LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The settlement process and payment schedules were proposed by the Purchaser and agreed to by the Company through arm’s length discussions. The Company has been considering disposing of the Sale Equity for some time but has not received offers attractive enough. So far, the Company has only received two offers to purchase the Sale Equity, one from the Purchaser and the other from a local PRC developer. The factors considered by the Board in determining which of the offers to accept include, but are not limited to, (i) the consideration, where the consideration proposed by the Purchaser is 33.3% higher than the other prospective buyer, (ii) the reputation of the prospective buyer and its group, (iii) the security, being the guarantee provided by the Purchaser Guarantor, which is not offered by the other prospective buyer. As such, the Board considers even though the payment schedule of the Consideration spreads out over the course of three years, the terms of the Disposals are still in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Conditions Precedent
Completion of the Disposals is conditional upon fulfilment of the following Conditions:
-
(i) the Purchaser has credited the Escrow Amount to the Escrow Account pursuant to the Escrow Agreement;
-
(ii) Shareholders’ approval in respect of the Equity Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder (including but not limited to the Disposals) have been obtained by the Company at the SGM;
-
(iii) a corporate guarantee has been provided by the Purchaser Guarantor in favour of the Vendor guaranteeing the performance of all payment obligations in relation to the Disposals under the Equity Transfer Agreement; and
-
(iv) a co-operation agreement has been entered into between the Purchaser and Hunan Wancheng, the other shareholder of the Target Company, in relation to the Target Company.
The Parties have not agreed on a long stop date for the Disposals.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Conditions set out in paragraphs (i), (iii) and (iv) above have been fulfilled.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Completion
The First Disposal Registration
The Vendor shall, within 3 Business Days after the satisfaction of the Conditions, transfer the First Sale Equity to the Purchaser, and proceed with the First Disposal Registration together with the Purchaser, including the change of legal representative and relevant officers to the appointed persons designated by the Purchaser.
The Second Disposal Registration
If the Vendor has, within 6 months of the First Disposal Registration and within 5 Business Days of the payment of the Second Disposal First Payment into the account designated by the Vendor, transferred the Second Sale Equity to the Purchaser, on the basis that the Vendor has executed all relevant equity transfer documents in relation to the Second Disposal, the Second Sale Equity is deemed to have been transferred to the Purchaser. The Vendor is obligated to procure the Second Disposal Registration together with the Purchaser, but the Vendor is not responsible for the timing of completion of the Second Disposal Registration.
In the event the Vendor fails to procure the Second Disposal Registration due to the failure to submit any relevant equity transfer documents in relation to the Second Disposal within 5 Business Days of the payment of the Second Disposal First Payment, the Vendor shall pay a daily default payment to the Purchaser in the sum of RMB178,750, being 0.05% of the Second Disposal Consideration accrued until the day on which all relevant equity transfer documents in relation to the Second Disposal are submitted to the Purchaser, and if the Vendor fails to procure the registration of the change of the Second Sale Equity 30 days after the due date for registration i.e. within 5 Business Days of the payment of the Second Disposal First Payment, the Purchaser shall have the right to request the Vendor to return an amount equivalent to two times the amount of the Second Disposal First Payment paid by the Purchaser, and to commence legal proceedings in court for specific performance of the Equity Transfer Agreement.
The Target Company shall bear all fees, charges and costs incurred from the First Disposal Registration and the Second Disposal Registration, while the Vendor and the Purchaser shall be responsible for their respective taxes arising from the Disposals.
– 14 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Completion shall take place upon completion of the Second Disposal Registration. It is expected that Completion will take place before the First Disposal Remaining Payment and the Second Disposal Remaining Payment have been settled in full. As the Purchaser Guarantor will provide the Company with a guarantee guaranteeing all obligations of the Purchaser under the Equity Transfer Agreement, the Board considers the Company has sufficient protection and security against any potential default by the Purchaser under the Equity Transfer Agreement, therefore, the arrangement with the prolonged payment schedule is still regarded by the Board as being in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Upon Completion, the Target Company will be owned as to 92.21% by the Purchaser, and the following properties which are, as at the Latest Practicable Date, held by the Target Company will be transferred to the Purchaser along with the Disposals.

