LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED DISPOSAL

On 18 March 2013, the Group entered into the letter of intent with the Purchaser in relation to the Proposed Disposal. On 16 May 2013, the Vendor, an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Sale and Purchase Agreement with the Purchaser and pursuant to which the Purchaser has conditionally agreed to acquire and the Vendor has conditionally agreed to sell 100% of the equity interests in the Target.

PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Date:

16 May 2013 (after trading hours)

Parties:

  • (i) 新天地產集團有限公司 (Xintian Property Group Co., Ltd.*), an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, as the Vendor; and

  • (ii) 金盈灃股權投資基金(深圳)股份公司 (Jinyingfeng Equity Investment Fund (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd.*) as the Purchaser.

The Purchaser is an equity investment fund established in the PRC with limited liability and principally engaged in investment holding. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief and having made all reasonable enquiries, each of the Purchaser and its respective associates are Independent Third Parties.

Assets to be disposed

The Target is directly wholly owned by the Vendor and its main asset is the Hotel. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the registered and paid-up capital of the Target amounted to RMB358 million.

Consideration

The consideration for the Proposed Disposal is determined at after arm’s length negotiation with reference to, amongst other things, the net asset value as at 31 December 2012 (including the valuation of the Hotel as at 31 December 2012 of approximately RMB1,456 million valued by an independent professional valuer B.I. Appraisals Limited using direct comparison method and crossreferenced with income method), financial and operation performance of the Target, the instant availability of a well established five star standard luxury hotel and the prevailing market conditions of the hotel industry in Guangzhou, the PRC. The consideration of the Proposed Disposal is at RMB1,690 million (equivalent to approximately HK$2,116.2 million) deducting the outstanding bank borrowings and construction costs payable by the Target subject to the adjustment as at the date of the last tranche payment as stated below. For illustration purpose, the outstanding bank borrowings and construction costs amounted to approximately RMB675 million (equivalent to approximately

– 4 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

HK$845.2 million) based on the audited financial statements of the Target as at 31 December 2012 and the expected net consideration for the Proposed Disposal is approximately RMB1,015 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1,274.0 million) (the ‘‘Net Consideration’’).

Conditions precedent

The Sale and Purchase Agreement shall become effective upon satisfaction of, among others:

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

  • (ii) all necessary consents and approvals, including consent and approval from the Stock Exchange (if necessary) and the Hotel Manager having been obtained.

Payment terms

The Net Consideration shall be payable by the Purchaser to the Vendor by cash in four tranches, as follows:

  • (i) the first tranche of no less than 20% of the Net Consideration (the deposit of RMB50.0 million paid by the Purchaser in March 2013 shall be applied towards in satisfying such payment) shall be paid within 7 business days from the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement;

  • (ii) the second tranche of 30% of the Net Consideration shall be paid within two months from the date when the Sale and Purchase Agreement becomes effective;

  • (iii) the third tranche of 30% of the Net Consideration shall be paid within three months from the date when the Sale and Purchase Agreement becomes effective; and

  • (iv) the last tranche of the remaining balance of the Net Consideration shall be paid within ten months from the date when the Sale and Purchase Agreement becomes effective. This payment is subject to the final adjustment of the changes in outstanding bank borrowings and construction costs payable by the Target during 31 December 2012 and this payment date. In the event that the Purchaser makes the last tranche payments earlier, the Vendor shall pay interest thereon at the prevailing oneyear benchmark lending rate published by the People’s Bank of China for the actual days of such early payment.

The Vendor shall assist the Purchaser to apply for the registration and transfer of the 40% equity interests in the Target with the relevant government authorities within 30 days upon the Purchaser having paid in aggregate 50% of the total Net Consideration. In the event that the registration and transfer of the 40% equity interests in the Target was delayed due to the cause of the Vendor, the Purchaser has the right to defer the third tranche payment until such registration finishes.

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Upon full payment of the Net Consideration by the Purchaser, the Vendor shall assist the Purchaser to apply for the registration and transfer of the remaining 60% equity interests in the Target within a specific period to be determined by the Purchaser in writing.

