Beijing Mingchuang will enter into new leases with the original lessees of the Property on the same terms of the existing leases. As of the date of this circular, the original lessees have indicated that they would agree to this arrangement.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE TRANSACTIONS

The Property is currently being leased out to certain lessees. BTIT will terminate the lease contracts with the existing lessees and lease the Property to Beijing Mingchuang, which will subsequently lease the Property to the original lessees. The Group engaged in sub-leasing business with its properties situated in Nanjing but it intended to restructure its

  • For identification purpose only

— 26 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

sub-leasing business by relocating its sub-leasing business to a more profitable location. The Property situates in Beijing, a first-tier city in the Mainland China, with stable lease market and lower business risk. BTIT is willing to work with the Group to diversify the Group’s property sub-leasing business in first-tier cities. Besides, since the rent charged to Beijing Mingchuang by BTIT is lower than the market rates as well as the rent to be charged to the tenants by Beijing Mingchuang, which is calculated based on approximately 70% of the current rent charged by BTIT from the existing tenants, the Group can generate revenue by leasing out the Property at the market rates.

In any event, BTIT agrees to provide a rental income guarantee of HK$51,000,000 each year to Beijing Mingchuang in 2021 and 2022 so that there will be a smooth transition in terms of income of the Group when Beijing Mingchuang enters into new lease contracts with the existing tenants in place of BTIT. The revenue attributed to the sub-leasing business in Nanjing for the year ended 31 March 2020 is HK$50,796,747 and that the expected revenue in relation to the sub-leasing of the Property in 2021 is approximately HK$44 million. Hence, the annual rental income guarantee of HK$51,000,000 will safeguard the Company’s interest in the course of restructuring and ensure that the financial performance of the Group will not be affected during the transition period after the cessation of the sub-leasing business in Nanjing even though BTIT and Beijing Mingchuang may need a few months’ time to complete all administrative procedures for terminating the original leases with the existing lessees and signing new leases with them. After the end of each of 2021 and 2022, Beijing Mingchuang will check whether the annual rental income for that year meets the guaranteed amount. If there is any shortfall, Beijing Mingchuang will request BTIT to pay an amount equivalent to the shortfall or deduct such amount from the rental payable, at Beijing Mingchuang’s discretion.

To maintain the stability of the sub-leasing business and attract long-term tenants, Beijing Mingchuang has requested for a lease term of at least 10 years. This is comparable to the lease terms of the lease contracts entered into by the Group with other independent third parties in the past for operation of its sub-leasing business, ranging from 5 to 20 years. The Board considers that it is a normal business practice for companies operating sub-leasing business to seek for a relatively longer lease duration in order to secure the business operation. Therefore, the lease period of the Property is reasonable and consistent with the prevailing market practice.

Furthermore, having considered the opinions of APAC Asset Valuation and Consulting Limited regarding the fairness of the market rents and management fees of the Property, the Board is of the view that the rental, rental increment rates and management fees of the Property fall below the prevailing market levels, whilst other relevant terms contained in the Lease Contracts, including the rental payment term, rental deposit and lease period, are on normal commercial terms or better under the current market conditions.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Having considered the above factors, the Board considers that the terms of the Lease Contracts are fair and reasonable and are in the interest of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

EFFECTS ON EARNINGS AND ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF THE GROUP

Upon the taking effect of the Lease Contracts, it is expected that the Lease Contracts will have the following financial effects of the Group:

Assets and liabilities

The unaudited consolidated total assets, total liabilities and net assets of the Group as at 30 September 2020 as extracted from the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 September 2020 were HK$1,568,356,437, HK$830,900,044 and HK$737,456,393 respectively. Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Group as set out in the Appendix III to this circular, assuming completion of the Lease Contracts had taken place on 30 September 2020, the pro forma total assets and total liabilities of the Group would have been approximately HK$2,065,884,605 and approximately HK$1,328,428,212 respectively. The unaudited pro forma net asset value attributable to equity shareholders of the Enlarged Group would be approximately HK$737,456,393.