The principal activities of the Target Company are, inter alia, property development, property rental and management. As the Vendor is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and it owns 92.21% of the equity interests in the Target Company, the Target Company is an indirect non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon Completion, the Target Company will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Reasons for the Disposals and use of proceeds
Notwithstanding a loss of approximately HK$100,852,000 is expected to incur as a result of the Disposals, the Board still considers the Disposals represent a good opportunity to realise the value of the Sale Equity because the Board is of the view that the development process undertaken by the Target Company in Hunan Province is much slower than it had expected and that the average selling prices of the properties in Yiyang(益陽)at approximately RMB3,586 per sq.m. are not achieving a return comparable to that of the Group’s other investments in Dongguan Hometown and Shenzhen Maguling(馬古嶺)at approximately RMB12,800 and RMB60,000 per sq.m., respectively. Hence, the Group considers it the best opportunity to dispose of the Sale Equity. Moreover, the proceeds from the Disposals will increase the cash resources of the Group, allowing the Group to redeploy and relocate its resources to other investment opportunities, including property development, in the Pearl River Delta region which the Directors believe may bring better and more attractive returns. The Directors are of the view that bringing the investments of the Group back to the region closer to Hong Kong will reduce its management costs and improve management efficiency. The Directors also consider that the Disposals are on normal commercial terms, and that the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
The net proceeds from the Disposals will be approximately RMB765,000,000 which are intended to be used by the Company:-
-
(i) as to approximately RMB150,000,000, being 19.61% of the net proceeds, to fund the Group’s Maguling*(馬古嶺)project located in Shenzhen; and
-
(ii) as to approximately RMB615,000,000, being 80.39% of the net proceeds, to fund new investments and acquisitions in the future as and when suitable opportunities arise and for general working capital of the Group.
The new projects which the Company expects to invest in with the proceeds from the Disposals will mainly be property development projects in the Guangdong Province of the PRC. Other than the Maguling*(馬古嶺)project in Shenzhen, the Company has not yet identified any particular new projects for investment as at the Latest Practicable Date.
– 20 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Company does not currently have any detailed or concrete plan on the improvement of the Group’s scale of operations.
The Board and the Company currently do not have any intention, arrangement, agreement, understanding, negotiation (concluded or otherwise) on:
-
(i) any disposal/termination/scaling-down of the Company’s existing businesses apart from the Disposals;
-
(ii) injection of any new business to the Group; and/or
-
(iii) any change in the shareholding structure of the Company.
Financial effects of the Disposals
The Board considers that the return from the investment in the Sale Equity is much slower than it had originally expected, where since the acquisition of the Target Company in 2007, the Target Company sold approximately 273,110 sq.m. of properties making a total revenue of approximately RMB979,242,000, in which the average selling price was about RMB3,586 per sq.m.. Even the average selling price of the latest phase III development of the project was only approximately RMB4,500 per sq.m.. Besides, the Target Company has only declared dividends in 2016 and 2017 in the amount of approximately RMB38,500,000 and RMB34,700,000, respectively and it will take more than ten years for the Company to be able to realise its investment if the Target Company continues to pay out dividends in similar amounts. Given the historical performance of the Target Company as aforementioned, the Company does not expect the Target Company to be able to pay out dividends in significantly higher amounts in the future. If the Company disposes of the Sale Equity pursuant to the Disposals and reallocate the resources to Pearl River Delta region like the Group’s Hometown Project in Dongguan (recent average property selling price was about RMB12,800 per sq.m.) and the Maguling*(馬古嶺)project in Shenzhen (expected average property selling price about RMB60,000 per sq.m.), it will be able to realise its investment in a much quicker way. The Group has been carrying on its remaining business of property development and investment in the PRC since 2007. If the Group redeploys its resources to other property investment projects in the Pearl River Delta region, the Group expects there to be an increase in its scale of operations in this aspect and hence will have a positive impact on the revenue and profit in the future.
– 21 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
It is expected that the Group will record a loss as a result of the Disposals of approximately HK$100,852,000. The present value of the Consideration, being RMB779,919,000 (approximately HK$899,247,000), is used to calculate the loss on the Disposals. The loss is estimated based on and includes (a) the difference of RMB32,901,000 (approximately HK$37,935,000) between the Consideration of RMB800,000,000 (approximately HK$922,400,000) and the attributable net asset value of the Target Company and its subsidiaries of RMB832,901,000 (approximately HK$960,335,000), which is estimated based on the unaudited net asset value of the Target Company and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2017 and the release of the relevant reserve, (b) the relevant estimated tax of RMB32,960,000 (approximately HK$38,003,000), (c) direct attributable expenses of approximately HK$1,761,000 expected to be incurred in connection with the Disposals, and (d) the effect of discounting the First Disposal Consideration and the Second Disposal Consideration of HK$23,153,000. The difference of the approximated loss of HK$100,852,000 and the estimated loss on the Disposals after taxation as if the Disposals had taken place on 31 March 2017 of HK$129,320,000 as set out in Note 3(v) to Appendix IV to this circular was mainly attributable to (i) the expected impairment of goodwill; (ii) share of dividend by the non-controlling interest of the Target Group; and (iii) the loss after tax of the Target Group during the three months ended 30 June 2017. The actual loss arising from the Disposals depends on the actual amount of net assets of the Target Group and actual amount of exchange fluctuation reserve of the Target Group to be released to profit or loss on the completion date. Therefore, the actual loss on disposal shall be different to the approximated loss of HK$100,852,000.
The Board considers that discounted cash flow method is an appropriate method to calculate the value of the Sale Equity as at the date of the Equity Transfer Agreement as it is a generally adopted accounting practice. The discounted present value of the Consideration of RMB779,919,000 (approximately HK$899,247,000) is only 0.5% lower than the valuation of the Sale Equity of RMB783,608,000 (approximately HK$903,500,000). The Sale Equity value is 92.21% of valuation amount of the Target Company of RMB849,808,000 (approximately HK$979,829,000). The tax on the Disposals is the PRC Corporate Income Tax estimated based on the cost of purchase of the First Sale Equity and Second Sale Equity recorded in the book of Vendor, which is different from the attributable net asset value of the Target Company and its subsidiaries recorded in the consolidated accounts of the Group. The effect of discounting RMB20,081,000 (approximately HK$23,153,000) is the difference between the total Consideration RMB800,000,000 (approximately HK$922,400,000) and its discounted present value RMB779,919,000 (approximately HK$899,247,000). It has no profit or loss effect on the Disposals since upon
– 22 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
receipt of the First and Second Disposal Consideration, the RMB20,081,000 (approximately HK$23,153,000) will be released and recognised as finance income, of which RMB6,095,000 (approximately HK$7,027,000) will be recognised as finance income in the second financial year and RMB13,986,000 (approximately HK$16,126,000) in the third financial year. The Group considers that the disposal value, which represents the total value of the Disposal, is a fair and reasonable amount which is in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Net Assets
As at 31 March 2017, the audited consolidated net assets of the Group amounted to HK$3,529,584,000. As set out in Appendix IV to this circular, assuming the Disposals had been fully completed on 31 March 2017, the unaudited pro forma consolidated net assets, unaudited pro forma consolidated total assets and unaudited pro forma consolidated total liabilities of the Remaining Group would have been decreased from HK$3,529,584,000, HK$6,084,115,000 and HK$2,554,531,000 to HK$3,301,732,000, HK$5,480,239,000 and HK$2,178,507,000 respectively.
Earnings
The Group recorded audited consolidated profit of HK$149,725,000 for the year ended 31 March 2017. As set out in Appendix IV to this circular, assuming the Disposals had been fully taken place on 1 April 2016, the unaudited pro forma consolidated loss of the Remaining Group for the year ended 31 March 2017 would have been HK$60,645,000.
Upon Completion, the Company will no longer hold any equity interest in the Target Company and the Target Company will cease to be an indirect non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
C. IMPLICATIONS OF THE LISTING RULES
As one or more of the applicable ratios under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Disposals exceed 75%, the Disposals constitute a very substantial disposal by the Company under the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules.
The SGM will be convened and held for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Equity Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder (including but not limited to the Disposals). The aforesaid approvals shall be obtained by way of a poll. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief after having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting in the SGM for the approval of the Equity Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder (including but not limited to the Disposals).

