LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Company will issue the Convertible Bonds as part of the Consideration. No application will be made for the listing of the Convertible Bonds. Application will be made to the Listing Committee for the listing of and permission to deal in the Conversion Shares.
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among others, (i) further details of the Acquisition and the issue of the Convertible Bonds; (ii) financial and other information of the Group; (iii) financial and other information of the Target Group; (iv) unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group upon Completion; and (v) the Notice of the SGM at which resolutions will be proposed to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including the issue of the Convertible Bonds together with the allotment and issue of the Conversion Shares upon the exercise of the Conversion Rights.

Principal terms of the Acquisition Agreement
Date: 1 August 2013 Parties: (1) the Company (as the Purchaser)
- (2) the Vendor
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Target Company was legally and beneficially owned as to 100% by the Vendor. To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Board, having made all reasonable enquiries, the Vendor and its ultimate beneficial owner are Independent Third Parties.
Assets to be acquired
Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, the Vendor has conditionally agreed to sell and the Purchaser has conditionally agreed to purchase the Sale Share, representing the entire issued share capital of the Target Company. The Target Company will indirectly own the Xi’an Project through the Project Companies after the Restructuring and before the Completion.
Consideration
The Consideration for the Sale Share is HK$400,000,000, which will be satisfied in the following manner:
-
(a) HK$20,000,000 had been paid by the Purchaser to the Vendor as Earnest Money pursuant to MOU II;
-
(b) Partial Payment amounting to HK$60,000,000 had been paid by the Purchaser to the Vendor within five (5) Business Days after the execution of the Acquisition Agreement;

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(c) Residual Payment amounting to HK$70,000,000 is payable by the Purchaser to the Vendor, which may, at the sole discretion of the Purchaser, be partly settled by the Purchaser on such time and days between the date of execution of the Acquisition Agreement and the Completion Date, and in any event the full amount of the Residual Payment shall be settled on or before the Completion Date; and
-
(d) HK$250,000,000 is payable by the Purchaser to the Vendor by way of issue of the Convertible Bonds to the Vendor or its nominee at Completion.
In order to maintain reasonable amount of cash flow available for the Company, when determining the Consideration, the Convertible Bonds constituted a larger proportion of the Consideration comparing to the Cash Consideration.
The remaining Cash Consideration payable by the Purchaser to the Vendor may be paid in HK$ or RMB at the exchange rate as quoted by the People’s Bank of China at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant date of payment.
The Earnest Money was funded by the internal resources of the Group and the remaining balance of the Cash Consideration will also be funded by the internal resources of the Group. Based on the management accounts of the Group, as at 31 March 2013, the Group had cash balance of approximately HK$187,756,090 which is sufficient to fund the remaining Cash Consideration under the Acquisition Agreement.
Basis of the Consideration
The Consideration was arrived at based on normal commercial terms and after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Vendor with reference to (i) the preliminary valuation of the Xi’an Project of RMB558,000,000 as at 30 April 2013 by the Valuer; (ii) the prospects of the Xi’an Project; (iii) the financial position of the Group; and (iv) other factors set out in the paragraph headed “Reasons for the Acquisition” in this circular. Based on the factors mentioned above and, in particular, the preliminary valuation of the Xi’an Project by the Valuer, the Consideration payable by the Group is considered by the Board as fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
POSSIBLE FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITION ON THE GROUP
Upon Completion, the Target Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the financial results of the Target Company will be consolidated into the financial statements of the Company. Set out below is a summary of the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Group before Completion and the Enlarged Group after Completion, prepared on the basis set out in Appendix III to this circular:
| The Group | Enlarged Group | |
|---|---|---|
| before Completion | after Completion | |
| HK$’000 | HK$’000 | |
| Total assets | 1,222,622 | 1,861,199 |
| Total liabilities | 450,221 | 971,713 |
| Net assets | 772,401 | 889,486 |
| Gearing ratio | 19.5% | 40.8% |
In light of the future prospects of the Target Group, the Directors are of the view that the Acquisition would likely have a positive impact on the future turnover and earnings of the Enlarged Group.
After the completion of the Restructuring, all debts owed by any Target Group Company to the Vendor will be waived by the Vendor or otherwise assigned to other Target Group Companies before Completion. The Directors considered that the remaining liabilities (if any) are minimal and would not affect the Company’s assessment on the Acquisition.
As the above information is for illustrative purposes only and because of its hypothetical nature, it may not give a true picture of the results and financial position of the Enlarged Group for any future financial periods or dates.
REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITION
The Company is an investment holding company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in property investment, property sub-leasing, licence fee collection business in the PRC, entertainment business, exhibition-related business and restaurant operations.
The Company has been actively seeking for investment opportunities to maximise the Shareholders’ interests. The Board considers that the Xi’an Project is a suitable investment opportunity and that the Acquisition would allow the Group to expand its core business and broaden its source of income. The Board is of the view that the terms of the Acquisition Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
IMPLICATIONS OF THE LISTING RULES
As certain applicable percentage ratios (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) exceed 25% but fall below 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction for the Company and is subject to approval by the Shareholders by way of poll pursuant to Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules at the SGM.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
Particulars of the acquisitions are set out in the Company’s announcements dated 30 April 2012, 9 May 2012 and 21 September 2012 and the circular dated 11 January 2013.
Apart from the acquisitions mentioned above, the Group’s investments in licence fee collection business were further strengthened following the conclusion of the Arbitration Proceeding. As previously disclosed in the Company’s 2012 annual report, Tian He was equally owned by Shenzhen Hua Rong and CCDDT. Tian He entered into a licensing agreement with CCDDT pursuant to which Tian He was granted an exclusive right to gain access to the Karaoke CMS owned by CCDDT to provide copyright transaction settlement services and to develop related value added services in PRC for a term of 10 years from 15 July 2007. The system connects its data centre to karaoke box to supervise and keep track of music videos played in karaoke box. There were delays in rollout of copyright licence fees settlement and collection services in respect of karaoke music works and videos in various provinces in PRC as a result of the disagreement with CCDDT in respect of the operation and future development of the business. On 22 June 2011, Shenzhen Hua Rong commenced the Arbitration Proceeding. The arbitration tribunal granted an arbitral award on 30 July 2012, in which it was ruled that the Shareholders’ Agreement and the Share Transfer Agreement would be terminated and CCDDT would also return the 20% interest to Shenzhen Hua Rong. The said transfer was completed during the year.
The licence fee enforcement business was disrupted intermittently as a result of the Arbitration Proceeding between the shareholders of Tian He, which adversely affected the revenue generated from the business. For the year under review, the business recorded a turnover of HK$65 million (2012: HK$74 million) and a profit of HK$42 million (2012: loss of HK$34 million). The decrease in loss of the business was attributable to the recognition of a gain on step acquisition of jointly controlled entities of approximately HK$5 million and a gain on bargain purchase of 20% interests in the registered capital of Tian He of approximately HK$36 million during the year. Also, there was a decrease in the amortisation of deferred expenditure as a result of a drop in payment to copyright holders during the year. Following the Arbitration Proceeding, the Directors were committed to improving the operation of copyright licence fee settlement and collection. The key strategies of the Group were: (i) to strengthen the licence fee collection teams for sourcing licences and arrange for fee collection in various provinces and cities in the PRC; (ii) to raise the income target of Tian He; (iii) to build up Tian He’s strategic partnership relations with other local partners; and (iv) to promote Tian He’s brand name and strengthen its brand recognition in the licence fee collection business in the PRC.
The Directors were confident of the business potential in the intellectual property enforcement services and the collection of copyright fees for content distribution of karaoke music works in the PRC. The Directors were of the view that the licence fee collection business would improve and generate positive cash inflow to the Group.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
(d) Hotel operations
The Group operated the Dynasty Hotel in Zhaoqing, the PRC. The business recorded a turnover of HK$58 million and a loss of HK$49 million. The loss was mainly attributable to the impairment of loss on property, plant and equipment of HK$1 million, depreciation of its assets of HK$16 million and impairment loss and amortisation of payments for leasehold land held for own use under operating leases of approximately HK$16 million in total. Owing to keen competition in the hotel industry, it was within the Director’s expectation that the operation of the hotel would remain challenging.
On 19 April 2013, the Group entered into a conditional share transfer and assignment of shareholder’s loan agreement with Eternal Nice (Hong Kong) Limited, an independent third party, for the disposal of Wellrich Investments Limited (“ Wellrich ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group which holds 94% of the registered capital of the Zhaoqing Star-Lake Club which in turn holds the Dynasty Hotel for a consideration of RMB150 million (subject to adjustment).

