Based on the current market status and the Group’s working capital forecast up to 31 December 2013, the Group will have sufficient funds from the proceeds of pre-sale/sale of the currently developed projects to pay the liabilities when they fall due. Therefore, the Directors are of the view that the Acquisition will not have any significant negative impact on the Group’s operations and liquidity.

According to the unaudited consolidated statements of the Group as at 30 June 2012, the Group had assets and liabilities of approximately RMB42,818.5 million and RMB34,653.4 million, respectively. Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix V to this circular, assuming that the completion of the Acquisition has taken place on 30 June 2012, the unaudited consolidated pro forma assets of the Enlarged Group would be approximately RMB62,730.0 million, and the liabilities of the Enlarged Group would be approximately RMB52,313.8 million. Taking into account of the prospect and the property projects of the Target Companies, the Directors are of the view that the Acquisition will likely have a positive impact on the future financial performance of the Enlarged Group.

The pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group has been prepared for illustrative purpose only, based on the judgements and assumptions of the Directors, and, due to its hypothetical nature, it may not give a true picture of the financial position of the Enlarged Group as at the date of completion of the Acquisition or any future date.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Connected and Major Transactions

As stated in the Company’s announcement dated 5 January 2012, Sunac Zhidi entered into an equity transfer agreement on 5 January 2012 with Greentown Real Estate for the acquisition of 51% equity interest in Hubin Real Estate. As the aforesaid transaction was entered into within the preceding 12 month period, it would be required to be aggregated with the Transactions pursuant to Rules 14.22 and 14A.25 of the Listing Rules. Since some of the relevant Percentage Ratios (after aggregating with the previous transaction) are more than 25% but all of them are less than 100%, the Transactions constitute major transactions of the Company under the Listing Rules. As Greentown Real Estate is a connected person of the Company, the Transactions also constitute connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and are subject to the approval by the Independent Shareholders in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules.

We consider that we have reviewed sufficient information currently available to reach an informed view and to justify our reliance on the accuracy of the information contained in the Circular so as to provide a reasonable basis for our recommendation. We have not, however, carried out any independent verification of the information, nor have we conducted any form of in-depth investigation into the business, affairs, operations, financial position or future prospects of the Company or any of its respective subsidiaries and associates.

PRINCIPAL FACTOR AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our recommendation in respect of the Transactions, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons:

1. Background of and reasons for entering into of the Transactions

1.1 Background and financial information of the Group

The Group is principally engaged in the development and sale of high-end and high quality properties in key economic cities across the PRC. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has developed or is developing high-end and high-quality property projects in four key economic regions across the PRC, namely Beijing, Tianjin, Chongqing and South Jiangsu.

According to the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2011 (the “2011 Annual Report”), despite the stringent control policy imposed by the PRC government on the real estate industry, the Company achieved its sales target in a tough environment and recorded a contractual sales of approximately RMB19.2 billion, representing an increase of 130.5% as compared with the corresponding period of 2010. As disclosed in the 2011 Annual Report, revenue of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2011 amounted to approximately RMB10,604.0 million, represents an increase of 59.4% as compared with the corresponding

LETTER FROM QUAM CAPITAL

period of 2010, which was mainly derived from sales of properties, property-management service income and rental income from investment properties. The net profit of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2011 increased 54.6% to RMB2,383.1 million against RMB1,541.0 million in 2010. As at 31 December 2011, the audited consolidated net assets and total borrowings of the Group amounted to approximately RMB7,405.7 million and approximately RMB11,574.6 million respectively.

According to the 2011 Annual Report, the Board believe that the PRC government will continue to enforce its real estate adjustment measures in 2012, thus the sales and financing environment for the property sector will remain the same as 2011. The Company will consider prudently entering into Shanghai market in order to seek optimization of resources allocation, strives to strengthen its position on the market and lays a solid foundation for its sustainable and steady development.

1.2 Reasons for entering into of the Transactions

On 22 June 2012, Sunac Zhidi (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) enter into the Framework Agreement with Greentown Real Estate (an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Greentown China) pursuant to which (1) Sunac Zhidi conditionally agreed to acquire, and Greentown Real Estate conditionally agreed to dispose of, an effective 50% interest in Equity Interests 1 to 8 by way of (i) the establishment of the JV Company to be owned as to 50% by Sunac Zhidi and 50% by Greentown Real Estate; and (ii) the acquisition of Equity Interests 1 to 8 by the JV Company from Greentown Real Estate; and (2) upon formation of the JV Company, Sunac Zhidi conditionally agreed to acquire, and Greentown Real Estate conditionally agreed to dispose of, an effective 50% interest in Target Company No. 9.

Save for Target Company No. 6, Target Company No. 7 and Target Company No. 9 which would be accounted for as associated companies of the Company, all the other six Target Companies and the JV Company would be accounted for as subsidiaries of the Company upon completion of the Transactions.

As stated in the Letter from the Board, both the Company and Greentown China are reputed enterprises focusing on developing high-end properties, and based on their optimistic consensus on the future of PRC real estate industry and the regional development of Yangtze River Delta of which Shanghai is the heart, both parties decided to establish this platform for the development of high-end real estate for the two parties. The Directors believe that with the well-complemented strengths and joint efforts of the two parties, this platform is destined to have a sustainable and steady growth.

Through the cooperation, the Company will make greater efforts in cultivating the existing four dynamic economic zones which it has carefully chosen, i.e. Beijing, Tianjin, Chongqing and South Jiangsu, so as to consolidate its leadership in the South Jiangsu area and strategically penetrate Shanghai, and then finalize its strategic layout in Yangtze River Delta. The cooperation will be a crucial strategic move of the Company and will ensure its sustainable and steady development. The Directors consider the terms of the Transactions are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Revenue of the Target Company 9 is mainly derived from sales of properties. Despite of the lower level of revenue for 2010 and 2011 when compare to that of 2009, the net profit of Target Company 9 increased from approximately RMB113.7 million to approximately RMB170.3 million in 2011. Such increase is mainly attributable to the fluctuation of the interest income on loans to related parties during the review period due to the change of amount due from related parties resulting from the fluctuation of the proceeds from presale and bank borrowings during the review period. The finance cost of Target Company 9 was approximately RMB7.6 million, RMB131.5 million, RMB65.6 million, RMB53.1 million and RMB13.2 million for each of the three years ended 31 December 2011 and the six months ended 30 June 2011 and 2012.

As shown in the valuation report, the value of the completed properties to be acquired by the Group for sale in the PRC account for only approximately 9.0% of the total value of the properties to be acquired by the Group, the remaining properties are either under development or for future development.

In view that the completion rate of the properties is relatively low, it is expected that there is potential for development of the Target Companies.

Analysis on the major terms of the Framework Agreement

Formation of the JV Company

As disclosed in the Letter from the Board, the Directors are of the view that the formation of the JV Company can provide a platform to the Company and Greentown China for the development of high-end real estate. With the well complemented strengths and joint efforts of the two parties, this platform is destined to have a sustainable and steady growth. In addition, the cooperation represents a crucial strategic move of the Company and would ensure its sustainable and steady development.

As advised by the management of the Company, the JV Company was incorporated in the PRC on 9 August 2012 as a limited liability company. The name of the JV Company has been ultimately approved to be 上海融創綠城房地產開發有限公司 (Shanghai Sunac Greentown Real Estate Development Co. Ltd.*). The capital contributed by Sunac Zhidi and Greentown Real Estate amounted to RMB200 million and RMB200 million respectively as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The JV Company is owned by Sunac Zhidi and Greentown Real Estate in equal shares. Sunac Zhidi will have control over the board of the JV Company. Upon completion of the Transactions, the JV Company will be accounted for as a subsidiary of the Company as Sunac Zhidi has control in the JV Company.

Having considered that (i) the interest to be obtained by Sunac Zhidi in the JV Company is proportionate to its capital contribution in the JV Company; and (ii) Sunac Zhidi has control over the board of the JV Company as three out of the five directors in the board of the JV Company will be nominated by Sunac Zhidi, we concur with the Directors and are of the view that the formation of the JV Company is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM QUAM CAPITAL

The consideration

As mentioned above, the consideration for the Transactions shall be subject to adjustment. Based on the information provided by the Company, we noted that (i) the total capital contributed by Greentown Real Estate in the Target Companies amounted to RMB2,257,405,000; (ii) outstanding shareholders’ loans owing by the Target Companies to Greentown Real Estate amounted to RMB2,790,114,770.93; (iii) interest accrued on the aforesaid shareholders’ loans up to 30 June 2012 amounted to RMB426,922,117.77; and (iv) profits of certain Target Companies attributable to Greentown Real Estate as agreed between the parties to the Framework Agreement for the period up to 30 June 2012 amounted to RMB1,241,430,513.69. The total entitlements of Greentown Real Estate in the Target Companies No. 1 to 9 amounted to approximately RMB6,715,872,402.38. Therefore, 50% of Greentown Real Estate’s total entitlements would be approximately RMB3,357,936,201.19. As confirmed by the Company, the consideration for the Transactions will be adjusted downward to RMB3,357,936,201.19.

