account.

(e) Exchange reserve

The exchange reserve comprises all foreign exchange differences arising from the translation of the accounts of foreign operations. The reserve is dealt with in accordance with the accounting policy set out in note 1(t).

(f) Reserve fund

In accordance with the accounting principles and financial regulations applicable in the PRC, the PRC subsidiaries are required to transfer part of its profit after taxation to the reserve fund. The transfer amounts are determined by the subsidiary’s board of directors in accordance with the articles of association and the transfers are made before profit distribution to the equity holders of the subsidiary. Reserve fund can only be used to make good losses, if any, and for increasing capital.

(g) Fair value reserve

The fair value reserve comprises the cumulative net change in the fair value of available-for-sale securities held at the balance sheet date, and is dealt with in accordance with the accounting policy set out in note 1(e).

(h) Capital reserve

The capital reserve represents the fair value of the actual or estimated number of unexercised share options granted to employees of the Company recognized in accordance with the accounting policy adopted for share-based payments in note 1(p)(ii).

(i) Distributability of reserves

At 31 December 2008, the aggregate amount of reserves available for distribution to equity shareholders of the Company was $11,771,000 (2007: $6,754,000). After the balance sheet date the directors proposed a final dividend of 0.7 cent (2007: 0.5 cent) per ordinary share, amounting to $11,399,000 (2007: $4,155,000). This dividend has not been recognized as a liability at the balance sheet date.

(j) 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 shareholder 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.

– 92 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Consistent with industry practice, the Group monitors its capital structure on the basis of an adjusted debt-to-equity ratio. For this purpose the Group defines debt as total debt (which includes trade and other payables and bank loans) plus unaccrued proposed dividends. Equity comprises all components of equity less unaccrued proposed dividends.

During 2008, the Group’s strategy, which remains unchanged from 2007, is to maintain the capital in order to cover any debt position.

The adjusted debt-to-equity ratio at 31 December 2008 and 2007 is as follows:

Current liabilities:
Trade and other payables
Bank loans
Add: Proposed dividends
Adjusted debt

Less: Proposed dividends

26 EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT BENEFITS

The Group operates a Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme (“the MPF scheme”) under the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance for employees employed under the jurisdiction of the Hong Kong Employment Ordinance. The MPF scheme is a defined contribution retirement plan administered by independent trustees. Under the MPF scheme, the employer and its employees are each required to make contributions to the plan at 5% of the employee’s relevant income, subject to a cap of monthly relevant income of $20,000. Apart from the mandatory contributions, the employer would make monthly voluntary contributions. The aggregate of the mandatory and voluntary contributions made by the employer represents 5% of the basic salary of the employees. Mandatory contributions to the plan vest immediately. Where there are employees who leave the Group prior to vesting fully in the voluntary contributions, the contributions payable by the Group are reduced by the amount of forfeited contributions.

Employees in the Group’s PRC subsidiaries are members of the state-managed retirement scheme. The PRC subsidiaries are required to contribute a specified percentage of the payroll to the scheme. The only obligation of the Group with respect to the retirement scheme is to make the specified contributions.

The Group has no other material obligation for payment of retirement benefits beyond the annual contributions as described above.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

27 EQUITY SETTLED SHARE-BASED TRANSACTIONS

The Company has a share option scheme which was adopted on 22 May 2002 whereby the directors of the Company are authorized, at their discretion, to invite employees of the Group, including directors of any company in the Group, to take up options to subscribe for shares of the Company. The exercise price of options is the highest of the nominal value of the shares, the closing price of the shares on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited at the date of grant and the average closing price of the shares on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited for the five business days immediately preceding the date of grant. The options vest after six months from the date of grant and are then exercisable within a period of five years. Each option gives the holder the right to subscribe for one ordinary share in the Company.

No benefit cost or obligation is recognized at the date of grant or exercise for share options granted on 30 July 2002 as the Group has taken advantage of the transitional provisions set out in HKFRS 2 “Share-based payment”, under which the recognition and measurement policies have not been applied to all options granted to employees on or before 7 November 2002. On 30 January 2008, these 8,000,000 share options in total were lapsed.

On 2 January 2008, each of the three independent non-executive directors of the Company was granted 828,000 share options under the Company’s share option scheme to subscribe for 828,000 ordinary shares. Pursuant to the amendments made to the share option scheme adopted on 22 May 2002, these share options vest immediately on 2 January 2008 and have an exercise period of five years. The exercise price is $0.434 per share, being the average closing price of the shares on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited for the five business days immediately preceding the date of grant.

The fair value of the share options granted on 2 January 2008 of $490,000 was recognized as share-based compensation expenses in profit or loss during the year. On 19 March 2008, these 2,484,000 share options in total were lapsed following a mandatory unconditional cash offer for the shares of the Company.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

29 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Exposure to credit, liquidity, interest rate and foreign 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.

These risks are limited by the Group’s financial management policies and practices described below.

(a) Credit risk

The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to trade 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 2008, the Group has no concentration of credit risk.

The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of the asset in the balance sheet 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.

– 96 –

(c) Interest rate risk

The Group’s interest rate risk arises primarily from short-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group’s interest rate profile as monitored by management is set out in (i) below.

Interest rate profile

The following table details the interest rate profile of the Group’s total borrowings at the balance sheet date.

The bank loans are issued at fixed rate and hence, no sensitivity analysis is presented.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

(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, DZH and FLX, mainly carried out transactions in RMB, therefore any appreciation or depreciation of HKD against RMB will affect the Group’s financial position and reflect 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 balance sheet date.

(593)

The sensitivity analysis has been determined assuming that the reasonably possible changes in share price of equity investments had occurred at the balance sheet date 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 balance sheet date. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2007.

(f) Fair values

The amounts due from subsidiaries are unsecured, interest free and have no fixed terms of repayment. Given these terms it is not meaningful to disclose their fair values.

All remaining financial instruments are carried at amounts not materially different from their fair values as at 31 December 2008 and 2007.

(g) Estimation of fair values

The following summarizes the major methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair values of financial instruments:

(i) Securities

Fair value is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date without any deduction for transaction costs.

(ii) Interest-bearing loans and borrowings

Fair value is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at current market interest rates for similar financial instruments.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

(h) Business risk

The Group is dependent on specific herb materials for its production of certain pharmaceutical products. At 31 December 2008, the Group has a certain concentration of business risk as 36% (2007: 20%) of the total purchases were made from the Group’s five largest suppliers. If the Group could not purchase adequate quantity of specific herb materials from these suppliers and failed to identify alternative sources, its results and financial position could be adversely affected.

30 NON-ADJUSTING POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS

The Group’s financial condition and results of operations are sensitive to accounting methods, assumptions and estimates that underlie the preparation of the accounts. 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 accounts. 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 accounts.

(a) Impairment

If circumstances indicate that the net book value of fixed assets, construction in progress, intangible assets, interest in subsidiaries and goodwill may not be recoverable, these assets may be considered “impaired”, and an impairment loss may be recognized in accordance with HKAS 36 “Impairment of assets”. The carrying amounts of these assets are reviewed 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. For goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated annually to assess if the carrying amount may not be recoverable whether or not there is any indication of impairment. 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 amortization

Fixed assets and intangible assets are depreciated and amortized 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 amortization 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 amortization 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.

32 POSSIBLE IMPACT OF AMENDMENTS, NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2008

Up to the date of issue of these accounts, the HKICPA has issued a number of amendments, new standards and interpretations which are not yet effective for the year ended 31 December 2008 and which have not been adopted in these accounts.

The Group is in the process of making an assessment of what the impact of these amendments, new standards and new interpretations 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.

In addition, the following developments are expected to result in amended disclosures in the accounts, including restatement of comparative amounts in the first period of adoption:

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT

(Expressed in Hong Kong dollars)

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

This interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”), including compliance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard (“HKAS”) 34 “Interim financial reporting” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”). It was authorized for issue on 17 September 2009.

The interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies adopted in the 2008 annual financial statements, except for the accounting policy changes that are expected to be reflected in the 2009 annual financial statements. Details of these changes in accounting policies are set out in note 2.

The preparation of an interim financial report in conformity with HKAS 34 requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses on a year to date basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

This interim financial report contains condensed consolidated financial statements and selected explanatory notes. The notes include an explanation of events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Group since the 2008 annual financial statements. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereon do not include all of the information required for a full set of financial statements prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”).

This interim financial report is unaudited, but has been reviewed by the Audit Committee of the Company. It has also been reviewed by KPMG in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 “Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity” issued by the HKICPA. KPMG’s independent review report to the Board of Directors is included on page 37.

The financial information relating to the financial year ended 31 December 2008 that is included in the interim financial report as being previously reported information does not constitute the Company’s statutory financial statements for that financial year but is derived from those financial statements. Statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2008 are available from the Company’s registered office. The auditors have expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements in their report dated 23 April 2009.

2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The HKICPA has issued one new HKFRS, a number of amendments to HKFRSs and 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 8, Operating segments

  • HKAS 1 (revised 2007), Presentation of financial statements

  • Improvements to HKFRSs (2008)

  • Amendments to HKAS 27, Consolidated and separate financial statements – cost of an investment in a subsidiary, jointly controlled entity or associate

  • Amendments to HKFRS 7, Financial instruments: Disclosures – improving disclosures about financial instruments

– 108 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

The Improvements to HKFRSs (2008) has had no material impact on the Group’s financial statements as the amendments are consistent with policies already adopted by the Group. In addition, the amendments to HKFRS 7 do not contain any additional disclosure requirements specifically applicable to the interim financial report. The impact of the remainder of these developments on the interim financial report is as follows:

  • HKFRS 8 requires segment disclosure to be based on the way that the Group’s chief operating decision maker regards and manages the Group, with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Group’s chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters. The adoption of HKFRS 8 has resulted in the presentation of segment information in a manner that is more consistent with internal reporting provided to the Group’s most senior executive management. The Group operates in a single business segment, which is manufacturing and sale of pharmaceutical products including pills and tablets, medicine wine, injections, paste, granules and others in the PRC. Accordingly, no segmental analysis is presented.