For the year ended 31 March 2013, this business contributed a turnover of HK$4 million and incurred a loss of HK$6 million.
(g) Sub-leasing business
On 27 May 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with HaoRan Cultural Development Limited pursuant to which the Company had acquired the entire issued share capital of BoRen.

The Company will receive compensation payment if the profit guarantee offered by the vendor and the guarantor under the agreement for the three financial years ended 31 December 2015 shall be less than RMB75 million. The compensation payment is, however, only payable if the Company shall procure to advance not less than RMB50 million to the group companies for each of the three financial years (totally RMB150 million).
The Company has not so far made any advancement to the group companies under the agreement with the vendor as the Company would like to focus its resources on investments which offer better prospects and return. The Company would be required to make the first advancement in September this year under the agreement.
Prospects
During the year, the Group settled the dispute with CCDDT following the conclusion of the Arbitration Proceeding and increased the investment notably in licence fee collection business in the PRC.

The overall licence fee collection business will gradually yield income to the Group.

APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
Due to the adjustment of investment strategies, the Group disposed of several investment properties and the Dynasty Hotel in Zhaoqing. These disposal brought in positive cash flow and allowed the Group to reallocate the financial resources to other investment opportunities which may generate a better return. The Directors will continue to explore other potential investment opportunities so as to broaden the business horizon of the Company and the Directors do not rule out the possibility of making further investment in property market and hotel business in the foreseeable future if attractive investment opportunity arises.
Notwithstanding that net current liabilities of HK$7.4 million were recorded for the year ended 31 March 2013, the Group has a strong financial backup on strength of a net asset value of HK$772 million. The liquidity of the Group will be substantially improved upon receipt of the remaining balance of the sale proceeds generated from the disposal of Wellrich. The management will continue to look for suitable investment opportunities for the Group.

All companies comprising the Longisland BVI Group adopt 31 December as their financial year end date. As at the date of this report, no audited financial statements of the Target Company have been prepared since its date of incorporation as there are no statutory audit requirements in the country of its jurisdiction. We have not acted as auditor of the Target Company nor its subsidiaries for the Relevant Periods referred to in this report.
For the purpose of this report, the sole director of the Target Company has prepared the financial statements of the Longisland BVI Group for the Relevant Periods (the “Underlying Financial Statements”) in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 4 of Section II below which comply with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”) based on the audited financial statements or, where appropriate, unaudited management accounts of the companies now comprising the Longisland BVI Group.
The Financial Information has been prepared by the sole director of the Target Company based on the Underlying Financial Statements. No adjustments on the Underlying Financial Statements for the Relevant Periods are considered necessary for the purpose of preparing the Financial Information.
The sole director of the Target Company is responsible for the contents of the circular including the preparation and the true and fair presentation of the Financial Information in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 4 of Section II below which comply with HKFRSs, the applicable disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”), and for such internal control as the sole director of the Target Company determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

For the purpose of this report, we have carried out audit procedures in respect of the Underlying Financial Statements in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA and have examined the Financial Information and carried out appropriate procedures as we considered necessary in accordance with Auditing Guideline 3.340 “Prospectuses and the Reporting Accountant” issued by the HKICPA.

APPENDIX II
OPINION
In our opinion, the Financial Information, for the purpose of this report, gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Longisland BVI Group and of the Target Company as at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 and 31 May 2013 and of the Longisland BVI Group’s losses and cash flows for each of the Relevant Periods in accordance with HKFRSs.
EMPHASIS OF MATTER
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to note 3(b) of Section II below which indicates that the Longisland BVI Group had net current liabilities of HK$30,402, HK$36,307, HK$749,461 and HK$768,231 as at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 and 31 May 2013 respectively while the Target Company had net current liabilities of HK$11,087, HK$16,791, HK$22,670 and HK$27,849 as at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 and 31 May 2013 respectively. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Longisland BVI Group’s and the Target Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
CORRESPONDING FINANCIAL INFORMATION
For the purpose of this report, we have also performed a review of the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information, which is prepared in accordance with the accounting polices set out in note 4 of Section II below which comply with HKFRSs, 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 sole director of the Target Company is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 4 of Section II below which comply with HKFRSs, the applicable disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Listing Rules. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information based on our review. A review principally consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures to the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information. 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 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information.
REVIEW CONCLUSION
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information, for the purpose of this report, is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the same basis adopted in respect of the Financial Information.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
- II. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND THE 31 MAY 2012 CORRESPONDING INFORMATION
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
The Target Company is a limited liability company incorporated in the BVI on 16 March 2010. Its registered office and its principal place of business are located at Palm Grove House, P.O. Box 438, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands and Suites 1605A, Office Tower, Convention Plaza, 1 Harbour Road, Waichai, Hong Kong respectively. The Target Company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in investment holding. There were no significant changes in the nature of the Longisland BVI Group’s principal activities during the Relevant Periods.
The sole director considers that the Target Company’s immediate and ultimate holding company was Longisland Investment Group Ltd., a limited liability company incorporated in the BVI, during the Relevant Periods. On 12 June 2013, Bliss Zone Limited, a limited liability company incorporated in the BVI, became the Target Company’s immediate and ultimate holding company.
2. ADOPTION OF NEW OR AMENDED HKFRSs
All HKFRSs effective for the accounting period commencing from 1 January 2013, together with the relevant transitional provisions, have been adopted by the Longisland BVI Group in the preparation of the Financial Information and the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information.
At the date of this report, certain new and amended HKFRSs have been published but are not yet effective, and have not been early adopted by the Longisland BVI Group.

-
2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015
The Longisland BVI Group is in the process of making an assessment of the potential impact of these pronouncements. The sole director of the Target Company so far concluded that the application of these pronouncements will have no material impact on the Longisland BVI Group’s results of operation and financial position.
3. BASIS OF PREPARATION
(a) Statement of compliance
The Financial Information and the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information set out in this report have been prepared in accordance with all applicable HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA and have been consistently applied throughout the Relevant Periods. The Financial Information and the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information also comply with the applicable disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Listing Rules.
(b) Basis of measurement and going concern assumption
The Financial Information and the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information have been prepared under the historical cost basis.
The Financial Information has been prepared on the going concern basis notwithstanding the Longisland BVI Group had net current liabilities of HK$30,402, HK$36,307, HK$749,461 and HK$768,231 as at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 and 31 May 2013 respectively while the Target Company had net current liabilities of HK$11,087, HK$16,791, HK$22,670 and HK$27,849 as at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 and 31 May 2013 respectively. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Longisland BVI Group’s and the Target Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the Longisland BVI Group and the Target Company may not be able to realise their
– 53 –