Termination and Indemnity

If any of the conditions precedent set out in the section ‘‘Conditions precedent’’ shall not be fulfilled by the Long Stop Date, the parties to the Sale and Purchase Agreement shall have the right to terminate the Sale and Purchase Agreement unilaterally without any indemnity. Under such circumstance, the Vendor shall refund the first tranche payment (including the deposit in the sum of RMB50 million) to the Purchaser without any interest within 5 days from the date the Vendor sends or receives the written termination notice to or from the Purchaser. In the event such refund amount is overdue, the Vendor is liable to pay an overdue penalty equal to 0.05% of any refund amount daily until the refund amount is fully paid. If such refund amount is still overdue by 30 business days, the Vendor is liable to pay an additional penalty of RMB50 million.

If the Purchaser fails to pay any of the tranche of the Net Consideration in accordance with the time set out under the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser is liable to pay an overdue penalty on the delayed payment equal to 0.05% of any delayed payment daily until the delayed payment is fully paid.

In the event that either the first tranche or the second tranche payment payable by the Purchaser is overdue for more than 30 business days, the Vendor has the right and option to either terminate the Sale and Purchase Agreement unilaterally or continue to perform the Sale and Purchase Agreement. If the Vendor decides to terminate the Sale and Purchase Agreement, all previous payments made by the Purchaser to the Vendor shall not be refunded. If the Vendor decides to continue to perform the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser is liable to pay an overdue penalty equal to 0.05% of any delayed payment, together with an additional penalty of RMB50 million. Under such circumstance, the longest payment overdue shall not exceed over 120 days.

In the event that either the third tranche or the last tranche payment payable by the Purchaser is overdue for more than 30 business days, the Vendor has the right and option to either terminate the Sale and Purchase Agreement unilaterally or continue to perform the Sale and Purchase Agreement. If the Vendor decides to terminate the Sale and Purchase Agreement, all payments made by the Purchaser to the Vendor shall not be refunded and the Purchaser is also liable to pay an additional penalty of RMB100 million. Under such circumstance, the Purchaser has no right to request the Vendor to buy back the 40% equity interests in the Target. The Vendor, however, has the right to request the Purchaser to sell the 40% equity interests in the Target back to the Vendor at a price no higher than 50% of all the payment made by the Purchaser while the Purchaser is still liable to pay an additional penalty of RMB100 million. If the Vendor decides to continue to perform the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Vendor has the right to request the Purchaser to pay any remaining balance of the Net Consideration, together with an additional penalty of RMB100 million. Under such circumstance, the Vendor will proceed the registration and transfer the remaining equity interests in the Target upon full payment of the Net Consideration by the Purchaser.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In the event that the Purchaser cannot receive the relevant equity interests in the Target in accordance with terms set out under the Sale and Purchase Agreement by more than 45 business days and such delay is due to the cause of the Vendor, the Purchaser has the right to terminate the Sale and Purchase Agreement unilaterally. If the Purchaser terminates the Sale and Purchase Agreement prior to the transfer of the 40% equity interests of the Target, the Vendor is liable to return double amount of the first tranche and second tranche payments the Vendor received. If the 40% equity interests of the Target have been transferred to the Purchaser and the Purchaser terminates the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Vendor is liable to return all the payment made by the Purchaser, together with an additional penalty of RMB100 million. Under such circumstance, the Purchaser shall return the 40% equity interests in the Target within 5 business days upon full payment of the above refund and the penalty.

  • The exchange rates of RMB to HK$ for profit and loss in the year 2011 and 2012 were 1:1.20408 and 1:1.22575 respectively.

  • The exchange rates of RMB to HK$ for net assets in the year 2011 and 2012 were 1:1.229 and 1:1.241 respectively.

The Target was acquired by the Company among a group of project companies in 2010 and the valuation of the Hotel was approximately RMB1,308 million as at 31 July 2010, details of which can be referred to the circular of the Company dated 29 October 2010.

