Notes:
- References are made to the announcements of the Company dated 4 May 2015 and 17 May 2015 in relation to the entering of a framework agreement and the relevant underlying documents, pursuant to which, among others, it was conditionally agreed that Shanghai Sunac Greentown shall dispose the return on investment of 51% equity interests in Onshore Target Company 1 (i.e. Shanghai Huazhe Bund) held by Shanghai Sunac Greentown to Greetown Real Estate (the “ Proposed Disposal ”).
As part of the transactions as contemplated under the Equity Sale and Purchase Agreement, Tianjin Sunac Ao Cheng conditionally agreed to purchase, and Sunac Greentown agreed to dispose, 51% equity interests in Onshore Target Company 1 at a consideration of RMB1,000,000,000 pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Equity Sale and Purchase Framework Agreement. On the assumption that the approval of the Shareholders having been obtained at an extraordinary general meeting of the Company and the approval of the shareholders of Greentown China having been obtained for the transactions contemplated under the framework agreement in relation to, among others, the Proposed Disposal and the related underlying documents, the acquisition of 51% equity interests in Onshore Target Company 1 will not proceed pursuant to the Equity Sale and Purchase Framework Agreement and that the parties will proceed with the transfer of the return on investment of 51% equity interests in Onshore Target Company 1 pursuant to the terms of the framework agreement in relation to, among others, the Proposed Disposal accordingly.
In the event that the Proposed Disposal is being approved by the Shareholders and the shareholders of Greentown China and the Proposed Disposal proceeds to completion, the Group will no longer hold any equity interest in Onshore Target Company 1 and Onshore Target Company 1 will cease to become a subsidiary of the Company and its financial statements will not be consolidated to the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
The change in the Company’s decision concerning the treatment of Onshore Target Company 1 was arrived based on arm’s length negotiation between the Company and Greentown China with respect to the overall effect of the framework agreement dated 15 May 2015 as a whole where the Company would acquire interests in five project companies or companies, namely Shanghai Forest Golf, Hangzhou Sunac Greentown, Tianjin National Game Village Project, Shanghai Sunac Greentown, Sunac Greentown and dispose of interests in three project companies, namely Zhejiang Jinying, Beijing Xingye Wanfa and Onshore Target Company 1. For details of the Proposed Disposal and the reasons for and benefits of the transactions contemplated under the framework agreement dated 15 May 2015 (including the Proposed Disposal) and the relevant underlying documents, please refer to the announcements of the Company dated 4 May 2015 and 17 May 2015.
- As at the date of entering the Equity Sale and Purchase Framework Agreement, it was intended that Onshore Target Company 12 would be the project company to acquire and develop Land Plot G58. Due to changes in internal business plan, legal title of Land Plot G58 was not passed to Onshore Target Company 12 thereafter and in January 2015, Shanghai Sunac Greentown has resolved that Suzhou Rongding, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Onshore Target Company 15 (instead of Onshore Target Company 12), would be used to acquire and develop Land Plot G58 in Suzhou. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Onshore Target Company 12 held no underlying assets.

Pursuant to the Equity Sale and Purchase Framework Agreement, Shanghai Sunac Greentown and Tianjin Sunac Ao Cheng shall enter into separate equity transfer agreement relating the sale and purchase of the equity interests of each of the Onshore Target Companies for the purpose of the Onshore Transaction.

Upon negotiation of the parties and with reference to the valuation report on the Onshore Target Companies issued by DTZ Debenham Tie Leung Limited (with a valuation base date of 30 November 2014, a summary of which is set out in Appendix IX of this circular), the Onshore Target Equity Consideration will be adjusted from RMB5,614,916,584.45 to RMB5,498,989,189.52.
Accordingly, the aggregate Onshore Target Equity Consideration for the transactions contemplated under the Equity Sale and Purchase Framework Agreement is RMB5,498,989,189.52. Upon further negotiation among the parties, it is agreed that the consideration for the Onshore Transaction (after adjustment) will be payable by Tianjin Sunac Ao Cheng before 31 July 2015, either by way of one-off payment or by tranches. The consideration payable by Tianjin Sunac Ao Cheng for the Onshore Transaction will be funded by internal resources of the Group.
The Original Onshore Target Equity Consideration for the transfer of the Onshore Target Equity which was arrived at upon arm’s length negotiations between the parties on normal commercial terms comprises (i) actual investment costs of Shanghai Sunac Greentown to injected to the Onshore Target Companies in the aggregate amount of approximately RMB4,289.4 million, which was the reference point for the commercial negotiation of the consideration between the parties; and (ii) the premium over the actual investment costs in the aggregate amount of approximately RMB1,325.5 million with reference to the market value of the underlying assets of the Onshore Target Companies subject to adjustment upon consideration of the valuation from an independent valuer. Further, the final consideration for the Onshore Transaction (after adjustment) was arrived upon the adjustment being made after taking into consideration of the valuation of the Onshore Target Companies issued by DTZ Debenham Tie Leung Limited (with a valuation base date of 30 November 2014) with the premium over the actual investment costs of approximately RMB1,209.6 million. In arriving at the final consideration, the Directors have considered the following factors:
- (a) the Company has considered and made reference to the valuation of the net assets value of the respective Onshore Target Companies as at 30 November 2014 appraised by an independent valuer (details of the appraised net assets value are set out in Appendix IX of this circular);
— 15 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
-
(b) references have also been made to the actual investment costs, being the costs of the initial acquisition of Shanghai Sunac Greentown of the equity interests in the respective Onshore Target Companies based on the cost method as of 30 November 2014; and
-
(c) a premium or discount (if any) being applied to the actual investment costs based on the Company’s assessment of the prospects of the project companies owned by the Onshore Target Companies.
Accordingly, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the Onshore Target Equity Consideration for the acquisition of certain equity interests in each of the Onshore Target Companies are fair and reasonable.

