LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The price of the Tender was determined with reference to the preliminary valuation of the Property provided by an independent property valuer and also taking into consideration the anticipated rental income generated from the Property. The purchase price will be financed by the WOP Group’s banking facilities and/or internal resources.

Completion : Completion shall take place on 16 May 2019 or such later date as may be agreed by the Vendor.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

The Group is principally engaged in (i) management and sub-licensing of fresh markets and treasury management in Hong Kong and the PRC; (ii) property investment and property development in Hong Kong through WOP, its 75%-owned listed subsidiary; and (iii) manufacturing and/or retailing of pharmaceutical and health food products through WYT, its 58.08%-owned listed subsidiary. The WOP Group is principally engaged in the businesses of developing residential and commercial properties for sale and investing in commercial and industrial properties for capital appreciation.

The Board considers that the Acquisition can help explore its asset management business, enhance and enlarge the investment property portfolio of, and bring additional stable rental income to, the Group. The Company intends to refurbish certain parts of the Property for retail purpose. Subject to the clauses and expiry dates of certain tenancies in respect of the Property, the Company will adjust the tenant mix to meet the demands of customers pursuing high quality, healthy and stylish living for a higher rental yield, which is expected to broaden its prospect and thus, increase the future rental value, thereby enhancing the future capital appreciation of the Property.

The Directors consider that the terms of the Acquisition are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of each of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

INFORMATION ON THE PROPERTY

The Property is the retail podium comprising car parking spaces and the retail podium of the ground floor and the level one of the residential accommodation known as ‘‘Lake Silver’’ located at No. 599 Sai Sha Road, Ma On Shan, Sha Tin, New Territories, Hong Kong, with a total lettable area of approximately 31,372 square feet.

According to the information available to the Purchaser, the Property is being acquired on an ‘‘as is’’ basis, together with the rights and benefits of the existing tenancies and licence(s) in respect of the Property of which will expire in the period between 2019 to 2023. The annual rental income attributable to the Property is approximately HK$21.0 million.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

FINANCIAL IMPACT OF THE ACQUISITION

Upon Completion, non-current assets of the Group will increase by an increase in investment properties. Current assets will decrease and non-current liabilities will increase, assuming that the Acquisition is financed partly by cash and bank balances and partly by long-term bank loan. Details of the estimated effect of the Acquisition on the assets and liabilities of the Group is set out in Appendix III to this circular.

As Completion is to take place on or before 16 May 2019, it is estimated that the Acquisition will contribute an annual rental income of approximately HK$21.0 million to the earnings of the Group. The Directors are of the view that rental income from the Property will increase gradually as compared with the current rental and it is expected that the Acquisition helps explore its asset management business, enhance and enlarge the investment property portfolio of, and bring additional stable rental income to the Group.

GENERAL

As one of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Acquisition for the Company exceeds 25% but is less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction for the Company and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules. To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholders or any of their respective associates have any material interest in the Acquisition, thus no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a special general meeting for the approval of the Acquisition. The Company has obtained a written shareholders’ approval from Mr. Tang Ching Ho and his associates, the controlling shareholder group holding 9,984,356,772 Shares (representing approximately 55.88% of the total issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date), in lieu of holding a special general meeting to approve the Acquisition in accordance with Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to Rule 14.41(a) of the Listing Rules, the Company is required to despatch a circular containing, among other information, further details of the Acquisition, to the Shareholders within 15 business days after the publication of the Joint Announcement, which is on or before 19 February 2019. As additional time is required for the Company to prepare and finalise the financial information of the Group to be included in the circular, the Company has applied to the Stock Exchange for a waiver from strict compliance with Rule 14.41(a) of the Listing Rules, and the Stock Exchange has granted the aforementioned waiver to the Company on 30 January 2019, on the basis that this circular will be despatched to the Shareholders on or before 28 March 2019.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

The Hong Kong residential market recorded continuous growth in both property price and number of transactions. The Centa-City Leading Index has increased by approximately 11.0% during the first three quarters of 2017. Nonetheless, the various uncertainties such as planned scale-back of balance sheet of U.S. Federal Reserve, Brexit negotiations and control measures released by the Government may impact the development pace.

According to the rental indices issued by Rating and Valuation Department, both the rents and price of retail shops and Grade-A office units are growing from last year. The Group will continue to seek for investments with steady recurrent income and capital appreciation to strengthen the property investment portfolio. The WYT Group’s new production facilities commenced operation in March 2017. By then, the WYT Group has been transforming to manufacture and distribute the WYT Group’s products through this newly established Good Manufacturing Practice certified manufacturing base. The WYT Group’s Hong Kong operation has maintained stable sales, but there has been a decline in it sales for its PRC operation. The Group has been strategically restructuring our sales and distribution networks to strengthen business growth and reducing overheads to protect our margins.

