LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company announced on 29 November 2016 that Sunac (Qingdao) Real Estate Company Limited, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as the Purchaser, succeeded in the bid for the entire equity interest in Qingdao Calxon Real Estate Development Company Limited, as the Target Company, through the Zhejiang Asset Exchange. On 29 November 2016, the Purchaser entered into the Equity Transfer Agreement with Calxon Group (Shanghai) Limited Company, as the Vendor, pursuant to which the Purchaser agreed to acquire, and the Vendor agreed to sell, the entire equity interest in the Target Company at a consideration of RMB3,662,000,000. In connection with the Equity Transfer Agreement, the Guarantor provided the Guarantee in favour of the Vendor in respect of the shareholder loans owed by the Target Company to the Vendor and its related parties in the amount of RMB2,347,153,200, and the Counter Guarantee in favour of the Vendor Related Parties in respect of the loans owed by the Target Company to the Relevant Lenders in the principal amount of RMB1,850,000,000.

This circular is despatched to the shareholders of the Company for information purposes only. No general meeting will be convened to approve the Acquisition and the provision of the Guarantee and the Counter Guarantee as the Company had obtained written approval for the Acquisition and the provision of the Guarantee and the Counter Guarantee in accordance with Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules from the controlling shareholders of the Company, namely Mr. Sun and Sunac International, a company wholly owned by Mr. Sun, who collectively held 2,052,713,884 shares of the Company, representing approximately 53.22% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of such written approval. In addition, to the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, after having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the shareholders of the Company had any material interest in the Acquisition and the provision of the Guarantee and the Counter Guarantee and therefore no shareholder of the Company would be required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a general meeting for approving the Acquisition and the provision of the Guarantee and the Counter Guarantee.

The Acquisition was completed on 29 December 2016. Upon completion of the Acquisition, the Target Company became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and its financial results, assets and liabilities have been consolidated into the financial results, assets and liabilities of the Group.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, (i) further details of the Acquisition and the provision of the Guarantee and the Counter Guarantee; (ii) financial information of the Group; and (iii) financial information of the Target Company; (iv) the valuation report on the Qingdao Shidai City Project; and (v) other information as required under the Listing Rules.

Parties :

  • (i) the Purchaser, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; and

  • (ii) the Vendor.

— 5 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, after having made all reasonable enquiries, each of the Vendor and its substantial shareholders (as defined in the Listing Rules) is independent of the Company and connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company.

Assets to be acquired

Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement, the Purchaser agreed to acquire the entire equity interest in the Target Company from the Vendor.

Consideration

The Consideration payable by the Purchaser for the Acquisition was RMB3,662,000,000.

  • (ii) the remaining balance of RMB1,831,000,000 shall be paid within twelve months after the date of the Equity Transfer Agreement.

The Purchaser had paid the First Instalment pursuant to the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement.

The fair value of net assets of the Target Company adjusted by valuation as at 28 February 2017 was RMB3,657,170,000. Having considered the fact that the Consideration represents only a 0.13% premium over the net asset value (adjusted by valuation) of the Target Company and the reasons and benefits set out below in the paragraph headed “ REASONS AND BENEFIT ” below, the Directors are of the view that the Consideration is fair and reasonable and is in the interest of the Company and the shareholders of the Company as a whole.

The Consideration had been funded by internal resources of the Group.

Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement, after full payment of the First Instalment by the Purchaser, receipt of an equity transaction certificate(產權交易憑證), and execution of the Guarantee Agreement, the Vendor shall procure the Target Company to complete the registration procedure for the change of shareholding before 31 December 2016.

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE ACQUISITION

Upon completion of the Acquisition, the Target Company became an indirectly wholly- owned subsidiary of the Company, and the financial results, assets and liabilities of the Target Company have been consolidated into the financial results, assets and liabilities of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2016.

