Dear Sir and Madam,

MAJOR AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION IN RELATION TO THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement dated 18 September 2013 issued by the Company in relation to the Proposed Acquisition.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, the details of the Proposed Acquisition, to set our recommendation of the Independent Board Committee and the letter of advice from the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the terms of the Proposed Acquisition and to give the Shareholders the notice of SGM and other information required by the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED ACQUISITION

On 18 September 2013, the Purchaser, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Sale and Purchase Agreement with Talent Trend pursuant to which the Purchaser has conditionally agreed to acquire, and Talent Trend has conditionally agreed to sell, the entire issued share capital of the Target.

PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Date:

18 September 2013 (after trading hours)

Parties:

  • (i) the Purchaser; and

  • (ii) Talent Trend, as the Vendor.

Mr. Zhang is the sole shareholder of Talent Trend and the ultimate beneficial owner of the Target Group. Talent Trend is principally engaged in investment holding. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Zhang through Talent Trend holds Convertible Notes of face value HK$2,374.85 million and personally holds approximately 0.3% issued share capital of the Company.

Subject asset

The Target is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability and principally engaged in investment holding. The principal asset of the Target Group is the Property, a parcel of land together with a 2-storey commercial building built over a 3-level basement thereon in Guangzhou, the PRC. Further particulars about the Target Group are set out in the section headed ‘‘Information on the Target Group’’ below.

Consideration

The consideration for the Proposed Acquisition is RMB307 million (equivalent to approximately HK$387.7 million) which was arrived at after negotiations on an arm’s length commercial basis between the parties to the Sale and Purchase Agreement with reference to, among others, the unaudited net asset value of the Target Group adjusted with the valuation of the Property based on its existing state of RMB656 million as at 31 July 2013. Pursuant to the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the consideration for the Proposed Acquisition shall be satisfied by the Purchaser upon Completion through setting off the equivalent amount from the Repayment Obligation undertaken by Talent Trend.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Conditions precedent

Completion of the Proposed Acquisition is conditional upon the satisfaction of, among others:

  • (a) the approval of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder by Independent Shareholders at the SGM pursuant to the Listing Rules;

  • (b) all necessary licenses, permits, consents, approvals, authorisations, reliefs, orders and waives required to be obtained by the Vendor, Purchaser and the Target Group respectively in relation to the signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder having been obtained; and

  • (c) all necessary licenses, permits, consents, approvals, authorisations, reliefs, orders and waives of any relevant government agencies or regulatory authorities in Hong Kong, the PRC, Bermuda and British Virgin Islands and other relevant third parties application in relation to the Sale and Purchase Agreement having been filed or obtained; and (if required) all applicable statutory and other legal obligations having been compiled with.

Both the Vendor and the Purchaser shall fulfill or procure to fulfill the conditions precedent set out in the Sale and Purchase Agreement on or before 31 December 2013, or such other date as may be agreed by the Vendor and the Purchaser from time to time.

Completion

Completion shall take place on the seventh business day when the conditions precedent set out in the Sale and Purchase Agreement have been either fulfilled or waived by the Purchaser or on such other date as may be agreed by the Vendor and the Purchaser.

BACKGROUND ABOUT THE REPAYMENT OBLIGATION

When Talent Trend and the Purchaser entered into the Previous Acquisition Agreement, a mortgage over a hotel project, which subsequently developed into the Group’s Hilton Tianhe Hotel, was executed by one of the target company as mortgagor in favour of the lending bank with outstanding amount of approximately RMB380 million (the ‘‘Hotel Mortgage’’).

Under the Previous Acquisition Agreement, Talent Trend undertook to the Purchaser that it would be responsible for payment of all outstanding amounts under the Hotel Mortgage and shall make full repayment of the same and procure the release of the Hotel Mortgage within 16 months of the date of the Previous Acquisition Agreement. At the same time, it was agreed by Talent Trend to further pledged Convertible Notes with principal amount of HK$440 million to the Purchaser for such Repayment Obligation. As at the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Repayment Obligation is still outstanding.

As discussed in the section ‘‘Information on the Target Group’’ below, the Group entered into two leasing agreements with the Target Group, each for a period of six months ended 4 March 2013 and 5 September 2013, with a view to assess the occupancy rate, location and

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

potential value of the Property as a leasee first. After due consideration on the potential value of the Property, the Board considers it is a good opportunity to acquire the Target Group. By settling off RMB307 million from the Repayment Obligation, the Directors are of the opinion that the Group can preserve a substantial amount of cash while acquire an investment property which is expected to provide a stable income stream to the Group with growth potential and diversify its property portfolio upon completion of reconstruction and redevelopment works.

Immediately after setting off the consideration of RMB307 million under the Sale and Purchase Agreement against the Repayment Obligation, it is the intention of Talent Trend, as agreed by the Company, to settle the balance of the Repayment Obligation by cancelling equivalent carrying amount of Convertible Notes with reference to the latest valuation pursuant to the Previous Acquisition Agreement, which has been pledged with the Company to secure the Repayment Obligation.

INFORMATION ON THE TARGET GROUP

The Target is principally engaged in investment holding and the Property is the principal asset under the Target Group.

Mark World is incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability and principally engaged in investment holding.

Yijie is incorporated in the PRC with limited liability and principally engaged in investment holding. According to its business license, provision of cleaning services is one of Yijie’s business activities. However, Yijie has no longer engaged in any clean related business and no revenue has been generated for Yijie since 2011. The Group has no intention to develop the cleaning services business.

Liwan Qi Pei is incorporated in the PRC with limited liability and principally engaged in property investment and holds the Property.

The Property is located at No. 18 Zhan Xi Road, Liwan District, Guangzhou, the PRC, the center of a commercial area commonly known as Zhan Xi Shoe Market (‘‘站西鞋城’’). Zhan Xi Shoe Market is one of the earliest and largest shoe related wholesale markets in Guangzhou and there are many other professional shoe, shoe material and shoe accessories wholesale malls in that area. In 2005, Mr. Zhang’s family member acquired all the share capital of Liwan Qi Pei, the main asset of which was a building at the same location as the Property, at a total consideration of RMB50 million. Such building was then rebuilt into the Property, a 2-storey commercial professional shoe wholesale mall with area of approximately 5,100 square meters for commercial use above a 3-level basement with area of approximately 12,600 square meters for commercial, car parking and warehouse use in 2008. The Property had recorded occupancy rates of approximately 92%, 90% and 92% for its commercial units from the ultimate individual tenants in the year ended 31 December 2011 and 2012 and six months ended 30 June 2013, respectively.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Set out below is the audited financial information of Liwan Qi Pei for the two years ended 31 December 2011 and 2012 and the six months ended 30 June 2013, respectively, which has taken into account the fair value adjustments to the Property, which is being held as an investment property under the Target Group:

Profit after taxation 313,044 9,864

Liwan Qi Pei is the key operating company within the Target Group that holds the Property. There were three other companies within the Target Group that were incorporated at different time which directly or indirectly holds Liwan Qi Pei. For the period from the date of incorporation at 28 February 2011 to 31 December 2011, the Target Group did not record any income and expense. During the year ended 31 December 2012, the Target Group completed the acquisition of the entire equity interest of Yijie and Liwan Qi Pei through its fully owned subsidiary, Mark World. Since then, their results, assets and liabilities were consolidated with the financial statements of the Target Group. The audited consolidated net assets of the Target Group as at 30 June 2013, taking into account the latest valuation on the Property as at 31 July 2013 of RMB656 million, were approximately RMB323.0 million. As at 30 June 2013, the Target Group had net current liabilities of RMB96.8 million and net assets of RMB323.0 million. The net current liabilities position was mainly due to the short term secured bank borrowing of approximately RMB192.1 million. It is expected that such bank borrowing can be revolved by the Target Group upon its maturity. In addition, it is a common characteristic of a real estate development project to have net current liability position at its early stage before having positive cash flow. Taking into consideration the benefits of the Proposed Acquisition, the net assets of the Target Group of approximately RMB323.0 million, and the sufficient cash

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

position of the Group to support the redevelopment of the Property, the Board considers the Proposed Acquisition is in the interests of the Company, notwithstanding the net current liabilities position of the Target Group. Further financial information of the members under the Target Group were set out in Appendix IIA, IIC and IIE to this circular.

The Group entered into two leasing agreements with the Target Group, each for a period of six months ended 4 March 2013 and 5 September 2013. Pursuant to the leasing arrangements the Target Group as landlord agreed to lease the Property to the Group at a total consideration of RMB0.6 million per month whereby the Group was responsible to manage the Property and sublet to other tenants, comprised mainly shoe wholesalers and raw material suppliers. During the aforementioned rental periods, the Group received rental income and management fee from subletting and management of the Property at an average of RMB1.4 million per month.

The short term lease arrangement between the Group and the Target Group is on terms more favourable to the Group which allows the Group to broaden its income stream and to assess the potential value of the Property pursuant to the redevelopment as further discussed below. As Mr. Zhang is a connected person by virtue of his directorship in a subsidiary of the Group and each of the applicable percentage ratios (other than the profits ratio) calculated for the purpose of Chapter 14A of Listing Rules did not exceed 1% on an annual basis, the leasing arrangements between the Group and the Target Group fell within the de minimis threshold as stipulated under Rule 14A.33(3) of the Listing Rules and the transactions were therefore exempt from the reporting, annual review, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements.

Redevelopment of the Property

On December 2011, the Target Group obtained the redevelopment approval from the Guangzhou Municipal Office for the ‘‘Three-Old Redevelopment’’ Program (廣州‘‘三舊’’改造 工作辦公室) which allows the construction of additional 8 storeys over the existing Property. On August 2012, the Target Group paid the additional land premium regarding the redevelopment of the Property of approximately RMB71.3 million. As at the Latest Practicable Date, all the construction related permits including (i) Construction Planning Permit (建設工程 規劃許可證) and (ii) Construction Works Commencement Permit (建築工程施工許可證) have been duly obtained by the Target Group. The Property has been vacant since early September 2013 and is undergoing a preliminary setup for the reconstruction and redevelopment project that will expand and upgrade the Property into a modern shoe wholesale mall with additions of an 8-storey commercial and office building with car parking facilities.

According to the Construction Planning Permit (建設工程規劃許可證) issued by Guangzhou Urban Planning Bureau (廣州市規劃局) in February 2013, the Property is allowed to be reconstructed to a 10-storey complex building with 3-storey basement of a total area of approximately 35,545.4 square meters. Of which, GFA of 11,337.2 square meters are for commercial use and GFA of 9,801.1 square meters are for office use.

According to the property valuation report as set out in Appendix IV to this circular prepared by an independent professional valuer B.I. Appraisals Limited using market approach, the estimated market value as if completed as at 31 July 2013 of the Property amounted to

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

approximately RMB960 million. The ‘‘estimated market value as if completed’’, as advised by B.I. Appraisals Limited, was arrived at based on the reconstruction and redevelopment works of the Property as if they would have been completed as at the date of valuation.

The reconstruction and redevelopment works of the Property are expected to be completed in fourth quarter of 2014 and the capital commitment of the Target Group for such development is approximately RMB59 million. The Group will bear the redevelopment cost upon completion of the Proposed Acquisition. It is currently intended that such capital commitment will be financed partially by the Group’s internal resources and by the bank borrowings to be secured by the Target Group.

FINANCIAL IMPACT OF THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION ON THE GROUP

Earning

Upon Completion, the Target Group will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the financial results of the Target Group will be consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Group. It is expected that upon completion of the reconstruction and redevelopment works of the Property, the Target Group will be able to record additional income stream from the Property.

Assets and Liabilities

Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as if the Proposed Acquisition had been completed on 30 June 2013 as set out in Appendix III to this circular, the effects on assets and liabilities of the Enlarged Group are set out below:

The Enlarged
The Group Group
(immediately (immediately

Approximately Approximately Change
HK$’000 HK$’000
As at 30 June 2013
Unaudited total assets 6,866,823 7,433,277 +8.2%
Unaudited total liabilities 6,344,349 6,892,295 +8.6%
Unaudited net assets 522,474 540,982 +3.5%

According to the unaudited pro forma financial statement of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix III to this circular, the gearing ratio of the Group and the Enlarged Group expressed as percentage of total debts over total assets were approximately 92.4% and 92.7%. Accordingly, the Group’s gearing ratio will slightly increase upon Completion.

INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

The Company is principally engaged in property development, investment and management in the PRC. The Group has been undergoing a reorganisation of its businesses and projects with an objective to streamline its business into more property focus. On 12 April 2013, the Company entered into a sale and purchase agreement in relation to the disposal of the entire issued share capital of Master Base Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which engages in the electronic products operation of the Group. On 16 May 2013, an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a sale and purchase agreement in relation to the disposal 100% of the entire equity interests in Guangzhou Junyu Hotel Investment Limited whose main asset is Hilton Guangzhou Tianhe. As at the date of the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has discontinued its the electronic products operation and the disposal of Guangzhou Junyu Hotel Investment Limited is in progress.

REASONS AND BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION

Further to the discontinuation of the electronic product operation and various disposals of property projects since 2012, the Group has been actively looking for good property development project from time to time. Urban renewal is one of the expertises and business strategies of the Group. The Group had jointly developed the Linhe Cun Rebuilding Project with Sun Hung Kai Properties and received positive market response. The first batch of presale units of Forest Hill (峻林) has been sold out during the year. The Property is located in the commercial area specialised in the retail and wholesale of shoes and accessories. By leveraging on the expertise of the Group in city redevelopment, it is expected that the Group is

– 13 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

able to create additional value from the redevelopment and reconstruction of the existing Property and transform it into one of the leading and modern shoe and shoe material wholesale malls in Guangzhou. In addition, the Property would be held as investment property under the Group and provide a stable income stream to the Group with growth potential and diversify its property portfolio.

The Directors are of the view that the Proposed Acquisition is in line with the Group’s business strategy and the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are fair and reasonable and the entering into of the Sale and Purchase Agreement is in the interest of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios calculated under the Listing Rules in respect of the Proposed Acquisition and the transactions contemplated under the Sale and Purchase Agreement are more than 25% but less than 100%, the Proposed Acquisition constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules.