  • As a result of the adoption of HKAS 1 (revised 2007), details of changes in equity during the period arising from transactions with equity shareholders in their capacity as such have been presented separately from all other income and expenses in a revised consolidated statement of changes in equity. All other items of income and expense are presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The new format for the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the consolidated statement of changes in equity has been adopted in this interim financial report and corresponding amounts have been restated to conform to the new presentation. This change in presentation has no effect on reported profit or loss, total income and expense or net assets for any of the periods presented.

  • The amendments to HKAS 27 have removed the requirement that dividends out of pre-acquisition profits should be recognized as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment in the investee, rather than as income. As a result, as from 1 January 2009 all dividends receivable from subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities, whether out of pre- or post-acquisition profits, will be recognized in the company’s profit or loss and the carrying amount of the investment in the investee will not be reduced unless that carrying amount is assessed to be impaired as a result of the investee declaring the dividend. In such cases, in addition to recognizing the dividend income in the profit or loss, the Company would recognize an impairment loss. In accordance with the transitional provisions in the amendment, this new policy will be applied prospectively to any dividends receivable in the current or future periods and previous periods have not been restated.

3. TURNOVER

The principal activities of the Group are the manufacture and sale of pharmaceutical products in the PRC. Turnover represents the sales value of goods sold less returns, discounts, value added tax and sales tax.

Turnover may be analyzed as follows:

Sale of pharmaceutical products
– Pills and tablets
– Medicine wine
– Injections
– Paste, granules and others

17. EQUITY SETTLED SHARE-BASED TRANSACTIONS

The Company has a share option scheme which was adopted on 22 May 2002 whereby the directors of the Company are authorized, at their discretion, to invite employees of the Group, including directors of any company in the Group, to take up options to subscribe for shares of the Company. The exercise price of options is the highest of the nominal value of the shares, the closing price of the shares on the Stock Exchange at the date of grant and the average closing price of the shares on the Stock Exchange for the five business days immediately preceding the date of grant. The options vest immediately or after six months from the date of grant and are then exercisable within a period of five years. Each option gives the holder the right to subscribe for one ordinary share in the Company.

A total of 8,000,000 share options were granted on 30 July 2002. No benefit cost or obligation was recognized at the date of grant or exercise for these share options as the Group took advantage of the transitional provisions set out in HKFRS 2 “Share-based payment”, under which the recognition and measurement policies have not been applied to all options granted to employees on or before 7 November 2002. On 30 January 2008, these 8,000,000 share options in total were lapsed without exercise.

On 2 January 2008, each of the three independent non-executive directors of the Company (who resigned in January and February 2009) was granted 828,000 share options under the Company’s share option scheme to subscribe for 828,000 ordinary shares. Pursuant to the amendments made to the share option scheme adopted on 22 May 2002, these share options vest immediately on 2 January 2008 and have an exercise period of five years. The exercise price is $0.434 per share, being the average closing price of the shares on the Stock Exchange for the five business days immediately preceding the date of grant. The fair value of the share options granted on 2 January 2008 of $490,000 was recognized as share-based compensation expenses in profit or loss during the six months ended 30 June 2008. On 19 March 2008, these 2,484,000 share options in total were lapsed following a mandatory unconditional cash offer for the shares of the Company.

No share options were outstanding as at 30 June 2009.

APPENDIX I

  • (d) Pursuant to the sale and purchase agreement dated 29 November 2008 between the Group and the vendor, the consideration for acquisition of Smartpoint is subject to downward adjustment, whereby the vendor shall return the Company a cash amount (the “Return Amount”) if the audited consolidated net profit after tax generated by Smartpoint and its subsidiaries (“Smartpoint Group”) for the twelve months ended 30 June 2009 is less than RMB45,000,000 (approximately $51,102,000) (the “Benchmark Figure”). The Return Amount is equivalent to six times of the shortfall in the audited consolidated net profit after tax generated by Smartpoint Group for the twelve months ended 30 June 2009 as against the Benchmark Figure.

The above consideration does not include the downward adjustment as the directors estimated that the audited consolidated net profit after tax generated by Smartpoint Group for the twelve months ended 30 June 2009 will exceed the Benchmark Figure.

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

B NOTES TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Statement of compliance

The Financial Information set out in this report has been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, which collective term includes Hong Kong Accounting Standards and related interpretations, promulgated by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”). Further details of the significant accounting policies adopted are set out in the remainder of this Section B.

The HKICPA has issued a number of new and revised HKFRSs. For the purpose of preparing this Financial Information, the Company has adopted all these new and revised HKFRSs to the Relevant Period, except for any new standards or interpretations that are not yet effective for the accounting period ended 31 December 2009.

The Financial Information also complies with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”).

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the Financial Information.

(b) Basis of preparation and presentation

The measurement basis used in the preparation of the Financial Information is the historical cost basis.

The preparation of Financial Information 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 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.

(c) Associate

An associate is an entity in which the Company has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over its management, including participation in the financial and operating policy decisions.

An investment in an associate is accounted for in the Financial Information under the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recorded at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post acquisition change in the Company’s share of the investee’s net assets and any impairment loss relating to the investment.

(d) 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.

– 128 –

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

(e) Income tax

Income tax for the years 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 directly in equity, in which case they are recognised in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

(f) Translation of foreign currencies

For the purpose of presenting the Financial Information, the Company adopted Hong Kong dollars (“HKD”) as its presentation currency. The functional currencies of the Company is Renminbi (“RMB”).

Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated into the functional currency of the Company at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the Company at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains and loss are recognised in profit or loss.

The results of operations are translated into the presentation currency at the exchange rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Balance sheet items are translated into the presentation currency at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. The resulting exchange differences are recognised directly in other comprehensive income and accumulated separately in equity in the exchange reserve.

(g) Related parties

For the purposes of the Financial Information, a party is considered to be related to the Company if:

  • (i) the party has the ability, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, to control the Company or exercise significant influence over the Company in making financial and operating policy decisions, or has joint control over the Company;

  • (ii) the Company and the party are subject to common control;

  • (iii) the party is an associate of the Company or a joint venture in which the Company is a venturer;

  • (iv) the party is a member of key management personnel of the Company or the Company’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 Company or of any entity that is a related party of the Company.

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.

APPENDIX III

B NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Statement of compliance

The Financial Information set out in this report has been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, which collective term includes Hong Kong Accounting Standards, HKFRSs and related interpretations, promulgated by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”). Further details of the significant accounting policies adopted are set out in the remainder of this Section B.

The HKICPA has issued a number of new and revised HKFRSs. For the purpose of preparing this Financial Information, the Company has adopted all these new and revised HKFRSs to the Relevant Period, except for any new standards or interpretations that are not yet effective for the accounting period ended 31 December 2009.

The Financial Information also complies with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”).

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the Financial Information.

(b) Basis of preparation and presentation

The consolidated Financial Information comprises the Company and its subsidiary.

The measurement basis used in the preparation of the Financial Information is the historical cost basis.

The preparation of Financial Information 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 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 Information and major sources of estimation uncertainty are discussed in note 21.

(c) Subsidiary

A subsidiary is an entity 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.

(d) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see note 1(f)).

– 142 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF DZH

APPENDIX III

Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed 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 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.
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.

(e) 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.

(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.

– 143 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF DZH

APPENDIX III

(f) Impairment of assets

(i) Impairment of trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are reviewed at each balance sheet date 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 reorganization; and

  • significant changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that have an adverse effect on the debtor.

If any such evidence exists, 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.

Impairment losses in respect of trade and other receivables, whose recovery is considered doubtful but not remote, are recorded using an allowance account. When the Group is satisfied that recovery is remote, the amount considered irrecoverable is written off against trade and other receivables 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 each balance sheet date to identify indications that the following assets may be impaired or an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased:

  • property, plant and equipment; and

  • pre-paid interests in leasehold land classified as being held under an operating lease.

If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

  • 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 time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where an asset does not generate cash

– 144 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF DZH

APPENDIX III

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.

  • Reversals of impairment losses

An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. A reversal of impairment losses 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.

(g) 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.

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.

(h) 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(f)), unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such case, they are stated at cost less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts (see note 1(f)).

(i) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently stated at amortised cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

(j) 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.

(k) Employees benefits

Short term employee benefits and contributions to defined contribution retirement plans

– 145 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF DZH

APPENDIX III

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.

(l) Income tax

Income tax 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 rate enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

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.

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 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 at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date 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.

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.

– 146 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF DZH

APPENDIX III

(m) 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.

(n) 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) Interest income

Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method.

(iv) Government grants

Government grants are recognised in the balance sheet initially as deferred income 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 period in which the expenses are incurred. Grants that compensate the Group for the cost of an asset are deducted from the carrying amount 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.

(o) Research and development cost

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, the Group has sufficient resources and the intention to complete development, and the Group has the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

– 147 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF DZH

APPENDIX III

(p) Translation of foreign currencies

For the purpose of presenting the consolidated Financial Information, the Group adopted Hong Kong dollars (“HKD”) as its presentation currency. The functional currencies of the Company is Renminbi (“RMB”).

Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated into the functional currency of the Group at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the Group at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss.

The results of operations are translated into the presentation currency at the exchange rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Balance sheet items are translated into the presentation currency at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. The resulting exchange differences are recognised directly in other comprehensive income and accumulated separately in equity in the exchange reserve.

(q) Related parties

For the purposes of these Financial Information, 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.

(r) Segment reporting

Operating segments, and the amounts of each segment item reported in the Financial Information, 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.

The Group primarily operates in one business segment – manufacture and sale of pharmaceutical products. It operates principally in one geographical segment – the PRC. Substantially all of the Group’s assets are located in and turnover derived from the PRC. Accordingly, no analysis of the segment information is presented.

Pursuant to the income tax rules and regulations of the PRC, the applicable PRC corporate income tax of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2007 was 27%.