— 9 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Based on the annual report of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2016, as at 31 December 2016, the Group, together with the Target Company, had total assets, total liabilities and net assets of approximately RMB293,183.1 million, RMB257,771.9 million and RMB35,411.2 million respectively.

Based on the projected trend of the future profit of the Target Company, the Directors believe that the Acquisition would have a positive impact on the earnings of the Group. It is expected that the Acquisition would enhance the Group’s business development and broaden the Group’s earnings base. As the Guarantor has provided the Guarantee and the Counter Guarantee, the Directors believe that the transactions contemplated under the Guarantee Agreement and the Counter Guarantee Agreement would have negative impact to the cashflow but would have no material impact on the gearing ratio of the Group.

REASONS AND BENEFIT

The Company has always adhered to the regional focus development strategy and has laid out its strategic plan in tier 1 cities, surrounding cities of tier 1 cities and core cities in the PRC. Qingdao is located in the southeast coast of Shandong Peninsula, and is in the first batch of coastal open cities. In the recent years, the supply of land in Qingdao has been greatly reduced and the supply of land in the main urban area is even more scarce. At the same time, the population and the number of newborns have evidently increased, creating a huge demand for improved living and strong motivation for rising housing prices. The Company is optimistic about the development prospect of the real estate market in Qingdao. The Qingdao Shidai City Project is currently a relatively large residential project in Qingdao city area, with a superior geographical location and sufficient room for increase in the housing price.The entering into of the Equity Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder would further increase the Group’s land reserves and market share in Qingdao.

Based on the foregoing, the Directors consider the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement, the Guarantee Agreement and the Counter Guarantee Agreement are normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Acquisition and the provision of the Guarantee and the Counter Guarantee, when aggregated, exceeds 25% and all of such ratios are less than 100%, the Acquisition and the provision of the Guarantee and the Counter Guarantee, when aggregated, constitute a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and are subject to the reporting, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements pursuant to Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

WRITTEN SHAREHOLDERS’ APPROVAL

Pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules, in lieu of a resolution to be passed at a general meeting of the Company, written shareholders’ approval for the Acquisition and the provision of the Guarantee and the Counter Guarantee had been obtained from the controlling shareholders of the Company, namely Mr. Sun and Sunac International, a company wholly owned by Mr. Sun, who collectively held 2,052,713,884 shares of the Company, representing approximately 53.22% of the

— 10 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

issued share capital of the Company as at the date of such written approval. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, after having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the shareholders of the Company had any material interest in the Acquisition or the provision of the Guarantee or the Counter Guarantee and therefore no shareholder was required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene an extraordinary general meeting for the approval of the Acquisition and the provision of the Guarantee and the Counter Guarantee.

If the Company were to convene an extraordinary general meeting for the approval of the Acquisition and the provision of the Guarantee and the Counter Guarantee and voting was required, the Directors would have recommended the Shareholders to vote in favour of such resolutions based on the reasons set out in this letter.

The Company is not aware of any material adverse change in the financial or trading position of the Group since 31 December 2016, being the date to which the latest published audited financial statements of the Company were made up.

4. WORKING CAPITAL

The Directors are of the opinion that, after taking into account the financial resources available to the Group including the available credit facilities and the Group’s internally generated funds and the cash flow impact of the transactions contemplated under the Equity Transfer Agreement, the Guarantee Agreement and the Counter Guarantee Agreement, the Group will have sufficient working capital to satisfy its requirements for at least 12 months from the date of publication of this circular.

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

Upon completion of the Acquisition, the Company held the entire equity interest in the Target Company. The Group will continue to insist on the strategy of regional in-depth development to further consolidate and develop its market position and influence in the existing regions and cities. On the other hand, the Group will continue to focus on the development and management of high-end properties and focus on building high-end premium properties for customers in a persistent way. Based on the projected trend of the future profit of the Target Company, the Directors believe that the Acquisition would have a positive impact on the earnings of the Group. It is expected that the Acquisition would enhance the Group’s business development and broaden the Group’s earnings base.

