The Consideration will be satisfied by the net proceeds of the Rights Issue.

The Vendor shall be at liberty to rescind the Agreement and to retain the Property or any part thereof or to resell the same as the Vendor may think fit.

– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Nothing contained in the Agreement shall be so construed as to prevent either the Vendor or the Purchaser from bringing an action and obtaining a decree for specific performance of the Agreement either in lieu of the damages or in addition to such damages as the party bringing such action may have sustained by reason of the breach by the other party to the Agreement.
Lease Back
The Property is currently being used and occupied by the Vendor. It is a term of the Agreement that subject to Completion, the Vendor shall lease the Property from the Purchaser who will then be the owner in the principal terms and conditions, among others, as follows:
-
(a) for a term of three years commencing from the date immediately after Completion;
-
(b) rental amount of the office premises at 19th Floor of the Property: HK$254,000 per calendar month (exclusive of management fees and rates and other outgoings) payable monthly in advance by the Vendor during the term of the tenancy agreement; and
-
(c) rental amount of the car park spaces of the Property: HK$9,000 per calendar month (inclusive of rates and management fees) payable monthly in advance by the Vendor during the term of the tenancy agreement.
The terms of the tenancy agreement were arrived at after arm’s length negotiation between the Vendor and the Purchaser and are normal commercial terms. The monthly rental was determined with reference to the prevailing market rentals of comparable-size offices in the building of which the Property locates.
Completion
Subject to the fulfillment (or waiver, where applicable) of all the conditions set out in the Agreement, Completion is scheduled to take place on or before 12 October 2017 or such later date as the Vendor and the Purchaser may agree in writing.

The Group is principally engaged in the provision of network solutions and project services, property investment, yacht building in Hong Kong and minerals exploration.
The Purchaser is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and its principal activity is investment holding.
To the best knowledge of the Directors, the Vendor is engaged in shipping business.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
D. REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION
As disclosed in the Rights Issue Prospectus, the Group has been interested in the Hong Kong property market, in particular, the office premises sector, and would utilise approximately 75% of the proceeds (approximately HK$170 million) raised from the Rights Issue for acquiring potential properties to strengthen its property portfolio. Since then, the Group has been looking for a suitable investment and potential target.
The Property is an office premises located at Gloucester Road, which is one of the prime office locations in Hong Kong. It is also a term of the Agreement that, subject to Completion, the Vendor shall lease the Property from the Purchaser immediately after Completion. As such, the Board believes that the Acquisition represents a good investment as immediately after Completion, the Property will generate a steady flow of rental income for the Group.
The Directors are of the view that the terms of the Agreement (including the tenancy agreement in respect of the Property to be entered into between the Vendor as lessee and the Purchaser as lessor upon Completion) are normal commercial terms and fair and reasonable, and the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
None of the Directors have any material interest in the Acquisition and therefore, none of them had abstained or was required to abstain from voting on the resolution approving the Agreement at the meeting of the Board.
E. CHANGE IN USE OF NET PROCEEDS OF THE RIGHTS ISSUE
As disclosed in the Rights Issue Prospectus, approximately HK$170 million of the net proceeds from the Rights Issue was intended to be used for acquisition of properties.
After Completion and taking into account the costs and expenses including stamp duty payable in relation to the Acquisition, the estimated remaining balance of the net proceeds of the Rights Issue allocated for property investment will be in the approximate amount of HK$14.7 million. Such Unutilised Amount may not be sufficient to acquire additional property for the Group’s investment purpose, and adhering strictly to the intended use of the net proceeds of the Rights Issue as mentioned in the Rights Issue Prospectus may not be in the interest of the Group in its business developments. As such, subject to Completion, the Unutilised Amount will be re-allocated as general working capital of the Group. The Board considers that such change in the intended use of such net proceeds is in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
– 8 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
F. FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITION ON THE GROUP
Upon Completion, the Purchaser will become the registered owner of the Property.
Based on the “Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Group” as set out in Appendix II to this circular, the investment properties held by the Group is expected to increase by approximately HK$155.3 million, representing the sum of the Consideration, agency fee, stamp duty and other directly attributable expenditures; the net asset value of the Group is expected to remain unchanged as the increase in investment properties is being offset by the corresponding decrease in cash reserves of the Group.
The Group’s earnings are expected to increase as a result of the Acquisition, after taking into account the monthly aggregate rental income of HK$263,000 to be derived from the Property.
It should be noted that the above financial effects of the Acquisition are for illustration purpose only. The actual financial effects of the Acquisition on the Group at Completion may be different from the amounts presented in this section and the differences may be significant.
G. LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As certain applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the Listing Rules) calculated pursuant to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Acquisition exceed 25% but are less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements.
The EGM will be convened and held for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Acquisition. To the best knowledge of the Directors, no Shareholder is interested in the Acquisition. Accordingly, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the resolution to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Agreement.
H. EGM
A notice convening the EGM to be held at 1804, 18/F., Tower 1, Admiralty Centre, 18 Harcourt Road, Admiralty, Hong Kong on Wednesday, 13 September 2017 at 11:00 a.m. is set out on pages EGM-1 to EGM-2 of this circular.