Based on the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Group (assuming the Offshore Transaction and the Onshore Transaction had been completed on 31 December 2014) as set out in Appendix VI to this circular, the Group would have a decrease in total assets of approximately RMB291.7 million to approximately RMB112,070.6 million, an increase in total liabilities of approximately RMB288.7 million to approximately RMB91,668.4 million, a decrease in net assets of approximately RMB580.4 million to approximately RMB20,402.2 million.
Based on the earnings and the trends of sales and profits since 2012 as set out in the Accountant’s Reports of the Offshore Target Group and the Onshore Target Companies, the Directors believe that the Transactions would have a positive impact on the earnings of the Group. As the considerations payable by the Company under the Transactions would be paid to Sunac Greentown and Shanghai Sunac Greentown, both being subsidiaries of the Company, the Directors believe that the Transactions would have no material impact to the cashflows and gearing of the Company.
For details of the unaudited pro forma financial information on the Group following completion of the Offshore Transaction and the Onshore Transaction, please refer to Appendix VI to this circular.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Your attention is drawn to the information set out in the appendices to this circular.
Reference is made to Appendix IX “ Valuation Summary of the net assets value of the Offshore and Onshore Target Companies ” of this circular, which contains information as to the net assets value of the Offshore Target Company and the Onshore Target Companies as at 30 November 2014 appraised by DTZ Debenham Tie Leung Limited, an independent valuer appointed by the parties to the Transactions, the amounts of which have been considered by the Company in arriving at the final consideration for the Transactions.
- (I) Excess of the final equity consideration of the Transactions over the appraised net asset value in Appendix IX
The Company considers that the excess of the final consideration for the relevant equity interests of the Offshore Target Company and the Onshore Target Companies in the Transactions over the appraised net asset value contained in Appendix IX of this circular was mainly attributable to the following reasons:-
- (i) the Offshore Target Group and the Onshore Target Companies own and operate prime property assets and property development projects in the Shanghai area (including the
— 24 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Suzhou, Wuxi and Changzhou regions), which is an area the Company has been cultivating deep regional culture over the years because of its good future prospects due to the advanced economic development, high property demand and good growth potential of such area. As such, the Company considers that the Transactions have strategic value to the Company’s development as it would further increase the Company’s market share in the Shanghai area and strengthen the Company’s leading position in the property market in the Shanghai area, which would pave the foundation for the Company’s further development;
-
(ii) the goodwill of such target companies in the local markets, taking into account the fact that the management team of the Company has been involved in the management of the projects of such project companies over the years and are familiar with their business and prospects, therefore, the Company believes that it would have a more accurate assessment of the associated risks of the Transactions and the prospects of such project companies and hence the adjusted consideration is considered by the Company to be fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole; and
-
(iii) significantly lower risk and expenses relating to the Transactions due to the fact that the Company has had established good management team to operate these project companies over the years and hence the Company is familiar with their operation and there would be less uncertainty as to formation of management team and/or brand recognition for these project companies, comparing to acquisition of project companies from other third parties.
Based on the reasons above, the Directors are of the view that the adjusted equity consideration for the Transactions (which contains an excess over the appraised net assets value as set out in Appendix IX of this circular) is fair and reasonable.
- (II) Excess of the appraised net asset value in Appendix IX over the value of the net assets of the Offshore Target Group and the Onshore Target Companies in the accountants’ reports of Appendix II and Appendix IV
The Company considers that the excess of the appraised net assets value in Appendix IX over the value of the net assets of the Offshore Target Group and the Onshore Target Companies in the accountants’ reports in Appendix II and Appendix IV was mainly attributable to the following reasons:-
- (i) the value of net assets of the Offshore Target Group and the Onshore Target Companies as contained in the accountants’ reports in Appendix II and Appendix IV represents the carrying value of the Offshore Target Group and the Onshore Target Companies respectively, which only reflect the historical costs of the assets and liabilities held by them and do not reflect their market value due to further development of the projects of the Offshore Target Group and the Onshore Target Companies and the changes in the market conditions over the years;
— 25 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
-
(ii) the appraised net asset value contained in Appendix IX to this circular represents the market value of the Offshore Target Company and Onshore Target Companies, which is determined with reference to (i) the carrying value of the Offshore Target Company and the Onshore Target Companies; and (ii) the surplus arising from valuation of the properties which was affected by many factors, including without limitation, the market sale price of the properties and the outstanding costs for completion of the properties.
-
(iii) the aggregate amount of the net assets value of the Offshore Target Company and Onshore Target Companies as set out in Appendix IX to this circular is approximately RMB13,053,000,000, in which RMB3,073,121,000 is attributable to the non-controlling shareholders and RMB9,979,879,000 is attributable to Shanghai Sunac Greentown and Sunac Greentown. As disclosed on page VI-5 of this circular, the aggregate amount of the carrying value of the net assets of the Targets (as defined in Appendix VI to this circular) was approximately RMB9,352,093,000. The excess in the net assets value in Appendix IX over the carrying value of the net assets of the Targets in Appendix VI amounts to RMB627,786,000 (representing approximately 6.7% of the carrying value of the net assets of the Targets), which is mainly attributable to the aforementioned surplus arising from valuation of the properties. (For details of the reconciliation between the carrying value of the net assets of the Targets and the carrying value of the net assets value of the Offshore Target Group and Onshore Target Companies as contained in the accountant’s reports in Appendix II and Appendix VI, please refer to page VI-6 of this circular.)
The Directors confirm that the information contained in this circular (including Appendix IX) is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive as set out in Rule 2.13(2) of the Listing Rules.

(b) History of the Offshore Target Group
-
(i) On 1 July 2012, pursuant to a Cooperation Framework Agreement entered into by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and Greentown Real Estate Group Co., Ltd (“Greentown Real Estate”), a third party of the Company, the Company through its subsidiary effectively acquired 50% of interests in eight project companies by way of the establishment of a joint venture company named Shanghai Sunac Greentown Investment Holdings Limited (“Shanghai Sunac Greentown”), and directly acquired an effective 50% interest in a project company. Suzhou Yuyuan is one of the acquired entities and became a subsidiary of the Company upon completion of the acquisition (Note 26). Later, Suzhou Yuyuan became one of the companies comprising the Offshore Target Group after an acquisition under common control of the Company, as disclosed in Note 1(b)(iii) below.
Among the entities comprising the Offshore Target Group, Suzhou Yuyuan was the first entity that became controlled by the Company. 1 July 2012, the date of acquisition of Suzhou Yuyuan by the Company, was regarded as the initial date of establishment of the Offshore Target Group for the purpose of this report.
- (ii) On 17 July 2013, the Company, through Sunac Greentown, acquired Elegant Trend from an independent third party at a total consideration of RMB7,996.1 million, in which RMB5,676.7 million was for the acquisition of entire equity interest and an aggregate amount of RMB2,319.4 million was to settle the amount due to the original owner and certain payables due by Elegant Trend and its subsidiaries to third parties. In respect of the payment of the total consideration for this acquisition, RMB3,277 million was contributed by the shareholders, and RMB4,719 million was financed by loan from shareholders and other related parties. Elegant Trend is an investment holding company and it controls operating entities engaging in the development of real estate property in Shanghai, the PRC, through several intermediate equity investment holding entities.