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

II NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1 GENERAL INFORMATION

Qingdao Calxon is a limited liability company established on 4 September 2009 in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) and principally engaged in the businesses of real estate property development in Qingdao, the PRC. The address of its registered office is No. 568-4, Middle Heilongjiang Road, Licang District, Qingdao City, Shandong Province, the PRC.

Pursuant to the equity transfer agreement (the “Agreement”) entered between Calxon Group (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (the “Vendor” or “Calxon Shanghai”) and Sunac Real Estate (Qingdao) Co., Ltd. (“Sunac Qingdao”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company on 29 November 2016, Sunac Qingdao agreed to acquire and the Vendor agreed to sell the entire equity interests in Qingdao Calxon held by the Vendor. As of the date of the Agreement, Calxon Shanghai was the sole equity holder of Qingdao Calxon.

The statutory financial statements of Qingdao Calxon for the years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015, were audited by Zhongxingcai Guanghua Certified Public Accountants LLP.

The Financial Information is presented in thousand unit of Renminbi (“RMB”), unless otherwise stated.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

2.1 Basis of preparation

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the financial statements of Qingdao Calxon, which are in accordance with the HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA, are set out below. The financial information has been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The preparation of the financial information 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 Qingdao Calxon’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial information are disclosed in Note 5.

— II-7 —

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

2.1.1 Changes in accounting policy and disclosures

Standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that are effective during the Relevant Periods have been adopted and applied by Qingdao Calxon consistently throughout the Relevant Periods.

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 2016 and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these is expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of Qingdao Calxon, except the following set out below:

HKFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities, introduces new rules for hedge accounting and a new impairment model for financial assets. The standard does not need to be applied until 1 January 2018 but is available for early adoption. Qingdao Calxon is currently assessing whether it should adopt HKFRS 9 before its mandatory date.

While Qingdao Calxon has yet to undertake a detailed assessment of the classification and measurement of financial assets, ‘trade and other receivables’ would appear to satisfy the conditions for classification as at amortized costs and hence there will be no change to the accounting for these assets. Accordingly Qingdao Calxon does not expect the new guidance to have a significant impact on the classification and measurement of its financial assets.

There will be no impact on Qingdao Calxon’s accounting for financial liabilities, as the new requirements only affect the accounting for financial liabilities that are designated at fair value through profit or loss and Qingdao Calxon does not have any such liabilities. The derecognition rules have been transferred from HKAS 39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ and have not been changed.

The new impairment model requires the recognition of impairment provisions based on expected credit losses rather than only incurred credit losses as is the case under HKAS 39. It applies to financial assets classified at amortised cost, debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, contract assets under HKFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’, lease receivables, loan commitments and certain financial guarantee contracts. While Qingdao Calxon has not yet undertaken a detailed assessment of how its impairment provisions would be affected by the new model, it may result in earlier recognition of credit losses.

The new standard also introduces expanded disclosure requirements and changes in presentation. These are expected to change the nature and extent of Qingdao Calxon’s disclosures about its financial instruments particularly in the year of the adoption of the new standard.

HKFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ has been issued by the HKICPA as a new standard for the recognition of revenue. This will replace HKAS 18 which covers revenue arising from the sale of goods and the rendering of services and HKAS 11 which covers construction contracts.

— II-8 —

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognized when control of a good or service transfers to a customer.

The standard permits either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach for the adoption. The new standard is effective for first interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, and will allow early adoption.

At this stage, Qingdao Calxon is not able to estimate the effect of the new rules on Qingdao Calxon’s financial information. Qingdao Calxon will make more detailed assessments of the effect over the next twelve months. Qingdao Calxon does not expect to adopt the new standard before 1 January 2018.