Mr. Zhang, the sole shareholder of Talent Trend and ultimate beneficial owner of the Target Group, is also a director of a subsidiary of the Group and therefore a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Zhang through Talent Trend holds Convertible Notes of face value HK$2,374.85 million and personally holds approximately 0.3% issued share capital of the Company. The SGM will be held and convened for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Proposed Acquisition and the transactions contemplated under the Sale and Purchase Agreement. Mr. Zhang and his associates are required to abstain from voting at the SGM. Save for the above, non of the Directors has any material interest in the Proposed Acquisition.

THE SGM

A notice convening the SGM to be held on 11 November 2013 is set out on pages 193 to 194 of this circular.

RECOMMENDATION

Dear Sirs,

MAJOR AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION IN RELATION TO THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Proposed Acquisition (including the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder), details of which are set out in the letter from the Board (the ‘‘Board Letter’’) contained in the circular dated 25 October 2013 issued by the Company to the Shareholders (the ‘‘Circular’’), of which this letter forms part. Terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as defined in the Circular unless the context requires otherwise.

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios calculated under the Listing Rules in respect of the Proposed Acquisition and the transactions contemplated under the Sale and Purchase Agreement are more than 25% but less than 100%, the Proposed Acquisition constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules.

Mr. Zhang, the sole shareholder of Talent Trend and the ultimate beneficial owner of the Target Group, is also a director of a subsidiary of the Group and therefore a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Zhang through Talent Trend holds Convertible Notes of face value HK$2,374.85 million and personally holds approximately 0.3% issued share capital of the Company. The SGM will be held and convened for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Proposed Acquisition and the transactions contemplated under the Sale and Purchase Agreement. Mr. Zhang and his associates are required to abstain from voting at the SGM.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion in respect of the Proposed Acquisition (including the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder), we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons:

(1) Information on the Group

The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. On 10 December 2010 (the ‘‘Completion Date’’), the Group completed the acquisition of Talent Central Limited which, through its subsidiaries, holds interests in various real estate projects in the PRC (the ‘‘Previous Acquisition’’). During the six months ended 30 June 2013, the Group undergone certain reorganization of its businesses and projects with an objective to streamline its operation into more property focus in first-tier cities in PRC.

In order to minimize its exposure in residential sector in Hainan Province, the Group entered into agreements for the disposal of the project companies of Swan Bay Garden (天 鵝灣) and Yuhaiwan (譽海灣) (‘‘Yuhaiwan Disposal’’) on 20 December 2012 and 25 January 2013, respectively. The disposal of Swan Bay Garden was completed in May 2013. Regarding the disposal of Yuhaiwan, the Group is handling relevant requirements under laws and regulations in the PRC and the disposal is expected to be completed before the end of 2013.

On 12 April 2013, the Group also entered into an agreement for the disposal of Master Base Limited, which engages in the electronic products operation, trading of commodities and listed equity and provision of loan financing. Such disposal was completed in May 2013.

In view of the intensified market competition and to concentrate resources on the Group’s real estate business, on 16 May 2013, the Group entered into an agreement in respect of the disposal of Guangzhou Junyu Hotel Investment Limited (廣州君譽酒店投資 有限公司), of which the main asset is Hilton Guangzhou Tianhe (廣州天河新天希爾頓酒 店). According to the terms of the agreement, the disposal is expected to be completed in second quarter of 2014.

Upon completion of the aforementioned disposals, the Group engages in the business of (i) real estate development, (ii) property investment and (iii) property management in Guangzhou.

According to the 2013 Interim Report, the Group’s gearing ratio (computed as total debts over total assets) was approximately 92.4% as at 30 June 2013 (31 December 2012: 89.8%). On the other hand, as a result of reorganization activities, gain on disposal of subsidiaries and discontinued operations was recorded. Along with reduced unfavorable fair value changes on investment properties and derivative financial instrument as well as

no further significant provision for impairment loss made on properties portfolio, loss attributable to owners of the Company reduced significantly from HK$304.4 million for the six months ended 30 June 2012 to HK$76.8 million for the six months ended 30 June 2013.

(2) Information on the Target and the Property

(a) The Target Group

According to the Board Letter, the Target is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability and principally engaged in investment holding. The principal asset of the Target Group is the Property, a parcel of land together with a 2-storey commercial building built over a 3-level basement thereon in Guangzhou, the PRC. It is wholly-owned by Talent Trend, which in turn is whollyowned by Mr. Zhang, holder of Convertible Notes with a face value of HK$2,374.85 million as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Set out below is the audited financial information of the Target Group for the years ended 31 December 2011, 31 December 2012 and the six months ended 30 June 2013, respectively, taking into account the fair value adjustments to the Property, which is being held as an investment property under the Target Group, and prepared in accordance with the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (‘‘HKFRSs’’):

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

(b) The Property and Liwan Qi Pei

The Property, the main asset of the Target Group, is a building located at No. 18 Zhan Xi Road, Liwan District, Guangzhou, PRC, and the center of a commercial area commonly known as Zhan Xi Shoe Market (‘‘站西鞋城’’). It is held by Liwan Qi Pei, a key operating company within the Target Group. There are three other companies within the Target Group which directly or indirectly holds Liwan Qi Pei.

According to the Board Letter, Zhan Xi Shoe Market is one of the earliest and largest shoe related wholesale markets located in Guangzhou where many professional shoe, shoe material and shoe accessories wholesale malls can be found in that area. In 2005, Mr. Zhang’s family member acquired all the share capital of Liwan Qi Pei, the main asset of which was a building at the same location as the Property, at a total consideration of RMB50 million. In 2008, such building was then rebuilt into the Property, a 2-storey commercial professional shoe wholesale mall with an area of approximately 5,100 square meters which also has a 3-level basement with an area of approximately 12,600 square meters for commercial, car parking and warehouse use. The Property had recorded occupancy rates of approximately 92%, 90% and 92% for its commercial units from the ultimate individual tenants in the years ended 31 December 2011 and 2012 and six months’ period ended 30 June 2013, respectively.

Set out below is the unaudited financial information of Liwan Qi Pei for the years ended 31 December 2011, 31 December 2012 and the six months ended 30 June 2013, which has not taken into account the fair value adjustments to the Property and the fair value adjustment of loan from third party, which is being held as an investment property under the Target Group:

Net (loss)/profit after taxation 3,691 (18,409) 2,961

The significant loss incurred by Liwan Qi Pei for the year ended 31 December 2012 was mainly caused by land premium paid previously for industrial use written off amounting to approximately RMB29,132,000, as approval for redevelopment of the Property to commercial use was obtained.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Taking into account the fair value adjustments to the Property and the loan from third party, below is the audited financial information of Liwan Qi Pei for the years ended 31 December 2011, 31 December 2012 and the six months ended 30 June 2013, respectively, and prepared in accordance with the HKFRSs:

For the

The profits made by Liwan Qi Pei for the years ended 31 December 2011 and 31 December 2012 were mainly contributed by valuation gains on the Property amounting to approximately RMB18,404,000 and RMB121,567,000 respectively.

(c) Redevelopment of the Property

According to the Board Letter, on December 2011, the Target Group obtained the redevelopment approval from the Guangzhou Municipal Office for the ‘‘ThreeOld Redevelopment’’ Program (廣州‘‘三舊’’改造工作辦公室) which granted the permission to construct an additional 8 storeys over the existing Property. As at the Latest Practicable Date, all the construction related permits including (i) Construction Planning Permit (建設工程規劃許可證) and (ii) Construction Works Commencement Permit (建築工程施工許可證) have been duly obtained by the Target Group. The Property has been vacant since early September 2013, and is undergoing a preliminary setup for the reconstruction and redevelopment project that will expand and upgrade the Property into a modern shoe wholesale mall with additions of an 8- storey commercial and office building with car parking facilities.

According to the Construction Planning Permit (建設工程規劃許可證) issued by Guangzhou Urban Planning Bureau (廣州市規劃局) on February 2013, the Property is permitted to be reconstructed to a 10-storey complex building with 3- storey basement of a total area of approximately 35,545.4 square meters. Of which, GFA of 11,337.2 square meters is for commercial use and a total of GFA of 9,801.1 square meters is for office use.

According to the Valuation Report, the estimated market value as if completed as at 31 July 2013 of the Property amounted to approximately RMB960 million. The ‘‘estimated market value as if completed’’, as advised by B.I. Appraisals Limited, was arrived at based on the reconstruction and redevelopment works of the Property as if they would have been completed as at the date of valuation.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

According to management of the Company, the reconstruction and redevelopment works of the Property are expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2014 and the capital commitment of the Target Group for such development is approximately RMB59 million, for which construction costs of approximately RMB46 million have been contracted for.

(3) Background and reasons for the Proposed Acquisition

(a) Background

According to the Board Letter, further to the discontinuation of the electronic product operation and various disposals of property projects since 2012, the Group solely engages in the business of (i) real estate development; (ii) property investment; and (iii) property management in Guangzhou, and the Group has been actively looking for good property development project from time to time.

Beginning from September 2012, the Group entered into two consecutive leasing agreements with the Target Group for the Property, which is located in the commercial area specialised in the retail and wholesale of shoes and accessories, each for a period of six months ended 4 March 2013 and 5 September 2013, with a view to assess the occupancy rate, location and potential value of the Property as a leasee first. Pursuant to the leasing arrangements, the Target Group as landlord agreed to lease the Property to the Group at a total consideration of RMB0.6 million per month whereby the Group was responsible to manage the Property and sublet to other tenants, comprised mainly shoe wholesalers and raw material suppliers. During the aforementioned rental periods, the Group received rental income and management fee from subletting and management of the Property at an average of RMB1.4 million per month.

According to management of the Company, after due consideration on the potential value of the Property and becoming familiar with management of the Property, the Board became interested by the potential of the Property following redevelopment and considers it is a good opportunity to acquire the Target Group. The Board believes that, by leveraging on the expertise of the Group in city redevelopment, the Group will be able to create additional value from the redevelopment and reconstruction of the existing Property and transform it into one of the leading and modern shoe and shoe material wholesale malls in Guangzhou. The Board has considered other investment alternatives other than the Proposed Acquisition of the Target; however, the Board considers the Proposed Acquisition to be the best alternative at this moment as it is a valuable opportunity to add a highquality property to the Group’s property portfolio while at the same time provide a stable income stream to the Group.

Taking into account the cash position of the Company, the Board decided to satisfy the consideration of the Proposed Acquisition by setting off the equivalent amount from the Repayment Obligation, in order to preserve a substantial amount of cash.

– 24 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

According to the Circular, the Repayment Obligation represents the repayment obligation of no more than RMB380 million undertaken by Talent Trend under the sale and purchase agreement in relation to the Previous Acquisition. According to management of the Company, a condition was agreed between the Group and Talent Trend that if certain requirements have not been met prior to completion of the Previous Acquisition, that Talent Trend shall pledge to the Group Convertible Notes with a principal amount of HK$440 million as an indemnity for the Repayment Obligation. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Talent Trend remains obligated to repay RMB380 million to the Group while Convertible Notes with a principal amount of HK$440 million is still being withheld by the Group as an indemnity to the said repayment obligation. Further details of the transaction were set out in the Company’s circular dated 29 October 2010.

(b) Market overview

To understand the general shoe consumption level in PRC, we have reviewed the ‘‘Per Capita Annual Shoe Consumption of Urban Residents by Income Level in 2011’’ provided by the National Bureau of Statistics of the PRC.

Annual shoe consumption per capita for urban residents in 2011, by income level

(Unit: pair)

Lower Upper
National Lowest Low middle Middle middle High Highest
average income income income income income income income
(10%) (10%) (20%) (20%) (20%) (10%) (10%)
2.91 1.89 2.43 2.70 3.01 3.23 3.51 4.04

Source: China Statistical Yearbook 2012

Based on the above, we noted that the annual shoe consumption per capita for urban residents ranged from 1.89 pairs to 4.04 pairs in 2011. Even though the highest income individuals represent the top 10% population of the country, the annual shoe consumption per capita was only 2.15 pairs more than the lowest income individuals. On the other hand, shoe consumption of people at the middle income level was only 1.12 pairs above the lowest income individuals. As shoes are necessities, we believe the annual shoe consumption of 1.89 pairs by the lowest income individuals represents the minimum of what an individual requires. Therefore, in our view, the higher income groups, consuming 1.12 to 2.15 more pairs than the lowest income group, were merely scratching the surface in terms of the amount of shoe consumption, as they possess greater purchasing power. For example, according to the ShoeStats 2012 Report released by the American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA), on average, every person, including man, woman, and child, in the United States of America spent on more than 7 pairs of shoes in

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  1. Hence, along with the continuing growth of the average wage of the PRC population and further urbanization of the country, we believe the demand for shoes has much room for further expansion.

In PRC, sales channel of shoes mainly include retail chain shops, department stores and wholesale malls. In particular, wholesale malls serve as centralized trading platforms that bring together different domestic and foreign shoe brands, buyers, suppliers, as well as shoe manufacturers. The Zhan Xi Shoe Market is one of the earliest and largest shoe related wholesale markets in PRC with over 20 wholesale malls selling shoe, shoe material and shoe accessories in the area. Below is a list of other major wholesale shoe malls in the district:

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Zhan Xi Shoe Market is located in the city of Guangzhou, which is famous for its status as an international distribution center and wholesale market of various products for traders. Guangzhou (the capital city of Guangdong), Dongguan, Shenzhen, Heshan, Huidong, Foshan, Jieyang are the most important footwear manufacturing bases in Guangdong Province representing over few thousands of big and small shoemaking enterprises. Also, Guangzhou is well-known for its trade fairs; therefore we believe Guangzhou is a prime location for wholesale markets to establish their presence as buyers from all over the world are often gathered in Guangzhou for sourcing different kinds of consumer goods. Below is a list of selected shoe and related products exhibitions held or to be held in Guangzhou in 2013:

According to the statistics provided by www.customs-info.com, which is an online information service platform of import-export trade supervised by China Customs Information Center (全國海關電子通關中心) and undertaken by China Cuslink Company, Ltd (北京中海通科技有限公司), we noted that PRC’s average monthly export of shoe and parts thereof during the years ended 2010, 2011, 2012, and seven months ended July 2013 amounted to approximately US$2,969,628,000, US$3,476,858,000, US$3,901,509,000, and US$3,979,606,000 respectively. According to management of the Company, the Zhan Xi Shoe Market accounts for substantial portion of PRC’s total footwear exports. Therefore, barring any significant change in the market, we believe the amount of shoe export from PRC will continue to maintain a gradual growth each year and shall continue to support the export activities in the Zhan Xi Shoe Market.