APPENDIX II
assets and discharge their liabilities in the normal course of business. The sole director of the Target Company is of the opinion that taking into account the estimated future funds, the Longisland BVI Group and the Target Company have sufficient financial resources to meet their financial obligation as they fall due for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis.
(c) Functional and presentation currency
The Financial Information and the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information are presented in Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”), which is the same as the functional currency of the Target Company.
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Business combination and basis of consolidation
The Financial Information and the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information comprise the financial statements of the Target Company and its subsidiaries. Inter-company transactions and balances between group companies together with unrealised profits are eliminated in full in preparing the Financial Information and the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of impairment on the asset transferred, in which case the loss is recognised in profit or loss.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income from the dates of acquisition or up to the dates of disposal, as appropriate. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with those used by other members of the Longisland BVI Group.
(b) Subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity) controlled by the Target Company and/or its other subsidiaries. The Longisland BVI Group controls an investee when the Longisland BVI Group has (1) power over the investee, (2) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and (3) the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee (i.e., the existing rights that give the Longisland BVI Group the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee).
The Longisland BVI Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the elements of control described above.
In the Target Company’s statements of financial position, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less impairment loss. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Target Company on the basis of dividend received and receivable.
(c) Impairment of non-financial assets
At the end of each of the Relevant Periods, the Target Company reviews the carrying amounts of the investments in subsidiaries to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss or an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased.
If the recoverable amount (i.e. the greater of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use) of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.
– 54 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
(d) Financial Instruments
(i) Financial assets
The Longisland BVI Group classifies its financial assets at initial recognition, depending on the purpose for which the asset was acquired. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially measured at fair value and all other financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets. Regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. A regular way purchase or sale is a purchase or sale of a financial asset under a contract whose terms require delivery of the asset within the time frame established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned.
Loans and receivables
These assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise principally through the provision of goods and services to customers (trade debtors), and also incorporate other types of contractual monetary asset. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses.
(ii) Impairment loss on financial assets
The Longisland BVI Group assesses, at the end of each of the Relevant Periods, whether there is any objective evidence that financial asset is impaired. Financial asset is impaired if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include:
-
(i) significant financial difficulty of the debtor;
-
(ii) a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
-
(iii) granting concession to a debtor because of debtor’s financial difficulty; and
-
(iv) it becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation.
For loans and receivables
An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of financial asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When any part of financial asset is determined as uncollectable, it is written off against the allowance account for the relevant financial asset.
Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the asset’s recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to a restriction that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
(iii) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities, including accrued liabilities and other payables and amounts due to holding company and related companies, are initially recognised at fair value, net of directly attributable transaction costs incurred, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. The related interest expense is recognised within “finance costs” in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
(iv) Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of allocating interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments through the expected life of the financial asset or liability, or where appropriate, a shorter period.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
(v) Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the Target Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
(vi) Derecognition
The Longisland BVI Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the future cash flows in relation to the financial asset expire or when the financial asset has been transferred and the transfer meets the criteria for derecognition in accordance with HKAS 39.
Financial liabilities are decognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.
(e) Revenue recognition
Service income is recognised when services are rendered.
Interest income is accrued on a time basis on the principal outstanding at the applicable interest rate.
(f) Income taxes
Income taxes for the period/year comprise current tax and deferred tax.
Current tax is based on the profit or loss from ordinary activities adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowable for income tax purposes and is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of each of the Relevant Periods.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for tax purposes. Except for goodwill and recognised assets and liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profits, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates appropriate to the expected manner in which the carrying amount of the asset or liability is realised or settled and that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of each of the Relevant Periods.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the Longisland BVI Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Income taxes are recognised in profit or loss except when they relate to items recognised in other comprehensive income in which case the taxes are also recognised in other comprehensive income.
(g) Foreign currency
Transactions entered into by group entities in currencies other than the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate (the “functional currency”) are recorded at the rates ruling when the transactions occur. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates ruling at the end of reporting period. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
– 56 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period except for differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income, in which cases, the exchange differences are also recognised in other comprehensive income.
On consolidation, income and expense items of foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Longisland BVI Group at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during the period, in which case, the rates approximating, to those ruling when the transactions took place are used. All assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at the rate ruling at the end of each of the Relevant Periods. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity as foreign exchange reserve (attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate). Exchange differences recognised in the profit or loss of group entities’ separate or individual financial statements on the translation of long-term monetary items forming part of the Longisland BVI Group’s net investment in the foreign operation concerned are reclassified to other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity as foreign exchange reserve.
On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative exchange differences recognised in the foreign exchange reserve relating to that operation up to the date of disposal are reclassified to the profit or loss as part of the profit or loss on disposal.
(h) Employee benefits
(i) Employee leave entitlements
Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the end of reporting period.
Employee entitlements to sick leave and maternity leave are not recognised until the time of leave.
(ii) Termination benefits
Termination benefits are recognised when, and only when, the Longisland BVI Group demonstrably commits itself to terminate employment or to provide benefits as a result of voluntary redundancy by having a detailed formal plan which is without realistic possibility of withdrawal.
(iii) Post-employment benefits
Retirement benefits to employees are provided through several defined contribution plans.
The employees of the Longisland BVI Group’s subsidiaries that operate in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) are required to participate in a government-managed retirement benefit schemes. These subsidiaries are required to contribute a fixed cost per employee to the government-managed retirement benefit schemes. The contributions are charged to profit or loss as they become payable.
(i) Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the Longisland BVI Group has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, which will probably result in an outflow of economic benefits that can be reasonably estimated.
Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, the existence of which will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events, are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATED UNCERTAINTY
Estimates are evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The key assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:
(a) Impairment loss on loans and receivables
The policy for impairment of loans and receivables of the Longisland BVI Group is based on the evaluation of collectability and ageing analysis of the loans and receivables and on management’s judgment. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these loans and receivables, including the current creditworthiness of each debtor. If the financial conditions of debtors of the Longisland BVI Group were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional impairment may be required.
– 58 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
(b) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Longisland BVI Group assesses impairment at the end of each of the Relevant Periods by evaluating conditions specific to the Longisland BVI Group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions about future events, which are subject to uncertainty and might materially differ from the actual results. In making these key estimates and judgments, the sole director takes into consideration assumptions that are mainly based on market condition existing at the end of each of the Relevant Periods and appropriate market and discount rates. These estimates are regularly compared to actual market data and actual transactions entered into by the Longisland BVI Group.
6. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Longisland BVI Group did not generate any revenue during the Relevant Periods. No operating segment analysis is provided as the Longisland BVI Group has no business operation since the respective dates of incorporation of the Target Company and its subsidiaries.

The credit risk on bank deposits is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.
(b) Liquidity risk
The Longisland BVI Group’s objective is to ensure there are adequate funds to meet commitments associated with its financial liabilities. Cash flows of the Longisland BVI Group are closely monitored by the sole director on an ongoing basis.

APPENDIX II
(c) Interest rate risk
The Longisland BVI Group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk due to the fluctuation of the prevailing market interest rate on bank balances. The sole director of the Target Company considers that the Longisland BVI Group’s interest rate risk is minimal.
(d) Currency risk
The Longisland BVI Group mainly operates in Hong Kong and the PRC with most of the transactions settled in their respective functional currencies in which the group entities operate. Therefore, the Longisland BVI Group does not have significant exposure to risk resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
(e) Fair values
The fair values of the Longisland BVI Group’s financial assets and liabilities are not materially different from their carrying amounts because of the immediate or short term maturities.
21. SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES BY CATEGORY

22. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Longisland BVI Group’s objectives of managing capital are to safeguard the Longisland BVI Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholder and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce cost of capital.
Saved as disclosed in note 3(b), in order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Longisland BVI Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholder, return capital to shareholder, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debts.
The capital structure of the Longisland BVI Group consists of equity attributable to owner of the Target Company, comprising share capital and reserves. The amounts of capital deficiencies were HK$30,402, HK$36,307, HK$749,461 and HK$768,231 as at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 and 31 May 2013 respectively.