As at the close of business on 30 June 2017, being the latest practicable date for the purpose of ascertaining the indebtedness of the Group prior to the printing of this circular, apart from intra-group liabilities and normal trade payables in the ordinary course of business, the Group did not have any outstanding mortgage, charge, debenture or other loan capital, bank overdraft or loan, other similar indebtedness, finance lease or hire purchase commitment, liability under acceptance or acceptable credit, guarantee or any material contingent liability.

APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS
The Group is principally engaged in the provision of network solutions and project services, property investment, yacht construction and trading, and exploration and evaluation of mineral resources.
Network solutions and project services (“NSPS”)
The negative factors stated in the Interim Results affecting the business of NSPS including the economic fundamentals of Hong Kong remain unchanged. Therefore, the management of NSPS expects its business to remain stagnant.
Property investment
The Group acquired two commercial properties in Hong Kong in November 2016 and January 2017 respectively and continues to strengthen its investment property portfolio through the Acquisition which is in line with the reasons for the Rights Issue as stated in the Rights Issue Prospectus. The Acquisition will contribute a stabilized revenue income to the Group immediately after Completion. Looking forward, the Directors believe that the Group will be able to broaden its income base through the rental incomes to be generated from the investment property portfolio.
Exploration and evaluation of mineral resources
The exploration plan for the year of 2017 in respect of the Group’s four exploration licenses in Mongolia had been formulated and exploration teams were mobilized in May 2017. The overall 2017 exploration budget is approximately HK$21.0 million.
Yacht construction
In respect of yacht construction, the Group anticipated that the first model yacht would be completed by the end of 2017. The Group may conduct an overall review on the yacht construction business after completion of the said first model yacht.

The following is the text of the assurance report received from the Company’s reporting accountants, Simon Y.P. Chan & Co., in respect of the Group’s unaudited pro forma financial information prepared for the purpose of incorporation in this circular.
INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
To Directors
Vision Values Holdings Limited
We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of unaudited pro forma financial information of Vision Values Holdings Limited (the “ Company ”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “ Group ”), which have been prepared by the directors of the Company (the “ Directors ”) for illustrative purposes only. The unaudited pro forma financial information consists of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as at 31 December 2016 and related note as set out on page II-5 of the circular issued by the Company dated 18 August 2017 (the “ Circular ”) in connection with the major acquisition of an office property and two car park spaces (the “ Acquisition ”). The applicable criteria on the basis of which the Directors have compiled the unaudited pro forma financial information are described on pages II-1 to II-3 of the Circular.
The unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled by the Directors to illustrate the impact of the Acquisition on the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2016 as if the Acquisition had taken place at 31 December 2016. As part of this process, information about the Group’s financial position has been extracted by the Directors from the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2016, on which no auditor’s report or review report has been published and the unaudited pro forma statement of adjusted consolidated net tangible assets of the Group as set out in the prospectus of the Company dated 6 March 2017.
Directors’ responsibilities for the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The Directors are responsible for compiling the unaudited 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” (“ AG7 ”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “ HKICPA ”).
Our Independence and Quality Control
We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the “Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants” issued by the HKICPA, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behavior.
– II-1 –
APPENDIX II
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
Our firm applies Hong Kong Standard on Quality Control 1 “Quality Control for Firms that Perform Audits and Reviews of Financial Statements, and Other Assurance and Related Services Engagements” issued by the HKICPA and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Reporting Accountants’ Responsibilities
Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by paragraph 4.29(7) of the Listing Rules, on the unaudited 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 unaudited 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 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 plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Directors have compiled the unaudited 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 purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the unaudited 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 unaudited pro forma financial information.
The purpose of unaudited pro forma financial information included in an investment circular is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant event or transaction on 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 event or transaction at 31 December 2016 would have been as presented.
A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the unaudited 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 unaudited 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 unaudited pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and
-
The unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.
– II-2 –
APPENDIX II UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants’ judgment, having regard to the reporting accountants’ understanding of the nature of the Group, the event or transaction in respect of which the unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.
The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the unaudited pro forma financial information.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion:
-
a) the unaudited pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis stated;
-
b) such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Group; and
-
c) the adjustments are appropriate for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma financial information as disclosed pursuant to paragraph 4.29(1) of the Listing Rules.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities is prepared based on the unaudited consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2016 which has been extracted from the Group’s interim report for the six months ended 31 December 2016 issued on 27 February 2017 and the unaudited pro forma statement of adjusted consolidated net tangible assets of the Group as set out in the prospectus of the Company dated 6 March 2017, and after making pro forma adjustment relating to the Acquisition that is (i) directly attributable to the Acquisition; and (ii) factually supportable as if the Acquisition had been undertaken as at 31 December 2016.