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE OFFSHORE TARGET GROUP
- (iii) In October 2013, a wholly owned subsidiary of Elegant Trend, New Richport, acquired 100% equity interest of Shanghai Ronglv Dingsheng from Shanghai Sunac Greentown at a consideration of RMB5 million. Shanghai Ronglv Dingsheng was incorporated in June 2013 by Shanghai Sunac Greentown, the paid-up capital of which is RMB5 million. Subsequent to this transaction, Shanghai Ronglv Dingsheng acquired 100% equity interest of Suzhou Yuyuan from Shanghai Sunac Greentown at a consideration of RMB250 million.
These transactions were regarded as acquisitions under common control, because the sellers and buyers are all ultimately controlled by the Company.
- (iv) In January 2014 Shanghai Mingxiang was incorporated by Shanghai Sunac Greentown, the paid-up capital of which is RMB5 million. In August 2014, a project operating subsidiary of Elegant Trend, Fung Seng acquired the 100% equity interests of Shanghai Mingxiang from Shanghai Sunac Greentown through its newly established intermediate investment holding subsidiary namely Shanghai Yujiang Property Management Co., Ltd. at a consideration of RMB5 million.
These transactions were also regarded as acquisitions under common control, because the sellers and buyers are all ultimately controlled by the Company.
(c) Basis of presentation
The Offshore Target Group is owned and controlled by the Company and was managed by Sunac Greentown’s management team as one business (the “Business”) throughout the Relevant Periods, for the purpose of this report, the Financial Information has been presented on a combined basis. Assets and liabilities relating to the Business are recorded in the companies set out in Note 1(a), and also in Sunac Greentown which are directly attributable to the Business, have been included in the Financial Information according to HKFRS.

The assets and liabilities relating to the Business recorded in Sunac Greentown and included in this Financial Information are not parts of the transaction scope of the “Offshore Target Group Acquisition Agreement”, which primarily included certain borrowings to finance the Business and amounted to net liabilities of RMB0 million, RMB2,318 million and RMB2,318 million as at 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively.
2 Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of Financial Information are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to the Relevant Periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
— II-11 —
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE OFFSHORE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
2.1 Basis of preparation
The combined financial statements of the Offshore Target Group have been prepared in accordance with the HKFRs. The combined financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. For acquisitions during to Relevant Periods, the accounting policies as disclosed in Note 2.2.1 are adopted.
The combined financial statements are prepared in accordance with the applicable requirements of the predecessor Companies Ordinance (Cap. 32) for the Relevant Periods.
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 Offshore 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 5.
2.1.1 Changes in accounting policy and disclosures
- (a) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2014, and have not been applied in preparing this combined financial statement.
- (I) Changes effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014
Amendment to HKAS19 regarding defined benefit plans Annual improvements 2012 Annual improvements 2013
- (II) Changes effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016
HKFRS 14 “Regulatory Deferral Accounts”
Amendment to HKFRS 11 on accounting for acquisitions of interests in joint operation Amendments to HKAS 16 and HKAS 38 on clarification of acceptable methods of depreciation and amortization
Annual improvements 2014
- (III) Changes effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017
HKFRS15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”
- (IV) Changes effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018
HKFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”
— II-12 —
APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE OFFSHORE TARGET GROUP
None of these is expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Offshore Target Group, except the following set out below:
HKFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ deals with revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from the good or service. The standard replaces HKAS 18 ‘Revenue’ and HKAS 11 ‘Construction contracts’ and related interpretations. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 and earlier application is permitted. The group is assessing the impact of HKAS 15.
There are no other HKFRSs or HK (IFRIC) interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the group.
(b) New Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622)
In addition, the requirements of Part 9 “Accounts and Audit” of the new Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) come into operation as from the Company’s first financial year commencing on or after 3 March 2014 in accordance with section 358 of that Ordinance. The group is in the process of making an assessment of expected impact of the changes in the Companies Ordinance on the combined financial statements in the period of initial application of Part 9 of the new Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622). So far it has concluded that the impact is unlikely to be significant and only the presentation and the disclosure of information in the combined financial statements will be affected.
2.2 Subsidiaries
2.2.1 Consolidation
A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity) over which the management team of the Offshore Target Group has control. The management team of the Offshore Target Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully combined from the date on which control is transferred to the management team of the Offshore Target Group. They are de-combined from the date that control ceases.
(a) Under common control combinations
The financial statements have been prepared using the principles of merger accounting, as described in Hong Kong Accounting Guideline 5 “Merger Accounting for Common Control Combinations” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”).
— II-13 —
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE OFFSHORE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
(b) Other combinations
The Offshore Target Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations except for those under common control by the Company. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Offshore Target Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Offshore Target Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognized amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets.
Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Offshore Target Group is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognized in accordance with HKAS 39 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
The excess of the consideration transferred the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognized and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement.
Intra-group transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated. When necessary, amounts reported by subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform with the Offshore Target Group’s accounting policies.
2.3 Foreign currency translation
(a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Offshore 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 Offshore Target Group are located in the PRC, the combined financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is the functional and presentation currency of Offshore Target Group.
— II-14 —
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE OFFSHORE TARGET GROUP
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 recognized in the combined 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 profit or loss.
2.4 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. 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 recognized as a separate asset, as appropriately when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Offshore Target Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. 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 costs to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
Vehicles 5 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of 5 years or the lease periods 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 periods.
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.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized in profit or loss.
2.5 Intangible assets
Computer software
Costs of the purchases of computer software are recognized as intangible assets and are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives and five years.
— II-15 —
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE OFFSHORE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
2.6 Land use rights
All land in the PRC is state-owned and no individual land ownership right exists. The Offshore 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 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 realizable value.
2.7 Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized 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). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
2.8 Financial assets
2.8.1 Classification
The Offshore Target Group’s financial assets are loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for the amounts that are settled or expected to be settled more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets. The Offshore Target Group’s loans and receivables comprise trade and other receivables, amounts due from related companies, restricted cash and cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet.
2.8.2 Recognition and measurement
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date — the date on which the Offshore Target Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss is initially recognized at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Offshore Target Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
— II-16 —
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE OFFSHORE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
2.8.3 Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the company or the counterparty.
2.9 Impairment of financial assets carried at amortized cost
(a) Assets carried at amortized cost
The Offshore Target Group assesses at the end of each year whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a “loss event”) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization, and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
For loans and receivables category, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognized in the combined income statement. If a loan or held-to-maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Offshore Target Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognized impairment loss is recognized in the combined income statement.
2.10 Properties under development
Properties under development are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value takes into account the price ultimately expected to be realized, less applicable variable selling expenses and anticipated cost to completion.
— II-17 —
APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE OFFSHORE TARGET GROUP
Development cost of property comprises construction costs, land use rights cost, capitalized borrowing costs and professional fees incurred during the development period. On completion, the properties are transferred to completed properties held for sale.
2.11 Completed properties held for sale
Completed properties remaining unsold as at the balance sheet dates are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
Cost comprises development costs attributable to the unsold properties.
Net realizable 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.
2.12 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 recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment.
2.13 Restricted cash
Restricted cash mainly includes guarantee deposits for the Offshore Target Group’s bank loans. For the guarantee deposits for bank loans, the restrictions are released when the Offshore Target Group repays the bank loans.
2.14 Cash and cash equivalents
In the combined statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks.
2.15 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.
— II-18 —
APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE OFFSHORE TARGET GROUP
Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
2.16 Borrowings
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Offshore Target Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the Relevant Periods.
2.17 Borrowing costs
General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
2.18 Current and deferred income tax
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the income statement.
(a) Current income tax
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’s 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. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
— II-19 —
APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE OFFSHORE TARGET GROUP
(b) Deferred income tax
Inside basis differences
Deferred income tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the combined financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized 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 transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction 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 realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
Outside basis differences
Deferred income tax liabilities are 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 the Offshore Target Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized on deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries only to the extent that it is probable the temporary difference will reverse in the future and there is sufficient taxable profit available against which the temporary difference can be utilized.
(c) Offsetting
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.
2.19 Employee benefits
(a) Employee leave entitlement
Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognized when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the balance sheet date.