In the opinion of sole director of the Target Company, the initial accounting for the business combination is incomplete as the financial information of Longisland Beijing is not ready at this time.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
Longisland Beijing was established in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) on 5 November 2010 with a registered capital of RMB3,000,000. Its registered office is located at Club A-303, Zone A, Baiziyuan, No. 16 Baiziwan Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, the PRC (北京市朝陽區百子灣路16號百子園A區會所A-303). Longisland Beijing is principally engaged in investment holding during the Relevant Periods.
At the date of this report, Longisland Beijing has direct interests in subsidiaries as set out in note 12 of Section II below. All companies comprising the Longisland Beijing Group adopt 31 December as their financial year end date. The statutory financial statements of Longisland Beijing prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles of the PRC for the period from 5 November 2010 (date of establishment) to 31 December 2010 have been audited by Beijing Shangyuandaohe Certified Public Accountants Co., Ltd. (北京上元道和會 計師事務所有限公司). No audited financial statements for the years ended 31 December 2011 and 2012 have been prepared. We have not acted as auditor of Longisland Beijing nor its subsidiaries for the Relevant Periods referred to in this report.
For the purpose of this report, the sole director of Longisland Beijing has prepared the financial statements of the Longisland Beijing Group for the Relevant Periods (the “Underlying Financial Statements”) in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 4 of Section II below which comply with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”) based on the audited financial statements or, where appropriate, unaudited management accounts of the companies now comprising the Longisland Beijing Group.
The Financial Information has been prepared by the sole director of Longisland Beijing based on the Underlying Financial Statements. No adjustments on the Underlying Financial Statements for the Relevant Periods are considered necessary for the purpose of preparing the Financial Information.
The sole director of Longisland Beijing is responsible for the contents of the circular including the preparation and the true and fair presentation of the Financial Information in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 4 of Section II below which comply with HKFRSs, the applicable disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”), and for such internal control as the sole director of Longisland Beijing determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Our responsibility is to form an independent opinion on the Financial Information based on our procedures and to report our opinion thereon to you.
For the purpose of this report, we have carried out audit procedures in respect of the Underlying Financial Statements in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA and have examined the Financial Information and carried out appropriate procedures as we considered necessary in accordance with Auditing Guideline 3.340 “Prospectuses and the Reporting Accountant” issued by the HKICPA.

APPENDIX II
OPINION
In our opinion, the Financial Information, for the purpose of this report, gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Longisland Beijing Group and of Longisland Beijing as at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 and 31 May 2013 and of the Longisland Beijing Group’s losses and cash flows for each of the Relevant Periods in accordance with HKFRSs.
EMPHASIS OF MATTER
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to note 3(b) of Section II below which indicates that the Longisland Beijing Group and Longisland Beijing had net current liabilities of RMB17,303,456 and RMB17,303,456 as at 31 May 2013 respectively. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Longisland Beijing Group’s and Longisland Beijing’s ability to continue as a going concern.
CORRESPONDING FINANCIAL INFORMATION
For the purpose of this report, we have also performed a review of the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information, which is prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 4 of Section II below which comply with HKFRSs, 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 sole director of Longisland Beijing is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 4 of Section II below which comply with HKFRSs, the applicable disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Listing Rules. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information based on our review. A review principally consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures to the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information. 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 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information.
REVIEW CONCLUSION
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information, for the purpose of this report, is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the same basis adopted in respect of the Financial Information.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
II. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND THE 31 MAY 2012 CORRESPONDING INFORMATION
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
Longisland Beijing was established in the PRC on 5 November 2010. Its registered office and its principal place of business are located at Club A-303, Zone A, Baiziyuan, No. 16 Baiziwan Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, the PRC (北京市朝陽區百子灣路16號百子園A區會所A-303). Longisland Beijing is principally engaged in investment holding.
The sole director considers that Longisland Beijing’s immediate and ultimate holding company were 長島 (北 京) 投資有限公司 (Longisland (Beijing) Investment Company Limited*), a limited liability company established in the PRC, and Longisland Investment Group Ltd., a limited liability company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, respectively during the Relevant Periods.
On 12 July 2013, 北京譽祥時代科技有限公司 (Beijing Yuxiang Times Technology Limited*) (“Beijing Yuxiang”), a limited liability company established in the PRC and indirectly owned by Longisland Tourism Investment & Development Limited, acquired 100% equity interests in Longisland Beijing. Since then, Longisland Beijing’s immediate and ultimate holding company become Beijing Yuxiang and Bliss Zone Limited, a limited liability company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, respectively.
2. ADOPTION OF NEW OR AMENDED HKFRSS
All HKFRSs effective for the accounting period commencing from 1 January 2013, together with the relevant transitional provisions, have been adopted by the Longisland Beijing Group in the preparation of the Financial Information and the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information.
At the date of this report, certain new and amended HKFRSs have been published but are not yet effective, and have not been early adopted by the Longisland Beijing Group.
Amendments to HKAS 32 Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities[1] HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments[2] HK (IFRIC) – Int 2 Levies[1]
1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014
2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015
The Longisland Beijing Group is in the process of making an assessment of the potential impact of these pronouncements. The sole director of Longisland Beijing so far concluded that the application of these pronouncements will have no material impact on the Longisland Beijing Group’s results of operation and financial position.
3. BASIS OF PREPARATION
(a) Statement of compliance
The Financial Information and the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information set out in this report have been prepared in accordance with all applicable HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA and have been consistently applied throughout the Relevant Periods. The Financial Information and the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information also comply with the applicable disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Listing Rules.
(b) Basis of measurement and going concern assumption
The Financial Information and the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information have been prepared under the historical cost basis.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
The Financial Information has been prepared on the going concern basis notwithstanding the Longisland Beijing Group and Longisland Beijing had net current liabilities of RMB17,303,456 and RMB17,303,456 as at 31 May 2013 respectively. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Longisland Beijing Group’s and Longisland Beijing’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the Longisland Beijing Group and Longisland Beijing may not be able to realise their assets and discharge their liabilities in the normal course of business. The sole director of Longisland Beijing is of the opinion that taking into account the estimated future funds, the Longisland Beijing Group and Longisland Beijing had sufficient financial resources to meet their financial obligation as they fall due for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis.
(c) Functional and presentation currency
The Financial Information and the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is the same as the functional currency of Longisland Beijing.
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Business combination and basis of consolidation
The Financial Information and the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information comprise the financial statements of Longisland Beijing and its subsidiaries. Inter-company transactions and balances between group companies together with unrealised profits are eliminated in full in preparing the Financial Information and the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of impairment on the asset transferred, in which case the loss is recognised in profit or loss.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income from the effective dates of acquisition or up to the effective dates of disposal, as appropriate. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Longisland Beijing Group.
When the Longisland Beijing Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interest. Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are accounted for in the same manner as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of.
(b) Subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity) controlled by Longisland Beijing and/or its other subsidiaries. The Longisland Beijing Group controls an investee when the Longisland Beijing Group has (1) power over the investee, (2) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and (3) the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee (i.e., the existing rights that give the Longisland Beijing Group the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee).
The Longisland Beijing Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the elements of control described above.
In Longisland Beijing’s statements of financial position, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less impairment loss. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by Longisland Beijing on the basis of dividend received and receivable.
(c) Impairment of non-financial assets
At the end of each of the Relevant Periods, Longisland Beijing reviews the carrying amounts of the investments in subsidiaries to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss or an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased.
If the recoverable amount (i.e. the greater of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use) of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.
– 78 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.
(d) Deposits for properties under development
Deposits for properties under development represented the payments for the property development projects. Deposits for properties under development are initially recognised at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, deposits for properties under development are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
(e) Financial Instruments
(i) Financial assets
The Longisland Beijing Group classifies its financial assets at initial recognition, depending on the purpose for which the asset was acquired. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially measured at fair value and all other financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets. Regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. A regular way purchase or sale is a purchase or sale of a financial asset under a contract whose terms require delivery of the asset within the time frame established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned.
Loans and receivables
These assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise principally through the provision of goods and services to customers (trade debtors), and also incorporate other types of contractual monetary asset. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses.
(ii) Impairment loss on financial assets
The Longisland Beijing Group assesses, at the end of each of the Relevant Periods, whether there is any objective evidence that financial asset is impaired. Financial asset is impaired if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include:
-
(i) significant financial difficulty of the debtor;
-
(ii) a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
-
(iii) granting concession to a debtor because of debtor’s financial difficulty; and
-
(iv) it becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation.
For loans and receivables
An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of financial asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When any part of financial asset is determined as uncollectable, it is written off against the allowance account for the relevant financial asset.
Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the asset’s recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to a restriction that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
– 79 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
(iii) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities, including other payables and amounts due to holding company and fellow subsidiaries, are initially recognised at fair value, net of directly attributable transaction costs incurred, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. The related interest expense is recognised within “finance costs” in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
(iv) Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of allocating interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments through the expected life of the financial asset or liability, or where appropriate, a shorter period.
(v) Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by Longisland Beijing are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
(vi) Financial guarantee contracts
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. A financial guarantee contract issued by the Longisland Beijing Group and not designated as at fair value through profit or loss is recognised initially at its fair value less transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of the financial guarantee contract. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Longisland Beijing Group measures the financial guarantee contact at the higher of: (i) the amount determined in accordance with HKAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets ; and (ii) the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation recognised in accordance with HKAS 18 Revenue .
(vii) Derecognition
The Longisland Beijing Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the future cash flows in relation to the financial asset expire or when the financial asset has been transferred and the transfer meets the criteria for derecognition in accordance with HKAS 39.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
(f) Revenue recognition
Interest income is accrued on a time basis on the principal outstanding at the applicable interest rate.
(g) Income taxes
Income taxes for the period/year comprise current tax and deferred tax.
Current tax is based on the profit or loss from ordinary activities adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowable for income tax purposes and is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of each of the Relevant Periods.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for tax purposes. Except for goodwill and recognised assets and liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profits, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates appropriate to the expected manner in which the carrying amount of the asset or liability is realised or settled and that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of each of the Relevant Periods.
– 80 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the Longisland Beijing Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Income taxes are recognised in profit or loss except when they relate to items recognised in other comprehensive income in which case the taxes are also recognised in other comprehensive income.
(h) Employee benefits
(i) Employee leave entitlements
Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the end of reporting period.
Employee entitlements to sick leave and maternity leave are not recognised until the time of leave.
(ii) Termination benefits
Termination benefits are recognised when, and only when, the Longisland Beijing Group demonstrably commits itself to terminate employment or to provide benefits as a result of voluntary redundancy by having a detailed formal plan which is without realistic possibility of withdrawal.
(iii) Post-employment benefits
Retirement benefits to employees are provided through several defined contribution plans.
The employees of the Longisland Beijing Group’s subsidiaries that operate in the PRC are required to participate in a government-managed retirement benefit schemes. These subsidiaries are required to contribute a fixed cost per employee to the government-managed retirement benefit schemes. The contributions are charged to profit or loss as they become payable.
(i) Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the Longisland Beijing Group has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, which will probably result in an outflow of economic benefits that can be reasonably estimated.
Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, the existence of which will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events, are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATED UNCERTAINTY
Estimates are evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The key assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:
(a) Impairment loss of loans and receivables
The policy for impairment of loans and receivables of the Longisland Beijing Group is based on the evaluation of collectability and ageing analysis of the loans and receivables and on management’s judgment. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these loans and receivables, including the current creditworthiness of each debtor. If the financial conditions of debtors of the Longisland Beijing Group were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional impairment may be required.
(b) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Longisland Beijing Group assesses impairment at the end of each of the Relevant Periods by evaluating conditions specific to the Longisland Beijing Group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions about future events, which are subject to uncertainty and might materially differ from the actual results. In making these key estimates and judgments, the sole director takes into consideration assumptions that are mainly based on market condition existing at the end of each of the Relevant Periods and appropriate market and discount rates. These estimates are regularly compared to actual market data and actual transactions entered into by the Longisland Beijing Group.
(c) Impairment loss on deposits for properties under development
The carrying amounts of deposits for properties under development are reviewed periodically in order to assess whether the recoverable amounts have declined below the carrying amounts. These assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their recorded carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When such a decline has occurred, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount. The Longisland Beijing Group uses all readily available information in determining an amount that is a reasonable approximation of recoverable amount, including estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumption.

