LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Earnings

As illustrated in the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Remaining Group set out in Appendix III to this circular, it is expected the Group will record a gain of RMB3.3 million before tax and expense from the disposal of the Combined Property, which is calculated with reference to the gross consideration less the net book value of the Combined Property as at 30 June 2014 and will record a loss of RMB14.4 million after tax and estimated transaction costs. Loss of RMB16.4 million after tax and estimated transaction costs is recorded if the Proposed Disposal had been completed on 1 January 2013 as set out in note 6 of Appendix III to this circular, the difference was the valuation loss on the Combined Property during the year 2013.

Assets and Liabilities

Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Remaining Group as if the disposal of the Combined Property had been completed on 30 June 2014 as set out in Appendix III to this circular, the effects on assets and liabilities of the Remaining Group are set out below:

The Group
(immediately
before the disposal
of the Combined The Remaining
Property) Group
Approximately Approximately
RMB’000 RMB’000 Change
As at 30 June 2014
Unaudited total assets 5,577,793 5,517,633 –1.1%
Unaudited total liabilities 5,515,816 5,462,224 –1.0%
Unaudited net assets 61,977 55,409 –10.6%

The gearing ratio of the Group and the Remaining Group expressed as percentage of total debts over total assets were approximately 98.9% and 99.0%. Accordingly, the Group’s gearing ratio will slightly increase upon completion of the Proposed Disposal.

The proceeds from the disposal are expected to be used as general working capital of the Company or to fund future investment opportunities generally. Upon completion of the disposal of the Property, the Group will no longer hold any commercial units of Tianlun Garden (天倫花園).

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

One of the Group’s principal businesses is property development and investment in the PRC, the disposal is therefore in its ordinary course of business. The Property is the 1st to 4th floors of the commercial podium of Tianlun Garden (天倫花園) developed by the Vendor and is classified as property held for investment of the Group. Over the past two years, the vacancy rate of the commercial units of Tianlun Garden has been increasing. After the expiration of

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

previous leases, it has been difficult to enter into long-term leases for those large vacant units, particularly on the 3rd and 4th floors of the Property. The Board considered it is a good opportunity to sell the Property at a book gain (before tax and transaction cost), realise part of its investment portfolio and improve the Company’s cash position and working capital for developing new property project with growth potential, as and when such opportunity arises.

Therefore, the Board is of the view that the terms of the Agreement are fair and reasonable and the entering into of the Agreement is in the interest of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Since the applicable percentage ratio under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules is more than 75%, the entering into the Agreement constitutes a very substantial disposal for the Company and is subject to the approval by the Shareholders by way of poll at the SGM. As no Shareholders has material interest in the Agreement, no Shareholders is required to abstain from voting.

THE SGM

A notice convening the SGM to be held on 15 December 2014 is set out on pages 51 to 52 of this circular.

RECOMMENDATION

The Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) considers that the Proposed Disposal is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders. Accordingly, the Board recommends the Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Your attention is also drawn to the information contained in Appendix I to Appendix V to this circular.

Yours faithfully, for and on behalf of the Board Ng Pui Keung Chairman

unissued, term loans, other borrowings or indebtedness including bank overdrafts, liabilities under acceptances, acceptance credits, debentures, mortgages, charges, finance lease or hire purchase commitments, guarantees or other material contingent liabilities outstanding at the close of business on 30 September 2014.

3. WORKING CAPITAL

The Directors, after due and careful consideration, are of the opinion that after taking into account the present internal resources, available bank and other loans of the Group, the Group has sufficient working capital for its present requirements, that is for at least the next 12 months from the date of this circular, in the absence of any unforeseeable circumstances.

The convertible bond with principal amount of approximately HK$2,331.3 million is due on 10 December 2015 and the Company will at appropriate time negotiate with the bondholders to seek their intention as to conversion, or extension, if possible, upon maturity and to explore other refinancing arrangement.