– 27 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

In view of the above analysis of continued domestic demand in the foreseeable future, strong export statistics, and high historical occupancy rate of the Property right up until redevelopment (being 92%, 90% and 92% for the years ended 31 December 2011, 31 December 2012 and the six months’ period ended 30 June 2013) as mentioned earlier, we concur with the management that the Property will be able to provide a stable income stream to the Group with growth potential.

Having consider that (i) the Property is in line with the Group’s strategy to pursue property development projects with potential in Guangzhou while diversifying its property portfolio; (ii) the Group has previous leasing and management experience with the Property; (iii) the Target Group has obtained all the necessary approval so that the Property is available for immediate redevelopment; and (iv) the estimated market value as if completed as at 31 July 2013 of the Property amounted to approximately RMB960 million, is significantly higher than the appraised value of the Property as at 31 December 2013 of RMB656 million plus the future capital commitment of the Target Group for such development of approximately RMB59 million, we concur with management of the Group that the Proposed Acquisition is in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company and is beneficial for the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

(4) Principal terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement

Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has conditionally agreed to acquire, and Talent Trend, a company wholly-owned by Mr. Zhang, has conditionally agreed to sell, the entire issued share capital of the Target. The consideration for the Proposed Acquisition is RMB307 million (equivalent to approximately HK$387.7 million) which was arrived at after negotiations on an arm’s length commercial basis between the parties to the Sale and Purchase Agreement with reference to, among others, the audited net asset value of the Target Group as at 30 June 2013, taking into account the latest valuation on the Property as at 31 July 2013 of RMB656 million, of approximately RMB323 million. Pursuant to the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the consideration for the Proposed Acquisition shall be satisfied by the Purchaser upon Completion through setting off the equivalent amount, being RMB307 million (equivalent to approximately HK$387.7 million) from the Repayment Obligation.

According to the Valuation Report, the valuation of the Property was conducted by using the Market Approach, which is a commonly adopted approach for valuing properties. As advised by the Company, the Property is to be held for investment upon acquisition and completion of the proposed alteration and additional building works. The independent professional valuer B.I. Appraisals has considered the value of the Property to be twofold, that is, the value derived from the existing building and the value attributable to its development potential arising from the unused plot ratio of the Property. We understand this is because the Property is currently undergoing reconstruction which would not require demolition of the existing building, but is permitted to construct an additional 8 storeys on top of the existing building once completed. In arriving at the value of the existing building of the Property, the valuer made reference to comparable

– 28 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

sale evidence as available in the relevant markets and, wherever appropriate, capitalized the current passing rent with due allowance to the reversionary income potential of the existing building. On the other hand, value attributable to the Property’s development potential was arrived at by making reference to transactions of comparable land parcels. Based on the fact that (i) the basis and assumptions adopted in the Valuation Report are commonly used in valuing commercial and office properties; and (ii) the data used in the model were obtained from comparable market transactions, we are of the view that the basis and assumptions adopted in the Valuation Report are appropriate. We are also of the view that the methodology and assumptions adopted were arrived at after due and careful consideration.

Given our above analysis on the valuation approach and that the consideration of RMB307 million is less than the audited net asset value of the Target Group as at 30 June 2013, taking into account the latest valuation on the Property as at 31 July 2013 of RMB656 million, amounting to approximately RMB323 million, we are of the view that the consideration to be favourable to the Group and the basis for determining the consideration to be fair and reasonable. We also consider that the settlement method of the consideration for the Proposed Acquisition to be of the interest of the Company as no cash outflow is required, so that the Group will be able to reserve funds for other potential projects, while the Repayment Obligation due to the Group, which have long been outstanding, can be settled substantially. In this regard, we concur with the management that this settlement method would be of better interest to the Company than by the means of cash settlement. Therefore, we concur with the Directors’ view that the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are fair and reasonable and the entering into of the Sale and Purchase Agreement is in the interest of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

(5) Possible financial effects of the Proposed Acquisition

Upon Completion, the Target will become an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the financial results of which will be consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Group. Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as if the Proposed Acquisition had been completed on 30 June 2013, the total asset of the Group will increase from HK$6,866,823,000 to HK$7,433,277,000, representing an increase of 8.2%, the total liabilities will increase from HK$6,344,349,000 to HK$6,892,295,000, representing an increase of 8.6%, while the net asset value of the Group will increase from HK$522,474,000 to HK$540,982,000, representing an increase of 3.5%.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Talent Trend is obligated to repay RMB380 million to the Group while Convertible Notes with a principal amount of HK$440 million is being withheld by the Group as an indemnity to the said repayment obligation. Upon Completion of the Proposed Acquisition, the consideration for the Proposed Acquisition, being RMB307 million (equivalent to approximately HK$387.7 million), will be set off from the Repayment Obligation, being RMB380 million, thus the remaining amount of the Repayment Obligation will become RMB73 million. As a result of the settlement of the Repayment Obligation, Convertible Notes with face value of not more than HK$355.2

– 29 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

million, being the amount corresponding to RMB307 million of Repayment Obligation being set off since Convertible Notes with a principal amount of HK$440 million was originally pledged as indemnity to the Repayment Obligation of RMB380 million, shall be released by the Company to Talent Trend. Gain on bargain purchase amounting to approximately HK$20,108,000 is expected to be recognised by the Group as a result of the Proposed Acquisition.

The gearing ratio (computed as total debts over total assets) of the Group will be increased slightly from 92.4% to 92.7% accordingly.

It was disclosed in the Accountant’s Report on the Target Group under Appendix IIA that the Target Group had net current liabilities of RMB96,810,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$121,787,000) as at 30 June 2013 and that the Group has agreed to provide financial support to the Target Group. However, taken into account of (i) the opinion of the directors of the Group that the Target Group will be able to obtain adequate loan facilities to refinance the secured bank borrowings of the Target Group as at 30 June 2013 when they become due for repayment; (ii) the net liabilities of the Target Group of approximately HK$121,787,000 represent only approximately 6% of the net current assets of the Enlarged Group of HK$2,023,468,000; and (iii) the reconstruction and redevelopment works of the Property are expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2014, by which time there will be cash inflow to the Target Group once the units are leased out, we are of the view that the net liabilities of the Target Group do not have any significant adverse impact on the Group.

The final financial impact of the Proposed Acquisition will be subject to the net asset value of the Target and the valuation of the Convertible Notes as at the date of Completion.

It should be noted that the aforementioned analyses are for illustrative purpose only and does not purport to represent how the financial position of the Group will be upon completion of the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the above factors and reasons, we are of the opinion that the Proposed Acquisition is on normal commercial terms and in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company.

– 30 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

We are also of the view that the Proposed Acquisition is fair and reasonable so far as the Shareholders are concerned and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant ordinary resolution(s) to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Proposed Acquisition and we recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant ordinary resolution(s) in this regard.

4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS

In 2013, the global economic development remained uncertain. In the first half of the year, the labour market and property market of the United States saw signs of improvement. The Federal Reserve of the United States implied that it would exit the market on such improvements. It is anticipated that the exit of the so-called quantitative easing implemented by the Federal Reserve of the United States will have significant impact on the global financial market. It is obvious that funds have fled from emerging economies recently, generating pressure on their economic development.

In China, the banks experienced a liquidity crisis as the People’s Bank of China refused to provide liquidity instantly to the interbank market at the end of the first half of 2013. Coupled with the weakening global economy, the economic indicators of China (including Gross Domestic Product) have reflected the slowdown in its economic growth. There is a concern over the deteriorating economic growth in China in the second half of the year. However, the consumer price index indicated that the inflation remained tamed, allowing the government to flexibly regulate the economic growth by strengthening its control. It is the policy of the Chinese government to achieve a balanced and sustainable economic growth by adopting a new economic development mode. The further development of the economy of China will be driven by urbanisation and the growth in household income. There will be huge demand of residential properties due to ample room for urbanisation. The disposable income will increase in line with the improving household income, meaning that more commodity houses are becoming affordable.

The property market was still heavily regulated by government during the year. According to the recent policies, local governments are required to strengthen the regulation on property price, impose strict regulations on capital gain tax and property purchase by increasing the down payment requirement and higher mortgage interest rate for non-first-time home purchasers. Notwithstanding such new measures, the average property price in the second quarter of the year has recorded increases for 13 consecutive months since mid-2012, which was mainly attributed to the increase of demand, although the increase was partially offset by the promulgation of the above measures. The local demand in Guangzhou, where the

– 33 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

headquarters of the Group is located, remained strong despite the strict control on its property market. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the primary and secondary property prices as at the end of July, 2013 increased by approximately 17% and 10% respectively as compared with the same period of last year. Therefore, it is expected that the relevant authorities will retain the strict regulations on property prices during this year.

Xintian Banshan (新天半山), a luxury villa project of the Group which is characterised by panoramic views of hills and lake in Nanhu Zone of Baiyun District in Guangzhou, is under development. Pre-sale permit has been obtained for its high-rise residential units. The contract sales price is satisfactory. Although the sales progress is slower than expected due to the effect of the relevant policy, we are confident of this project because the recent auction price of a nearby land parcel has hit a new record high. In the rest of the year, we will adjust the marketing strategy to increase the pace of contract sales and thereby our cash inflow.

Regarding the Linhe Cun Rebuilding Project, which is located in the business zone of Tianhe District in Guangzhou and near the Guangzhou East Railway Station and jointly developed by the Group and Sun Hung Kai Properties, the first batch of pre-sale units of Forest Hill (峻林) has been sold out during the year. The new round of pre-sales is in final preparation and will be launched very soon.

During the year 2013, the Group carried out various restructuring and disposals, including the disposal of non-core electronic product business as well as the residential projects in Hainan and the Hilton hotel with low profit margin and cash inflow. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the consideration for the disposal of entire equity interests in Guangzhou Junyu Hotel Investments Limited was received to the extent of approximately RMB507 million. Whereas the disposal of 63.2% equity interests in Hainan Honglun Properties Limited is in the stage of finalising relevant PRC issues. Completion is expected before the end of the year.

In the rest of the year, we will complete the legal procedures for such disposals. Together with the sales of Xintian Banshan (新天半山) and other projects, the Group will have sufficient liquidity and strengthened capacity to focus on the development of urban renewal projects and identify acquisition opportunities.

Regarding the Proposed Acquisition, the main asset is the Property which has obtained the redevelopment approval from the Guangzhou Municipal Office for the ‘‘Three-Old Redevelopment’’ Program (廣州‘‘三舊’’改造工作辦公室). According to the Construction Planning Permit (建設工程規劃許可證) issued by Guangzhou Urban Planning Bureau (廣州市 規劃局) on February 2013, the Property is allowed to be reconstructed to a 10-storey complex building with 3-storey basement of a total area of approximately 35,545.4 square meters. Of which, GFA of 11,337.2 square meters are for commercial use and a total of GFA of 9,801.1 square meters are for office use. The Property is located at the center of a commercial area commonly known as Zhan Xi Shoe Market (‘‘站西鞋城’’) in Liwan District, Guangzhou, the PRC. Zhan Xi Shoe Market is one of the earliest and largest shoe related wholesale markets in Guangzhou and there are many other professional shoe, shoe material and shoe accessories wholesale malls in that area.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

The Chinese footwear industry has been growing steadily in last couple of years owing to the recent urbanisation in China as well as the increasing population in the country. A rise in the disposable income of the population has also aided the growth of the footwear industry in the country. Due to the popularity of all kinds of footwear amongst the youth in China, many foreign companies have started investing heavily in the Chinese footwear industry. As such, the management of the Group believes that the Property can generate a stable rental income from the whole-sellers of the footwear industry chain in long-term. Without unanticipated change in local property market and footwear industry, a capital gain is expected to be achieved from completion of re-development and full-operation of the upgraded Property.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX IIA

We have also performed a review of the Interim Comparative Information in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the HKICPA. A review consists principally of making enquiries of management and applying analytical and other review procedures to the financial information and, based thereon, assessing whether the accounting policies and presentation have been consistently applied unless otherwise disclosed. A review excludes audit procedures such as test of controls and verification of assets and liabilities and transactions. It is substantially less in scope than an audit and therefore provides a lower level of assurance than an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the Interim Comparative Information.

OPINION IN RESPECT OF THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

In our opinion, for the purpose of this report, the Financial Information give a true and fair view of the state of affair of the Target Group and the Target Company as at 31 December 2011, 2012 and 30 June 2013, and of the result and cash flows for the Relevant Periods.

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to note 2.2 to the Financial Information which indicates that the Target Group had net current liabilities of approximately RMB216,983,000 and RMB96,810,000 as at 31 December 2012 and 30 June 2013 respectively; and the Target Group had capital commitment in respect of further development costs for investment property of approximately RMB58,833,000 (note 26 of Section II below) as at 30 June 2013. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Target Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

REVIEW CONCLUSION IN RESPECT OF THE INTERIM COMPARATIVE INFORMATION

Based on our review which does not constitute an audit, for the purpose of this report, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Interim Comparative Information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 2 of Section II below.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX IIA

II. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The Target Company was incorporated with limited liability in the BVI on 28 January 2011. The addresses of its registered office of the Target Company is P.O. Box 957, Offshore Incorporations Centre, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands. However, its principle place of business is Unit 17, 12/F., North Tower, Concordia Plaza, 1 Science Museum Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong.

