LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (iii) Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business: Net profits (before tax): RMB10,022,000 Net profits (after tax): RMB8,434,000

According to the Valuation Reports, the Intelligent Rail Transit Business, the Intelligent Building Business and the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business were valued at RMB197,000,000, RMB173,000,000, and RMB158,000,000 respectively as at 31 March 2015. THTF established and grew the Target Businesses, and did not acquire from a third party. Thus, there is no original acquisition cost of the Target Businesses and Target Assets.

With respect to the employee arrangements for the transfer of the Target Businesses, pursuant to the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements, THTF and the Purchaser will arrange for current employees of the Target Businesses to enter into employment contracts with the Purchaser to ensure that the current employees responsible for the operation of the Target Businesses will continue to operate the Target Businesses after completion of the Acquisition.

FUTURE BUSINESS ARRANGEMENTS

Overview

In order to facilitate the successful transfer of the Target Businesses pursuant to the Acquisition and the future development of the Target Businesses, pursuant to the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements,

  • (i) THTF and the Purchaser will cooperate to implement the transfer of the Acquired Projects from THTF to the Purchaser by way of assignment, sub-contracting and/or delegation. Since the Completion Date, the Purchaser will be responsible for performing the work required by the Acquired Projects and entitled to the income from the Acquired Projects. To the extent that the legal rights of THTF under the contracts in respect of any Acquired Projects have not been assigned to the Purchaser, or for any other reasons THTF receives any payment from the customers of any Acquired Projects for any income generated after the Completion Date, THTF is required to pay such amount to the Purchaser no later than the balance sheet date of the month in which such amount is received without any additional compensation;

  • (ii) THTF should use its reasonable endeavors to notify all of the debtors of loans which are part of the Target Assets of the assignment of such debt to the Purchaser. In the event that the relevant debtors settle such debt by paying THTF, THTF is required to pay such amount to the Purchaser no later than the balance sheet date of the month in which such amount is received without any additional compensation;

  • (iii) THTF should use its reasonable endeavors to facilitate the assumption of debt which are part of the liabilities of the Target Businesses by the Purchaser, primarily comprising trade payables to third party suppliers. In the event that THTF is required to settle such debt with the relevant third party creditors, the Purchaser is required to reimburse THTF for such amount no later than the balance sheet date of the month in which such amount is paid by THTF;

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (iv) THTF undertakes to assist the Purchaser to take up the Acquired Projects without any additional compensation, including but not limited to providing any necessary information to the Purchaser and handling the relevant project completion and settlement procedures as necessary; and

  • (v) THTF will support the Purchaser on the continual development and expansion of the Target Businesses, including cooperating with the Purchaser to develop new projects and business opportunities in respect of the Target Businesses, being a party to the relevant agreements to facilitate the Purchaser’s conducting of the Target Businesses if necessary, and providing the required information and assistance to complete the relevant projects, in manners similar to the support to be provided by THTF in respect of the Acquired Projects as set out in paragraphs (i) to (iv) above.

By virtue of the arrangements as set out above (the “Future Business Arrangements”), after completion of the Acquisition, to the extent that any existing sales or project contract of the Target Businesses are not capable to be assigned to Technovator Beijing or Tongfang Energy Saving (as applicable), THTF will continue to act as the party to such agreements, and will transfer any payments it receives from the relevant customers of the Target Businesses to Technovator Beijing and Tongfang Energy Saving, respectively, without any additional charges.

Likewise, under such arrangements, if after completion of the Acquisition circumstances arise such that it is necessary or desirable for THTF to be a contracting party to new sales or project contracts of the Target Businesses, THTF may cooperate with Technovator Beijing or Tongfang Energy Saving (as applicable) in the performance of such contracts for the relevant customers, and transfer any payments it receives from the relevant customers of the Target Businesses to Technovator Beijing and Tongfang Energy Saving, respectively, without any additional charges.

On the other hand, after completion of the Acquisition, to the extent that it is necessary for THTF to act as the party to supply contracts to procure materials or services from third party suppliers for any projects undertaken by the Target Businesses, THTF will procure the necessary materials and services from the relevant third party suppliers for the Purchaser upon instruction by the Purchaser, and the Purchaser is required to reimburse THTF for the amount paid by THTF.

To the extent that there is any new sales, supply or project contract to which THTF will act as the party, all terms of such contracts will still be negotiated by the Purchaser; any payment made or received by THTF shall be based on the results of such negotiation and, if incorporated in the contracts, the terms as determined by the Purchaser, and that the pricing and payment terms as set out in the section headed “Pricing and Payment Terms” shall also apply to and be observed by THTF accordingly.

Pursuant to the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements, if any party incurs any damages, liabilities and/or any costs to the other party due to its breach of any of the representation or warranty, or failure of performing any of its obligations under this

– 18 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Agreement, including those set out in paragraphs (i) to (iv) above, the defaulting party shall be responsible to fully compensate the other party. Accordingly, the risks and legal obligations of THTF and the Purchaser arising from the Acquisition shall be undertaken in accordance with the above terms.

In particular, to the extent that the legal rights of THTF under the Business and Assets Purchase Agreement in respect of any Acquired Projects have been assigned to the Purchaser upon completion of the Acquisition, the Purchaser shall assume all the rights and obligations in respect of the Acquired Projects and be responsible for any claim, controversy or dispute arising out of the disputed project. To the extent that the legal rights of THTF under the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements in respect of any Acquired Projects have not been assigned to the Purchaser upon completion of the Acquisition, THTF shall assume the liabilities for any claim, controversy or dispute arising out of the disputed project to the third party. To comply with its own obligations under the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements, THTF will still be required to pay all income received from customers of any Acquired Projects to the Purchaser even if the Purchaser breaches their undertaking under the relevant Business and Assets Purchase Agreements to perform the work as required by the Acquired Projects as mentioned above. Nonetheless THTF might have legal recourse against the Purchaser in such circumstances.

Other than the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements, the Purchaser and THTF have not entered into any other agreements with respect to the Future Business Arrangements as set out above.

Internal Control Procedures

Pursuant to the Future Business Arrangements, THTF will only enter into contracts for the Target Businesses upon request and instructions of the Purchaser. Nevertheless, to safeguard the entering into of the new sales or supply contracts to which THTF will act as the party, the Purchaser will only recognize contracts (including any amendments of such contracts) the forms of which have been approved by the Purchaser in writing as subject to the Future Business Arrangements, and will manage all such contracts, including keeping original copies of such contracts and all amendments to such contracts, during the course of their terms.

As after completion of the Acquisition, all current employees of the Target Businesses, whose employment will be transferred to the Purchaser, will continue to be responsible for the operation of the Target Businesses, the relevant personnel at the Target Businesses currently responsible for managing sales and supply contracts at the Target Businesses according to their respective functions, including sales, project management, procurement, operation and finance, will continue to be responsible for managing these contracts, under the overall supervision of the general manager of the respective Target Businesses and the senior management of the Purchaser.

Specifically, the sales department will continue to be primarily responsible for determining the terms of bids on projects and negotiating the terms of sales contracts, and the procurement department will continue to be responsible for preparing or negotiating

– 19 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

supply contracts, both of which will be subject to review by the Target Businesses’ other business functions, including the finance department and operation departments. After the form of the draft contracts and the proposed terms are determined, having taken into account the input from the relevant departments at the Target Businesses and the result of negotiation with the third party customers or suppliers, such contracts will require the approval of the general manager of the respective Target Businesses before the Target Businesses request and instruct THTF to enter into such contracts.

The Annual Caps

The estimated aggregate amount of payments to be transferred by THTF to the Group and the estimated aggregate amount of payments to be transferred by the Group to THTF pursuant to the Future Business Arrangements for each of the years ending 31 December 2015, 2016 and 2017 are as follows (the “ Annual Caps ”):

Payments to be transferred
by THTF to the Group
Payments to be transferred
by the Group to THTF
Year
2015
(RMB million)
338
238
ending 31 December
2016
2017
(RMB million)
(RMB million)
778
874
622
700

The Annual Caps only cover (i) any amount paid by THTF to the Purchaser arising from THTF’s obligations under the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements to pay such amount that THTF has received from third party customers in relation to projects undertaken by the Target Businesses; and (ii) any amount paid by the Purchaser to THTF arising from the Purchaser’s obligations under the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements to reimburse THTF for such amount that THTF has paid to third party creditors in relation to projects undertaken by the Target Businesses.

Under the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements, the Purchaser has the right, but not the obligation, to require THTF to facilitate the Target Businesses’ future business in the manners set out above. The Future Business Arrangements will enable the Purchaser to seamlessly take over the Acquired Projects upon completion of the Acquisition and allow the Target Businesses to continue to develop and grow without any interruption as a result of the change in their ownership. In addition, as the Purchaser is entering into the Target Businesses, it will take time for the Purchaser to establish their positions in the market under their own names, instead of THTF. As THTF has been operating for a significant period of time and has built its brand recognition among customers, with its assistance by way of the Future Business Arrangements, the Purchaser can avoid loss of potential business opportunities due to the Purchaser’s relatively new presence in the relevant markets. For example, for projects for which the Target Businesses have submitted bids under the name of THTF before the completion of the Acquisition, THTF will be required to be the contracting party in accordance with the rules of the relevant tenders. In addition, after completion of the Acquisition, THTF will no longer be

– 20 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

capable of carrying out the Target Businesses and fulfil customer’s requirements for those services. In case of any potential customer who would need time to obtain their own internal approval to deal with a new owner of the Target Businesses and therefore wishes to continue to deal with THTF in the meantime due to their history of dealings with THTF, the Company may capture such opportunity by leveraging on the Future Business Arrangements. Hence the Future Business Arrangements also cover new projects which may be undertaken by the Target Businesses in the future. The Directors consider the Future Business Arrangements an integral aspect of the Acquisition and one of the key factors taken into account by the Company for entering into the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements.

The Annual Caps are determined based on the following factors:

  • (i) sales data of the Target Businesses, including the contract price of the Acquired Projects, contracts in negotiation and bidding of projects participated by the Target Businesses, and estimated growth for each of the Target Businesses (as further detailed in paragraph (v) below);

  • (ii) historical pattern of payments of contract prices by the Target Businesses’ customers — Based on the historical pattern of payments of contract prices, for the purpose of determining the amount of fees to be received by the Purchaser from third party customers through THTF, a proportion of the aggregate value of the contracts is allocated to each year at a certain percentage, representing the estimated amount of payments to be received by the Purchaser in each year, taking into account the particular historical payment pattern for each of the Target Business and the actual settlement status of the Acquired Projects as at the Valuation Date. In addition, in assessing the Annual Caps for the year 2015, which represents the maximum transaction amount for the three months ending 31 December 2015, the Company has taken into account the seasonality of payments by customers, based on the historical pattern that during 2012 to 2014, approximately 33% to 54% of the total payments received for a given year were collected by the Target Businesses during the last quarter of that year;

  • (iii) historical cost of sales of the Target Businesses — The historical cost of sales of the Target Business as a percentage of revenue received each year is used to approximate the amount of payments that the Purchaser will pay to THTF to settle debts with third party creditors by reference to the amount of contract price it will receive for the given year. In addition, in assessing the Annual Caps for the year 2015, the Company has taken into account the seasonality of the purchases from third party suppliers, based on the historical pattern that during 2012 to 2014, approximately 30% to 52% of the total payments paid to third party creditors for a given year were paid by the Target Businesses during the last quarter of that year;

– 21 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (iv) trends of the gross profit margin of each of the Target Businesses — The historical gross profit margins of the Target Businesses are different and present different trends. For the purpose of determining the cost of sales of the Target Business as a percentage of revenue received each year (as mentioned in paragraph (iii) above), based on the historical gross profit margins of the Target Businesses and taking into account the prevailing trend of such gross profit margins, the gross profit margin for each of the Target Businesses for each of the three years ending 31 December 2017 is assumed to be a certain percentage between approximately 18% and 23%, depending on the particular Target Business and year concerned;

  • (v) expected growth of the Target Businesses — Based on the historical growth rates of the Target Businesses, taking into account industry trends and macro-economic factors, for the purpose of determining the Annual Caps, a separate percentage is assigned as the growth rate of the aggregate contract price of the projects undertaken by each of the Target Businesses for each of the three years ending 31 December 2017. Based on such parameters, the total contract price of the Target Businesses as a whole is assumed to increase at a rate of approximately 15% per year during the three years ending 31 December 2017, depending on the year concerned.

The Annual Caps are determined on the assumption that none of the existing sales or project contract of the Target Businesses are assigned to Technovator Beijing or Tongfang Energy Saving, as such assignment would require consents of the relevant customers.

Pricing and Payment Terms

As explained above, the transactions between the Purchaser and THTF under the Future Business Arrangements are part and parcel of the subject matter of the Acquisition, for which THTF will not be entitled to any additional fees or compensation.

Hence, THTF will not be entitled to any additional fees or compensation for transferring payments received from third party customers to the Purchaser under the Future Business Arrangements, and the full amount received by THTF from third party customers will be transferred to the relevant Purchaser, no later than the balance sheet date of the month in which such amount is received.

Similarly, THTF will not be entitled to any additional fees or compensation for settling debts with third party creditors under the Future Business Arrangements, and the Purchaser is required to reimburse THTF for the full amount of such payments no later than the balance sheet date of the month in which such amount is paid by THTF.

The prices for new sales contracts to which THTF will act as the party will be negotiated with third party customers based on the price range as indicated by the prices charged by the relevant Target Business in at least two projects within the past 12 months with scope of services undertaken and/or for products sold by the relevant Target

– 22 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Business which most closely resembles the requirements of the new sales contract concerned. The prices for the purchase of material and/or services to be procured under supply contracts subject to the Future Business Arrangements will be negotiated with third party suppliers based on the price range as indicated by the prices paid by the relevant Target Business in at least two purchases within the past 12 months for similar material and/or services.

As after completion of the Acquisition, all current employees of the Target Businesses, whose employment will be transferred to the Purchaser after completion of the Acquisition, will continue to be responsible for the operation of the Target Businesses, the personnel currently responsible for the negotiation and determination of the pricing and payment terms of sales and supply contracts at the Target Businesses according to their respective functions, such as sales, project management, procurement and finance, will continue to be responsible for the same functions in respect of contracts to be entered into by THTF which are subject to the Future Business Arrangements, under the overall supervision of the general manager of the respective Target Businesses and the senior management of the Purchaser. The sales and procurement departments of the Target Businesses will be primarily responsible for setting or negotiating the pricing and payment terms of sales and supply contracts, with input from other relevant departments at the Target Businesses, such as their respective finance and operation departments. The approval of the general manager of the respective Target Businesses will be required before the Target Businesses request and instruct THTF to enter into such contracts. Please refer to the sub-section headed “Future Business Arrangements — Overview” above for further details.

Continuing Connected Transactions

THTF, which directly and indirectly owns a total of 268,148,142 Shares, representing approximately 34.64% and approximately 34.48% of the entire issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements and the Latest Practicable Date, respectively, is a Controlling Shareholder of the Company. Under Rule 14A.07(1) of the Listing Rules, THTF is a connected person of the Company and the aforementioned business arrangements between THTF and the Purchaser after the completion of the Acquisition, including transfer of payments received from third party customers from time to time from THTF to the Purchaser and reimbursement of payments made by THTF to third party creditors for projects undertaken by the Target Businesses will constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION AND THE FUTURE BUSINESS ARRANGEMENTS

With the continuous growth in demand for energy saving and emission reduction across the globe, national governments made great efforts in energy-saving and emission-reduction, which will bring an unprecedented historical opportunity for the energy saving industry. As a leading provider of integrated and comprehensive urban energy saving services, Technovator will continue to strengthen the urban integrated energy saving business covering various business fields in the future.

– 23 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

At the same time, with the increasing requirement for technical development and energy saving and environmental protection, the government and customers of the industry raised a higher demand for the reasonable use of resources, energy saving and consumption reduction and environmental protection in the domains of intelligent and automation control of the energy efficient infrastructure which include the fields of rail transit, building and urban heating network that THTF is engaged in.

The energy saving management of the urban infrastructure is always the core of the Group’s business, where the Group shares the same source of technology and clientele with the Target Business and has in recent years closely cooperated with THTF on providing products for the Target Business’s system integration project. Meanwhile, the Target Businesses have solid technical strength, clientele and market outlook. It will be beneficial to optimize the overall allocation of the resources, enhance business efficiency and create a good complementation and synergy after the Acquisition. In addition, the Group’s overseas capital platform can help to facilitate the more rapid and better development of the Target Businesses.

The Board is of the view that the Acquisition will facilitate the Group to optimize the layout of the industry chain, explore customers’ resources, strengthen the Group’s existing urban integrated services and seize more potential business opportunities so as to provide greater driving force and more sources for the future growth of the Group.

The Directors consider that the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including the Future Business Arrangements, and the Annual Caps are entered into on normal commercial terms, and the terms of the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

An independent board committee comprising all of the independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Fan Ren Da Anthony, Mr. Chia Yew Boon and Ms. Chen Hua, has been established in compliance with the Listing Rules to advise the Independent Shareholders, and Quam Capital Limited has been appointed as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders, in respect of the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including the Future Business Arrangements, and the Annual Caps.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE VENDOR

THTF, a Controlling Shareholder of the Company, is a joint stock limited company established in the PRC, whose shares are listed and traded on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (上海證券交易所) since June 1997. The principal businesses of THTF cover the following six sectors: internet services and terminals, public security, intelligent city; energy saving and environment protection, science park, and headquarters and investment. Its internet services and terminal sector includes business groups such as smart chips, hardware terminals and internet content services; its public security sector includes business groups such as security systems, national security and military industry; its intelligent city sector includes business groups such as internet of things, intelligent building, intelligent rail transit and intelligent urban heating network; its energy saving and environment protection sector includes business groups such as building energy saving, industrial energy saving, semi-conductor lighting and water supply.

The Target Businesses in the Acquisition are primarily the businesses relating to intelligent rail transit, intelligent building and intelligent urban heating network in the intelligent city sector which are developed based on core technologies self-developed by THTF.

EFFECT OF THE ACQUISITION ON THE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF THE GROUP

Upon completion, the Target Businesses will become part of the Group and their financial results will be consolidated into the financial results of the Company. The unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group is set out in Appendix II to this circular. The consolidated total assets and total liabilities of the Group as at 30 June 2015, as extracted from the 2015 interim report of the Company, were approximately US$457.1 million and US$215.8 million, respectively. After taking into account the effects of the Acquisition, assuming the completion of the Technovator Beijing Agreement and Tongfang Energy Saving Agreement took place on 30 June 2015, the total assets and total liabilities of the Enlarged Group would have increased to approximately US$489.9 million and US$283.4 million, respectively. As the Company and the Target Businesses are under common control of THTF, the Acquisition will be accounted for using merger accounting method in accordance with the accounting policy of the Company. Under the merger accounting method, no goodwill will arise from the Acquisition, as the assets and liabilities of the Target Businesses acquired by the Group are measured at the carrying

– 25 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

amounts as recorded by the Target Businesses, and the difference between the carrying amount of the net assets of the Target Businesses acquired by the Group and the fair value of the consideration for the Acquisition is adjusted directly to the capital reserve. As a result, the net assets of the Company would be decreased from approximately US$241.2 million to approximately US$206.4 million. Such decrease represents the difference between the consideration for the Acquisition, which is determined by reference to the fair value of the Target Business based on their valuation as set out in the Valuation Reports, and the net assets of the Target Businesses measured at the carrying amounts as recorded by the Target Businesses. Since such decrease, if materialized upon the closing of the Acquisition, will be deducted directly from the capital reserve of the Company, there will be no impact on the profit or loss of the Company. Although the consideration for the Acquisition is higher than the net assets of the Target Businesses, taking into account the valuation of the Target Businesses which is primarily based on their cashflow forecast and not on the carrying amounts of their net assets, the potential for growth of the Target Businesses, the macro-economic environment favoring the industries in which the Target Businesses operate and the strategic value of the Acquisition, the Directors consider that the Acquisition is fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Please refer to the section headed “REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION AND THE FUTURE BUSINESS ARRANGEMENTS” above for further details.