22. LOSS OF CONTROL OF SUBSIDIARIES
On 15 January 2013, Longisland Beijing signed an agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Financial Institution, pursuant to which Longisland Beijing obtained a loan, which was non-interest bearing and repayable on demand, of approximately RMB55 million from the Financial Institution and in return transferred 100% equity interests in Xi’an Hengye and Xi’an Green River to the Financial Institution as collateral to secure the repayment obligation. Longisland Beijing has the right to request the Financial Institution to transfer back the 100% equity interests in Xi’an Hengye and Xi’an Green River and release the financial guarantee as specified in note 23 (the “Right”), so long as Longisland Beijing repays the outstanding loan and fulfils certain requirements relating to other property development projects which financial arrangements have been made with the Financial Institution. The other property development projects are owned by then fellow subsidiaries of Longisland Beijing. These requirements are imposed on the exercise of the Right by Longisland Beijing as, by doing so, the Financial Institution expects the development progress of the other property development projects would be accelerated. In the opinion of the sole director of Longisland Beijing, the completion of these requirements is not controllable by Longisland Beijing as it is subject to local government approvals.
On 18 March 2013 and 4 March 2013, Longisland Beijing legally transferred 100% equity interests in Xi’an Hengye and Xi’an Green River to the Financial Institution. The sole director of Xi’an Hengye and Xi’an Green River was appointed by the Financial Institution on the same day.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
HKFRS 10, which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, identifies the concept of control as determining factor for whether an entity should be included in the consolidated financial statements of the parent company. An investor controls an investee when the investor has power over the investee, is exposed to or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. To determine whether control exists as at 31 May 2013, the Longisland Beijing Group has considered the following factors in accordance with HKFRS 10:
-
The power over an investee to direct the relevant activities that significantly affect the investee’s return was granted to the Financial Institution as 100% equity interests in Xi’an Hengye and Xi’an Green River have been transferred to the Financial Institution. The Financial Institution is able to appoint directors of Xi’an Hengye and Xi’an Green River, and thus is able to direct all major business decisions of Xi’an Hengye and Xi’an Green River. Further, the Financial Institution is able to cast the majority of votes at shareholder meetings.
-
The Financial Institution is the sole shareholder of Xi’an Hengye and Xi’an Green River as at 31 May 2013. The Financial Institution is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with Xi’an Hengye and Xi’an Green River as the Financial Institution’s returns from its involvement have the potential to vary as a result of Xi’an Hengye’s and Xi’an Green River’s performance.
-
The Financial Institution has the ability to use its power over Xi’an Hengye and Xi’an Green River to affect the amount of its returns as it exercises its power over Xi’an Hengye and Xi’an Green River on its own behalf and for its own benefit. The Financial Institution has complete decision making authority over Xi’an Hengye and Xi’an Green River and the Financial Institution’s decisions will significantly affect the amount of its returns.
As mentioned above, as Longisland Beijing cannot ensure fulfillment of the requirements relating to the other property development projects in which financial arrangements have been made with the Financial Institution in order to exercise the Right, Longisland Beijing does not have substative potential voting rights in Xi’an Hengye and Xi’an Green River as at 31 May 2013.
Based on the above assessment, the sole director of Longisland Beijing is of the view that Longisland Beijing lost the control in Xi’an Hengye and Xi’an Green River. Accordingly, Xi’an Hengye and Xi’an Green River were not accounted for as subsidiaries of Longisland Beijing for accounting purpose as at 31 May 2013.
- (a) The net assets of Xi’an Hengye at the date of loss of control are as follows:
| RMB | |
|---|---|
| Deposits for properties under development, prepayments and other receivables | 54,450,768 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 5,033,905 |
| Other payables | (32,780,674) |

