LETTER FROM THE BOARD
THE PROPOSED DISPOSAL
The Board is pleased to announce that on 13 November 2020 (after the close of trading hours), the Seller (an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company), entered into the Equity Transfer Agreement with the Purchaser, pursuant to which the Purchaser has conditionally agreed to acquire and the Seller has conditionally agreed to sell 90% of the equity interests in the Target Company (held by the Seller) at an aggregate consideration of approximately RMB297.7 million.
Upon completion of the Proposed Disposal, the Purchaser will hold 100% of the entire equity interests in the Target Company, the Seller will cease to hold any equity interests in the Target Company and the Target Company will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company.
THE EQUITY TRANSFER AGREEMENT
A summary of the principal terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement is set out below:
Date: 13 November 2020
-
Parties to the Equity Transfer Agreement:
-
(1) Guangzhou Guoyou (as seller); and
-
(2) Yangzhou Yunhe (as purchaser)
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief and having made all reasonable enquiries, as at the Latest Practicable Date, each of the Purchaser and its ultimate beneficial owners is an Independent Third Party.
Subject matter:
Pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreement, the Seller has conditionally agreed to sell, and the Purchase has conditionally agreed to purchase, 90% equity interests in the Target Company held by the Seller.
The main asset of the Target Company is the Land Parcel.
- Consideration and payment:
The aggregate consideration for the Proposed Disposal is approximately RMB297.7 million, which was determined and agreed between the parties based on arm’s length negotiations with reference to, among other things, (i) the original land grant price for the Land Parcel, being RMB326.4 million; (ii) the unaudited net asset value of the Target Company as at 31 October 2020, being approximately RMB297.8 million; and (iii) the share capital contribution made by the Group to the Target Company in early 2019, being RMB270.0 million.
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
After taking into account the market value of the Land Parcel, the adjusted unaudited net asset value of the Target Company attributable to the Group as at 31 October 2020 would be approximately RMB307.7 million. The aggregate consideration for the Proposed Disposal, which is approximately RMB297.7 million, represents a discount of approximately 3.2% to such adjusted unaudited net asset value of the Target Company attributable to the Group. Taking into account the current logistics industry market situation in the PRC, and the demand for and investment sentiment regarding commercial properties in second and third-tier cities in the PRC, the Board considers that the consideration for the Proposed Disposal represents a fair return on the Group’s investment and more immediate return of cash to the Group.
In view of the above, the Board considers that the consideration for the Proposed Disposal is fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
The consideration shall be payable by the Purchaser to the Seller in cash in the following manner:
-
(i) RMB142 million shall be paid within seven business days from the effective date of the Equity Transfer Agreement (“ First Payment ”);
-
(ii) RMB100 million shall be paid on 31 January 2021 (“ Second Payment ”); and
-
(iii) the remaining consideration for the Proposed Disposal, being approximately RMB55.7 million, shall be paid on 30 June 2021 (“ Third Payment ”).
The Seller shall assist the Purchaser in applying for the registration and transfer of 43%, 30% and 17% equity interests in the Target Company respectively (representing approximately 48%, 33% and 19%, respectively, of the total equity interest in the Target Company held by the Seller) on a pro rata basis in accordance with the corresponding payments under the payment schedule with the relevant PRC Government authorities within 10 days of the Purchaser having made each of the First Payment, the Second Payment and the Third Payment, respectively.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Repayment of shareholder’s loan
The Target Company shall repay to the Seller the shareholder’s loan due and owed to the Seller as at the date of the Equity Transfer Agreement, being approximately RMB42.5 million, in one lump-sum within seven business days of the completion of the Proposed Disposal (i.e. the Seller having transferred 90% equity interest in the Target Company to the Purchaser).

INFORMATION ON THE TARGET COMPANY
The Target Company is an indirect non wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company established under the laws of the PRC on 20 December 2018. The Target Company is principally engaged in property development in the PRC. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Target Company is held as to 90% and 10% by the Seller and the Purchaser, respectively. For further details on the previous changes in the Seller’s equity interest in the Target Company, please refer to the Company’s voluntary announcements dated 19 March 2019 and 20 March 2019, respectively.
Set out below is the financial information of the Target Company:
| 31 December | 30 June | |
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 2020 | |
| RMB’000 | RMB’000 | |
| (audited) | (unaudited) | |
| Revenue | Nil | Nil |
| Net (loss) for the year/period before taxation | 776 | 708 |
| Net (loss) for the year/period after taxation | 776 | 708 |
FINANCIAL IMPACT OF THE PROPOSED DISPOSAL ON THE GROUP
Upon the Management Transfer Date, the Target Company will be held as to approximately 47% by the Seller, and will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company and the results of the Target Company will cease to be consolidated into the accounts of the Group Upon completion of the Proposed Disposal, the Company will no longer have any interests in the Target Company. The unaudited net asset value of the Target Company as at 31 October 2020 was approximately RMB297.8 million. The Company expects to record a book gain (before tax and expenses) of approximately RMB29.7 million, which is calculated by deducting the net asset value of the Target Company attributable to the Group (i.e. 90% of the net asset value of the Target Company, being approximately RMB268.0 million) from the consideration
– 10 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
(of approximately RMB297.7 million). The actual gain as a result of the Proposed Disposal to be recorded by the Company is subject to any changes to the net book value of the Target Company on the date of the completion of the Proposed Disposal.