On 16 March 2007, the Fifth Plenary Session of the Tenth National People’s Congress passed the Corporate Income Tax Law of the PRC (“new tax law”) which took effect on 1 January 2008. As a result of the new tax law, the income tax rate applicable to the Company changed from 27% to 25% with effect from 1 January 2008. The impact of the change in tax rate to 25% on deferred tax assets has been reflected in the consolidated Financial Information of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2007.

Pursuant to documents issued jointly by Guangdong Science and Technology Department, Guangdong Provincial Finance Bureau, Guangdong Provincial Office of the State Administration of Taxation and Guangdong Provincial Local Taxation Bureau, the Company was recognised as an advanced and new technology enterprise to enjoy a preferential corporate income tax rate of 15% for a three-year period with effect from 1 January 2008. The impact of the change in tax rate to 15% on deferred tax assets has been reflected in the consolidated Financial Information of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2008.

Trade and bills receivables are due within 30 to 90 days from the date of billing. All of the trade are expected to be recovered within one year. Further details on the Group’s credit policy are set out in note 20(a).

(b) Impairment of trade and bills receivables

Impairment losses in respect of trade 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 and bills receivables directly (see note 1(f)(i)).

The movements in the allowance for doubtful debts during the year, including both specific and collective loss components, are as follows:

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 $853,000, $897,000 and $779,000 were recognised as at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 respectively. The Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.

As at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009, receivables that were neither past due nor impaired individually, amounted to $51,823,000, $44,793,000 and $15,695,000 respectively.

Receivables that were not impaired relate to a number of independent customers that have a good track record with the Group and no recent history of default. 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.

A writ of summons was served by the Company on Guangdong Guanghong Medicines Company Limited (“Guangdong Guanghong”) in 2005 in respect of a claim for the payment of sales amount of goods sold to Guangdong Guanghong by the Company of approximately RMB1,345,000 (equivalent to $1,529,000) together with related interest.

On 15 November 2006, a judgement (“the Judgement”) was issued by Foshan Chancheng District People’s Court of Guangdong Province (“the People’s Court”) against Guangdong Guanghong for a sum of RMB1,345,000 together with interest. In response, Guangdong Guanghong filed an appeal against the Judgement. On 15 March 2007, Foshan Intermediate People’s Court of Guangdong Province (“the Intermediate People’s Court”) issued a judgement whereby the validity of the Judgement against Guangdong Guanghong was revoked and the case was re-heard by the People’s Court on 20 November 2007. On 4 March 2008, a judgement was issued by the People’s Court in favour of the Company in respect of the above claim. On 25 March 2008, Guangdong Guanghong made an appeal to the Intermediate People’s Court. On 2 December 2008, a final judgement was issued by the Intermediate People’s Court in favour of the Company.

As at 31 December 2008, the directors were of the opinion that the Company was successful in the above claim and no allowance for doubtful debts should be made on the outstanding debt of $1,529,000 which has been overdue for more than one year. The amount was received subsequently in 2009.

APPENDIX III

(c) Reserve fund

In accordance with the accounting principles and financial regulations applicable in the PRC, the Company is required to transfer part of its profit after taxation to the reserve fund. The transfer amounts are determined by the Company’s board of directors in accordance with the articles of association and the transfers are made before profit distribution to the equity holders of the Company.

(d) Capital management

The Company is a subsidiary of Winteam Pharmaceutical Group Limited (“Winteam”) which is listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong. Other than following Winteam Group’s capital management strategy to support the whole Group’s capital base, the Company’s and its subsidiary’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 shareholder returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position, and makes adjustments to the capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions.

Consistent with industry practice, the Group monitors its capital structure on the basis of an adjusted debt-to-equity ratio. For this purpose the Group defines debt as total debt (which includes trade and other payables and bank loans) plus unaccrued proposed dividends. Equity comprises all components of equity less unaccrued proposed dividends.

During 2009, the Group’s strategy, which remains unchanged from 2008 and 2007, is to maintain the capital in order to cover any debt position.

The adjusted debt-to-equity ratio at 31 December 2009, 2008 and 2007 is as follows:

Add: Proposed dividends

20 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Exposure to credit, liquidity, interest rate and foreign 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.

These risks are limited by the Group’s financial management policies and practices described below.

(a) Credit risk

The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to trade 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 2007, 2008 and 2009, 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 balance sheet 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 14.

(b) Liquidity risk

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 parent 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.

The following table details the remaining contractual maturities at the balance sheet date of the Group’s financial liabilities, which are based on contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest payments computed using contractual rates or, if floating, based on rates current at the balance sheet date) and the earliest date the Group can be required to pay:

(c) Foreign currency risk

The Group 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.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF DZH

APPENDIX III

(d) Business risk

The Group is dependent on specific herb materials for its production of certain pharmaceutical products. At 31 December 2009, the Group has a certain concentration of business risk as 26% (2008: 36%; 2007: 20%) of the total purchases were made from the Group’s five largest suppliers. If the Group could not purchase adequate quantity of specific herb materials from these suppliers and failed to identify alternative sources, its results and financial position could be adversely affected.

21 ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The Group’s financial condition and results of operations are sensitive to accounting methods, assumptions and estimates that underlie the preparation of the Financial Information. 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 Information. 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 Information.

(a) Impairment

If circumstances indicate that the net book value of property, plant and equipment, 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 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 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.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF DZH

APPENDIX III

(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.

22 POSSIBLE IMPACT OF AMENDMENTS, NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2009

Up to the date of issue of these Financial Information, the HKICPA has issued certain amendments, new standards and interpretations which are not yet effective for the year ended 31 December 2009 and which have not been adopted in these Financial Information.

The Group is in the process of making an assessment of what the impact of these amendments, new standards and new interpretations 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.

2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ON DZH

For the year ended 31 December 2007

Financial review

DZH primarily operates in one business segment, which is manufacturing and sale of pharmaceutical products, and in one geographical segment, the PRC. The turnover and profit were all derived from the aforesaid business in the PRC.

During 2007, DZH’s turnover and profit before taxation amounted to approximately HK$205.3 million and HK$36.0 million respectively. The sales of the key products, “Biyankang tablets” ( ) and “VC Yinqiao tablets” ( ), amounted to approximately HK$108.8 million and HK$25.9 million respectively, together representing approximately 65.6% of DZH’s turnover.

DZH’s gross profit margin was approximately 44.4% in 2007 while its profit for the year amounted to approximately HK$24.6 million in 2007.

Business review

During 2007, the PRC government reformulated the pricing policy of the pharmaceutical products by lowering the maximum retail price of certain pharmaceutical products. In light of this, DZH’s managements negotiated with relevant provincial governments and managed to maintain or raise the maximum retail price of several key products, such as “Biyankang tablets” ( ) and “VC Yinqiao tablets” ( ). The Directors formulated DZH’s business strategy by broadening the customer base to boost sales, in the meantime cutting cost through bringing down the administrative expenses and upgrading the technological level on the production of key products in order to maintain steady growth in profit.

During 2007, DZH was granted the prescription patent ( ) and production patent ( ) for “Biyankang tablets” ( ) and “Yaoshen Herbal Plaster” ( ) respectively by the National Patent Office ( ). With such patents of invention, DZH possessed the exclusive production rights of these two products for 17 years henceforward, thus strengthening the competitiveness of these key products. DZH also submitted applications for the grant of the prescription patent and production patent for other key products such as “Biyan drops (spray)” ( ), “Yaotongkang granule” ( ), “Wujibaifeng granule” ( ) and “Rujiekang pill” ( ).

Liquidity and financial information

DZH generally financed its operation by internally generated cashflow. As at 31 December 2007, DZH’s net current assets were approximately HK$84.3 million, with cash and bank balances of approximately HK$43.2 million.

– 163 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF DZH

APPENDIX III

As at 31 December 2007, the current ratio of DZH was approximately 2.3 times based on current assets of approximately HK$146.8 million and current liabilities of approximately HK$62.6 million.

As at 31 December 2007, DZH’s gearing ratio was approximately 29% (calculated as total liabilities over total assets). DZH did not have any short term or long term bank loan.

Treasury policies and foreign exchange exposure

Since all of DZH’s assets and liabilities, revenue and expenditures are denominated in Renminbi, the use of financial instruments for hedging purposes is not considered necessary and the exposure to exchange rate fluctuations is minimal.

Contingent liability

As at 31 December 2007, DZH had no contingent liability.

Charge on assets

As at 31 December 2007, no assets of DZH were charged.

Employees

As at 31 December 2007, DZH had 510 employees. Staff costs for the year ended 31 December 2007 were approximately HK$28.7 million, which mainly included salaries, wages and other benefits and contributions to defined contribution retirement plans.

Material acquisition and disposal of subsidiaries and associated companies

For the year ended 31 December 2007, there was no material acquisition or disposal of any subsidiary and associated company by DZH.

Prospects and future plan for material investments

In the future, factors such as adjustments in the national policy regarding the retail prices of pharmaceutical products, inflation in cost of raw materials, rise in operating expenses and the keen competition in the PRC pharmaceutical market will pose certain impact on the steady development of DZH. However, a coin even has two sides. The medical reform proposal (including (Opinions Concerning Further Reform of the Medical and Health System) and (Implementation Plan on Further Reform of the Medical and Health System for 2009-2011)) as approved by the State Council of the PRC in March 2009 and the gradual implementation of medical insurance system of workers and citizens will rapidly expand the scale of PRC pharmaceutical sales and boost the development. Furthermore, as a result of the expanding population, aging

population, increasing health-consciousness and industrial modernization in the PRC and the influence of globalized disease will also push and prompt the growth of the pharmaceutical industry in the PRC.

DZH did not have any plan for new business, material investments or acquisitions of capital assets.

For the year ended 31 December 2008

Financial review

In 2008, DZH’s turnover and profit before taxation amounted to approximately HK$251.4 million and HK$53.9 million respectively, representing an increase of approximately 22.4% and 50.0% respectively from 2007. The increase in DZH’s turnover was due to the boost in sales of its key products, “Biyankang tablets” ( ) and “VC Yinqiao tablets” ( ), sales from these two products amounted to approximately HK$130.5 million and HK$28.9 million respectively, representing an increase of approximately 20.0% and 11.6% respectively from 2007. The increase in profit before taxation was mainly due to the increases in turnover and gross profit margin during the year.

