LETTER FROM THE BOARD

On 30 July 2021, the Vendor (an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of WOP) and WOP, as the Vendor’s guarantor, entered into the Provisional Agreement with the Purchaser, pursuant to which the Vendor agreed to sell and the Purchaser agreed to purchase (a) the entire issued share capital in the Target Company (i.e. the Sale Share); and (b) the shareholder’s loan(s) owing by the Target Company to the Vendor as at the Completion Date (i.e. the Shareholder’s Loan), at the aggregate consideration of HK$515 million (subject to adjustment) subject to the terms of the Provisional Agreement.

The Consideration was arrived at following arm’s length negotiations with the Purchaser having regard to the appraised value of the Property as at 31 March 2021 amounting to HK$480.0 million as set out in the valuation report prepared by an independent valuer, the prevailing market price of similar properties at similar locations and the prevailing rental yield as compared to the Property.

FINANCIAL IMPACT OF THE DISPOSAL

Assets and liabilities

Having taken into account the Consideration and the unaudited net asset value of the Target Company as at 30 June 2021, it is estimated that upon Completion, the total assets of the Group will decrease by approximately HK$178.0 million. The total liabilities of the Group will decrease by approximately HK$203.6 million. It is estimated that the net assets of the Group will have an increase of approximately HK$25.6 million, being the net effect of the changes of the total assets and total liabilities of the Group.

Earnings

Based on the estimated net proceeds from the Disposal (before repayment of outstanding bank loan) of approximately HK$501.9 million (as adjusted by the estimated Net Liabilities of approximately HK$3.7 million and after deducting the estimated professional fees and other related expenses of approximately HK$9.4 million) and the net asset value of the Target Company to the Group (including the Shareholder’s Loan after repayment of the principal outstanding bank loans) of approximately HK$476.3 million as at 30 June 2021, it is estimated that the Group will record a gain of approximately HK$25.6 million as a result of the Disposal. The actual gain or loss to be recorded by the Group depends on the net asset/liability value of the Target Company as at the Completion Date, which is subject to final audit to be performed by the auditors of the Company. . The net proceeds from the Disposal after deducting such sum as may be required to repay the existing mortgage over the Property will be used as general working capital of the WOP Group.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

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 undertakes strategic review of the Company’s assets from time to time with a view to maximise returns to the Shareholders. The Directors consider that the current market presents a good opportunity for the Company to realise its investment in the Target Company. Accordingly, the Directors believe that the Disposal will enable the Company to reallocate its resources into future investment opportunities and pursue other growth opportunities.

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

GENERAL

As the highest applicable percentage ratio in respect of the Disposal exceeds 25% but is less than 75%, the Disposal 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, after having made all reasonable enquiries, as at the Latest Practicable Date, no Shareholders or any of their respective associates have any material interest in the Disposal, the Provisional Agreement, the Formal Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, thus no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting at the SGM.

The SGM will be held at on Monday, 11 October 2021 for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving, among other things, the Disposal and the Formal Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. As required under the Listing Rules, votes at the SGM will be taken by way of a poll.

The register of members of the Company will be closed from Wednesday, 6 October 2021 to Monday, 11 October 2021, both dates inclusive, during which period no transfer of Share(s) will be registered. The record date for the determination of the entitlement to attend and vote at the SGM will be on Monday, 11 October 2021. In order to qualify for attending the SGM, all properly completed transfer forms accompanied by the relevant share certificate(s) must be lodged with the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong no later than Tuesday, 5 October 2021 at 4:30 p.m..

– 11 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

A form of proxy for use at the SGM is enclosed. Whether or not you are able to attend and vote at the SGM in person, please complete the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding of the SGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be). Completion and return of a form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the SGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be) should you so wish and in such case, the form of proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.

The notice of the SGM is set out on pages SGM-1 to SGM-2 of this circular.

RECOMMENDATION

For the reasons set out above, the Directors consider that the Disposal and the terms of the Formal Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors would recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions at the SGM for the approval of the Disposal and the Formal Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

3. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

As at the Latest Practicable Date and to the best knowledge of the Directors, there was no material adverse change in the financial or trading position of the Group since 31 March 2021, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Group were made up.

4. WORKING CAPITAL STATEMENT

Taking into account the financial resources available to the Group, including internally generated funds and available banking facilities of the Group, the Directors, after due and careful enquiry, are of the opinion that the Group has sufficient working capital for its present requirements, that is for at least the next 12 months from the date of publication of this circular, in the absence of unforeseeable circumstances, such as any event of force majeure occurs including without limiting the generality thereof, any act of God, war, riot, public disorder, civil commotion, fire, flood, explosion, epidemic, terrorism, strike or lock-out.