HKFRS 16, ‘Leases’ addresses the definition of a lease, recognition and measurement of leases and establishes principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the leasing activities of both lessees and lessors. A key change arising from HKFRS 16 is that most operating leases will be accounted for on balance sheet for lessees. The standard replaces HKAS 17 ‘Leases’, and related interpretations. An entity shall apply HKFRS 16 for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 and earlier application is permitted subject to the entity adopting HKFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ at the same time.

Management is currently assessing the effects of applying the new standard on Qingdao Calxon’s financial information and at this stage, Qingdao Calxon is not able to estimate the effect of the new rules on Qingdao Calxon’s financial statements. Qingdao Calxon will make more detailed assessments of the effect over the next twelve months. Qingdao Calxon does not expect to adopt the new standard before 1 January 2019.

There are no other HKFRSs or HK(IFRIC) interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on Qingdao Calxon.

2.2 Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the Financial Information of Qingdao Calxon are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The Financial Information is presented in RMB, which is the functional and presentation currency of Qingdao Calxon.

2.3 Property, plant and equipment

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

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

— II-9 —

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

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 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 (Note 2.5).

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized within ‘other income and gains’ or ‘other expenses and losses’ in the income statement.

2.4 Land use rights

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

Land use rights which are held for development for sale are inventories and measured at lower of cost and net realisable value.

2.5 Impairment of non-financial assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life, for example goodwill, are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. 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 recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (CGUs). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

2.6 Financial assets

2.6.1 Classification

The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Qingdao Calxon classifies its financial assets in the category of loans and receivables. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

— II-10 —

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

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. Qingdao Calxon’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.

2.6.2 Recognition and measurement

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade-date — the date on which Qingdao Calxon commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and Qingdao Calxon has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.6.3 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 recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise 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 Qingdao Calxon or the counterparty.

2.7 Impairment of financial assets carried at amortized cost

Qingdao Calxon assesses at the end of each reporting period 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 reorganisation, 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 profit

— II-11 —

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

or loss. If a loan 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, Qingdao Calxon 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 profit or loss.

2.8 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.

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.

2.9 Completed properties held for sale

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

2.10 Construction contracts

A construction contract is defined by HKAS 11, ‘Construction contracts’, as a contract specifically negotiated for the construction of an asset .

When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably and it is probable that the contract will be profitable, contract revenue is recognised over the period of the contract by reference to the stage of completion. Contract costs are recognised as expenses by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting period. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

— II-12 —

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable.

Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included in contract revenue to the extent that may have been agreed with the customer and are capable of being reliably measured.

Qingdao Calxon uses the ‘percentage-of-completion’ method to determine the appropriate amount to recognize in a given period. The stage of completion is measured by reference to the contract costs incurred up to the end of the reporting period as a percentage of total estimated costs for each contract. Costs incurred in the year in connection with future activity on a contract are excluded from contract costs in determining the stage of completion.

On the balance sheet, Qingdao Calxon reports the net contract position for each contract as either an asset or a liability. A contract represents an asset where costs incurred plus recognised profits (less recognized losses) exceed progress billings; a contract represents a liability where the opposite is the case.

2.11 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.

2.12 Cash and cash equivalents

In the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

2.13 Paid-up capital

Capital contributed by the equity holders is classified as equity.

2.14 Trade payables

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables 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.

APPENDIX II

2.15 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 removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or finance costs.

Where the terms of a financial liability are renegotiated and the entity issues equity instruments to a creditor to extinguish all or part of the liability (debt for equity swap), a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss, which is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability and the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless Qingdao Calxon has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

2.16 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.

2.17 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 PRC. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in

— II-14 —

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

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.

(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 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.

(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.

2.18 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 Qingdao Calxon participate in various defined contribution retirement benefit plans organized by the relevant municipal and provincial governments in the PRC under which Qingdao Calxon and the PRC based employees are required to make monthly contributions to these plans calculated as a percentage of the employees’ salaries.

— II-15 —

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

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, Qingdao Calxon 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 Qingdao Calxon in independently administrated funds managed by the governments.