Employee entitlements to sick leave and maternity leave are not recognized until the time of leave.
(b) Retirement benefits
In accordance with the rules and regulations in the PRC, the PRC based employees of the Offshore Target Group participate in various defined contribution retirement benefit plans organized by the relevant municipal and provincial governments in the PRC under which the Offshore 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 Offshore 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 Offshore Target Group in independently administrated funds managed by the governments.
2.20 Provisions
Provisions for legal claims are recognized when: the Offshore 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. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
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 recognized 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 recognized as interest expense.
2.21 Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, and represents amounts receivable for goods supplied, stated net of discounts returns and value added taxes. The Offshore Target Group recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured; when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity; and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Offshore Target Group’s activities, as described below. The Offshore Target Group bases its estimates of return on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.

APPENDIX II
(a) Sales of properties
Revenue from sales of properties is recognized 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 installments received on properties sold prior to the date of revenue recognition are included in the combined balance sheets as advanced proceeds received from customers under current liabilities.
2.22 Insurance contracts
An insurance contract is a contract under which one party (the issuer) accepts significant insurance risk from another party (the policyholder) by agreeing to compensate the policyholder if a specific uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects the policyholder. Insurance risk is a pre-existing risk transferred from the policyholder to the insurer, and is significant only if an insured event could cause an insurer to pay significant additional benefits in any scenario, excluding scenarios that lack commercial substance (i.e. have no discernible effect on the economics of the transaction).
The Offshore Target Group regards its financial guarantee contracts provided in respect of mortgage facilities for certain property purchasers and financial guarantee contracts provided to its related parties as insurance contracts.
The Offshore Target Group assesses at each reporting date whether its guarantee insurance liabilities are adequate, using current estimates of future cash flows under its insurance contracts. If that assessment shows that the carrying amount of its insurance liabilities is inadequate in the light of the estimated future cash flow, the entire deficiency is recognized in the combined income statement.
3 Financial risk management
3.1 Financial risk factors
The Offshore 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 Offshore Target Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Offshore Target Group’s financial performance.
Risk management is carried out by the central treasury department (“Group treasury”) of the Company under policies approved by the board of directors. The Offshore 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.

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE OFFSHORE TARGET GROUP
-
(a) Market risk
-
(i) Foreign exchange risk
The Offshore 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) Price risk
The Offshore Target Group is not exposed to equity securities price or commodity price risk.
(iii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
As the Offshore Target Group has no significant interest-bearing assets, the Offshore Target Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent from changes in market interest rates.
The Offshore Target Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Offshore 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 Offshore Target Group to fair value interest-rate risk. During the Relevant Periods, the Offshore Target Group’s borrowings were all denominated in RMB.
The Offshore Target Group has not used any interest rate swaps to hedge its exposure to interest rate risk.
The table below sets out the Offshore Target Group’s exposure to interest rate risks. Included in the tables are the liabilities at carrying amounts, categorised by maturity dates.
| RMB’ million Borrowings At 31 December 2012 At 31 December 2013 At 31 December 2014 |
Floating rates Less than 1year 1 to 5 years Subtotal 1,535 — 1,535 200 1,600 1,800 1,580 990 2,570 |