The principal activity of the Target Company is investment holding. On 3 July 2012, the Target Company acquired the entire interest of Yijie and its subsidiary through Mark World, the wholly owned subsidiary of the Target Company. The principal activities of the Target Group are investment holding, property investment and provision of cleaning services. In the opinion of the director of the Target Company, as at 30 June 2013, Talent Trend Holdings Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, is the holding company of the Target Company.

On 1 March 2011, the Target Company has acquired entire equity interest of Mark World. Subsequently, on 3 July 2012, Mark World has acquired entire equity interest of Yijie and its subsidiary (hereinafter collectively referred to as ‘‘Yijie Group’’). Both the Target Company and Mark World are ultimately controlled by and beneficially owned by Mr. Zhang Gao Bin throughout the Relevant Periods or since their respective dates of incorporation or date of acquisition up to 30 June 2013. The Target Company and Mark World is regarded as a continuing entity. The acquisition was accounted for using the principles of merger accounting in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Guideline 5 ‘‘Merger Accounting for Common Control Combinations’’ in preparation of the Financial Information.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1 Basis of preparation

The Financial Information have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (‘‘HKFRSs’’) which collective term includes all applicable individual Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (‘‘HKASs’’) and Interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (‘‘HKICPA’’), accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong. All HKFRSs effective for the accounting period commencing from 1 January 2013 together with the relevant transitional provisions, have been early adopted by the Target Group in the preparation of the Financial Information throughout the Relevant Periods and the period covered by the Interim Comparative Information.

The significant accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of the Financial Information are summarised below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the Relevant Periods presented unless otherwise stated.

The Financial Information has been prepared on the historical cost basis except for investment property which is stated at its fair value. The measurement basis is fully described in the accounting policies below. Financial Information is presented in Renminbi and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.

The preparation of the Financial Information requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of reporting period. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

– 45 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX IIA

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 4.

2.2 Going concern convention

The Financial Information have been prepared on a going concern basis even though the Target Group had net current liabilities of approximately RMB216,983,000 and RMB96,810,000 as at 31 December 2012 and 30 June 2013 respectively; and the Target Group had capital commitment in respect of further development costs for investment property of approximately RMB58,833,000 (note 26 of Section II below) as at 30 June 2013. In the opinion of the director, the Target Group will have sufficient working capital to finance its working capital and capital expenditure for the next fiscal year after taking into consideration the following:

  • (a) The investment property of the Target Group, which had a fair value of RMB656,000,000 on 30 June 2013 in accordance with a valuation performed by independent professional qualified valuers as further detailed in note 13 of this section, allow the Target Group to obtain adequate loan facilities to refinance the secured bank borrowings as at 30 June 2013 when they become due for repayment; and

  • (b) The Group has agreed to provide financial support to the Target Group to enable them to meet their financial liabilities as and when they fall due and to enable the Target Group to continue operating for the foreseeable future after the Completion.

2.3 Basis of consolidation

The Financial Information incorporate the financial statements of the Target Group (see note 2.4 below) made up to 31 December.

Subsidiary is consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Target Group. They are excluded from consolidation from the date that control ceases.

Intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains and losses on transactions between group companies are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Where unrealised losses on intragroup asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment from the Target Group’s perspective. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiary have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Target Group.

2.4 Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities over which the Target Company has the power to control the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Target Company controls another entity.

In consolidated financial statements, acquisition of subsidiaries (other than those under common control) is accounted for by applying the acquisition method. This involves the estimation of fair value of all identifiable assets and liabilities, including contingent liabilities of the subsidiaries, at the acquisition date, regardless of whether or not they were recorded in the financial statements of the subsidiaries prior to acquisition. On initial recognition, the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary are included in the consolidated statement of financial position at their fair values, which are also used as the bases for subsequent measurement in accordance with the Target Company’s accounting policies.

In the Target Company’s statement of financial position, subsidiary is carried at cost less any impairment loss. The results of subsidiary are accounted for by the Target Company on the basis of dividends received and receivable at the reporting date.

– 46 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX IIA

2.5 Business combination

The acquisition of business is accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of the acquisition is measured at the aggregate of fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Target Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognised in profit or loss as incurred. The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under HKFRS 3 ‘‘Business combinations’’ are recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date.

Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised as an asset and initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Target Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. If, after reassessment, the Target Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceeds the cost of the business combination, the excess is recognised immediately in the profit or loss.

2.6 Business combination under common control

The Financial Information incorporates the financial statements items of the combining entities or business in which the common control combination occurs as if they had been combined from the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the control of the controlling party.

The net assets of the combining entities or businesses are consolidated using the existing book values from the controlling party’s perspective. No amount is recognised in respect of goodwill or excess of acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of common control combination, to the extent of the continuation of the controlling party’s interest.

The consolidated statements of comprehensive income include the results of each of the combining entities or businesses from the earliest date presented or since the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the common control, where this is a shorter period, regardless of the date of the common control combination.

The comparative amounts in the Financial Information are presented as if the entities or businesses had been combined at the end of the previous reporting period or when they first came under common control whichever is shorter.

2.7 Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss.

Depreciation on plant and equipment is provided to write off the cost less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method, at the following rates per annum.

Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 20%–33.3%
Motor vehicle 20%

The asset’s residual values, deprecation methods and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

The gain or loss arising on retirement or disposal is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to Target Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs, such as repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

– 47 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX IIA

2.8 Impairment of non-financial assets

Plant and equipment and interests in subsidiary are subject to impairment testing.

An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value, reflecting market conditions less costs to sell, and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of time value of money and the risk specific to the asset.

For the purposes of assessing impairment, where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent from those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of assets that generate cash inflows independently (i.e. a cash-generating unit). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level.

As assessment is made at the end of each reporting periods as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment loss may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss of an asset other than goodwill is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount of that asset. A reversal of impairment loss is limited to the asset’s carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the year in which the reversals are recognised.

2.9 Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the consolidated financial statements of the Target Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the principal subsidiaries of the Target Company operate (the ‘‘functional currency’’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in RMB, which is the functional currency and presentation currency.

2.10 Foreign currency translation

In the individual financial statements of the consolidated entities, foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency of the individual entity using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at that date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the reporting date retranslation of monetary assets and liabilities are recognised in the profit or loss.

Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined and are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

2.11 Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Provided it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Target Group and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably, revenue is recognised as follows:

Rental income of property leasing under operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.

– 48 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX IIA

2.12 Investment property

Property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation, and that is not occupied by the Target Group, is classified as investment property. Property that is currently being constructed or developed for future use as investment property is classified as investment property.

Investment property comprises land held under operating leases. Land held under operating leases are classified and accounted for as investment property when the rest of the definition of investment property is met (see note 2.13).

Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction costs.

Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is measured at fair value. Where fair value of investment property under construction is not reliably measurable, the property is measured at cost until the earlier of the date construction is completed or the date at which fair value becomes reliably measurable. Fair value is based on active market prices, adjusted, if necessary, for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. If this information is not available, the Target Group uses alternative valuation methods such as recent prices on less active markets or discounted cash flow projections.

The fair value of investment property reflects, among other things, rental income from current leases and assumptions about rental income from future leases in light of current market conditions.

Subsequent expenditure is charged to the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Target Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Any gain or loss arising from a change in fair values of an investment property is recognised in profit or loss.

2.13 Leases

An arrangement, comprising a transaction or a series of transactions, is or contains a lease if the Target Group determines that the arrangement conveys a right to use a specific asset or assets for an agreed period of time in return for a payment or a series of payments. Such a determination is made based on an evaluation of the substance of the arrangement and is regardless of whether the arrangement takes the legal form of a lease.

(i) Classification of assets leased to the Target Group

Assets that are held by the Target Group under leases which transfer to the Target Group substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as being held under finance leases. Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the Target Group are classified as operating leases, with the following exceptions:

  • property held under operating leases that would otherwise meet the definition of an investment property is classified as an investment property on a property-by-property basis and, if classified as investment property, is accounted for as if held under a finance lease (see note 2.12); and

  • land held for own use under an operating lease, the fair value of which cannot be measured separately from the fair value of a building situated thereon at the inception of the lease, is accounted for as being held under a finance lease, unless the building is clearly held under an operating lease. For these purposes, the inception of the lease is the time that the lease was first entered into by the Target Group, or taken over from the previous lessee.

– 49 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX IIA

  • (ii) Operating lease charges as the lessor

Assets leased out under operating leases are included in investment property in the consolidated statements of financial position. Rental receivable under the operating leases are credit to profit or loss on the straight-line basis over the lease terms.

2.14 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and in hand, demand deposits with banks and short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

2.15 Financial assets

The Target Group’s accounting policies for financial assets other than interests in subsidiaries are set out below. Financial assets of the Target Group are classified into the following categories:

  • loans and receivable

  • available-for-sale financial assets

Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition depending on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired and where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at every reporting date.

All financial assets are recognised when, and only when, the Target Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Regular way purchases of financial assets are recognised on trade date. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, directly attributable transaction costs.

Derecognition of financial assets occurs when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments expire or are transferred and substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred.

At each reporting date, financial assets are reviewed to assess whether there is objective evidence of impairment. If any such evidence exists, impairment loss is determined and recognised based on the classification of the financial asset.

(i) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Amortised cost is calculated taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and includes fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate and transaction cost.

(ii) Available-for-sale financial assets

Non-derivative financial assets that do not qualify for inclusion in any of the other categories of financial assets are classified as available-for-sale financial assets.

All financial assets within this category are subsequently measured at fair value. Gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value excluding any dividend and interest income is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated separately in the fair value reserve for available-of-sale financial assets in equity, except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets, until the financial asset is derecognised, at which time the cumulative gain or loss is reclassified from equity to profit or loss. Interest calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in profit or loss.

– 50 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX IIA

The fair value of available-for-sale monetary assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the reporting date. The change in fair value attributable to translation differences that result from a change in amortised cost of the asset is recognised in profit or loss, and other changes are recognised in other comprehensive income.

For available-for-sale investments in equity securities that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured and derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity instruments, they are measured at cost less any identified impairment losses at each reporting date subsequent to initial recognition.

Impairment of financial assets

At each reporting date, financial assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any objective evidence of impairment.

Objective evidence of impairment of individual financial assets includes observable data that comes to the attention of the Target Group about one or more of the following loss events:

  • significant financial difficulty of the debtor;

  • a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;

  • it becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;

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

  • a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below its cost.

Loss events in respect of a group of financial assets include observable data indicating that there is a measureable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from the group of financial assets. Such observable data includes but not limited to adverse changes in the payment status of debtors in the group and, national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the group.

If any such evidence exists, the impairment loss is measured and recognised as follows:

(i) Financial assets carried at amortised cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortised cost has been incurred, 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 (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss of the period in which the impairment occurs.

If, in subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that it does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset exceeding what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised at the date the impairment is reversed. The amount of the reversal is recognised in profit or loss of the period in which the reversal occurs.

– 51 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX IIA

  • (ii) Unquoted equity securities stated at cost which are classified as available-for-sale financial assets

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

Financial assets other than financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and trade receivables that are stated at amortised cost, impairment losses are written off against the corresponding assets directly. Where the recovery of trade receivables is considered doubtful but not remote, the impairment losses for doubtful receivables are recorded using an allowance account. When the Target Group is satisfied that recovery of trade receivables is remote, the amount considered irrecoverable is written off against trade receivables directly and any amounts held in the allowance account in respect of that receivable are reversed. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously charged to the allowance account are reversed against the allowance account. Other changes in the allowance account and subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off directly are recognised in profit or loss.

2.16 Accounting for income taxes

Income tax comprises current tax and deferred tax.

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, taking into consideration interpretations and practices prevailing in the countries in which the Target Group operates. All changes to current tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of tax expense in profit or loss.

Deferred tax is calculated using the liability method on temporary differences at the reporting date between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, tax losses available to be carried forward as well as other unused tax credits, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit, including existing taxable temporary differences, will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither taxable nor accounting profit or loss.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiary, except where the Target Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

An exception to the general requirement on determining the appropriate tax rate used in measuring deferred tax amount is when an investment property is carried at fair value under HKAS 40 ‘‘Investment Property’’. Unless the presumption is rebutted, the deferred tax amounts on these investment properties are measured using the tax rates that would apply on sale of these investment properties at their carrying amounts at each reporting date. The presumption is rebutted when the investment property is depreciable and is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all the economic benefits embodied in the property over time, rather than through sale.

Deferred tax is calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply in the period the liability is settled or the asset realised, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

– 52 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX IIA

Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised in profit or loss, or in other comprehensive income or directly in equity if they relate to items that are charged or credited to other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are presented in net if, and only if,

  • (a) the Target Group has the legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts; and

  • (b) intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The Target Group presents deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities in net if, and only if,

  • (a) the entity has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and

  • (b) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:

  • (i) the same taxable entity; or

  • (ii) different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

2.17 Employee benefits

(i) Retirement benefits

Retirement benefits to employees are provided through defined contribution plans.

In accordance with the rules and regulations in the PRC, the Target Group is required to participate in a central pension scheme operated by the local municipal government. The Target Group is required to contribute certain percentage of the PRC based employees’ payroll costs to the central pension scheme. Contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss as employees render services during the Relevant Periods. The Target Group’s obligations under the plans are limited to the fixed percentage contributions payable. Other than the monthly contributions, the 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 Target Group in independently administrated funds managed by the PRC government.

(ii) Short-term employee benefits

Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised 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 reporting date.

Non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave and maternity leave are not recognised until the time of leave.

2.18 Financial liabilities

The Target Group’s financial liabilities include accruals and other payables and borrowings.

Financial liabilities are recognised when the Target Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All interest related charges are recognised in accordance with the Target Group’s accounting policy for borrowing cost (see note 2.21).

– 53 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX IIA

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.

(i) Borrowings

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

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

(ii) Other financial liabilities

Accruals and other payables are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method, unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

2.19 Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognised when the Target Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation.

All provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future uncertain events not wholly within the control of the Target Group are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

Contingent liabilities are recognised in the course of the allocation of purchase price to the assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination.

2.21 Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs incurred for the acquisition, construction or production of any qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. A qualifying asset is an asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed when incurred.

Borrowing costs are capitalised as part of the cost of a qualifying asset when expenditure for the asset is being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are being undertaken. Capitalisation of borrowing costs ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are complete.

2.22 Segment reporting

The Target Group identifies operating segments and prepares segment information based on the regular internal financial information reported to the director for their decisions about resources allocation to the Target Group’s business components and for their review of the performance of those components. The business components in the internal financial information reported to the director are determined following the Target Group’s major services lines.

The director has identified the Target Group’s two service lines as operating segments as follows:

  • (a) Properties investment consists of the leasing of property; and

  • (b) Provision of cleaning services.

Each of these operating segments is managed separately as each of services lines requires different resources as well as marketing approaches. No inter-segment transfers are carried out during the Relevant Periods and six months ended 30 June 2012.

The Measurement policies of the Target Group uses for reporting segment results under HKFRS 8 are the same as those used its Financial Information prepared under HKFRSs, except that gains on bargaining purchase of subsidiaries, discount on loans from related company and a third party and imputed interest on

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experiences and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

(a) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The 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 discussed below.

(i) PRC corporate income taxes

Some subsidiaries of the Target Group operates in the PRC and is subject to income tax in the PRC. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax. 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 is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such difference will impact the income tax and deferred tax provision in the period in which such determination is made.

(ii) Estimated fair value of investment property

Investment property is revalued at the end of each reporting period based on the appraised market value provided by independent professional qualified valuers. Such valuations were based on certain assumptions, which are subject to uncertainty and might materially differ from the actual results. In making the estimation, information from current prices in an active market for similar property is considered and assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period are used.

(iii) Impairment of interests in subsidiaries

The Target Group’s management follows the guidance of HKAS 36 Impairment of assets, in determining whether interests in subsidiaries are impaired requires the assumption made regarding the financial health of near-term business outlook for the investment, including factors such as industry and sector performance, changes in technology and operational and financing cash flow.

Based on the Target Group’s assessment there is no requirement to provide for any allowance for impairment in value of interests in subsidiaries. The Target Company’s carrying amount of interests in subsidiary at 30 June 2013 was RMB1.

5. SEGMENT INFORMATION — THE TARGET GROUP

The Target Group is organised into two business units, based on which information is prepared and reported to the Target Group’s chief operating decision maker, for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of performance. However, no segment information can be provided for the period from 25 January 2011 to 31 December 2011 and as at 31 December 2011, as the Target Group was investment holding during that period.

The fair values of the investment property of the Target Group as at 31 December 2012 and 30 June 2013 were assessed by B.I. Appraisals Limited, an independent qualified valuer. B.I. Appraisals Limited is members of the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors with recent experience in the location and category of property being valued. Valuations were based on direct comparison approach, assuming that the property is capable of being sold with the benefit of immediate vacant possession, and by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant market.

The Target Group’s property interests held under operating leases to earn rentals or for capital appreciation purposes are measured using the fair value model and are classified and accounted for as investment property.

The total future minimum lease receivable under non-cancellable operating leases is shown in note 26.

As at 31 December 2012 and 30 June 2013, investment property of approximately RMB654,000,000 and RMB656,000,000 respectively was pledged as collateral for the Target Group’s bank borrowings.

The following table presents the Target Group’s investment property measured at fair value in the consolidated statements of financial position in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. The hierarchy groups the investment property into three levels based on the relative reliability of significant inputs used in measuring the fair value of the investment property. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

  • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets;

  • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived form prices); and

  • Level 3: inputs for the asset that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The Target Group’s investment property stated at fair value in the consolidated statements of financial position at each reporting date is grouped into the fair value hierarchy as follows:

Investment property located
in Guangzhou, the PRC

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX IIA

Neither acquisition-related costs have been charged to administrative expenses in the consolidated income statement for the period from 3 July 2012 to 31 December 2012 nor have been included in consideration transferred.

Gain on bargaining purchase arose from the excess of fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities of the Yijie Group over the cost of acquisition. The total revenue of the Yijie Group for the period from 3 July 2012 to 31 December 2012 was approximately RMB3,600,000, which contributed approximately RMB3,600,000 to the revenue of the Target Group. Profit of the Yijie’s Group for the period from 3 July 2012 to 31 December 2012 was approximately RMB66,010,000.

Had these business combinations been effected at 1 January 2012, the revenue of the Target Group from continuing operations would have been RMB7,200,000, and the profit for the year from continuing operations would have been RMB72,524,000. The director of the Target Group considers these ‘pro-forma’ numbers to represent an approximate measure of the performance of the Target Group on an annualized basis and to provide a reference point for comparison in future periods.

29. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Target Group is exposed to financial risks in the normal course of its business. The Target Group’s major financial instruments include available-for-sale financial assets, deposits and other receivables, pledged deposit for short term bank loans, cash and cash equivalents, accruals and payables and borrowings. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies applied by the Target Group to mitigate these risks are set out below. The director of the Target Group manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented in a timely and effective manner.

(b) Foreign currency risk

Currency risk refers to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign currency. The Target Group has no significant exposure to foreign currency risk as substantially of the Target Group’s transactions are denominated in its functional currency.

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument would fail to discharge its obligation under the terms of the financial instrument and cause a financial loss to the Target Group.

The carrying amounts of other receivables, pledged deposit and cash and cash equivalent included in the face of the consolidated statements of financial position represent the Target Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to its financial assets.

The Target Group reviews the recoverable amount of account receivable at each reporting date to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts.

The Target Group maintains its pledged deposit and cash and cash equivalents with reputable banks in the PRC, therefore the director considers that the credit risk for such is minimal.

(d) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk relates to the risk that the fair value or cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

The Target Group’s interest rate risk arises from interest bearing bank deposits and bank borrowings.

The Target Group has interest-bearing assets and liabilities in relation to pledged deposit, cash at bank and borrowings. Details of which are disclosed in notes 18, 19 and 21. The Target Group currently does not have any interest rate hedging policy and will consider enter into interest rate hedging should the need arises. The Target Group ensures that it borrows at competitive interest rates under favourable terms and conditions.

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the Target Group’s exposure to interest rates for the stipulated changes taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the financial period in the case of financial instruments that bear interest at floating rates. 100 basis points increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the effect from reasonably possible change in interest rates.

If the interest rates have been higher or lower and all other variables are held constant, the Target Group’s profit for the Relevant Periods would decrease or increase accordingly. This is mainly attributable to the Target Group’s exposure to interest rates on its floating rate borrowings which are not hedged. The following analysis shows the Target Group’s sensitivity to interest rates exposure.

Conversely, if the interest rates were to decline, the effect would be an increase in the Target Group’s result by the amount shown above.

(e) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk relates to the risk that the Target Group will not be able to meet its obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or other financial assets. The Target Group is exposed to liquidity risk in respect of settlement of accruals and other payables and borrowings, and also in respect of its cash flow management. The Target Group’s objective is to maintain an appropriate level of liquidity assets and committed lines of funding to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.

The Target Group’s liquidity is mainly dependent upon the cash received from its customers and available financing, including short term bank loans and financial support from related parties. The director of the Target Group is satisfied that the Target Group will be able to meet in full its financial obligations as and when they fall due in the foreseeable future.

The liquidity policies have been followed by the Target Group since prior years and are considered to have been effective in managing liquidity risks.

The following tables detail the remaining contractual maturities at the end of the reporting date of the Target Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities, which are based on contractual undiscounted cash flows and the earliest date the Target Group can be required to pay:

We set out below our report on the financial information of Guangzhou Yijie Cleaning Company Limited (‘‘Yijie’’) and its subsidiary (hereinafter collectively referred to as the ‘‘Yijie Group’’) comprised the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and the consolidated statements of cash flows of the Yijie Group for the years ended 31 December 2010, 31 December 2011, 31 December 2012, and the six months ended 30 June 2013 (the ‘‘Relevant Periods’’), and the consolidated statement of financial position of the Yijie Group and statements of financial position of Yijie as at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 and 30 June 2013, together with notes thereto (the ‘‘Financial Information’’), the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows of the Yijie Group for the six months ended 30 June 2012 (the ‘‘Interim Comparative Information’’), for inclusion in a circular (the ‘‘Circular’’) dated 25 October 2013 issued by Talent Property Group Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) in connection with the proposed acquisition of the entire issued share capital of Neo Bloom Limited (the ‘‘Target’’), an intermediate holding company of Yijie.

Yijie was established on 14 June 2008 in the People’s Republic of China (the ‘‘PRC’’) with limited liability and engaged in the provision of cleaning services and investment holding. On 19 December 2011, Yijie acquired Liwan Qi Che Zhi Pei Factory Company Limited (‘‘Liwan Qi Pei’’) which is registered in the PRC and engaged in property investment activity. The financial year ended date of Yijie and its subsidiary is 31 December. The statutory financial statements of Yijie and Liwan Qi Pei were prepared in accordance with relevant accounting rules and financial regulations applicable to enterprise established in the PRC (the ‘‘PRC GAAP’’). The statutory financial statements of Yijie for the year ended 31 December 2011 were audited by Guangzhou New Suidong Certified Public Accountants Co., Ltd. (廣州新 穗東會計師事務所有限公司), and the statutory financial statements of Yijie for the year ended 31 December 2012 and the statutory financial statements of Liwan Qi Pei for the years ended 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 were audited by Guangzhou Jian Ming Certified Public Accountants Co., Ltd. (廣州健明會計師事務所有限公司) respectively. However, Yijie was not required to prepare the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 due to small scale of business according to the PRC requirement.

For the purpose of this report, the director of the Yijie Group have prepared the Financial Information of the Yijie Group (the ‘‘Underlying Financial Information’’) in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (‘‘HKFRSs’’), which include all Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (‘‘HKASs’’) and Interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE YIJIE GROUP

APPENDIX IIC

‘‘HKICPA’’). We have, for the purpose of this report, carried out appropriate audit procedures in respect of the Underlying Financial Information for the Relevant Periods in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA.

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

DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITY

The director of the Yijie Group is responsible for the preparation of the Underlying Financial Information, the Financial Information and the Interim Comparative Information of the Yijie Group for the Relevant Periods that give a true and fair view in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA, and for such internal control as the director of the Yijie Group determine is necessary to enable the preparation of Underlying Financial Information, the Financial Information and the Interim Comparative Information that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

The director of the Company is responsible for the contents of the Circular in which this report is included.

REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ RESPONSIBILITY

It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion and a review conclusion on the Financial Information and the Interim Comparative Information, respectively, and to report our opinion and review conclusion thereon to you.

For the purpose of this report, we have carried out procedures on the Financial Information in accordance with Auditing Guideline 3.340 ‘‘Prospectuses and the Reporting Accountant’’ issued by the HKICPA.

We have also performed a review of the Interim Comparative Information in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the HKICPA. A review consists principally of making enquiries of management and applying analytical and other review procedures to the financial information and, based thereon, assessing whether the accounting policies and presentation have been consistently applied unless otherwise disclosed. A review excludes audit procedures such as test of controls and verification of assets and liabilities and transactions. It is substantially less in scope than an audit and therefore provides a lower level of assurance than an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the Interim Comparative Information.

OPINION IN RESPECT OF THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

In our opinion, for the purpose of this report, the Financial Information give a true and fair view of the state of affair of the Yijie Group and Yijie as at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 and 30 June 2013, and of the result and cash flows for the Relevant Periods.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE YIJIE GROUP

APPENDIX IIC

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to note 2.2 to the Financial Information which indicates that the Yijie Group had net current liabilities of approximately RMB142,613,000, RMB214,423,000 and RMB94,291,000 as at 31 December 2011, 31 December 2012 and 30 June 2013 respectively and Yijie had net current liabilities of approximately RMB49,186,000 and RMB49,429,000 as at 31 December 2011 and 31 December 2012 respectively; and the Yijie Group had capital commitment in respect of further development costs for investment property of approximately RMB58,833,000 (note 27 of Section II below) as at 30 June 2013. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Yijie Group’s and Yijie’s ability to continue as a going concern.

REVIEW CONCLUSION IN RESPECT OF THE INTERIM COMPARATIVE INFORMATION

Based on our review which does not constitute an audit, for the purpose of this report, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Interim Comparative Information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 2 of Section II below.

The addresses of its registered office and principal place of business is self-coded Room 101–3, No. 45–14, Tianhe Road, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, the People’s Republic of China.

The principal activity of Yijie is provision of cleaning services and investment holding. On 19 December 2011, Yijie acquired the entire interest of Liwan Qi Che Zhi Pei Factory Company Limited (‘‘Liwan Qi Pei’’), which principal activity is property development.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1 Basis of preparation

The Financial Information have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (‘‘HKFRSs’’) which collective term includes all applicable individual Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (‘‘HKASs’’) and Interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (‘‘HKICPA’’), accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong. All HKFRSs effective for the accounting period commencing from 1 January 2013 together with the relevant transitional provisions, have been early adopted by the Yijie Group in the preparation of the Financial Information throughout the Relevant Periods and the period covered by the Interim Comparative Information.

The significant accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of the Financial Information are summarised below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the Relevant Periods presented unless otherwise stated.

The Financial Information has been prepared on the historical cost basis except for investment property which is stated at its fair value. The measurement basis is fully described in the accounting policies below. The Financial Information is presented in Renminbi and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.

The preparation of the Financial Information requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of reporting period. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

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 4.