(c) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by Qingdao Calxon before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. Qingdao Calxon recognises termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: (a) when Qingdao Calxon can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and (b) when the entity recognises costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of HKAS 37 and involves the payment of termination benefits. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to their present value.

2.19 Provisions

Provisions for legal claims are recognized when: Qingdao Calxon 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.

— II-16 —

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

2.20 Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, and represents amounts receivable for goods supplied or services provided, stated net of discounts, returns and value added taxes. Qingdao Calxon 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 Qingdao Calxon’s activities, as described below. Qingdao Calxon 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 completed and property transfer notice has been delivered to the purchase pursuant to the sales agreement and recoverability of related receivables is reasonably assured. Deposits and instalments received on properties sold prior to the date of revenue recognition are included in the balance sheets as “Advanced proceeds from customers” within current liabilities.

(b) Construction contracts

When the outcome of a fixed price construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue is recognized on the percentage of completion method, measured by reference to the proportion that costs incurred to date to estimated total costs for each contract, after making due allowances for contingencies. Provisions are made for any foreseeable losses when they are identified. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent that the amount can be measured reliably and its receipt is considered probable.

(c) Interest income

Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. When a loan or receivable is impaired, Qingdao Calxon 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.

2.21 Leases

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

3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

3.1 Financial risk factors

Qingdao Calxon’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk ( mainly the cash flow and fair value interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Qingdao Calxon’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on Qingdao Calxon’s financial performance. Risk management is carried out by the management team of Qingdao Calxon.

(a) Market risk

(i) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

Qingdao Calxon’s interest rate risk arises from borrowings, interest-bearing other payables and interest-bearing amounts due to related parties. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose Qingdao Calxon to cash flow interest-rate risk which is partially offset by cash held at variable rates. Borrowings, other payables and amounts due to related parties at fixed rates expose Qingdao Calxon to fair value interest-rate risk.

Qingdao Calxon has not used any interest rate swaps to hedge its exposure to interest rate risk.

The table below sets out Qingdao Calxon’s exposure to interest rate risks. Included in the tables are the liabilities at carrying amounts, categorized by maturity dates.

As at 31 December 2014, 2015 and 2016, if the interest rates on borrowings had been 100 basis points higher/lower with all other variables held constant, the post-tax loss for the year would have been higher/lower by RMB0.6 million, RMB1.1 million and RMB1.2 million respectively, as a result of higher/lower interest expense on floating rate borrowings.

APPENDIX II

(b) Credit risk

Qingdao Calxon has no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum extent of Qingdao Calxon’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, amounts due from related parties included in the consolidated balance sheets. Cash transactions are limited to high-credit-quality banks. Qingdao Calxon 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 Qingdao Calxon have arranged bank financing for their purchases of the properties. Qingdao Calxon has 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.

(c) Liquidity risk

Management aims to maintain sufficient cash to meet funding requirement for operations and monitor rolling forecasts of Qingdao Calxon’s cash on the basis of expected cash flow.

3.2 Capital risk management

Qingdao Calxon’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for equity holders.

Qingdao Calxon actively and regularly reviews and manages its capital structure to ensure an optimal capital structure and equity holder returns, taking into consideration the future capital requirements of Qingdao Calxon and capital efficiency, project operating cash flows and projected capital expenditures.

— II-20 —

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

Consistent with others in the industry, Qingdao Calxon 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 balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash).

The gearing ratios of Qingdao Calxon as at 31 December 2014, 2015, 2016 were as follows:

4 FAIR VALUE ESTIMATION

The different levels regarding fair value determination have been defined as follows:

  • Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1).

  • 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).

  • Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).

The carrying amounts of Qingdao Calxon’s financial assets and financial liabilities approximated their fair values.

The fair value of the financial guarantee is considered not to be significant.

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

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.