FINANCIAL IMPACT OF THE DISPOSAL ON THE GROUP

Upon completion, the Company will no longer have any interest in the Target and it will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company and the results of the Target will cease to be consolidated into the accounts of the Group. The Company expects to record a gain of approximately RMB162.1 million before corporate income tax payable by the Vendor, which is calculated by the Net Consideration minus the net asset value of the Target of approximately RMB852.9 million as at 31 December 2012. The final financial impact of the Proposed Disposal will be subject to the various book values of the Target as at the date of the last tranche payment as stated above and at the Completion Date.

The Group had audited total assets, total liabilities, total borrowing which includes bank borrowings, other unsecured borrowings and obligations under finance lease and net assets value of approximately HK$8,526.4 million, HK$7,660.8 million, HK$1,696.7 million and HK$865.6 million, respectively, as at 31 December 2012. The gearing ratio of the Group as at 31 December 2012 calculated by total borrowing divided by net assets value was approximately 196%. Upon completion of the Proposed Disposal, the total assets, total liabilities, total borrowing and net assets value of the Remaining Group will decrease to approximately HK$8,027.6 million, HK$7,198.1, HK$967.4 million and HK$829.6 million,

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

respectively, as illustrated in the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Remaining Group set out in Appendix III to this circular, and the gearing ratio of the Remaining Group will also decrease to approximately 117%.

The Company expects that approximately 50% of the proceeds from the Proposed Disposal of approximately RMB508 million will be used as general working capital including the payment of construction cost payable for a project under development, namely Xintian Banshan (South Lake Village Phase II) and tax payable in relation to the Proposed Disposal and other property projects of the Company and the rest will be reserved for pursuing investment opportunities in other property development if and when they arise in the future. The actual use of the proceeds from the Proposed Disposal is subject to the progress of presale of Xintian Banshan and the prevailing property market condition in PRC.

REASONS FOR THE DISPOSAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company is principally engaged in property development, investment and management and hotel operation 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. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the sale of Master Base Limited has completed and the Company has discontinued the electronic products operation.

Since the opening of the Hilton Guangzhou Tianhe in 2011, its brand name has received increasing local recognition. However, market competition has been intensified. Before the acquisition of the Target during 2010, there were limited five star standard international branded hotels within a three kilometers region in the heart of the Tianhe district in Guangzhou, the PRC. At that time, each of those three hotels, namely, The Westin Guangzhou (廣州海航威斯汀酒店), Grand Hyatt Guangzhou (廣州富力君悅大酒店), The Ritz Carlton Hotel Guangzhou (廣州富力麗思卡爾頓酒店) had approximately 450, 350 and 370 guess rooms, respectively.

During the period from the acquisition of the Target to the Latest Practicable Date, more and more international branded hotels were opened within the region, including Sofitel Guangzhou Sunrich (廣州聖豐索菲特酒店), Sheraton Guangzhou Hotel (粵海喜來登酒店), Crown Plaza Guangzhou City Centre (廣州中心皇冠假日酒店), Marriott Guangzhou Tianhe (廣州正佳廣場萬豪酒店), Four Seasons Hotel Guangzhou (廣州四季酒店), Mandarin Oriental, Guangzhou (廣州文華東方酒店) and W Guangzhou (廣州W酒店), each with guess rooms of approximately 490, 450, 460, 320, 340, 260 and 310, respectively.

Although improving operating results were achieved through management effort since the opening of the Hotel, it was still ranked fifth place and fourth place in terms of occupancy rate and average room rate, respectively, among the five hotels within the same competitor set in accordance with market share reports compiled by STR Global Limited, a global hotel market surveryor, as at 30 April 2013.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Despite the value of the hotel premise is high, the Group may only secure sufficient net operating cash inflow to meet its financing need and obtain net profit after depreciation, amortisation and finance costs through long-term operation and commitment. The Directors consider the Proposed Disposal represents a good opportunity for the Group to realise the value of the Target and concentrate resources on its real estate business; and would also enable the Group to strengthen its financial position and improve its gearing with an estimated pre-tax book gain of approximately RMB162.1 million before corporate income tax. Therefore, the Board is of the 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.

Apart from the Hotel, the current main property projects of the Company are Xintian Banshan and Forest Hills.