Pursuant to the supplemental agreement to the Framework Agreement, dated 9 August 2012, entered between Greentown Real Estate and Sunac Zhidi, Greentown Real Estate agreed to transfer 50% of the outstanding shareholders loan and interest accrued on such loan of approximately RMB1,608.5 million to Sunac Zhidi. As advised by the management of the Company, the outstanding shareholders loan is applied for the construction of the property projects of the Target Companies, which is repayable on demand and thus is considered to be liability nature. The Consideration net off the monetary value of the outstanding shareholders’ loans and the interest accrued on such loan of approximately RMB1,608.5 million amounted to approximately RMB1,749.4 million (the “Adjusted Consideration”).

In analyzing the reasonableness of the consideration for the Transactions, we have considered, among other things, comparing the consideration with the fair value of the underlying properties held by the Target Companies. As stated in the valuation report for the properties held by the Target Companies (the “Valuation Report”) prepared and issued by DTZ Debenham Tie Leung Limited (“DTZ”) contained in appendix VI to the Circular, the properties of the Target Companies are classified into three groups, (i) completed properties to be acquired by the Group for sale in the PRC (“Group I”); (ii) properties to be acquired by the Group under development in the PRC (“Group II”); and (iii) properties to be acquired by the Group for future development in the PRC (“Group III”). We have discussed with DTZ on the basis and assumption and methods of preparing the Valuation Report. Based on our discussion with DTZ, we consider that the methodology applied by them is in line with market practice and the underlying basis and assumptions adopted in valuing the properties of the Target Companies are fair and reasonable. According to the Valuation Report, the total value of the properties held by the Target Companies attributable to the Group as at 31 July 2012 amounted to RMB8,241.7 million.

We also noted that the net asset values as at 30 June 2012 of the JV Company and Target Company 9, without taking into account the valuation surplus, were RMB1,689.7 million and RMB620.1 million, respectively. Assuming that the respective net asset values are adjusted with the valuation surplus, the net asset values of the JV Company and Target Company 9 as at 30 June 2012 would increase to RMB3,220.7 million and RMB1,301.7 million, respectively.

– 34 –

LETTER FROM QUAM CAPITAL

Having considered that (i) the Consideration was determined based on the proportionate entitlements of Greentown Real Estate in the Target Companies No. 1 to 9; (ii) the Consideration represents a discount to the fair value of the underlying properties held by the Target Companies attributable to the Group as at 31 July 2012 of approximately RMB8,241.7 million as appraised by DTZ; and (iii) the fact that the Adjusted Consideration of approximately RMB1,749.4 million represents a discount to 50% of the total adjusted net asset value of approximately RMB2,261.2 million (after taking into account the valuation surplus) of the JV Company and Target Company 9 as at 30 June 2012, we are of the view that the basis of the Consideration which takes into account, among others, the total capital contributed and profits of certain Target Companies attributable to Greentown Real Estate and the Consideration of the Transactions are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

Taking into account the discussion above, we concur with the Directors’ view that the Transactions were entered into on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

5. Financial effects of the Transactions

Net asset value

Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix V to the Circular and further advised by the Directors, taking into account the effects of the Transactions assuming completion had taken place on 30 June 2012, the net asset value of the Group as at 30 June 2012 amounted to approximately RMB8,165.1 million. Upon completion of the Transactions, the net asset value of the Enlarged Group would increase by approximately RMB2,251.0 million. Such increase is mainly due to the consolidation of the entire equity interest of the JV Company.

Earnings

Upon completion of the Transactions, the result of the JV Company will be consolidated into the financial statement of the Group. As stated above, the JV Company has recorded profit before and after tax of approximately RMB592.5 million and RMB242.3 million, respectively, for the six months ended 30 June 2012.

Working capital and gearing

As at 30 June 2012, the cash and cash equivalent balance of the Group amounted to approximately RMB2,640.5 million and the gearing ratio (defined as net debt divided by total capital) of the Group was approximately 48.5%. According to the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix V to the Circular, the shortfall of cash and cash equivalent balance of the Enlarged Group is approximately RMB512.9 million, whereas the gearing ratio of the Enlarged Group is approximately 63.3%. As advised by the

LETTER FROM QUAM CAPITAL

management of the Company, the future operation of the Target Companies (including the possible future capital contribution) will be mainly financed by the proceeds from pre-sales of properties developed by the Target Companies. As confirmed by the Directors, taking into account that the Consideration has been settled as at the Latest Practicable Date and the financial resources available to the Enlarged Group, the Directors are of the opinion that the Enlarged Group has sufficient working capital for at least the next 12 months from the date of the circular.

RECOMMENDATION

Having taken into account the above principal factors, we are of the opinion that the Transactions was entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business, on normal commercial terms and the terms of the Framework Agreement and the Transactions are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and the Transactions are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of Quam Capital Limited Gary Mui

REVIEW OF STUB PERIOD COMPARATIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

We have reviewed the stub period comparative financial information set out in Section I below included in Appendix I to the Circular which comprises the combined statement of comprehensive income, the combined statement of changes in equity and the combined cash flow statement of the JV Target Group for the six months ended 30 June 2011 and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (the “Stub Period Comparative Financial Information”).

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information in accordance with the basis of presentation set out in Note 1(c) of Section I below and the accounting policies set out in Note 2 of Section I below and the accounting policies adopted by the Group as set out in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2011.

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the HKICPA. A review of Stub Period Comparative Financial Information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information, for the purpose of this report and presented on the basis set out in Note 1(c) of Section I below, is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 2 of Section I below.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANIES NO. 1 TO NO. 8

APPENDIX II

(c) Basis of presentation

The Financial Information has been prepared to present the combined financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Shanghai Huazhe, Shanghai Lvshun, Suzhou Yuyuan, Suzhou Rose Garden, Wuxi Greentown and Tianjin Yijun which were controlled by Greentown Real Estate during the Relevant Periods and were managed together. Changzhou Greentown and Wuxi Taihu are also accounted for using the equity method of accounting as they were managed together by Greentown Real Estate with other companies comprising the JV Target Group.

The Financial Information has been presented on a combined basis, after excluding certain intercompany income and expenses. The financial information has been prepared to present the combined balance sheets, the combined statements of comprehensive income, the combined statements of changes in equity and the combined cash flow statements of the JV Target Group for the Relevant Periods or since the respective dates of incorporation of the Target Companies, or since the date when the companies comprising the JV Target Group first came under the control of Greentown Real Estate, whichever is a shorter period.

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

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these combined financial information are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years/periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

2.1 Basis of preparation

The combined financial statements of the JV Target Group have been prepared in accordance with the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (the “HKFRSs”). The combined financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the HKFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the JV Target Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the combined financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.

(a) Going concern

The JV Target Group meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through its pre-sale proceeds, bank facilities and other borrowings from third parties and related parties. The current economic conditions continue to create uncertainty particularly over (a) the level of demand for the JV Target Group’s property products; and (b) the availability of bank finance for the foreseeable future. The shareholders of the Joint Venture Company have confirmed their intention to provide continuing financial support to the Joint Venture Company so as to enable the Joint Venture Company to repay its liabilities as and when they fall due and to carry on its business without a significant curtailment of operations for the foreseeable future if necessary. During the period from 30 July 2012 to 30 September 2012, the JV Target Group has received additional cash investments of RMB550 million from Sunac Zhidi and Greentown Real Estate respectively, totaling RMB1.1 billion, of which RMB0.4 billion was capital contributions and RMB0.7 billion was shareholders’ loans from Sunac Zhidi and Greentown Real Estate in proportion of their respective equity interests.

The JV Target Group’s forecasts and projections, taking into account the shareholders’ financial supporting and reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the JV Target Group should be able to operate within the level of its current facilities. After making enquiries, the directors of the Company and Greentown Real Estate have a reasonable expectation that the JV Target Group had adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The JV Target Group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its combined financial statements. Further information on the JV Target Group’s borrowings is given in Note 14 in this section.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANIES NO. 1 TO NO. 8

APPENDIX II

  • (b) New standards, amendments and interpretations which have been issued and are not yet effective have not been early adopted by the JV Target Group.

Up to the date of this report, the HKICPA has issued the following new standards, amendments and interpretations which are relevant to the JV Target Group’s operation but not yet effective for the annual accounting period beginning 1 January 2012 and which have not been early adopted by the JV Target Group:

  • HKAS 1 (Amendment) Presentation of financial statements (effective on or after 1 July 2012)

  • − The main change resulting from these amendments is a requirement for entities to group items presented in ‘other comprehensive income’ (OCI) on the basis of whether they are potentially reclassifiable to profit or loss subsequently (reclassification adjustments). The amendments do not address which items are presented in OCI.