— II-23 —
APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE OFFSHORE TARGET GROUP
As at 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014, if the interest rates on borrowings had been 100 basis points higher/lower with all other variables held constant, the post-tax profit would have been lower/higher by RMB0 million, RMB2 million and RMB4.9 million respectively and capitalized interest would have been higher/lower by RMB16.7 million, RMB14.5 million and RMB6.5 million respectively.
The Offshore Target Group’s management team centrally authorizes all loans entered into by operating entities and sets a benchmark interest rate within which the entity management teams can negotiate loans with their local lenders prior to obtaining central approval from the Offshore Target Group management. The interest rate benchmark is reassessed annually by the Offshore Target Group management team.
The Offshore Target Group also analyses its interest rate exposure monthly by considering refinancing, renewal of existing positions and alternative financing.
(b) Credit risk
The Offshore Target Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum extent of the Offshore Target Group’s credit exposure in relation to financial assets is represented by the aggregate balance of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other receivable, amount due from related parties included in the combined balance sheets. Cash transactions are limited to high-credit-quality banks. The Offshore Target Group has policies in place to ensure that sales of properties are made to customers with an appropriate financial strength and appropriate percentage of down payment. Credit is granted to customers with sufficient financial strength. It also has continuous monitoring procedures to ensure the collection of the receivables as scheduled and follow up action is taken to recover overdue debts, if any.
Certain customers of the Offshore Target Group have arranged bank financing for their purchases of the properties. The Offshore Target Group entities 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 25.
(c) Liquidity risk
Management aims to maintain sufficient cash to meet funding requirement for operations and monitor rolling forecasts of the Offshore Target Group’s cash on the basis of expected cash flow.
The Offshore Target Group has a number of alternative plans to mitigate the potential impacts on anticipated cash flows should there be significant adverse changes in economic environment. These include adjusting and further slowing down the construction progress as appropriate to ensure available resources for the development of properties for sale, implementing cost control measures, accelerating sales with more flexible pricing and issuing senior notes. The Offshore Target Group, will base on its assessment of the relevant future costs and benefits, pursue such options as are appropriate. The directors consider that the Offshore Target Group will be able to maintain sufficient financial resources to meet its operation needs.

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE OFFSHORE TARGET GROUP
Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Offshore Target Group’s central treasury department maintains flexibility in funding by its ability to move cash and cash equivalents between different entities through entrusted loan arrangements.
The table below analyses the Offshore Target Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity grouping based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

Note:
Trade and other payables in this analysis do not include the taxes payables and payroll and welfare payables.
3.2 Capital management
The Offshore Target Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholder and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Offshore Target Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to equity holders, return capital to equity holders, or sell assets to reduce debt.
— II-25 —
APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE OFFSHORE TARGET GROUP
Consistent with others in the industry, the Offshore Target Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total equity. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including current and non-current borrowings as shown in the combined balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash).
The gearing ratios of the Offshore Target Group as at 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014 were as follows:
| Total borrowings Restricted cash Cash and cash equivalents Net debts Total equity Gearing ratio |
31 December 2012 2013 RMB’000 RMB’000 2,029,000 3,715,700 (2,144) (91,362) (255,384) (805,337) 1,771,472 2,819,001 (91,605) 3,523,751 N/A 80% |
2014 RMB’000 3,281,472 (22,653) (1,201,429) 2,057,390 3,432,463 60% |
|---|---|---|
The directors are of the view that the Offshore Target Group’s gearing ratio is healthy.
4 Fair value estimation
The carrying value less impairment provisions of trade and other receivables and the nominal value of trade and other payables approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Offshore Target Group for similar financial instruments. Such inputs are categorized into three levels within a fair value hierarchy as follows:
-
(a) Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1).
-
(b) Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2).
-
(c) Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE OFFSHORE TARGET GROUP
5 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 Offshore 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 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.
(a) PRC corporate income taxes and deferred taxation
The Offshore Target Group’s subsidiaries that operate in the PRC are subject to income tax in the PRC. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax and withholding tax on undistributed earnings of PRC subsidiaries. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters (including the effect of change in the dividend policies of PRC subsidiaries) is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such difference is made.
Deferred tax assets relating to certain temporary differences and tax losses are recognized when management considers to be probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences or tax losses can be utilized. The outcome of their actual utilization may be different. Due to the uncertainty of availability of future taxable profit for certain entities, the Offshore Target Group did not recognize respective deferred income tax assets in respect of the accumulated losses, as disclosed in Note 7(a).
(b) PRC land appreciation taxes
The Offshore Target Group is subject to land appreciation taxes (“LAT”) in numerous jurisdictions. 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 Offshore Target Group recognized 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 finalized with local tax authorities.
(c) Estimated net realizable value of properties under development and completed properties held for sale
The Offshore Target Group assesses the carrying amounts of properties under development and completed properties held for sale based on the net realizable 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
— II-27 —
APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE OFFSHORE TARGET GROUP
amounts may not be realized. The assessment requires the use of judgment and estimates of future sale price of the properties. As at 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014, if the estimated future sales prices had been 5% lower, the Offshore Target Group would have recognized further impairment against properties under development and completed properties held for sale and the net profit for the Relevant Periods would have been decreased by RMB0 million, RMB0 million and RMB34 million.

Deferred income tax arose as a result of differences in timing of recognizing certain revenue, costs and expenses between the tax based financial statements and the HKFRS financial statements. This constitutes temporary differences, being the differences between the carrying amounts of the assets or liabilities in the combined balance sheets and their tax bases in accordance with HKAS 12.

| At 31 December 2014 | 1,580 | 990 | 2,570 | 711 | — | 711 | 3,281 |
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 Offshore Target Group did not use any interest rate swaps to hedge its exposure against interest rate risk during the three years ended 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014.

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 2012, 2013 and 2014, the Offshore Target Group’ gearing ratios were 105%, 44% and 37%, respectively.
The project development of the Offshore Target Group was mainly financed by capital contribution from shareholders and borrowings from banks and non-bank financial institutions. The fluctuations of the gearing ratio during the periods were due to the changes of financing structure in line with different stages of project development.
Contingent liabilities
The Offshore Target Group has provided guarantees for certain customers’ bank borrowings for their purchases of the Offshore 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.

The group is in the process of making an assessment of expected impact of the changes in the Companies Ordinance on the combined financial statements in the period of initial application of Part 9 of the new Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622). So far it has concluded that the impact is unlikely to be significant and only the presentation and the disclosure of information in the combined financial statements will be affected.
2.2 Subsidiaries
2.2.1 Consolidation
A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity) over which the management team of the Onshore Target Group has control. The management team controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the management team of the Onshore Target Group. They are de-combined from the date that control ceases.
(a) Under common control combinations
The financial statements have been prepared using the principles of merger accounting, as described in Hong Kong Accounting Guideline 5 “Merger Accounting for Common Control Combinations” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”).