Xintian Banshan is a high-end residential project with large-sized units located in the South Lake in Baiyun district of Guangzhou, the PRC, which is a scenic area characterised by hills and lakes. The total planned gross floor area of Xiantian Banshan is approximately 98,000 square meters. It comprises 4 blocks of 24 to 27-storey apartment buildings and 43 blocks 3 to 6-storey villas. The construction work of the project is in progress. The structural work of 2 blocks of apartment buildings and 8 blocks of villas was substantially completed. Pre-sale permit of gross floor area 27,982 square meters for the apartment buildings has been granted and pre-sale is underway. Due to stringent controls on residential property market by the PRC government to curb surging housing prices, the pace of contract sales of the project is slower than expected. Recently, the Company has allocated more resources to expedite the development and pre-sale of Xintian Banshan.

Forest Hills is the available for sale portion of the Linhe Cun Rebuilding project. The rebuilding project is jointly developed with Sun Hung Kai Properties Group and the Company owns 30% equity interest in the project. Forest Hills is located in the prosperous business area of Tianhe District, Guangzhou, the PRC, and close to both Guangzhou East railway station and an interchange of two metro lines. The gross floor area of the small to medium-sized units of the high-end residential buildings and premium offices was 145,000 and 33,000 square meters, respectively. As of the Latest Practicable Date, the construction of the residential units was in progress and most of the first batch pre-sales residential units with gross floor area of 40,127 square meters had been sold. Regarding the resettlement portion for the original villagers of the Linhe Cun, its structural construction work is substantially completed. The Company also holds some commercial investment properties for rental income. Those investment properties are located in Guangzhou, the PRC and Hong Kong mainly comprising shops and residential unit. From time to time, the Company has been identifying certain suitable acquisition opportunity that will leverage on its expertise in city redevelopment.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios calculated under the Listing Rules in respect of the Proposed Disposal and the transactions contemplated under the Sale and Purchase Agreement are more than 75%, the Proposed Disposal constitutes a very substantial disposal of 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. To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquires, no Shareholder has a material interest in the Proposed Disposal and the transactions contemplated under the Sale and Purchase Agreement. As such, no Shareholder will be required to abstain from voting on the resolution(s) to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Proposed Disposal and the transactions contemplated under the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

Accordingly, the Board recommends the Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be proposed in the SGM to approve the Proposed Disposal and the transactions contemplated under the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

After disposal of the Target, the Group is principally engaged in property investment, development and management in Guangzhou.

Regarding the real estate market of major cities in PRC, during 2012, sales started off pretty weak and slowly picked up in June on the back of required reserve ratio cut and supports from the easing of Home Provident Fund (住房公積金) at local government level. In early November 2012, the National People’s Congress of the PRC (中國全國人民代表大會) ended up without much change on the policy front, and since then market sentiments have vividly turned positive with strong underlying demand releasing, which was backed up by the rapid availability of home mortgages from commercial banks. The expectation of an increasing home-price trend has again built-up in general public’s mind. In this respect, on 20 February 2013, the State Council of the PRC (中國國務院) released five new policies to regulate the real estate market, including new initiatives aimed at streamlining the work responsibility system for property prices, controlling speculative property investments, increasing commodity housing and land supply, stepping up construction of affordable housing, as well as tightening controls of the market. On 1 March 2013, the central government of the PRC rolled out specific rules to further tighten the control of the property market amid expectations for climbing housing prices. The measures include income taxes to be levied on home owners who sell their homes to second-hand buyers, and increasing down payment rate and loan interest rate for buyers who purchase the second unit.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