  • HKFRS 7 (Amendment) Disclosures – Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities (effective on or after 1 January 2013)

  • − The amendments also require new disclosure requirements which focus on quantitative information about recognised financial instruments that are offset in the statement of financial position, as well as those recognised financial instruments that are subject to master netting or similar arrangements irrespective of whether they are offset.

  • HKFRS 10 Consolidated financial statements (effective on or after 1 January 2013)

  • − The objective of IFRS/HKFRS 10 is to establish principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated financial statements when an entity controls one or more other entity (an entity that controls one or more other entities) to present consolidated financial statements. Defines the principle of control, and establishes controls as the basis for consolidation. Set out how to apply the principle of control to identify whether an investor controls an investee and therefore must consolidate the investee. It also sets out the accounting requirements for the preparation of consolidated financial statements.

  • HKFRS 11 Joint arrangements (effective on or after 1 January 2013)

  • − HKFRS 11 is a more realistic reflection of joint arrangements by focusing on the rights and obligations of the arrangement rather than its legal form. There are two types of joint arrangement: joint operations and joint ventures. Joint operations arise where a joint operator has rights to the assets and obligations relating to the arrangement and hence accounts for its interest in assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Joint ventures arise where the joint operator has rights to the net assets of the arrangement and hence equity accounts for its interest. Proportional consolidation of joint ventures is no longer allowed.

– II-12 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANIES NO. 1 TO NO. 8

APPENDIX II

HKFRS 12

Disclosure of interests in other entities

  • (effective on or after 1 January 2013)

  • HKFRS 12 includes the disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including joint arrangements, associates, special purpose vehicles and other off balance sheet vehicles

  • HKAS 27 (2011) Separate financial statements (effective on or after 1 January 2013)

  • − HKAS 27 (revised 2011) includes financial statements that are left of HKAS 27 have been included

  • HKAS 28 (2011) Associates and joint ventures (effective on or after 1 January 2013)

  • HKAS 27 (revised 2011) includes the provisions on separate financial statements that are left after the control provisions of HKAS 27 have been included in the new HKFRS 10.

  • HKAS 28 (revised 2011) includes the requirements for joint ventures, as well as associates, to be equity accounted following the issue of HKFRS 11.

  • HKFRS 13 Fair value measurements (effective on or after 1 January 2013)

  • − HKFRS 13 aims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across HKFRSs. The requirements, which are largely aligned between HKFRSs and US GAAP, do not extend the use of fair value accounting but provide guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within HKFRSs or US GAAP.

  • HKAS 19 (Amendment) Employee benefits (effective on or after 1 January 2013)

  • − These amendments eliminate the corridor approach and calculate finance costs on a net funding basis.

  • HKAS 32 (Amendment) Financial instruments: Presentation – Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities (effective on or after 1 January 2014)

  • The amendments clarify the requirements for offsetting financial instruments on the balance sheet: (i) The meaning of ‘currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off’; and

  • (ii) that some gross settlement systems may be considered equivalents to net settlement.

– II-13 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANIES NO. 1 TO NO. 8

APPENDIX II

HKFRS 9

Financial instruments

(effective on or after 1 January 2015)

  • HKFRS 9 is the first standard issued as part of a wider project to replace HKAS 39. HKFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes two primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost and fair value. The basis of classification depends on the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. The guidance in HKAS 39 on impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting continues to apply.

HKFRS 7 and HKFRS 9 Mandatory effective date and transition disclosures (Amendments) (effective on or after 1 January 2015)

  • HKFRS 7 and HKFRS 9 (Amendments) “Mandatory effective date and transition disclosures” delay the effective date to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015, and also modify the relief from restating prior periods. As part of this relief, additional disclosures on transition from HKAS 39 to HKFRS 9 are required.

The JV Target Group is in the process of making an assessment of the impact of these standards, amendments and interpretations on the Financial information of the JV Target Group upon their initial application.

2.2 Subsidiaries

2.2.1 Consolidation

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the management team of the JV Target Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the management team of the JV Target Group controls another entity. The management team of the JV Target Group also assesses existence of control where it does not have more than 50% of the voting power but is able to govern the financial and operating policies by virtue of de-facto control. De-facto control may arise from circumstances such as enhanced minority rights or contractual terms between shareholders, etc.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the management team of the JV Target Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses on transactions between JV Target Group companies are eliminated. Profits and losses resulting from inter-company transactions that are recognized in assets are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the JV Target Group.

  • (a) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control

Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions – that is, as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.

– II-14 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANIES NO. 1 TO NO. 8

APPENDIX II

2.2.2 Separate financial statements

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment. Cost also includes direct attributable costs of investment. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the company on the basis of dividend and receivable.

Impairment testing of the investments in subsidiaries is required upon receiving dividends from these investments if the dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of the subsidiary in the period the dividend is declared or if the carrying amount of the investment in the separate financial statements exceeds the carrying amount in the consolidated financial statements of the investee’s net assets including goodwill.

2.3 Associates

Associates are all entities over which the management team of the JV Target Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognised at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the investor’s share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. The JV Target Group’s investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition.

If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.

The JV Target Group’s share of post-acquisition profit or loss is recognised in the income statement, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment. When the JV Target Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the JV Target Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

The management team of the JV Target Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired. If this is the case, the JV Target Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognises the amount adjacent to ‘share of profit/(loss) of an associate’ in the income statement.

Profits and losses resulting from upstream and downstream transactions between the JV Target Group and its associate are recognised in the group’s financial statements only to the extent of unrelated investor’s interests in the associates. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless the transactions provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the JV Target Group.

Dilution gains and losses arising in investments in associates are recognised in the income statement.

2.4 Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the executive directors, that makes strategic decisions.

2.5 Foreign currency translation

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the JV Target Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). Since the majority of the assets and operations of the JV Target Group are located in the PRC, the combined financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is the JV Target Group’s presentation currency.

– II-15 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANIES NO. 1 TO NO. 8

APPENDIX II

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the consolidated income statement, except when deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the income statement within “finance income or cost”. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the income statement within “other (losses)/gains – net”.

2.6 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation and any impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the JV Target Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the year in which they are incurred.

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Vehicles 5 years Furniture and office equipment 5 years

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Construction in progress represents the direct costs of construction incurred of property, plant and equipment less any impairment losses. No provision for depreciation is made on construction in progress until such time the relevant assets are completed and put into use. Construction in progress is reclassified to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for use.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised within “Other gains/(losses),net” in the profit or loss.

2.7 Land use rights

All land in the PRC is state-owned and no individual land ownership right exists. The JV Target Group acquired the rights to use certain land and the premiums paid for such rights are recorded as land use rights.

Land use rights which are held for self-use are stated at cost and amortised over the use terms of 50 to 70 years using the straight-line method. Land use rights which are used for property development for sales are transferred to properties under development upon commencement of development and are measured at lower of cost and net realisable value.

2.8 Properties under development

Properties under development are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value takes into account the price ultimately expected to be realised, less applicable variable selling expenses and anticipated cost to completion.

Development cost of property comprises construction costs, land use rights cost, capitalised borrowing costs and professional fees incurred during the development period. On completion, the properties are transferred to completed properties held for sale.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANIES NO. 1 TO NO. 8

APPENDIX II

2.9 Completed properties held for sale

Completed properties remaining unsold as at the balance sheet dates are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Cost comprises development costs attributable to the unsold properties.

Net realisable value is determined by reference to the sale proceeds of properties sold in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses, or by management estimates based on prevailing marketing conditions.

2.10 Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for properties sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection of trade and other receivables is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.

Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

2.11 Restricted cash

Restricted cash includes guarantee deposits for the JV Target Group’s bank loans and certain proceeds from pre-sale of properties according to the governmental regulations. For the guarantee deposits for bank loans, the restrictions are released when the JV Target Group repays the bank loans. For the restricted cash proceeds from pre-sale of properties, restrictions are to be released gradually in line with the progress of the properties’ development.

2.12 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturity of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet. Bank deposits which are restricted to use are not included in cash and cash equivalents.

2.13 Paid up capital

Capital paid up by the shareholders is classified as equity.

2.14 Trade and other payables

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.15 Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transactions costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transactions costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the year of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the JV Target Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the respective balance sheet date.

Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalised during the year of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the year in which they are incurred.

– II-17 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANIES NO. 1 TO NO. 8

APPENDIX II

Borrowing is derecognised when, and only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

2.16 Current and deferred income tax

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transactions other than a business combination that at the time of the transactions affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

2.17 Employee benefits

In accordance with the rules and regulations in the PRC, the PRC based employees of the JV Target Group participate in various defined contribution retirement benefit plans organised by the relevant municipal and provincial governments in the PRC under which the JV Target Group and the PRC based employees are required to make monthly contributions to these plans calculated as a percentage of the employees’ salaries.