Earnings

The audited net loss of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2020 as extracted from the audited report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2020 was HK$33,663,399. Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Group as set out in the Appendix III to this circular, assuming completion of the Lease Contracts had taken place on 31 March 2020, the pro forma net profit of the Group would increase to approximately HK$18,374,918.

As Mr. Chen Weiwu indirectly holds 100% of the equity interest in BTIT, BTIT is an associate of Mr. Chen Weiwu and therefore a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard 16 Lease (“ HKFRS 16 ”), the entering into of the Lease Contracts as a lessee will require the Group to recognise the right-of-use assets in its financial statements. Given that the right-of-use assets are for lease out under operating lease to certain lessees, the right-of-use assets shall be accounted as investment properties under Hong Kong Accounting Standard 40 Investment Properties (“ HKAS 40 ”). This will be regarded as deemed acquisition of assets by the Group. Beijing Mingchuang and BTIT have entered into the Previous Lease Contracts on 27 December 2019. As certain applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Lease Contracts and the Previous Lease Contracts exceed 100% on an aggregated basis, the Lease Contracts and the transactions contemplated thereunder constitute a very substantial acquisition and connected transaction for the Company, and are subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 and Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

The Company will seek approval from the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Lease Contracts and the transactions contemplated thereunder by way of a poll at the SGM. In view of the interest above, Mr. Chen Weiwu and his associates are required to abstain from voting in respect of the ordinary resolution approving the Lease Contracts and the transactions contemplated thereunder at the SGM.

The Independent Board Committee, comprising all the three independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Chen Youchun, Ms. Lui Mei Ka and Mr. Zhou Xin, has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders on whether the terms of the Lease Contracts and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and advise the Independent Shareholders as to voting. We, Rainbow Capital, have been appointed as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in this regard.

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, we did not have any relationships or interests with the Group, BTIT and Mr. Chen Weiwu that could reasonably be regarded as relevant to our independence. We have acted as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in relation to (i) certain lease contracts, details of which are set out in the circular of the Company dated 25 February 2020; and (ii) the acquisition of a target group engaging in property development, details of which are set out in the circular of the Company dated 22 June 2020. Other than that, there was no engagement between the Group and us in the last two years. Apart from normal professional fees paid or payable to us in connection with this appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser, no arrangements exist whereby we had received any fees or benefits from the Group, BTIT or Mr. Chen Weiwu. Accordingly, we are qualified to give independent advice in respect of the Lease Contracts and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

BASIS OF OUR OPINION

In formulating our opinion and advice, we have relied on (i) the information and facts contained or referred to in the Circular; (ii) the information supplied by the Group; (iii) the opinions expressed by and the representations of the Directors and the management of the Group; and (iv) our review of the relevant public information. We have assumed that all the information provided and representations and opinions expressed to us or contained or referred to in the Circular were true, accurate and complete in all respects as at the date thereof and may be relied upon. We have also assumed that all statements contained and representations made or referred to in the Circular are true at the time they were made and continue to be true as at the Latest Practicable Date and all such statements of belief, opinions and intentions of the Directors and the management of the Group and those as set out or referred to in the Circular were reasonably made after due and careful enquiry.

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

Group, nor have we conducted any form of in-depth investigation into the business, affairs, operations, financial position or future prospects of the Group, BTIT or their respective substantial shareholders, subsidiaries or associates.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In considering the Lease Contracts and the transactions contemplated thereunder, we have taken into account the principal factors and reasons set out below:

1. Background to, reasons for and benefits of entering into the Lease Contracts

(i) The Group

The Group is principally engaged in (a) exhibition-related business; (b) property sub-leasing, development and investment business; and (c) money lending business. For the year ended 31 March 2020 and the six months ended 30 September 2020, the Group’s gross rental income from property sub-leasing business amounted to approximately HK$65.5 million and HK$30.5 million, representing approximately 83.5% and 99.0% of total revenue, respectively.