2.2 Going concern convention

The Financial Information have been prepared on a going concern basis even though the Yijie Group had net current liabilities of approximately RMB142,613,000, RMB214,423,000 and RMB94,291,000 as at 31 December 2011, 31 December 2012 and 30 June 2013 respectively; and the Yijie Group had capital

– 88 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE YIJIE GROUP

APPENDIX IIC

commitment in respect of further development costs for investment property of approximately RMB58,833,000 (note 27 of Section II below) as at 30 June 2013 and Yijie had net current liabilities of approximately RMB49,186,000 and RMB49,429,000 as at 31 December 2011 and 31 December 2012 respectively. In the opinion of the director, the Yijie Group will have sufficient working capital to finance its working capital and capital expenditure for the next fiscal year after taking into consideration the following:

  • (a) The investment property of the Yijie Group, which had a fair value of RMB656,000,000 on 30 June 2013 in accordance with a valuation performed by independent professional qualified valuers as further detailed in note 13 of this section, allow the Yijie Group to obtain adequate loan facilities to refinance the secured bank borrowings as at 30 June 2013 when they become due for repayment; and

  • (b) The Group has agreed to provide financial support to the Yijie Group to enable them to meet their financial liabilities as and when they fall due and to enable the Yijie Group to continue operating for the foreseeable future after the Completion.

2.3 Basis of consolidation

The Financial Information incorporate the financial statements of the Yijie Group (see note 2.4 below) made up to 31 December.

Subsidiary is consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Yijie Group. They are excluded from consolidation from the date that control ceases.

Intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains and losses on transactions between group companies are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Where unrealised losses on intragroup asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment from the Yijie Group’s perspective. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiary have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Yijie Group.

2.4 Subsidiary

Subsidiary is entity over which Yijie has the power to control the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether Yijie controls another entity.

In consolidated financial statements, acquisition of subsidiary (other than those under common control) is accounted for by applying the acquisition method. This involves the estimation of fair value of all identifiable assets and liabilities, including contingent liabilities of the subsidiary, at the acquisition date, regardless of whether or not they were recorded in the financial statements of the subsidiary prior to acquisition. On initial recognition, the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary are included in the consolidated statements of financial position at their fair values, which are also used as the bases for subsequent measurement in accordance with Yijie’s accounting policies.

In Yijie’s statements of financial position, subsidiary is carried at cost less any impairment loss. The results of subsidiary are accounted for by Yijie on the basis of dividends received and receivable at the reporting date.

2.5 Business combination

The acquisition of business is accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of the acquisition is measured at the aggregate of fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Yijie Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognised in profit or loss as incurred. The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under HKFRS 3 ‘‘Business combinations’’ are recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date.

– 89 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE YIJIE GROUP

APPENDIX IIC

Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised as an asset and initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Yijie Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. If, after reassessment, the Yijie Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceeds the cost of the business combination, the excess is recognised immediately in the profit or loss.

2.6 Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss.

Depreciation on plant and equipment is provided to write off the cost less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method, at the following rates per annum:

Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 20%–33.3% Motor vehicle 20%

The asset’s residual values, deprecation methods and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

The gain or loss arising on retirement or disposal is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Yijie Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs, such as repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

2.7 Impairment of non-financial assets

Plant and equipment and interests in subsidiary are subject to impairment testing.

An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value, reflecting market conditions less costs to sell, and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of time value of money and the risk specific to the asset.

For the purposes of assessing impairment, where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent from those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of assets that generate cash inflows independently (i.e. a cash-generating unit). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level.

As assessment is made at the end of each reporting periods as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment loss may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss of an asset other than goodwill is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount of that asset. A reversal of impairment loss is limited to the asset’s carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the year in which the reversals are recognised.

2.8 Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the consolidated financial statements of the Yijie Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which Yijie operates (the ‘‘functional currency’’). The Financial Information is presented in RMB, which is the functional and presentation currency.

2.9 Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Provided it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Yijie Group and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably, revenue is recognised as follows:

Rental income of property leasing under operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Services income is recognised when the services are rendered.

Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.

2.10 Investment property

Property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation, and that is not occupied by the Yijie Group, is classified as investment property. Property that is currently being constructed or developed for future use as investment property is classified as investment property.

Investment property comprises land held under operating leases. Land held under operating leases are classified and accounted for as investment property when the rest of the definition of investment property is met (see note 2.11).

Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction costs.

Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is measured at fair value. Where fair value of investment property under construction is not reliably measurable, the property is measured at cost until the earlier of the date construction is completed or the date at which fair value becomes reliably measurable. Fair value is based on active market prices, adjusted, if necessary, for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. If this information is not available, the Yijie Group uses alternative valuation methods such as recent prices on less active markets or discounted cash flow projections.

The fair value of investment property reflects, among other things, rental income from current leases and assumptions about rental income from future leases in light of current market conditions.

Subsequent expenditure is charged to the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Yijie Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Any gain or loss arising from a change in fair values of an investment property is recognised in profit or loss.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE YIJIE GROUP

APPENDIX IIC

2.11 Leases

An arrangement, comprising a transaction or a series of transactions, is or contains a lease if the Yijie Group determines that the arrangement conveys a right to use a specific asset or assets for an agreed period of time in return for a payment or a series of payments. Such a determination is made based on an evaluation of the substance of the arrangement and is regardless of whether the arrangement takes the legal form of a lease.

(i) Classification of assets leased to the Yijie Group

Assets that are held by the Yijie Group under leases which transfer to the Yijie Group substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as being held under finance leases. Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the Yijie Group are classified as operating leases, with the following exceptions:

  • property held under operating leases that would otherwise meet the definition of an investment property is classified as an investment property on a property-by-property basis and, if classified as investment property, is accounted for as if held under a finance lease (see note 2.10); and

  • land held for own use under an operating lease, the fair value of which cannot be measured separately from the fair value of a building situated thereon at the inception of the lease, is accounted for as being held under a finance lease, unless the building is clearly held under an operating lease. For these purposes, the inception of the lease is the time that the lease was first entered into by the Yijie Group, or taken over from the previous lessee.

  • (ii) Operating lease charges as the lessor

Assets leased out under operating leases are included in investment property in the consolidated statements of financial position. Rental receivable under the operating leases are credit to profit or loss on the straight-line basis over the lease terms.

2.12 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and in hand, demand deposits with banks and short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

2.13 Financial assets

The Yijie Group’s accounting policies for financial assets other than interests in subsidiary are set out below. Financial assets of the Yijie Group are classified into the following categories:

  • loans and receivables

  • available-for-sale financial assets

Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition depending on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired and where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at every reporting date.

All financial assets are recognised when, and only when, the Yijie Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Regular way purchases of financial assets are recognised on trade date. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, directly attributable transaction costs.

Derecognition of financial assets occurs when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments expire or are transferred and substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred.

– 92 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE YIJIE GROUP

APPENDIX IIC

At each reporting date, financial assets are reviewed to assess whether there is objective evidence of impairment. If any such evidence exists, impairment loss is determined and recognised based on the classification of the financial asset.

(i) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Amortised cost is calculated taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and includes fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate and transaction cost.

(ii) Available-for-sale financial assets

Non-derivative financial assets that do not qualify for inclusion in any of the other categories of financial assets are classified as available-for-sale financial assets.

All financial assets within this category are subsequently measured at fair value. Gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value excluding any dividend and interest income is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated separately in the fair value reserve for available-of-sale financial assets in equity, except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets, until the financial asset is derecognised, at which time the cumulative gain or loss is reclassified from equity to profit or loss. Interest calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in profit or loss.

The fair value of available-for-sale monetary assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the reporting date. The change in fair value attributable to translation differences that result from a change in amortised cost of the asset is recognised in profit or loss, and other changes are recognised in other comprehensive income.

For available-for-sale investments in equity securities that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured and derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity instruments, they are measured at cost less any identified impairment losses at each reporting date subsequent to initial recognition.

Impairment of financial assets

At each reporting date, financial assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any objective evidence of impairment.

Objective evidence of impairment of individual financial assets includes observable data that comes to the attention of Yijie Group about one or more of the following loss events:

  • significant financial difficulty of the debtor;

  • a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;

  • it becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;

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

  • a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below its cost.

– 93 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE YIJIE GROUP

APPENDIX IIC

Loss events in respect of a group of financial assets include observable data indicating that there is a measureable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from the group of financial assets. Such observable data includes but not limited to adverse changes in the payment status of debtors in the group and, national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the group.

If any such evidence exists, the impairment loss is measured and recognised as follows:

  • (i) Financial assets carried at amortised cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortised cost has been incurred, 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 (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss of the period in which the impairment occurs.

If, in subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that it does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset exceeding what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised at the date the impairment is reversed. The amount of the reversal is recognised in profit or loss of the period in which the reversal occurs.

  • (ii) Unquoted equity securities stated at cost which are classified as available-for-sale financial assets

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

Financial assets other than financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and trade receivables that are stated at amortised cost, impairment losses are written off against the corresponding assets directly. Where the recovery of trade receivables is considered doubtful but not remote, the impairment losses for doubtful receivables are recorded using an allowance account. When the Yijie Group is satisfied that recovery of trade receivables is remote, the amount considered irrecoverable is written off against trade receivables directly and any amounts held in the allowance account in respect of that receivable are reversed. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously charged to the allowance account are reversed against the allowance account. Other changes in the allowance account and subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off directly are recognised in profit or loss.

2.14 Accounting for income taxes

Income tax comprises current tax and deferred tax.

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, taking into consideration interpretations and practices prevailing in the country in which the Yijie Group operates. All changes to current tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of tax expense in profit or loss.

Deferred tax is calculated using the liability method on temporary differences at the reporting date between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, tax losses available to be carried forward as well as other unused tax credits, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit, including existing taxable temporary differences, will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised.

– 94 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE YIJIE GROUP

APPENDIX IIC

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither taxable nor accounting profit or loss.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiary, except where the Yijie Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

An exception to the general requirement on determining the appropriate tax rate used in measuring deferred tax amount is when an investment property is carried at fair value under HKAS 40 ‘‘Investment Property’’. Unless the presumption is rebutted, the deferred tax amounts on these investment properties are measured using the tax rates that would apply on sale of these investment properties at their carrying amounts at each reporting date. The presumption is rebutted when the investment property is depreciable and is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all the economic benefits embodied in the property over time, rather than through sale.

Deferred tax is calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply in the period the liability is settled or the asset realised, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised in profit or loss, or in other comprehensive income or directly in equity if they relate to items that are charged or credited to other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are presented in net if, and only if,

  • (a) the Yijie Group has the legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts; and

  • (b) intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

  • The Yijie Group presents deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities in net if, and only if,

  • (a) the entity has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and

  • (b) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:

  • (i) the same taxable entity; or

  • (ii) different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

2.15 Employee benefits

  • (i) Retirement benefits

Retirement benefits to employees are provided through defined contribution plans.

In accordance with the rules and regulations in the PRC, the Yijie Group is required to participate in a central pension scheme operated by the local municipal government. The Yijie Group is required to contribute certain percentage of the PRC based employees’ payroll costs to the central pension scheme. Contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss as employees render services during the Relevant Periods. The Yijie Group’s obligations under the plans are limited to the fixed percentage contributions payable. Other than the monthly contributions, the Yijie Group has no further obligation

– 95 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE YIJIE GROUP

APPENDIX IIC

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 Yijie Group in independently administrated funds managed by the PRC government.

(ii) Short-term employee benefits

Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised 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 reporting date.

Non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave and maternity leave are not recognised until the time of leave.

2.16 Financial liabilities

The Yijie Group’s financial liabilities include accruals and other payables and borrowings.

Financial liabilities are recognised when the Yijie Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All interest related charges are recognised in accordance with the Yijie Group’s accounting policy for borrowing cost (see note 2.19).

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.

(i) Borrowings

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

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

(ii) Other financial liabilities

Accruals and other payables are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method, unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

2.17 Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognised when the Yijie Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation.

All provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

– 96 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE YIJIE GROUP

APPENDIX IIC

Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future uncertain events not wholly within the control of the Yijie Group are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

Contingent liabilities are recognised in the course of the allocation of purchase price to the assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination. They are initially measured at fair value at the date of acquisition and subsequently measured at the higher of the amount that would be recognised in a comparable provision as described above and the amount initially recognised less any accumulated amortisation, if appropriate.

2.18 Related parties

A party is considered to be related to the Yijie Group if:

  • (a) the party is a person or a close member of that person’s family and that person

  • (i) has control or joint control over the Yijie Group;

  • (ii) has significant influence over the Yijie Group; or

  • (iii) is a member of key management personnel of the Yijie Group or its parent;

or

  • (b) the party is an entity where any of the following conditions applies:

  • (i) the entity and the Yijie Group are members of the same group;

  • (ii) one entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or of a parent, subsidiary or fellow subsidiary of the other entity);

  • (iii) the entity and the Yijie Group are joint ventures of the same third party;

  • (iv) one entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity;

  • (v) the entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the Yijie Group or an entity related to the Yijie Group;

  • (vi) the entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a); and

  • (vii) a person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).

Close members of the family of a person are those family members who may be expected to influence, or be influenced by, that person in their dealings with the entity.

2.19 Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs incurred for the acquisition, construction or production of any qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. A qualifying asset is an asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed when incurred.

– 97 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE YIJIE GROUP

APPENDIX IIC

Borrowing costs are capitalised as part of the cost of a qualifying asset when expenditure for the asset is being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are being undertaken. Capitalisation of borrowing costs ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are complete.

2.20 Segment reporting

The Yijie Group identifies operating segments and prepares segment information based on the regular internal financial information reported to the director for his decisions about resources allocation to the Yijie Group’s business components and for his review of the performance of those components. The business components in the internal financial information reported to the director are determined following the Yijie Group’s major services lines.

The director has identified the Yijie Group’s two service lines as operating segments as follows:

  • (a) Property investment consists of the leasing of property; and

  • (b) Provision of cleaning services.

Each of these operating segments is managed separately as each of services lines requires different resources as well as marketing approaches. No inter-segment transfers are carried out during the Relevant Periods and six months ended 30 June 2012.

The Measurement policies of the Yijie Group uses for reporting segment results under HKFRS 8 are the same as those used its Financial Information prepared under HKFRSs, except that gains on bargaining purchase of subsidiary, discount on loans from a related company and a third party and imputed interest on loans from a third party are not included in arriving at the operating results of the operating segment. In addition, the segment liabilities include all liabilities with exception of part of amounts due to and loans from a related company and a third party.