As the financial results of the Target Businesses will be consolidated into the results of the Company after the completion of the Technovator Beijing Agreement and Tongfang Energy Saving Agreement, the earnings of the Group are expected to increase. Nevertheless, the actual effect on earnings or losses of the Company will depend on future financial performance of the Target Businesses.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As at the date of the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements, THTF being the beneficial owner of 268,148,142 Shares, representing approximately 34.64% of the entire issued share capital of the Company, is a Controlling Shareholder of the Company. THTF is therefore a connected person of the Company under Rule 14A.07(1) of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Acquisition contemplated under the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements constitutes connected transactions of the Company under the Listing Rules.

As disclosed in the sections headed “THE TECHNOVATOR BEIJING AGREEMENT — Consideration” and “THE TONGFANG ENERGY SAVING AGREEMENT — Consideration”, the considerations for the Technovator Beijing Acquisition and the Tongfang Energy Saving Acquisition are subject to adjustments. The consideration may be adjusted upwards or downwards depending on the financial information of the Target Businesses as recorded in the Completion Accounts. As at the Latest Practicable Date, it is not expected that the aggregate consideration for the Acquisition will be adjusted upwards to an extent that the Acquisition will constitute a very substantial acquisition under the Listing Rules. In the event that the aggregate consideration of the Acquisition increases to the extent that the Acquisition constitutes a very substantial acquisition under the Listing Rules, the Company will re-comply with the applicable requirements under the Listing Rules in respect of the Acquisition.

– 26 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Given that the Technovator Beijing Acquisition and the Tongfang Energy Saving Acquisition are inter-conditional and the Purchaser is wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, the Board considers it appropriate to aggregate the Technovator Beijing Acquisition and the Tongfang Energy Saving Acquisition for the purpose of determining the requirements applicable to the Company under Chapter 14 and Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules in respect of the Acquisition.

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Acquisition on an aggregate basis is more than 25% but all of the applicable percentage ratios are less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements and the transactions contemplated under it are subject to reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules.

In addition, although no consideration will be paid by the Group to THTF in relation to such business arrangements, given that there will be payments between the Group and THTF pursuant to the Future Business Arrangements, the Board considers it appropriate to subject such payments to the requirements for continuing connected transactions under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, and adopt the Annual Caps as the maximum transaction amounts for the Future Business Arrangements. As each of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Annual Caps is greater than 5%, the Future Business Arrangements and the Annual Caps are subject to the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. A resolution will be put forth to the Shareholders at the EGM for the Shareholders to consider and approve the Future Business Arrangements and the Annual Caps. In the event that the Future Business Arrangements would continue after 31 December 2017 or if any of the Annual Caps would be exceeded in any relevant years, the Company will re-comply with the requirements regarding continuing connected transactions in respect of the Future Business Arrangements.

EGM

A notice convening the EGM is set out on pages EGM-1 to EGM-2 of this circular. The EGM will be convened for the Shareholders to consider, and if thought fit, to approve the transactions under the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements.

We refer to our appointment as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the terms of the Business and Assets Purchase Agreement and all transactions contemplated thereunder, including the Future Business Arrangements, and the Annual Caps, details of which are set out in the “Letter from the Board” (the “ Letter from the Board ”) contained in the circular issued by the Company to the Shareholders dated 25 September 2015 (the “ Circular ”), of which this letter forms part.

LETTER FROM QUAM CAPITAL

THE ACQUISITION

On 28 July 2015, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Technovator Beijing (as purchasers) entered into the Technovator Beijing Agreement with THTF (as vendor) to acquire the Intelligent Rail Transit Business, the Intelligent Building Business and the respective Target Assets and related assets and liabilities for a total consideration of RMB370.0 million (subject to adjustments). On 28 July 2015, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tongfang Energy Saving (as purchasers) entered into the Tongfang Energy Saving Agreement with THTF (as vendor) to acquire the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business, the respective Target Assets and related assets and liabilities for a total consideration of RMB158.0 million (subject to adjustments). The Technovator Beijing Agreement and the Tongfang Energy Saving Agreement are inter-conditional.

In addition, upon completion of the Acquisition, in order to facilitate the successful transfer of the Target Businesses pursuant to the Acquisition and the future development of the Target Businesses, pursuant to the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements, the Purchaser and THTF will enter into the Future Business Arrangements, which, among other things, will involve transfer of payments received from third party customers from time to time from THTF to the Purchaser and reimbursement of payments made by THTF to third party creditors for projects undertaken by the Target Businesses. The Future Business Arrangements will constitute continuing connected transactions upon completion of the Acquisition.

The aggregate consideration (the “ Consideration ”) of RMB528.0 million (subject to adjustments) for the Acquisition comprised of the total consideration for the Technovator Beijing Acquisition of RMB370.0 million (subject to adjustments) and the total consideration for the Tongfang Energy Saving Acquisition of RMB158.0 million (subject to adjustments) shall be satisfied in cash.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, THTF being the beneficial owner of 268,148,142 Shares, representing approximately 34.5% of the entire issued share capital of the Company, is a Controlling Shareholder of the Company. Under Rule 14A.07(1) of the Listing Rules, THTF is therefore a connected person of the Company. Accordingly, the Acquisition contemplated under the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements, including transfer of payments received from third party customers from time to time from THTF to the Purchaser and reimbursement of payments made by THTF to third party creditors for projects undertaken by the Target Businesses, constitute connected transactions of the Company under the Listing Rules is subject to reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders’ approval at the EGM.

The Company submits that the Acquisition will not constitute a very substantial acquisition by virtue of the adjustment to the consideration unless the aggregate consideration is drastically increased from RMB528 million to more than RMB3,563 million, causing the consideration ratio (defined as the aggregate consideration for the Acquisition divided by the product sum of the number of issued shares of the Company and the average of the closing prices for the five trading days immediately preceding 28 July 2015 (the “ Average Market Capitalisation ”)) to exceed 100%. As discussed with the management of the Company and based on the aggregate consideration of RMB528

LETTER FROM QUAM CAPITAL

million and the Average Market Capitalisation of HK$4,510.3 million (equivalent to approximately RMB3,563.1 million), the increase of the aggregate consideration to over RMB3,563 million, causing the consideration ratio to exceed 100% is not expected. Based on the expected completion date no later than 31 December 2015 and the latest projects on hand, the net effect of net profit, if any, of the Target Businesses for the period between the Reference Date and the Completion Date less any cash balance recorded in the Completion Accounts is expected to be less than RMB3,000 million, we concur with the view of the Company that the Acquisition will not constitute a very substantial acquisition by virtue of the adjustment to the consideration.

The Independent Board Committee, comprising all of the independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Fan Ren Da Anthony, Mr. Chia Yew Boon and Ms. Chen Hua, has been established to make recommendation to the Independent Shareholders as to whether the terms of the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements and all transactions contemplated thereunder, including the Future Business Arrangements, and the Annual Caps are fair and reasonable, and whether they are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and as to their voting at the EGM. The Independent Board Committee has approved the appointment of Quam Capital Limited as the independent financial adviser to advise them and the Independent Shareholders in this regard.

As set out in the 2014 Annual Report, revenue from building energy-saving solutions increased by approximately US$32.0 million from approximately US$128.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2013 to approximately US$160.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 which was contributed by both the Chinese and overseas markets. For the Chinese market, the Company recorded revenue from building energy-saving solutions of approximately US$95.9 million, representing an increase of approximately 28.5% as compared to the previous year. For the overseas market, the Company recorded revenue from building energy-saving solutions of approximately US$64.8 million, representing an increase of approximately 19.9% as compared to the previous year. Increasing demand on building energy-saving played an important role in keeping sustainable growth, which arose from rolling out of domestic encouraging polices and increasing awareness of energy-efficient products globally. The increase was also due to our brand recognition and experience in large-scale projects riding on the Group’s efforts to accelerate the research and development of new technology as well as strengthening sales and marketing strategies.

Revenue from industrial energy-saving solutions significantly increased by approximately 125.8% from approximately US$17.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2013 to approximately US$40.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2014. Besides the domestic encouraging policies on energy saving industry, the dramatically increase in revenue is due to more contracts completing the phase of the construction and entering into the revenue sharing period.

The two non-core business segments, which are controls security systems and fire alarm systems, recorded revenue of approximately US$20.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2014, representing an increase of approximately 1.7% as compared to 2013.

According to the 2014 Annual report, as at 31 December 2014, the Group had total assets of approximately US$362.2 million (31 December 2013: approximately US$300.4 million) and total equity attributable to the Shareholders of approximately US$129.4 million (31 December 2013: approximately US$101.9 million).

Liquidity and financial resources

During 2014, the Group has financed its operations primarily through cash flow from operations and bank borrowings. As at 31 December 2014, the Group had approximately US$74.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash in the banks and on hand and deposits that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash.

As of 31 December 2014, the Group’s indebtedness consisted of short-term loan of approximately US$63.7 million, average annual interest rate is approximately 5.93%, long-term loan of approximately US$38.5 million, average annual interest rate is approximately 6.15% and obligations under finance lease of approximately US$0.1 million. The increase in the Group’s indebtedness in 2014 was mainly due to the Group’s business expansion in China. The gearing ratio of the Group as at 31 December 2014, defined as loans and borrowings divided by total assets, is approximately 28.2% (2013: approximately 22.7%).

The decrease in the Group’s indebtedness for the six months ended 30 June 2015 was mainly due to the repayment of bank loans. The gearing ratio of the Group as at 31 December 2014, defined as loans and borrowings divided by total assets, is approximately 20.7% (31 December 2014: approximately 28.2%). The decrease was due to the repayment of loans and borrowing and the top-up placing of 128,994,000 shares on 12 May 2015.

LETTER FROM QUAM CAPITAL

As shown from the above table, save for the net loss of the Intelligent Building Business for the two years ended 31 December 2013, each of the Target Businesses recorded net profit for the three years ended 31 December 2014. The net loss of the Intelligent Building Business for the two years ended 31 December 2013 was mainly attributable to (i) amortisation of intangible assets during each of the two years ended 31 December 2013; and (ii) lower gross profit margin of certain projects for the year ended 31 December 2012. For the year ended 31 December 2014, the Intelligent Building Business recorded a revenue of approximately RMB126.5 million and a net profits after tax of approximately RMB3.8 million, which was mainly contributed by the increase in the number of large-scale projects with higher gross profit margins and contract sums.

The revenue of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business for the year ended 31 December 2013 increased from approximately RMB131.3 million to approximately RMB232.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2014, representing an increase of approximately 77.2%, and such increase in revenue was mainly attributable to the increase in the number of large-scale projects with higher contract sums.

As advised by the management of the Target Businesses, the profit margin of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business was relatively high as compared to those of the Intelligent Building Business and the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business, mainly attributable to higher entry barriers for the intelligent rail transit service industry and longer project duration.

The Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business recorded a revenue of approximately RMB184.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2014, representing a decrease of approximately 3.3% from approximately RMB190.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2013, and a decrease of approximately 59.2% in net profit after tax from approximately RMB20.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2013 to approximately RMB8.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2014, mainly attributable to the increase in urban heating technology development cost in 2013 and the commencement of amortisation of intangible assets for the year ended 31 December 2014.

As shown from the above table, save for the net current liabilities of the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business as at 31 December 2012, the Target Businesses had net current asset positions as at 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014. The net assets of the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business improved substantially as at 31 December 2013 was mainly attributed to the increase of approximately RMB25.5 million in inventories and the increase of approximately RMB25.3 million in trade and other receivables mainly due to the increase of revenue for the year ended 31 December 2013 and the increase in construction in progress.

LETTER FROM QUAM CAPITAL

As shown from the above table, the net current asset position of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business deteriorated as at 31 December 2013, mainly due to the increase of approximately RMB61.4 million in receipt in advance and other payables due to third parties for new projects. It was mainly attributable to the business cycle of the nature of the projects undertook by the Intelligent Rail Transit Business which requires significant amount of prepayments from customers for purchases of raw materials and equipments in the commencement of the projects and the revenue of projects will be incurred according to actual progresses of projects. The net current asset position of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business improved substantially as at 31 December 2014, mainly contributed by the significant increase in trade and other receivables of approximately RMB100.5 million and gross amount due from customers for contract work of approximately RMB61.0 million.

As after completion of the Acquisition, all current employees of the Target Businesses, whose employment will be transferred to the Purchaser, will continue to be responsible for the operation of the Target Businesses, the relevant personnel at the Target Businesses currently responsible for managing sales and supply contracts at the Target Businesses according to their respective functions, including sales, project management, procurement, operation and finance, will continue to be responsible for managing these contracts under the overall supervision of the general manager of the respective Target Businesses and the senior management of the Purchaser. Specifically, the sales department will continue to be primarily responsible for determining the terms of bids on projects and negotiating the terms of sales contracts, and the procurement department will continue to be responsible for preparing or negotiating supply contracts, both of which will be subject to review by the Target Businesses’ other business functions, including the finance department and operation departments. After the form of the draft contracts and the proposed terms are determined, having taken into account the input from the relevant departments at the Target Businesses and the result of negotiation with the third party customers or suppliers, such contracts will require the approval of the general manager of the respective Target Businesses before the Target Businesses request and instruct THTF to enter into such contracts.

Likewise, under such arrangements, if after completion of the Acquisition circumstances arise such that it is necessary or desirable for THTF to be a contracting party to new sales, supply or project contracts of the Target Businesses, THTF may cooperate with Technovator Beijing or Tongfang Energy Saving (as applicable) in the performance of such contracts for the relevant customers, and transfer any payments it receives from the relevant customers of the Target Businesses to Technovator Beijing and Tongfang Energy Saving, respectively, without any additional charges.

LETTER FROM QUAM CAPITAL

Accordingly, the risks and legal obligations of THTF and the Purchaser arising from the Acquisition shall be undertaken in accordance with the above terms.

In particular, to the extent that the legal rights of THTF under the Business and Assets Purchase Agreement in respect of any Acquired Projects have been assigned to the Purchaser upon completion of the Acquisition, the Purchaser shall assume all the rights and obligations in respect of the Acquired Projects and be responsible for any claim, controversy or dispute arising out of the disputed project. To the extent that the legal rights of THTF under the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements in respect of any Acquired Projects have not been assigned to the Purchaser upon completion of the Acquisition, THTF shall assume the liabilities for any claim, controversy or dispute arising out of the disputed project to the third party. To comply with its own obligations under the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements, THTF will still be required to pay all income received from customers of any Acquired Projects to the Purchaser even if the Purchaser breaches their undertaking under the relevant Business and Assets Purchase Agreements to perform the work as required by the Acquired Projects as mentioned above. Nonetheless THTF might have legal recourse against the Purchaser in such circumstances.

As disclosed in the sections headed “THE TECHNOVATOR BEIJING AGREEMENT — Consideration” and “THE TONGFANG ENERGY SAVING AGREEMENT — Consideration” in the Letter from the Board, the considerations for the Technovator Beijing Acquisition and the Tongfang Energy Saving Acquisition are subject to adjustments. The consideration may be adjusted upwards or downwards depending on the financial results of the Target Businesses as recorded in their respective Completion Accounts for the period between the Reference Date and the Completion Date. We have reviewed the Technovator Beijing Agreement and the Tongfang Energy Saving Agreement and further discussed with the management of the Company regarding the aforesaid adjustment mechanism of the Consideration, and we note that (i) the initial Consideration of RMB528.0 million was determined with reference to the Valuation Reports in respect of the aggregate value of each of the Target Businesses as at the Valuation Date issued by the Valuer; (ii) the adjustments will be made with reference to the net profit or loss in the respective Completion Accounts of each of the Target Businesses for the period between the Reference Date, being the same as the Valuation Date, and the Completion Date; and (iii) downward adjustment will be made for the amount of cash balance recorded in the Completion Accounts for any of the Target Businesses as at the Completion Date. We consider that the adjustment is fair and reasonable as the adjustments take into account of the net profit or loss between the Valuation Date and the Completion Date and the cash balances of the Target Businesses as such cash will not be transferred to Technovator Beijing and/or Tongfang Energy Saving. As at the Latest Practicable Date, it is not expected that the aggregate consideration for the Acquisition will be adjusted upwards to an extent that the Acquisition will constitute a very substantial acquisition under the Listing Rules.

– 47 –

LETTER FROM QUAM CAPITAL

As set out in the Letter from the Board, for projects for which the Target Businesses have submitted bids under the name of THTF before the completion of the Acquisition, THTF will be required to be the contracting party in accordance with the rules of the relevant tenders. In addition, after completion of the Acquisition, THTF will no longer be capable of carrying out the Target Businesses and fulfil customer’s requirements for those services. In case of any potential customer who would need time to obtain their own internal approval to deal with a new owner of the Target Businesses and therefore wishes to continue to deal with THTF in the meantime due to their history of dealings with THTF, the Company may capture such opportunity by leveraging on the Future Business Arrangements. Hence, the Future Business Arrangements also cover new projects which may be undertaken by the Target Businesses in the future. We concur with the Directors’ view that the Future Business Arrangements an integral aspect of the Acquisition and one of the key factors taken into account by the Company for entering into the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements. We consider that the Future Business Arrangements are in the best interest of the Company.

5. Valuation of the Target Businesses

According to the Valuation Reports as set out in Appendices VII, VIII, and IX to the Circular, the Intelligent Rail Transit Business, the Intelligent Building Business and the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business were valued at RMB197,000,000, RMB173,000,000, and RMB158,000,000 respectively as at 31 March 2015. The total Consideration is same as the aggregate valuation amount of the Target Businesses.

We have interviewed the Valuer regarding its expertise and understand that the Valuer is an independent professional valuer with an established track record of business valuations. The Valuer confirmed that it is an independent third party to the parties to the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements and their respective core connected persons. We have also reviewed the terms of the Valuer ’s engagement letter and noted that the scope of work is appropriate for arriving at the opinion of fair value on the Target Businesses and we are unaware that there are any limitations on the relevant scope of work. Furthermore, nothing has come to our attention that parties to the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements had made formal or informal representation to the Valuer that contravenes with our understanding of the information, to a material extent, as set out in this circular. Based on the above, we are of the opinion that we have complied with the requirements of Rule 13.80(2)(d) of the Listing Rules.

In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the valuation of the Target Businesses, we have studied the valuation methodology, basis of valuation and assumptions underlying the Valuation Reports.

(i) Valuation methodology

We observed from the Valuation Reports that the Valuer had considered three generally accepted valuation methods, i.e. income method, market

– 48 –

LETTER FROM QUAM CAPITAL

method and cost method and the valuation of the Target Businesses have been carried out on the basis of fair value under the discounted cash flow approach under the income method for a period from April 2015 to perpetuity. As set out in the Valuation Reports, the discounted cash flow approach is a method of estimating the Target Businesses’ assets portfolio by discounting their expected cash flow to present value, that is, the value of the Target Businesses’ assets portfolio is determined by estimating the prospective cash flows and discounting them to present value using an appropriate discount rate that reflects both the current return requirements of the market and the risks inherent in the Target Businesses portfolio.