4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS

After completion of the Proposed Disposal, the Group will be principally engaged in developing two residential projects, namely Xintian Banshan (South Lake Village Phase II) and Linhe Cun Rebuilding project (a joint venture with Sun Hung Kai Properties Group) in Guangzhou, and a commercial redevelopment project located at No. 18 Zhan Xi Road of Liwan District in Guangzhou (the ‘‘Shoe Market’’). The PRC Government had adopted certain tightening policies in the property sector in order to stabilize the properties prices, in particular on the residential property market for the past few years. Recently, some of those tightening policies have been uplifted in some cities but property developers in China are still facing the difficulties in obtaining bank financing when sales are stagnant. In view of this environment, the Group will take a conservative approach in residential property sector and put efforts to continue the construction, sales and delivery of South Lake Village Phase II. The project of Shoe Market will turn into a 10-storey commercial complex building and becomes the key project of the Group. As the renovation works are expected to be completed by the end of 2014, the Group had recently commenced marketing activities to attract quality tenants with the objective to generate long-term rental income. In addition, upon completion of the Proposed Disposal, the Group will have sufficient liquidity and strengthened capacity to face the challenging environment and identify favorable business opportunities with strong growth potential.

5. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE GROUP (On the basis that the disposal of the Combined Property has all been completed)

The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. On 10 December 2010, the Company 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 year ended 31 December 2013, the Group undergone certain reorganisation of its businesses and projects (including disposal of subsidiaries engaging residential projects in Hainan Province, disposal of a subsidiary engaging in hotel operation, disposal of subsidiaries engaging businesses of electronic products operation, trading of commodities and listed equity

APPENDIX I

and provision of loan financing and acquisition of subsidiaries holding a commercial property, in Guangzhou, to be redeveloped into a 10-storey complex building for rental purpose) with an objective to streamline its operation into more property focus in first-tier cities in PRC.

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

For the Period Ended 30 June 2014

Revenue and Gross (Loss)/Profit

During the six months ended 30 June 2014 (the ‘‘Reporting Period’’), the Group recorded an unaudited consolidated revenue and gross loss from its continuing operations of RMB11.4 million and RMB1.1 million, respectively, as compared to revenue of RMB220.9 million and gross profit of RMB28.1 million for the six months ended 30 June 2013 (the ‘‘Preceding Period’’). Revenue and gross profit of the Combined Property amounted to RMB3.0 million (Preceding Period: RMB4.4 million) and RMB2.4 million (Preceding Period: RMB3.7 million) respectively. Therefore, revenue and gross loss of the Remaining Group amounted to RMB8.4 million and RMB3.5 million respectively.

Revenue for the Reporting Period reduced significantly. In the Preceding Period, revenue of RMB130.0 million was attributable to the delivery of residential units and car parking spaces of Yuhaiwan (譽海灣) in Haikou. The project companies of Yuhaiwan were disposed in 2013. As a result of various tightening measures against residential property market by central government, the residential market in Guangzhou was sluggish. Revenue from the sales of villas of South Lake Village Phase 1 (南湖山莊第一期) reduced to RMB3.5 million (Preceding Period: RMB53.1 million).

Rental income generated from investment properties and car parking spaces of the Remaining Group increased to RMB1.1 million in the Reporting Period (Preceding Period: RMB0.8 million).

Regarding the property management business of the Remaining Group, revenue of RMB0.9 million was recorded in the Reporting Period as compared to RMB9.3 million in the Preceding Period. In the Preceding Period, substantial portion of income was generated from sub-letting a leased property. This leased property was a 2-storey commercial building located at No. 18 Zhan Xi Road of Liwan District in Guangzhou. Subsequent to its acquisition by the Remaining Group in November 2013, most of the sub-letting business had been suspended temporarily for the commencement of redevelopment of the entire building into a 10-storey complex building. As such, subletting income therefrom was reduced substantially.

As a result of the substantial reduction of revenue, a gross loss of RMB3.5 million was recorded from property development, investment and management in the Reporting Period as compared to a gross profit of RMB24.4 million in the Preceding Period.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Distribution Costs

During the Reporting Period, distribution cost of RMB5.9 million was recorded. Substantial portion of which was attributable to marketing activities of Xintian Banshan (新天半山) in Guangzhou. In the Preceding Period, distribution cost of RMB18.2 million was mainly attributable to Xintian Banshan and the two disposed residential projects in Hainan.