Segment assets are all operating assets that are employed by a segment in its operating activities and that either directly attributable to the segment or can be allocated to the segment on a reasonable basis. In addition, corporate assets, which are not directly attributable to the business activities of any operating segment are not allocated to a segment, which primarily applies to the Group’s headquarter.

Segment liabilities are all operating liabilities that are employed by a segment in its operating activities and that either directly attributable to the segment or can be allocated to the segment on a reasonable basis. In addition, corporate liabilities which are not directly attributable to the business activities of any operating segment are not allocated to a segment, which primarily applies to the Group’s headquarter.

3. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

During the Relevant Periods, the Yijie Group has adopted all the new or amended HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA which are relevant to the Yijie Group and effective for the reporting period.

– 98 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE YIJIE GROUP

APPENDIX IIC

At the date of this report, certain new or amended HKFRSs have been published but are not yet effective, and have not been adopted early by the Yijie Group.

Amendments to HKFRS 7 and HKFRS 9 Mandatory effective date of HKFRS 9 and transition Disclosures[2] Amendments to HKFRS 10, HKFRS 12 Investment entities[1] and HKAS 27 Amendments to HKAS 32 Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities[1] Amendments to HKAS 36 Recoverable amount disclosures for non-financial assets[1] Amendments to HKAS 39 Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement — Novation of derivatives and continuation of hedge accounting[1] HK (IFRIC) Interpretation 21 Levies[1]

Notes:

  • 1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014

  • 2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015

The director of the Yijie Group are in the process of making an assessment of the potential impact of these new or amended HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective and the director of the Yijie Group so far concluded that the application of these new or amended HKFRSs will have no material impact on the Yijie Group’s results of operations and financial position.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experiences and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

(a) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The Yijie 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 discussed below.

(i) PRC corporate income taxes

The Yijie Group operates in the PRC and is subject to income tax in the PRC. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax. 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 is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such difference will impact the income tax and deferred tax provision in the period in which such determination is made.

(ii) Estimated fair value of investment property

Investment property is revalued at the end of each reporting period based on the appraised market value provided by independent professional qualified valuers. Such valuations were based on certain assumptions, which are subject to uncertainty and might materially differ from the actual results. In making the estimation, information from current prices in an active market for similar property is considered and assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period are used.

– 99 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE YIJIE GROUP

APPENDIX IIC

(iii) Impairment of interests in subsidiary

The Yijie Group’s management follows the guidance of HKAS 36 Impairment of assets, in determining whether interests in subsidiary are impaired requires the assumption made regarding the financial health of near-term business outlook for the investment, including factors such as industry and sector performance, changes in technology and operational and financing cash flow.

Based on the Yijie Group’s assessment there is no requirement to provide for any allowance for impairment in value of interests in subsidiary. Yijie’s carrying amount of interests in subsidiary at 30 June 2013 was RMB57,573,000.

5. SEGMENT INFORMATION — THE YIJIE GROUP

The Yijie Group is organised into two business units, based on which information is prepared and reported to the Yijie Group’s chief operating decision maker, for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of performance.

Information of the Yijie Group’s operating and reportable segment are shown as follows:

26. ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARY — THE YIJIE GROUP

On 6 December 2011, Yijie signed a sale and purchase agreement with related parties to acquire entire equity interest of Liwan Qi Pei for a total consideration of RMB50,000,000 by cash and the acquisition was completed on 19 December 2011. This acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method. Liwan Qi Pei is engaged in property investment.

Assets acquired and liabilities of Liwan Qi Pei recognised at the date of acquisition are as follows:

Acquisition-related cost amounting to RMB48,000 has been excluded from the consideration transferred and has been recognised as an expense during the year ended 31 December 2011, within the ‘‘administration expenses’’ line item in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Gain on bargaining purchase arose from the excess of fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities of Liwan Qi Pei over the cost of acquisition. The total revenue of Liwan Qi Pei for the period from 19 December 2011 to 31 December 2011 was approximately RMB600,000, which contributed approximately RMB600,000 to the revenue of the Yijie Group. Profit of Liwan Qi Pei for the period from 19 December 2011 to 31 December 2011 was approximately RMB369,310.

Had these business combinations been effected at 1 January 2011, the revenue of the Liwan Qi Pei from continuing operations would have been RMB7,293,000, and the profit for the year from continuing operations would have been RMB17,497,000. The director of the Yijie Group considers these ‘pro-forma’ numbers to represent an approximate measure of the performance of the Yijie Group on an annualized basis and to provide a reference point for comparison in future periods.

(b) Foreign currency risk

Currency risk refers to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign currency. The Yijie Group has no significant exposure to foreign currency risk as substantially all of the Yijie Group’s transactions are denominated in its functional currency, Renminbi.

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument would fail to discharge its obligation under the terms of the financial instrument and cause a financial loss to the Yijie Group.

The carrying amounts of trade receivables, deposits and other receivables, pledged deposit and cash and cash equivalent included in the face of the consolidated statements of financial position represent the Yijie Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to its financial assets.

The Yijie Group reviews the recoverable amount of account receivable at each reporting date to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts.

The Yijie Group maintains its pledged deposit and cash and cash equivalents with reputable banks in the PRC, therefore the director considers that the credit risk for such is minimal.

(d) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk relates to the risk that the fair value or cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

The Yijie Group’s interest rate risk arises from interest bearing bank deposits and bank borrowings.

The Yijie Group has interest-bearing assets and liabilities in relation to pledged deposit, cash at bank and borrowings. Details of which are disclosed in notes 19, 20 and 22. The Yijie Group currently does not have any interest rate hedging policy and will consider enter into interest rate hedging should the need arises. The Yijie Group ensures that it borrows at competitive interest rates under favourable terms and conditions.

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the Yijie Group’s exposure to interest rates for the stipulated changes taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the financial period in the case of financial instruments that bear interest at floating rates. 100 basis points increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the effect from reasonably possible change in interest rates.

If the interest rates have been higher or lower and all other variables are held constant, the Yijie Group’s profit for the Relevant Periods would decrease or increase accordingly. This is mainly attributable to the Yijie Group’s exposure to interest rates on its floating rate borrowings which are not hedged. The following analysis shows the Yijie Group’s sensitivity to interest rates exposure.

(e) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk relates to the risk that the Yijie Group will not be able to meet its obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or other financial assets. The Yijie Group is exposed to liquidity risk in respect of settlement of accruals and other payables and borrowings, and also in respect of its cash flow management. The Yijie Group’s objective is to maintain an appropriate level of liquidity assets and committed lines of funding to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.

The Yijie Group’s liquidity is mainly dependent upon the cash received from its customers and available financing, including short term bank loans and financial support from related parties.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON LIWAN QI PEI

APPENDIX IIE

II. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Guangzhou City Liwan Qi Che Zhi Pei Factory Company Limited (‘‘Liwan Qi Pei’’) is a limited liability company registered in the People’s Republic of China (the ‘‘PRC’’). The address of its registered office and principal place of business is No. 18 Zhanxi Road, Liwan District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, the People’s Republic of China.

The principal activity of Liwan Qi Pei is property investment. In the opinion of the director of Liwan Qi Pei, as at 30 June 2013, Guangzhou Yijie Cleaning Company Limited (‘‘Yijie’’), a limited liability company registered in the PRC, is the immediate parent company, and Talent Trend Holdings Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, is the ultimate parent company of Liwan Qi Pei.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1 Basis of preparation

The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (‘‘HKFRSs’’) which collective term includes all applicable individual Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (‘‘HKASs’’) and Interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (‘‘HKICPA’’), accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong. All HKFRSs effective for the accounting period commencing from 1 January 2013, together with the relevant transitional provisions, have been early adopted by Liwan Qi Pei in the preparation of the Financial Information throughout the Relevant Periods and the period covered by the Interim Comparative Information.

The significant accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of the Financial Information are summarised below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the Relevant Periods presented unless otherwise stated.

The Financial Information has been prepared on the historical cost basis except for investment property which is stated at its fair value. The measurement basis is fully described in the accounting policies below. The Financial Information is presented in Renminbi and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.

The preparation of the Financial Information requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of reporting period. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

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 4.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON LIWAN QI PEI

APPENDIX IIE

2.2 Going concern convention

The Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis even though Liwan Qi Pei had net current liabilities of approximately RMB97,932,000, RMB93,427,000, RMB164,994,000 and RMB94,805,000 as at 31 December 2010, 31 December 2011, 31 December 2012 and 30 June 2013 respectively; and Liwan Qi Pei had capital commitment in respect of further development costs for investment property of approximately RMB58,833,000 (Note 24 of Section II below) as at 30 June 2013. In the opinion of the director, Liwan Qi Pei will have sufficient working capital to finance its operations and to meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due in the foreseeable future, after taking into consideration the following:

  • (i) The investment property of Liwan Qi Pei, which had a fair value of RMB656,000,000 on 30 June 2013 in accordance with a valuation performed by independent professional qualified valuers as further detailed in note 12 of this section, allow Liwan Qi Pei to obtain adequate loan facilities to refinance the secured bank borrowings as at 30 June 2013 when they become due for repayment; and

  • (ii) The Group has agreed to provide financial support to Liwan Qi Pei to enable it to meet its financial liabilities as when it fall due and to enable Liwan Qi Pei to continue operating for the foreseeable after the Completion.

2.3 Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the Financial Information of Liwan Qi Pei are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which Liwan Qi Pei operates (the ‘‘functional currency’’). The Financial Information is presented in RMB, which is the functional and presentation currency.

2.4 Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Provided it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to Liwan Qi Pei and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably, revenue is recognised as follows:

Rental income of property leasing under operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.

2.5 Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss.

Depreciation on plant and equipment is provided to write off the cost less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method, at the following rates per annum:

Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 20%–33.33% Motor vehicle 20%

The asset’s residual values, deprecation methods and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

The gain or loss arising on retirement or disposal is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to Liwan Qi Pei and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs, such as repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

– 141 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON LIWAN QI PEI

APPENDIX IIE

2.6 Impairment of non-financial assets

Plant and equipment are subject to impairment testing.

An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value, reflecting market conditions less costs to sell, and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of time value of money and the risk specific to the asset.

For the purposes of assessing impairment, where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent from those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of assets that generate cash inflows independently (i.e. a cash-generating unit). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level.

As assessment is made at the end of each reporting periods as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment loss may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss of an asset other than goodwill is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount of that asset. A reversal of impairment loss is limited to the asset’s carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the year in which the reversals are recognised.

2.7 Investment property

Property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation, and that is not occupied by Liwan Qi Pei, is classified as investment property. Property that is currently being constructed or developed for future use as investment property is classified as investment property.

Investment property comprises land held under operating leases. Land held under operating leases are classified and accounted for as investment property when the rest of the definition of investment property is met (see note 2.8).

Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction costs.

Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is measured at fair value. Where fair value of investment property under construction is not reliably measurable, the property is measured at cost until the earlier of the date construction is completed or the date at which fair value becomes reliably measurable. Fair value is based on active market prices, adjusted, if necessary, for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. If this information is not available, Liwan Qi Pei uses alternative valuation methods such as recent prices on less active markets or discounted cash flow projections.

The fair value of investment property reflects, among other things, rental income from current leases and assumptions about rental income from future leases in light of current market conditions.

Subsequent expenditure is charged to the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to Liwan Qi Pei and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Any gain or loss arising from a change in fair values of an investment property is recognised in profit or loss.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON LIWAN QI PEI

APPENDIX IIE

2.8 Leases

An arrangement, comprising a transaction or a series of transactions, is or contains a lease if Liwan Qi Pei determines that the arrangement conveys a right to use a specific asset or assets for an agreed period of time in return for a payment or a series of payments. Such a determination is made based on an evaluation of the substance of the arrangement and is regardless of whether the arrangement takes the legal form of a lease.

(i) Classification of assets leased to the Liwan Qi Pei

Assets that are held by Liwan Qi Pei under leases which transfer to Liwan Qi Pei substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as being held under finance leases. Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to Liwan Qi Pei are classified as operating leases, with the following exceptions:

  • property held under operating leases that would otherwise meet the definition of an investment property is classified as an investment property on a property-by-property basis and, if classified as investment property, is accounted for as if held under a finance lease (see note 2.7); and

  • land held for own use under an operating lease, the fair value of which cannot be measured separately from the fair value of a building situated thereon at the inception of the lease, is accounted for as being held under a finance lease, unless the building is clearly held under an operating lease. For these purposes, the inception of the lease is the time that the lease was first entered into by Liwan Qi Pei, or taken over from the previous lessee.

  • (ii) Operating lease charges as the lessor

Assets leased out under operating leases are included in investment property in the statements of financial position. Rental receivable under the operating leases are credit to profit or loss on the straight-line basis over the lease terms.

2.9 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and in hand, demand deposits with banks and short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

2.10 Financial assets

Liwan Qi Pei’s accounting policies for financial assets are set out below. Financial assets of Liwan Qi Pei are classified into the following categories:

  • loans and receivables

  • available-for-sale financial assets

Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition depending on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired and where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at every reporting date.

All financial assets are recognised when, and only when, Liwan Qi Pei becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Regular way purchases of financial assets are recognised on trade date. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus directly attributable transaction costs.

Derecognition of financial assets occurs when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments expire or are transferred and substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred.

– 143 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON LIWAN QI PEI

APPENDIX IIE

At each reporting date, financial assets are reviewed to assess whether there is objective evidence of impairment. If any such evidence exists, impairment loss is determined and recognised based on the classification of the financial asset.

(i) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Amortised cost is calculated taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and includes fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate and transaction cost.

(ii) Available-for-sale financial assets

Non-derivative financial assets that do not qualify for inclusion in any of the other categories of financial assets are classified as available-for-sale financial assets.