We have discussed with the Valuer regarding the valuation methodology of the valuation, the forecast of the future income generated from the Target Businesses and the underlying assumptions of the valuation as stated in the Valuation Reports. After discussion with the Valuer, we understand that in the process of valuing the Target Businesses, the Valuer has taken into consideration the industry and nature of the Target Businesses. Having considered the three general valuation methodologies, the Valuer believed that the income method would be appropriate and reasonable in the appraisal of the value of the Target Businesses and the Target Business Related Assets and Liabilities. On the other hand, the market method is not appropriate as the data relating to comparable transaction precedents for comparison is not available and there are any non-market value factors is unknown. As cost method cannot fully reflect the intangible asset value of the profitability of the Target Businesses, the cost method is not appropriate. Therefore, we and the Valuer are of the view that the income method is the most appropriate valuation methodology.

(ii) Valuation of the Target Businesses and its assumptions

We have discussed with the Valuer regarding the factors taken into account in estimating the free cash flow and the determination of the discount rate under the discounted cash flow methodology adopted in such valuation. We have been advised that the value of the Target Businesses was calculated on the basis of free cash flows, depreciation and amortisation, capital expenditures, net change in working capital and discount rate, which is calculated at annual rates ranging from 11.64% to 12.77% as estimated using Capital Asset Pricing Model (“ CAPM ”) with consideration of the capital structure of the Company. We have reviewed the forecast of the future expected income based on 395 total contracts under the Target Businesses with aggregated current contract sums of approximately RMB4,701 million and the future expected income from the projected new contracts to be entered into between 2015 and 2019 based on the historical revenue growth rate of the Target Businesses between 2010 and 2014 and the future expected perpetual income after 2019 based on the expected cash flows for the year 2019 and concur with the Valuer that such forecast of the future expected income has been properly compiled in accordance with the assumptions made by the Directors which have been made with due care and consideration and made on an objective and a reasonable basis.

– 49 –

LETTER FROM QUAM CAPITAL

We also understand that the discount rate applied to the value of the Target Businesses is based on the cost of equity finance which is developed through the application of the CAPM. The cost of equity, which represents the required rate of return of the Target Businesses, is estimated by using the CAPM taking into account the average market risk premium, risk free interest rate, market return of the PRC and risk adjustment specific to the Target Businesses. The risk adjustment specific to the Target Businesses is determined as 3% with thorough consideration of production and operation scale, status of operation, financial position and liquidity of the Target Businesses portfolio.

We note from the Valuation Report that the conclusions of valuation regarding the Target Businesses are based on the following, amongst others, assumptions, pre-conditions, and limiting conditions:

  1. Assuming the valuation objects are a complete Target Businesses portfolio, and the entire assets, liabilities and intangible assets included in the Target Businesses portfolio are fully transferred.

  2. The fees including operation and management fees of the valuation objects in the coming operating periods will remain relatively stable, and change reasonably following the changes in business scale.

  3. Sales income from the valuation objects is generated in each interim forecast period, and there is no material adverse change in accounting policy and accounting review approach.

  4. The estimation of estimated income is based on the premise of normal operation and management of the overall assets of the Target Businesses portfolio at the Valuation Date, basically taking into no account of the impacts towards the change of the overall asset value of the Target Businesses portfolio due to accidental factors such as further investments or reduction of assets.

Based on our discussion with the management of the Company and the Valuer, we understand that while it is the discretion of the Valuer in selecting the most appropriate methodologies in valuing the underlying business based on their professional judgment, the valuation methods adopted by the Valuer as mentioned above are commonly used and accepted in the PRC and are in accordance with the relevant rules and regulations concerning valuation issued by the Ministry of Finance, the PRC and other relevant authorities in the PRC. The value of the Target Businesses has been reasonably prepared and is normal in nature without any unusual assumption and the basis of the value of the Target Businesses is fair and reasonable. As such, we consider the valuation of the Target Businesses is a good reference for Independent Shareholders to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Consideration and having considered the fact that the Board has taken into account the

– 50 –

LETTER FROM QUAM CAPITAL

valuation of the Target Businesses when determining the Consideration, we are of the opinion that the terms of the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Independent Shareholders are advised to refer to the Valuation Reports prepared by the Valuer contained in Appendices VII, VIII and IX to the Circular for details of the basis and assumptions of the valuation of the Target Businesses.

6. Financial effects of the Acquisition

As disclosed in the Letter from the Board, the Target Businesses will become part of the Group and their financial results will be consolidated into the financial results of the Company upon completion of the Acquisition. Set out below is an analysis of the financial impact of the Acquisition on the Group.

(i) Earnings

According to the accountants’ reports on the Target Businesses from the Company’s reporting accountant as set out in Appendices III, IV and V to this circular, the Target Businesses were profit-making for the year ended 31 December 2014. Upon completion of the Acquisition, the Target Businesses will become part of the Group and their financial results will be consolidated into the financial results of the Group. The actual effect on earnings or losses of the Company will depend on future financial performance of the Target Businesses. As the decrease in the unaudited pro forma net asset value of the Enlarged Group will be deducted directly from the capital reserve of the Company upon completion of the Acquisition, no gain or loss of the Company is expected to arise directly from the Acquisition.

(ii) Net asset value

As the Company and the Target Businesses are under common control of THTF, the Acquisition will be accounted for using merger accounting method in accordance with the accounting policy of the Company. Under the merger accounting method, no goodwill will arise from the Acquisition, as the assets and liabilities of the Target Businesses acquired by the Group are measured at the carrying amounts as recorded by the Target Businesses, and the difference between the carrying amount of the net assets of the Target Businesses acquired by the Group and the fair value of the consideration for the Acquisition is adjusted directly to the capital reserve. According to the pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix II to the Circular, the unaudited pro forma net asset value of the Enlarged Group was approximately US$206.4 million, representing a decrease of approximately US$34.8 million when compared to the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Group as at 30 June 2015 of approximately US$241.2 million.

Such decrease, represents the difference between the consideration for the Acquisition, which is determined by reference to the fair value of the

– 51 –

LETTER FROM QUAM CAPITAL

Target Business based on their valuation as set out in the Valuation Reports, and the net assets of the Target Businesses measured at the carrying amounts as recorded by the Target Businesses, is mainly attributable to the net effect of (i) the decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately US$86.4 million for the payment of the Consideration; (ii) the increase in trade and other payables of approximately US$67.6 million; (iii) the increase in gross amounts due from customers for contract work of approximately US$57.4 million; (iv) the increase in trade and other receivables of approximately US$32.1 million; and (v) the increase in intangible assets of approximately US$17.5 million as a result of the Acquisition.

We note that the unaudited net asset value of the Group as at 30 June 2015 amounted to US$0.31 per Share (equivalent to approximately HK$2.42 per Share) (calculated based on 777,572,189 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date).

However, Shareholders should note that the exact effects of the Acquisition on the Group’s net assets value shall only be determined, and subject to audit, upon completion of the Acquisition based on the then fair value of the consolidated net assets of the Target Business and the Target Business Related Assets and Liabilities.

(iii) Working capital position

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Consideration will be satisfied in cash by the Company. Therefore, there will be a cash outflow of the Group arising from settlement of the Consideration. As set out in Appendix II to the circular, the unaudited pro forma cash and cash equivalent balance would be approximately US$48.5 million assuming the Acquisition had been completed as at 30 June 2015. As advised by the management of the Target Businesses, it is projected to incur new capital expenditure of approximately RMB13.6 million during the year ending 31 December 2015 for future development. We have also discussed with the reporting accountants of the Company and as set out in the Appendix I of this circular, the Directors are of the opinion that the Enlarged Group has sufficient working capital for its present requirements for the next 12 months from the date of this circular taking into account the financial resources available to the Enlarged Group. As advised by the management of the Company, the additional financing needs for the cash requirement for the new projected projects of the Target Businesses would be fulfilled by cash collected gradually from the completed projects and/or bank borrowings. Given the duration of revenue generated from the existing projects of the Target Businesses are normally in the range of 2 to 5 years, we also considered that the Target Businesses can generate a recurring cash flow to the Enlarged Group upon completion of the Acquisition once all of the aforesaid contracts have been implemented and completed. Therefore, save for the Consideration to be satisfied in cash, there will not be any imminent cash flow burden of the Enlarged Group arising from the projected capital expenditure for the expected new projects in 2015.

– 52 –

LETTER FROM QUAM CAPITAL

(iv) Gearing

Based on the pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix II to the Circular, the gearing ratio, being measured on the basis of the total loans and borrowings over the total assets, of the Enlarged Group decreased from approximately 20.7% of the Group as at 30 June 2015 to 19.3% due to (i) the increase in gross amounts due from customers for contract work of approximately US$57.4 million; (ii) the increase in trade and other receivables of approximately US$32.1 million; and (iii) the increase in intangible assets of approximately US$17.5 million as a result of the Acquisition.

(v) Conclusion

Despite the decrease in the unaudited pro forma net asset value of the Enlarged Group upon completion of the Acquisition as mentioned above, taking into account (i) the total consideration is same as the aggregate valuation amount of the Target Businesses according to the Valuations Reports as set out in Appendices VII, VIII and IX to the Circular; (ii) the business prospects of the Target Businesses; (iii) the synergies brought by the Acquisition to the Group and positive outlook of the rail-transit and energy-saving industries in the PRC in the long run as detailed in sub-section headed “7. Reasons for and benefits of the entering into of the Sale and Purchase Agreement including the Future Business Arrangements, and the Annual Caps” in this letter; and (iv) the Enlarged Group has sufficient working capital to cover the resulted future cash outflow of the Target Businesses in 2015, we concur with the Directors that the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

It was also stated in the 2014 Annual Report, the Group will brace itself to enter into more cities and regions, cooperate with a more diversified customer base and move towards a broader business field with advancement in energy saving driven by technology. Given the Group’s expansion of energy saving coverage to heat supply and rail transport and the Group shares the same source of technology and clientele with the Target Businesses, the Acquisition will further strengthen the Group’s existing technical strength in energy-saving industry and provide a positive synergy impact in better serving its diversified customer base with a wide array of experienced know-how in relation to intelligent construction projects, urban energy projects and urban transportation

projects. In addition, the Group’s overseas capital platform can provide sources of funding to facilitate the more rapid and better development of the Target Businesses. Thus, we concur with the view of the management of the Company that the entering into of the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements and the Annual Caps in line with the Group’s business strategy.

Upon completion of the Acquisition, the Target Businesses can provide unique intelligence integrated solutions in architectural, industrial and transportation usage as mentioned in the paragraph headed “The Business and Assets Purchase Agreement” above to the Enlarged Group, as well as serving a platform for the Enlarged Group to take advantage of its existing networks to expand its client bases and to further penetrate into the share in energy-saving industry in the PRC. In view of the potential growth in the energy management business, the favourable policy for the energy saving industry set out by the PRC government as set out in the 12th Five-Year Plan and the expanded pools of clientele by sharing information and technology under the energy-saving solution industry, we concur with the Board’s view that the Acquisition will facilitate the Group to optimize the layout of the industry chain, explore customers’ resources, strengthen the Group’s existing urban integrated services and seize more potential business opportunities so as to provide greater driving force and more sources for the future growth of the Group.

Having considered the abovementioned reasons and benefits, we are of the view that the Acquisition offer the Company a good opportunity to further expand into the businesses relating to intelligent rail transit, intelligent building and intelligent urban heating network in the intelligent city sector by leveraging on the existing capabilities and clientele of the Target Businesses and the Group’s expertise in the energy saving industry and are of the opinion that the Acquisition, including the Future Business Arrangements, and the Annual Caps are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

8. Basis of the Annual Caps

The amount of the Annual Caps for each of the years ending 31 December 2015, 2016 and 2017 are set out as follows:

Year ending 31 December Year ending 31 December
2015 2016 2017
(RMB (RMB (RMB
million) million) million)
Payments to be transferred
by THTF to the Group 338 778 874
Payments to be transferred
by the Group to THTF 238 622 700

– 58 –

LETTER FROM QUAM CAPITAL

As set out in the Letter from the Board, the Annual Caps were determined based on the following factors:

  • (i) sales data of the Target Businesses, including the contract price of the Acquired Projects, contracts in negotiation and bidding of projects participated by the Target Businesses, and estimated growth for each of the Target Businesses (as further detailed in paragraph (v) below);

  • (ii) historical pattern of payments of contract prices by the Target Businesses’ customers — based on the historical pattern of payments of contract prices, for the purpose of determining the amount of fees to be received by the Purchaser from third party customers through THTF, a proportion of the aggregate value of the contracts is allocated to each year at a certain percentage, representing the estimated amount of payments to be received by the Purchaser in each year, taking into account the particular historical payment pattern for each of the Target Businesses and the actual settlement status of the Acquired Projects as at the Valuation Date. In addition, in assessing the Annual Caps for the year 2015, which represents the maximum transaction amount for the three months ending 31 December 2015, the Company has taken into account the seasonality of payments by customers, based on the historical pattern that during 2012 to 2014, approximately 33% to 54% of the total payments received for a given year were collected by the Target Businesses during the last quarter of that year;

  • (iii) historical cost of sales of the Target Businesses — the historical cost of sales of the Target Businesses as a percentage of revenue received each year is used to approximate the amount of payments that the Purchaser will pay to THTF to settle debts with third party creditors by reference to the amount of contract price it will receive for the given year. In addition, in assessing the Annual Caps for the year 2015, the Company has taken into account the seasonality of the purchases from third party suppliers, based on the historical pattern that during 2012 to 2014, approximately 30% to 52% of the total payments paid to third party creditors for a given year were paid by the Target Businesses during the last quarter of that year;

  • (iv) trends of the gross profit margin of each of the Target Businesses — the historical gross profit margins of the Target Businesses are different and present different trends. For the purpose of determining the cost of sales of the Target Businesses as a percentage of revenue received each year (as mentioned in paragraph (iii) above), based on the historical gross profit margins of the Target Businesses and taking into account the prevailing trend of such gross profit margins, the gross profit margin for each of the Target Businesses for each of the three years ending 31 December 2017 is assumed to be a certain percentage between approximately 18% and 23%, depending on the particular Target Businesses and year concerned; and

– 59 –

LETTER FROM QUAM CAPITAL

  • (v) expected growth of the Target Businesses — based on the historical growth rates of the Target Businesses, taking into account industry trends and macro-economic factors, for the purpose of determining the Annual Caps, a separate percentage is assigned as the growth rate of the aggregate contract price of the projects undertaken by each of the Target Businesses for each of the three years ending 31 December 2017. Based on such parameters, the total contract price of the Target Businesses as a whole is assumed to increase at a rate of approximately 15% per year during the three years ending 31 December 2017, depending on the year concerned.

The Annual Caps are determined on the assumption that none of the existing sales, supply or project contract of the Target Businesses are assigned to Technovator Beijing or Tongfang Energy Saving, as such assignment would require consents of the relevant customers.

The Annual Cap of payments to be transferred by THTF to the Group and payments to be transferred by the Group to THTF for the year ending 31 December 2015 was determined based on (i) the expected payments to be transferred by THTF to the Group and the expected payments to be transferred by the Group to THTF in the fourth quarter of 2015; and (ii) the historical seasonal factor of higher proportion of payments transferred to be accounted for the two years ended 31 December 2014. The Annual Caps of payments to be transferred by THTF to the Group and payments to be transferred by the Group to THTF for the years ending 31 December 2016 and 2017 were determined based on the expected payments to be transferred by THTF to the Group and the expected payments to be transferred by the Group to THTF for the years ending 31 December 2016 and 2017 with reference to the forecast of future expected income for the respective year complied in accordance with the assumptions made by the Directors which have been made with due care and consideration and made on an objective and a reasonable basis.

Having reviewed the Valuation Reports, discussed with management of the Group and the Target Businesses and considered the basis and factors taken into account by the Company in determining the Annual Caps as described above, we are of the view that the Annual Caps are fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

9. Pricing and Payment Terms of the Future Business Arrangements

As set out in the Letter from the Board, the transactions between the Purchaser and THTF under the Future Business Arrangements are part and parcel of the subject matter of the Acquisition, for which THTF will not be entitled to any additional fees or compensation.

– 60 –

LETTER FROM QUAM CAPITAL

Hence, THTF will not be entitled to any additional fees or compensation for transferring payments received from third party customers to the Purchaser under the Future Business Arrangements, and the full amount received by THTF from third party customers will be transferred to the relevant Purchaser, no later than the balance sheet date of the month in which such amount is received.

Similarly, THTF will not be entitled to any additional fees or compensation for settling debts with third party creditors under the Future Business Arrangements, and the Purchaser is required to reimburse THTF for the full amount of such payments no later than the balance sheet date of the month in which such amount is paid by THTF.

The prices for new sales contracts to which THTF will act as the party will be negotiated with third party customers based on the price range as indicated by the prices charged by the relevant Target Business in at least two projects within the past 12 months with scope of services undertaken and/or for products sold by the relevant Target Business which most closely resembles the requirements of the new sales contract concerned. The prices for the purchase of material and/or services to be procured under supply contracts subject to the Future Business Arrangements will be negotiated with third party suppliers based on the price range as indicated by the prices paid by the relevant Target Business in at least two purchases within the past 12 months for similar material and/or services. The sales and procurement departments of the Target Businesses will be primarily responsible for setting or negotiating the pricing and payment terms of sales and supply contracts, with input from other relevant departments at the Target Businesses, such as their respective finance and operation departments. The approval of the general manager of the respective Target Businesses will be required before the Target Businesses request and instruct THTF to enter into such contracts. We consider the internal controls as set out above are sufficient to monitor the transactions between the Purchaser and THTF and/or the future customers and/or the future suppliers under the Future Business Arrangements.

Having considered (i) the above internal controls of the Target Businesses regarding the pricing and payment terms of sales and supply contracts; (ii) THTF takes a passive role under the Future Business Arrangements; (iii) THTF will not be entitled to any additional fees or compensation for any transactions between the Purchaser and THTF under the Future Business Arrangements; (iv) the Future Business Arrangements will enable the Purchaser to seamlessly take over the Acquired Projects upon completion of the Acquisition and allow the Target Businesses to continue to develop and grow without any interruption as a result of the change in their ownership; (v) it will take time for the Purchaser to establish its position in the market under its own name as the Purchaser is entering into the Target Businesses; and (vi) the Purchaser can avoid loss of potential business opportunities with its assistance by way of the Future Business Arrangements due to the Purchaser’s relatively new presence in the relevant markets as THTF has been operating in the Target Businesses for a significant period of time and has built its brand recognition among customers, we are of the opinion that the pricing and payment terms of the transactions between the Purchaser and THTF and/or the

– 61 –

LETTER FROM QUAM CAPITAL

future customers and/or the future suppliers under the Future Business Arrangements are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the shareholders as a whole.

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered (i) the reasons for and benefits of the entering into of the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements including the Future Business Arrangements; (ii) the Valuation Reports on the Target Businesses; (iii) the financial effects of the Acquisition as mentioned above; (iv) the basis of the Annual Caps, we are of the opinion that the entering into of the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements, including the Future Business Arrangements, and the Annual Caps, are not conducted in the ordinary course of business of the Company but are in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole and the terms of the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements, including the Future Business Arrangements, and the Annual Caps are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. We therefore recommend (i) the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders; and (ii) the Independent Shareholders, to vote in favour of the relevant resolutions to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including the Future Business Arrangements, and the Annual Caps.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of Quam Capital Limited Gary Mui Deputy Chief Executive Officer

2. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

Following the world’s continuous growth of demand on energy saving and reduction of emission especially on carbon emission reduction in the first half of 2015, as well as the strong facilitation of the energy saving and environmental protection industry by various nations, the PRC government’s focus on implementing energy efficiency enhancement plans and insistence on the strategic priority of energy saving will bring an unprecedented historic opportunity for the energy saving industry in PRC. This can be evidenced by the steady growth of each of the Group’s business segments during the first half of 2015, where China market growth continued to act as the driving force for the Group as a whole.