Administrative and Other Operating Expenses

Upon disposal of Hainan projects and tighter control on administrative expenses, recurring administrative expenses such as staff costs, legal & professional fee, office and business development expenses had been reduced. However, administrative and other operating expenses increased from RMB37.3 million in the Preceding Period to RMB73.5 million in the Reporting Period. Such increase was attributable to a one-time charge related to Linhe Cun Rebuilding project (林和村重建項目) in Guangzhou. Details of the project was described in the paragraphs with the heading ‘‘Share of loss of an associate’’ below.

According the terms of the project, if the delivery of the newly constructed resettlement buildings is later than April 2014 (‘‘Delayed Resettlement’’), the Remaining Group has to pay an extra relocation fee (the ‘‘Compensation’’) on a monthly basis to the original occupiers of the Linhe Cun.

The progress of the construction of resettlement buildings was hindered primarily by more rainy days during the construction period, site stoppage during Asian Game and checkup required by Guangzhou metro underneath the site. Finally, the Remaining Group finished the delivery of residential suites of the newly constructed resettlement buildings to the original occupiers of Linhe Cun in August 2014. Compensation totaling RMB49.9 million had been paid in relation to the Delayed Resettlement.

Gain on Disposal of Subsidiaries

The amount as recorded in the Preceding Period represents the one-off gain on disposal of Hainan White Horse Swan Bay Garden Properties Limited.

Impairment Loss and Fair Value Changes on Properties Portfolio

Regarding our investment properties, a revaluation surplus of RMB3.3 million (Preceding Period: deficit of RMB3.5 million) was recorded. It was attributable to the redeveloping investment property at No. 18 Zhan Xi Road. During the Reporting Period, results from various marketing effort carried out by the Remaining Group in order to boost the sales of the high-rise residential units of Xintian Banshan (新天半山) were not prominent. Contracted sales of approximately RMB57 million for gross floor area of approximately 1,900 square meters was recorded during the Reporting Period, whereas, contracted sales of approximately RMB231 million for gross floor area of approximately 7,700 square meters was recorded in 2013 since the commencement of pre-sale. Most of these pre-sold units are contracted to be delivered in the last two months of the current

year. The construction of high-rise residential buildings was completed. Whereas the internal decoration for the high-rise buildings and the foundation work of the grand-sized luxurious villas are on-going. After consideration of market conditions, paces of pre-sale, further development costs to be incurred as well as latest revaluation, an impairment loss of properties under development of RMB44.5 million (Preceding Period: Nil) has been provided.

The above revaluation was conducted by an independent qualified professional valuer.

Fair Value Changes on Derivative Financial Instruments

According to applicable accounting standards, the fair value of the derivative component of the convertible notes issued by the Company for Previous Acquisition has to be re-measured. The Company’s right to redeem the convertible notes before its maturity date represents this derivative component. Its fair value will vary with its unexpired period to maturity, outstanding face value as well as the Company’s share price and its volatility. A fair value deficit of RMB5.8 million (Preceding Period: RMB26.5 million) was recorded in the Reporting Period after re-assessment conducted by an independent qualified professional valuer.

Share of Loss of an Associate

The Linhe Cun Rebuilding project is an old village redevelopment project located in the CBD of Tianhe District in Guangzhou and adjacent to the Guangzhou East Railway station. The project involves compensation and relocation of original occupiers of the village, demolition of existing village buildings, construction of new buildings for the resettlement of existing occupiers and construction of new high-end residential (namely ‘‘Forest Hills (峻林)’’) and commercial buildings for sale. The project is carried out by an associate which is owned as to 30% and 70% by the Remaining Group and Sun Hung Kai Properties Group, respectively.

Two phases of pre-sale had already been launched and an encouraging result was achieved. An average selling price well above RMB40,000 per square meter was recorded. The delivery of first phase pre-sold residential units is scheduled in third quarter of the year. The Remaining Group’s share of loss of the associate company during the Reporting Period was RMB2.0 million (Preceding Period: RMB6.8 million).

Finance Cost

During the Reporting Period, imputed finance cost totaling RMB53.6 million (Preceding Period: RMB59.1 million) arising from the convertible notes issued for the Previous Acquisition was recorded. On repayment of more bank borrowing by spare cash, finance costs arising from bank and other borrowings (before capitalisation) reduced to RMB26.6 million (Preceding Period: RMB43.2 million).