The Group has disposed its projects in Hainan Province, the current property development and investment projects of the Group are focused in Guangzhou. Although Guangzhou is a first-tier city where its real estate market is subject to stringent control, the domestic fundamental demand is still strong. In order to tackle the challenges brought by these new control policies, the Group will put extra efforts on the pre-sale and the speeding up of the construction of its project under development, namely, Xiantian Banshan (South Lake Village Phase II). It is expected an after-tax net cash inflow can be generated from the sales of this project in near terms. The Company owns 30% equity interest in the Linhe Cun Rebuilding project as a minority shareholder and develops the project jointly with Sun Hung Kai Properties Group. The Group will continue to explore business opportunity in redevelopment project given Guangzhou municipal government set up a department called ‘‘Municipal Office of Three Olds Redevelopment’’ (市‘‘三舊’’改造辦) which is principally responsible to monitor all redevelopments of old towns, old factories and old villages in Guangzhou to ensure those projects conducted in an effective and efficient manner. With proven track record on redevelopment projects such as Linhe Cun Rebuilding project and direct access to the local villagers, it is expected that national and overseas property developers may follow the Linhe Cun Rebuilding project model and be keen to set up strategic cooperative relationship with the Company. In addition, with the proceeds from the Proposed Disposal as well as future sales proceeds from Xintian Banshan, it even enables the Group to conduct a redevelopment project by its own. From time to time, the Company has been identifying certain suitable acquisition opportunity that will leverage on its expertise in city redevelopment. Considering these prospects, the Board is going to concentrate on its property development business and will devote more resources to support its growth.

5. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE REMAINING GROUP

Set out below is the management discussion and analysis on the Remaining Group for the three years ended 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012:

Business and financial review

On 10 December 2010 (the ‘‘Acquisition 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’’). Since then, the Group’s principal activities consist of real estate development, property investment, hotel operations, design and manufacture and sales of electronic products in the PRC, trading of equity investments and commodities.

Property development, investment and management

For the year ended 31 December 2010

Revenue totaling HK$64.0 million was recorded from the sales of properties as well as gross rental income from our investments properties and car parking spaces in Guangzhou, the PRC. Gross profit and segment profit amounted to HK$2.0 million and gross profit margin of 3.1% were recorded. It was the results of the real estate projects since the Acquisition Completion Date.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

For the year ended 31 December 2011

Revenue amounted to HK$296.8 million and HK$28.2 million were generated from the sales of properties and gross rental income from our investment properties and car parking spaces in Guangzhou, respectively. Approximately 670 units of car parking spaces and residential units of gross floor area (‘‘GFA’’) 1,570 square meters were sold. The increase of revenue was attributable to the consolidation of full year’s results of the business segment.

Gross profit of HK$20.6 million and gross profit margin of 6.3% were recorded in 2011. The strong upward momentum of property price in 2010 was halted by various austerity measures launched by the PRC Government. Hence, the properties were sold at a moderate price in 2011. However, the costs of properties sold during the year represent their fair values on the Acquisition Completion Date plus subsequent development costs. As a result, a slim gross profit margin was recorded.

A segment loss of HK$651.9 million was recorded. It was mainly attributable to (i) increased marketing expenses incurred for the pre-sale of residential units of the Hainan projects and various selling expenses for the sales of properties in Guangzhou; (ii) increased administrative and other operating expenses due to the consolidation of full year results; (iii) provision of impairment loss of HK$414.7 million on the properties under development in Hainan, the PRC as a result of persisted nationwide austerity measures in 2011 which corrected the Hainan market from its biggest property price hike in 2009 and 2010 arising from the theme of international tourism destination; and (iv) provision of impairment loss of HK$185.0 million and unfavourable fair value changes of HK$59.7 million were recorded for the completed properties held for sales and investment properties in Guangzhou, the PRC, respectively, as a result of adjustments in house prices and substantial reduction on transaction number of properties sales brought by onerous property control measures. Provision was reference to assessment made by professional independent qualified valuer.

For the year ended 31 December 2012

Revenue of HK$503.8 million was recorded from our property development business. Of which, HK$446.4 million and HK$41.9 million were attributable to the delivery of resident units of Yuhaiwan (譽海灣) in Haikou, Hainan province, the PRC, in second half of the year and sales of villas of Shangyu Garden (上譽花園) in Guangzhou. In last year, revenue was mainly attributable to sales of substantially all our car parking spaces in Guangzhou. Whereas, rental income reduced significantly to HK$17.4 million after the disposal of substantially all the commercial units of Dongmingxuan (東鳴軒) in early 2012. The Remaining Group also commenced the property management business and a revenue of HK$15.6 million was recorded.