The municipal and provincial governments undertake to assume the retirement benefit obligations of all existing and future retired PRC based employees’ payable under the plans described above. Other than the monthly contributions, the JV Target Group has no further obligation for the payment of retirement and other post retirement benefits of its employees. The assets of these plans are held separately from those of the JV Target Group in independently administrated funds managed by the governments.

2.18 Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions for environmental restoration, restructuring costs and legal claims are recognised when: the JV Target Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the management team of the JV Target Group. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised because it is not probable that outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably.

– II-18 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANIES NO. 1 TO NO. 8

APPENDIX II

A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that outflow is probable, it will then be recognised as a provision.

2.19 Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sales of properties and services in the ordinary course of the JV Target Group’s activities. Revenue is shown, net of discount and after eliminating sales within the JV Target Group. Revenue is recognised as follows:

(a) Sales of properties

Revenue from sales of properties is recognised when the risks and rewards of properties are transferred to the purchasers, which is when the construction of relevant properties has been completed and the properties have been delivered to the purchasers and recoverability of related receivables is reasonably assured. Deposits and instalments received on properties sold prior to the date of revenue recognition are included in the consolidated balance sheets as advanced proceeds received from customers under current liabilities.

(b) Interest income

Interest income on bank deposits is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account deposit balances and effective yield using the effective interest method. Interest income is reflected as finance income in the profit or loss.

2.20 Government grants

Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the JV Target Group will comply with all attached conditions.

Government grants relating to property, plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities as deferred government grants and are credited to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets.

2.21 Leases

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the year of the lease.

(a) The JV Target Group is the lessee

Payment made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor), are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the year of the lease.

2.22 Financial guarantee liabilities

Financial guarantee liabilities are recognised initially at fair value. After initial recognition, such contracts are measured at the higher of the present value of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation and the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation.

Financial guarantee liabilities are derecognised from the balance sheet when, and only when, the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expired.

3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

3.1 Financial risk factors

The JV Target Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The JV Target Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the JV Target Group’s financial performance.

Risk management is carried out by the central treasury department (“Group treasury”) of Greentown Real Estate under policies approved by the board of directors. JV Target Group treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the operating units. The board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.

(a) Market risk

(i) Foreign exchange risk

The JV Target Group’s normal operating activities are principally conducted in RMB since all of the operating entities are based in the PRC and most of the operating entities’ assets and liabilities were denominated in RMB. Therefore, the foreign exchange risk is low.

(ii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

As the JV Target Group has no significant interest-bearing assets, the JV Target Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent from changes in market interest rates.

The JV Target Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the JV Target Group to cash flow interest-rate risk which is partially offset by cash held at variable rates. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the JV Target Group to fair value interest-rate risk. During the Relevant Periods, the JV Target Group’s borrowings were all denominated in Renminbi.

The JV Target Group has not used any interest rate swaps to hedge its exposure to interest rate risk.

The table below sets out the JV Target Group’s exposure to interest rate risks. Included in the tables are the liabilities at carrying amounts, categorised by maturity dates.

RMB’million Floating rates Floating rates Floating rates Fixed rates Fixed rates Fixed rates Fixed rates Total

– II-20 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANIES NO. 1 TO NO. 8

APPENDIX II

As at 31 December 2009, 2010 and 2011 and 30 June 2012, if the interest rates on borrowings had been 100 basis points higher/lower with all other variables held constant, the capitalised interest would have been higher/lower by RMB12 million, RMB22 million, RMB38 million, and RMB24 million respectively.

The JV Target Group also analyses its interest rate exposure monthly by considering refinancing, renewal of existing positions and alternative financing.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk is managed on group basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash deposited with banks, other receivables due from related parties and third parties, notes receivables, as well as credit exposures to commercial customers who let space in our properties. Residential and commercial property sales are paid for through up-front cash transactions For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of ‘A’ are accepted. If there is no independent rating, risk control assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Sales to customers are settled in cash or using major credit cards.

With respect to banks, the larger State-owned banks in the PRC are mainly used for holding bank accounts in the JV Target Group.

Certain customers of the JV Target Group have arranged bank financing for their purchases of the properties. Certain entities of the JV Target Group have provided guarantees to secure obligations of such customers for repayments, normally up to the time when the customers obtain the legal certificates of the property ownership. Detailed disclosure of these guarantees is made in Note 26.

No credit limits were exceeded during the Relevant Periods, and management does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counterparties.

(c) Liquidity risk

Management of the JV Target Group aims to maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents or have available funding through an adequate amount of available financing, including short-term and long-term bank borrowings to meet its construction commitments.

Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the JV Target Group treasury maintains flexibility in funding by its ability to move cash and cash equivalents between different entities through entrusted loan arrangements.

Note: Trade and other payables in this analysis do not include advance proceeds from customers and the statutory liabilities including other taxes payables and payroll & welfare payables.

3.2 Capital risk management

In managing its capital risk, management considers capital to include paid up capital from equity holders and borrowings. The JV Target Group’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for equity holders.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the JV Target Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to equity holders, return capital to equity holders, or sell assets to reduce debt.

The JV Target Group actively and regularly reviews and manages its capital structure to ensure an optimal capital structure and equity holder returns, taking into consideration the future capital requirements of the JV Target Group and capital efficiency, project operating cash flows, projected capital expenditures and projected strategic investment opportunities.

Consistent with others in the industry, the JV Target Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including current and non-current borrowings as shown in the consolidated balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as ‘equity’ as shown in the consolidated balance sheet, plus net debt.

4 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The JV Target Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.

4.1 Construction costs estimation

In the JV Target Group, each project is divided into several phases according to the development and delivery plan. Cost of sales including construction costs specific to the phases and common costs allocable to the phases are calculated based on management best estimation of the total development costs for the whole project and the allocation to each phase at the time when the costs incurred.

4.2 Income taxes

The JV Target Group is subject to corporate income tax in the PRC. The JV Target Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such determination is made.

Deferred tax assets relating to certain temporary differences and tax losses are recognised when management considers to be probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences or tax losses can be utilised. The outcome of their actual utilisation may be different.

As disclosed in Note 8, the JV Target Group has deferred tax assets from (1) the deferred deductible expenses, which are the expenses without sufficient tax documents received as at the balance sheet dates, (2) tax losses at the entity level, and (3) unpaid land appreciation tax accrued in the cost of sales in the profit or loss, which is a timing difference between the accounting profit and tax calculation.

Based on the development costs budget and the sales pricing plan, the directors are of the view that the property projects of the JV Target Group will ultimately generate profits and the deferred tax assets on the unpaid land appreciation tax is a temporary difference. Therefore, management considers that the risk over the recoverability of the deferred tax assets could only be due to a challenge of the deductibility of the expenses currently classified as temporary differences that would result in their reclassification as permanent differences.

– II-23 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANIES NO. 1 TO NO. 8

APPENDIX II

4.3 PRC land appreciation taxes

The JV Target Group is subject to land appreciation taxes in the PRC. However, since the implementation and settlement of these taxes varies among various tax jurisdictions in cities of the PRC, significant judgement is required in determining the amount of the land appreciation and its related taxes. The JV Target Group recognised these land appreciation taxes based on management’s best estimates according to its understanding of the interpretation of tax rules by various tax authorities. The final tax outcome could be different from the amounts that were initially recorded, and these differences will impact the income taxes and deferred income tax provisions in the years in which such taxes have been finalised with local tax authorities.

4.4 Provision for properties under development and completed properties held for sale

The JV Target Group assesses the carrying amounts of properties under development and completed properties held for sale based on the net realisable value of these properties, taking into account costs to completion based on past experience and net sales value based on prevailing market conditions. Provision is made when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be realised. The assessment requires the use of judgment and estimates of future sale price of the properties. As at 31 December 2009, 2010 and 2011 and at 30 June 2012, if the estimated future sales prices had been 10% lower, the profit or loss before income tax of the JV Target Group for the Relevant Periods would have been lower by RMB0 million, RMB0 million, RMB126 million and RMB225 million.

In April 2009, Greentown Real Estate entered into an equity investment agreement with a third party trust investment company, pursuant to which, a trust fund scheme was to be established to finance the property development projects in certain Greentown Real Estate’s subsidiaries. Under this arrangement, the trust fund scheme has provided a total investment of RMB483 million to a subsidiary of the JV Target Group, Wuxi Greentown, in which RMB45.9 million was to acquire 45% equity interests of Wuxi Greentown by the trust company on behalf of the trust fund scheme from Greentown Real Estate and the remaining RMB437.1 million was a borrowing at annual interest rate of 14% to Wuxi Greentown. This borrowing has been fully repaid in January 2012.