For building energy-saving, the Group successively secured the tender for several landmark buildings in China during the first half of 2015, including Shanghai Jing’an Tower (上海靜安大廈) and Chongqing Bank Tower (重慶銀行大廈). For industrial energy-saving, a dozen of Energy Management Contract (EMC) projects are obtaining stable energy saving revenue. Certain large-scale projects are at preparatory stage and expected to be executed within the second half of 2015. In addition, as a leading provider of integrated and comprehensive energy saving services, the Group responded to the development needs of the era of big data and took the lead in the industry to propose the idea of “Internet + Energy Saving” and put it into practice. During the first half of 2015, the Group successfully signed contracts for implementing several important projects such as Huiyun Intelligent Management System of Wanda Plaza (萬達廣場慧雲智能化管理系統), the “Pilot Test of National Energy Internet” service project of Suzhou Industrial Park (蘇州 工業園「國家級能源互聯網試點」服務項目), and the “Central Platform for Energy Consumption Data Analysis of Public Buildings” project of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of the PRC.

In the future, the energy saving market in PRC will focus on industrial, construction and transportation areas. With a view to strengthening the Group’s core technology capability, expanding the international influence and competitiveness of its brand, and maintaining the stable growth of its basic businesses, the Group will continue to fully utilize the listing platform for effective capital operation. Further, the Group will continue to invest in research and development and keep on innovating technology and application platform. The Group will also expand business fields and models, strengthen industry chain arrangement and search for more potential business opportunities through merger and acquisition and various forms of cooperation, so as to provide continuous and solid force for the Group’s future growth.

On 9 March 2015, the Group made an announcement on its proposed disposal of the Group’s entire interest in Distech Controls Inc. (“Distech Controls”), a subsidiary in Canada, and it is expected that a profit before tax of approximately CAD$122 million will be obtained from such disposal. Such disposal of Distech Controls provided substantial investment returns to the Group on one hand, and assisted Distech Controls to strive for larger room for future development on the other hand, while with both parties continued business connection and cooperation, which promoted the growth of the Group, and leading to long-term mutual benefits and joint development.

The following is the text of a report received from the reporting accountants, KPMG, Certified Public Accountants, Hong Kong, in respect of the Group’s pro forma financial information for the purpose in this circular.

8th Floor Prince’s Building 10 Chater Road Central Hong Kong

25 September 2015

TO THE DIRECTORS OF TECHNOVATOR INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of pro forma financial information of Technovator International Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”) by the directors of the Company (the “Directors”) for illustrative purposes only. The pro forma financial information consists of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as at 30 June 2015 and related notes as set out in Part B of Appendix II to the circular dated 25 September 2015 (the “Circular”) issued by the Company. The applicable criteria on the basis of which the Directors have compiled the pro forma financial information are described in Part B of Appendix II to the Circular.

The pro forma financial information has been compiled by the Directors to illustrate the impact of the proposed acquisition of the intelligent rail transit business, the intelligent building business and the intelligent urban heating network business of Tsinghua Tongfang Co., Ltd (the “Target Businesses” ) (the “Acquisition”) on the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2015 as if the Acquisition had taken place at 30 June 2015. As part of this process, information about the Group’s assets and liabilities as at 30 June 2015 has been extracted by the Directors from the interim report of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2015, on which a review report has been published.

Directors’ Responsibilities for the Pro Forma Financial Information

The Directors are responsible for compiling the pro forma financial information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”) and with reference to Accounting Guideline 7 “Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars” (“AG 7”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”).

Reporting Accountants’ Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by paragraph 4.29(7) of the Listing Rules, on the pro forma financial information and to report our opinion to you. We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the pro forma financial information beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements (“HKSAE”) 3420 “Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus” issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that the reporting accountants comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Directors have compiled the pro forma financial information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules, and with reference to AG 7 issued by the HKICPA.

For purpose of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information.

The purpose of pro forma financial information included in an investment circular is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant event or transaction on the unadjusted financial information of the Group as if the event had occurred or the transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the events or transactions at 30 June 2015 would have been as presented.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the Directors in the compilation of the pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

  • the related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and

  • the pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.

The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants’ judgement, having regard to the reporting accountants’ understanding of the nature of the Group, the event or transaction in respect of which the pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the pro forma financial information.

(1) Introduction to the unaudited pro forma financial information

The following is the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group, being the Group together with the Target Businesses, as if the Acquisition had been completed on 30 June 2015 for the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. Details of the Acquisition are set out in the section headed “Letter from the Board” contained in this Circular.

The unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group has been prepared in accordance with Paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules, for the purpose of illustrating the effect of the Acquisition pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreements by and among the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Tongfang Technovator Int (Beijing) Co., Ltd and Tongfang Energy Saving Engineering Technology Co., Ltd., and Tsinghua Tongfang Co., Ltd (the “Business and Assets Purchase Agreements”). Because of its hypothetical nature, the unaudited pro forma financial information may not give a true picture of the financial position of the Enlarged Group had the Acquisition been completed as of the specified date or any future date.

The unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group is based upon the consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2015, which has been extracted from the Company’s interim report for the six months ended 30 June 2015 as referred to in Appendix I to this Circular; the statements of financial position of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business, the Intelligent Building Business and the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business as at 31 March 2015 set out in Appendix III, Appendix IV and Appendix V to this Circular respectively, and adjusted on a pro forma basis to reflect the effect of the Acquisition. These pro forma adjustments are (i) directly attributable to the Acquisition and not relating to other future events and decision and (ii) factually supportable based on the terms of the Business and Assets Purchase Agreements.

The unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group should be read in conjunction with the historical financial information of the Group set out in the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2015 and other financial information included elsewhere in this Circular.

We set out below our report on the financial information relating to the Intelligent Rail Transit Business (as defined in note 1(a) of Section B) of Tsinghua Tongfang Co., Ltd. (“Tongfang”) comprising the statements of financial position of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business as at 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014 and 31 March 2015 and the statements of comprehensive income, the statements of changes in parent’s net investment and the cash flow statements of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business, for each of the years ended 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014 and the three months ended 31 March 2015 (the “Relevant Periods”), and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (the “Financial Information”), for inclusion in the circular issued by Technovator International Limited (the “Company”) dated 25 September 2015 (the “Circular”) in connection with the proposed acquisitions of businesses in relation to providing intelligent integrated solutions which center around supervision and control systems in the fields of Intelligent Rail Transit, Intelligent Building and Intelligent Urban Heating Network and related assets by the Company (the “Proposed Acquisition”).

Tongfang was established on 25 June 1997 with limited liability in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) and its common stock is listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Tongfang prepares its consolidated financial statements comprising Tongfang and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Tongfang Group”) in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises or referred to as China Accounting Standards (“CAS”). During the Relevant Periods, the Intelligent Rail Transit Business did not operate in the form of standalone entities and was held and operated by Tongfang. As the Intelligent Rail Transit Business constitutes only part of the Tongfang Group, no financial statements for the Intelligent Rail Transit Business have previously been prepared or reported on a standalone basis.

APPENDIX III

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT RAIL TRANSIT BUSINESS

In connection with the Proposed Acquisition, the management of Tongfang has prepared the financial statements of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business for the Relevant Periods (the “Underlying Financial Statements”) on the same basis as used in the preparation of the Financial Information set out in section B below. The Underlying Financial Statements for the Relevant Periods were audited by KPMG Huazhen LLP (畢馬 威華振會計師事務所(特殊普通合夥)) in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the Hong Kong Institution of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”).

The Financial Information has been prepared by the directors of the Company for inclusion in the Circular in connection with the Proposed Acquisition based on the Underlying Financial Statements, with no adjustments made thereon and in accordance with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”).

DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the HKICPA and the applicable disclosure provisions of the Listing Rules, and for such internal control as the directors of the Company determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ RESPONSIBILITY

Our responsibility is to form an opinion on the Financial Information based on our procedures performed in accordance with Auditing Guideline “Prospectuses and the Reporting Accountant” (Statement 3.340) issued by the HKICPA. We have not audited any financial statements of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business in respect of any period subsequent to 31 March 2015.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT RAIL TRANSIT BUSINESS

CORRESPONDING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

For the purpose of this report, we have also reviewed the unaudited corresponding interim financial information of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business comprising the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in parent’s net investment and the cash flow statement for the three months ended 31 March 2014, together with the notes thereon (the “Corresponding Financial Information”), for which the directors of the Company are responsible, 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.

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the Corresponding Financial Information in accordance with the same basis adopted in respect of the Financial Information. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Corresponding Financial Information based on our review.

A review consists of making enquiries, 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 on the Corresponding Financial Information.

Based on our review, for the purpose of this report, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Corresponding Financial Information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the same basis adopted in respect of the Financial Information.

Prior to the first-time adoption of HKFRS, the financial information of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business included in this report was reflected in Tongfang’s consolidated results and was prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises or referred to as China Accounting Standards (“CAS”).

Since no financial statements of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business has previously been prepared, the Financial Information set out in this report do not include any HKFRS 1 first time adoption reconciliations.

The Financial Information has been prepared to reflect the cash flows, revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business. The Intelligent Rail Transit Business was conducted through, and assets and liabilities held in Tongfang, all of which were under control of Tongfang. Because the Intelligent Rail Transit Business was not historically a single legal entity and was commingled within Tongfang, parent’s net investment is shown in lieu of shareholders’ equity in the Financial Information. Parent’s net investment represents the cumulative interest of Tongfang in the Intelligent Rail Transit Business through that date. The impact of transactions between the Intelligent Rail Transit Business and Tongfang that were not historically settled in cash is also included in parent’s net investment.

During the Relevant Periods, the Intelligent Rail Transit Business functioned as part of Tongfang, and accordingly, a process has been completed to specifically identify assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows associated with the Intelligent Rail Transit Business in preparing the Financial Information. Assets, liabilities and costs that were related to the larger business of Tongfang were also assessed to allocate these items

– III-9 –

APPENDIX III

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT RAIL TRANSIT BUSINESS

between the Intelligent Rail Transit Business and other business of Tongfang. This allocation has been completed based on the following general process:

  • Corporate overhead functions performed for the Intelligent Rail Transit Business – These functions include, but are not limited to, executive oversight, legal, marketing, human resources, internal audit, and financial reporting. The costs of such services have been allocated to the Intelligent Rail Transit Business based on the most relevant allocation method to the service provided, primarily based on relative percentage of revenue. Management of Tongfang believes such allocations are reasonable; however, they may not be indicative of the actual expense that would have been incurred had the Intelligent Rail Transit Business been operating as a separate entity apart from Tongfang. The cost allocated for these functions is included in administrative expenses in the statements of comprehensive income for the Relevant Periods presented. A complete discussion of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business’s relationship with Tongfang, together with the cost allocations, is included in note 17.

The Company believes the basis of preparation described above results in the Financial Information reflecting the assets and liabilities associated with the Intelligent Rail Transit Business and reflecting costs associated with the functions that would be necessary to operate independently. However, as the Intelligent Rail Transit Business did not operate as a stand- alone entity during the Relevant Periods, the Financial Information may not be indicative of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business’s future performance and do not necessarily reflect what its results of operations, financial position, and cash flows would have been had the Intelligent Rail Transit Business operated as a separate entity apart from Tongfang during the Relevant Periods.

2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Statement of compliance

The Financial Information set out in this report has been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs, which collective term includes Hong Kong Accounting Standards and related interpretations issued by the HKICPA. Further details of the significant accounting policies adopted are set out in the remainder of this Section B.

The HKICPA has issued certain new and revised HKFRSs. For the purpose of preparing this Financial Information, the Intelligent Rail Transit Business has adopted all these new and revised HKFRSs to the Relevant Period, except for any new standards or interpretations that are not yet effective for the period beginning from 1 January 2015. The revised and new accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective for the period beginning from 1 January 2015 are set out in note 19.

The Financial Information also complies with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Listing Rules.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the Financial Information.

The Corresponding Financial Information for the three months ended 31 March 2014 has been prepared in accordance with the same basis and accounting policies adopted in respect of the Financial Information.

(b) Basis of measurement

The Financial Information is presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), rounded to the nearest thousand. It is prepared on the historical cost basis.

– III-10 –

APPENDIX III

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT RAIL TRANSIT BUSINESS

(c) Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of Financial Information in conformity with HKFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. 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 judgements 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.

Judgements made by management in the application of HKFRSs that have significant effect on the Financial Information and major sources of estimation uncertainty are discussed in note 18.

(d) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see note 2(g)(ii)).

The cost of self-constructed items of property, plant and equipment includes the cost of materials, direct labour, the initial estimate, where relevant, of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and an appropriate proportion of production overheads and borrowing costs.

Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item and are recognised in profit or loss on the date of retirement or disposal.

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost or valuation of items of property, plant and equipment, less their estimated residual value, if any, using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Computers and office equipment 5-10 years
Plant and machinery 5-10 years

Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost or valuation of the item is allocated on a reasonable basis between the parts and each part is depreciated separately. Both the useful life of an asset and its residual value, if any, are reviewed annually.

(e) Intangible assets (other than goodwill)

Expenditure on an internal research and development projects is distinguished between the expenditures during the research phase and expenditures during the development phase. Research activities involve original and planned investigation undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding. Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved materials, devices, products or processes before the start of commercial production or use.

– III-11 –

APPENDIX III

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT RAIL TRANSIT BUSINESS

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Expenditure on development activities is capitalised if the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Group has sufficient resources and the intention to complete development. The expenditure capitalised includes the costs of materials, direct labour, and an appropriate proportion of overheads and borrowing costs, where applicable. Capitalised development costs are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses (see note 2(g)(ii)). Other development expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Intelligent Rail Transit Business are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation (where the estimated useful life is finite) and impairment losses (see note 2(g)(ii)). Expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

Amortisation of intangible assets with finite useful lives is charged to profit or loss on a straight- line basis over the assets’ estimated useful lives. The following intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised from the date they are available for use and their estimated useful lives are as follows:

Non-patents technology

5 years

Both the period and method of amortisation are reviewed annually.

(f) Leased assets

An arrangement, comprising a transaction or a series of transactions, is or contains a lease if the Intelligent Rail Transit Business 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 Intelligent Rail Transit Business

Assets that are held by Intelligent Rail Transit Business under leases which transfer to the Intelligent Rail Transit Business 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 Intelligent Rail Transit Business are classified as operating leases.

(ii) Operating lease charges

Where the Intelligent Rail Transit Business has the use of assets held under operating leases, payments made under the leases are charged to profit or loss in equal instalments over the accounting periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased asset. Lease incentives received are recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the aggregate net lease payments made. Contingent rentals are charged to profit or loss in the accounting period in which they are incurred.

APPENDIX III

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT RAIL TRANSIT BUSINESS

(g) Impairment of assets

(i) Impairment of trade and other receivables

Receivables that are stated at cost or amortised cost are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. Objective evidence of impairment includes observable data that comes to the attention of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business 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.

If any such evidence exists, any impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition of these assets), where the effect of discounting is material. This assessment is made collectively where these financial assets share similar risk characteristics, such as similar past due status, and have not been individually assessed as impaired. Future cash flows for financial assets which are assessed for impairment collectively are based on historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to the collective group.

If in a subsequent period the amount of an impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be linked objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. A reversal of an impairment loss shall not result in the asset’s carrying amount exceeding that which would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years.

Impairment losses are written off against the corresponding assets directly, except for impairment losses recognised in respect of trade debtors and bills receivable included within trade and other receivables, whose recovery is considered doubtful but not remote. In this case, the impairment losses for doubtful debts are recorded using an allowance account. When the Intelligent Rail Transit Business is satisfied that recovery is remote, the amount considered irrecoverable is written off against trade debtors and bills receivable directly and any amounts held in the allowance account relating to that debt 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.

– III-13 –

APPENDIX III

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT RAIL TRANSIT BUSINESS

(ii) Impairment of other assets

Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to identify indications that the following assets may be impaired or, except in the case of goodwill, an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased:

  • Property, plant and equipment

  • Intangible assets

If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

Calculation of recoverable amount

The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its fair value less costs of disposal 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 assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows independently (i.e. a cash-generating unit).

  • Recognition of impairment losses

An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss if the carrying amount of an asset, or the cash-generating unit to which it belongs, exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit (or group of units) and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (or group of units) on a pro rata basis, except that the carrying value of an asset will not be reduced below its individual fair value less costs of disposal (if measurable) or value in use (if determinable).

Reversals of impairment losses

In respect of assets other than goodwill, an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.

A reversal of an 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.

(h) Inventories

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Cost is calculated using the weighted average cost formula and comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of Intelligent Rail Transit Business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

– III-14 –

APPENDIX III

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT RAIL TRANSIT BUSINESS

When inventories are sold or assigned to specific construction contracts, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories is recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.

(i)

Construction contracts

Construction contracts are contracts specifically negotiated with a customer for the construction of an asset or a group of assets, where the customer is able to specify the major structural elements of the design. The accounting policy for contract revenue is set out in note 2(o)(i). When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract costs are recognised as an expense by reference to the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately. When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Construction contracts in progress at the end of the reporting period are recorded at the net amount of costs incurred plus recognised profit less recognised losses and progress billings, and are presented in the statement of financial position as the “Gross amount due from customers for contract work” (as an asset) or the “Gross amount due to customers for contract work” (as a liability), as applicable. Progress billings not yet paid by the customer are included under “Trade debtors and bills receivable”. Amounts received before the related work is performed are included under “Trade and other payables”.

(j)

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts (see note 2(g)(i)), except where the receivables are interest-free loans made to related parties without any fixed repayment terms or the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, the receivables are stated at cost less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts.

(k) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value. Trade and other payables are subsequently stated at amortised cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

(l) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within three months of maturity at acquisition. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business’s cash management are also included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the cash flow statement.

(m) Employee benefits

Salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave, contributions to defined contribution retirement plans and the cost of non-monetary benefits are accrued in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees. Where payment or settlement is deferred and the effect would be material, these amounts are stated at their present values.

– III-15 –

APPENDIX III

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT RAIL TRANSIT BUSINESS

(n) Income tax

Income tax for the year comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the relevant amounts of tax are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from deductible and taxable temporary differences respectively, being the differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets also arise from unused tax losses and unused tax credits.

Apart from certain limited exceptions, all deferred tax liabilities, and all deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised, are recognised. Future taxable profits that may support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences include those that will arise from the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, provided those differences relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse either in the same period as the expected reversal of the deductible temporary difference or in periods into which a tax loss arising from the deferred tax asset can be carried back or forward. The same criteria are adopted when determining whether existing taxable temporary differences support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and credits, that is, those differences are taken into account if they relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse in a period, or periods, in which the tax loss or credit can be utilised.

The limited exceptions to recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities are those temporary differences arising from goodwill not deductible for tax purposes, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit (provided they are not part of a business combination), and temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that, in the case of taxable differences, the Intelligent Rail Transit Business controls the timing of the reversal and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future, or in the case of deductible differences, unless it is probable that they will reverse in the future.