LETTER FROM YIYANG LINGYUN ASSET APPRAISAL COMPANY
The following is the text of the letter received from Yiyang Lingyun Asset Appraisal Company* in connection with its valuation of the equity interest of Carrianna (Hunan) Enterprise Co Ltd as at 30 June 2017, which forms part of the valuation report included in Appendix V.
YIYANG LINGYUN ASSET APPRAISAL COMPANY
2nd Floor, 5 Yongan Road, Yuanjiang City, Yiyang, Hunan, PRC
Date: 5 July 2017
The Directors
Carrianna Group Holdings Company Limited 26th Floor, Wyler Centre Phase II, No. 200 Tai Lin Pai Road, Kwai Chung, New Territories, Hong Kong
Dear Sirs/Madams,
VALUATION OF THE EQUITY INTEREST OF CARRIANNA (HUNAN) ENTERPRISE COMPANY LIMITED
In accordance with the request from Tak Sing Alliance Limited (a subsidiary of Carrianna Group Holdings Company Limited), we have carried out a valuation of the equity interest of Carrianna (Hunan) Enterprise Co. Ltd. (‘‘Carrianna (Hunan)’’ or the ‘‘Company’’) as at 30 June 2017 (the ‘‘Valuation Date’’). The purpose of this report is to provide our opinion on the fair value of the equity interest of the Company as at 30 June 2017 based on the net asset value (‘‘NAV’’) of the Company as per balance sheet dated 30 June 2017. We understand this valuation is required for the purpose of incorporation in the circular of Carrianna Group Holdings Company Limited in respect of its equity transfer of the 92.21% equity interest of Carrianna (Hunan).
SCOPE OF VALUATION
Carrianna (Hunan) is principally engaged in the property development, property management and property investment. The objective of this report is to access the equity interest of the Company (the ‘‘Sale Equity’’) based on the reported figures as set out on the Company’s balance sheet (‘‘Balance Sheet’’), together with the consideration of property revaluation adjustment, dividend payables, asset impairment and contingency liabilities as a result of the property revaluation.
– 26 –
LETTER FROM YIYANG LINGYUN ASSET APPRAISAL COMPANY
BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND CORE ASSETS OF THE COMPANY
As per our discussion with the management, Carrianna (Hunan) currently owns properties located in Yiyang City of Jiangxi Province, the PRC (the ‘‘Property’’). The Property details are set out in our Property Valuation Report dated 5 June 2017.
Based on our discussion with the management, except the 589.55 Acres land acquisition right premium from Yiyang of Hunan Province, the Company owned no trademarks, technologies, intangibles or other liabilities that were not reflected on the Balance Sheet provided by Carrianna (Hunan).
VALUATION THEORY
In arriving at our Opinion of Value, we make reference to three generally accepted approaches to value, namely: the Market Approach, the Asset/Cost Approach and the Income Approach.
Market Approach considers prices recently paid for similar assets, with adjustments made to indicate market prices to reflect the condition and utility of the appraised assets relative to the comparable market transactions.
Asset based Approach considers the cost to reproduce or replace in new condition the assets appraised in accordance with current market prices for similar assets, with allowance for accrued depreciation as condition or obsolescence present, whether arising from physical, functional or economic causes.
Income Approach is the conversion of expected periodic benefits of ownership into an indication of value. It is based on the principle that an informed buyer would pay no more for an asset than an amount equal to the present worth of anticipated future benefits (income) from the same or equivalent asset with similar risk.
DETERMINATION OF THE VALUATION METHOD
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The valuation of the NAV of the Company will be assessed in two phases. In phase one, the value of the property interests were assessed by our property valuer. We have been provided the market value of the property interests that were based on the same scope of valuation as at 30 June 2017.
– 27 –
LETTER FROM YIYANG LINGYUN ASSET APPRAISAL COMPANY
In phase two, we assess the fair value of the Sales Equity. Given that the primary asset of Carrianna (Hunan) is the property interest, the asset approach will be adopted. The fair value of Carrianna (Hunan) was assessed by the adjusted NAV that incorporated revaluation change due to the fair value of property interests, dividend payable, asset impairment and other contingency liabilities of the Sale Equity.
Based on the information available to us, the book value of equity interest of Carrianna (Hunan) (the ‘‘Adjusted NAV’’) is obtained from the NAV of Carrianna (Hunan) as at 30 June 2017. We have considered the upward adjustment of the property valuation in the NAV adjustment. With reference to the Balance Sheet dated 30 June 2017 provided by Carrianna (Hunan, the original net book value of the property was RMB352.96 million. According to the Property Valuation Report dated 5 July 2017, the aggregate valuation of the property was RMB681.07 million), which representing an upward adjustment of RMB328.11 million.
According to the information provided to us, Carrianna (Hunan) signed a supplementary agreement 《Overall Development of Hunan Yiyang Zishan Lake Park Operation Contract》on 11 April 2011 with Yiyang Government of Hunan province, in which the Company entitled to acquire 694.37 acres of land from Yiyang’s Government amid the provincial land use quota, at 73%-100% of standard commercial and residential land price of the land lot location. Because the standard land price is lower than the market price, the expected land acquisition right has a land premium. As at 30 June 2017, the company has 589.55 acres expected land acquisition right premium not been exercised and Carrianna (Hunan) does not include the 589.55 acres expected land acquisition right premium as an intangible asset in the 30 June 2017 balance sheet. According to the property valuation report dated 5 July 2017, the expected land acquisition costs was RMB 366 million and the land market price was RMB 652 million, the expected land acquisition right premium was about RMB286 million, which representing an upward adjustment RMB286 million.
As we are not tax expert, we have relied on Carrianna (Hunan) to assess the provision on deferred tax liabilities due to property revaluation. The amount of the deferred tax liabilities is estimated to be RMB160.78 million. It is also assumed that information provided to us is correctly calculated and free from misrepresentation. Since we are not expert nor in a position to provide tax advice, we can only rely on the information provided and we cannot verify the reasonableness of the assumption.
Based on the information available to us, we inspected the real situation of fixed assets and inventory and decided to make impairment for some obsolete assets. The carrying amount of fixed assets and inventory were reduced by about RMB10.38 thousand and RMB78.46 thousand respectively. As per information provided, there is no adjustment required for account receivables, payables, other liabilities or other assets.

The Directors
Carrianna Group Holdings Company Limited 26th Floor
Wyler Centre Phase II No. 200 Tai Lin Pai Road Kwai Chung New Territories Hong Kong
Dear Sirs,
In accordance with your instructions of Tak Sing Alliance Limited (a subsidiary of Carrianna Group Holdings Company Limited) to value the property interests in the People’s Republic of China (the ‘‘PRC’’), we confirm that we have carried out 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 value of such property interests as at 30 June 2017 (‘‘valuation date’’) for the purpose of incorporation in the circular.
Our valuation is our opinion of the market value of the property interest which we would define market value as intended to mean ‘‘the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’slength transaction after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion’’.
In valuing the property Nos. 1-5, we have valued on the basis that the property will be developed and completed in accordance with the latest development proposal as provided to us by the Group. We have assumed that all consents, approvals and licences from relevant government authorities for the development proposal have been obtained or will be obtained without onerous conditions or undue time delays. We have also assumed that the design and construction of the development are in compliance with the local planning regulations and have been approved by the relevant authorities. In arriving at our opinion of value, we have adopted the direct comparison approach by making reference to comparable sales evidences as available in the relevant market and have also taken into account the expended construction costs and the costs that will be expended to complete the development to reflect the quality of the completed development.