The Company expects that the proceeds from the Proposed Disposal will be used primarily as follows: (i) approximately 40% (in the sum of approximately RMB120 million) towards repayment of certain bank and other loans which will fall due in 2021; (ii) approximately 34% (in the sum of approximately RMB100 million) towards the payment of construction costs for other projects; and (iii) approximately 26% in aggregate (in the aggregate sum of approximately RMB78 million) towards general working capital of the Company and/or to fund future investment opportunities, if any.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSED DISPOSAL
Since late 2016, the Group has set foot in the logistics property development industry in view of the potential growth of e-commence market and logistic facilities in the PRC. However, due to the subsequent slow-down of economic growth of PRC, Sino-US conflicts and the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, the demand for and investment sentiment regarding commercial properties, especially in second and third tier cities in the PRC were seriously affected. The sales performance of the Group’s Xuzhou Intelligent Industrial Town and Yangzhou Intelligent Life City did not meet the initial expectation of the Group’s management (especially with respect to Yangzhou).
The Land Parcel was acquired by the Target Company on 29 December 2018 through a successful bidding for land use rights through a listing-for-sale by the Yangzhou City Land Resources Bureau. The construction of zone C of the Land Parcel is underway and such zone is intended to be used primarily for the relocation and settling down of the original farmer’s markets in Yangzhou City. As at the Latest Practicable Date, development of zones A and B of the Land Parcel has not commenced and plans for the development of facilities related to the farmer’s market there on were under consideration.
Having taken into consideration (i) the current logistics industry market situation in the PRC, (ii) future capital requirements and pace of future cash return from this project, the Board considered that it is a good opportunity to sell the Target Company (and Land Parcel) in order to realize part of its investment portfolio for the return of the Company’s original investment and improve the Company’s working capital for, among others, (i) repayment of certain bank and other loans, (ii) payment of construction costs for other projects and (iii) development of new project(s) with higher growth potential, as and when such opportunity arises.
Based on the above and the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement, the Board is of the view that: (i) the Proposed Disposal is in the interest of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole; (ii) the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement are fair and reasonable; and (iii) the entering into of the Equity Transfer Agreement is in the interest of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS
With the outbreak of the COVID-19, intensified Sino-US friction and the strife in deglobalization, the business environment faces more challenges and uncertainties than ever before. As a result of the effective measures of the COVID-19 prevention in our country, economic recovery took place gradually in second quarter of the year with different magnitude across different regions and cities. Market performances diverged largely. The demand for and investment sentiment regarding commercial properties, especially in second and third tier cities in the PRC were seriously affected. The sales performance of the Group’s Xuzhou Intelligent Industrial Town and Yangzhou Intelligent Life City did not meet the initial expectation of the Group’s management (especially with respect to Yangzhou).
In the PRC’s post-pandemic era, the government still upheld that houses are for living in and not for speculative investment. While citizens’ living, consumption and culture keep changing which may have impacts on the development of different sectors. Nonetheless what remains unchanged is people’s pursuit for quality life. Xintian Banshan (新天半山), our flagship project in Guangzhou, which sets in a tranquil environment through ingenious combinations, the mountains and nature, is one of the best choices for them. Amid exploring new customers and closing of sales of villas in zone B, the work of façade, pathway and gardening for mega villas in zone E commenced.
Regarding our Yangzhou Intelligent Life City, construction of main structure of the buildings in zone A resumed after the pandemic. Development of zone B is still in planning stage and hinge on pre-sale progress of zone A. With respect to Xuzhou Intelligent Industrial Town, structural work of buildings in zone D to G are almost completed. Construction and formulation of marketing plan for its zone B and C, with street footage, are both under way. In general, local market sentiment and development of where our logistic projects locate are not as robust as the time when we acquired the relevant land parcels. The Group may adjust the way it cooperates and will consider different pricing flexibility to balance profitability and cashflow of these projects.
The Group will broaden financing channels, rationalize allocation of our resources and continue to explore opportunities to better support future growth in order to bring stable and long-term returns to the Shareholders and investors of the Group.
6. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE GROUP
Following the Proposed Disposal, the Remaining Group will continue to carry out its existing businesses. The Target Company to be disposed of was incorporated on 20 December 2018. Its financial results are set out in Appendix II to this circular. Set out below is the management discussion and analysis on the Remaining Group for the three financial years ended 31 December 2017, 2018 and 2019 and the six months ended 30 June 2020.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
Overview of Financial Results
2017 was a remarkable financial year of the Company. The consolidated revenue and gross profit for 2017 amounted to approximately RMB727.0 million and RMB182.3 million, respectively. Increased revenue and gross profit were primarily contributed by the continual sales & delivery of high-rise residential units and villas in zone C of our flagship project, Xintian Banshan. Impairment loss provided thereto in previous years was reversed partly in view of its latest sales record and market condition in 2017. In 2017, there were no more charges of non-cash finance costs and fair value changes relating to the convertible notes after its full conversion in 2016. The Group achieved a profit before tax of RMB188.4 million since the issue of convertible notes in 2010. Tax charge of RMB130.0 million was recorded primarily for the sales of Xintian Banshan and disposal of commercial units of Tianlun Garden. A post-tax profit attributable to the owners of the Company of RMB63.7 million was recorded.
2018 was a financial year in which the Group built the foundation for a brighter future. The consolidated revenue and gross profit for 2018 amounted to approximately RMB278.7 million and RMB82.1 million, respectively. Decrease in revenue in 2018 was primarily due to the fact that high-rise residential units in our flagship project Xintian Banshan, which have the highest volume of stock, have been almost sold out and fully delivered after continual sales in recent years. Though luxury villas at zone B are available for subscription, they will not enter the delivery phase until next year. Impairment loss of Xintian Banshan provided in previous years was again reversed partly in view of its latest sales record and market condition in 2018, while the fair value of our investment property Talent Shoes Trading Center was reduced in light of its latest leasing condition. The Group also ramped up investment in its logistics projects in 2018. A post-tax profit attributable to the owners of the Company of RMB69.6 million was recorded.
The consolidated revenue and gross profit for 2019 amounted to approximately RMB277.7 million and RMB115.5 million, respectively. The revenue for the year includes the revenue recognized from luxurious villas at zone B of our flagship project Xintian Banshan, resulting in an increase in the gross profit margin. Without taking into account fair value changes on investment properties and provision for impairment of properties under development, profit before tax amounted to RMB52.8 million. With reference to the results of independent valuation, the Group recorded a reduction of fair value of our Talent Shoes Trading Center and other investment properties totalling RMB62.6 million. After prudently reviewing factors such as the current pre-sale results, the sales strategies after the control of the novel coronavirus epidemic, the development progress and its costs, the Group made a provision for impairment loss totalling RMB168.0 million for logistics commercial projects under development (other than the project held by the Target Company). Reversal of previously provided impairment loss of approximately RMB2.3 million was made for Xintian Banshan project. After taking into account the above factors and the income tax expenses, a post-tax loss attributable to the owners of the Company of RMB99.4 million was recorded.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
During the six months ended 30 June 2020 (the “ Interim Reporting Period ”), the Group recorded an unaudited consolidated revenue and gross profit of RMB114.0 million and RMB65.1 million, respectively. A revenue of RMB102.2 million was recorded from the delivery of residential units of Xintian Banshan (新天半山) with gross floor area of approximately 500 square meters (“sqm”) and sales of villas of our South Lake Village Phase 1 with gross floor area of approximately 2,200 sqm. Revenue from selling of other properties held for sales (including carparks) during the Interim Reporting Period was RMB0.6 million. Rental income and properties management fee income from our Talent Shoes Trading Center (天倫鞋業交易中心), a 10-storey complex building located at Zhan Xi Shoe Market, reduced to RMB7.7 million as a result of higher vacancy and short-term rental concession granted to the tenants. After taking into account the costs from the acquisition of Talent Central Limited from Talent Trend Holdings Limited, subsequent development cost, the net provision for impairment loss as well as better profit margin of Xintian Banshan as well as villas of our South Lake Village Phase I, gross profit and overall gross profit margin increased to RMB65.1 million and 57.1%, respectively. Given the provision for impairment loss, unfavourable fair value changes of our properties portfolio, share of loss of an associate and increased finance costs, a loss attributable to owners of the Company of RMB97.4 million was recorded for the Interim Reporting Period.

The Financial Information has been prepared solely for the purpose of inclusion in the circular to be issued by Talent Property Group Limited (the “Company”) dated 11 December 2020 in connection with the disposal of the 90% equity interests in Yangzhou Shiyou City Development Co., Ltd. in accordance with the Rule 14.68(2)(a)(i) of The Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“the Listing Rules).

Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” and with reference to Practice Note 750 “Review of Financial Information under the Hong Kong Listing Rules for a Very Substantial Disposal” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of Financial Information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Financial Information of Yangzhou Shiyou City Development Co., Ltd. for the Relevant Periods is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in Note 2 to the Financial Information.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Remaining Group as at 30 June 2020 is prepared based on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2020 as extracted from the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2020 as if the Disposal had been completed on 30 June 2020.

Furthermore, the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Remaining Group does not purport to predict the Remaining Group’s future financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