In March 2011, another similar arrangement was made between Greentown Real Estate and another third party trust company on a total investment of RMB823.75 million in Suzhou Yuyuan, in which, RMB23.75 million was to acquire 9.5% equity interest of Suzhou Yuyuan and RMB800 million was a borrowing at annual interest rate of 9.8%. The borrowing has been repaid in October 2012.

According to the agreements between Greentown Real Estate and the trust companies on behalf of the trust fund schemes, Greentown Real Estate has the obligations to acquire back both equity interests at the same considerations at the end of the respective borrowing periods and the trust fund schemes do not bear any operating profit or loss during the borrowing periods. In substance, the above equity interests were legally transferred to the trust companies as collaterals. Therefore, the JV Target Group accounted for the respective total investments of RMB483 million and RMB823.75 million as borrowings.

As at 31 December 2009, 2010, 2011 and as at 30 June 2012, the JV Target Group’s borrowings totalling RMB1,883 million, RMB4,368 million, RMB5,172 million and RMB5,104 million respectively were secured or jointly secured by the JV Target Group’s properties under development and completed properties held for sale totalling RMB2,588 million, RMB7,472 million, RMB7,561 million and RMB7,775 million respectively, certain equity interests of the entities comprising the JV Target Group (including those legally transferred as collateral).

Guarantee on mortgage facilities

The JV Target Group had the following liabilities in respect of financial guarantees on mortgage facilities:

2009 2010 2011 2012
RMB’000 RMB’000 RMB’000 RMB’000
Guarantees in respect of mortgage
facilities for certain purchasers of
the JV Target Group’s property
units 168,149 339,736

The JV Target Group has provided guarantees for certain customers’ bank borrowings for their purchases of the JV Target Group’s developed properties to secure obligations of such customers for repayments. Such guarantees terminate upon the earlier of (i) the transfer of the real estate ownership certificate to the purchaser which will generally occur within an average period of two to three years from the completion of the guarantee registration; or (ii) the satisfaction of mortgage loans by the purchasers of the properties.

Pursuant to the terms of the guarantees, upon default of mortgage payments by these purchasers, the JV Target Group is responsible to repay the outstanding mortgage principal together with accrued interest and penalties owed by the defaulting purchasers to the banks and the JV Target Group is entitled to take over the legal title and possession of the related properties. The JV Target Group’s guarantee period starts from the date of grant of the mortgage. The directors consider that the likelihood of default of payments by purchasers is minimal and therefore the financial guarantee measured at fair value is immaterial.

30 October 2012

The Directors Sunac China Holdings Limited

Dear Sirs,

We report on the financial information of Shanghai Greentown Woods Golf Villas Development Co., Ltd. (the “Woods Golf”) and its subsidiary (together, the “Woods Golf Group”), which comprises the consolidated balance sheets of Woods Golf as at 31 December 2009, 2010 and 2011 and 30 June 2012, the balance sheets of Woods Golf as at 31 December 2009, 2010 and 2011 and 30 June 2012, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and the consolidated statements of cash flows of Woods Golf for each of the years ended 31 December 2009, 2010 and 2011 and the six-month period ended 30 June 2012 (the “Relevant Periods”) and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. This financial information has been prepared by the directors of Sunac China Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and is set out in Sections I to II below for inclusion in Appendix III to the circular of the Company dated 30 October 2012 (the “Circular”) in connection with the proposed acquisition of Woods Golf by the Company.

Woods Golf was incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) on 19 June 2002 as a company with limited liability.

As at the date of this report, Woods Golf has direct interest in the subsidiary as set out in Note 1 of Section I below.

The directors of Woods Golf have prepared the consolidated financial statements of Woods Golf for the Relevant Periods, in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”) (the “Underlying Financial Statements”). We have audited the Underlying Financial Statements in accordance with the Hong Kong Standards on Auditing (the “HKSA”) issued by the HKICPA pursuant to separate terms of engagement with the Company and Woods Golf.

The directors of Woods Golf are responsible for the preparation of the Underlying Financial Statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with HKFRSs, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the Underlying Financial Statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

– III-1 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY NO. 9

APPENDIX III

The financial information has been prepared based on the Underlying Financial Statements, with no adjustment made thereon.

DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with HKFRSs and accounting policies adopted by the Company and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) as set out in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2011.

REPORTING ACCOUNTANT’S RESPONSIBILITY

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial information and to report our opinion to you. We carried out our procedures in accordance with the Auditing Guideline 3.340 “Prospectuses and the Reporting Accountant” issued by the HKICPA.

OPINION

In our opinion, the financial information gives, for the purpose of this report, a true and fair view of the state of affairs of Woods Golf and of Woods Golf Group as at 31 December 2009, 2010 and 2011 and 30 June 2012 and of Woods Golf Group’s results and cash flows for the Relevant Periods then ended.

REVIEW OF STUB PERIOD COMPARATIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

We have reviewed the stub period comparative financial information set out in Section I below included in Appendix III to the Circular which comprises the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows of Woods Golf for the six months ended 30 June 2011 and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (the “Stub Period Comparative Financial Information”).

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 2 of Section I below and the accounting policies adopted by the Group as set out in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2011.

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the HKICPA. A review of Stub Period Comparative Financial Information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information, for the purpose of this report, is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 2 of Section I below.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1 GENERAL INFORMATION

(a) General information

The address of its registered office is No.2118 Guanghua Road, Minhang District, Shanghai, the PRC. Woods Golf is principally engaged in property development business in Shanghai, the PRC.

At the date of incorporation of Woods Golf, 綠城房地產集團有限公司 (Greentown Real Estate Group Co., Ltd.) (“Greentown Real Estate”) and Shanghai Lvyu Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Lvyu”) hold 51% and 49% equity interests of Woods Golf respectively.

On 15 October 2009, Greentown Real Estate acquired the 49% equity interest of Woods Golf from Shanghai Lvyu and Woods Golf became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Greentown Real Estate.

Woods Golf has one property project named Rose Garden which was located in Shanghai, the PRC and was developed from September 2004.

During the Relevant Periods, Woods Golf has only one subsidiary named Shanghai Greentown Rose Garden Resort Management Co., Ltd. (“Rose Garden Resort”), which was incorporated in Shanghai, the PRC on 1 August 2011. The principal activity of Rose Garden Resort is hotel management service in Shanghai, the PRC.

These financial statements are presented in thousands of units of Renminbi (“RMB’000”) unless otherwise

stated.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of Woods Golf are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

2.1 Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements of Woods Golf Group have been prepared in accordance with the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (the “HKFRSs”). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the HKFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying Woods Golf Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the combined financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY NO. 9

APPENDIX III

(a) New standards, amendments and interpretations which have been issued and are not yet effective have not been early adopted by Woods Golf Group.

Up to the date of issue if this report, the HKICPA has issued the following new standards, amendments and interpretations which are relevant to Woods Golf Group’s operation but not yet effective for the annual accounting period beginning 1 January 2012 and which have not been early adopted by Woods Golf Group:

HKAS 1 (Amendment) Presentation of financial statements Presentation of financial statements
(effective on or after 1 July 2012)
The main change resulting from these amendments is a
requirement for entities to group items presented in
‘other comprehensive income’ (OCI) on the basis of
whether they are potentially reclassifiable to profit or
loss subsequently (reclassification adjustments). The
amendments do not address which items are presented in
OCI.
HKFRS 7 (Amendment) Disclosures – Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities
(effective on or after 1 January 2013)
The amendments also require new disclosure
requirements which focus on quantitative information
about recognised financial instruments that are offset in
the statement of financial position, as well as those
recognised financial instruments that are subject to
master netting or similar arrangements irrespective of
whether they are offset.
HKFRS 10 Consolidated financial statements
(effective on or after 1 January 2013)
The objective of IFRS/HKFRS 10 is to establish
principles for the presentation and preparation of
consolidated financial statements when an entity controls
one or more other entity (an entity that controls one or
more other entities) to present consolidated financial
statements. Defines the principle of control, and
establishes controls as the basis for consolidation. Set out
how to apply the principle of control to identify whether
an investor controls an investee and therefore must
consolidate the investee. It also sets out the accounting
requirements for the preparation of consolidated financial
statements.
HKFRS 11 Joint arrangements
(effective on or after 1 January 2013)
HKFRS 11 is a more realistic reflection of joint
arrangements by focusing on the rights and obligations of
the arrangement rather than its legal form. There are two
types of joint arrangement: joint operations and joint
ventures. Joint operations arise where a joint operator
has rights to the assets and obligations relating to the
arrangement and hence accounts for its interest in assets,
liabilities, revenue and expenses. Joint ventures arise
where the joint operator has rights to the net assets of
the arrangement and hence equity accounts for its
interest. Proportional consolidation of joint ventures is no
longer allowed.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY NO. 9