Narrative description of the pro forma adjustment of the Acquisition that is (i) directly attributable to the transactions; and (ii) factually supportable, is summarised in the accompanying note.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities has been prepared by the Directors based on certain assumptions, estimates and uncertainties for illustrative purposes only and because of its hypothetical nature, it may not give a true picture of the financial position of the Group. Accordingly, the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities does not purport to describe the financial position of the Group that would have been attained had the Acquisition been completed on 31 December 2016, nor to predict the future financial position of the Group.

The Board of Directors Vision Values Holdings Limited Unit 902-03, 9th Floor Shui Hing Centre 13 Sheung Yuet Road Kowloon Bay Hong Kong
Dear Sirs,
RE: 19TH FLOOR (OTHERWISE KNOWN AS 15/F ABOVE THE CAR PARK PODIUM), SPACE NOS. 64 AND 65 ON 3RD FLOOR, FORTIS BANK TOWER NOS. 77, 78-79 GLOUCESTER ROAD, WAN CHAI, HONG KONG
In accordance with your instructions to value the property interest to be acquired by Golden Union Development Limited, an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of Vision Values Holdings Limited (the “ Company ”, together with its subsidiaries, as the “ Group ”) in Hong Kong, we confirm that we have carried out external inspections, made relevant enquiries and searches and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market value of the property interest as at 30 June 2017 (the “ valuation date ”).
Our valuation is carried out on a market value basis. Market value is defined as “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.
We have valued the property interest by direct comparison approach assuming sale of the property interest in its existing state with the benefit of vacant possession and by making reference to comparable sales transactions as available in the relevant market.
Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the seller sells the property interest in the market without the benefit of a deferred term contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement, which could serve to affect the value of the property interest.

APPENDIX III
VALUATION REPORT OF THE PROPERTY
No allowance has been made in our report for any charge, mortgage or amount owing on any of the property interest valued nor for any expense or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the property is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature, which could affect its value.
In valuing the property interest, we have complied with all requirements contained in Chapter 5 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the HKIS Valuation Standards published from time to time by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors; and we have also complied with requirements contained in the RICS Valuation — Professional Standards published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and the International Valuation Standards published by the International Valuation Standards Council.
We have relied to a very considerable extent on the information given by the Group and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as tenure, planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, particulars of occupancy, lettings, and other relevant matters.
We have caused searches to be made at the Hong Kong Land Registry. However, we have not searched the original documents to verify the ownership or to ascertain any amendment.
We have not carried out detailed measurements to verify the correctness of the areas in respect of the property but have assumed that the areas shown on the title documents and official site plans handed to us are correct. All documents and contracts have been used as reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximations. No on-site measurement has been taken.
We have inspected the exterior and where possible, the interior of the property. However, we have not carried out investigation to determine the suitability of the ground conditions and services for any development thereon. Our valuation has been prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory. Moreover, no structural survey has been made, but, in the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defect. We are not, however, able to report whether the property is free of rot, infestation or any other structural defect. No tests were carried out on any of the services.
The site inspection was carried out on 20 July 2017 by Ms. Tracy Yuen. Ms. Tracy Yuen is a probationer of HKIS.
We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Group. We have also sought confirmation from the Group that no material factors have been omitted from the information supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to arrive at an informed view, and we have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld.