APPENDIX IV ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE ONSHORE TARGET COMPANIES
(b) Other combinations
The Onshore Target Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations except for those under common control by the Company. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Onshore Target Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.
The Onshore Target Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognized amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets.
Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognized in profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Onshore Target Group is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognized in accordance with HKAS 39 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognized and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement
Intra-group transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated. When necessary, amounts reported by subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform with the Onshore Target Group’s accounting policies.
(c) Disposal of subsidiaries
When the Onshore Target Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is re-measured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint ventures or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Onshore Target Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
— IV-16 —
APPENDIX IV ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE ONSHORE TARGET COMPANIES
(d) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control
Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions — that is, as transactions with the owners of the subsidiary in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying amount of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.
2.3 Associates
An associate is an entity over which the 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 recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the investor’s share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. The group’s investments in associates include goodwill identified on acquisition. Upon the acquisition of the ownership interest in an associate, any difference between the cost of the associate and the group’s share of the net fair value of the associate’s identifiable assets and liabilities is accounted for as goodwill.
If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.
The Onshore Target Group’s share of post-acquisition profit or loss is recognized in the income statement, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associates, including any other unsecured receivables, the Onshore Target Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associates.
The Onshore Target Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associates is impaired. If this is the case, the Onshore Target Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associates and its carrying value and recognizes the amount adjacent to “share of profit investments accounted for using equity method” in profit or loss.
Profits and losses resulting from upstream and downstream transactions between the Onshore Target Group and its associates are recognized in the Onshore Target Group’s financial statements only to the extent of unrelated investor’s interests in the associates. Unrealized losses are eliminated unless the transaction 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 Onshore Target Group.
Gain or losses on dilution of equity interest in associates are recognized in profit or loss.
— IV-17 —
APPENDIX IV ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE ONSHORE TARGET COMPANIES
2.4 Joint arrangements
The Onshore Target Group has applied HKFRS 11 to all joint arrangements. Under HKFRS 11 investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and obligations each investor. The Onshore Target Group has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and determined them to be joint ventures. Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.
Under the equity method of accounting, interests in joint ventures are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Onshore Target Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses and movements in other comprehensive income. The Onshore Target Group’s investments in joint ventures include goodwill identified on acquisition. Upon the acquisition of the ownership interest in a joint venture, any difference between the cost of the joint venture and the group’s share of the net fair value of the joint venture’s identifiable assets and liabilities is accounted for as goodwill. When the Onshore Target Group’s share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interests in the joint ventures (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the group’s net investment in the joint ventures), the Onshore Target Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint ventures.
2.5 Foreign currency translation
(a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Onshore Target Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). Since all assets and operations of the Onshore Target Group are located in the PRC, the combined financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is the Onshore Target 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 recognized in the combined 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 profit or loss as other gains and losses.
2.6 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
— IV-18 —
APPENDIX IV ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE ONSHORE TARGET COMPANIES
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Onshore Target Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the profit or loss 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 Leasehold improvements Shorter of 5 years or the lease periods 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.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized in profit or loss as other gains or losses.
2.7 Goodwill
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries represents the excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identified net assets acquired.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of CGUs, or groups of CGUs, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level.
Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The carrying value of the CGU containing the goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs to disposal. Any impairment is recognized immediately as an expense and is not subsequently reversed.
— IV-19 —
APPENDIX IV ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE ONSHORE TARGET COMPANIES
2.8 Intangible assets
Computer software
Costs of the purchases of computer software are recognized as intangible assets and are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives at five years.
2.9 Land use rights
All land in the PRC is state-owned and no individual land ownership right exists. The Onshore 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 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 realizable value.
2.10 Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized 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 of disposal 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). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
2.11 Financial assets
2.11.1 Classification
The Onshore Target Group’s financial assets are loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for the amounts that are settled or expected to be settled than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets. The Onshore Target Group’s loans and receivables comprise trade and other receivables, amounts due from related companies, restricted cash and cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet.
2.11.2 Recognition and measurement
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date — the date on which the Onshore Target Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss is initially recognized at fair
— IV-20 —
APPENDIX IV ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE ONSHORE TARGET COMPANIES
value, and transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Onshore Target Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
2.11.3 Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
2.12 Impairment of financial assets carried at amortized cost
The Onshore Target Group assesses at the end of each year whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a “loss event”) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization, and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
For loans and receivables category, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognized in the combined income statement. If a loan or held- to-maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognized impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
2.13 Properties under development
Properties under development are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value takes into account the price ultimately expected to be realized, less applicable variable selling expenses and anticipated cost to completion.
— IV-21 —
APPENDIX IV ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE ONSHORE TARGET COMPANIES
Development cost of property comprises construction costs, land use rights cost, capitalized borrowing costs and professional fees incurred during the development period. On completion, the properties are transferred to completed properties held for sale.
2.14 Completed properties held for sale
Completed properties remaining unsold as at the balance sheet dates are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
Cost comprises development costs attributable to the unsold properties.
Net realizable 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.
2.15 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 recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.
2.16 Restricted cash
Restricted cash mainly includes guarantee deposits for the Onshore Target Group’s bank loans. For the guarantee deposits for bank loans, the restrictions are released when the Group repays the bank loans.
2.17 Cash and cash equivalents
In the combined statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks.
2.18 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 recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
— IV-22 —
APPENDIX IV ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE ONSHORE TARGET COMPANIES
2.19 Borrowings
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Onshore Target Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the Relevant periods.
2.20 Borrowing costs