LETTER FROM YIYANG LINGYUN ASSET APPRAISAL COMPANY
In valuing the property Nos. 6-8, we have assessed the market value of the property interests by adopting the direct comparison approach and made reference to the recent transactions for similar premises in the proximity. Adjustments have been made for the differences in transaction dates, building age, floor area etc. between the comparable properties and the property.
Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the owner sells the property interests on the open market in its existing state without the benefit of a deferred term contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement which would serve to increase the value of the property interests. In addition, no forced sale situation in any manner is assumed in our valuation.
We have not caused title searches to be made for the property interests at the relevant government bureau in the PRC. We have been provided with certain extracts of title documents relating to the property interests. However, we have not inspected the original documents to verify the ownership, encumbrances or the existence of any subsequent amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us. In undertaking our valuation for the property interests, we have relied on the legal opinion (the ‘‘PRC legal opinion’’) provided by the Company’s PRC legal adviser, Hunan Yi Jian Law Firm.
We have relied to a considerable extent on information provided by the Group and have accepted advice given to us by the Group on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenure, occupation, lettings, site and floor areas and in the identification of the properties and other relevant matter. We have also been advised by the Group that no material facts had been concealed or omitted in the information provided to us. All documents have been used for reference only.
All dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificates are based on information contained in the documents provided to us by the Group and are approximations only. No on-site measurement has been taken.
We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the interior of the properties. However, we have not carried out a structural survey nor have we inspected woodwork or other parts of the structures which are covered, unexposed or inaccessible and we are therefore unable to report that any such parts of the properties are free from defect. No tests were carried out on any of the services.
No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the property interests nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the property interests are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect their values.

APPENDIX II
UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
Set out below are the unaudited consolidated statements of financial position of the Target Group as at 31 March 2015, 2016 and 2017 and the unaudited consolidated statements of profit or loss, unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive income, unaudited consolidated statements of changes in equity and unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows of the Target Group for the years ended 31 March 2015, 2016 and 2017, and certain explanatory notes (the ‘‘Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information’’). The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information has been presented on the basis set out in note 2 of the notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information of the Target Group and are prepared in accordance with the significant accounting policies adopted by the Company as shown in its annual report for the year ended 31 March 2017, and Rule 68(2)(a)(i) of Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information is prepared by the Directors solely for the purpose of inclusion in this circular in connection with the Disposals. The Company’s auditors, Ernst & Young, (the ‘‘reporting accountants’’) were engaged to review the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information of the Target Group set out on pages 54 to 61 of this circular in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 ‘‘Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity’’ and with reference to Practice Note 750 ‘‘Review of Financial Information under the Hong Kong Listing Rules for a Very Substantial Disposal’’ issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable the reporting accountants to obtain assurance that the reporting accountants would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, the reporting accountants do not express an audit opinion.
Based on their review on the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information of the Target Group, nothing has come to their attention that causes them to believe that the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information of the Target Group is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of preparation as set out in note 2 below.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE REMAINING GROUP
The Remaining Group is principally engaged in investment holding, property investment and development, the operations of hotel, restaurant and food businesses.
Set out below is the management discussion and analysis and financial review on the Remaining Group:
(i) For the year ended 31 March 2017
Business review
For the year ended 31 March 2017, the Remaining Group’s turnover was HK$783,787,000 increased by 11% from last year. Excluding the estimated loss on disposal of the Target Group, the Remaining Group’s profit attributable to shareholders was HK$123,027,000, increased by 120% from last year. Excluding property revaluation gain and related taxes, the Remaining Group’s profit attributable to shareholders was HK$94,474,000, increased by 174% from last year. During the year, the Remaining Group’s restaurant, food and hotel businesses recorded turnover growth with a combined growth of 15%. However, such growth was partially offset by the reduction in the Remaining Group’s property segment revenue. Increase in the Remaining Group’s profit attributable to shareholders was mainly due to the increase in operating profit from restaurant, food and hotel business and the significant improvement in operating loss in the Remaining Group’s property sector. On the other hand, the depreciation of RMB by more than 5% last year partially offset the growth of the Remaining Group’s profit attributable to shareholders excluding property revaluation gain and related taxes.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE REMAINING GROUP
APPENDIX III
(a) Property
The Remaining Group’s turnover for property segment for the year ended 31 March 2017 was HK$71,010,000, decreased by 16% from last year. The Remaining Group’s segment profit was HK$124,134,000, increased by 31% from last year. Excluding property revaluation gain, segment profit was HK$95,186,000, increased by 35% from last year. Decrease in turnover was mainly due to the decrease in rental income arisen by RMB depreciation. However, significant improvement of operating loss in China East City Project in Lianyungang of Jiangsu Province turned the Remaining Group’s segment profit into growth.
The Remaining Group’s 50% owned Dongguan Home Town completed construction for the east tower at the end of 2016. Export e-commerce product exhibition and trading centre located on the sixth floor and exhibition centre located at the basement floor had started operation. Other floors will be opened for business by phases together with the west and north tower from the end of 2017. A total of 789 units, 40,312 sq.m, of Home Town residential apartments had been sold with sales revenue of over RMB440,000,000. These units will be delivered to customer by September to October 2017 and booked as sales revenue. On the other hand, Home Town owned 30% share of Red Star Macalline furniture mall which had started operation in September 2016. Rent out rate was near 100%. Rental income will grow continuously from the second year of operation.
On 5 November 2016, the Remaining Group entered into an agreement to jointly develop a city renewal project at Maguling, Luohu district of Shenzhen (see the Group’s announcement on 5 November 2016). The project was recently submitted to government for redevelopment approval.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE REMAINING GROUP
APPENDIX III
Rental income from the Remaining Group’s investment properties was HK$69,718,000, decreased by 10% from last year as a result of RMB devaluation of 5%. Excluding RMB devaluation effect, rental reduction was 5% from last year. The main reason for the reduction was a major tenant in Carrianna Friendship Square had new renovation, a rent free period of three months was granted which resulted in rental reduction of about RMB1 million. In April 2017, the Remaining Group sold its 6 floors, 8,398 sq.ft., commercial property in Tak Sing Alliance Building for HK$68,648,000 (see announcement on 12 April 2017). The rental growth as well as yield against selling price were low for Tak Sing Alliance Building. The proceeds for the sales was used to buy, at different dates, 3 retail shops with good growth potential at Kowloon urban area. Rental yield was improved from 2.6% to 3.2%. On the other hand, construction for the factory building in Panyu Guangdong province had been completed and was leased at a monthly rental of RMB300,000 to a tenant who will start to move in by phases from fourth quarter of 2017. For the coming year, rental income will continue to grow mildly and continue to provide steady cash contribution to the Remaining Group.
(b) Restaurant, Food and Hotel
Turnover of the Remaining Group’s restaurant, food and hotel segment for the year ended 31 March 2017 was HK$712,777,000, increased by 15% from last year. Segment profit was HK$79,830,000, increased by 14% from last year. All restaurant, food and hotel businesses recorded growth in sales revenue during the year. Operating results of restaurant and hotel recorded satisfactory growth while food business operating profit was about the same as last year. Excluding the effect of RMB devaluation, food business profit increased by 4% from last year.
The Remaining Group’s restaurant turnover for the year was HK$335,653,000, increased by 16% from last year. Carrianna restaurants turnover increased by 19% from last year. Except Shenzhen Jing Du shop, all Carrianna restaurants in mainland China as well as the Hong Kong shop recorded growth in sales revenue. Delicious Group of restaurants also recorded turnover of 13% with the growth mainly came from new shops opened during the year. Due to fierce competition, most old Delicious shops recorded reduction in turnover from last year. As at 31 March 2017, Delicious Group operated 17 restaurants in Hong Kong. In addition to Carrianna and Delicious Group of restaurants, the new ‘ShunYi(’ 順意)brand of Shunde cuisine restaurant opened in October 2016 in Shenzhen also contributed HK$8,000,000 of turnover to the Remaining Group’s restaurant business.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE REMAINING GROUP
APPENDIX III
For the coming year, Carrianna restaurants will continue to control purchasing cost, improve operating flow to enhance efficiency and strengthen promotion of wedding banquet and business dining. Management will ensure the profit growth trend can be continued. Delicious Group plans to open 4 to 5 more shops for the coming year. As operating results for old shops started to improve in second quarter of 2017, together with profit contribution from new shops, management is cautiously optimistic about the operating results of Delicious Group for the coming year. On the other hand, the Remaining Group will open a Korean restaurant and a Vietnam/Thailand cuisine restaurant in Causeway Bay in September 2017. Together with the new Shunde cuisine restaurant in Shenzhen, the Remaining Group’s restaurant business will become even more diversified.
The Remaining Group’s food business turnover for the year was HK$319,808,000, increased by 16% from last year. Operating profit was about the same as last year. Excluding the effect of RMB devaluation, operating profit of food business increased by more than 5% from last year. Major turnover and profit contributor continued to be mooncake sales. The Remaining Group’s turnover of food business in the mainland increased by 4% from last year and increased by 10% in RMB term. The growth mainly came from Hainan province mooncake sales while sales in Kunming and Shenzhen were about the same as last year. During the year, construction progress of Hainan new food factory was satisfactory. Construction is expected to be completed by first quarter of 2018 and production at the new factory is scheduled to start in second quarter of 2018. Profit Smart Group in Hong Kong had recorded a full year of operating results for this year while last year had only recorded 9 months. As a result, turnover increased significantly from the year. However, operating profit reduced due to new shops opening expenses and significant operating loss in the Un Chau shop at Shum Shui Po. For the coming year, the current level of mooncake sales revenue and operating profit should be maintained. Profit Smart Group will close shops with large operating loss and open 4 to 5 new shops. As shops opened in recent months are contributing satisfactory profit, together with improvement in factory direct sales profit, Profit Smart Group profit will return to growth.
The Remaining Group’s turnover of hotel business for the year was HK$57,316,000, increased by 3% from last year. Carrianna Hotel in Yiyang, Hunan Province recorded growth in turnover and operating cash while operating loss also reduced by 27% from last year. Turnover of Foshan Carrianna Hotel in RMB term was about the same as last year while operating results improved by 12%. For the coming year, the management will continue to improve service quality and put more effort on sales promotion in order to continue the growth in turnover and operating cash.