DZH’s gross profit margin increased to approximately 46.5% in 2008 from approximately 44.4% in 2007. DZH’s profit for the year increased by approximately 85% from approximately HK$24.6 million in 2007 to approximately HK$45.6 million for 2008. The increase in DZH’s profit for the year is mainly due to the increase in turnover and the lower income tax rate during the year.

Business review

The significant increase in DZH’s turnover was mainly attributable to the stable quality and the attractive pricing of DZH’s key pharmaceutical products “Biyankang tablets” ( ), “VC Yinqiao tablets” ( ) and “Biyan drops (spray)” ( ), etc. and the efficient marketing as well as the expansion of DZH’s sales network.

During 2008, “Biyan drops (spray)” ( ) was granted the prescription patent ( ) and production patent ( ) by the National Patent Office ( ). The process of applications for patent of invention of “Weiyanxiao granule” ( ), “Yaotongkang granule” ( ) and “Rujiekang pill” ( ) had reached the substantive verification stage.

DZH also submitted application for the grant of prescription patent and production patent for two other products, namely “Shentian capsule” ( ) and “Gandakang tablet” ( ).

APPENDIX III

Prospects and future plan for material investments

The Board is confident that the pharmaceutical industry will grow steadily with the approval of the medical reform proposal (including (Opinions Concerning Further Reform of the Medical and Health System) and (Implementation Plan on Further Reform of the Medical and Health System for 2009-2011)) by the State Council of the PRC in 2009 and years ahead as the government has a plan to invest RMB850 billion in the new reform of the pharmaceutical system in the PRC. This investment, which will mostly be used as the government’s subsidies for the new rural cooperative pharmaceutical service and urban residents’ insurance, is expected to greatly increase the market volume of the pharmaceutical industry in the PRC. The industry will be entering into its rapid development stage in the domestic market in the next 3 years.

DZH did not have any plan for new business, material investments or acquisitions of capital assets.

For the year ended 31 December 2009

Financial review

In 2009, DZH’s turnover and profit before taxation for the year amounted to approximately HK$223.5 million and HK$48.0 million respectively, both representing a decrease of about 11% from 2008. The decrease in DZH’s turnover and profit before taxation were mainly due to the global economic challenge since September 2008, resulting in the drop in sales of the Company’s key product, “Biyankang tablets” ( ). Sales from this product amounted to approximately HK$108.4 million, representing a decrease of approximately 17% against 2008. On the other hand, sales from another key product, “VC Yinqiao tablet” ( ), recorded an increase of approximately 22% over 2008 to approximately HK$35.2 million. The sales of these two key products accounted for approximately 64% of the total turnover of DZH.

DZH’s gross profit margin increased from approximately 46.5% in 2008 to approximately 52.2% in 2009, which is mainly attributable to the increase in the selling prices of several relatively high gross profit margin products and the decrease in cost of sales compared to that of the previous financial year. DZH’s profit for the year decreased by approximately 11.1% from approximately HK$45.5 million to approximately HK$40.5 million for the year of 2009. The decrease in DZH’s profit for the year is mainly due to the increase in selling and distribution costs during the year.

Business review

During 2009, DZH adopted stringent cost control policy by negotiating prices of goods supplied with suppliers and carried out tender invitation, so as to lower material cost and enhance the gross profit margin.

– 167 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF DZH

APPENDIX III

On August 2009, the State Council of the PRC released the National Essential Drugs List which included a total of 17 types of DZH’s products including the exclusive product – “Biyankang tablet” ( ).

In terms of intellectual property rights, “Weiyanxiao granule” ( ) and “Wujibaifeng granule” ( ) were granted respectively the patents of invention by the National Patent Office ( ) during 2009.

Liquidity and financial information

DZH generally financed its operation by internally generated cashflow. During 2009, cash generated from operations amounted to approximately HK$108.7 million, representing an increase of approximately 71.8% over that of HK$63.3 million in 2008. As at 31 December 2009, DZH’s net current assets were approximately HK$123.4 million, with cash and bank balances of approximately HK$108.7 million, as compared to approximately HK$127.0 million of net current assets and HK$71.3 million of cash and bank balances as at 31 December 2008.

APPENDIX III

Material acquisition and disposal of subsidiaries and associated companies

For the year ended 31 December 2009, there was no material acquisition or disposal of any subsidiary and associated company by DZH.

Prospects and future plan for material investments

As announced by the PRC government in 2009, the State Council of the PRC approved a medical reform proposal (including (Opinions Concerning Further Reform of the Medical and Health System) and (Implementation Proposal on Further Reform of the Medical and Health System for 2009-2011)) for public medical and health care system. It is expected that the reform proposal would involve investments by the PRC government of RMB850 billion (equivalent to approximately HK$964.8 billion) at various levels of the public medical and health care system in the next three years. The Board is confident that the pharmaceutical industry will grow steadily with the PRC government’s favorable policies in the years ahead. It is expected that the pharmaceutical industry will continue to grow in the near future.

In order to increase the production capacity and meet the increasing sales demand of DZH and FLX, DZH and FLX planned to set up a modernized traditional Chinese medicinal material extraction and preliminary treatment center ( ) (the “Center”) in (Geng He Town, Gao Ming District, Foshan City). Upon, among other things, the building facilities and the operations having met the GMP standard requirements of the PRC, the Center will be able to provide the preliminary extracted and processed medicinal materials to the subsidiaries of the Company and other customers.

For the purpose of set up the Center, a land use right with an area of 71,248.8 sq.m has been acquired by DZH and FLX in January 2010 at a consideration of RMB17,500,000. The investment in establishing the Center will be financed by the internal resources of DZH and FLX.

Except for the investment mentioned above, DZH did not have any plan for new business, material investments or acquisitions of capital assets.

APPENDIX IV UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

For illustrative purpose only, set out below is the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group assuming completion of the Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma financial information is prepared in accordance with Paragraph 4.29(1) and Paragraph 14.69(4)(a)(ii) of the Listing Rules to illustrate the effect of the Acquisition on the Group’s financial information.

(A) UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Introduction to the unaudited pro forma financial information

The accompanying unaudited pro forma financial information of the Group together with the Target Company includes the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet prepared based on the consolidated balance sheet of the Group as at 30 June 2009 and the balance sheet of the Target Company as at 31 December 2009, and gives effect to the proposed Acquisition as if the Acquisition had been completed on 30 June 2009 (the “unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information”).

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet of the Enlarged Group is prepared based upon the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Group as at 30 June 2009 as set out in Appendix I to this circular and the audited balance sheet of the Target Company as at 31 December 2009 as set out in Appendix II after incorporating the unaudited pro forma adjustments described in the accompanying notes. A narrative description of the unaudited pro forma adjustments of the Acquisition that are (i) directly attributable to the transactions concerned and not relating to future events or decisions; (ii) expected to have a continuing impact on the Enlarged Group; and (iii) factually supportable, are summarised in the accompanying notes.

The unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group is based on a number of assumptions, estimates, uncertainties and currently available information. As a result of these assumptions, estimates and uncertainties, the accompanying unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group does not purport to describe the actual financial position of the Enlarged Group that would have been attained had the Acquisition been completed on 30 June 2009. Further, the accompanying unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group does not purport to predict the Enlarged Group’s future financial position.

The unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group should be read in conjunction with the financial information of the Group as set out in Appendix I to this circular, the financial information of the Target Company as set out in Appendix II to this circular and other financial information included elsewhere in this circular.

APPENDIX IV UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

2 Notes to the unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group

  • (a) The balances of assets and liabilities of the Group are extracted from the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Group as at 30 June 2009 as included in the published interim report of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2009.

  • (b) The balances of assets and liabilities of the Target Group are extracted from the audited combined balance sheet of the Target Company as at 31 December 2009 as set out in Appendix II of this circular.

  • (c) Acquisition

Pursuant to the Agreement entered into between Guangdong Medi-world Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“GMWP”), a subsidiary of the Company, and Mr. He Zhao Jian, the owner of the Target Company, GMWP has conditionally agreed to acquire 93% equity interest in the Target Company at the consideration of RMB116,000,000 (approximately equivalent of HK$131,750,000). The pro forma adjustment reflects this transaction as if the Acquisition had been completed on 30 June 2009 and the consideration was settled by the Group’s cash at bank and in hand.

(d) Principal asset of the Target Company and elimination

The principal asset of the Target Company is the 49% equity interest in DZH which is a 51%-owned subsidiary of the Company. DZH’s assets and liabilities have already been consolidated in the Group’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2009. As the Company had control over DZH before the Acquisition, the acquisition of additional interest in DZH does not result in change in carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the Group’s consolidated balance sheet. Except for the cash of HK$25,000 in the Target Company, the “Interest in an associate” of HK$90,163,000, the “Paid-in capital” of HK$21,845,000 and the reserves of HK$68,343,000 in the Target Company’s balance sheet will be eliminated, and the net debit to reserves would be HK$68,318,000.

(e) Change in Minority Interest

The carrying amount of minority interests in the Group’s consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2009 related to DZH amounted to HK$109,056,000 which is adjusted to reflect the relative change in interest in DZH’s net assets. The decrease in amount of minority interests of HK$101,422,000 (As 49% of the minority interests of DZH of HK$109,056,000 held by the Target Company was included in the Group’s financial statements as at 30 June 2009, the decrease in minority interests of HK$101,422,000 represents 93% of the aforesaid minority interests of DZH attributable to the 93% equity interest in the Target Company) and the consideration paid for the acquisition of HK$131,750,000, ie HK$30,328,000 is recognised directly in the Group’s equity, ie debited to reserves.

(f) Net movement in reserves

The cumulative effect of the Acquisition would be the elimination entries of HK$68,318,000 as discussed in (d) above and the net impact of the change in minority interest of HK$30,328,000 as discussed in (e) above, which would reduce reserve by HK$98,646,000.

  • (g) Translation of RMB into HK$ is made in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group at the rate of HK$1.1357 = RMB1.