23. FINANCIAL GUARANTEE CONTRACTS
On 15 January 2013, each of Xi’an Hengye and Xi’an Green River, the subsidiaries of Longisland Beijing, signed agreements to provide corporate guarantees each to the extent of approximately RMB541,400,000 to the Financial Institution in connection with the loan facilities granted by the Financial Institution to fellow subsidiaries. Under the guarantees, Xi’an Hengye and Xi’an Green River would be liable to pay the Financial Institution if the Financial Institution is unable to recover the loans. As Longisland Beijing has lost its control over Xi’an Hengye and Xi’an Green River as disclosed in note 22, no provision for obligation under the guarantee contracts have been made as at 31 May 2013.
24. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
As mentioned in note 21, the Longisland Beijing Group acquired the entire interests in Xi’an Green River from a fellow subsidiary. The transaction is considered as related party transaction.
25. MAJOR NON-CASH TRANSACTION
On 13 January 2013, the Longisland Beijing Group acquired the entire interests in Xi’an Green River from a fellow subsidiary which was a non-cash transaction (note 21).
26. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Exposure to credit, liquidity and interest rate risks arises in the normal course of the Longisland Beijing Group’s business.
Policy for managing these risks is set by the sole director. The policy for each of the above risks is described in more detail below.
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparties will default on their contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Longisland Beijing Group. The Longisland Beijing Group exposes to credit risk from loans and receivables. The Longisland Beijing Group has adopted a credit policy to monitor and mitigate credit risk arising from its debtors. Credit limit is regularly reviewed and approved by the sole director. The Longisland Beijing Group assesses credit risk based on debtors’ past due records, trading history, financial conditions or credit ratings. The Longisland Beijing Group is not exposed to concentration of credit risk.
The credit risk on bank deposits is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

establishment) to 31 December 2010 and for the years ended 31 December 2011 and 2012 have been audited by Shaanxi Xiqin Jinzhou Certified Public Accountants Co., Ltd. (陝西西秦金周 會計師事務所有限責任公司). We have not acted as auditor of Xi’an Hengye for the Relevant Periods referred to in this report.
For the purpose of this report, the sole director of Xi’an Hengye has prepared the financial statements of Xi’an Hengye for the Relevant Periods (the “Underlying Financial Statements”) in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 4 of Section II below which comply with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”) based on the audited financial statements or, where appropriate, unaudited management accounts of Xi’an Hengye.
The Financial Information has been prepared by the sole director of Xi’an Hengye based on the Underlying Financial Statements. No adjustments on the Underlying Financial Statements for the Relevant Periods are considered necessary for the purpose of preparing the Financial Information.
The sole director of Xi’an Hengye is responsible for the contents of the circular including the preparation and the true and fair presentation of the Financial Information in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 4 of Section II below which comply with HKFRSs, the applicable disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”), and for such internal control as the sole director of Xi’an Hengye determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Our responsibility is to form an independent opinion on the Financial Information based on our procedures and to report our opinion thereon to you.
For the purpose of this report, we have carried out audit procedures in respect of the Underlying Financial Statements in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA and have examined the Financial Information and carried out appropriate procedures as we considered necessary in accordance with Auditing Guideline 3.340 “Prospectuses and the Reporting Accountant” issued by the HKICPA.
OPINION
In our opinion, the Financial Information, for the purpose of this report, gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of Xi’an Hengye as at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 and 31 May 2013 and of its losses and cash flows for each of the Relevant Periods in accordance with HKFRSs.

CORRESPONDING FINANCIAL INFORMATION
For the purpose of this report, we have also performed a review of the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information, which is prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 4 of Section II below which comply with HKFRSs, 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 sole director of Xi’an Hengye is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 4 of Section II below which comply with HKFRSs, the applicable disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Listing Rules. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information based on our review. A review principally consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures to the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information. 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 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information.
REVIEW CONCLUSION
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information, for the purpose of this report, is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the same basis adopted in respect of the Financial Information.

- II. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND THE 31 MAY 2012 CORRESPONDING INFORMATION
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
Xi’an Hengye was established in the PRC on 3 December 2010. Its registered office and its principal place of business are located at Room 3B22, 3rd Floor, Zone B, Chanba Commercial Centre, No. 1 Chanba Road, Chanba Ecological District, Xi’an, Shaanxi, the PRC (陝西省西安滻灞生態區滻灞大道1號滻灞商務中心B段三層3B22號). Xi’an Hengye is principally engaged in real estate development.
The sole director considers that Xi’an Hengye’s immediate and ultimate holding company were 北京長島恒業 企業管理有限公司 (Beijing Longisland Hengye Enterprise Management Limited*) (“Longisland Beijing”), a limited liability company established in the PRC, and Longisland Investment Group Ltd., a limited liability company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, respectively during the Relevant Periods. On 18 March 2013, a financial institution (the “Financial Institution”), a limited company incorporated in the PRC, obtained 100% equity interests in Xi’an Hengye and became Xi’an Hengye’s immediate and ultimate holding company.
2. ADOPTION OF NEW OR AMENDED HKFRSs
All HKFRSs effective for the accounting period commencing from 1 January 2013, together with the relevant transitional provisions, have been adopted by Xi’an Hengye in the preparation of the Financial Information and the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information.
At the date of this report, certain new and amended HKFRSs have been published but are not yet effective, and have not been early adopted by Xi’an Hengye.

(b) Basis of measurement
The Financial Information and the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information have been prepared under the historical cost basis.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Properties under development
Properties under development are initially recognised at cost, and subsequently at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of properties comprises land costs, development expenditure, professional fees and borrowing costs capitalised. Land costs include prepaid lease payments representing up-front payments to acquire long-term interests in lessee-occupied properties. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(b) Deposits for properties under development
Deposits for properties under development represented the payments for the property development projects. Deposits for properties under development are initially recognised at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, deposits for properties under development are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
(c) Financial instruments
(i) Financial assets
Xi’an Hengye classifies its financial assets at initial recognition, depending on the purpose for which the asset was acquired. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially measured at fair value and all other financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets. Regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. A regular way purchase or sale is a purchase or sale of a financial asset under a contract whose terms require delivery of the asset within the time frame established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned.
Loans and receivables
These assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise principally through the provision of goods and services to customers (trade debtors), and also incorporate other types of contractual monetary asset. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses.
(ii) Impairment loss on financial assets
Xi’an Hengye assesses, at the end of each of the Relevant Periods, whether there is any objective evidence that financial asset is impaired. Financial asset is impaired if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include:
-
(i) significant financial difficulty of the debtor;
-
(ii) a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
-
(iii) granting concession to a debtor because of debtor’s financial difficulty; and
-
(iv) it becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation.
For loans and receivables
An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of financial asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When any part of financial asset is determined as uncollectable, it is written off against the allowance account for the relevant financial asset.
– 103 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the asset’s recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to a restriction that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
(iii) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities, including other payables and amounts due to immediate holding company, intermediate holding company and fellow subsidiaries, are initially recognised at fair value, net of directly attributable transaction costs incurred, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. The related interest expense is recognised within “finance costs” in the statements of comprehensive income.
(iv) Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of allocating interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments through the expected life of the financial asset or liability, or where appropriate, a shorter period.
(v) Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by Xi’an Hengye are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
(vi) Financial guarantee contracts
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. A financial guarantee contract issued by Xi’an Hengye and not designated as at fair value through profit or loss is recognised initially at its fair value less transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of the financial guarantee contract. Subsequent to initial recognition, Xi’an Hengye measures the financial guarantee contact at the higher of: (i) the amount determined in accordance with HKAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets ; and (ii) the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation recognised in accordance with HKAS 18 Revenue .
(vii) Derecognition
Xi’an Hengye derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the future cash flows in relation to the financial asset expire or when the financial asset has been transferred and the transfer meets the criteria for derecognition in accordance with HKAS 39.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
(d) Revenue recognition
Interest income is accrued on a time basis on the principal outstanding at the applicable interest rate.
(e) Income taxes
Income taxes for the period/year comprise current tax and deferred tax.
Current tax is based on the profit or loss from ordinary activities adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowable for income tax purposes and is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of each of the Relevant Periods.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for tax purposes. Except for goodwill and recognised assets and liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profits, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent
– 104 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates appropriate to the expected manner in which the carrying amount of the asset or liability is realised or settled and that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of each of the Relevant Periods.
Income taxes are recognised in profit or loss except when they relate to items recognised in other comprehensive income in which case the taxes are also recognised in other comprehensive income.
(f) Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when Xi’an Hengye has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, which will probably result in an outflow of economic benefits that can be reasonably estimated.
Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, the existence of which will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events, are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.
(g) Related parties

(i) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to Xi’an Hengye if that person:

APPENDIX II
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATED UNCERTAINTY
Estimates are evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The key assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:
Impairment loss on loans and receivables
The policy for impairment of loans and receivables of Xi’an Hengye is based on the evaluation of collectability and ageing analysis of the loans and receivables and on management’s judgment. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these loans and receivables, including the current creditworthiness of each debtor. If the financial conditions of debtors of Xi’an Hengye were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional impairment may be required.
Provision for properties under development
Xi’an Hengye assesses the recoverable amounts of properties under development according to their forecast net realisable value, taking into account costs to completion based on budget and past experience and net sales value based on prevailing and expected market conditions. Provision is made when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be realised. The assessment requires the use of estimation.
Impairment loss on deposits for properties under development
The carrying amounts of deposits for properties under development are reviewed periodically in order to assess whether the recoverable amounts have declined below the carrying amounts. These assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their recorded carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When such a decline has occurred, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount. Xi’an Hengye uses all readily available information in determining an amount that is a reasonable approximation of recoverable amount, including estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumption.
6. SEGMENT INFORMATION
On adoption of HKFRS 8, Xi’an Hengye has identified its operating segments and prepared segment information based on the regular internal financial information reported to Xi’an Hengye’s sole director for his decisions about resources allocation to Xi’an Hengye’s business components and review of these components’ performance. There is only one single business component/reportable segment in the internal reporting to the sole director, which is real estate development business. Xi’an Hengye’s assets and capital expenditure are principally attributable to this business component.
No separate analysis of segment information by geographical segment is presented as Xi’an Hengye’s revenue, assets and capital expenditure are principally attributable to a single geographical region, which is the PRC.