On 27 December 2019, Beijing Mingchuang entered into the Previous Lease Contracts with BTIT to diversify its property sub-leasing business into Beijing, a first-tier city in the PRC with stable lease market and lower business risk. Due to weak market sentiment and unsatisfactory performance, the Group’s property sub-leasing business in Nanjing (the “ Nanjing Business ”) was disposed of in December 2020 (the “ Disposal ”). As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 1 December 2020, the Disposal was part of the Group’s development strategy to restructure its property sub-leasing business by shifting the location of the business from a second-tier city to a first-tier city in the PRC (the “ Restructuring ”). The entering into of the Lease Contracts is in line with the Group’s stated strategy and represents an expansion of the Group’s existing property sub-leasing business in Beijing.

The Shares are listed on the Stock Exchange and the Company had a market capitalisation of approximately HK$219.3 million as at the Latest Practicable Date.

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

(ii) The Property

The Property is located at 北京市北京經濟技術開發區經海三路 109 號 (No. 109 Jinghaisanlu, Beijing Economic and Technological Development Area, Beijing, the PRC) which is the only state-level economic and technological development area in Beijing and has developed into the hub of high-technology research or development and manufacturing.

The Property is part of the development of 天驥 • 智谷 (Tianji Zhigu) (the “ Development ”) which is a large-scale industrial development with more than 60 blocks of low-rise and high-rise industrial or office buildings and was completed in three phases between 2013 and 2018.

The Property comprises eight blocks of five to seven-storey office buildings, one block of dormitory building and one block of ancillary building of phases II and III of the Development with a total gross floor area of approximately 70,477.92 sq.m. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Property was leased out to approximately 80 lessees with expiry dates of the lease terms up to May 2037 and was occupied as research centers and ancillary offices, dormitory and ancillary use.

According to the unaudited profit and loss statements of the Property as set out in Appendix II to the Circular, for the two years ended 31 December 2019 and the eleven months ended 30 November 2020, the Property generated (i) revenue of approximately RMB12.2 million, RMB22.1 million and RMB28.8 million; and (ii) profit before income tax expense of approximately RMB3.9 million, RMB7.7 million and RMB11.1 million, respectively.

(iii) Reasons for and benefits of the entering into of the Lease Contracts

As set out in the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 September 2020, while the Group has continued its efforts to consolidate and realign its businesses to enable the Group to achieve an improvement in its financial position, it has been exploring and diversifying other suitable investment opportunities to enhance its earning potential so as to attain a sustainable growth. In addition, the Group expects to leverage on the experience of its management team in the real estate development industry as well as the resources and networks of its management team in the PRC for its future development in the property sub-leasing, development and investment business sectors.

— 37 —

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

The Group is currently engaged in the property sub-leasing business with its properties situated in Beijing, the PRC. As disclosed in the Letter from the Board, the Disposal and the entering into of the Lease Contracts allow the Group to relocate its property sub-leasing business to a more profitable location with stable lease market and lower business risk. Moreover, as the rents to be charged by BTIT to Beijing Mingchuang under the Lease Contracts are lower than the market rates as well as the rents to be charged by Beijing Mingchuang to the Original Lessees, being approximately 70% of the rent charged by BTIT to the Original Lessees, the Group can generate additional revenue through leasing out the Property.

Furthermore, BTIT agrees to provide a rental income guarantee (the “ Rental Guarantee ”) of HK$51 million each year to Beijing Mingchuang in 2021 and 2022. After the end of each of 2021 and 2022, Beijing Mingchuang will check whether the annual rental income for that year meets the guaranteed amount. If there is any shortfall, Beijing Mingchuang will request BTIT to pay an amount equivalent to the shortfall or deduct such amount from the rental payable, at Beijing Mingchuang’s discretion. Given the revenue attributable to the Nanjing Business was approximately HK$50.8 million for the year ended 31 March 2020, we concur with the Directors that the Rental Guarantee will safeguard the Company’s interest in the course of the Restructuring and ensure that the financial performance of the Group will not be affected during the transition period after completion of the Disposal on 21 December 2020.