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

The Group is engaged in the businesses of the management of fresh market and treasury management. Meanwhile, it is also engaged in operation of developing residential and commercial properties for sale and investing in commercial and industrial properties for investment return and capital appreciation through its subsidiary, WOP, as well as the manufacturing and retailing of Chinese and Western pharmaceutical through its subsidiary, WYT and management and sales of properties in agricultural produce exchange markets in the PRC through its subsidiary, CAP. There is no change in the Group’s principal activities since 31 March 2021, being the date on which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Group were made up, and there is not expected to be any change to the Group’s principal business as a result of completion of the Disposal.

Hong Kong real GDP resumed appreciable year-on-year growth of 7.9% in the first quarter of 2021, led by very strong growth of exports of goods. However, the overall economic activity remained below the pre-recession level, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to hit individual segments of the economy. The Sino-US trade relationship and quantitative easing policy also introduce uncertainty to the recovery of the local economy. The rolling out of a free vaccination programme launched by the Hong Kong government and the increased public awareness are expected to ease the local pandemic situation. With the support of a low-interest rate environment and concrete demands on residential units, the property sector is expected to remain resilient over the long term.

– I-2 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

The environment for fresh market operations will become more competitive as the number of fresh markets and operators have increased and also as a result of the gradual acceptance of online shopping and delivery services. Nevertheless, the Group expects to expand its fresh market portfolio by collaborating with landlords and identifying opportunities to acquire additional fresh markets in both public and private sectors in Hong Kong to strengthen its recurring income. Moreover, the Group will also devote more resources in developing delivery services for fresh market.

The pandemic has hit the tourism market which has led to a decrease in Mainland China tourist visits, which may continue to curtail and negatively impact retail performance. It is also expected that the quarantine arrangement between Hong Kong and Mainland China will be prolonged. Nevertheless, the Hong Kong government has launched the consumption voucher scheme which will mitigate the unfavorable economic situation of Hong Kong and benefit the WYT Group as a retailer in Hong Kong. It is expected that the overall economic situation in Hong Kong will show signs of stabilisation gradually. The Group will continue to closely monitor the performance of its distribution channels and retail network and the Group will continue to leverage its brand value to strengthen its partnerships and boost its franchising model to maximise its retail exposure and lower overall operational risk and costs.

The acquisition of the CAP Group in the previous financial year has significantly expanded the Group’s presence in the fresh food market, agricultural produce exchange markets and the property development segment in Mainland China. Looking ahead, the Group will continue to build a nationwide agricultural produce exchange network by leveraging its leading position in the industry, replicable business model, advanced management system and IT infrastructure and quality customer service. Agricultural development is expected to remain one of the main development focuses of the PRC government in the next few years, and major growth in the agriculture sector is expected to be driven by the “Belt and Road Initiative”. The Group will continue to capture new business opportunities by cooperating with partners to adopt an “asset light” approach.

The Disposal will enable the WOP Group to reallocate its resources into the asset management and property investment sector, and the WOP Group will keep seeking new opportunities to broaden its portfolio for a stable recurring income base. The WOP Group will continue to monitor market changes closely and to look for and evaluate available opportunities in property acquisition and collaboration with strategic partners to strengthen the real estate business.

Since 2011, the CAP Group has been involved in a number of civil proceedings in Mainland China and Hong Kong. The key civil proceedings in Mainland China and Hong Kong in respect of the Baisazhou Acquisition are set out below:

– III-5 –

GENERAL INFORMATION

APPENDIX III

In May 2015, Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu commenced proceedings against the PRC Ministry of Commerce (“ MOFCOM ”) in the Beijing Second Intermediate People’s Court, seeking, inter alia, a direction that MOFCOM revoke its approval in respect of the Baisazhou Acquisition. It is alleged by Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu that (a) Baisazhou Agricultural forged share transfer agreements (the “ Contended Agreements ”) in relation to the Baisazhou Acquisition wherein the related consideration was understated and the manner of settlement of the consideration was inaccurately described; (b) Baisazhou Agricultural forged the related documentation for filing with MOFCOM and the Hubei Administration For Industry and Commerce (the “ Hubei AIC ”), and that such documentation and the Contended Agreements involved forged signatures; and (c) MOFCOM and the Hubei AIC approved the Baisazhou Acquisition and processed the related fillings on the basis of the above documents that are allegedly forged. In December 2015, the Beijing Second Intermediate People’s Court directed MOFCOM to reconsider its approval decision. In May 2016, MOFCOM decided that its approval issued in relation to the Contended Agreements shall not be revoked and shall remain to be in force (the “ Reconsidered Decision ”).