The WYT Group also undertakes a strategy to scale down loss making operations and focus on the products and business lines with clear growth potential. With well-recognised household brand value, solid foundation, right strategies and new production facilities, the Group is confident that it can build great value to its shareholders.

Apart from property related and pharmaceutical and health care businesses, the operation of fresh markets and treasury management will continue to serve as reliable recurring income sources of the Group. In order to sustain further growth, the Group is actively exploring various forms of strategic business opportunities, and will develop or invest in new businesses whenever it generates attractive return to the Group and the Shareholders.

APPENDIX II

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE PROPERTY

1. PROFIT AND LOSS STATEMENT OF THE PROPERTY

Pursuant to Rule 14.67(6)(b)(i) of the Listing Rules, on an acquisition of any revenuegenerating assets (other than a business or a company) with an identifiable income stream or assets valuation, the Company is required to include in this circular a profit and loss statement for the three preceding financial years or less, where the asset has been held by the vendor for a shorter period) on the identifiable net income stream in relation to such assets which must be reviewed by the auditor or reporting accountants to ensure that such information has been properly compiled and derived from the underlying books and records. In the case of the Company in relation to the Acquisition, such period covers the three financial years ended 31 March 2016, 2017 and 2018 and the six months ended 30 September 2018 (the ‘‘Relevant Period’’).

As disclosed in the Joint Announcement, based on the information provided by the Vendor, the Property is subject to certain tenancies and licence(s). The Company has obtained from the Vendor a list of basic information, as contained in the Tender documents, on the existing tenancy agreements (the ‘‘Tenancy Agreements’’) and licence agreement(s) (the ‘‘Licence Agreement’’) in respect of the Property, including, among other things, monthly rent and deposit, and the terms of the tenancies and licence(s). The Company’s solicitors have also compiled a summary table of basic information on the Tenancy Agreements and Licence Agreement based on their review of certain documents provided by the Vendor during the due diligence exercise conducted at the office of the Vendor, including, among other things, monthly rental, government rent and rates, and management fee (collectively, the ‘‘Tenancy Information’’). Save for the Tenancy Information, despite specific requests made by the Company, (i) no further detailed breakdown of any financial breakdown has been provided by the Vendor; (ii) the Vendor has not granted the Company access to the underlying books and records or other financial information of the Property, including direct costs and other expenses for the preparation of the financial information of the Property for the Relevant Period in strict compliance with the requirements of Rule 14.67(6)(b)(i) of the Listing Rules; and (iii) no copies of any Tenancy Agreements and Licence Agreement(s) were provided by the Vendor. The Vendor considers that it is not appropriate or desirable to allow the Company access to the underlying books and records of the Vendor as the Vendor possesses other financial information which is confidential and not relevant to the Acquisition. As a result, the Vendor has declined to provide their underlying books and records on the basis that these financial information are proprietary and confidential to the Vendor.

The Company has therefore applied, and the Stock Exchange has granted, a waiver from strict compliance with Rule 14.67(6)(b)(i) of the Listing Rules, such that the following information be disclosed instead.

The financial information of the Property for each of the Relevant Period set out below has been prepared by the Directors solely based on the Tenancy Information provided by the Vendor and represents an alternative to and does not represent the profit and loss statement of the Property. Accordingly, it may not give a full picture of the performance of the Property during the Relevant Period.

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE PROPERTY

APPENDIX II

  1. Save for the Tenancy Information and other publicly available information, the Directors do not have access to other financial information in relation to the Property. Due to the limited information available to them, the Directors are unable to ascertain the amount of profits tax payable by the Vendor during the Relevant Period. Based on the Tenancy Information and the experience of the Company’s management, the Directors also estimated that the other monthly expenses such as insurance costs and repair and maintenance expenses, which are payable by the Vendor, is minimal. Accordingly, no other expenses such as profits tax, insurance costs and repair and maintenance expenses were included in the above financial information.

  2. Save for the financial information that the Company could not obtain from the Vendor, the financial information of the Property set out above is prepared using accounting policies which are materially consistent with those of the Company.