Excluding property revaluation gain and related taxes, the Remaining Group’s segment profit was HK$70,475,000, increased by 4% from last year.

Progress of the construction of the 4 six storeys shopping malls and 2 towers of services apartment of the project during the year was satisfactory. The 110,000 sq.m. east side shopping mall has passed preliminary government construction inspection and is undergoing internal decoration work.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE REMAINING GROUP
APPENDIX III
During the year, investment properties of the Remaining Group continued to provide stable rental revenue. Total rental income was HK$77,647,000 reduced by 5% from last year mainly due to depreciation of RMB against HKD. Carrianna Friendship Square rental income could only maintain the same level of last year due to slow down of the Shenzhen retail market.
Hotel, Restaurant and Food
The Remaining Group’s turnover for restaurant, food and hotel segment for the year ended 31 March 2016 was HK$622,015,000, increased by 14% from last year. Segment profit was HK$69,903,000, reduced by 26% from last year. The increase in turnover were mainly due to contribution of 9 months sales HK$66,235,000 from Profit Smart Group of food factory and bakeries which the Group completed acquisition on 1 July 2015 and the increase in turnover from Delicious restaurants by HK$68,956,000 to HK$165,114,000. Increase in turnover from these two businesses was partially offset by reduction in turnover from Carrianna restaurants and hotels operated in the mainland. Reduction in segment profit was mainly due to various one time adjustments of operating profit in last year amounting to HK$32,702,000. These one time adjustments include write back of payables and provisions due to closure of Beijing, Wuhan, old Kunming and old Hainan Carrianna Restaurants, fair value gain from contingent consideration of Delicious Restaurants and other non-recurring income. Excluding these write-backs, recurring operating income of the segment actually increased by HK$8,096,000, 13% from last year. Other than the increase in profit from Delicious and Profit Smart businesses, Carrianna mooncake profit also increased by 10% from last year. Carrianna restaurants operating results was roughly the same as last year while Carrianna hotels operating losses increased due to fierce competitions and government continued to control expenses in luxury star hotels.
The Remaining Group plans to expand the Hainan food factory and to add production line for other package food products. Negotiation for purchase of Industrial land is underway and construction is expected to start in early 2017. After 2 years of restructuring, the Remaining Group operates 7 restaurants in the mainland, 2 inside Carrianna Hotels in Foshan and Yiyang, one each in major Carrianna moon cake market of Kunming and Hainan and 3 in Shenzhen as at 31 March 2016.