General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
2.21 Current and deferred income tax
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the income statement.
(a) Current income tax
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’s 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. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
— IV-23 —
APPENDIX IV ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE ONSHORE TARGET COMPANIES
(b) Deferred income tax
Inside basis differences
Deferred income tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the combined financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized 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 transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction 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 realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
Outside basis differences
Deferred income tax liabilities are 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 the Onshore Target Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized on deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries only to the extent that it is probable the temporary difference will reverse in the future and there is sufficient taxable profit available against which the temporary difference can be utilized.
(c) Offsetting
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.
2.22 Employee benefits
(a) Employee leave entitlement
Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognized when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the balance sheet date.
Employee entitlements to sick leave and maternity leave are not recognized until the time of leave.
— IV-24 —
APPENDIX IV ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE ONSHORE TARGET COMPANIES
(b) Retirement benefits
In accordance with the rules and regulations in the PRC, the PRC based employees of the Onshore Target Group participate in various defined contribution retirement benefit plans organized by the relevant municipal and provincial governments in the PRC under which the Onshore 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 Onshore 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 Onshore Target Group in independently administrated funds managed by the governments.
2.23 Provisions
Provisions for restructuring costs and legal claims are recognized when: the Onshore 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. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
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 recognized 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 recognized as interest expense.
2.24 Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, and represents amounts receivable for goods supplied, stated net of discounts returns and value added taxes. The Onshore Target Group recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured; when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity; and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Onshore Target Group’s activities, as described below. The Onshore Target Group bases its estimates of return on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.
(a) Sales of properties
Revenue from sales of properties is recognized when the risks and rewards of properties are transferred to the purchasers, which is when the construction of relevant properties has been
— IV-25 —
APPENDIX IV ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE ONSHORE TARGET COMPANIES
completed and the properties have been delivered to the purchasers and recoverability of related receivables is reasonably assured. Deposits and installments received on properties sold prior to the date of revenue recognition are included in the combined balance sheets as “Advanced proceeds from customers” under current liabilities.
(b) Interest income
Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. When a loan or receivable is impaired, the Onshore Target 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 recognized using the original effective interest rate.
2.25 Government grants
Grants from the government are recognized at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Onshore Target Group will comply with all attached conditions.
Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognized in the income statement over the year necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.
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.
2.26 Leases
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lesser are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lesser) are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the year of the lease.
2.27 Insurance contracts
An insurance contract is a contract under which one party (the issuer) accepts significant insurance risk from another party (the policyholder) by agreeing to compensate the policyholder if a specific uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects the policyholder. Insurance risk is a pre-existing risk transferred from the policyholder to the insurer, and is significant only if an insured event could cause an insurer to pay significant additional benefits in any scenario, excluding scenarios that lack commercial substance (i.e. have no discernible effect on the economics of the transaction).
The Onshore Target Group regards its financial guarantee contracts provided in respect of mortgage facilities for certain property purchasers and financial guarantee contracts provided to its related parties as insurance contracts.
— IV-26 —
APPENDIX IV ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE ONSHORE TARGET COMPANIES
The Onshore Target Group assesses at each reporting date whether its guarantee insurance liabilities are adequate, using current estimates of future cash flows under its insurance contracts. If that assessment shows that the carrying amount of its insurance liabilities is inadequate in the light of the estimated future cash flow, the entire deficiency is recognized in the combined income statement.
3 Financial risk management
3.1 Financial risk factors
The Onshore 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 Onshore Target Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Onshore Target Group’s financial performance.
Risk management is carried out by the central treasury department (“Group treasury”) of the Onshore Target Group under policies approved by the board of directors. The Onshore 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 Onshore 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 Onshore Target Group has no significant interest-bearing assets, the Onshore Target Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent from changes in market interest rates.
The Onshore Target Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Onshore 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 Onshore Target Group to fair value interest-rate risk. During the Relevant Periods, the Onshore Target Group’s borrowings were all denominated in RMB.
The Onshore Target Group has not used any interest rate swaps to hedge its exposure to interest rate risk.
— IV-27 —
APPENDIX IV ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE ONSHORE TARGET COMPANIES
The table below sets out the Onshore Target Group’s exposure to interest rate risks. Included in the tables are the liabilities at carrying amounts, categorized by maturity dates.
| RMB’ million Borrowings At 31 December 2012 At 31 December 2013 At 31 December 2014 |
Floating rates Less than 1 year 1 to 5 years Subtotal 3,313 — 3,313 — 470 470 100 2,845 2,945 |
Less than 1 year 593 668 1,095 |
Fixed rates 1 to 5 Years Subtotal 645 1,238 1,400 2,068 — 1,095 |
Total 4,551 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2,538 | ||||
| 4,040 |
As at 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014, if the interest rates on borrowings had been 100 basis points higher/lower with all other variables held constant, for the Relevant Period, the post-tax profit would have been lower/higher by RMB13.7 million, RMB0 million and RMB3.4 million and capitalized interest would have been higher/lower by RMB18.2 million, RMB6.5 million and RMB25.7 million respectively.
The Onshore Target Group also analyses its interest rate exposure monthly by considering refinancing, renewal of existing positions and alternative financing.
(b) Credit risk
The Onshore Target Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum extent of the Group’s credit exposure in relation to financial assets is represented by the aggregate balance of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other receivable, amount due from related companies included in the combined balance sheets. Cash transactions are limited to high-credit-quality banks. The Onshore Target Group has policies in place to ensure that sales of properties are made to customers with an appropriate financial strength and appropriate percentage of down payment. Credit is granted to customers with sufficient financial strength. It also has continuous monitoring procedures to ensure the collection of the receivables as scheduled and follow up action is taken to recover overdue debts, if any.
(c) Liquidity risk
Management aims to maintain sufficient cash to meet funding requirement for operations and monitor rolling forecasts of the Onshore Target Group’s cash on the basis of expected cash flow.
The Onshore Target Group has a number of alternative plans to mitigate the potential impacts on anticipated cash flows should there be significant adverse changes in economic environment. These include adjusting and further slowing down the construction progress as appropriate to ensure
— IV-28 —
APPENDIX IV ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE ONSHORE TARGET COMPANIES
available resources for the development of properties for sale, implementing cost control measures, accelerating sales with more flexible pricing and issuing senior notes. The Onshore Target Group, will base on its assessment of the relevant future costs and benefits, pursue such options as are appropriate. The directors consider that the Onshore Target Group will be able to maintain sufficient financial resources to meet its operation needs.
Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Onshore Target Group’s central treasury department maintains flexibility in funding by its ability to move cash and cash equivalents between different entities through entrusted loan arrangements.
The table below analyses the Onshore Target Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity grouping based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