APPENDIX III

HKFRS 12 Disclosure of interests in other entities Disclosure of interests in other entities
(effective on or after 1 January 2013)
HKFRS 12 includes the disclosure requirements for all
forms of interests in other entities, including joint
arrangements, associates, special purpose vehicles and
other off balance sheet vehicles
HKAS 27 (2011) Separate financial statements
(effective on or after 1 January 2013)
HKAS 27 (revised 2011) includes the provisions on
separate financial statements that are left after the control
provisions of HKAS 27 have been included in the new
HKFRS 10.
HKAS 28 (2011) Associates and joint ventures
(effective on or after 1 January 2013)
HKAS 28 (revised 2011) includes the requirements for
joint ventures, as well as associates, to be equity
accounted following the issue of HKFRS 11.
HKFRS 13 Fair value measurements
(effective on or after 1 January 2013)
HKFRS 13 aims to improve consistency and reduce
complexity by providing a precise definition of fair value
and a single source of fair value measurement and
disclosure requirements for use across HKFRSs. The
requirements, which are largely aligned between HKFRSs
and US GAAP, do not extend the use of fair value
accounting but provide guidance on how it should be
applied where its use is already required or permitted by
other standards within HKFRSs or US GAAP.
HKAS 19 (Amendment) Employee benefits
(effective on or after 1 January 2013)
These amendments eliminate the corridor approach and
calculate finance costs on a net funding basis.
HKAS 32 (Amendment) Financial instruments: Presentation – Offsetting financial assets
and financial liabilities
(effective on or after 1 January 2014)
The amendments clarify the requirements for offsetting
financial instruments on the balance sheet: (i) The
meaning of ‘currently has a legally enforceable right of
set-off’; and (ii) that some gross settlement systems may
be considered equivalents to net settlement.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY NO. 9

APPENDIX III

HKFRS 9

Financial instruments (effective on or after 1 January 2015) − HKFRS 9 is the first standard issued as part of a wider project to replace HKAS 39. HKFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes two primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost and fair value. The basis of classification depends on the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. The guidance in HKAS 39 on impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting continues to apply.

HKFRS 7 and HKFRS 9 Mandatory effective date and transition disclosures (Amendments) (effective on or after 1 January 2015) − HKFRS 7 and HKFRS 9 (Amendments) “Mandatory effective date and transition disclosures” delay the effective date to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015, and also modify the relief from restating prior periods. As part of this relief, additional disclosures on transition from HKAS 39 to HKFRS 9 are required.

Woods Golf Group is in the process of making an assessment of the impact of these standards, amendments and interpretations on the Financial information of Woods Golf Group upon their initial application.

2.2 Subsidiaries

2.2.1 Consolidation

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which Woods Golf Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether Woods Golf Group controls another entity. Woods Golf Group also assesses existence of control where it does not have more than 50% of the voting power but is able to govern the financial and operating policies by virtue of de-facto control. De-facto control may arise from circumstances such as enhanced minority rights or contractual terms between shareholders, etc.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to Woods Golf Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses on transactions between JV Target Group companies are eliminated. Profits and losses resulting from inter-company transactions that are recognized in assets are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by Woods Golf Group.

(a) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control

Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions – that is, as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.

– III-12 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY NO. 9

APPENDIX III

2.3 Foreign currency translation

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of Woods Golf Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). Since the majority of the assets and operations of Woods Golf Group are located in the PRC, the combined financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is Woods Golf Group’s functional and presentation currency.

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss, except when deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges.

2.4 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation and any impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to Woods Golf Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the year in which they are incurred. Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Building 20 years
Vehicles 5 years
Furniture and office equipment 3-5 years

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Construction in progress represents the direct costs of construction incurred of property, plant and equipment less any impairment losses. No provision for depreciation is made on construction in progress until such time the relevant assets are completed and put into use. Construction in progress is reclassified to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for use.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised within “Other gains/(losses)-net” in the profit or loss.

– III-13 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY NO. 9

APPENDIX III

2.5 Land use rights

All land in the PRC is state-owned and no individual land ownership right exists. Woods Golf Group acquired the rights to use certain land and the premiums paid for such rights are recorded as land use rights.

Land use rights which are held for self-use are stated at cost and amortised over the use terms of 70 years using the straight-line method. Land use rights which are held for development for sales are inventories and measured at lower of cost and net realisable value. Land use rights are transferred to properties under development upon the commencement of development.

2.6 Properties under development

Properties under development are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value takes into account the price ultimately expected to be realised, less applicable variable selling expenses and anticipated cost to completion.

Development cost of property comprises construction costs, land use rights cost, capitalised borrowing costs and professional fees incurred during the development period. On completion, the properties are transferred to completed properties held for sale.

2.7 Completed properties held for sale

Completed properties remaining unsold at the end of each reporting period are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Cost comprises development costs attributable to the unsold properties.

Net realisable value is determined by reference to the sale proceeds of properties sold in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses, or by management estimates based on prevailing marketing conditions.

2.8 Impairment of investments in subsidiaries and non-financial assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life or are not yet available for use are not subject to depreciation or amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to depreciation or amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

Impairment testing of the investment in a subsidiary is required upon receiving a dividend from that subsidiary if the dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of the subsidiary concerned in the period the dividend is declared or if the carrying amount of the subsidiary in Woods Golf’s balance sheet exceeds the carrying amount of the subsidiary’s net assets including goodwill in the consolidated balance sheet.

2.9 Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for properties sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection of trade and other receivables is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.

Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

– III-14 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY NO. 9

APPENDIX III

2.10 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturity of three months or less. Bank deposits which are restricted to use are not included in cash and cash equivalents.

2.11 Paid up capital

Capital contributed by the shareholders is classified as equity.

2.12 Trade and other payables

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.13 Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transactions costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transactions costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the year of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless Woods Golf Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the respective balance sheet date.

Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalised during the year of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the year in which they are incurred.

Borrowing is derecognised when, and only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

2.14 Current and deferred income tax

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transactions other than a business combination that at the time of the transactions affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

– III-15 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY NO. 9

APPENDIX III

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, and associates, except for deferred income tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by Woods Golf Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not be reversed in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

2.15 Employee benefits

In accordance with the rules and regulations in the PRC, the PRC based employees of Woods Golf Group participate in various defined contribution retirement benefit plans organised by the relevant municipal and provincial governments in the PRC under which Woods Golf Group and the PRC based employees are required to make monthly contributions to these plans calculated as a percentage of the employees’ salaries.

The municipal and provincial governments undertake to assume the retirement benefit obligations of all existing and future retired PRC based employees’ payable under the plans described above. Other than the monthly contributions, Woods Golf Group has no further obligation for the payment of retirement and other post retirement benefits of its employees. The assets of these plans are held separately from those of Woods Golf Group in independently administrated funds managed by the governments.

2.16 Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sales of properties and services in the ordinary course of Woods Golf Group’s activities. Revenue is shown, net of discount and after eliminating sales within Woods Golf Group. Revenue is recognised as follows:

(a) Sales of properties

Revenue from sales of properties is recognised when the risks and rewards of properties are transferred to the purchasers, which is when the construction of relevant properties has been completed and the properties have been delivered to the purchasers and recoverability of related receivables is reasonably assured. Deposits and instalments received on properties sold prior to the date of revenue recognition are included in the consolidated balance sheets as advanced proceeds received from customers under current liabilities.

(b) Service income

Hotel services income is recognized when the services are provided, the total amount of revenue and costs arising from provision of the services can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transactions will flow in.

(c) Interest income

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. When a loan or receivable is impaired, Woods Golf Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loan or receivables is recognised using the original effective interest rate in finance income.

2.17 Dividend distribution

Dividend distribution to Woods Golf’s shareholders is recognised as liabilities in the financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the company’s shareholders.

3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

3.1 Financial risk factors

Woods Golf Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Woods Golf Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on Woods Golf Group’s financial performance.

(a) Market risk

(i) Foreign exchange risk

Woods Golf Group’s normal operating activities are principally conducted in RMB since all of the operating entities are based in the PRC and all of the operating entities’ assets and liabilities were denominated in RMB. Therefore, the foreign exchange risk is low.

(ii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

As Woods Golf Group has no significant interest-bearing assets, Woods Golf Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent from changes in market interest rates.

Woods Golf Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose Woods Golf Group to cash flow interest-rate risk which is partially offset by cash held at variable rates. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose Woods Golf Group to fair value interest-rate risk. During the Relevant Periods, Woods Golf Group’s borrowings were all denominated in Renminbi.

Woods Golf Group has not used any interest rate swaps to hedge its exposure to interest rate risk.

The table below sets out Woods Golf Group’s exposure to interest rate risks. Included in the tables are the liabilities at carrying amounts, categorised by maturity dates.