Property
The Remaining Group’s turnover of property business for the year was HK$88,591,000, decreased by 27% from last year. Segment profit before tax was HK$131,083,000, decreased by 24% from last year. Excluding the effect of property revaluation gain and profit from sales of China South City shares, the Remaining Group’s segment profit before tax was HK$68,061,000, decreased by 48% from last year.
On the other hand, the Remaining Group’s 50% owned 410,000 sq.m. furniture, construction materials and household goods mall and services apartment project in Dongguan, the ‘‘Home Town’’, had good construction progress. Phase I mall, comprising 110,000 sq.m. 6 storeys above ground and two levels of basement will be completed in early 2016. Sales of shops has started in May 2015. Initial sales were slower than expected as investors in the mainland have increased their investments in the stock market recently. Management will increase effort and resources in sales promotion and expects sales to pick up in the second half of the year when investors take profit from the stock market and invest into properties. Shopping mall management team has been working hard to solicit shopping mall tenants. Progress has been satisfactory with negotiation for large anchor tenants approaching final stages.
For investment properties, the Remaining Group’s rental income for the year was HK$81,690,000, increased significantly by 6% from last year. Major contributors were Carrianna Friendship Square in Shenzhen with rental income increased by 6%. On the other hand, investment properties in Hong Kong as well as Imperial Palace shopping mall in Shenzhen also recorded satisfactory growth in rental income.
Hotel, Restaurant and Food
The Remaining Group’s turnover for hotel, restaurant and food division for the year was HK$543,973,000, increased by 11% from last year. Segment profit was HK$94,509,000, increased by 34% from last year. Increase in turnover was mainly due to 8 months turnover contribution of HK$96 million from Delicious restaurants which was acquired by the Remaining Group last year. Carrianna restaurants turnover increased by 12% while food and hotel business turnover decreased by 22% and 3% respectively. Operating profit increase was mainly due to restaurant business turned from loss to profit, together with reduction in operating loss in hotel business, were more than enough to offset decrease in profit from food business.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE REMAINING GROUP
APPENDIX III
During the year, to operate under a very difficult market environment, Carrianna restaurant management had made various efforts to increase sales revenue and control cost. The two loss making restaurants in Beijing and Wuhan were closed during the year. Operating areas and number of labours were reduced in restaurants in Hainan and Kunming in order to lower operating cost. Together with sales increase in the three restaurants in Shenzhen, profit contribution from Hong Kong Carrianna restaurant and reversal of prior year sales tax overprovision in Hainan and Kunming, Carrianna restaurants turned from operating loss to operating profit during the year. For the coming year, management will further control cost and improve operating efficiency in order to continue to provide operating profit to the Remaining Group.
The newly acquired Delicious ‘‘Cha Chaan Teng’’ restaurants group became a subsidiary of the Remaining Group on 1 August 2014. The first eight months turnover was HK$96,167,000 and operating profit was HK$5,656,000. ‘‘Cha Chaan Teng’’ and other low to medium price specialty restaurants is one of the key development area of the Remaining Group. Currently, Delicious group operates 10 Delicious(味皇)brand Cha Chaan Teng and 2 Gusto(嚐味)brand South East Asian food restaurants. In addition to two restaurants opened in Ma On Shan and Wanchai recently, the Remaining Group has planned to open 3 to 4 restaurants in Hong Kong and 1 to 2 restaurants in Shenzhen in the coming year. In order to support business expansion, the Remaining Group moved its central kitchen to Kwai Chung during the year. The new 6,300 sq. feet ground floor central kitchen can support up to 30 restaurants, enough for supporting restaurant expansion in the coming 2 to 3 years.
For the Remaining Group’s food business, moon cake sales revenue and profit decreased from last year for the first time mainly due to cancellation of orders from government departments and government owned enterprises. This was the result of continued tightening of government expenditure leading to cancellation of the usual practice of providing mooncake to staff for Mid-Autumn festival. For the coming year, government has restored the practice of providing employee with festival food such as mooncake. Management expects mooncake sales to be significantly higher than last year.

VIII. Valuation Approach
(I) Introduction to Valuation Methods
Generally speaking, there are three valuation methods, namely asset based approach, market approach and income approach.
- Asset based approach is a valuation method whereby the value of the valuation subject is determined on a reasonable assessment basis of the value of all assets and liabilities of an enterprise.
– 111 –
VALUATION REPORT ON THE SALE EQUITY
APPENDIX V
-
Market approach is a valuation method whereby the value of the valuation subject is determined by comparing the valuation subject with reference enterprises, enterprises with market transaction records as well as equity assets such as shareholders’ interests and securities. The reference enterprises comparison method and merger and acquisition comparison method are commonly used in market approach.
-
Income approach is a valuation method whereby the value of the valuation subject is determined by capitalizing or discounting the expected revenue of the appraised enterprise. The basis of the income approach is the expected utility theory in economics, that is, for investors, the value of an enterprise lies in the expected revenue that it will generate in future.
(II) Selection of Valuation Methods and Determination Method of Valuation Conclusion
- Application and analysis of market approach
The market approach is to evaluate the current fair market value of a valuation subject with a reference object on the real market. It is characterized with a direct evaluation angle and approach, an intuitive evaluation process, the direct drawing of evaluation data from the market and convincing evaluation findings. This valuation adopts the market approach for expected land acquisition right premium and buildings and land assigned.
- Application and analysis of income approach
The adoption of income approach for valuation requires the fulfillment of the following three pre-conditions:
-
(1) The investment amount paid by investor in a particular company shall not exceed the discounted value of the company’s future expected income.
-
(2) The future income of such company can be reasonably estimated.
-
(3) The income rate which corresponds to the risk level of the future income of such company can be reasonably estimated.
Carrianna (Hunan) Enterprise Co., Ltd.* is principally engaged in Real estate development, operation and infrastructure construction, operation management of owned properties and property leasing. As its performance has been unstable recently, its future operating revenue and relevant operating expenses cannot be reasonably forecasted, thus it is not eligible as the conditions of applying the income approach. Appraisal staff is of the view of not adopting the income approach for valuation purpose.
– 112 –
VALUATION REPORT ON THE SALE EQUITY
APPENDIX V
- Application and analysis of asset-based approach
The asset-based approach refers to the valuation methodology to determine the value of the valuation subject on the basis of reasonably assessing the value of all assets and liabilities of the subject entity. As the necessary information for adopting the asset-based approach could be provided by the appraised entities or collected by the valuer externally, in considering the purpose of this valuation and data collection situation, appraisal staffs are of the view that the asset-based approach can be adopted for this valuation purpose.
- Determination Method of Valuation Conclusion
The asset-based approach and market approach have been adopted as the methods for this valuation.
(III) Introduction to the Valuation Methods Adopted
Asset-based approach, market approach and income approach
-
Valuation Methods for Current Assets and Other Assets
-
(1) For the valuation of monetary capital (bank deposits and cash): carry out confirmation of bank deposits, check bank statements as well as bank reconciliation statements and apply stocktaking and inspection on cash. After checking that the monetary capital is error free, the appraised value is determined according to the verified carrying amount.
-
(2) For the valuation of inventory: Inventory includes materials, low-cost consumables, development costs, buildings and land. The replacement cost method is adopted for the valuation of materials, low-cost consumables, development costs and market approach for the residential and commercial buildings, market approach for land use rights and expected land acquisition right.