The amount of deferred tax recognised is measured based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow the related tax benefit to be utilised. Any such reduction is reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.

Current tax balances and deferred tax balances, and movements therein, are presented separately from each other and are not offset. Current tax assets are offset against current tax liabilities, and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities, if the Intelligent Rail Transit Business has the legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the following additional conditions are met:

  • in the case of current tax assets and liabilities, the Intelligent Rail Transit Business intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously; or

– III-16 –

APPENDIX III

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT RAIL TRANSIT BUSINESS

  • in the case of deferred tax assets and liabilities, if they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:

  • the same taxable entity; or

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

(o) Revenue recognition

Revenue is reassured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Provided it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Intelligent Rail Transit Business and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably, revenue is recognised in profit or loss as follows:

(i) Contract revenue

When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably:

  • revenue from a fixed price contract is recognised using the percentage of completion method, measured by reference to the physically completed proportion of the contract work or the percentage of contract costs incurred to date to estimated total contract costs for the contract; and

  • revenue from a cost plus contract is recognised by reference to the recoverable costs incurred during the period plus an appropriate proportion of the total fee, measured by reference to the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to the estimated total costs of the contract.

When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable.

(ii) Sale of goods

Revenue is recognised when goods are delivered at the customers’ premises which is taken to be the point in time when the customer has accepted the goods and the related risks and rewards of ownership. Revenue excludes value added tax or other sales taxes and is after deduction of any trade discounts.

(iii) Service income

Service income is recognised when services are rendered to customers.

(iv) Interest income

Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method.

(p) Translation of foreign currencies

Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the end of the reporting period. Exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss, except those arising from foreign currency borrowings used to hedge a net investment in a foreign operation which are recognised in other comprehensive income.

– III-17 –

APPENDIX III

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT RAIL TRANSIT BUSINESS

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was measured.

The results of foreign operations are translated into RMB at the exchange rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Statement of financial position items are translated into RMB at the closing foreign exchange rates at the end of the reporting period. The resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated separately in equity in the exchange reserve.

(r) Segment reporting

Operating segments, and the amounts of each segment item reported in the financial statements, are identified from the financial information provided regularly to the Intelligent Rail Transit Business’ most senior executive management for the purposes of allocating resources to, and assessing the performance of, the Intelligent Rail Transit Business’s various lines of business and geographical locations.

Individually material operating segments are not aggregated for financial reporting purposes unless the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in respect of the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, the type or class of customers, the methods used to distribute the products or provide the services, and the nature of the regulatory environment. Operating segments which are not individually material may be aggregated if they share a majority of these criteria.

The Intelligent Rail Transit Business operates in a single business segment, namely supplying intelligence integral solutions for the main electro-mechanical systems including ISCS, PSD and BAS, no business segment analysis is presented.

In presenting geographic information, segment revenue is based on geographical location of customers at which the services were provided or the goods were delivered, which are entirely in the PRC. The Intelligent Rail Transit Business’ assets and liabilities are entirely situated in the PRC. Accordingly, no geographic information is presented.

(c) Impairment of trade and other receivables

Impairment losses in respect of trade and other receivables are recorded using an allowance account unless the Intelligent Rail Transit Business is satisfied that recovery of the amount is remote, in which case the impairment loss is written off against trade and other receivables directly (see note 2(g)).

The movement in the allowance for doubtful debts during the year, including both specific and collective loss components, is as follows:

(d) Trade and other receivables that are not impaired

Receivables that were neither past due nor impaired relate to customers for whom there was no recent history of default.

Receivables that were past due but not impaired relate to a number of independent customers that have a good track record with the Intelligent Rail Transit Business. Based on past experience, management believes that no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of these balances as there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the balances are still considered fully recoverable. The Intelligent Rail Transit Business does not hold any collateral over these balances.

15 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUES

Exposure to credit and liquidity risks arises in the normal course of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business. The Intelligent Rail Transit Business is not exposed to significant interest rate risk and currency risk as it has no interest-bearing financial instruments, and no transactions and balances are in foreign currency. The Intelligent Rail Transit Business’s exposure to these risks and the financial risk management policies and practices used by the Intelligent Rail Transit Business to manage these risks are described below.

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk arises because a counterparty may fail to perform its obligations. The Intelligent Rail Transit Business’s credit risk is primarily attributable to trade and other receivables. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. The Intelligent Rail Transit Business does not require collateral in respect of financial assets.

– III-28 –

APPENDIX III

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT RAIL TRANSIT BUSINESS

In respect of trade and other receivables, individual credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. These evaluations focus on the customer ‘s past history of making payments when due and current ability to pay, and may take into account information specific to the customer as well as pertaining to the economic environment in which the customer operates. The Intelligent Rail Transit Business requires certain customers to pay deposits upfront and the remaining trade receivables are due from the date of billing. Normally, the Intelligent Rail Transit Business does not obtain collateral from customers.

The Intelligent Rail Transit Business’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer rather than the industry in which the customers operate and therefore significant concentrations of credit risk primarily arise when the Intelligent Rail Transit Business has significant exposure to individual customers. As at 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014, and 31 March 2015, 79%, 58%, 88% and 5% of trade receivables was due from the Intelligent Rail Transit Business’s five largest customers, respectively.

(b)

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises when a company encounters difficulties to meet commitments associated with liabilities and other payment obligations. Such risk may result from inadequate market depth or disruption or refinancing problems. The Intelligent Rail Transit Business has to maintain a suitable level of liquidity to finance the daily operation, capital expenditure and repayment of borrowings. The Intelligent Rail Transit Business’s policy is to regularly monitor current and expected liquidity requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash and adequate committed lines of funding from major financial institutions to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.

The following table details the remaining contractual maturities at the end of the reporting period of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business’s financial liabilities, which are based on contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest payments computed using contractual rates or, if floating, based on rates current at the end of the reporting period) and the earliest date the Intelligent Rail Transit Business can be required to pay:

(c) Fair values

During the Relevant Periods, no financial instrument of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business was measured at fair value across the three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined in IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures.

In respect of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business’s trade and other receivables (inclusive of amounts due from related parties), and trade and other payables (inclusive of amounts due to related parties), the carrying amounts approximated fair values during the Relevant Periods due to the relatively short term nature of these financial assets or liabilities.

  • (i) Corporate overhead allocations from Tongfang – Tongfang currently performs certain corporate overhead functions for the Intelligent Rail Transit Business, and costs associated with these functions have been allocated to the Intelligent Rail Transit Business and reflected in the Financial Information. These functions include, but are not limited to, executive oversight, legal, marketing, human resources, internal audit, and financial reporting. The amounts allocated to the Intelligent Rail Transit Business are intended to represent the costs of providing these services, and management believes the allocation methods are reasonable. However, the actual cost of obtaining these individual services, if the Intelligent Rail Transit Business were a stand-alone company, could be materially different. The cost of the services provided by Tongfang was determined by allocating a portion of the overall Tongfang corporate costs to the Intelligent Rail Transit Business based upon the most relevant allocation method to the service provided, primarily based on relative percentage of revenue. Corporate overhead allocations from Tongfang are recorded in administrative expenses in the statements of comprehensive income.

18 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING THE INTELLIGENT RAIL TRANSIT BUSINESS’S ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The Intelligent Rail Transit Business believes the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant judgements and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

(i) Corporate allocations

The Financial Information includes allocations for certain expenses historically maintained by Tongfang, but not recorded in the accounts of the Intelligent Rail Transit

– III-31 –

APPENDIX III

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT RAIL TRANSIT BUSINESS

Business. Such items have been allocated to the Intelligent Rail Transit Business and included in the Financial Information based on the most relevant allocation method, primarily relative percentage of revenue or headcount. Management believes that this basis for allocation of expenses is reasonable.

(ii) Construction contracts

As explained in policy notes 2(i) and 2(o)(i), revenue and profit recognition on an uncompleted project is dependent on estimating the total outcome of the construction contract, as well as the work done to date. Based on the Intelligent Rail Transit Business’ recent experience and the nature of the construction activity undertaken by the Intelligent Rail Transit Business, the Intelligent Rail Transit Business makes estimates of the point at which it considers the work is sufficiently advanced such that the costs to complete and revenue can be reliably estimated. As a result, until this point is reached the amounts due from/to customers for contract work as disclosed in note 13 will not include profit which the Intelligent Rail Transit Business may eventually realise from the work done to date. In addition, actual outcomes in terms of total cost or revenue may be higher or lower than estimated at the end of the reporting period, which would affect the revenue and profit recognised in future years as an adjustment to the amounts recorded to date.

(iii) Development costs

Critical judgment by the Intelligent Rail Transit Business’ management is applied when deciding whether the recognition requirements for development costs have been met. This is necessary as the economic success of any product development is uncertain and may be subject to future technical problems at the time of recognition. Judgments are based on the best information available at the end of the reporting period. In addition, all internal activities related to the research and development of new products is continuously monitored by the Intelligent Rail Transit Business’ management.

(iv) Impairment of trade and other receivables

The management determines the impairment of trade and other receivables on a regular basis. This estimate is based on the credit history of its customers and current market conditions. If the financial conditions of the customers were to deteriorate, actual write-off would be higher than estimated. Management reassesses the impairment of trade and other receivables at the end of the reporting period.

(v) Amortization

Items of intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The management reviews the estimated useful lives of the assets regularly in order to determine the amount of amortization expense to be recorded during any reporting period. The useful lives are based on the Intelligent Building Business’s historical experience with similar assets and taking into account anticipated technological changes. The amortization expense for future periods is adjusted if there are significant changes from previous estimates.

19 POSSIBLE IMPACT OF AMENDMENTS, NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE

Up to the date of this report, the HKICPA has issued a number of amendments, new standards and interpretations which are not yet effective for the period beginning from 1 January 2015 and which have not been adopted in these financial statements. These included the following which may be relevant to the Intelligent Rail Transit Business’s operations and financial statements.

Effective for
accounting periods
beginning on or after
Amendments to HKFRS 11,
Accounting for acquisitions of interests in joint operations 1 January 2016
Amendments to HKAS 16 and HKAS 38,
Clarification of acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation 1 January 2016
HKFRS 15, Revenue from contracts with customers 1 January 2017
HKFRS 9, Financial instruments 1 January 2018

The Intelligent Rail Transit Business in the process of making an assessment of what the impact of these amendments, new standards and new interpretations is expected to be in the period of initial application. So far it has concluded that the adoption of them is unlikely to have a significant impact on the Intelligent Rail Transit Business’s results of operations and financial position.

C SUBSEQUENT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND DIVIDENDS

No audited financial statements have been prepared by the Intelligent Rail Transit Business in respect of any period subsequent to 31 March 2015. No dividend or distribution has been declared or made by the Intelligent Rail Transit Business in respect of any period subsequent to 31 March 2015.

The Board of Directors

Technovator International Limited

Dear Sirs,

INTRODUCTION

We set out below our report on the financial information relating to the Intelligent Building Business (as defined in note 1(a) of Section B) of Tsinghua Tongfang Co., Ltd. (“Tongfang”) comprising the statements of financial position of the Intelligent Building Business as at 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014 and 31 March 2015 and the statements of comprehensive income, the statements of changes in parent’s net investment and the cash flow statements of the Intelligent Building Business, for each of the years ended 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014 and the three months ended 31 March 2015 (the “Relevant Periods”), a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (the “Financial Information”), for inclusion in the circular issued by Technovator International Limited (the “Company”) dated 25 September 2015 (the “Circular”) in connection with the proposed acquisition of businesses in relation to providing intelligent integrated solutions which center around supervision and control systems in the fields of Intelligent Rail Transit, Intelligent Building and Intelligent Urban Heating Network and related assets by the Company (the “Proposed Acquisition”).

Tongfang was established on 25 June 1997 with limited liability in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) and its common stock is listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Tongfang prepares its consolidated financial statements comprising Tongfang and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Tongfang Group”) in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises or referred to as China Accounting Standards (“CAS”). During the Relevant Periods, the Intelligent Building Business did not operate in the form of standalone entities and was held and operated by Tongfang. As the Intelligent Building Business constitutes only part of the Tongfang Group, no financial statements for the Intelligent Building Business have previously been prepared or reported on a standalone basis.

– IV-1 –

APPENDIX IV

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT BUILDING BUSINESS

In connection with the Proposed Acquisition, the management of Tongfang has prepared the financial statements of the Intelligent Building Business for the Relevant Periods (the “Underlying Financial Statements”) on the same basis as used in the preparation of the Financial Information set out in section B below. The Underlying Financial Statements for the Relevant Periods were audited by KPMG Huazhen LLP (畢馬 威華振會計師事務所(特殊普通合夥)) in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the Hong Kong Institution of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”).

The Financial Information has been prepared by the directors of the Company for inclusion in the Circular in connection with the Proposed Acquisition based on the Underlying Financial Statements, with no adjustments made thereon and in accordance with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”).

DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the HKICPA and the applicable disclosure provisions of the Listing Rules, and for such internal control as the directors of the Company determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ RESPONSIBILITY

Our responsibility is to form an opinion on the Financial Information based on our procedures performed in accordance with Auditing Guideline “Prospectuses and the Reporting Accountant” (Statement 3.340) issued by the HKICPA. We have not audited any financial statements of the Intelligent Building Business in respect of any period subsequent to 31 March 2015.

OPINION

In our opinion, the Financial Information gives, for the purpose of this report and on the basis of preparation set out in note 1 of Section B below, a true and fair view of the financial position of the Intelligent Building Business as at 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014 and 31 March 2015 and of the Intelligent Building Business’s financial performance and cash flows for the Relevant Periods then ended.

CORRESPONDING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

For the purpose of this report, we have also reviewed the unaudited corresponding interim financial information of the Intelligent Building Business comprising the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in parent’s net investment and the cash flow statement for the three months ended 31 March 2014, together with the notes thereon (the “Corresponding Financial Information”), for which the directors of the

– IV-2 –

APPENDIX IV

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT BUILDING BUSINESS

Company are responsible, 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.

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the Corresponding Financial Information in accordance with the same basis adopted in respect of the Financial Information. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Corresponding Financial Information based on our review.

A review consists of making enquiries, 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 on the Corresponding Financial Information.

Based on our review, for the purpose of this report, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Corresponding Financial Information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the same basis adopted in respect of the Financial Information.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT BUILDING BUSINESS

B NOTES TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION

  • 1 DESCRIPTION OF THE INTELLIGENT BUILDING BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PREPARATION

Pursuant to an agreement dated 28 July 2015, given the need for strategic planning on the group business of Tsinghua Tongfang Co., Ltd. (“Tongfang”) and the business development of Technovator International Limited (the “Company”), the Company agrees Tongfang Technovator International (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (“Technovator Beijing”), one of its subsidiaries, to acquire from Tongfang its Intelligent Building Business. The Financial Information set out in this report has been prepared to present the historical operations of the Intelligent Building Business for the purpose of inclusion in the Circular.

(a) Nature of the Intelligent Building Business

The intelligent building business of Tongfang is the business which provide building intelligence integral solution, which center around the Building Automation (“BA”) that has been developed and debugged by Tongfang with the energy saving algorithm (“Intelligent Building Business”). The integral solution can achieve energy efficient, safe, convenient building environment with modern functions. The energy saving algorithm, exclusively developed by Tongfang based on the research of operation principles and energy saving strategy of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (“HVAC”) system, is an optimization algorithm for building electro-mechanical systems, including chiller and heating plant, air-conditioning, lighting, water supply and drainage, etc. This algorithm can effectively improve the BA functions and enhance building energy saving effect.

(b) Basis of Preparation

The Financial Information set out in this report has been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS”). HKFRS 1, First-Time Adoption of Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS 1”) has been applied in the adoption of HKFRS for the purpose of preparing the Underlying Financial Statements and the Financial Information. The transition date is 1 January 2012 (the “Transition Date”). The Intelligent Building Business has never prepared financial statements or financial information on the basis of preparation presented herein and on any other basis for itself. Prior to the first-time adoption of HKFRS, the financial information of the Intelligent Building Business included in this report was reflected in Tongfang’s consolidated results and was prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises or referred to as China Accounting Standards (“CAS”).

Since no financial statements of the Intelligent Building Business has previously been prepared, the Financial Information set out in this report do not include any HKFRS 1 first time adoption reconciliations.

The Financial Information has been prepared to reflect the cash flows, revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities of the Intelligent Building Business. The Intelligent Building Business was conducted through, and assets and liabilities held in Tongfang, all of which were under control of Tongfang. Because the Intelligent Building Business was not historically a single legal entity and was commingled within Tongfang, parent’s net investment is shown in lieu of shareholders’ equity in the Financial Information. Parent’s net investment represents the cumulative interest of Tongfang in the Intelligent Building Business through that date. The impact of transactions between the Intelligent Building Business and Tongfang that were not historically settled in cash is also included in parent’s net investment.

– IV-9 –

APPENDIX IV

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT BUILDING BUSINESS

During the Relevant Periods, the Intelligent Building Business functioned as part of Tongfang, and accordingly, a process has been completed to specifically identify assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows associated with the Intelligent Building Business in preparing the Financial Information. Assets, liabilities and costs that were related to the larger business of Tongfang were also assessed to allocate these items between the Intelligent Building Business and other business of Tongfang. This allocation has been completed based on the following general process:

  • Corporate overhead functions performed for the Intelligent Building Business – These functions include, but are not limited to, executive oversight, legal, marketing, human resources, internal audit, and financial reporting. The costs of such services have been allocated to the Intelligent Building Business based on the most relevant allocation method to the service provided, primarily based on relative percentage of revenue. Management of Tongfang believes such allocations are reasonable; however, they may not be indicative of the actual expense that would have been incurred had the Intelligent Building Business been operating as a separate entity apart from Tongfang. The cost allocated for these functions is included in administrative expenses in the statements of comprehensive income for the Relevant Periods presented. A complete discussion of the Intelligent Building Business’s relationship with Tongfang, together with the cost allocations, is included in note 17.

The Company believes the basis of preparation described above results in the Financial Information reflecting the assets and liabilities associated with the Intelligent Building Business and reflecting costs associated with the functions that would be necessary to operate independently. However, as the Intelligent Building Business did not operate as a stand-alone entity during the Relevant Periods, the Financial Information may not be indicative of the Intelligent Building Business’s future performance and do not necessarily reflect what its results of operations, financial position, and cash flows would have been had the Intelligent Building Business operated as a separate entity apart from Tongfang during the Relevant Periods.

2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Statement of compliance

The Financial Information set out in this report has been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs, which collective term includes Hong Kong Accounting Standards and related interpretations issued by the HKICPA. Further details of the significant accounting policies adopted are set out in the remainder of this Section B.

The HKICPA has issued certain new and revised HKFRSs. For the purpose of preparing this Financial Information, the Intelligent Building Business has adopted all these new and revised HKFRSs to the Relevant Period, except for any new standards or interpretations that are not yet effective for the period beginning from 1 January 2015. The revised and new accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective for the period beginning from 1 January 2015 are set out in note 19.

The Financial Information also complies with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Listing Rules.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the Financial Information.

The Corresponding Financial Information for the three months ended 31 March 2014 has been prepared in accordance with the same basis and accounting policies adopted in respect of the Financial Information.

(b) Basis of measurement

The Financial Information is presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), rounded to the nearest thousand. It is prepared on the historical cost basis.

– IV-10 –

APPENDIX IV

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT BUILDING BUSINESS

(c) Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of Financial Information in conformity with HKFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. 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 judgements 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.

Judgements made by management in the application of HKFRSs that have significant effect on the Financial Information and major sources of estimation uncertainty are discussed in note 18.