Floating rates Floating rates Fixed rates

At 31 December 2010 19,229 19,229 2,053,920 2,053,920 2,073,149
At 31 December 2011 16,670 16,670 25,000 25,000 41,670
At 30 June 2012 15,338 15,338 15,338

As at 31 December 2009, 2010 and 2011 and 30 June 2012, if the interest rates on borrowings had been 100 basis points higher/lower with all other variables held constant, the interest expenses would have been higher/lower by RMB1.4 million, RMB17.1 million, RMB0.2 million, and RMB0 million respectively.

Woods Golf Group also analyses its interest rate exposure monthly by considering refinancing, renewal of existing positions and alternative financing.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY NO. 9

APPENDIX III

(iii) Price risk

Woods Golf Group is not exposed to price risk because it did not have investment items.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk is managed on group basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash deposited with banks, other receivables, due from related parties and third parties, notes receivables, as well as credit exposures to commercial customers who let space in our properties. Residential and commercial property sales are paid for through up-front cash transactions. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of ‘A’ are accepted. If there is no independent rating, risk control assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Sales to customers are settled in cash or using major credit cards.

With respect to banks, the larger State-owned banks in the PRC are mainly used for holding bank accounts in Woods Golf Group.

No credit limits were exceeded during the Relevant Periods, and management does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counterparties.

(c) Liquidity risk

Management of Woods Golf Group aims to maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents or have available funding through an adequate amount of available financing, including short-term and long-term bank borrowings to meet its construction commitments.

Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, Woods Golf Group treasury maintains flexibility in funding by its ability to move cash and cash equivalents between different entities through entrusted loan arrangements.

The table below analyses Woods Golf Group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date up to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within twelve months equal their carrying balances.

3.2 Capital risk management

In managing its capital risk, management considers capital to include paid up capital from equity holders and borrowings. Woods Golf Group’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for equity holders.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, Woods Golf Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to equity holders, return capital to equity holders, or sell assets to reduce debt.

Consistent with others in the industry, Woods Golf Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including current and non-current borrowings as shown in the consolidated balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as ‘equity’ as shown in the consolidated balance sheet, plus net debt.

The gearing ratios of Woods Golf Group as at 31 December 2009, 2010 and 2011 and 30 June 2012 were as follows:

As at
As at 31 December 30 June
2009 2010 2011 2012

Total borrowings (Note 14) 821,670 2,073,149 41,670 15,338
Cash and cash equivalents (Note 11) (323,995) (99,035) (7,083) (32,991)
Net debts 497,675 1,974,114 34,587 (17,653)
Total equity 185,221 302,295 472,640 620,066
Total capital 682,896 2,276,409 507,227 602,413
Gearing ratio 73% 87% 7% -3%

The property project was financed from borrowings and proceeds from pre-sales of the properties from the customers. In the years ended 31 December 2009 and 2010, the project of Woods Golf was mainly financed from borrowings. While in the year ended 31 December 2011 and the six months ended 30 June 2012, the project was mainly financed from the proceeds from pre-sales of properties. Therefore, the gearing ratio decreased significantly.

4 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Woods Golf Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.

4.1 Construction costs estimation

In Woods Golf Group, the project is divided into several phases according to the development and delivery plan. Cost of sales including construction costs specific to the phases and common costs allocable to the phases are calculated based on management best estimation of the total development costs for the whole project and the allocation to each phase at the time when the costs incurred.

4.2 Income taxes

Woods Golf Group is subject to corporate income tax in the PRC. Woods Golf Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such determination is made.

Deferred tax assets relating to certain temporary differences and tax losses are recognised when management considers to be probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences or tax losses can be utilised. The outcome of their actual utilisation may be different.

As disclosed in Note 6, Woods Golf Group has deferred tax assets from (1) the deferred deductible expenses, which are the expenses without sufficient tax documents received as at the balance sheet dates, (2) tax losses at the entity level, and (3) unpaid land appreciation tax accrued in the cost of sales in the profit or loss, which is a timing difference between the accounting profit and tax calculation.

Based on the development costs budget and the sales pricing plan, the directors are of the view that the property projects of Woods Golf Group will ultimately generate profits and the deferred tax assets on the unpaid land appreciation tax is a temporary difference. Therefore, management considers that the risk over the recoverability of the deferred tax assets could only be due to a challenge of the deductibility of the expenses currently classified as temporary differences that would result in their reclassification as permanent differences.

4.3 PRC land appreciation taxes

Woods Golf Group is subject to land appreciation taxes in the PRC. However, since the implementation and settlement of these taxes varies among various tax jurisdictions in cities of the PRC, significant judgement is required in determining the amount of the land appreciation and its related taxes. Woods Golf Group recognised these land appreciation taxes based on management’s best estimates according to its understanding of the interpretation of tax rules by various tax authorities. The final tax outcome could be different from the amounts that were initially recorded, and these differences will impact the income taxes and deferred income tax provisions in the years in which such taxes have been finalised with local tax authorities.

4.4 Provision for properties held for sale

Woods Golf Group assesses the carrying amounts of properties held for sale based on the net realisable value of these properties, taking into account costs to completion based on past experience and net sales value based on prevailing market conditions. Provision is made when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be realised. The assessment requires the use of judgement and estimates. As at 31 December 2009, 2010 and 2011 and at 30 June 2012, no such provision need to be accrued, based on the management assessment.

The selling and marketing costs of the JV Target Group amounted to RMB13.8 million, RMB30.4 million, RMB47.6 million for the three years ended 31 December 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively, which were primarily due to (i) the increase in the number of projects which were acquired and newly established in 2010 and (ii) increased marketing efforts on promoting property sales.

The selling and marketing costs of the JV Target Group was decreased by RMB6.0 million from RMB23.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 2011 to RMB17.3 million for the corresponding period in 2012, which was mainly due to the commencement of pre-sale of two projects, namely Greentown Suzhou Majestic Mansion and Greentown Shanghai Yulan Garden, in the first half year of 2011 when substantially more advertisement and promotion costs occurred.

The fluctuations of finance costs during the years/period were mainly due to the changes of borrowings in line with the funding demands in different stages of the project development and the fluctuation of capitalized finance costs during the construction periods.

The JV Target Group had only one jointly controlled entity, Changzhou Greentown, which was established in November 2010. For the year ended 31 December 2010 and 2011 and for the six months ended 30 June 2011 and 2012, the JV Target Group’s share of loss of jointly controlled entity amounted to RMB6.7 million, RMB16.5 million, RMB7.4 million and RMB10.8 million respectively.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE TARGET COMPANIES

APPENDIX IV

Cash position

The JV Target Group operated in a capital intensive industry and had historically financed, and expected to continue to finance its working capital, capital expenditures and other capital requirements through the proceeds from pre-sale and sale of properties, borrowings from commercial banks and other funds and capital contributions from the shareholders. The JV Target Group’s short-term liquidity requirements related to servicing its debt and funding its working capital requirements and its sources of short-term liquidity included cash balances, the proceeds from pre-sale and sale of properties and new borrowings. The JV Target Group’s long-term liquidity requirements related to funds required for the development of its new property projects and repaying its long-term debts and its sources of long-term liquidity included loans and capital contributions from shareholders.

As at 31 December 2009, 2010 and 2011 and 30 June 2012, the total balances of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of the JV Target Group were RMB511.7 million, RMB449.5 million, RMB153.3 million and RMB361.7 million, respectively.

Foreign exchange risk

The JV Target Group mainly operates in the PRC. All transactions are principally conducted in RMB and the assets and liabilities are all denominated in RMB. Therefore, it is not exposed to material foreign exchange risk.

At 30 June 2012 2,719 840 3,559 1,045 500 1,545 5,104

The fluctuations in the interest rate between the financial years were mainly due to different sources of borrowings taken out by different projects, which were affected by factors such as profitability of the projects, the market conditions, as well as the timing of the funds.

The JV Target Group did not use any interest rate swaps to hedge its exposure against interest rate risk during the three years ended 31 December 2011 and six months ended 30 June 2012. The JV Target Group analyzed its interest rate exposure monthly by considering refinancing, renewal of existing positions and alternative financing.

Gearing ratios

Gearing ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including current and long-term borrowings) less restricted cash and cash and cash equivalent. Total capital is calculated as total equity plus net debt. As at 31 December 2009, 2010 and 2011 and 30 June 2012, the JV Target Group’ gearing ratios were 67%, 68%, 78% and 74%, respectively.

The project development of the JV Target Group was mainly financed by shareholders’ loans, external borrowings and cash proceeds from pre-sale of its properties. The fluctuations of the gearing ratio during the periods were due to the increased demands for external funds, resulting in increases in external borrowings and increases in cash proceeds generated from pre-sales.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE TARGET COMPANIES

APPENDIX IV

Contingent liabilities

The JV Target Group had arranged bank financings for certain purchasers of the properties developed by it and had provided guarantees to secure repayment obligations of such purchasers. Such guarantees shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the transfer of the real estate ownership certificate to the purchasers which will generally occur within an average period of two to three years from the completion of the guarantee registration; and (ii) the satisfaction of mortgage loans by the purchasers of the properties.