Basis of opinion

We conducted our work in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Investment Circular Reporting Engagements (“HKSIR”) 300 “Accountants’ Reports on Pro Forma Financial Information in Investment Circulars” issued by the HKICPA. Our work consisted primarily of comparing the unadjusted financial information with source documents, considering the evidence supporting the adjustments and discussing the unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information with the directors of the Company. The engagement did not involve independent examination of any of the underlying financial information.

We planned and performed our work so as to obtain the information and explanations we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been properly compiled by the directors of the Company on the basis stated, that such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Group and that the adjustments are appropriate for the purposes of the unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information as disclosed pursuant to paragraph 4.29(1) of the Listing Rules.

The unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information is for illustrative purposes only, based on the judgements and assumptions of the directors of the Company, and because of its hypothetical nature, it does not provide any assurance or indication that any event will take place in the future and may not be indicative of the financial position of the Enlarged Group as at 30 June 2009 or any future date.

Opinion

In our opinion:

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

  • b) such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Company, and

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

Yours faithfully

8th Floor Prince’s Building 10 Chater Road Central Hong Kong

31 December 2008

The Directors Wing Shan International Limited

Dear Sirs,

Introduction

We set out below our report on the financial information relating to Smartpoint International Limited (the “Target Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Target Group”) including the combined income statements, combined statements of changes in equity and combined cash flow statements of the Target Group for each of the years ended 31 December 2005, 2006, 2007 and the six months ended 30 June 2008 (the “Relevant Period”) and the combined balance sheets of the Target Group as at 31 December 2005, 2006, 2007 and 30 June 2008, together with the notes thereto (the “Financial Information”) for inclusion in the circular of Wing Shan International Limited (the “Company”) dated 31 December 2008 (the “Circular”) in connection with the proposed acquisition of the Target Company by the Company (the “Acquisition”) as described more fully in the section headed “Letter from the Board” contained in the Circular.

The Target Company was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on 10 November 2008 as a company with limited liability under the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 of the British Virgin Islands. In accordance with the group reorganisation (the “Reorganisation”) as detailed in the section headed “Reorganisation” in the “Letter from the Board” of the Circular, the Target Company will become the holding company of the companies now comprising the Target Group, details of which are set out in Section A below. The Target Company has not carried on any business since the date of its incorporation save for the aforementioned Reorganisation. The Reorganisation has not yet been completed as at the date of this report.

As at the date of this report, no audited financial statements have been prepared for the companies comprising the Target Group, except for Guangdong Medi-World Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd (“Guangdong Medi-World”) (note below) and Shandong Lukang Pharmaceutical

Group Luya Co., Ltd. (“Luya”) (note below), as they were either incorporated shortly before 30 June 2008 or have not carried on any business since their respective dates of incorporation or are investment holding companies and are not subject to statutory audit requirements under the relevant rules and regulations in their jurisdictions of incorporation. We have, however, reviewed all significant transactions of these companies from their respective dates of incorporation to 30 June 2008 for the purpose of this report.

The statutory financial statements of Guangdong Medi-World and Luya, which were prepared in accordance with the relevant accounting rules and regulations applicable to enterprises established in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), were audited during the Relevant Period by the respective statutory auditors as indicated below:

2005, 2006 and 2007 Certified Public

(Registered in the PRC)

Note: The English translation of the names is for reference only. The official names of these entities are in Chinese.

Basis of preparation

The Financial Information has been prepared by the directors of the Target Company (the “Directors”) based on the audited financial statements or, where appropriate, unaudited management accounts of the companies now comprising the Target Group, on the basis set out in Section A below, after making such adjustments as are appropriate. Adjustments have been made, for the purpose of this report, to restate these financial statements to conform with accounting policies as referred to in Section C below, which are in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) promulgated by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”), the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“Listing Rules”). HKFRSs include Hong Kong Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

Respective responsibilities of directors and reporting accountants

The Directors are responsible for the preparation and the true and fair presentation of the Financial Information in accordance with HKFRSs. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and the

– 180 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE SMARTPOINT GROUP

APPENDIX V

true and fair presentation of the Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Financial Information based on our audit.

Basis of opinion

As a basis for forming an opinion on the Financial Information, for the purpose of this report, we have carried out appropriate audit procedures in respect of the Financial Information for the Relevant Period in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA and have carried out such additional procedures as we considered necessary in accordance with Auditing Guideline “Prospectuses and the Reporting Accountant” (Statement 3.340) issued by the HKICPA. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the Financial Information is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Financial Information. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Information, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and true and fair presentation of the Financial Information in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Financial Information.

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

We have not audited any accounts of the companies now comprising the Target Group in respect of any period subsequent to 30 June 2008.

Opinion

In our opinion, for the purpose of this report, all adjustments considered necessary have been made and the Financial Information, on the basis of presentation set out in Section A below and in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Section C below, gives a true and fair view of the Target Group’s combined results and cash flows for the Relevant Period, and of the state of affairs of the Target Group as at 31 December 2005, 2006, 2007 and 30 June 2008.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE SMARTPOINT GROUP

APPENDIX V

Corresponding financial information

For the purpose of this report, we have also reviewed the unaudited corresponding interim financial information of the Target Group comprising the combined income statement, the combined statement of changes in equity and the combined cash flow statement for the six months ended 30 June 2007, together with the notes thereon (the “Corresponding Financial Information”), for which the Directors are responsible, in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the HKICPA. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Corresponding Financial Information based on our review.

A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the Corresponding Financial Information.

Based on our review, for the purpose of this report, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Corresponding Financial Information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the same basis adopted in respect of the Financial Information.

A BASIS OF PRESENTATION

As the companies that took part in the Reorganisation were controlled by the same group of shareholders through the relevant investment holding companies (referred to as “the Controlling Shareholders”) before and after the Reorganisation and, consequently there was a continuation of the risks and benefits to the Controlling Shareholders, the Financial Information has been prepared using the merger basis of accounting as if the Target Group has always been in existence. The net assets of the combining companies are combined using the existing book values from the Controlling Shareholders’ perspective.

The combined income statements, combined statements of changes in equity and combined cash flow statements of the Target Group for the Relevant Period as set out in Sections B1, B3 and B4 respectively include the results of operations of the following companies now comprising the Target Group as if the current group structure had been in existence throughout the entire Relevant Period. The combined balance sheets of the Target Group as at 31 December 2005, 2006, 2007 and 30 June 2008 as set out in Section B2 have been prepared to present the state of affairs of the following companies now comprising the Target Group as at the respective dates as if the current group structure had been in existence as at the respective dates.

All material intra-group transactions and balances have been eliminated on combination.

APPENDIX V FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE SMARTPOINT GROUP

C NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(Expressed in Hong Kong dollars unless otherwise indicated)

1 Significant accounting policies

(a) Statement of compliance

The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with all applicable HKFRSs and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. The Financial Information also complies with the Listing Rules. A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the Target Group is set out below.

The Target Group has not presented combined accounts previously. This is the Target Group’s first HKFRS Financial Information and HKFRS 1 has been applied.

The HKICPA has issued certain new and revised HKFRSs that are not yet effective during the Relevant Period. The Target Group has not early adopted these HKFRSs in preparing the Financial Information for the Relevant Period (see note 30).

(b) Basis of preparation of the Financial Information

The Financial Information comprises the Target Company and its subsidiaries.

The measurement basis used in the preparation of the Financial Information is the historical cost basis.

The Financial Information presents the combined results, combined cash flows and combined financial position of the Target Group for each of the years ended 31 December 2005, 2006, 2007 and the six months ended 30 June 2008 on the basis that the Target Company, for the purpose of this report, is regarded as a continuing entity and that the Reorganisation had been completed as at the beginning of the Relevant Period and that the business of the Target Group had been conducted by the Target Company throughout the Relevant Period as they are related to entities under common control.

The preparation of the Financial Information 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 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 recognized 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 Information and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are discussed in note 28.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in this Financial Information.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE SMARTPOINT GROUP

APPENDIX V

(c) Subsidiaries and controlled entities

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Target Group. Control exists when the Target Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entities, so as to obtain benefits from their activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable are taken into account. Merger accounting is adopted for common control combinations in which all of the combining entities or businesses are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the business combination, and when control is not transitory.

Intra-group balances and transactions and any unrealized profits arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full in preparing the Financial Information. Unrealized losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

Minority interests represent the portion of the net assets of subsidiaries attributable to interests that are not owned by the Target Company, whether directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, and in respect of which the Target Group has not agreed any additional terms with the holders of those interests which would result in the Target Group as a whole having a contractual obligation in respect of those interests that meets the definition of a financial liability. Minority interests are presented in the combined balance sheets within equity, separately from equity attributable to the equity shareholders of the Target Company. Minority interests in the results of the Target Group are presented on the face of the combined income statements as an allocation of the total profit for the year/period between minority interests and the equity shareholders of the Target Company.

Where losses attributable to the minority exceed the minority’s interest in the equity of a subsidiary, the excess, and any further losses applicable to the minority, are charged against the Target Group’s interest except to the extent that the minority has a binding obligation to, and is able to, make additional investment to cover the losses. If the subsidiary subsequently reports profits, the Target Group’s interest is allocated all such profits until the minority’s share of losses previously absorbed by the Target Group has been recovered.

(d) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of a business combination or an investment in an associate or a jointly controlled entity over the Target Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities.

Goodwill is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses (see note 1(i)). Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units and is tested annually for impairment.

Any excess of the Target Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of a business combination is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

On disposal of a cash generating unit, any attributable amount of purchased goodwill is included in the calculation of the profit or loss on disposal.

(e) Investments in equity securities

The Target Group’s policies for investments in equity securities, other than investments in subsidiaries are 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 recognized in the combined balance sheets at cost less impairment losses (see note 1(i)). Dividend income from these investments is recognized in profit or loss in accordance with the policy set out in note 1(r)(iv).

– 191 –

APPENDIX V FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE SMARTPOINT GROUP

Investments are recognized/derecognized on the date the Target Group commits to purchase/sell the investments or they expire.

(f) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated in the combined balance sheets at cost or deemed cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see note 1(i)).