APPENDIX II
All other receivables of Xi’an Hengye at the end of each of the Relevant Periods are non-interest bearing advances.

19. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Exposure to credit, liquidity and interest rate risks arises in the normal course of Xi’an Hengye’s business.
Policy for managing these risks is set by the sole director. The policy for each of the above risks is described in more detail below.
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparties will default on their contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to Xi’an Hengye. Xi’an Hengye exposes to credit risk from loans and receivables. Xi’an Hengye has adopted a credit policy to monitor and mitigate credit risk arising from its debtors. Credit limit is regularly reviewed and approved by the sole director. Xi’an Hengye assesses credit risk based on debtors’ past due records, trading history, financial conditions or credit ratings. Xi’an Hengye is not exposed to concentration of credit risk.
The credit risk on bank deposits is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.
(b) Liquidity risk
Xi’an Hengye’s objective is to ensure there are adequate funds to meet commitments associated with its financial liabilities. Cash flows of Xi’an Hengye are closely monitored by the sole director on an ongoing basis.
The contractual maturities of financial liabilities are shown as below:

As mentioned in note 17, Xi’an Hengye has entered into financial guarantee contracts in which it has guaranteed the Financial Institution the repayment of loans granted to the former fellow subsidiaries. Xi’an Hengye has the obligation to compensate the Financial Institution for the loss it would suffer if the former subsidiaries fail to repay. Xi’an Hengye’s maximum exposure under the financial guarantee contracts was approximately RMB541,400,000 as at 31 May 2013.
(c) Interest rate risk
Xi’an Hengye is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk due to the fluctuation of the prevailing market interest rate on bank balances. The sole director of Xi’an Hengye considers that Xi’an Hengye’s interest rate risk is minimal.
(d) Fair values
The fair values of Xi’an Hengye’s financial assets and liabilities are not materially different from their carrying amounts because of the immediate or short term maturities.

Dear Sirs,
We set out below our report on the financial information of 西安長島綠河置業有限公司 (Xi’an Longisland Green River Properties Limited*) (“Xi’an Green River”) including the statements of financial position of Xi’an Green River as at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 and 31 May 2013, the statements of comprehensive income, the statements of changes in equity and the statements of cash flows of Xi’an Green River for the period from 14 April 2010 (date of establishment) to 31 December 2010, for each of the years ended 31 December 2011 and 2012 and for the five months ended 31 May 2013 (the “Relevant Periods”) and notes thereto (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Financial Information”), together with the unaudited financial information of Xi’an Green River including the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows of Xi’an Green River for the five months ended 31 May 2012 (the “31 May 2012 Corresponding Information”), prepared for inclusion in the circular issued by Culture Landmark Investment Limited (the “Company”) dated 23 October 2013 in connection with the proposed acquisition of the entire issued share capital of Longisland Tourism Investment & Development Limited (the “Target Company”) by the Company (the “Proposed Acquisition”).

For the purpose of this report, the sole director of Xi’an Green River has prepared the financial statements of Xi’an Green River for the Relevant Periods (the “Underlying Financial Statements”) in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 4 of Section II below which comply with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”) based on the audited financial statements or, where appropriate, unaudited management accounts of Xi’an Green River.
The Financial Information has been prepared by the sole director of Xi’an Green River based on the Underlying Financial Statements. No adjustments on the Underlying Financial Statements for the Relevant Periods are considered necessary for the purpose of preparing the Financial Information.
The sole director of Xi’an Green River is responsible for the contents of the circular including the preparation and the true and fair presentation of the Financial Information in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 4 of Section II below which comply with HKFRSs, the applicable disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”), and for such internal control as the sole director of Xi’an Green River determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Our responsibility is to form an independent opinion on the Financial Information based on our procedures and to report our opinion thereon to you.
For the purpose of this report, we have carried out audit procedures in respect of the Underlying Financial Statements in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA and have examined the Financial Information and carried out appropriate procedures as we considered necessary in accordance with Auditing Guideline 3.340 “Prospectuses and the Reporting Accountant” issued by the HKICPA.

CORRESPONDING FINANCIAL INFORMATION
For the purpose of this report, we have also performed a review of the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information, which is prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 4 of Section II below which comply with HKFRSs, 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 sole director of Xi’an Green River is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 4 of Section II below which comply with HKFRSs, the applicable disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Listing Rules. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information based on our review. A review principally consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures to the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information. 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 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information.
REVIEW CONCLUSION
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the 31 May 2012 Corresponding Information, for the purpose of this report, is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the same basis adopted in respect of the Financial Information.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Deposits for properties under development
Deposits for properties under development represented the payments for the property development projects. Deposits for properties under development are initially recognised at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, deposits for properties under development are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
(b) Financial instruments
(i) Financial assets
Xi’an Green River classifies its financial assets at initial recognition, depending on the purpose for which the asset was acquired. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially measured at fair value and all other financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets. Regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. A regular way purchase or sale is a purchase or sale of a financial asset under a contract whose terms require delivery of the asset within the time frame established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned.
Loans and receivables
These assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise principally through the provision of goods and services to customers (trade debtors), and also incorporate other types of contractual monetary asset. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses.
(ii) Impairment loss on financial assets
Xi’an Green River assesses, at the end of each of the Relevant Periods, whether there is any objective evidence that financial asset is impaired. Financial asset is impaired if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include:
-
(i) significant financial difficulty of the debtor;
-
(ii) a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
-
(iii) granting concession to a debtor because of debtor’s financial difficulty; and
-
(iv) it becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation.
For loans and receivables
An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of financial asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When any part of financial asset is determined as uncollectable, it is written off against the allowance account for the relevant financial asset.
Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the asset’s recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to a restriction that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
(iii) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities, including other payables and amounts due to immediate holding company, are initially recognised at fair value, net of directly attributable transaction costs incurred, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. The related interest expense is recognised within “finance costs” in the statements of comprehensive income.
– 120 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
(iv) Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of allocating interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments through the expected life of the financial asset or liability, or where appropriate, a shorter period.
(v) Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by Xi’an Green River are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
(vi) Financial guarantee contracts
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. A financial guarantee contract issued by Xi’an Green River and not designated as at fair value through profit or loss is recognised initially at its fair value less transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of the financial guarantee contract. Subsequent to initial recognition, Xi’an Green River measures the financial guarantee contact at the higher of: (i) the amount determined in accordance with HKAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets ; and (ii) the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation recognised in accordance with HKAS 18 Revenue .
(vii) Derecognition
Xi’an Green River derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the future cash flows in relation to the financial asset expire or when the financial asset has been transferred and the transfer meets the criteria for derecognition in accordance with HKAS 39.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
(c) Revenue recognition
Interest income is accrued on a time basis on the principal outstanding at the applicable interest rate.
(d) Income taxes
Income taxes for the period/year comprise current tax and deferred tax.
Current tax is based on the profit or loss from ordinary activities adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowable for income tax purposes and is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of each of the Relevant Periods.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for tax purposes. Except for goodwill and recognised assets and liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profits, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates appropriate to the expected manner in which the carrying amount of the asset or liability is realised or settled and that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of each of the Relevant Periods.
Income taxes are recognised in profit or loss except when they relate to items recognised in other comprehensive income in which case the taxes are also recognised in other comprehensive income.
(e) Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when Xi’an Green River has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, which will probably result in an outflow of economic benefits that can be reasonably estimated.
– 121 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, the existence of which will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events, are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.
(f) Related parties