(d) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see note 2(g)(ii)).

The cost of self-constructed items of property, plant and equipment includes the cost of materials, direct labour, the initial estimate, where relevant, of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and an appropriate proportion of production overheads and borrowing costs.

Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item and are recognised in profit or loss on the date of retirement or disposal.

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost or valuation of items of property, plant and equipment, less their estimated residual value, if any, using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Furniture and fittings 5–10 years
Computers and office equipment 5–10 years
Plant and machinery 5–10 years

Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost or valuation of the item is allocated on a reasonable basis between the parts and each part is depreciated separately. Both the useful life of an asset and its residual value, if any, are reviewed annually.

(e) Intangible assets (other than goodwill)

Expenditure on an internal research and development projects is distinguished between the expenditures during the research phase and expenditures during the development phase. Research activities involve original and planned investigation undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding. Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved materials, devices, products or processes before the start of commercial production or use.

– IV-11 –

APPENDIX IV

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT BUILDING BUSINESS

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Expenditure on development activities is capitalised if the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Group has sufficient resources and the intention to complete development. The expenditure capitalised includes the costs of materials, direct labour, and an appropriate proportion of overheads and borrowing costs, where applicable. Capitalised development costs are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses (see note 2(g)(ii)). Other development expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Intelligent Building Business are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation (where the estimated useful life is finite) and impairment losses (see note 2(g)(ii)). Expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

Amortisation of intangible assets with finite useful lives is charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated useful lives. The following intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised from the date they are available for use and their estimated useful lives are as follows:

Non-patents technology

5 years

Both the period and method of amortisation are reviewed annually.

(f) Leased assets

An arrangement, comprising a transaction or a series of transactions, is or contains a lease if the Intelligent Building Business 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 Intelligent Building Business

Assets that are held by Intelligent Building Business under leases which transfer to the Intelligent Building Business 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 Intelligent Building Business are classified as operating leases.

(ii) Operating lease charges

Where the Intelligent Building Business has the use of assets held under operating leases, payments made under the leases are charged to profit or loss in equal instalments over the accounting periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased asset. Lease incentives received are recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the aggregate net lease payments made. Contingent rentals are charged to profit or loss in the accounting period in which they are incurred.

(g) Impairment of assets

(i) Impairment of trade and other receivables

Receivables that are stated at cost or amortised cost are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. Objective evidence of impairment includes observable data that comes to the attention of the Intelligent Building Business about one or more of the following loss events:

  • significant financial difficulty of the debtor;

– IV-12 –

APPENDIX IV

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT BUILDING BUSINESS

  • 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.

If any such evidence exists, any impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition of these assets), where the effect of discounting is material. This assessment is made collectively where these financial assets share similar risk characteristics, such as similar past due status, and have not been individually assessed as impaired. Future cash flows for financial assets which are assessed for impairment collectively are based on historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to the collective group.

If in a subsequent period the amount of an impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be linked objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. A reversal of an impairment loss shall not result in the asset’s carrying amount exceeding that which would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years.

Impairment losses are written off against the corresponding assets directly, except for impairment losses recognised in respect of trade debtors and bills receivable included within trade and other receivables, whose recovery is considered doubtful but not remote. In this case, the impairment losses for doubtful debts are recorded using an allowance account. When the Intelligent Building Business is satisfied that recovery is remote, the amount considered irrecoverable is written off against trade debtors and bills receivable directly and any amounts held in the allowance account relating to that debt 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.

(ii) Impairment of other assets

Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to identify indications that the following assets may be impaired or, except in the case of goodwill, an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased:

  • Property, plant and equipment

  • Intangible assets

If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

– IV-13 –

APPENDIX IV

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT BUILDING BUSINESS

Calculation of recoverable amount

The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its fair value less costs of disposal 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 assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows independently (i.e. a cash-generating unit).

Recognition of impairment losses

An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss if the carrying amount of an asset, or the cash-generating unit to which it belongs, exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit (or group of units) and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (or group of units) on a pro rata basis, except that the carrying value of an asset will not be reduced below its individual fair value less costs of disposal (if measurable) or value in use (if determinable).

Reversals of impairment losses

In respect of assets other than goodwill, an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.

A reversal of an 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.

(h) Inventories

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Cost is calculated using the weighted average cost formula and comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of Intelligent Building Business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

When inventories are sold or assigned to specific construction contracts, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories is recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.

(i) Construction contracts

Construction contracts are contracts specifically negotiated with a customer for the construction of an asset or a group of assets, where the customer is able to specify the major structural elements of the design. The accounting policy for contract revenue is set

– IV-14 –

APPENDIX IV

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT BUILDING BUSINESS

out in note 2(o)(i). When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract costs are recognised as an expense by reference to the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately. When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Construction contracts in progress at the end of the reporting period are recorded at the net amount of costs incurred plus recognised profit less recognised losses and progress billings, and are presented in the statement of financial position as the “Gross amount due from customers for contract work” (as an asset) or the “Gross amount due to customers for contract work” (as a liability), as applicable. Progress billings not yet paid by the customer are included under “Trade debtors and bills receivable”. Amounts received before the related work is performed are included under “Trade and other payables”.

(j) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts (see note 2(g)(i)), except where the receivables are interest-free loans made to related parties without any fixed repayment terms or the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, the receivables are stated at cost less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts.

(k) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value. Trade and other payables are subsequently stated at amortised cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

(l) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within three months of maturity at acquisition. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Intelligent Building Business’s cash management are also included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the cash flow statement.

(m) Employee benefits

Salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave, contributions to defined contribution retirement plans and the cost of non-monetary benefits are accrued in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees. Where payment or settlement is deferred and the effect would be material, these amounts are stated at their present values.

(n) Income tax

Income tax for the year comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the relevant amounts of tax are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

– IV-15 –

APPENDIX IV

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT BUILDING BUSINESS

Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from deductible and taxable temporary differences respectively, being the differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets also arise from unused tax losses and unused tax credits.

Apart from certain limited exceptions, all deferred tax liabilities, and all deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised, are recognised. Future taxable profits that may support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences include those that will arise from the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, provided those differences relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse either in the same period as the expected reversal of the deductible temporary difference or in periods into which a tax loss arising from the deferred tax asset can be carried back or forward. The same criteria are adopted when determining whether existing taxable temporary differences support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and credits, that is, those differences are taken into account if they relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse in a period, or periods, in which the tax loss or credit can be utilised.

The limited exceptions to recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities are those temporary differences arising from goodwill not deductible for tax purposes, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit (provided they are not part of a business combination), and temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that, in the case of taxable differences, the Intelligent Building Business controls the timing of the reversal and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future, or in the case of deductible differences, unless it is probable that they will reverse in the future.

The amount of deferred tax recognised is measured based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow the related tax benefit to be utilised. Any such reduction is reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.

Current tax balances and deferred tax balances, and movements therein, are presented separately from each other and are not offset. Current tax assets are offset against current tax liabilities, and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities, if the Intelligent Building Business has the legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the following additional conditions are met:

  • in the case of current tax assets and liabilities, the Intelligent Building Business intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously; or

  • in the case of deferred tax assets and liabilities, if they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:

  • the same taxable entity; or

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

– IV-16 –

APPENDIX IV

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT BUILDING BUSINESS

(o) Revenue recognition

Revenue is reassured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Provided it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Intelligent Building Business and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably, revenue is recognised in profit or loss as follows:

(i) Contract revenue

When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably:

  • revenue from a fixed price contract is recognised using the percentage of completion method, measured by reference to the physically completed proportion of the contract work or the percentage of contract costs incurred to date to estimated total contract costs for the contract; and

  • revenue from a cost plus contract is recognised by reference to the recoverable costs incurred during the period plus an appropriate proportion of the total fee, measured by reference to the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to the estimated total costs of the contract.

When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable.

(ii) Sale of goods

Revenue is recognised when goods are delivered at the customers’ premises which is taken to be the point in time when the customer has accepted the goods and the related risks and rewards of ownership. Revenue excludes value added tax or other sales taxes and is after deduction of any trade discounts.

(iii) Service income

Service income is recognised when services are rendered to customers.

(iv) Interest income

Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method.

(p) Translation of foreign currencies

Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the end of the reporting period. Exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss, except those arising from foreign currency borrowings used to hedge a net investment in a foreign operation which are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was measured.

The results of foreign operations are translated into RMB at the exchange rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Statement of financial position items are translated into RMB at the closing foreign

– IV-17 –

(r) Segment reporting

Operating segments, and the amounts of each segment item reported in the financial statements, are identified from the financial information provided regularly to the Intelligent Building Business’s most senior executive management for the purposes of allocating resources to, and assessing the performance of, the Intelligent Building Business’s various lines of business and geographical locations.

Individually material operating segments are not aggregated for financial reporting purposes unless the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in respect of the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, the type or class of customers, the methods used to distribute the products or provide the services, and the nature of the regulatory environment. Operating segments which are not individually material may be aggregated if they share a majority of these criteria.

(c) Impairment of trade and other receivables

Impairment losses in respect of trade and other receivables are recorded using an allowance account unless the Intelligent Building Business is satisfied that recovery of the amount is remote, in which case the impairment loss is written off against trade and other receivables directly (see note 2(g)).

The movement in the allowance for doubtful debts during the year, including both specific and collective loss components, is as follows:

(d) Trade and other receivables that are not impaired

Receivables that were neither past due nor impaired relate to customers for whom there was no recent history of default.

Receivables that were past due but not impaired relate to a number of independent customers that have a good track record with the Intelligent Building Business. Based on past experience, management believes that no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of these balances as there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the balances are still considered fully recoverable. The Intelligent Building Business does not hold any collateral over these balances.

15 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUES

Exposure to credit and liquidity risks arises in the normal course of the Intelligent Building Business’s business. The Intelligent Building Business is not exposed to significant interest rate risk and currency risk as it has no interest-bearing financial instruments, and no transactions and balances are in foreign currency. The Intelligent Building Business’s exposure to these risks and the financial risk management policies and practices used by the Intelligent Building Business to manage these risks are described below.

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk arises because a counterparty may fail to perform its obligations. The Intelligent Building Business’s credit risk is primarily attributable to trade and other receivables. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. The Intelligent Building Business does not require collateral in respect of financial assets.

– IV-27 –

APPENDIX IV

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT BUILDING BUSINESS

In respect of trade and other receivables, individual credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. These evaluations focus on the customer’s past history of making payments when due and current ability to pay, and may take into account information specific to the customer as well as pertaining to the economic environment in which the customer operates. The Intelligent Building Business requires certain customers to pay deposits upfront and the remaining trade receivables are due from the date of billing. Normally, the Intelligent Building Business does not obtain collateral from customers.

The Intelligent Building Business’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer rather than the industry in which the customers operate and therefore significant concentrations of credit risk primarily arise when the Intelligent Building Business has significant exposure to individual customers. As at 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014, and 31 March 2015, 25%, 46%, 27% and 29% of trade receivables was due from the Intelligent Building Business’s five largest customers, respectively.

(b)

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises when a company encounters difficulties to meet commitments associated with liabilities and other payment obligations. Such risk may result from inadequate market depth or disruption or refinancing problems. The Intelligent Building Business has to maintain a suitable level of liquidity to finance the daily operation, capital expenditure and repayment of borrowings. The Intelligent Building Business’s policy is to regularly monitor current and expected liquidity requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash and adequate committed lines of funding from major financial institutions to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.

The following table details the remaining contractual maturities at the end of the reporting period of the Intelligent Building Business’s financial liabilities, which are based on contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest payments computed using contractual rates or, if floating, based on rates current at the end of the reporting period) and the earliest date the Intelligent Building Business can be required to pay:

(c) Fair values

During the Relevant Periods, no financial instrument of the Intelligent Building Business was measured at fair value across the three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined in IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures.

In respect of the Intelligent Building Business’s trade and other receivables (inclusive of amounts due from related parties), and trade and other payables (inclusive of amounts due to related parties), the carrying amounts approximated fair values during the Relevant Periods due to the relatively short term nature of these financial assets or liabilities.

16 OPERATING LEASE COMMITMENTS

Commitments in respect of properties under operating leases as at the end of the reporting period, not provided for in the financial statements were as follows:

  • (i) Corporate overhead allocations from Tongfang – Tongfang currently performs certain corporate overhead functions for the Intelligent Building Business, and costs associated with these functions have been allocated to the Intelligent Building Business and reflected in the Financial Information. These functions include, but are not limited to, executive oversight, legal, marketing, human resources, internal audit, and financial reporting. The amounts allocated to the Intelligent Building Business are intended to represent the costs of providing these services, and management believes the allocation methods are reasonable. However, the actual cost of obtaining these individual services, if the Intelligent Building Business were a stand-alone company, could be materially different. The cost of the services provided by Tongfang was determined by allocating a portion of the overall Tongfang corporate costs to the Intelligent Building Business based upon the most relevant allocation method to the service provided, primarily based on relative percentage of revenue. Corporate overhead allocations from Tongfang are recorded in administrative expenses in the statements of comprehensive income.

18 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING THE INTELLIGENT BUILDING BUSINESS’S ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The Intelligent Building Business believes the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant judgements and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

(i) Corporate allocations

The Financial Information includes allocations for certain expenses historically maintained by Tongfang, but not recorded in the accounts of the Intelligent Building Business. Such items have been allocated to the Intelligent Building Business and included in the Financial Information based on the most relevant allocation method,

– IV-30 –

APPENDIX IV

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT BUILDING BUSINESS

primarily relative percentage of revenue or headcount. Management believes that this basis for allocation of expenses is reasonable.

(ii) Construction contracts

As explained in policy notes 2(i) and 2(o) (i), revenue and profit recognition on an uncompleted project is dependent on estimating the total outcome of the construction contract, as well as the work done to date. Based on the Intelligent Building Business’s recent experience and the nature of the construction activity undertaken by the Intelligent Building Business, the Intelligent Building Business makes estimates of the point at which it considers the work is sufficiently advanced such that the costs to complete and revenue can be reliably estimated. As a result, until this point is reached the amounts due from/to customers for contract work as disclosed in note 13 will not include profit which the Intelligent Building Business may eventually realise from the work done to date. In addition, actual outcomes in terms of total cost or revenue may be higher or lower than estimated at the end of the reporting period, which would affect the revenue and profit recognised in future years as an adjustment to the amounts recorded to date.

(iii) Development costs

Critical judgment by the Intelligent Building Business’s management is applied when deciding whether the recognition requirements for development costs have been met. This is necessary as the economic success of any product development is uncertain and may be subject to future technical problems at the time of recognition. Judgments are based on the best information available at the end of the reporting period. In addition, all internal activities related to the research and development of new products is continuously monitored by the Intelligent Building Business’s management.

(iv) Impairment of trade and other receivables

The management determines the impairment of trade and other receivables on a regular basis. This estimate is based on the credit history of its customers and current market conditions. If the financial conditions of the customers were to deteriorate, actual write-off would be higher than estimated. Management reassesses the impairment of trade and other receivables at the end of the reporting period.

(v) Amortization

Items of intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The management reviews the estimated useful lives of the assets regularly in order to determine the amount of amortization expense to be recorded during any reporting period. The useful lives are based on the Intelligent Building Business’s historical experience with similar assets and taking into account anticipated technological changes. The amortization expense for future periods is adjusted if there are significant changes from previous estimates.

The Board of Directors Technovator International Limited

Dear Sirs,

INTRODUCTION

We set out below our report on the financial information relating to the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business (as defined in note 1(a) of Section B) of Tsinghua Tongfang Co., Ltd. (“Tongfang”) comprising the statements of financial position of the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business as at 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014 and 31 March 2015 and the statements of comprehensive income, the statements of changes in parent’s net investment and the cash flow statements of the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business, for each of the years ended 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014 and the three months ended 31 March 2015 (the “Relevant Periods”), and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (the “Financial Information”), for inclusion in the circular issued by Technovator International Limited (the “Company”) dated 25 September 2015 (the “Circular”) in connection with the proposed acquisition of businesses in relation to providing intelligent integrated solutions which center around supervision and control systems in the fields of Intelligent Rail Transit, Intelligent Building and Intelligent Urban Heating Network and related assets by the Company (the “Proposed Acquisition”).

Tongfang was established on 25 June 1997 with limited liability in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) and its common stock is listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Tongfang prepares its consolidated financial statements comprising Tongfang and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Tongfang Group”) in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises or referred to as China Accounting Standards (“CAS”). During the Relevant Periods, the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business did not operate in the form of standalone entities and was held and operated by Tongfang. As the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business constitutes only part of the Tongfang Group, no financial statements for the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business have previously been prepared or reported on a standalone basis.

– V-1 –

APPENDIX V FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT URBAN HEATING NETWORK BUSINESS

In connection with the Proposed Acquisition, the management of Tongfang has prepared the financial statements of the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business for the Relevant Periods (the “Underlying Financial Statements”) on the same basis as used in the preparation of the Financial Information set out in section B below. The Underlying Financial Statements for the Relevant Periods were audited by KPMG Huazhen LLP (畢馬 威華振會計師事務所(特殊普通合夥)) in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the Hong Kong Institution of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”).

The Financial Information has been prepared by the directors of the Company for inclusion in the Circular in connection with the Proposed Acquisition based on the Underlying Financial Statements, with no adjustments made thereon and in accordance with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”).

DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the HKICPA and the applicable disclosure provisions of the Listing Rules, and for such internal control as the directors of the Company determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ RESPONSIBILITY

Our responsibility is to form an opinion on the Financial Information based on our procedures performed in accordance with Auditing Guideline “Prospectuses and the Reporting Accountant” (Statement 3.340) issued by the HKICPA. We have not audited any financial statements of the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business in respect of any period subsequent to 31 March 2015.

OPINION

In our opinion, the Financial Information gives, for the purpose of this report, on the basis of preparation set out in note 1 of Section B below, a true and fair view of the financial position of the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business as at 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014 and 31 March 2015 and of the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business’s financial performance and cash flows for the Relevant Periods then ended.

CORRESPONDING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

For the purpose of this report, we have also reviewed the unaudited corresponding interim financial information of the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business comprising the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in parent’s net investment and the cash flow statement for the three months ended 31 March 2014, together with the notes thereon (the “Corresponding Financial Information”), for which the directors of the Company are responsible, 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.

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the Corresponding Financial Information in accordance with the same basis adopted in respect of the Financial Information. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Corresponding Financial Information based on our review.

A review consists of making enquiries, 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 on the Corresponding Financial Information.

Based on our review, for the purpose of this report, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Corresponding Financial Information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the same basis adopted in respect of the Financial Information.

APPENDIX V FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT URBAN HEATING NETWORK BUSINESS

B NOTES TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1 DESCRIPTION OF THE INTELLIGENT URBAN HEATING NETWORK BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PREPARATION

Pursuant to an agreement dated 28 July 2015, given the need for strategic planning on the group business of Tsinghua Tongfang Co., Ltd. (“Tongfang”) and the business development of Technovator International Limited (the “Company”), the Company agrees Tongfang Energy Saving Engineering Technology Co., Ltd. (“Tongfang Energy Saving”), one of its subsidiaries, to acquire from Tongfang its Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business. The Financial Information set out in this report has been prepared to present the historical operations of the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business for the purpose of inclusion in the Circular.

(a) Nature of the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business

The intelligent urban heating network business of Tongfang is the business which provide integrated solutions for heating plant and network including Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (”SCADA”)(“Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business”). The integral solutions can effectively reduce the energy consumption of urban heating system on the premise of heating quality assurance.