A gross profit of HK$15.6 million and overall gross profit margin of 2.9% were recorded. After considering the acquisition cost from Previous Acquisition, subsequent development cost as well as provision for impairment loss, Yuhaiwan only recorded a minimal gross profit and profit margin. Reduction of rental income in current year also contributed to lower gross profit margin.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

A segment loss of HK$559.3 million was recorded. It was mainly attributable to (i) increased spending on advertisement, marketing facilities and promotion expenses for Yuhaiwan and Swan Bay Garden (天鵝灣) in Hainan and Xintian Banshan in Guangzhou; (ii) increased staff costs and resources deployed in the pre-sale projects; (iii) a loss of HK$32.8 million on disposal of all the commercial units of Dongmingxuan; and (iv) provision for impairment losses of HK$290.2 million and HK$152.6 million on the properties under development and for sale in Guangzhou and Haikou, respectively, due to high supply in Haikou and reduction of transaction volume in 1-tier cities in PRC under the ‘‘home-purchase restricted’’ environment. Provision was reference to assessment made by professional independent qualified valuer.

Business of electronic products, trading of commodities and equity investments

For the year ended 31 December 2010

Revenue and gross profit margin of HK$345.4 million and 17.5%, respectively, were recorded for the sales of electronic products. Segment profit of HK$10.2 million was achieved compared with a loss in previous year due to improvement in the global market condition.

For the year ended 31 December 2011

Revenue of HK$318.9 million and HK$5.7 million were recorded for the sales of electronic products and trading of precious metal, respectively. Gross profit margin of 17.2% was recorded for the sales of electronic products. Whereas segment profit reduced to HK$2.7 million. The operating environment remains challenging. The Remaining Group tackled the reduction in sales volume by selling products with higher prices and better margin.

For the year ended 31 December 2012

Revenue was reduced to HK$298.8 million. It was primarily due to the reduction of sales made in North America and Europe where economy was stagnant. Although the sales was reduced, we sold products with better margin and transferred part of the increased manufacturing cost in PRC to customers. As a result, gross profit margin of our manufacturing business improved to 20.5% and segment profit increased slightly to HK$3.4 million.

Liquidity and financial resources and capital structure

The total amount of bank balances and cash and restricted bank deposits of the Remaining Group were approximately HK$764.6 million, HK$250.3 million and HK$145.9 million as at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. The bank balances and cash were denominated in HK$, RMB and United States dollars.

As at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012, the Remaining Group has outstanding convertible notes (the ‘‘CN’’) with a principal amount of HK$3,100 million, HK$2,916.5 million and HK$2,776.3 million, respectively. The CN is unsecured, transferrable and

– 16 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

interest-free and entitled its holders to convert the CN into ordinary shares of the Company at a conversion price of HK$0.33 per share before its expiry date at 10 December 2015. The fair value of the liability component of the CN is determined based on the valuation performed by and independent professional valuer at the Acquisition Completion Date and the effective interest rate is determined to be 6.42%. The liability component is then carried as a long term liability on the amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or redemption. The derivative component of the CN is subsequently measured at fair value with changes recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. As at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012, the carrying amount of the CN were HK$1,981.6 million, HK$2,026.0 million and HK$2,141.2 million, respectively.

The borrowings of the Remaining Group, comprised secured bank borrowings, unsecured other borrowings and obligation under finance lease, amounted to approximately HK$910.3 million, HK$1,075.7 million and HK$967.4 million as at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Most of the borrowings were denominated in RMB and the bank borrowings were secured by investment properties, properties under development and properties held for sale of the Remaining Group. The bank borrowings carried interest at the prevailing market interest rate, with effective interest rate ranged approximately 5.64% to 6.24%, 6.34% to 7.63% and 7.4% to 7.68% for the year ended 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Whereas the other borrowings of the Group carried effective interest rate of approximately 5.85%, 6.56% and 6% for the year ended 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively.