3.2 Capital risk management
The Onshore Target Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for equity holders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Onshore Target Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to equity holders, return capital to equity holders, or sell assets to reduce debt.

APPENDIX IV ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE ONSHORE TARGET COMPANIES
Consistent with others in the industry, the Onshore Target Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total equity. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including current and non-current borrowings as shown in the combined balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash).
The gearing ratios of the Onshore Target Group as at 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014 were as follows:
| Total borrowings Restricted cash Cash and cash equivalents Net debts Total equity Gearing ratio |
2012 RMB’000 4,550,552 (389,141) (1,278,659) 2,882,752 2,977,528 97% |
31 December 2013 RMB’000 2,537,807 (4,867) (3,510,976) (978,036) 3,529,698 NA |
2014 RMB’000 4,039,986 (260,851) (4,956,050) (1,176,915) 4,116,900 NA |
|---|---|---|---|
The directors are of the view that the Onshore Target Group’s gearing ratio is healthy.
4 Fair value estimation
The carrying value less impairment provisions of trade and other receivables and the nominal value of trade and other payables approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Onshore Target Group for similar financial instruments. Such inputs are categorized into three levels within a fair value hierarchy as follows:
-
(a) Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1).
-
(b) Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2).
-
(c) Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).
5 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.
— IV-30 —
APPENDIX IV ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE ONSHORE TARGET COMPANIES
The Onshore 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 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.
(a) PRC corporate income taxes and deferred taxation
The Onshore Target Group’s subsidiaries that operate in the PRC are subject to income tax in the PRC. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax and withholding tax on undistributed earnings of PRC subsidiaries. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters (including the effect of change in the dividend policies of PRC subsidiaries) is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such difference is made.
Deferred tax assets relating to certain temporary differences and tax losses are recognized when management considers to be probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences or tax losses can be utilized. The outcome of their actual utilization may be different. Due to the uncertainty of availability of future taxable profit for certain entities, the Onshore Target Group did not recognize respective deferred income tax assets in respect of the accumulated losses, as disclosed in Note 9(a).
(b) PRC land appreciation taxes
The Onshore Target Group is subject to land appreciation taxes (“LAT”) in numerous jurisdictions. 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 Onshore Target Group recognized 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 finalized with local tax authorities.
(c) Estimated net realizable value of properties under development and completed properties held for sale
The Onshore Target Group assesses the carrying amounts of properties under development and completed properties held for sale based on the net realizable 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 realized. The assessment requires the use of judgment and estimates of future sale price of the properties. As at 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014, if the estimated future sales prices had been 5% lower, the Onshore Target Group would have not recognized impairment against properties under development and completed properties held for sale.

Upon the completion of the Transactions, the Company will effectively acquire the equity interests in the Targets held by Greentown China, the non-controlling interests of the Group, by paying the considerations to the Vendors. The Transactions are considered as transactions with non-controlling interests, and the difference between the carrying amounts of interests in the Targets attributable to the non-controlling interests and the fair value of the consideration paid shall be recorded in the equity of the Group.
As the consideration for the Transaction was determined after the distribution of Pre-acquisition Dividend, in the preparation of Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, we have taken into account all the Pre-acquisition Dividend to be declared by individual companies comprising the Offshore Target Group and Onshore Target Group. The dividends from subsidiaries to the intragroup equity holders are eliminated upon consolidation, and the adjustments only include the dividends declared by subsidiaries to the non-controlling interests, and by a joint venture to Shanghai Sunac Greentown.

- c. The 50% of the consideration for the Transactions payable to the Vendors, attributable to the acquisition of interests held by Greentown China in the Targets exceeds the carrying amounts of the net assets of the Targets held by the non-controlling interests. As a result, the Transactions will increase the non-controlling interests, with an equivalent amount of reduction in the equity attributable to owners of the Company.
The adjustment reflects the decrease in equity attributable to owners of the Company approximately of RMB911,818,000 and the increase in non-controlling interests approximately of RMB911,818,000 as at 31 December 2014, as if the Transactions had taken place on 31 December 2014.
The calculation of the decrease in equity attributable to owners of the Company and increase in non-controlling interests is as follows:
| Total Considerations: Equity Consideration of Onshore Target Group Equity Consideration of Offshore Target Group Debt Consideration of Offshore Target Group Debt Consideration of Onshore Target Group Consideration attributable to the acquisition of 50% equity interests and certain debts (the “Debts”) of the Targets held by Greentown China Less: Carrying value of net assets of the Targets and the Debts to be transferred held by non-controlling interests shareholder as at 31 December 2014 Excess over the carrying value recorded in equity |

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANT’S ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION INCLUDED IN A CIRCULAR
TO THE DIRECTORS OF SUNAC CHINA HOLDINGS LIMITED
We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of unaudited pro forma financial information of Sunac China Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”) by the directors for illustrative purposes only. The unaudited pro forma financial information consists of the unaudited pro forma balance sheet as at 31 December 2014 and related notes (the “Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information”) as set out on pages VI-1 to VI-9 of the Company’s circular dated 11 June 2015 (the “Circular”), in connection with the proposed acquisition of Offshore Target Group and Onshore Target Companies as defined in page 3 of the Circular (the “Transaction”) by the Company. The applicable criteria on the basis of which the directors have compiled the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information are described on pages VI-1.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled by the directors to illustrate the impact of the Transaction on the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2014 as if the Transaction had taken place at 31 December 2014. As part of this process, information about the Group’s financial position has been extracted by the directors from the Group’s financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014, on which an audit report has been published.

16/F Jardine House 1 Connaught Place Central Hong Kong 11 June 2015
The Directors Sunac China Holdings Ltd. 10th Floor, Building C7 Magnetic Plaza Binsuixi Road Nankai District Tianjin The People’s Republic of China
Dear Sirs,
Instructions, Purpose & Valuation date
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 March 2015 (the “valuation date”).
Definition of Market Value
Our valuation of each of the properties represents its market value which in accordance with The HKIS Valuation Standards 2012 Edition published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors is defined as “the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.
Valuation Basis and Assumptions
Our valuations exclude any 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.
— VII-1 —
APPENDIX VII
VALUATION REPORT
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 and Share Repurchases of Securities and Future Commission and the HKIS Valuation Standards 2012 Edition 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 JT & N Law Firm, the Group�s legal advisor, 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 grantees 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 advisor.
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 transaction 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 approximately RMB8,083 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.
— VII-2 —
APPENDIX VII
VALUATION REPORT
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 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 comparables sales transactions as available in the relevant market.
In valuing 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 Method 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 “market value when completed” represents our opinion of the aggregate selling prices of the development assuming that it were completed as at the valuation date.
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 Shanghai Sunac Greentown Investment Holdings Ltd. (referred to as Shanghai Sunac Greentown) 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 VII
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 valuers Jenny Liang, Rick Sun, David Zhu, Jack Wang, Kevin Xu and Jack Sun, Tianjin Office valuer Joey Chen inspected the exterior and, whenever possible, the interior of the properties in 2015. 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 valuations and our valuation certificates.
Yours faithfully,