APPENDIX I

Gain for the Period from Discontinued Operations

According to applicable accounting standard, results arising from hotel operation, electronic products operation, trading of commodities and listed equity and provision of loan financing were classified and presented as a separate item in the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

The Remaining Group completed the disposal of its businesses of electronic products, equity and commodities investments in May 2013. A gain from discontinued operations of HK$54.9 million was recorded in interim results of the Preceding Period. Upon change of presentation currency of the Company, the historical exchange differences arising from these operations had to be reclassified. As such, the gain from such discontinued operations in the Preceding Period as presented in RMB was RMB4.6 million. 100% equity interest of Guangzhou Junyu Hotel Investment Limited is agreed to be disposed for an initial cash consideration of approximately RMB1,015.2 million and the final net consideration is to be determined according to relevant terms as stipulated in the sales and purchase agreement. Detail of the disposal was stated in the circular to the shareholders of the Company dated 26 June 2013. At the end of the Reporting Period, full amount of the initial cash consideration had been received by the Remaining Group, however, the balance of final net consideration amounting RMB91.5 million remains outstanding. As such, the disposal is not yet completed. The Remaining Group is in the process of demanding and liaising with the Purchaser for the payment of the outstanding net consideration. It is the target of the Group to complete the disposal before the end of 2014.

In respect of the hotel operation, the management company and the Remaining Group had strived for improved results in the Reporting Period despite of intensified market competition and reinforced fight against corruption and extravagant spending by PRC government. Gross revenue totaling RMB87.0 million (Preceding Period: RMB81.5 million) from room rentals, food and beverage (‘‘F&B’’) and other ancillary services was achieved. The average occupancy rate improved from 63% in Preceding Period to 71% in the Reporting Period with the average room rate reduced slightly to RMB795 per room night (Preceding Period: RMB810 per room night). Gross revenue arising from rooms and F&B increased by approximately 10% and 4%, respectively. A gross profit of RMB24.2 million (Preceding Period: RMB19.1 million) was recorded in the Reporting Period. A gain from discontinued operation of RMB5.4 million was recorded (Preceding Period: loss of RMB2.6 million) after charges of depreciation, amortisation, finance cost and taxation.

Income Tax (Credit)/Expense

An income tax credit of RMB10.9 million was recorded in the Reporting Period as compared to a tax charge of RMB5.5 million in the Preceding Period.

Impairment Loss and Fair Value Changes on Properties Portfolio

During the year, the PRC government imposed a series of austerity measures to curb soaring housing prices, including higher down payment requirements, raising mortgage interest rates, direct restrictions on home purchases, the establishment of price control targets, third-home purchase bans and a trial real estate tax in certain biggest cities in the state. In addition, the raising of RMB Required Reserve Ratio (‘‘RMB RRR’’) for deposit taking to historical high, the fear of global economic double dip recession and the spread of Europe’s financial crisis casted further shadow on the property market in China. Investment demand, inelastic demand and market sentiment had been seriously undermined. House prices in some cities had started to cool and nationwide sales volume was contracted obviously.

The government’s plan to make Hainan province an international tourism destination and a two-year lending binge commenced in 2008, had driven huge capital into the property sector and helped making the island posted the biggest property price hike in the country in 2010. As a result of the persisted nationwide austerity measures in 2011, the market returned to normal and a marked correction took place. A provision of HK$414.7 million has been made against the properties under development in Hainan Haikou.

Guangzhou City, being one of the first-tier cities subject to onerous property control measures, seen slight adjustments in house prices but substantial reduction on transaction number of properties sales. Upon conservative consideration and by reference to assessment made by professional independent qualified valuer, provision of HK$185.0 million and HK$59.7 million have been made against our completed properties held for sales and investment properties, respectively.

Many 5-star luxury hotels were opened in Guangzhou City during the year and few more will be opened in 2012 and onwards. To cater for such keen competition, we completed the interior renovation and amenities with higher standard than its original plan. Under such competitive environment and cautious sentiment in commercial property market, a provision of HK$269.8 million has been made against the building, plant and equipment of the Hotel after valuation conducted by professional independent qualified valuer.

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 held for investment. In valuing the Property, we have adopted the Investment Method by taking into account the current rents passing and the reversionary income potential of the tenancies.

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 24 November 2014 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.