In August 2016, Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu commenced administrative proceedings against MOFCOM in the Beijing Second Intermediate People’s Court seeking to set aside the Reconsidered Decision. In March 2017, the Beijing Second Intermediate People’s Court dismissed the application of Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu (“ 31 March Judgment ”). On 20 December 2018, the Beijing Higher People’s Court upheld the 31 March Judgment (“ 20 December Judgment ”) and Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu applied to the Supreme People’s Court for a retrial and for dismissal of (i) the 31 March Judgment, and (ii) the 20 December Judgment, but this application was dismissed by the Supreme People’s Court on 29 December 2020. As advised by CAP’s PRC legal advisor, the approval issued by MOFCOM in 2007 in relation to the Contended Agreements shall not be revoked and remain to be in force, and the CAP Group continues to be the legal and beneficial owner of Baisazhou Agricultural. In May 2015, CAP commenced legal proceedings against Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu in the Higher People’s Court of Hubei Province (“ Hubei Court ”) seeking, inter alia, declarations and orders that the sale and purchase agreements for the Baisazhou Acquisition (the “ SPA ”) have been legally made, and that Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu shall assist Baisazhou Agricultural to discharge its contractual duties under the SPA to make the necessary filing with MOFCOM (which were subsequently withdrawn in April 2019 in light of the decisions in respect of MOFCOM’s approvals). Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu filed their counterclaim for, inter alia, the return of CAP’s 90% interest in Baisazhou Agricultural, which was dismissed by the Hubei Court in December 2019 (“ 23 December Judgment ”). In January 2020, Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu appealed against the 23 December Judgment. On 29 March 2021, the CAP Group received the judgment of the Supreme Court dated 29 December 2020 (the “ 29 December Judgment ”) which upheld the 23 December Judgment and dismissed the appeal of Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu. As advised by the PRC legal advisors of the CAP Group, according to the 23 December Judgment and the 29 December Judgment, the CAP Group continues to be the legal and beneficial owner of Baisazhou Agricultural.

GENERAL INFORMATION

APPENDIX III

  • (ii) In 2011, CAP issued a Writ of Summons in the Court of First Instance of the High Court of Hong Kong (“ CFI ”) against Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu. CAP (as purchaser) sought damages from Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu (as vendors) for their breach of various provisions of the SPA. Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu counterclaimed for, amongst others, an order that CAP do cause and/or procure the shares in Baishazhou Agricultural to be transferred back to Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu. In 2012, CAP obtained a court order from the CFI to the effect that undertakings (the “ Undertakings ”) were given by Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu not to (i) endorse, assign, transfer or negotiate the two instruments (purportedly described as promissory notes in the SPA) (the “ Instruments ”); and (ii) enforce payment in relation to the SPA by presentation of the Instruments until the final determination of these proceedings or further court order. Pursuant to the Undertakings, the Instruments will no longer fall due for payment by CAP on 5 December 2012.

The CFI handed down its judgment on 18 January 2021 awarding damages in favour of CAP for sum exceeding the sum owed under the Instruments. The CFI also ordered that the damages awarded to CAP be set-off by the sum owed under the Instruments, and that Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu not be allowed to enforce the Instruments against CAP. In effect, CAP is not required to make any payment under the Instruments to Ms. Wang or Tian Jiu. CAP is seeking legal advice for the recovery of the balance of the damages awarded to it. Further, as the counterclaim of Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu was dismissed, CAP continues to be the legal and beneficial owner of Baisazhou Agricultural. Further details regarding the civil proceedings which the CAP Group has been involved in can be found in the interim/annual reports and announcements issued by CAP.

  • (iii) On 19 October 2020, Puyang Kaiping Construction Company Limited (“ Puyang Kaiping ”) issued a writ against Puyang Hongjin Agricultural and By-Product Exchange Market Company Limited (a subsidiary of CAP, “ Puyang Hongjin ”), seeking an order from the Puyang Hualong District People’s Court (the “ Hualong Court ”) that Puyang Hongjin shall pay Puyang Kaiping RMB3,719,501.87 being construction payment together with interest. On 21 January 2021, Puyang Hongjin received the judgment of the Hualong Court dated 12 January 2020, in which the Hualong Court ordered that (1) Puyang Hongjin shall pay Puyang Kaiping RMB3,719,501.87 being construction payment and (2) in the event of default by Puyang Hongjing, interest accrued on the outstanding sum shall be doubled during the period of delayed performance.

Save as disclosed above, as at the Latest Practicable Date, no member of the Group was engaged in any litigation, claim or arbitration of material importance and there was no litigation, claim or arbitration of material importance known to the Directors to be pending or threatened against any member of the Group.