As disclosed in the Letter from the Board, the lease terms of at least 10 years are comparable to those of the lease contracts entered into by the Group with other independent third parties in the past for operation of its sub-leasing business, ranging from 5 to 20 years, which is beneficial to maintaining the stability of the sub-leasing business and attracting long-term tenants. Therefore, the lease periods of the Property are reasonable and consistent with the prevailing market practice.

Taking into account that (i) the sub-leasing of the Property through the entering into of the Lease Contracts will provide an opportunity for the Group to leverage on the experience of its management team in the real estate development industry as well as the resources and networks of its management team in the PRC to expand its property sub-leasing business in Beijing to achieve sustainable growth, which is consistent with the Group’s stated strategy to seek new investment opportunities to enhance its earning potential; (ii) the Group is able to generate additional revenue through leasing out the Property given that the rates to be charged by BTIT under the Lease

— 38 —

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

Contracts are lower than the market rates; (iii) the Rental Guarantee provides the Group with the downside protection against an immediate drop in rental income following completion of the Disposal; and (iv) the lease period of the Property is comparable to the lease terms of the lease contracts entered into by the Group with other independent third parties in the past, we are of the view that the entering into of the Lease Contracts is fair and reasonable and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

2. The Lease Contracts

Set out below is a summary of the principal terms of the Lease Contracts. Independent Shareholders are advised to read further details of the Lease Contracts as disclosed in the Letter from the Board:

The Property:

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

Other expenses:

  • Beijing Mingchuang shall pay management fee of RMB5.80 or RMB10.00 per sq.m. per month.

Use of the Property:

  • Office, research and development, dormitory, facilities for ancillary services and lifestyle facilities

Condition: The transactions contemplated under the Lease Contracts are subject to the obtaining of approval of the Independent Shareholders in accordance with the applicable regulations (including the Listing Rules) by the Company.

Sublet: Beijing Mingchuang may sublet the Property provided that the consent of BTIT is obtained. Such consent is already obtained and is not revocable.

(i) Basis of the rentals of the Property

As set out in the Letter from the Board, the rentals for the Property as set out above were determined after arm’s length negotiations between the parties and on normal commercial terms or better, with reference to the prevailing rents of similar properties in the surrounding area, including 國銳金嶺 (Kingdom Guorui), 中航技廣場 (Zhonghangji Plaza), 大族廣場 (Hans Plaza) and 鋒創科 技園 (V Park), with the current rental ranging from approximately RMB3.20 per sq.m. per day to RMB7.00 per sq.m. per day. We have discussed with the management of the Group the principal terms of the Lease Contracts, as set out in the table above, which the Directors consider to be on normal commercial terms or better.

(ii) Assessment of the principal terms of the Lease Contracts

(a) The Valuer’s view

The Company has appointed APAC Asset Valuation and Consulting Limited, an independent valuer (the “ Valuer ”), to form an independent view on whether the terms of the Lease Contracts are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable.

As set out in the fair rent letter (the “ Fair Rent Letter ”) dated 25 January 2021 issued by the Valuer, after taking into account the terms of the Lease Contracts, it is of the view that (1) the rentals, rental

— 40 —

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

increment rates and management fees for the Property are lower than the market levels; (2) other relevant terms contained in the Lease Contracts, including the rental payment term, rental deposit and lease period, are on normal commercial terms under prevailing market conditions which are fair and reasonable; and (3) the lease period of the Lease Contracts is consistent with normal business practice, especially for companies operating property sub-leasing business which should seek for a relatively longer lease duration to secure the business operation (the “ Valuer’s Opinion ”).

According to the Fair Rent Letter, in assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the terms of the Lease Contracts, the Valuer has adopted the direct comparison approach by making reference to the asking rentals and management fees of comparable properties within the locality, subject to appropriate adjustments including but not limited to location, quality, size, time and other relevant factors, given the lack of disclosure of relevant completed lease transactions in the public.