(b) Basis of Preparation

The Financial Information set out in this report has been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS”). HKFRS 1, First-Time Adoption of Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS 1”) has been applied in the adoption of HKFRS for the purpose of preparing the Underlying Financial Statements and the Financial Information. The transition date is 1 January 2012 (the “Transition Date”). The Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business has never prepared financial statements or financial information on the basis of preparation presented herein and on any other basis for itself. Prior to the first-time adoption of HKFRS, the financial information of the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business included in this report was reflected in Tongfang’s consolidated results and was prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises or referred to as China Accounting Standards (“CAS”).

Since no financial statements of the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business has previously been prepared, the Financial Information set out in this report do not include any HKFRS 1 first time adoption reconciliations.

The Financial Information has been prepared to reflect the cash flows, revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities of the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business. The Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business was conducted through, and assets and liabilities held in Tongfang, all of which were under control of Tongfang. Because the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business was not historically a single legal entity and was commingled within Tongfang, parent’s net investment is shown in lieu of shareholders’ equity in the Financial Information. Parent’s net investment represents the cumulative interest of Tongfang in the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business through that date. The impact of transactions between the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business and Tongfang that were not historically settled in cash is also included in parent’s net investment.

During the Relevant Periods, the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business functioned as part of Tongfang, and accordingly, a process has been completed to specifically identify assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows associated with the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business in preparing the Financial Information. Assets, liabilities and costs that were related to the larger business of Tongfang were also assessed to allocate

– V-9 –

APPENDIX V

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT URBAN HEATING NETWORK BUSINESS

these items between the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business and other business of Tongfang. This allocation has been completed based on the following general process:

  • Corporate overhead functions performed for the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business – These functions include, but are not limited to, executive oversight, legal, marketing, human resources, internal audit, and financial reporting. The costs of such services have been allocated to the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business based on the most relevant allocation method to the service provided, primarily based on relative percentage of revenue. Management of Tongfang believes such allocations are reasonable; however, they may not be indicative of the actual expense that would have been incurred had the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business been operating as a separate entity apart from Tongfang. The cost allocated for these functions is included in administrative expenses in the statements of comprehensive income for the Relevant Periods presented. A complete discussion of the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business’s relationship with Tongfang, together with the cost allocations, is included in note 17.

The Company believes the basis of preparation described above results in the Financial Information reflecting the assets and liabilities associated with the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business and reflecting costs associated with the functions that would be necessary to operate independently. However, as the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business did not operate as a stand-alone entity during the Relevant Periods, the Financial Information may not be indicative of the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business’s future performance and do not necessarily reflect what its results of operations, financial position, and cash flows would have been had the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business operated as a separate entity apart from Tongfang during the Relevant Periods.

2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Statement of compliance

The Financial Information set out in this report has been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs, which collective term includes Hong Kong Accounting Standards and related interpretations issued by the HKICPA. Further details of the significant accounting policies adopted are set out in the remainder of this Section B.

The HKICPA has issued certain new and revised HKFRSs. For the purpose of preparing this Financial Information, the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business has adopted all these new and revised HKFRSs to the Relevant Period, except for any new standards or interpretations that are not yet effective for the period beginning from 1 January 2015. The revised and new accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective for the period beginning from 1 January 2015 are set out in note 19.

The Financial Information also complies with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Listing Rules.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the Financial Information.

The Corresponding Financial Information for the three months ended 31 March 2014 has been prepared in accordance with the same basis and accounting policies adopted in respect of the Financial Information.

(b) Basis of measurement

The Financial Information is presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), rounded to the nearest thousand. It is prepared on the historical cost basis.

– V-10 –

APPENDIX V FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT URBAN HEATING NETWORK BUSINESS

(c) Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of Financial Information in conformity with HKFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. 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 judgements 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.

Judgements made by management in the application of HKFRSs that have significant effect on the Financial Information and major sources of estimation uncertainty are discussed in note 18.

(d) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see note 2(g)(ii)).

The cost of self-constructed items of property, plant and equipment includes the cost of materials, direct labour, the initial estimate, where relevant, of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and an appropriate proportion of production overheads and borrowing costs.

Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item and are recognised in profit or loss on the date of retirement or disposal.

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost or valuation of items of property, plant and equipment, less their estimated residual value, if any, using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Furniture and fittings 5-10 years Computers and office equipment 5-10 years

Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost or valuation of the item is allocated on a reasonable basis between the parts and each part is depreciated separately. Both the useful life of an asset and its residual value, if any, are reviewed annually.

(e) Intangible assets (other than goodwill)

Expenditure on an internal research and development projects is distinguished between the expenditures during the research phase and expenditures during the development phase. Research activities involve original and planned investigation undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding. Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved materials, devices, products or processes before the start of commercial production or use.

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Expenditure on development activities is capitalised if the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Group has sufficient resources and the

– V-11 –

APPENDIX V

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT URBAN HEATING NETWORK BUSINESS

intention to complete development. The expenditure capitalised includes the costs of materials, direct labour, and an appropriate proportion of overheads and borrowing costs, where applicable. Capitalised development costs are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses (see note 2(g)(ii)). Other development expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation (where the estimated useful life is finite) and impairment losses (see note 2(g)(ii)). Expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is inc urred.

Amortisation of intangible assets with finite useful lives is charged to profit or loss on a straight- line basis over the assets’ estimated useful lives. The following intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised from the date they are available for use and their estimated useful lives are as follows:

Non-patents technology

5 years

Both the period and method of amortisation are reviewed annually.

(f) Leased assets

An arrangement, comprising a transaction or a series of transactions, is or contains a lease if the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business 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 Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business

Assets that are held by Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business under leases which transfer to the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business 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 Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business are classified as operating leases.

(ii) Operating lease charges

Where the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business has the use of assets held under operating leases, payments made under the leases are charged to profit or loss in equal instalments over the accounting periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased asset. Lease incentives received are recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the aggregate net lease payments made. Contingent rentals are charged to profit or loss in the accounting period in which they are incurred.

(g) Impairment of assets

(i) Impairment of trade and other receivables

Receivables that are stated at cost or amortised cost are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. Objective evidence of impairment includes observable data that comes to the attention of the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business about one or more of the following loss events:

  • significant financial difficulty of the debtor;

– V-12 –

APPENDIX V

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT URBAN HEATING NETWORK BUSINESS

  • 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.

If any such evidence exists, any impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition of these assets), where the effect of discounting is material. This assessment is made collectively where these financial assets share similar risk characteristics, such as similar past due status, and have not been individually assessed as impaired. Future cash flows for financial assets which are assessed for impairment collectively are based on historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to the collective group.

If in a subsequent period the amount of an impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be linked objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. A reversal of an impairment loss shall not result in the asset’s carrying amount exceeding that which would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years.

Impairment losses are written off against the corresponding assets directly, except for impairment losses recognised in respect of trade debtors and bills receivable included within trade and other receivables, whose recovery is considered doubtful but not remote. In this case, the impairment losses for doubtful debts are recorded using an allowance account. When the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business is satisfied that recovery is remote, the amount considered irrecoverable is written off against trade debtors and bills receivable directly and any amounts held in the allowance account relating to that debt 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.

(ii)

Impairment of other assets

Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to identify indications that the following assets may be impaired or, except in the case of goodwill, an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased:

  • Property, plant and equipment

  • Intangible assets

If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

– V-13 –

APPENDIX V

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT URBAN HEATING NETWORK BUSINESS

Calculation of recoverable amount

The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its fair value less costs of disposal 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 assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows independently (i.e. a cash-generating unit).

Recognition of impairment losses

An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss if the carrying amount of an asset, or the cash-generating unit to which it belongs, exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit (or group of units) and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (or group of units) on a pro rata basis, except that the carrying value of an asset will not be reduced below its individual fair value less costs of disposal (if measurable) or value in use (if determinable).

Reversals of impairment losses

In respect of assets other than goodwill, an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.

A reversal of an 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.

(h) Inventories

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Cost is calculated using the weighted average cost formula and comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

When inventories are sold or assigned to specific construction contracts, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories is recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.

(i) Construction contracts

Construction contracts are contracts specifically negotiated with a customer for the construction of an asset or a group of assets, where the customer is able to specify the major structural elements of the design. The accounting policy for contract revenue is set

– V-14 –

APPENDIX V FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT URBAN HEATING NETWORK BUSINESS

out in note 2(o)(i). When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract costs are recognised as an expense by reference to the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately. When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Construction contracts in progress at the end of the reporting period are recorded at the net amount of costs incurred plus recognised profit less recognised losses and progress billings, and are presented in the statement of financial position as the “Gross amount due from customers for contract work” (as an asset) or the “Gross amount due to customers for contract work” (as a liability), as applicable. Progress billings not yet paid by the customer are included under “Trade debtors and bills receivable”. Amounts received before the related work is performed are included under “Trade and other payables”.

(j)

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts (see note 2(g)(i)), except where the receivables are interest-free loans made to related parties without any fixed repayment terms or the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, the receivables are stated at cost less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts.

(k) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value. Trade and other payables are subsequently stated at amortised cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

(l) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within three months of maturity at acquisition. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business’s cash management are also included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the cash flow statement.

(m) Employee benefits

Salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave, contributions to defined contribution retirement plans and the cost of non-monetary benefits are accrued in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees. Where payment or settlement is deferred and the effect would be material, these amounts are stated at their present values.

(n) Income tax

Income tax for the year comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the relevant amounts of tax are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

– V-15 –

APPENDIX V

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT URBAN HEATING NETWORK BUSINESS

Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from deductible and taxable temporary differences respectively, being the differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets also arise from unused tax losses and unused tax credits.

Apart from certain limited exceptions, all deferred tax liabilities, and all deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised, are recognised. Future taxable profits that may support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences include those that will arise from the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, provided those differences relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse either in the same period as the expected reversal of the deductible temporary difference or in periods into which a tax loss arising from the deferred tax asset can be carried back or forward. The same criteria are adopted when determining whether existing taxable temporary differences support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and credits, that is, those differences are taken into account if they relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse in a period, or periods, in which the tax loss or credit can be utilised.

The limited exceptions to recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities are those temporary differences arising from goodwill not deductible for tax purposes, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit (provided they are not part of a business combination), and temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that, in the case of taxable differences, the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business controls the timing of the reversal and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future, or in the case of deductible differences, unless it is probable that they will reverse in the future.

The amount of deferred tax recognised is measured based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow the related tax benefit to be utilised. Any such reduction is reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.

Current tax balances and deferred tax balances, and movements therein, are presented separately from each other and are not offset. Current tax assets are offset against current tax liabilities, and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities, if the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business has the legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the following additional conditions are met:

  • in the case of current tax assets and liabilities, the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously; or

  • in the case of deferred tax assets and liabilities, if they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:

  • the same taxable entity; or

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

APPENDIX V FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT URBAN HEATING NETWORK BUSINESS

(o) Revenue recognition

Revenue is reassured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Provided it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably, revenue is recognised in profit or loss as follows:

(i) Contract revenue

When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably:

  • revenue from a fixed price contract is recognised using the percentage of completion method, measured by reference to the physically completed proportion of the contract work or the percentage of contract costs incurred to date to estimated total contract costs for the contract; and

  • revenue from a cost plus contract is recognised by reference to the recoverable costs incurred during the period plus an appropriate proportion of the total fee, measured by reference to the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to the estimated total costs of the contract.

When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable.

(ii) Sale of goods

Revenue is recognised when goods are delivered at the customers’ premises which is taken to be the point in time when the customer has accepted the goods and the related risks and rewards of ownership. Revenue excludes value added tax or other sales taxes and is after deduction of any trade discounts.

(iii) Service income

Service income is recognised when services are rendered to customers.

(iv) Interest income

Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method.

(p) Translation of foreign currencies

Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the end of the reporting period. Exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss, except those arising from foreign currency borrowings used to hedge a net investment in a foreign operation which are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Non- monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was measured.

The results of foreign operations are translated into RMB at the exchange rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Statement of financial position items are translated into RMB at the closing foreign

(d) Impairment of trade and other receivables

Impairment losses in respect of trade and other receivables are recorded using an allowance account unless the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business is satisfied that recovery of the amount is remote, in which case the impairment loss is written off against trade and other receivables directly (see note 2(g)).

The movement in the allowance for doubtful debts during the year, including both specific and collective loss components, is as follows:

(e) Trade and other receivables that are not impaired

Receivables that were neither past due nor impaired relate to customers for whom there was no recent history of default.

Receivables that were past due but not impaired relate to a number of independent customers that have a good track record with the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business. Based on past experience, management believes that no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of these balances as there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the balances are still considered fully recoverable. The Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business does not hold any collateral over these balances.

15 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUES

Exposure to credit and liquidity risks arises in the normal course of the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business. The Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business is not exposed to significant interest rate risk and currency risk as it has no interest-bearing financial instruments, and no transactions and balances are in foreign currency. The Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business’s exposure to these risks and the financial risk management policies and practices used by the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business to manage these risks are described below.

(a) Credit risk

The Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business’s credit risk is primarily attributable to trade and other receivables. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. The Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business does not require collateral in respect of financial assets.

– V-27 –

APPENDIX V

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT URBAN HEATING NETWORK BUSINESS

In respect of trade and other receivables, individual credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. These evaluations focus on the customer’s past history of making payments when due and current ability to pay, and may take into account information specific to the customer as well as pertaining to the economic environment in which the customer operates. The Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business requires certain customers to pay deposits upfront and the remaining trade receivables are due from the date of billing. Normally, the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business does not obtain collateral from customers.

The Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer rather than the industry in which the customers operate and therefore significant concentrations of credit risk primarily arise when the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business has significant exposure to individual customers. As at 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014, and 31 March 2015, 42%, 51%, 11% and 24% of trade receivables was due from the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business’s five largest customers, respectively.

(b)

Liquidity risk

The Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business has to maintain a suitable level of liquidity to finance the daily operation, capital expenditure and repayment of borrowings. The Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business’s policy is to regularly monitor current and expected liquidity requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash and adequate committed lines of funding from major financial institutions to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.

The following table details the remaining contractual maturities at the end of the reporting period of the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business’s financial liabilities, which are based on contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest payments computed using contractual rates or, if floating, based on rates current at the end of the reporting period) and the earliest date the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business can be required to pay:

(c) Fair values

– V-28 –

APPENDIX V FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT URBAN HEATING NETWORK BUSINESS

In respect of the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business’s trade and other receivables (inclusive of amounts due from related parties), and trade and other payables (inclusive of amounts due to related parties), the carrying amounts approximated fair values during the Relevant Periods due to the relatively short term nature of these financial assets or liabilities.

These functions include, but are not limited to, executive oversight, legal, marketing, human resources, internal audit, and financial reporting. The amounts allocated to the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business are intended to represent the costs of providing these services, and management believes the allocation methods are reasonable. However, the actual cost of obtaining these individual services, if the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business were a stand-alone company, could be materially different. The cost of the services provided by Tongfang was determined by allocating a portion of the overall Tongfang corporate costs to the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business based upon the most relevant allocation method to the service provided, primarily based on relative percentage of revenue. Corporate overhead allocations from Tongfang are recorded in administrative expenses in the statements of comprehensive income.

  • 18 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING THE INTELLIGENT URBAN HEATING NETWORK BUSINESS’S ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business believes the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant judgements and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

– V-30 –

APPENDIX V FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE INTELLIGENT URBAN HEATING NETWORK BUSINESS

(i) Corporate allocations

The Financial Information includes allocations for certain expenses historically maintained by Tongfang, but not recorded in the accounts of the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business. Such items have been allocated to the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business and included in the Financial Information based on the most relevant allocation method, primarily relative percentage of revenue or headcount. Management believes that this basis for allocation of expenses is reasonable.

(ii) Construction contracts

As explained in policy notes 2(i) and 2(o)(i), revenue and profit recognition on an uncompleted project is dependent on estimating the total outcome of the construction contract, as well as the work done to date. Based on the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business’s recent experience and the nature of the construction activity undertaken by the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business, the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business makes estimates of the point at which it considers the work is sufficiently advanced such that the costs to complete and revenue can be reliably estimated. As a result, until this point is reached the amounts due from/to customers for contract work as disclosed in note 13 will not include profit which the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business may eventually realise from the work done to date. In addition, actual outcomes in terms of total cost or revenue may be higher or lower than estimated at the end of the reporting period, which would affect the revenue and profit recognised in future years as an adjustment to the amounts recorded to date.

(iii) Development costs

Critical judgment by the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business’s management is applied when deciding whether the recognition requirements for development costs have been met. This is necessary as the economic success of any product development is uncertain and may be subject to future technical problems at the time of recognition. Judgments are based on the best information available at the end of the reporting period. In addition, all internal activities related to the research and development of new products is continuously monitored by the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business’s management.

(iv) Impairment of trade and other receivables

The management determines the impairment of trade and other receivables on a regular basis. This estimate is based on the credit history of its customers and current market conditions. If the financial conditions of the customers were to deteriorate, actual write-off would be higher than estimated. Management reassesses the impairment of trade and other receivables at the end of the reporting period.

(v) Amortization

Items of intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The management reviews the estimated useful lives of the assets regularly in order to determine the amount of amortization expense to be recorded during any reporting period. The useful lives are based on the Intelligent Building Business’s historical experience with similar assets and taking into account anticipated technological changes. The amortization expense for future periods is adjusted if there are significant changes from previous estimates.

APPENDIX VI

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE TARGET BUSINESSES

Set out below is the management discussion and analysis on the financials of the Target Businesses based on the financial information of the Target Businesses as set out in Appendices III, IV and V to this circular for the years ended 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014, and the three months ended 31 March 2015 (the “ Relevant Periods ”).

OVERVIEW

The Intelligent Rail Transit Business

The Intelligent Rail Transit Business supplies intelligence integral solutions for the main electro-mechanical systems including ISCS, PSD and BAS. During the Relevant Periods, the Intelligent Rail Transit Business did not operate in the form of standalone entities and was held and operated by THTF.

During the Relevant Periods, the revenue and net profit of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business generally followed a rising trend, which was attributable to the organic growth of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business.

The Intelligent Building Business

The Intelligent Building Business provides building intelligence integrated solutions which center around the BA that has been developed and debugged by THTF with the energy saving algorithm. During the Relevant Periods, the Intelligent Building Business did not operate in the form of standalone entities and was held and operated by THTF.

The revenue of the Intelligence Building Business generally increased during the Relevant Periods, primarily due to the growth in the business. It recorded net losses during the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2013 primarily due to the relatively large amortization expense in connection with its intangible assets at the early stage of the business, and recorded a net profit for the year ended 31 December 2014 primarily due to the decrease in such amortization expenses and further growth in the business. The intangible assets recognized by the Intelligent Building Business, as well as that of the other Target Businesses, represent capitalised development costs for non-patents technology that are technically and commercially feasible for the use of the Target Businesses. Intangible assets put into use are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

The Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business

The Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business supplies integral solutions for heating plant and network including SCADA for them. During the Relevant Periods, the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business did not operate in the form of standalone entities and was held and operated by THTF.