As at 31 December 2010 and 2011, the gearing ratio of the Remaining Group, expressed as a percentage of total borrowings over net assets was 94% and 261%. The significant increase in gearing ratio was primary results of provision for impairment loss and unfavorable fair value changes of properties portfolio of the Company. On the basis that the Company receives the Net Consideration from the Proposed Disposal, the gearing ratio of the Remaining Group as at 31 December 2012 was decreased to 117%.

The issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 were HK$9.0 million, HK$11.2 million and HK$12.9 million, respectively, divided into 2,247.7 million, 2,803.7 million and 3,228.7 million ordinary shares of HK$0.004 each.

As at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012, the principle amount of CN can be convertible to 9,393.9 million, 8,837.9 million and 8,412.9 million ordinary shares of the Company, respectively, at a conversion price of HK$0.33 per share. During the year ended 31 December 2011 and 2012, 556 million and 425 million ordinary shares were issued, respectively, upon exercise of conversion rights by the CN holders.

All the Remaining Group’s funding and treasury activities are basically managed and controlled by the executive directors and senior management.

On 16 May 2013, Xintian Property Group Co., Ltd., an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Sales and Purchase Agreement for the disposal of 100% equity interest in Guangzhou Junyu Hotel Investment Limited (the ‘‘Disposal’’).

REPORT ON REVIEW OF UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF TALENT PROPERTY GROUP LIMITED

INTRODUCTION

We have reviewed the unaudited financial information of Guangzhou Junyu Hotel Investment Limited set out on pages 21 to 27 which comprises the unaudited statements of financial position as of 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 and the related unaudited statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows for the period from 9 April 2010 (date of incorporation) to 31 December 2010 and each of two years ended 31 December 2012 and certain explanatory notes (altogether the ‘‘Unaudited Financial Information’’). The directors of Talent Property Group Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Unaudited Financial Information in accordance with Rule 14.68(2)(a)(i) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the basis of preparation set out in note 2 to the Unaudited Financial Information. The Unaudited Financial Information is prepared solely for the purpose of inclusion in the circular to be issued by the Company in connection with the Disposal as defined in note 1 to the Unaudited Financial Information. The Unaudited Financial Information does not contain sufficient information to constitute a complete set of financial statements as defined in Hong Kong Accounting Standard 1 ‘‘Presentation of Financial Statements’’ nor a set of condensed financial statements as defined in Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 ‘‘Interim Financial Reporting’’ issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the ‘‘HKICPA’’). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Unaudited Financial Information based on our review, and to report our conclusion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

SCOPE OF REVIEW

We conducted our review in accordance with the Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2400 ‘‘Engagement to Review Financial Statements’’ issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the Unaudited Financial Information is free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of Guangzhou Junyu Hotel Investment Limited’s personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

The unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared as if the Disposal has been completed on 31 December 2012 for the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position and on 1 January 2012 for the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income and unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of cash flows.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Remaining Group is prepared based on the audited consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2012 extracted from the published annual report of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2012, adjusted as described below, as if the Disposal had taken place on 31 December 2012.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of cash flows of the Remaining Group are prepared based on the audited consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the audited consolidated statement of cash flows of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2012 extracted from the published annual report of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2012, adjusted as described below, as if the Disposal had taken place on 1 January 2012.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma financial information of the Remaining Group is prepared by the Directors and based on a number of assumptions, estimates, uncertainties and currently available information to provide information of the Remaining Group upon completion of the Disposal.

Furthermore, the accompanying unaudited pro forma financial information of the Remaining Group does not purport to predict the future financial position or results of operations of the Remaining Group after the completion of the Disposal.

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX IV

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 wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.’’

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 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.

VALUATION METHODOLOGY

In arriving at our valuation of the Property, which is a hotel held for investment by the Company, we have adopted the Direct Comparison Method by making with reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant market and assuming that the Property is capable of being sold in its existing state as a fully equipped and operating entity.

TITLE INVESTIGATION

We have been provided by the Company with copies of title documents and a legal opinion dated 24 June 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.

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.

Accordingly, the Property as at 31 December 2012 was subject to the mortgage loan in favour of ICBC only.