  3. The following procedures have been undertaken by Ernst & Young, the reporting accountants of the Company, in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Related Services 4400 ‘‘Engagements to Perform Agreed-upon Procedures Regarding Financial Information’’ issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the ‘‘HKICPA’’):

  4. (i) obtained the gross rental income summary (the ‘‘Gross Rental Income Summary’’) of the Property for the Relevant Period prepared by the management of the Company and checked its arithmetical accuracy. As represented by the management of the Company, the information in the Gross Rental Income Summary is extracted from the Tenancy Information provided by the Vendor; and

  5. (ii) compared the amounts of gross rental income as set out on page II-2 above against the Gross Rental Income Summary.

Based on the information and documents made available to the reporting accountants of the Company, their findings are:

  • (i) with respect to procedure no. (i) above, the reporting accountants found the Gross Rental Income Summary was arithmetically accurate; and

  • (ii) with respect to procedure no. (ii) above, the reporting accountants found the gross rental income as set out on page II-2 above was in agreement with those contained in the Gross Rental Income Summary.

Because the above procedures do not constitute an assurance engagement performed in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing, Hong Kong Standards on Review Engagements or Hong Kong Standards on Assurance Engagements issued by the HKICPA, Ernst & Young do not express any assurance on the Gross Rental Income Summary.

Had Ernst & Young performed additional procedures or had Ernst & Young performed an assurance engagement on the Gross Rental Income Summary in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing, Hong Kong Standards on Review Engagements or Hong Kong Standards on Assurance Engagements issued by the HKICPA, other matters might have come to their attention that would have been reported to the Directors.

  1. The Directors are of the view that the omission of a profit and loss statement for the net income stream of the Property would not render this circular materially incomplete and misleading or deceptive.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

INTRODUCTION

This unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Group (the ‘‘Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information’’) has been prepared for the purpose of providing the Shareholders with information about the impact of the Acquisition by illustrating how the Acquisition might have affected the financial position of the Group as at 30 September 2018, had the completion of the Acquisition taken place on 30 September 2018.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared based on a number of assumptions, estimates and uncertainties. Accordingly, the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information does not purport to describe the actual financial position of the Group that would have been attained had the Acquisition been completed on 30 September 2018. Neither does the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information purport to predict the future financial position of the Group.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and because of its nature, it may not give a true picture of the financial position of the Group following the Completion.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information is prepared based on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 30 September 2018 as set out in the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 September 2018 after giving effect to the pro forma adjustments described in the accompanying notes.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information should be read in conjunction with other financial information included elsewhere in this circular.

The Property is measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to the initial recognition, the Property will be subject to valuation to have it stated at fair value in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy for ‘‘investment property’’ reflecting the then market condition at the end of the reporting period.

APPENDIX III

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

The adjustment represents the acquisition cost of the Property which amounted to HK$653 million and the incidental costs which are estimated to be approximately HK$64.5 million (costs capitalised to the initial cost of the Property including stamp duty of approximately HK$55.5 million, commission of approximately HK$6.5 million, legal and professional fee of approximately HK$2.3 million and costs expensed off of approximately HK$0.3 million) payable in connection with the Acquisition, as if the Acquisition was completed on 30 September 2018.

  • (3) In accordance with the Group’s accounting policy, property held to earn rental income is accounted for as an investment property in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

  • (4) The Group intends to fund the Acquisition partly by internal resources and partly by bank borrowings. In preparing the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the Directors had assumed that the Group will settle 50% of the consideration and all direct expenses (approximately HK$391.0 million) by internal resources and 50% of the consideration (approximately HK$326.5 million) by a mortgage bank loan. It is also assumed that the mortgage bank loan will be classified as a non-current liability. As such, the apportionment of the above financing at the date of Completion could be different from the amounts presented above.

  • (5) No adjustments have been made to reflect any trading results or other transactions of the Group entered into subsequent to 30 September 2018.

22/F CITIC Tower 1 Tim Mei Avenue Central, Hong Kong

28 March 2019

The Board of Directors Wang On Group Limited

Dear Sirs,

Independent reporting accountants’ assurance report in the compilation of pro forma financial information

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of unaudited pro forma financial information of Wang On Group Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the ‘‘Group’’) by the directors of the Company (the ‘‘Directors’’) for illustrative purpose only. The pro forma financial information consists of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 30 September 2018 and the related notes set out in Appendix III to the circular dated 28 March 2019 (the ‘‘Circular’’) issued by the Company (the ‘‘Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information’’) in connection with the proposed acquisition of properties (the ‘‘Acquisition’’). The applicable criteria on the basis of which the Directors have compiled the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information are described in notes 1 to 5 in Appendix III to the Circular.