Qingdao Calxon makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal actual results. The estimates and assumptions that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

(a) PRC corporate income taxes and deferred taxation

Qingdao Calxon is primarily subject to various PRC taxes, as it is engaged in property development in the PRC. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Qingdao Calxon recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred income tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

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

(b) Estimated net realizable value of properties under development and completed properties held for sale

Qingdao Calxon assesses the carrying amounts of properties under development and completed properties held for sale based on the net realisable value of these properties, taking into account costs to completion based on past experience and net sales value based on prevailing market conditions. Provision is made when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be realised. The assessment requires the use of judgement and estimates. If the management changes the estimated selling price and the estimated costs and expenses to completion, the estimated net realizable value would be affected; such difference will impact the provisions of inventories which have been recognized.

— II-22 —

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

(c) Revenue recognition for sales of properties

Qingdao Calxon has recognised revenue from the sale of properties held for sale. The assessment of when an entity has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to purchasers requires the examination of the circumstances of the transaction. In most cases, the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership coincides with the date when the equitable interest in the property vests with the purchasers upon release of the respective property to the purchasers.

Qingdao Calxon provides guarantees in respect of mortgage facilities granted by certain banks relating to the mortgage loans arranged for certain purchasers of Qingdao Calxon’s properties. These guarantees will expire when relevant property ownership certificates are mortgaged to banks by the purchasers. In order to obtain mortgage loans, the purchasers need to settle certain percentage of the total contract amount in accordance with related PRC regulations upon delivery of the properties. The directors of Qingdao Calxon are of the opinion that such settlements provide sufficient evidence of the purchasers’ commitment to honour contractual obligation of the bank loans. In addition, based on past experiences, there were no significant defaults of mortgage facilities by the purchasers resulting in the calling of the bank guarantees provided. Accordingly, the directors believe that significant risks and rewards associated to the ownership of the properties have been transferred to the purchasers.

(d) Percentage of completion of construction works

Qingdao Calxon recognises the revenue according to the percentage of completion of the individual contract of construction works. The percentage of completion is determined by the aggregated cost for the individual contract incurred at the end of the reporting period compared with the estimated budgeted cost. Management’s estimation of the cost incurred to date and the budgeted cost is primarily based on construction budget and actual cost report prepared by internal quantity surveyors, where applicable. Corresponding revenue from contract work is also estimated by management based on the percentage of completion and budgeted revenue. Because of the nature of the activities undertaken in construction contracts, the date at which the contract activity is entered into and the date when the activity is completed usually fall into different accounting periods. Qingdao Calxon regularly reviews and revises the estimation of both contract revenue and contract cost in the budget prepared for each construction contract as the contract progresses.

Qingdao Calxon provided substitute construction service for a Qingdao government investment project. The past due receivables amounted to RMB12 million, RMB391 million, RMB391 million, respectively as at 31 December 2014, 2015 and 2016. The project was completed in 2015, and Qingdao Calxon is making final settlement with the government. The directors of the Company are of the view that this past due receivable from the government would be collected after the final settlement and no provision was made as at 31 December 2014, 2015 and 2016. Besides the substitute construction fee, the remaining past due trade receivables almost relate to numbers of independent customers for whom there is no recent history of default.

(b) As at 31 December 2014, 2015 and 2016, other receivables are mainly deposits for land bidding and expenses paid on behalf of local government, which are interest free and repayable on demand.

Guarantees in respect of mortgage facilities for
certain purchasers of Qingdao Calxon’s property
units 226,525 595,715 496,072

Qingdao Calxon has arranged bank financing for certain purchasers of its property units and provided guarantees to secure obligations of such purchasers for repayments.

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

Mr. Hanson Han, our Qingdao office valuer, inspected the exterior and, whenever possible, the interior of the properties on 13 January 2016. Mr. Hanson Han has about 6 years’ experience in property valuation in the PRC. However, we have not carried out investigations on site to determine the suitability of the ground conditions and the services etc. for any future development. Our valuation is prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and that no unexpected costs or delays will be incurred during the construction period. 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.