All financial assets within this category are subsequently measured at fair value. Gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value excluding any dividend and interest income is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated separately in the fair value reserve for available-of-sale financial assets in equity, except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets, until the financial asset is derecognised, at which time the cumulative gain or loss is reclassified from equity to profit or loss. Interest calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in profit or loss.

The fair value of available-for-sale monetary assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the reporting date. The change in fair value attributable to translation differences that result from a change in amortised cost of the asset is recognised in profit or loss, and other changes are recognised in other comprehensive income.

For available-for-sale investments in equity securities that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured and derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity instruments, they are measured at cost less any identified impairment losses at each reporting date subsequent to initial recognition.

Impairment of financial assets

At each reporting date, financial assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any objective evidence of impairment.

Objective evidence of impairment of individual financial assets includes observable data that comes to the attention of Liwan Qi Pei about one or more of the following loss events:

  • significant financial difficulty of the debtor;

  • a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;

  • it becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;

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

  • a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below its cost.

– 144 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON LIWAN QI PEI

APPENDIX IIE

Loss events in respect of a group of financial assets include observable data indicating that there is a measureable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from the group of financial assets. Such observable data includes but not limited to adverse changes in the payment status of debtors in the group and, national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the group.

If any such evidence exists, the impairment loss is measured and recognised as follows:

  • (i) Financial assets carried at amortised cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortised cost has been incurred, 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 (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss of the period in which the impairment occurs.

If, in subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that it does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset exceeding what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised at the date the impairment is reversed. The amount of the reversal is recognised in profit or loss of the period in which the reversal occurs.

  • (ii) Unquoted equity securities stated at cost which are classified as available-for-sale financial assets

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

Financial assets other than financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and trade receivables that are stated at amortised cost, impairment losses are written off against the corresponding assets directly. Where the recovery of trade receivables is considered doubtful but not remote, the impairment losses for doubtful receivables are recorded using an allowance account. When Liwan Qi Pei is satisfied that recovery of trade receivables is remote, the amount considered irrecoverable is written off against trade receivables directly and any amounts held in the allowance account in respect of that receivable are reversed. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously charged to the allowance account are reversed against the allowance account. Other changes in the allowance account and subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off directly are recognised in profit or loss.

2.11 Accounting for income taxes

Income tax comprises current tax and deferred tax.

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, taking into consideration interpretations and practices prevailing in the country in which Liwan Qi Pei operates. All changes to current tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of tax expense in profit or loss.

Deferred tax is calculated using the liability method on temporary differences at the reporting date between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, tax losses available to be carried forward as well as other unused tax credits, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit, including existing taxable temporary differences, will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised.

– 145 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON LIWAN QI PEI

APPENDIX IIE

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither taxable nor accounting profit or loss.

An exception to the general requirement on determining the appropriate tax rate used in measuring deferred tax amount is when an investment property is carried at fair value under HKAS 40 ‘‘Investment Property’’. Unless the presumption is rebutted, the deferred tax amounts on these investment properties are measured using the tax rates that would apply on sale of these investment properties at their carrying amounts at each reporting date. The presumption is rebutted when the investment property is depreciable and is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all the economic benefits embodied in the property over time, rather than through sale.

Deferred tax is calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply in the period the liability is settled or the asset realised, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised in profit or loss, or in other comprehensive income or directly in equity if they relate to items that are charged or credited to other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are presented in net if, and only if,

  • (a) Liwan Qi Pei has the legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts; and

  • (b) intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Liwan Qi Pei presents deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities in net if, and only if,

  • (a) the entity has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and

  • (b) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:

  • (i) the same taxable entity; or

  • (ii) different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

2.12 Employee benefits

  • (i) Retirement benefits

Retirement benefits to employees are provided through defined contribution plans.

In accordance with the rules and regulations in the PRC, Liwan Qi Pei is required to participate in a central pension scheme operated by the local municipal government. Liwan Qi Pei is required to contribute certain percentage of the PRC based employees’ payroll costs to the central pension scheme. Contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss as employees render services during the Relevant Periods. Liwan Qi Pei’s obligation under the plans is limited to the fixed percentage contributions payable. Other than the monthly contributions, Liwan Qi Pei 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 Liwan Qi Pei in independently administrated funds managed by the PRC government.

– 146 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON LIWAN QI PEI

APPENDIX IIE

(ii) Short-term employee benefits

Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised 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 reporting date.

Non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave and maternity leave are not recognised until the time of leave.

2.13 Financial liabilities

Liwan Qi Pei’s financial liabilities include accruals and other payables and borrowings.

Financial liabilities are recognised when Liwan Qi Pei becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All interest related charges are recognised in accordance with Liwan Qi Pei’s accounting policy for borrowing cost (see note 2.16).

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.

(i) Borrowings

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

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

(ii) Other financial liabilities

Accruals and other payables are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method, unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

2.14 Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognised when Liwan Qi Pei has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation.

All provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future uncertain events not wholly within the control of Liwan Qi Pei are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

APPENDIX IIE

2.15 Related parties

A party is considered to be related to Liwan Qi Pei if:

  • (a) the party is a person or a close member of that person’s family and that person

  • (i) has control or joint control over Liwan Qi Pei;

  • (ii) has significant influence over Liwan Qi Pei; or

  • (iii) is a member of key management personnel of Liwan Qi Pei or its parent;

or

  • (b) the party is an entity where any of the following conditions applies:

  • (i) the entity and Liwan Qi Pei are members of the same group;

  • (ii) one entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or of a parent, subsidiary or fellow subsidiary of the other entity);

  • (iii) the entity and Liwan Qi Pei are joint ventures of the same third party;

  • (iv) one entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity;

  • (v) the entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either Liwan Qi Pei or an entity related to Liwan Qi Pei;

  • (vi) the entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a); and

  • (vii) a person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).

Close members of the family of a person are those family members who may be expected to influence, or be influenced by, that person in their dealings with the entity.

2.16 Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs incurred for the acquisition, construction or production of any qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. A qualifying asset is an asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed when incurred.

Borrowing costs are capitalised as part of the cost of a qualifying asset when expenditure for the asset is being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are being undertaken. Capitalisation of borrowing costs ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are complete.

2.17 Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker (‘‘CODM’’). The CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the director of Liwan Qi Pei that make strategic decisions.

3. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

During the Relevant Periods, Liwan Qi Pei has adopted all the new or amended HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA which are relevant to Liwan Qi Pei and effective for the reporting period.

At the date of this report, certain new or amended HKFRSs have been published but are not yet effective, and have not been adopted early by Liwan Qi Pei.

Amendments to HKFRS 7 and Mandatory effective date of HKFRS 9 and transition disclosures[2] HKFRS 9 Amendments to HKFRS 10, Investment entities[1] HKFRS 12 and HKAS 27 Amendments to HKAS 32 Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities[1] Amendments to HKAS 36 Recoverable amount disclosures for non-financial assets[1] Amendments to HKAS 39 Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement — Novation of derivatives and continuation of hedge accounting[1] HK (IFRIC) Interpretation 21 Levies[1]

Notes:

  • 1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014

  • 2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015

The director of Liwan Qi Pei are in the process of making an assessment of the potential impact of these new or amended HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective and the director of Liwan Qi Pei so far concluded that the application of these new or amended HKFRSs will have no material impact on Liwan Qi Pei’s results of operations and financial position.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experiences and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

(a) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

Liwan Qi Pei 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 discussed below.

(i) PRC corporate income taxes

Liwan Qi Pei operates in the PRC and is subject to income tax in the PRC. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax. 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 is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such difference will impact the income tax and deferred tax provision in the period in which such determination is made.

(ii) Estimated fair value of investment property

Investment property is revalued at the end of each reporting period based on the appraised market value provided by independent professional qualified valuers. Such valuations were based on certain assumptions, which are subject to uncertainty and might materially differ from the actual results. In making the estimation, information from current prices in an active market for similar properties are considered and assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period are used.

(b) Foreign currency risk

Currency risk refers to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign currency. Liwan Qi Pei has no significant exposure to foreign currency risk as substantially all of Liwan Qi Pei’s transactions are denominated in its functional currency, Renminbi.

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument would fail to discharge its obligation under the terms of the financial instrument and cause a financial loss to Liwan Qi Pei.

The carrying amounts of trade receivables, deposits and other receivables, pledged deposit and cash and cash equivalent included in the face of the statements of financial position represent Liwan Qi Pei’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to its financial assets.

Liwan Qi Pei reviews the recoverable amount of account receivable at each reporting date to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts.

Liwan Qi Pei maintains its pledged deposit and cash and cash equivalents with reputable banks in the PRC, therefore the director considers that the credit risk for such is minimal.

(d) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk relates to the risk that the fair value or cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

Liwan Qi Pei’s interest rate risk arises from interest bearing bank deposits and bank borrowings.

Liwan Qi Pei has interest-bearing assets and liabilities in relation to pledged deposit, cash at bank and bank borrowings. Details of which are disclosed in notes 17, 18 and 20. Liwan Qi Pei currently does not have any interest rate hedging policy and will consider enter into interest rate hedging should the need arises. Liwan Qi Pei ensures that it borrows at competitive interest rates under favourable terms and conditions.

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on Liwan Qi Pei’s exposure to interest rates for the stipulated changes taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the financial period in the case of financial instruments that bear interest at floating rates. 100 basis points increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the effect from reasonably possible change in interest rates.

If the interest rates have been higher or lower and all other variables are held constant, Liwan Qi Pei’s profit for the Relevant Periods would decrease or increase accordingly. This is mainly attributable to Liwan Qi Pei’s exposure to interest rates on its floating rate borrowings which are not hedged. The following analysis shows Liwan Qi Pei’s sensitivity to interest rates exposure.

Dear Sirs,

Re: No. 18 Zhanxi Road (站西路), Liwan District (荔灣區), Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, The People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’)

In accordance with the instructions from Talent Property Group Limited (hereinafter referred to as the ‘‘Company’’) for us to value the captioned property (hereinafter referred to as the ‘‘Property’’), we confirm that we have carried out inspection, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of value of the Property as at 31 July 2013 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘‘Date of Valuation’’).

It is our understanding that this valuation document is to be used for reference purpose in relation to the possible acquisition of the Property. We further understand that our valuation and/or valuation report may subsequently be included in a circular to be issued by the Company regarding the proposed acquisition.

This letter, forming part of our valuation report, identifies the property being valued, explains the basis and methodology of our valuation, and lists out the assumptions and the title investigation we have made in the course of our valuation, as well as the limiting conditions.

BASIS OF VALUATION

Our valuation of the Property is our opinion of its market value which we would define as intended to mean ‘‘the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.’’

– 179 –

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX IV

Our valuation has been carried out in accordance with The HKIS Valuation Standards 2012 Edition issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors and under generally accepted valuation procedures and practices, which are in compliance 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.

VALUATION METHODOLOGY

The Property, as advised by the Company, is to be held for investment upon acquisition and completion of the proposed alteration and additional building works. We considered that the value of the Property is twofold; the value derived from the existing building and the value attributable to its development potential arising from the unused plot ratio of the Property.

We have valued, by using the Market Approach assuming that the Property is capable of being sold in its existing state. In addition, we have also taken into consideration its development potential, which derives from the unused plot ratio of the Property.

In arriving at the value of the existing building of the Property we made reference to comparable sale evidence as available in the relevant markets and, wherever appropriate, capitalized the current passing rent with due allowance to the reversionary income potential of the existing building.

The value attributable to its development potential was arrived at by making reference to transactions of comparable land parcels.

VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

Our valuation is made on the assumption that the Property would be sold in the open market without the benefit of deferred term contracts, lease backs, joint ventures, management agreements, or any similar arrangements, which could serve to affect its value. In addition, no account has been taken of any option or right of pre-emption concerning or effecting a sale and no forced sale situation in any manner is assumed in valuation.

No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the property valued nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the Property is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature that could affect its value.

TITLE INVESTIGATION

We have been provided by the Company with copies of title documents and a legal opinion dated 22 October 2013 prepared by 廣東君信律師事務所 (Kingson Law Firm), the Company’s legal advisor on PRC law (hereinafter referred to as the ‘‘PRC Legal Advisor’’), regarding the title to and the interest in the Property. All documents and leases have been used for reference only.

– 180 –

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX IV

In the course of our valuation, we have relied on the advice given by the Company and the legal opinion of the PRC Legal Advisor regarding the title to and the interest in the Property. We assume no responsibility for matters legal in nature nor do we render any opinion as to the title to the Property that is assumed to be good and marketable.

LIMITING CONDITIONS

We have inspected the interior of the Property on 20 August 2013. However, no structural survey has been made nor have any tests been carried out on any of the building services provided in the Property. We are, therefore, not able to report that the Property is free from rot, infestation or any other structural defects. Yet, in the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects.

We have not conducted any on-site measurement to verify the correctness of the site and floor areas of the Property but have assumed that the areas shown on the documents furnished to us are correct. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificate attached are based on information contained in the documents provided to us by the Company and are therefore approximations only.

Moreover, we have not carried out any site investigations to determine or otherwise the suitability of the ground conditions, the presence or otherwise of contamination and the provision of or otherwise suitability for services etc. for any future development. Our valuation is prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary expenses or delays will be incurred in the event of any development.

We have relied to a considerable extent on the information provided and the advice given to us by the Company on such matters as planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, tenure, particulars of occupancy, site and floor areas, latest development proposal and all other relevant matters in the identification of the Property. We have not seen original planning consents and have assumed that the Property has been erected, occupied and used in accordance with such consents.

We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Company. We were also advised by the Company that no material facts have been omitted from the information provided. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view, and have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld.

Our valuation reflects facts and conditions existing at the Date of Valuation. Subsequent events have not been considered and we are not required to update our report for such events and conditions.

This report and each part of it is prepared and intended for the exclusive use of the Company for the purpose hereinbefore stated. In accepting this report, the Company expressly agrees not to use or rely upon this report or any part of it for any other purpose without obtaining our prior written consent.