– III-6 –

APPENDIX III

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

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 30 September 2018 as if the Acquisition had taken place on 30 September 2018. As part of this process, information about the Group’s financial position has been extracted by the Directors from the Group’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended 30 September 2018 as set out in the Interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 September 2018.

Directors’ responsibility for the 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 (‘‘AG’’) 7 Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars 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.

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, 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.

APPENDIX III

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

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.

Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the Acquisition 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 Acquisition, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

  • . The related 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.

The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants’ judgement, having regard to the reporting accountants’ understanding of the nature of the Group, the Acquisition 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.

The Board of Directors

Wang On Properties Limited

Suite 3201, 32/F, Skyline Tower, 39 Wang Kwong Road Kowloon Bay, Kowloon Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

The Commercial Areas (including the Commercial Parking Areas), the Commercial Common Areas and Facilities and the Kindergarten, Lake Silver, No. 599 Sai Sha Road, Ma On Shan, Sha Tin, New Territories, Hong Kong

In accordance with the instructions from Wang On Properties Limited (referred to as the ‘‘Company’’) to value the captioned property interests (referred to as the ‘‘Property’’) situated in Hong Kong, we confirm that we have carried out inspection of the Property, made relevant enquiries 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 as at 31 January 2019 (the ‘‘Valuation Date’’).

Basis of Valuation

Our valuation of the Property represents the market value which we would define as intended to mean ‘‘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’’.

– IV-1 –

APPENDIX IV

VALUATION REPORT OF THE PROPERTY

Valuation Methodology

As most of the shops have been tenanted, we have adopted the Capitalization Approach in valuing the Property. The Direct Capitalization Approach is based on the base rental income that can be generated from the Property under the leases to be executed for the Properties with due allowance on the reversionary interest upon expiry of those existing tenancies. Discount rate is based on the market property yield as prevailing on the Valuation Date.

The reversionary interest of the Property has been assessed based on its market value with the benefit of vacant possession by the comparison method where comparison based on prices realised or market prices of comparable properties is made. Comparable properties of similar size, character and location are analysed and carefully weighed against all the respective advantages and disadvantages of each property in order to arrive at a fair comparison of capital values.

Assumptions

Our valuation has been made on the assumption that owners sell the Property on the market in its existing state without the benefit of deferred terms contracts, leaseback, joint ventures, management agreements or any similar arrangement which would serve to affect the value of the Property.

As the Property is held by the owners by means of long term Government lease, we have assumed that the owners have free and uninterrupted rights to use the Property for the whole of the unexpired term of the Government lease.

Other special assumptions for our valuation (if any) would be stated out in the footnotes of the valuation certificate attached herewith.

Titleship

We have been obtained land registration details of the Property in the Land Registry. However, we have not verified ownership of the Property and the existence of any encumbrances that would affect its ownership. Information in relation to land registration of the Property is disclosed herein for reference only.

Site Inspection

The Property was inspected on 15 February 2019 by Chen Nelson Chun Kin, who is a holder of master degree of science in construction and real estate awarded by the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. During the site inspection, we have ascertained the following matters of the Property:

  • . the general environment and development conditions of the area in which the Property is situated;

  • . the existing use of the Property;

– IV-2 –

APPENDIX IV

VALUATION REPORT OF THE PROPERTY

  • . the occupancy of the Property;

  • . the facilities provided by the Property;

  • . the existence of any non-conformity use within the Property;

  • . the repair and maintenance conditions of the Property; and

  • . the existence of any closure order and resumption order affixed to the Property.

Limiting Conditions

No allowance has been made in our report for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the Property nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the Property is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature, which could affect its value. Our valuation have been made on the assumption that the seller sells the Property on 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.

We have relied to a very considerable extent on the information given by the Company and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as tenure, planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, particulars of occupancy, lettings, and all other relevant matters of the Property.

We have carried out inspection of the Property, both externally and internally. However, no structural survey has been made for the Property. In the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects. We are unable to report whether the buildings and structures of the Property are free of rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No test was carried out on any of the services of the buildings and structures of the Property.

We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Company. We have also sought confirmation from the Company that no material factors have been omitted from the information supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view, and we have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld.

– IV-3 –

APPENDIX IV

VALUATION REPORT OF THE PROPERTY

In valuing the Property, we have complied with all the requirements contained in Chapter 5 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and The HKIS Valuation Standards (2017 Edition) published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.

The Property has been valued in Hong Kong Dollar (HK$).

Our valuation certificate is attached herewith.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of Asset Appraisal Limited