Certain items of property, plant and equipment that have been revalued to fair value on or prior to 1 January 2005, the date of transition to HKFRSs, are measured on the basis of deemed cost, being the revalued amount at the date of that revaluation.

Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed property, plant and equipment includes the cost of materials, direct labour 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 recognized in profit or loss on the date of retirement or disposal.

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost 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 held for own use which are situated on leasehold land are depreciated over the shorter of the unexpired term of lease and their estimated useful lives
Plant and machinery 5 – 15 years
Office equipment and motor vehicles 5 – 10 years

Both the useful life of an asset and its residual value, if any, are reviewed annually.

(g) Construction in progress

Construction in progress represents buildings, various plant and equipment under construction and pending installation, and is stated at cost less impairment losses (note 1(i)). Cost comprises direct costs 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.

(h) Intangible assets (other than goodwill)

Expenditure on research activities is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Expenditure on development activities is capitalized if the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Target Group has sufficient resources and the intention to complete development. The expenditure capitalized includes the costs of materials, direct labour, and an appropriate proportion of overheads and borrowing costs, where applicable. Capitalized development costs are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Other development expenditure is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Target Group are stated in the combined balance sheets at cost less accumulated amortization (where the estimated useful life is finite) and impairment losses (see note 1(i)). Expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

– 192 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE SMARTPOINT GROUP

APPENDIX V

Amortization 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 amortized from the date they are available for use and their estimated useful lives are as follows:

Computer software 5 years
Technical know-how 10 years
Trademarks 10 years

Both the period and method of amortization are reviewed annually.

  • (i) Impairment of assets

  • (i) Impairment of investments in equity securities and trade and other receivables

Investments in equity securities (other than investments in subsidiaries) and other current and non-current receivables that are stated at cost or amortized cost or are classified as available-for-sale securities are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. Objective evidence of impairment includes observable data that comes to the attention of the Target 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.

If any such evidence exists, any impairment loss is determined and recognized as follows:

  • For unquoted equity securities carried at cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial asset and the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset where the effect of discounting is material. Impairment losses for equity securities are not reversed.

  • For trade and other current receivables and other financial assets carried at amortized 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 amortized 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.

– 193 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE SMARTPOINT GROUP

APPENDIX V

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 recognized, 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 recognized in prior years.

Impairment losses are written off against the corresponding assets directly, except for impairment losses recognized in respect of trade receivables 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 Target Group is satisfied that recovery is remote, the amount considered irrecoverable is written off against trade receivables 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 recognized in profit or loss.

(ii) Impairment of other assets

Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at each balance sheet date to identify indications that the following assets may be impaired or, except in the case of goodwill, an impairment loss previously recognized no longer exists or may have decreased:

  • property, plant and equipment;

  • pre-paid interests in leasehold land classified as being held under an operating lease;

  • construction in progress,

  • intangible assets; and

  • goodwill.

If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. In addition, for goodwill 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 net selling price 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 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).

– 194 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE SMARTPOINT GROUP

APPENDIX V

  • Recognition of impairment losses

An impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss whenever the carrying amount of an asset, or the cash-generating unit to which it belongs, exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognized 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

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 impairment losses is limited to the asset’s carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized in prior periods. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the periods in which the reversals are recognized.

(j) Inventories and consumables

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.

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 recognized as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories are recognized as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories is recognized as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognized as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.

(k) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are initially recognized at fair value and thereafter stated at amortized cost less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts (see note 1(i)), 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(i)).

(l) Interest-bearing borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are recognized initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortized cost with any difference between amount initially recognized and redemption value being recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings, together with any interest and fees payable, using the effective interest method.

– 195 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE SMARTPOINT GROUP

APPENDIX V

(m) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently stated at amortized cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

(n) 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.

(o) Employee benefits

  • (i) Salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave and the cost to the Target Group of non-monetary benefits are accrued in the period in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Target Group. Where payment or settlement is deferred and the effect would be material, these amounts are stated at their present values.

  • (ii) Contributions to appropriate local retirement schemes pursuant to the relevant labour rules and regulations in the PRC are recognized as an expense in profit or loss as incurred, except to the extent that they are included in the cost of inventories not yet recognized as an expense.

(p) Income tax

  • (i) Income tax for the period comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to items recognized directly in equity, in which case they are recognized in equity.

  • (ii) Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous periods.

  • (iii) 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.

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 utilized, are recognized. 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 utilized.

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

– 196 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE SMARTPOINT GROUP

APPENDIX V

(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 Target 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 recognized is measured based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date 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 utilized. Any such reduction is reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.

  • (iv) 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 Target 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 Target 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.

(q) Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognized for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the Target Group 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.

– 197 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE SMARTPOINT GROUP

APPENDIX V

(r) Revenue recognition

Provided it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Target Group and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably, revenue is recognized in profit or loss as follows:

(i) Sale of goods

Revenue is recognized 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) Government grants

Government grants are recognized in the combined balance sheets initially as deferred income when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and that the Target Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them. Grants that compensate the Target Group for expenses incurred are recognized as other revenue in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the same period in which the expenses are incurred. Grants that compensate the Target Group for the cost of an asset are recognized in profit or loss as revenue on a systematic basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.

(iii) Interest income

Interest income is recognized as it accrues using the effective interest method.

(iv) Dividends

Dividend income is recognized when the shareholder’s rights to receive payment is established.

(s) Translation of foreign currencies

For the purpose of presenting the Financial Information, the Target Group adopted Hong Kong dollars (“HKD”) as its presentation currency. The functional currencies of the Target Company and the subsidiaries incorporated in Hong Kong are HKD and the functional currencies of the subsidiaries established in the PRC are Renminbi (“RMB”).

Foreign currency transactions during the period are translated into the functional currency of the entity at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the entity at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency of the entity 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 into the functional currency of the entity using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was determined.

The results of foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Target Group at the exchange rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of transactions. Balance sheet items are translated into the presentation currency of the Target Group at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. The resulting exchange differences are recognized directly in a separate component of equity.

– 198 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE SMARTPOINT GROUP

APPENDIX V

On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange difference recognized in equity which relates to that foreign operation is included in the calculation of profit or loss on disposal.

(t) Operating lease charges

Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the Target Group are classified as operating leases. Where the Target Group has the use of assets 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 recognized 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 amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease term.

(u) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

(v) Dividends

Dividends are recognized as a liability in the period in which they are declared or approved.

(w) Related parties

For the purposes of the Financial Information, a party is considered to be related to the Target Group if:

  • (i) the party has the ability, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, to control the Target Group or exercise significant influence over the Target Group in making financial and operating policy decisions, or has joint control over the Target Group;

  • (ii) the Target Group and the party are subject to common control;

  • (iii) the party is an associate of the Target Group or a joint venture in which the Target Group is a venturer;

  • (iv) the party is a member of key management personnel of the Target Group or the Target 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 Target Group or of any entity that is a related party of the Target 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

A segment is a distinguishable component of the Target Group that is engaged either in providing products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments.

The Target Group primarily operates in one business segment – manufacture and sale of pharmaceutical products. It operates principally in one geographical segment – the PRC. Substantially all of the Target Group’s assets are located in the PRC. Accordingly, no analysis of the segment information is presented.

2 Turnover

The principal activities of the Target Group are manufacture and sale of pharmaceutical products in the PRC. Turnover represents the sales value of goods sold less returns, discounts, value added tax and sales tax, which may be analysed as follows:

Pursuant to the income tax rules and regulations of the British Virgin Islands, the Target Group is not subject to any income tax in the British Virgin Islands.

Pursuant to the income tax rules and regulations of the PRC, Guangdong Medi-World was recognized as an Advanced Technology Enterprise and received an approval from the Foshan Tax Bureau for a three-year extension of the 50% income tax reduction for the period from 1 January 2004 to 31 December 2006 and was subject to a reduced enterprise income tax rate of 10% for the years ended 31 December 2004, 2005 and 2006. In 2007, Guangdong Medi-World was recognized as a High and New Technology Enterprise and the applicable tax rate for the year ended 31 December 2007 was 18%.

Pursuant to the income tax rules and regulations of the PRC, Luya was entitled to a 50% income tax reduction for the period from 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2007 and hence subject to PRC income tax at 15% for the years ended 31 December 2005, 2006 and 2007.

Pursuant to the new income tax law of the PRC effective from 1 January 2008, Guangdong Medi-World and Luya are both subject to the new applicable income tax rate of 25% for the six months ended 30 June 2008.

Note:

  • (i) Amounts due from a fellow subsidiary and related companies are unsecured, interest-free and have no fixed terms of repayment.

During the year ended 31 December 2007 and the six months ended 30 June 2008, management assessed that the recovery of the amounts due from a fellow subsidiary and a related company totalling $16,247,000 and $444,000 respectively was remote as the fellow subsidiary and the related company were in financial difficulties, thus impairment losses were recognized.

  • (ii) Loan to a related company is unsecured, interest-bearing at 7.47% per annum and repayable within one year.

Trade receivables are due within 90-120 days from the date of billing. All of the trade and other receivables are expected to be recovered within one year. Further details on the Target Group’s credit policy are set out in note 25(a).

(b) Impairment of trade receivables

Impairment losses in respect of trade receivables are recorded using an allowance account unless the Target Group is satisfied that recovery of the amount is remote, in which case the impairment loss is written off against trade receivables directly (see note 1(i)(i)).

The movements in the allowance for doubtful debts during the year/period, including both specific and collective loss components, are as follows:

A portion of these individually impaired receivables were overdue for more than one year and management assessed that the full amount of these receivables is expected to be irrecoverable. Consequently, specific allowances for doubtful debts of approximately $3,593,000, $4,341,000, $4,879,000 and $4,882,000 as at 31 December 2005, 2006, 2007 and 30 June 2008 respectively were recognized. The Target Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.

Receivables that were neither past due nor impaired relate to a number of independent customers that have a good track record with the Target Group or no recent history of default. 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 and the balances are still considered fully recoverable. The Target Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.