VALUATION REPORT ON THE SALE EQUITY
APPENDIX V
- A. There are three types of land to be appraised. The first type is the developed land under construction of Zihu Royal Garden, under Yi Guo Yong (2014) No. D00133 (of 46.92 acres), Yi Guo Yong (2015) No. D00322 (of 155.48 mu), Yi Guo Yong (2006) No. D00048 (of 144.59 acres) and Yi Guo Yong (2006) No. D00049 (of 144.81 acres) respectively, with a total area of 491.8 acres. The second type is the undeveloped land that will be replaced by the government. This includes Yi Guo Yong (2011) No. D00414 (of 89.22 acres) (the original licenced area is 89.22 acres and 26.77 acres has already been replaced), Yi Guo Yong (2006) No. D00047 (of 180.06 acres) and Yi Guo Yong (2015) No. D00064 (of 23.15 acres), covering a total area of 292.61 acres. The third type is the market premium value of the 589.55 acres expected land acquisition right.
For the land under development, we used the gross development value less development costs and developer’s profit to access the market value of these land use rights. In the course of our valuation we have employed the direct comparison method whereby comparisons based on transactions on actual sales of comparable property have been made. Comparable property with similar character, facing aspect, size, view, floor level, location and so on are analyzed and carefully weighed against all respective advantages and disadvantages of the Property in order to arrive at a fair comparison of value. Based on the aforesaid investigation, the market selling price of the property under development is about RMB4,021.92 per sq.m.
For development costs, we have made appropriate allowances including construction costs, professional fees for architects, structural engineers, quantity surveyors, legal advisors and town planners etc., interest on construction costs and professional fees, contingency and marketing costs which will be incurred. Based upon the prevailing market condition and the historical data of the company collected, the total development cost is about RMB3,248.15 per sq.m..
– 114 –
VALUATION REPORT ON THE SALE EQUITY
APPENDIX V
After deducting the PRC corporate income tax of 25% about RMB193.44 per sq.m., the gross profit before land value is RMB580.33. The rationales of the aforesaid are summarized as follows:
| Unit | |
|---|---|
| Item name | price |
| (RMB) | |
| per sq.m. | |
| Market selling price | 4021.92 |
| Total development cost | 3248.15 |
| Gross profit before land cost | 773.78 |
| Gross profit margin | 19.24% |
| Corporate income tax | 193.44 |
| Net profit before land cost | 580.33 |
| Net profit margin | 14.43% |
Developer’s profit is about RMB230 per sq.m. 5.72% of sales revenue (i.e. RMB4,021.92 x 5.72%). Hence the market price of the land is RMB350 per sq.m. (i.e. RMB580 – RMB230). The plot ratio of the 491.8 acres developed land is 2.4 and total market value of the 491.8 acres developed land under construction is RMB275,410,000 (market price of land x plot ratio x land area).
For the valuation of the 292.61 acres undeveloped land, due to the needs of municipal construction and planning, the government has explicitly requested for land replacement. On one hand, the land grading has to be downgraded and on the other hand the land replacement will have to last for 2 years. In considering these two factor, we made a 12% discount on the land value. The market price of the land is RMB308 (i.e. RMB350 x 88%) and its plot ratio is 2.1, hence the market value of the land is market price of land × plot ratio × land area=RMB126,090,000.
The market value of the above two types of land is RMB401,500,000.
The market approach is adopted for the market value of the 589.55 acres of expected land acquisition right premium.
– 115 –
VALUATION REPORT ON THE SALE EQUITY
APPENDIX V
Carrianna (Hunan) Enterprise Co., Ltd.* signed a supplementary agreement, 《Overall Development of Hunan Yiyang Zishan Lake Park Operation Contract》, on 11 April 2011 with Yiyang Government of Hunan Province, pursuant to which the company is entitled to acquire 694.37 acres of land from Yiyang’s Government, amid the provincial land use quota, at 73%-100% of standard commercial and residential land price of the land lot location. Owing to the fact that the standard land price is lower than market price, the expected land acquisition right has a land premium. As of Valuation Date, the company has 589.55 acres expected land acquisition right premium yet to exercise.
The basic methodology of market comparison approach is that: the principle of choice should be based on comparable cases such as consistent use, normal transaction, regional features and individual conditions, and choose more than three comparable cases similar to the valuation subjects, then integrate with the on-site inspection information from appraisal staff. And more than three comparative and corrective prices would be obtained after conducting modifications on the transactions, transaction dates, regional factors and individual factors and take the average price as its appraised market price.
Seven transaction cases are selected for this valuation, hence the assessed market price of the valuation subject = (comparative and corrective price 1 + comparative and corrective price 2+....+ comparative and corrective price 7)/7
The assessed premium of valuation subjects = appraised market price of valuation subject * floor area – total land cost of valuation subject
The valuation subjects are the commercial-residential lands of the 589.55 acres expect to be provided by Yiyang Municipal People’s Government. The expected land is situate at Carrianna Civic Plaza, eco-tourism zone and its surrounding land and is of grade two lands. Its proportion of commercial-residential land was approximately 1:5.42. The commercial grade two benchmark land price was RMB1,890/m[2] , and residential benchmark land price of RMB917/m[2] . Of which: 550.14 acres were acquired based on the 73% of the benchmark land price agreed with the government. As measured by the proportion of commercial-residential lands, the land prices for 85.65 acres of commercial land and 464.49 acres of residential land were RMB107.91 million and RMB283.95 million respectively, amounted to RMB391.86 million in total. The acquisition price was 39,186 × 73% = RMB286.05 million; and lands of 39.41 acres were acquired based on the benchmark land price agreed with the government. As measured by the proportion of commercial-residential lands, the land prices for 6.13 acres of commercial lands and 33.28 acres of residential lands were RMB7.72 million and RMB20.34 million respectively, a total of RMB28.06 million.
– 116 –
VALUATION REPORT ON THE SALE EQUITY
APPENDIX V
The total amount of the above valuation subjects were 589.44 acres with total price of RMB314.11 million for commercial-residential lands. In addition, the relocation compensation for the lands stated in the agreement was RMB88,000/acre, with total amount of RMB52.47 million. Therefore, total acquisition costs of 589.55 acres for commercial-residential lands were approximately RMB366.00 million.
The appraisal staff collected seven relevant commercial-residential lands comparable cases in the urban district of Yiyangt during 2016-2017. Of which, specifically speaking, the 2016 (Listing) Zi-No.13 located in the south of Taohua Lunlu with 1,665.1 m[2] for commercial and residential use, and its initial listing price was RMB4.2 million; 2017 (Auction) Zi-No. 01 located in the east of Longzhou South Road with 17,260.75 m[2] for commercial and residential use, and its initial listing price was RMB36.98 million; 2017(Auction) Zi-No.06 located in Wuyi East Road, Ziyang district with 13,990.68 m[2] for commercial and residential use, and its initial listing price was RMB30.22 million; 2017(Auction) Zi-No. 07 located in Wenchang Road, Changchun Industrial Park, with 28,577.2 m[2] for commercial and residential use, and its initial listing price was RMB47.16 million; 2016 (Listing) Zi-No. C18 located in the north of West Yiyang Avenue West 39,293.61 m[2] for commercial and residential use, and its initial listing price was RMB54.82 million; 2016 (Listing) Zi-No. C20 located in West Yiyang Avenue with 26,475.66 m[2] for commercial and residential use, and its initial listing price was RMB37.75 million. The total land area for the above seven cases was 127,263 m[2] with a total listing price of RMB211.13 million. The average listing price for comprehensive commercial-residential lands in urban areas was approximately RMB1,659/m[2] . The location of appraised commercial-residential lands of 589.55 acres was at the verge of the urban Carrianna Plaza. Its location is similar to the comparable cases and could be calculated as 1,659 × 589.55 acres × 666.67 = RMB652.00 million on the basis of average listing price during 2016-2017. Thus, the valuation premium of valuation subjects = assessed market price of valuation subjects × floor area – total land costs of valuation subjects = RMB652.00 million – RMB366.00 million = RMB286.00 million.
Market value of the above three types of land has a total of RMB687,500,000.
- B. Market approach is adopted for commercial building and residential building valuation. According to the investigation of the surrounding market of the valuation subject, the information for market value is collected. The external sales value of the Company’s assets can be evaluated based on market value.