-
(i) that person’s children and spouse or domestic partner;
-
(ii) children of that person’s spouse or domestic partner; and
-
(iii) dependents of that person or that person’s spouse or domestic partner.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATED UNCERTAINTY
Estimates are evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The key assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:
Impairment loss on loans and receivables
The policy for impairment of loans and receivables of Xi’an Green River is based on the evaluation of collectability and ageing analysis of the loans and receivables and on management’s judgment. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these loans and receivables, including the current creditworthiness of each debtor. If the financial conditions of debtors of Xi’an Green River were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional impairment may be required.
– 122 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
Impairment loss on deposits for properties under development
The carrying amounts of deposits for properties under development are reviewed periodically in order to assess whether the recoverable amounts have declined below the carrying amounts. These assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their recorded carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When such a decline has occurred, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount. Xi’an Green River uses all readily available information in determining an amount that is a reasonable approximation of recoverable amount, including estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumption.
6. SEGMENT INFORMATION
On adoption of HKFRS 8, Xi’an Green River has identified its operating segments and prepared segment information based on the regular internal financial information reported to Xi’an Green River’s sole director for his decisions about resources allocation to Xi’an Green River’s business components and review of these components’ performance. There is only one single business component/reportable segment in the internal reporting to the sole director, which is real estate development business. Xi’an Green River’s assets and capital expenditure are principally attributable to this business component.
No separate analysis of segment information by geographical segment is presented as Xi’an Green River’s revenue, assets and capital expenditure are principally attributable to a single geographical region, which is the PRC.

17. FINANCIAL GUARANTEE CONTRACTS
On 15 January 2013, Xi’an Green River signed agreements to provide corporate guarantee to the extent of approximately RMB541,400,000 to the Financial Institution in connection with the loan facilities granted by the Financial Institution to fellow subsidiaries. Under the guarantee, Xi’an Green River would be liable to pay the Financial Institution if the Financial Institution is unable to recover the loans. As 31 May 2013, no provision for Xi’an Green River’s obligation under the guarantee contracts has been made as the sole director considered that it was not probable that the repayment of the loans would be in default.
18. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
On 4 March 2013, the Financial Institution became the holding company of Xi’an Green River. The financial guarantee provided by Xi’an Green River as disclosed in note 17 is considered as related party transaction.
19. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Exposure to credit, liquidity and interest rate risks arises in the normal course of Xi’an Green River’s business.
Policy for managing these risks is set by the sole director. The policy for each of the above risks is described in more detail below.
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparties will default on their contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to Xi’an Green River. Xi’an Green River exposes to credit risk from loans and receivables. Xi’an Green River has adopted a credit policy to monitor and mitigate credit risk arising from its debtors. Credit limit is regularly reviewed and approved by the sole director. Xi’an Green River assesses credit risk based on debtors’ past due records, trading history, financial conditions or credit ratings. Xi’an Green River is not exposed to concentration of credit risk.
The credit risk on bank deposits is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.
– 125 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
(b) Liquidity risk
Xi’an Green River’s objective is to ensure there are adequate funds to meet commitments associated with its financial liabilities. Cash flows of Xi’an Green River are closely monitored by the sole director on an ongoing basis.

As mentioned in note 17, Xi’an Green River has entered into financial guarantee contracts in which it has guaranteed the Financial Institution the repayment of loans granted to the former fellow subsidiaries. Xi’an Green River has the obligation to compensate the Financial Institution for the loss it would suffer if the former subsidiaries fail to repay. Xi’an Green River’s maximum exposure under the financial guarantee contracts was approximately RMB541,400,000 as at 31 May 2013.
(c) Interest rate risk
Xi’an Green River is exposed to cash inflow interest rate risk due to the fluctuation of the prevailing market interest rate on bank balances. The sole director of Xi’an Green River considers that Xi’an Green River’s interest rate risk is minimal.
(d) Fair values
The fair values of Xi’an Green River’s financial assets and liabilities are not materially different from their carrying amounts because of the immediate or short term maturities.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Enlarged Group as at 31 March 2013 (the “Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information”) has been prepared in accordance with Rule 4.29 of the Listing Rules for the purpose of illustrating the effect on the financial position of the Enlarged Group as if the acquisition of entire issued share capital of the Target Company by the Group (the “Acquisition”) had been completed on 31 March 2013. The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared for illustrative purpose only, and because of its nature, it may not give a true picture of the Enlarged Group’s financial position following completion of the Acquisition.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared based on:
-
(a) the audited consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2013 which has been extracted from the audited annual report of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2013;
-
(b) the audited consolidated statements of financial position of the Longisland BVI Group (as defined in Appendix II in the circular) and the Longisland Beijing Group (as defined in Appendix II in the circular) and the audited statements of financial position of Xi’an Hengye and Xi’an Green River as at 31 May 2013 which have been extracted from Appendix II to this circular; and
-
(c) after taking into account of the unaudited pro forma adjustments relating to the Acquisition that are (i) directly attributable to the Acquisition and not relating to future events or decisions; and (ii) factually supportable.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information is 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 Enlarged Group that would have been attained had the Acquisition been completed on 31 March 2013. The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information does not purport to predict the future financial position of the Enlarged Group.

Dear Sirs,
Re: 3 parcels of land (Land Nos CB3-6-140, CB3-6-141 and CB3-6-142) located at East of Shibo Avenue, Chanba Ecological District, Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, the People’s Republic of China (the “Property”)
In accordance with the instructions from Culture Landmark Investment Limited (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) for us to value the Property held by 西安長島恒業 置業有限公司 (Xi’an Longisland Hengye Properties Limited) (“Xi’an Hengye”) and 西安長 島綠河置業有限公司 (Xi’an Longisland Green River Properties Limited) (“Xi’an Green River”) in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), we confirm that we have carried out inspections, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the value of the Property as at 31 July 2013 (“Date of Valuation”) for the purpose of this circular.
Our valuation of the Property is our opinion of its 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”.
Market value is understood as the value of an asset or liability estimated without regard to costs of sale and purchase (or transaction) and without offset for any associated taxes or potential taxes.
– 154 –
APPENDIX IV
VALUATION REPORT
In valuing the Property which is held for future development by Xi’an Hengye and Xi’an Green River, we have adopted the direct comparison approach by making reference to the comparable sales transactions as available in the market assuming sales with the benefit of vacant possession.
We have been provided with copies of extracts of the title documents relating to the Property in the PRC, such as the State-owned Land Use Rights Certificates and the Construction Land Planning Permits. However, we have not searched the original documents to verify the ownership or to ascertain the existence of any amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us. We have relied on the legal opinion issued by the Company’s PRC legal adviser, Commerce & Finance Law Offices, regarding the title to the Property.
We have relied to a considerable extent on the information given by the Company and have accepted advice given by the Company on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenures, particulars of occupancy, development scheme, site and floor areas and all other relevant matters. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificate are based on the information contained in the documents provided to us and are therefore only approximations. No on-site measurements have been taken. We have no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Company, which is material to our valuation. We were also advised by the Company that no material facts have been omitted from the information provided. As advised by the Company, there are no investigations, notices, pending litigation or breaches of law against the Property.
We have inspected the Property. During the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects. No structural survey has been made and we are therefore unable to report on whether the Property is free from rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No tests were carried out on any of the services. Site inspection was carried out during the period from 27 April 2013 to 30 April 2013 by our Mr. Ken J Liu, who is both a China Real Estate Appraiser and a China Land Valuer.
No allowance has been made in our valuation 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 is prepared in compliance with the requirements contained in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and in accordance with the HKIS Valuation Standards (2012 Edition) published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.