APPENDIX V FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE SMARTPOINT GROUP

(c) Deferred tax liabilities not recognized

At 30 June 2008, temporary differences relating to the undistributed profits of PRC subsidiaries amounted to $24,625,000. Deferred tax liabilities of $1,231,000 have not been recognized in respect of the tax that would be payable on the distribution of these retained profits as the Target Group controls the dividend policy of the subsidiaries and it has been determined that it is probable that profits will not be distributed in the foreseeable future.

21 Goodwill

Goodwill acquired through business combination is allocated to the pharmaceutical business cash-generating unit (“CGU”) for impairment testing.

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 Target Company determined the value-in-use by preparing cash flow projections 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% and sales volume of 8%. The rate used to discount the forecast cash flows is 12%.

Management believes that any reasonably possible change in any of these key assumptions would not cause the carrying amount of the CGU to exceed the recoverable amount.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE SMARTPOINT GROUP

APPENDIX V

(a) Share capital

The Target Company was incorporated on 10 November 2008 with authorized share capital of US$50,000 divided into 50,000 shares of US$1 par value. On the same date, the Target Company issued 100 shares at par value of US$1 each.

For the purpose of the Financial Information, the share capital in the combined balance sheets as at 31 December 2005, 2006, 2007 and 30 June 2008 represents the share capital of the Target Company as if the current group structure had been in existence since 1 January 2005.

The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per share at meetings of the Target Company. All ordinary shares rank equally with regard to the Target Company’s residual assets.

(b) Other reserve

On 2 April 2007, Guangdong Medi-World acquired 37.5% equity interest in Luya from Ace Supreme, a company under common control by the Controlling Shareholders, for a consideration of RMB8,000,000. The difference between the historical carrying value of the equity interest acquired and the acquisition consideration is recorded in “Other reserve” as if the current group structure had been in existence since 1 January 2005.

On 28 October 2005, a company under common control by the Controlling Shareholders acquired 5% equity interest in Guangdong Medi-World from its minority equity owners for a consideration of US$1. The difference between the carrying value of minority interests and acquisition consideration is treated as an equity movement and recorded in “Other reserve”.

(c) Exchange reserve

The exchange reserve comprises all foreign exchange differences arising from the translation of the accounts of PRC operations. The reserve is dealt with in accordance with the accounting policy set out in note 1(s).

(d) PRC statutory reserves

In accordance with the accounting principles and financial regulations applicable in the PRC, the PRC subsidiaries are required to transfer part of its profit after taxation to the reserve fund and the enterprise development fund. The transfer amounts are determined by the subsidiary’s board of directors in accordance with the articles of association and the transfers are made before distribution of a dividend to equity owners. Reserve fund can only be used to make good losses, if any, and for increasing capital. Enterprise development fund can only be used for increasing capital.

(e) Distributable reserve

The Target Company was incorporated on 10 November 2008. Accordingly, there was no reserve available for distribution to shareholders as at 30 June 2008.

On the basis set out in Section A above, the aggregate amounts of distributable reserve at 31 December 2005, 2006, 2007 and 30 June 2008 of the companies comprising the Target Group were approximately $82,161,000, $98,770,000, $76,989,000 and $99,025,000 respectively.

(f) Capital management

The Target Group’s primary objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Target 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.

– 218 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE SMARTPOINT GROUP

APPENDIX V

The Target Group actively and regularly reviews and manages its capital structure to maintain a balance between the higher shareholder returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position, and makes adjustments to the capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions.

Consistent with industry practice, the Target Group monitors its capital structure on the basis of an adjusted debt-to-equity ratio. For this purpose the Target Group defines adjusted net debt as total debt, which includes trade and other payables, bank loans and dividend payable less shareholder’s loan with no fixed repayment terms. Adjusted equity comprises all components of equity and shareholder’s loan with no fixed repayment terms.

The adjusted debt-to-equity ratio at 31 December 2005, 2006, 2007 and 30 June 2008 is as follows:

24 Employee retirement benefits

Defined contribution retirement plans

Pursuant to the relevant labour rules and regulations in the PRC, the PRC subsidiaries of the Target Group participate in defined contribution retirement schemes (the “Schemes”) organized by the PRC municipal government authorities whereby the subsidiaries are required to contribute to the Schemes to fund the retirement benefits of the eligible employees. Contributions made to the Schemes are calculated based on a specified percentage of the payroll of the eligible employees for the period from 1 January 2005 to 30 June 2008. The local government authorities are responsible for the entire pension obligations payable to the retired employees. The only obligation of the Target Group with respect to the Schemes is to make the specified contributions.

The Target Group has no other material obligation for payment of retirement benefits beyond the annual contributions as described above.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE SMARTPOINT GROUP

APPENDIX V

25 Financial instruments

Exposure to credit, liquidity, interest rate and foreign currency risks arises in the normal course of the Target Group’s business. These risks are limited by the Target Group’s financial management policies and practices described below.

(a) Credit risk

The Target Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to trade 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 90 to 120 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 Target Group does not obtain collateral from customers.

The Target 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 the balance sheet date, the Target Group has a certain concentration of credit risk as 21%, 15%, 16%, 22% and 44%, 28%, 41%, 44% of the total trade receivables were due from the Target Group’s largest customer and the five largest customers as at 31 December 2005, 2006, 2007 and 30 June 2008 respectively.

The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the combined balance sheets after deducting any impairment allowance. The Target Group does not provide any other guarantees which would expose the Target Group to credit risk.

(b) Liquidity risk

Individual operating entities within the Target 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. The Target 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.

The following table details the remaining contractual maturities at the balance sheet date of the Target Group’s financial liabilities, which are based on contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest payments computed using contractual rates or, if floating, based on rates current at the balance sheet date) and the earliest date the Target Group can be required to pay:

(c) Interest rate risk

The Target Group’s interest rate risk arises primarily from short-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates and at fixed rates expose the Target Group to cash flow interest rate risk and fair value interest rate risk respectively. The Target Group’s interest rate profile as monitored by management is set out in (i) below.

Interest rate profile

The following table details the interest rate profile of the Target Group’s total borrowings at the balance sheet date.

As at 31 December 2005 As at 31 December 2005 As at 31 December 2006 As at 31 December 2006

**Fixed ** **rate ** borrowings:
Bank loans 6.23 43,809 7.47 77,078

(d) Foreign currency risk

Individual companies within the Target 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, Guangdong Medi-World and Luya, mainly carried out transactions in RMB, therefore any appreciation and depreciation of HKD against RMB will affect the Target Group’s financial position and will be reflected in the exchange reserve.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE SMARTPOINT GROUP

APPENDIX V

(e) Fair values

The amounts due from/to directors, fellow subsidiaries and related companies and shareholder’s loan are unsecured, interest-free and have no fixed terms of repayment. Given these terms it is not meaningful to disclose their fair values.

Investments in unlisted equity securities do not have a quoted market price in an active market. In the opinion of the directors, their fair values cannot be reliably measured and disclosed in the Financial Information.

All remaining financial instruments are carried at amounts not materially different from their fair values as at 31 December 2005, 2006, 2007 and 30 June 2008.

(f) Estimation of fair values

The following summarises the major methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair values of financial instruments:

Interest-bearing loans and borrowings

Fair value is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at current market interest rates for similar financial instruments.

(g) Business risk

The Target Group has a certain concentration of business risk as 20%, 22%, 25%, 16% and 33%, 37%, 37%, 30% of total sales are from the Target Group’s largest and the five largest customers during the years ended 31 December 2005, 2006, 2007 and the six months ended 30 June 2008 respectively.

In addition, the Target Group is dependent on specific raw materials for its production of certain pharmaceutical products. The Target Group has a certain concentration of business risk as 29%, 20%, 26%, 29% and 60%, 59%, 67%, 64% of the total purchases are from the Target Group’s largest and the five largest suppliers during the years ended 31 December 2005, 2006, 2007 and the six months ended 30 June 2008 respectively. If the Target Group could not purchase adequate quantity of specific raw materials from these suppliers and failed to identify alternative sources, its results and financial position could be adversely affected.

28 Accounting estimates and judgements

The Target Group’s financial condition and results of operations are sensitive to accounting methods, assumptions and estimates that underlie the preparation of the accounts. The Target Group bases the assumptions and estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Target 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 Information. The significant accounting policies are set forth in note 1. The Target Group believes the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant judgements and estimates used in the preparation of the Financial Information.

(a) Impairment

If circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of fixed assets, construction in progress and intangible assets may not be recoverable, these assets may be considered impaired, and an impairment loss may be recognized in accordance with HKAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”. The carrying amounts of these assets are reviewed 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. For goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated annually to assess if the carrying amount may not be recoverable whether or not there is any indication of impairment. 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 Target 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 sale volume, selling price, material cost and amount of operating costs. The Target Group uses all readily available information in determining an amount that is a reasonable approximation of recoverable amount, including estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections of revenue and amount of operating costs.

In addition, the Target Group estimates impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts resulting from the inability of the debtors to make the required payments. The Target 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 amortization

Fixed assets and intangible assets are depreciated and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, after taking into account the estimated residual value, if any. The Target Group reviews the estimated useful lives of the assets regularly in order to determine the amount of depreciation and amortization expense to be recorded during any reporting period. The useful lives are based on the Target 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 amortization expense for future periods is adjusted if there are significant changes from previous estimates.

(c) Write down of inventories

The Target 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.

(ii) For the year ended 31 December 2006

Financial review

In 2006, the Target Group’s combined turnover and profit before taxation for the year amounted to approximately HK$127 million and HK$21 million respectively. Despite a decrease of approximately 9% in turnover, there was an increase of approximately 31% in profit before taxation as compared to 2005 due to the decrease in selling and distribution costs and administrative expenses.

The Target Group’s gross profit margin remained at around 60% in 2006. The decrease in turnover was due to the decrease in sales of Yupingfeng Granule and Cefodizime Sodium. The increase in profit before taxation was not only due to the increase in government grants, but also due to the decrease in selling and distribution costs and administrative expenses by 24% and 9% respectively in 2006.