Pursuant to the terms of the guarantees, upon default of mortgage payments by a purchaser, the relevant member of the JV Target Group is responsible for repaying the outstanding mortgage principal together with the outstanding accrued interest owed and certain penalty charges if the purchaser defaults his/her loans from the banks. The JV Target Group is entitled to take over the legal title and possession of the related properties in such case. The guarantee period starts from the date of grant of the mortgage. The Directors consider that the likelihood of default of payments by the purchasers is minimal and therefore the financial guarantee which measured at fair value is immaterial.

As at 31 December 2009, 2010 and 2011 and 30 June 2012, the aforementioned guaranteed customers’ bank loan balances were respectively as follows:

The JV Target Group did not have any material acquisition and disposal of subsidiaries and associated companies for each of the years ended 31 December 2009, 2010 and 2011 and the six months ended 30 June 2012.

Prospects of the JV Target Group

Woods Golf Group recorded a total selling and marketing costs of RMB9.8 million for the six months ended 30 June 2012, increasing substantially compared to RMB5.9 million for the corresponding period in 2011, which was primarily attributable to the increase in the advertisement and marketing costs as a result of the commencement of the presale or sale of properties.

Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including current and long-term borrowings) less restricted cash and cash and cash equivalent. Total capital is calculated as total equity plus net debt. As at 31 December 2009, 2010 and 2011 and 30 June 2012 Woods Golf Group’s gearing ratios were 73%, 87%, 7% and -3%, respectively.

The project development of Woods Golf Group was mainly financed by shareholders’ loans, external borrowings and cash proceeds from pre-sale of the properties. The fluctuations of the gearing ratio during the periods were due to the increased demands for external funds, resulting in increases in external borrowings and increases in cash proceeds from pre-sale in line with the project development and promotion schedule.

Contingent liabilities

As at 31 December 2009, 2010 and 2011 and 30 June 2012 Woods Golf Group has not arranged any bank financing for purchasers of the properties developed by Woods Golf Group and has never provided any guarantees to secure repayment obligations of such purchasers.

Material acquisition and disposal

Woods Golf Group had no material acquisition and disposal of subsidiaries and associated companies for each of the years ended 31 December 2009, 2010 and 2011 and the six months ended 30 June 2012.

Prospects of Woods Golf Group

Woods Golf Group has been engaged in the property development in the PRC for several years and will continue to focus on the high-end property strategy, maintaining a fast and steady pace of development with an objective of profit-making.

Future plans for capital assets

Woods Golf Group would continue to be engaged in the business of development of real estate properties after the completion of the Transactions. The present properties under construction would also continue to be developed as planned.

Expected sources of funding

The future operation of Woods Golf Group will be mainly financed by the proceeds from pre-sale of properties developed by Woods Golf Group.

16th Floor Jardine House 1 Connaught Place Central Hong Kong 30 October 2012

The Directors Sunac China Holdings Ltd. 3rd Floor, Building A3 Magnetic Plaza Binshuixi Road Nankai District Tianjin The People’s Republic of China

Dear Sirs,

INSTRUCTIONS, PURPOSE & DATE OF VALUATION

In accordance with your instructions for us to value the properties to be acquired by Sunac China Holdings Limited (referred to as the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter together referred to as the “Group”) in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) (as more particularly described in the valuation certificates), we confirm that we have inspected the properties, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary to provide you with our opinion of the values of such properties as at 31 July 2012 (the “date of valuation”).

DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE

Our valuation of each of the properties represents its market value which in accordance with The HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (First Edition 2005) published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors 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 transactions after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.

– VI-1 –

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX VI

VALUATION BASIS AND ASSUMPTIONS

Our valuations exclude an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangement, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any element of special value. In valuing the properties, we have complied with the requirements set out in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, The Code on Takeovers and Mergers, Share Repurchases of Securities and Future Commission and the HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (First Edition 2005) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.

In the course of our valuation of the properties in the PRC, we have assumed that, unless otherwise stated, the transferable land use rights of the properties for their respective terms at nominal annual land use fees have been granted and that any premium payable has already been fully paid.

We have relied on the information provided by the Group and the advice provided by Jincheng Tongda & Neal Law Firm, the Group’s legal adviser, regarding the title to each of the properties and the interests of the Group in the properties. In valuing the properties, we have assumed that the Group has an enforceable title to each of the properties and has free and uninterrupted rights to use, occupy or assign the properties for the whole of the respective unexpired land use term as granted.

In respect of the properties situated in the PRC, the status of titles and grant of major certificates approvals and licences, in accordance with the information provided by the Group are set out in the notes of the respective valuation certificates.

No allowance has been made in our valuations for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the properties nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. 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. In respect of the properties, we have relied on the legal opinion given to us by the Group’s legal adviser.

Our valuations are each on an entire interest basis.

For the properties situated in the PRC, we have been advised by the Group that the potential tax liabilities include Land Appreciation Tax (土地增值稅) at progressive tax rates from 30% to 60%, Business Tax (營業稅) at 5% of sales amount, related surcharge (附加稅) at 11% of Business Tax (營業稅), and Income Tax (所得稅) 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 representation of the relevant transactions documents.

In respect of the properties to be acquired by the Group for sale and under construction in the PRC under Group I and Group II, the likelihood of the relevant tax liability being crystallized is high. As advised by the Group, the potential tax liabilities is estimated to be

– VI-2 –

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX VI

approximately RMB5,652.2 million would arise if such properties were to be sold at the amount of the valuation. The above amount is for indicative purpose and is calculated based on prevailing rules and information available as at the Latest Practicable Date.

In respect of the properties to be acquired by the Group for future development in the PRC under Group III, the likelihood of the relevant tax liability being crystallized is remote as the Group has no plan for the disposal of such properties yet.

METHOD OF VALUATION

In valuing the properties in Group I, which are acquired by the Group for sale in the PRC, we have used the direct comparison approach assuming sale of these properties in its existing state with the benefit of vacant possession by making reference to comparable sales transactions as available in the relevant market.

In valuing the properties in Group II and III, which are acquired by the Group under development and for future development respectively in the PRC, we have valued them on the basis that they will be developed and completed in accordance with the latest development proposals provided to us by the Group (if any). We have assumed that all consents, approvals and licences from relevant government authorities for the development proposals have been or will be obtained without onerous conditions or delays. We have also assumed that the design and construction of the developments are in compliance with the local planning and other relevant regulations and have been or will be approved by the relevant authorities. In arriving at our valuations, we have adopted the direct comparison approach by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant market and have also taken into account the expended construction costs as well as the costs that will be expended to complete the developments. The “capital value when completed” represents our opinion of the aggregate selling prices of the development assuming that it were completed as at the date of valuation.

SOURCE OF INFORMATION

We have been provided by the Group with extracts of documents in relation to the titles to the properties. However, we have not inspected the original documents to ascertain any amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us.

In the course of our valuation, we have relied to a very considerable extent on the information given to us by the Group in respect of the properties in the PRC and have accepted advice given by the Group on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenure, identification of land and buildings, completion date of buildings, number of car parking spaces, particulars of occupancy, site and floor areas, interest attributable to the Group and all other relevant matters.

Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificates are based on information provided to us and are therefore only approximations. We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Group which is material to the valuations. We were also advised by the Group that no material facts have been omitted from the information provided.

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX VI

TITLE INVESTIGATION

We have been provided with extracts of documents relating to the titles of the properties in the PRC, but no searches have been made in respect of the properties. We have not searched the original documents to verify ownership or to ascertain any amendment which may not appear on the copies handed to us. We are also unable to ascertain the title of the properties in the PRC and we have therefore relied on the advice given by the Group regarding the Group’s interests in the PRC properties.

Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of any onerous nature which could affect their values.

SITE INSPECTION

Our DTZ Shanghai office valuer Eis Yao, George Deng and Jack Sun, Tianjin Office valuer Thomas Tang inspected the exterior and, whenever possible, the interior of the properties between July 2012 and September 2012. However, no structural survey has been made, but in the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects. We are not, however, able to report whether the properties are free of rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No test was carried out on any of the services. Unless otherwise stated, we have not been able to carry out on-site measurements to verify the site and floor areas of the properties and we have assumed that the area shown on the documents handed to us are correct. For those properties which are under or held for future development, we have not carried out any soil investigations to determine the suitability of soil conditions and services for any future development. Moreover, we have not undertaken any environmental survey for the properties. Our valuations are prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary expenses or delays will be incurred during construction.

CURRENCY

Unless otherwise stated, all money amounts indicated herein our valuations are in Renminbi (RMB), official currency of the PRC.

We enclose herewith a summary of our valuations and our valuation certificates.

Yours faithfully,

for and on behalf of

DTZ Debenham Tie Leung Limited