APPENDIX VI

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE TARGET BUSINESSES

The revenue of the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business increased from RMB133,317,000 for the year ended 31 December 2012 to RMB190,336,000 for the year ended 31 December 2013 primarily due to the growth in the business. Its revenue slightly decreased to RMB183,996,000 for the year ended 31 December 2014. The net profit of the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business increased from RMB17,735,000 for the year ended 31 December 2012 to RMB20,579,000 for the year ended 31 December 2013 primarily due to the growth in the business. Its net profit decreased to RMB8,434,000 for the year ended 31 December 2014 primarily due to an increase in amortization expenses associated with the cost of research and development which were capitalized as intangible assets.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES

The Target Businesses did not have any cash or cash equivalents as at the Relevant Periods. The Target Businesses had no borrowings or committed borrowing facilities as at the Relevant Periods and the gearing ratio (calculated as total borrowings divided by parent’s net investment) of each of the Target Businesses as at the end of each of the Relevant Periods were therefore zero.

From 2012 and 2014, the balance of trade and other receivables and the balance of trade and other payables of the Target Businesses had been increasing. Such increases are primarily attributable to the expansion of Target Businesses, which has been reflected in the significant increase in turnover during the same period. In addition, a significant portion of the receivables of the Target Businesses are related to projects which form part of larger projects of the customers with a longer construction period. It is not uncommon for the customers to settle partially the construction fee to the Company during the course of the construction but defer the final settlement until the larger project has been substantially completed, which further contributed to the increase in the balances of the trade and other receivables.

On the other hand, trade and other payables mainly represent trade payables due to the vendors of the Target Businesses. The reason for significant increase of trade and other payables is that the Target Businesses usually defer the settlement with vendors until they are get paid by its customers, in order to better manage the working capital of the Target Businesses. Therefore, the trade and other payables increased in line with the increase of trade and other receivables.

Set out below are the amounts of trade and other receivables, net of allowance for doubtful debts, of the Target Businesses that were past due but not impaired as at the dates indicated below:

APPENDIX VI

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE TARGET BUSINESSES

In general, the Target Businesses do not provide specific credit period to its customers and the billings are due upon issuance, therefore, any receivables outstanding as at period end are classified as past due. Nonetheless, for some of the larger customers with on-going or recurring projects, the Target Businesses are willing to accept a longer settlement period to maintain good business relationships with these customers. To manage the credit risk on receivables, the Target Businesses closely monitor the credit quality of the customers, taking into account of factors including but not limited to their background, repayment history, and aging of receivables, as well as the economic environment they operate, and maintain an allowance for doubtful debts on receivables of which the recoverability is in doubt.

The carrying amount of receivables that were past due but not impaired mainly relate to customers that have a good track record with the Target Businesses and have on-going or recurring business with the Target Businesses. The management of the Target Businesses have assessed the recoverability and believe that no further provision for impairment is necessary as there has not been a significant change in credit quality of these customers and the balances, net of any allowance for doubtful debts provided, are considered recoverable.

As disclosed in the financial information of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business, the Intelligence Building Business and the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business set out in Appendix III, Appendix IV and Appendix V, respectively, to this circular, each of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business, the Intelligence Building Business and the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business operates in a single business segment.

The macro-economic environment and government policies are generally favorable to the Target Businesses. With respect to the Intelligent Rail Transit Business, the rail transit operation line length in the PRC has been increasing at a double-digit rate in recent years and such growth is expected to continue in the near term. As the Intelligence Rail Transit Business primarily engages in providing intelligence integral solutions for the main electro-mechanical systems used in urban rail transportation systems, the continued growth of railways in the PRC represents an ample opportunity for the Intelligent Rail Transit Business to grow further.

The Intelligence Building Business and the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business, which are focused on delivering energy saving products and solutions in their respective markets, will continue to benefit from the 12th Five-Year Plan, under which the energy-saving industry as a whole will be one of the seven strategic emerging industries to be developed in the PRC. In addition, the continued growth in the construction market in the PRC and the continued investment in urban central heating network by heat providers, energy enterprises and gas enterprises in recent years provide favorable market conditions for the Intelligence Building Business and the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business, respectively, to expand.

Accordingly, it is expected that the demand on intelligence integrated solutions provided by the Target Businesses will continue to increase, providing opportunities for increase in the profitability of the Target Businesses.

(I) Analysis of the applicability of appraisal approach

In accordance with the requirements of Asset Valuation Standards, Intelligent Rail Transit Business portfolio can be valued under three methods, i.e., income method, market method and cost method. Income method is the quantification and calculation of the present value of the expected profitability of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business being assessed. It stresses on the assessment of the overall expected profitability of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business. Market method refers to a method of valuation in which the present fair market value of the valuation target is valued by comparing it with the references in the real market. The characteristic of this method is that the valuation data is directly sourced from the market, and the result of valuation is strongly convincing. Cost method refers to the perspective in which the value of the object of valuation is ascertained on the basis of reasonable valuation of the assets and liabilities.

VALUATION REPORT OF THE INTELLIGENT RAIL TRANSIT BUSINESS

In light of the characteristics of the economic activity corresponded to the objective of this valuation and the information regarding the operation of the object of valuation collected on the valuation site, and because the data relating to comparable transaction precedents for comparison is not available and whether there is any non-market value factors is unknown, market method cannot be adopted accordingly.

Intelligent Rail Transit Business appraised is a group of Intelligent Rail Transit Business assets portfolio which has independent profitability, and the income and risk for the coming year can be reliably estimated, which satisfies the conditions for adopting income method. Accordingly, the income method is applicable to the valuation.

Taking into account that the valuation result under the cost method is mainly determined by the simple addition of the renewal replacement cost of each individual asset and liability in the balance sheet of the valuation object as at the Valuation Basis Date, which cannot fully reflect the intangible asset value of the profitability of the valuation object, and accordingly, the cost method is not applicable.

In light of the above valuation perspectives, the income method is adopted to value the object of this valuation.

(II) Technologies and Models of the Income Method

The valuation of the business assets portfolio which is proposed to be transferred is undertaken by adopting the discounted cash flow (DCF) approach, based on the features of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business assets portfolio and the means of income.

DCF is a method of estimating the intelligent rail transit business assets portfolio by discounting its expected cash flow to present value, that is, the value of the intelligent rail transit business assets portfolio is determined by estimating the entity’s prospective cash flow and discounting it to present value using an appropriate discount rate. The basic conditions for applying this method are: the intelligent rail transit business assets have the basis and condition for sustainable operation; there is stable corresponding relationship between operation and income; and that the income and risk in future can be predicted and quantified. The key to the application of DCF lies in the prediction of the cash flow in future as well as the objectivity and reliability of data gathering and processing. When the prediction of cash flow in future is objective and fair, and the adoption of discount rate is relatively reasonable, the result of valuation tends to be objective and be accepted by the market easily.

3. Determination of Discount Rate

Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is adopted for this valuation.

The formula is as follows:

Re = Rf + β × MRP + Rc

Rf: risk-free rate of income

MRP: Rm-Rf: average market risk premium

Rm: expected market rate of return

β: expected market risk coefficient

Rc: Risk adjustment coefficient specific to enterprises

(1) Determination of Risk-free Rate of Return

Safe yield is also known as the risk-free rate of income or safe interest rate, which is the lowest yield investors shall be offered under the current market conditions. In China, as the treasury bonds is a relatively safe investment, its yield is thereby regarded as the most stable and lowest (i.e. the safe yield) among different investment portfolios. Valuer conducted this valuation with reference to bond-related information published on http://www.hexun.com (www.hexun.com was established in 1996, which is the only financial website owning internet news information service license as well as information spread internet audio-visual program license and securities investment advisory qualifications in China) and applied the yield to maturity of treasury bonds with the remaining term of more than ten years as the risk-free rate of return.

  • (2) Determination of Average Market Risk Premium

Market risk premium is the rate of return required by investors which is higher than risk-free interest rate, in relation to a fully risk-diversified market investment portfolio.

Market risk premium = basic compensation in the mature stock market + national risk compensation

Market risk premium of this valuation is 7.15%.

  • (3) Determination of Beta Coefficient

Beta coefficient is deemed as an indicator to evaluate the relative risk of a company. In this valuation, listed companies were chosen, among the A-share listed companies which had the same business mode and similar operation scale as the title holding entity, to be the comparable listed companies. Through Wind’s securities information terminal system, we can obtain the comparable listed companies’ Beta coefficient having financial leverage as at the Valuation Basis Date and the ratio of interest-bearing debt to equity capital, and translate them into Beta coefficient without financial leverage. Then, the arithmetic mean value of the translated Beta coefficient without financial leverage is taken as x, and integrate with corporate operation and loan status, and restore x to Beta coefficient with financial leverage of the title holding entity.

β Index conversion formula:

βL = βU [1 + (1 - T) × Wd / We]

  • (4) Determination of Risk Specific to the Intelligent Rail Transit Business Portfolio

Risk specific to the company represents the impact on the expected revenue of the object of valuation due to possible uncertainties during the operation of such company, such as changes in market demand, changes in supply conditions of production factors, competition among peers, monetary circulation and turnover of capital. After a thorough consideration of the production and operation scale, status of operation, financial position and liquidity of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business portfolio, the specific risk coefficient of such portfolio is determined.

In accordance with the requirements of Asset Valuation Standards, Intelligent Building Business portfolio can be valued under three methods, i.e., income method, market method and cost method. Income method is the quantification and calculation of the present value of the expected profitability of the Intelligent Building Business being assessed. It stresses on the assessment of the overall expected profitability of the Intelligent Building Business. Market method refers to a method of valuation in which the present fair market value of the valuation target is valued by comparing it with the references in the real market. The characteristic of this method is that the valuation data is directly sourced from the market, and the result of valuation is strongly convincing. Cost method refers to the perspective in which the value of the object of valuation is ascertained on the basis of reasonable valuation of the assets and liabilities.

APPENDIX VIII

VALUATION REPORT OF THE INTELLIGENT BUILDING BUSINESS

In light of the characteristics of the economic activity corresponded to the objective of this valuation and the information regarding the operation of the object of valuation collected on the valuation site, and because the data relating to comparable transaction precedents for comparison is not available, and whether there is any non-market value factors is unknown, market method cannot be adopted accordingly.

Intelligent Building Business appraised is a group of Intelligent Building Business assets portfolio which has independent profitability, and the income and risk for the coming year can be reliably estimated, which satisfies the conditions for adopting income method. Accordingly, the income method is applicable to the valuation.

Taking into account that the valuation result under the cost method is mainly determined by the simple addition of the renewal replacement cost of each individual asset and liability in the balance sheet of the valuation object as at the Valuation Basis Date, which cannot fully reflect the intangible asset value of the profitability of the valuation object, and accordingly, the cost method is not applicable.

In light of the above valuation perspectives, the income method is adopted to value the object of this valuation.

(II) Technologies and Models of the Income Method

The valuation of the business assets portfolio which is proposed to be transferred is undertaken by adopting the discounted cash flow (DCF) approach, based on the features of the Intelligent Building Business assets portfolio and the means of income.

DCF is a method of estimating the intelligent buildings business assets portfolio by discounting its expected cash flow to present value, that is, the value of the intelligent buildings business assets portfolio is determined by estimating the entity’s prospective cash flow and discounting it to present value using an appropriate discount rate. The basic conditions for applying this method are: the intelligent buildings business assets have the basis and condition for sustainable operation; there is stable corresponding relationship between operation and income; and that the income and risk in future can be predicted and quantified. The key to the application of DCF lies in the prediction of the cash flow in future as well as the objectivity and reliability of data gathering and processing. When the prediction of cash flow in future is objective and fair, and the adoption of discount rate is relatively reasonable, the result of valuation tends to be objective and be accepted by the market easily.

Inventories = total operating costs/turnover of inventories

Payables = total operating costs/turnover of payables

Receivables mainly include: trade receivables, bills receivables, long-term receivables and other trade receivables associated with operating activities.

Payables mainly include: trade payables, bills payables and other trade payables associated with operating activities.

3. Determination of Discount Rate

Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is adopted for this valuation.

The formula is as follows:

Re= Rf+β×MRP+Rc

Rf: risk-free rate of income

MRP: Rm-Rf: average market risk premium

Rm: expected market rate of return

β: expected market risk coefficient

Rc: Risk adjustment coefficient specific to enterprises

(1) Determination of Risk-free Rate of Return

Safe yield is also known as the risk-free rate of income or safe interest rate, which is the lowest yield investors shall be offered under the current market conditions. In China, as the treasury bonds is a relatively safe investment, its yield is thereby regarded as the most stable and lowest (i.e. the safe yield) among different investment portfolios. Valuer conducted this valuation with reference to bond-related information published on http://www.hexun.com (www.hexun.com was established in 1996, which is the only financial website owning internet news information service license as well as information spread internet audio-visual program license and securities investment advisory qualifications in China) and applied the yield to maturity of treasury bonds with the remaining term of more than ten years as the risk-free rate of return.

(2) Determination of Average Market Risk Premium

Market risk premium is the rate of return required by investors which is higher than risk-free interest rate, in relation to a fully risk-diversified market investment portfolio.

Market risk premium = basic compensation in the mature stock market + national risk compensation. Market risk premium of this valuation is 7.15%.

(3) Determination of Beta Coefficient

Beta coefficient is deemed as an indicator to evaluate the relative risk of a company. In this valuation, listed companies were chosen, among the A-share listed companies which had the same business mode and similar operation scale as the title holding entity, to be the comparable listed companies. Through Wind’s securities information terminal system, we can obtain the comparable listed companies’ Beta coefficient having financial leverage as at the Valuation Basis Date and the ratio of interest-bearing debt to equity capital, and translate them into Beta coefficient without financial leverage. Then, the arithmetic mean value of the translated Beta coefficient without financial leverage is taken as x, and integrate with corporate operation and loan status, and restore x to Beta coefficient with financial leverage of the title holding entity.

β Index conversion formula:

βL =βU [1+(1-T)×Wd / We]

(4) Determination of Risk Specific to the Business and Assets Portfolio

Risk specific to the company represents the impact on the expected revenue of the object of valuation due to possible uncertainties during the operation of such company, such as changes in market demand, changes in supply conditions of production factors, competition among peers, monetary circulation and turnover of capital. After a thorough consideration of the production and operation scale, status of operation, financial position and liquidity of the business and assets portfolio, the specific risk coefficient of such portfolio is determined.

APPENDIX IX

VALUATION REPORT OF THE INTELLIGENT URBAN HEATING NETWORK BUSINESS

In light of the characteristics of the economic activity corresponded to the objective of this valuation and the information regarding the operation of the object of valuation collected on the valuation site, and because the data relating to comparable translation precedents for comparison is not available, and whether there is any non-market value factors is unknown, market method cannot be adopted accordingly.

Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business appraised is a group of Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business assets portfolio which has independent profitability, and the income and risk for the coming year can be reliably estimated, which satisfies the conditions for adopting income method. Accordingly, the income method is applicable to the valuation.

Taking into account that the valuation result under the cost method is mainly determined by the simple addition of the renewal replacement cost of each individual asset and liability in the balance sheet of the valuation object as at the Valuation Basis Date, which cannot fully reflect the intangible asset value of the profitability of the valuation object, and accordingly, the cost method is not applicable.

In light of the above valuation perspectives, the income method is adopted to value the object of this valuation.

(II) Technologies and Models of the Income Method

The valuation of the business assets portfolio which is proposed to be transferred is undertaken by adopting the discounted cash flow (DCF) approach, based on the feature of the Intelligent Urban Heating Network Business assets portfolio and the means of income.

DCF is a method of estimating the intelligent Urban Heating Network business assets portfolio by discounting its expected cash flow to present value, that is, the value of the intelligent Urban Heating Network business assets portfolio is determined by estimating the entity’s prospective cash flow and discounting it to present value using an appropriate discount rate. The basic conditions for applying this method are: the intelligent Urban Heating Network business assets have the basis and condition for sustainable operation; there is stable corresponding relationship between operation and income; and that the income and risk in future can be predicted and quantified. The key to the application of DCF lies in the prediction of the cash flow in future as well as the objectivity and reliability of data gathering and processing. When the prediction of cash flow in future is objective and fair, and the adoption of discount rate is relatively reasonable, the result of valuation tends to be objective and be accepted by the market easily.

(2) Determination of Average Market Risk Premium

Market risk premium is the rate of return required by investors which is higher than risk-free interest rate, in relation to a fully risk-diversified market investment portfolio.

Market risk premium = basic compensation in the mature stock market + national risk compensation. Market risk premium of this valuation is 7.15%.

(3) Determination of Beta Coefficient

Beta coefficient is deemed as an indicator to evaluate the relative risk of a company. In this valuation, listed companies were chosen, among the A-share listed companies which had the same business mode and similar operation scale as the title holding entity, to be the comparable listed companies. Through Wind’s securities information terminal system, we can obtain the comparable listed companies’ Beta coefficient having financial as at the Valuation Basis Date and the ratio of interest-bearing debt to equity capital, and translate them into Beta coefficient without financial leverage. Then, the arithmetic mean value of the translated Beta coefficient without financial leverage is taken as x, and integrate with corporate operation and loan status, and restore x to Beta coefficient with financial leverage of the title holding entity.

β Index conversion formula:

βL = βU [1 + (1 - T) × Wd / We]

(4) Determination of Risk Specific to the Business and Assets Portfolio

Risk specific to the company represents the impact on the expected revenue of the object of valuation due to possible uncertainties during the operation of such company, such as changes in market demand, changes in supply conditions of production factors, competition among peers, monetary circulation and turnover of capital. After a thorough consideration of the production and operation scale, status of operation, financial position and liquidity of the business and assets portfolio, the specific risk coefficient of such business and assets portfolio is determined.

8th Floor Prince’s Building 10 Chater Road Central Hong Kong

25 September 2015

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF TECHNOVATOR INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

We refer to the discounted future cash flows on which the valuation (the “Valuation”) dated 29 July 2015 prepared by Beijing Zhuoxindahua Appraisal Co., Ltd in respect of the appraisal of the fair value of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business as at 31 March 2015 is based. The Valuation is prepared based in part on the discounted future cash flows and is regarded as a profit forecast under paragraph 14.61 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”).

Responsibilities

The directors of Technovator International Limited (the “Directors”) are responsible for the preparation of the discounted future cash flows in accordance with the bases and assumptions determined by the Directors and as set out in the Valuation. This responsibility includes carrying out appropriate procedures relevant to the preparation of the discounted future cash flows for the Valuation and applying an appropriate basis of preparation; and making estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

It is our responsibility to report, as required by paragraph 14.62(2) of the Listing Rules, on the calculations of the discounted future cash flows used in the Valuation. The discounted future cash flows do not involve the adoption of accounting policies.

REPORT FROM THE REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS AND THE LETTER FROM THE BOARD IN RELATION TO THE VALUATION OF THE TARGET BUSINESSES

Basis of opinion

We conducted our work in accordance with the Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 “Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”). This standard requires that we plan and perform our work to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether, so far as the calculations are concerned, the Directors have properly compiled the discounted future cash flows in accordance with the bases and assumptions as set out in the Valuation. We performed procedures on the arithmetical calculations and the compilations of the discounted future cash flows in accordance with the bases and assumptions. Our work is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, so far as the calculations are concerned, the discounted future cash flows have been properly compiled in accordance with the bases and assumptions adopted by the Directors as set out in the Valuation.

Other matters

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw to your attention that we are not reporting on the appropriateness and validity of the bases and assumptions on which the discounted future cash flows are based and our work does not constitute any valuation of the Intelligent Rail Transit Business or an expression of an audit or review opinion on the Valuation.

The discounted future cash flows depend on future events and on a number of assumptions which cannot be confirmed and verified in the same way as past results and not all of which may remain valid throughout the period. Our work has been undertaken for the purpose of reporting solely to you under paragraph 14.62(2) of the Listing Rules and for no other purpose. We accept no responsibility to any other person in respect of, arising out of or in connection with our work.