The Target Group’s 2006 profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Target Company increased by 46% to HK$19 million for the year and the Target Group’s basic earnings per share was approximately HK$190,000, representing an increase of 46% compared to that of 2005.

Business review

During 2006, the PRC government re-formulated the pricing policy of the pharmaceutical products by lowering the selling price of certain pharmaceutical products. In light of this, the turnover of the Target Group was affected by the decrease in selling prices of certain main pharmaceutical products. The Directors decided to reformulate the Target Group’s business strategy by lowering the administrative expenses, broadening the customer base to induce more sales and cutting headcount of staff in order to maintain steady growth in profit.

Liquidity and financial information

APPENDIX V FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE SMARTPOINT GROUP

2 Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group

  • (a) The balances of assets and liabilities of the Group are extracted from the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Group as at 30 June 2008 as included in the published interim report of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2008.

  • (b) The balances of assets and liabilities of the Target Group are extracted from the audited combined balance sheet of the Target Group as at 30 June 2008 as set out in Appendix II of this circular.

  • (c) Excess of consideration of the Acquisition over the net fair value of the acquired net assets

Pursuant to the sale and purchase agreement dated 29 November 2008 as supplemented by a supplemental agreement dated 16 December 2008 entered into between Wing Shan International Limited (the “Company”), Sureplan Limited (“Sureplan”), Mr. Yang Bin, Mr. Wu Chiu Kong and Mr. Xu Tiefeng (the “Agreement”), the consideration payable by the Company for the proposed acquisition of the entire issued share capital in the Target Company (the “Acquisition”) will be HK$300,000,000. Pursuant to the Agreement, Sureplan will waive all indebtedness due and owing by the Target Company to the then shareholders (the “Shareholder’s Loan”) as at the completion date of the Acquisition. The consideration for the Acquisition will be satisfied by the Company in the following manner upon completion: (1) HK$220,000,000 shall be paid by the Company by way of the allotment and issue of 564,102,563 Consideration Shares at HK$0.39 per Consideration Share to Sureplan; and (2) HK$80,000,000 by cash. The cash portion of the consideration of HK$80,000,000 will be satisfied by cash of HK$10,000,000 from internal resources of the Group and HK$70,000,000 from the proceeds of placing of 233,334,000 new shares at HK$0.30 per placing share to not less than six independent placees (the “Placing”). The estimated placing commission of HK$1,050,000 is recognized as a reduction of share premium. The Acquisition and the Placing are inter-conditional with each other.

Upon completion of the Acquisition, identifiable assets and liabilities of the Target Group will be accounted for in the consolidated financial statements of the Enlarged Group at their fair values under the purchase method of accounting. The identifiable assets and liabilities of the Target Group are recorded in the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet of the Enlarged Group at their fair values as if the Acquisition was completed on 30 June 2008. The fixed assets (including property, plant and equipment and interests in leasehold land), inventories and deferred tax liabilities increase by approximately HK$71,391,000, HK$3,858,000 and HK$18,812,000 respectively as a result of the fair value adjustments. The Shareholder’s Loan of the Target Group decreases by HK$27,318,000 upon the Acquisition.

The fair value of fixed assets of the Target Group of HK$155,970,000 is determined by the directors of the Company with reference to the fair value of the property assets as at 31 October 2008 as stated in the valuation report prepared by BMI as set out in Appendix V to this circular. The fair value of inventories of the

– 238 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE SMARTPOINT GROUP

APPENDIX V

Target Group of HK$25,525,000 is determined by the directors of the Company with reference to the prevailing market prices of the Target Group’s products. As a result of the aforesaid fair value adjustments of fixed assets and inventories, deferred tax liabilities are calculated based on the applicable tax rate of 25%.

Based on the above-mentioned fair value adjustments of the identifiable tangible assets and liabilities, the fair value of the net assets of the Target Group is approximately HK$228,742,000. As the directors of the Company consider that the consideration of HK$300,000,000 approximates to the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the Target Group, the balance of HK$71,258,000 is therefore recognised as intangible assets for the purpose of this Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group to reflect the approximate value of the intangible assets as a result of the Acquisition. Goodwill from the Acquisition represents the difference between the consideration and the Target Group’s net assets, after consideration of the fair value adjustments in respect of fixed assets, inventories, intangible assets and deferred tax liabilities, as at 30 June 2008. No deferred taxation is recognized in respect of the intangible assets (including goodwill).

The fair value of the net identifiable assets of the Target Group at the date of completion of the Acquisition may be substantially different from the fair value used in the preparation of this Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group. In addition, the calculation of goodwill in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group is based on the value of Consideration Share at HK$0.39 per share on the assumption that the audited combined profit attributable to equity holders of the Target Company for the 12 months ending 30 June 2009, prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards or accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong, is not less than RMB 45,000,000. However, the consideration of the Acquisition may be different from the amount stated in this Appendix as (1) the value of the Consideration Share in respect of the calculation of the consideration of the Acquisition should be based on the market price of the share of the Company on the completion date of the Acquisition, which may be different from the prices presented in this Appendix; and (2) it is subject to a purchase price adjustment in the event that the audited combined profit attributable to equity holders of the Target Company for the 12 months ending 30 June 2009, prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards or accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong, is less than RMB 45,000,000. Therefore, the final amount of intangible assets (including goodwill) to be recognized in connection with the Acquisition may be different from the estimated intangible assets (including goodwill) stated herein.

The above unaudited pro forma adjustment reflects the increase in the net assets of HK$143,963,000.

  • (d) Translation of RMB into HK$ is made in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group at the rate of HK$1.1335 = RMB1.”

Our work did not constitute an audit or review made in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing or Hong Kong Standards on Review Engagements issued by the HKICPA, and accordingly, we do not express any such audit or review assurance on the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.

We planned and performed our work so as to obtain the information and explanations we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been properly compiled by the directors of the Company on the basis stated, that such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Group and that the adjustments are appropriate for the purposes of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information as disclosed pursuant to paragraph 4.29(1) of the Listing Rules.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information is for illustrative purposes only, based on the judgements and assumptions of the directors of the Company, and because of its hypothetical nature, it does not provide any assurance or indication that any event will take place in the future and may not be indicative of the financial position of the Enlarged Group as at 30 June 2008 or any future date.

PROPERTY VALUATION

APPENDIX VII

The following is the texts of the letter, summary of values and valuation certificates, prepared for the purpose of incorporation in this circular received from BMI Appraisals Limited, an independent valuer, in connection with its valuations as at 31 January 2010 of the properties held/to be acquired/rented by the Group.

11 March 2010

The Directors

Winteam Pharmaceutical Group Limited

Room 2801-5 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 from Mr. HE Zhaojian (the “Vendor”) or rented by the Company and/or its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as the “Group”). 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 January 2010 (the “date of valuation”).

BASIS OF VALUATION

Our valuations of the 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”.

– 247 –

PROPERTY VALUATION

APPENDIX VII

PROPERTY CATEGORISATIONS

In the course of our valuations, the valued properties are categorised into the following Groups:

Group I – Properties held/to be acquired from the Vendor by the Group for owner-occupation in the PRC Group II – Properties held/to be acquired from the Vendor by the Group for investment in the PRC Group III – Properties held by the Group for owner-occupation in the PRC Group IV – Properties held by the Group for investment in the PRC Group V – Properties held by the Group under contractual rights in the PRC Group VI – Property held by the Group for future development in the PRC Group VII – Property rented by the Group in Hong Kong Group VIII – Property rented by the Group in the PRC

VALUATION METHODOLOGIES

In valuing Property Nos. 2 – 6, 11, 13 – 15 and 18, we have valued them on an open 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 relevant 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.

For Property Nos. 5, 6, 13 – 15, we have also adopted the Investment Approach where appropriate 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.

In valuing Property Nos. 1, 7 – 10, 12, due to the inherent nature of usage and lack of market sales comparables, the properties have been valued by 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 and 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. However this approach generally furnishes the most reliable indication of value for assets without a known used market.

For Property Nos. 16 and 17, we cannot attribute any commercial value to the property due to the absence of relevant title documents.

– 248 –

APPENDIX VII

PROPERTY VALUATION

For remaining properties, we are of the opinion that the properties rented by the Group have no commercial value either because of their non-assignabilities in the open market or there are prohibitions against subletting and/or assignment contained in the tenancy agreements or the lack of marketable and substantial profit rents.

TITLE INVESTIGATION

For the properties located in the PRC, we have been provided with extracts of title documents 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 extracts handed to us. In the course of our valuations, we have relied upon the advice and information given by the Group and its PRC legal adviser, King’s Law Firm ( ) regarding the titles of the properties. All documents have been used for reference only.

In valuing the properties in the PRC, we have relied on the advice given by the Group and its PRC legal adviser that Foshan City An Ning Company Limited ( ) (the “Target Company”) and/or its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as the “Target Group”) has valid and enforceable titles to the properties which are freely transferable, and has free and uninterrupted rights to use the same, for the whole of the unexpired terms granted subject to the payment of annual government rent/land use fees and all requisite land premium/purchase consideration payable have been fully settled.

In valuing the interests in the properties rented by the Group, we have been provided with copies of the tenancy agreements relating to the properties. However, we have not searched the titles of the properties and have not scrutinized 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. 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 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 properties externally and where possible, the interior of the properties. In 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.

– 249 –

APPENDIX VII

PROPERTY VALUATION

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.

Except otherwise stated, 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 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.

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.

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.

For the properties located in the PRC, as advised by the legal adviser, the potential tax liabilities include Value Added Tax ( ) at 17% of total revenue, Business Tax ( ) at 5% of the taxable income, City Development Tax ( ) at 7% of Circulation Tax ( ), Education Charge ( ) at 3% of Circulation Tax and Income Tax ( ) at 25% on profit before tax. The exact amount of tax payable upon realization of the relevant properties in the PRC will be subject to the formal tax advice issued by the relevant tax authorities at the time of disposal of relevant properties upon presentation of the relevant transaction documents. However, as advised by the Company, the Group will continue to occupy the PRC properties in their existing uses for its existing medical business and the likelihood of any tax liabilities being crystallized is, therefore, remote.

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.

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 Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