In addition, through studying the ageing analysis and the particulars of receivables of enterprise, we have studied the interests of assets arising therefrom and the feasibility of collection. Specifically speaking, following the above procedures, the receivables were recognized on an individual basis. On such basis, for other unrecognizable losses from bad debts, we identify the potential bad debt loss and confirm the final valuation based on the practical conditions of the enterprise. The approved carrying amount will be regarded as the appraised value if there is no bad debt in the current account upon verification.

The full replacement cost comprises the purchase price of vehicle in the market on valuation date, the purchase charge of vehicle, licensing fee etc.
Below is the calculation standard of each expense item within the full replacement costs:
Firstly: Determination of the purchase price of facilities and equipment
- A. For each kind of standard equipment, we obtained the brand new current market prices of equipment of the same or similar quality and function with the valuation subject through identifying the price in various quotation handbooks and enquire equipment manufacturer and distributor in terms of usage, function, key technical parameter indicator of equipment. On such basis, we determined the purchase price of the equipment after making amendment by taking into account the price differentiation due to functional differences and the difference between quotation and actual transaction price. For equipment that has been put out of use for years and no longer produced, its purchase price will be determined according to the adjusted reference price of alternative or similar equipment.

APPENDIX V
- B. For non-standard equipment in which its price could not be identified, its manufacturing charge will be calculated according to the information including equipment drawing, technical requirements and manufacturing contract provided by the Principal, with reference to the current labour cost, material cost and mechanical shift costs, and applying the norm of the relevant equipment production and expenses.
For electronic equipment, the price is determined by the latest market transaction price in local electronic market on valuation date. The purchase price of transportation equipment is determined using the latest market price and transaction price in local automobiles market on valuation date.
Secondly: Determination of transportation fee
The transportation fee item of equipment includes the loading and unloading, transportation fee, purchase and custody expenses of equipment incurred from manufacturer to the place of such project. The following formula is adopted to determine the transportation and sundry fees of equipment: transportation and sundry fee of equipment = purchase price of equipment x transportation and sundry fee rate, which is determined based on the reference rate of transportation and sundry fee provided in the Commonly Used Data and Coefficient Handbook in Assets Valuation, and integrated with the actual situation of enterprise contract.
Thirdly: Determination of installation and tuning fee
The installation and tuning fee of equipment include all the expenses incurred from a series of operations including assembling, positioning, connection fixation, inspection and testing after delivering to the construction site and until in usable conditions.

2 Determination of equipment depreciation rate
The integrated depreciation rate was determined pursuant to the relevant policies including the economic technology and finance and taxation of the government, on the basis of investigation and verification of useful life of various machines and equipment, actual technical conditions, original manufacturing quality and service condition of equipment mastered from the on-site investigation, and combination with the factors such as industrial characteristics and related functional depreciation and economic depreciation.
Specific determination is as follows:
For facilities and equipment
For general equipment, its integrated depreciation rate was determined according to the working place of equipment, existing technical condition and its economic life.
Determination of office electronic equipment and instrument
For office electronic equipment and instrument, the integrated depreciation rate is determined by adopting the straight line method, through an on-site inspection of the condition of office electronic equipment.
Determination of integrated depreciation rate of vehicle
In accordance with the provisions of ‘‘Standards on the Elimination of Outdated Automobiles’’ and ‘‘Circular on Adjusting the Standards on the Elimination of Outdated Automobiles’’ of relevant state ministries and commissions, straight-line method and the miles driven are both adopted and included respectively in the calculation of theoretical depreciation rate, the latter is determined by whichever the lower. The depreciation rate is appraised pursuant to the technical performance of the vehicle, which is determined by various standards, such as the outlook and the structure of the vehicle as examined in an on-site inspection (whether there are damages or not), the operation of the main engine and circuits (whether they work normally or not), the function of the brakes (whether they are reliable or not), and the emission standard of greenhouse gas (whether it meets the standard or not). Finally, the integrated depreciation rate is determined in accordance with theoretical depreciation rate and on-site inspection depreciation rate.
– 122 –
VALUATION REPORT ON THE SALE EQUITY
APPENDIX V
The depreciation rate is calculated using the straight-line method = Remaining useful life/(Life used + Remaining useful life) × 100%
The depreciation rate is calculated using the mileage driven method = Remaining mileage available/(Mileage driven + Remaining mileage × 100%
The formula for equipment integrated depreciation rate is as follows:
η=η[1] × 40% + η[2] × 60%
where: η[1] : theoretical depreciation rate
η[2] : on-site inspection depreciation rate
η: integrated depreciation rate
The theoretical depreciation rate set out in the formula is determined by the economic useful life and used life of such equipment. The detailed formula is as follows:
Theoretical depreciation rate = (economic useful life – used life)/ economic useful life × 100% (as for vehicles, the lower of travelled distance depreciation rate and useful life depreciation rate should be adopted)
On-site inspection depreciation rate: In on-site inspection, our appraisal staff carries out on-site observation to find out the technical performance of the equipment by enquiring the operators. In accordance with the result of on-site equipment inspection and with reference to the used life, actual technical condition, loading level and the original production quality of the equipment, the depreciation rate of the equipment is estimated by comprehensive analysis.
Equipment with extended service determines its integrated depreciation rate by on-site inspection depreciation rate. If it could serve its function, its depreciation rate will not be less than 15%.

VALUATION REPORT ON THE SALE EQUITY
APPENDIX V
For discarded equipment, its recovery of residual value is determined by its specific structural materials and after deducting reasonable handling fees from its actual realistic value. Electrical equipment is determined by having zero value. The appraised value of vehicles should be directly determined by scrap costs under the market approach according to regulations of local traffic management department.
- 3 Calculation of the Appraised Value
Appraised Value = full replacement cost × integrated depreciation rate.
- Valuation of Liabilities:
For the valuation of various items of liabilities, including accounts payable, receipts in advance, other payables, salaries payable, dividends payable, tax payables and long-term loan, the appraised value is determined by verified carrying amounts or its actual liabilities payable after examining and verifying the carrying amounts and with banks in accordance with the breakdown provided by the enterprise.

-
(ii) This report is compiled based on the economic behaviour documents, business licenses, property ownership documents, financial statements, accounting vouchers, assets breakdown and other relevant information concerning this valuation and supplied by the Principal and the appraised entity. The Principal, the appraised entity and relevant stakeholders are responsible for the authenticity, legality and integrity of the original valuation information supplied in relation to the abovementioned valuation. We have conducted independent inspection of the information such as economic behaviour documents, business licenses, property ownership documents and accounting vouchers provided by the Principal and the appraised entity, but we are not responsible for the authenticity of the aforementioned information.
-

-
(v) It is the registered asset valuer’s responsibility to give professional opinions on the valuation of the valuation subject in accordance with the laws, regulations and assets valuation standards. The Principal and the related parties are responsible for the authenticity, legality and integrity of the materials provided, and the proper use of the valuation report.