(b) Our due diligence

Assessment of the Valuer’s view

We have conducted an interview with the Valuer to enquire its qualification and experience in assessing the terms of lease agreements in the PRC. The Valuer confirmed that it is a third party independent of the Company and its connected persons. We have also reviewed the terms of engagement of the Valuer, in particular its scope of work. We noted that its scope of work is appropriate to form the opinion required to be given and there are no limitations on the scope of work which might adversely impact on the degree of assurance given by the Valuer in the Fair Rent Letter. We have performed the work as required under note (1)(d) to Rule 13.80 of the Listing Rules in relation to the Valuer and its work as regards the Lease Contracts.

We have also discussed with the Valuer the work it has performed and the methodology, bases and assumptions adopted in arriving at its conclusion in the Fair Rent Letter as to the terms of the Lease Contracts, including the review of the asking rentals and management fees of comparable properties and discussion with the Valuer the adjustments made.

— 41 —

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

In light of the above, we consider that the methodology, bases and assumptions adopted by the Valuer in assessing the terms of the Lease Contracts are fair and reasonable.

Furthermore, we have reviewed the Existing Lease Contracts entered into by BTIT and the Original Lessees, and noted that (i) the rents and management fees are generally higher than those to be charged by BTIT to Beijing Mingchuang under the Lease Contracts; (ii) the annual rental increment rates are generally higher than those under the Lease Contracts; (iii) the rental payment terms and the rental deposits required are comparable to those under the Lease Contracts; and (iv) the lease durations range from 2 years to 19 years and 6 months. These indicate that the terms of the Lease Contracts are on normal commercial terms or better which is consistent with the Valuer’s Opinion. Given that Beijing Mingchuang will enter into new lease agreements (the “ New Lease Contracts ”) with the Original Lessees and lease the Property to the Original Lessees under the same terms and conditions as the Existing Lease Contracts after termination of the Existing Lease Contract by BTIT, we consider that the terms of the Existing Lease Contracts are relevant to assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the terms of the Lease Contracts.

Assessment of the annual rental increment rates

Under the Lease Contracts, the rental increment rates are either (1) 3% for each year; or (2) 5% for every three years which is equivalent to an annual rental increment rate of approximately 1.6%. We consider both rental increment rates to be fair and reasonable after taking into account the following factors:

  • (1) the annual rental increment rates under the Lease Contracts are lower than the market levels according to the Fair Rent Letter;

  • (2) the annual rental increment rates under the Existing Lease Contracts and the New Lease Contracts are generally higher than those under the Lease Contracts; and

  • (3) according to the World Economic Outlook (October 2020) published by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the PRC inflation rates (annual percent change of average consumer prices) during the period from 2021 to 2025 are estimated to be in the range of 2.6% to 2.7%.

— 42 —

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

Assessment of the duration of the Lease Contracts

In respect of the duration, the Lease Contracts have lease terms ranging from 10 years to 16 years and 3 months. In assessing the reasonableness as regards the durations of the Lease Contracts, we have considered the following factors:

  • (1) the entering into of the Lease Contracts for a longer term for the Group’s property sub-leasing business is consistent with the Group’s long-term strategy of achieving a sustainable growth through leveraging on the experience of its management team in the real estate development industry as well as the resources and networks of its management team in the PRC;

  • (2) BTIT will terminate the Existing Lease Contracts and under the Lease Contracts, lease the Property to Beijing Mingchuang which will subsequently lease the Property to the Original Lessees under the same terms and conditions as the Existing Lease Contracts. The long-term durations of the Lease Contracts will allow the Group to secure the revenue stream arising from the rental difference between the New Lease Contracts and the Lease Contracts for periods at least up to the expiry dates of the New Lease Contracts;

  • (3) although the rental periods of the New Lease Contracts do not coincide with those of the Lease Contracts, we consider that a longer duration of the Lease Contracts will provide the Group with a stable and reliable source of investment properties to develop its property sub-leasing business. Upon expiry of the New Lease Contracts, the Group is allowed to continue to use the Property under the Lease Contracts for its property sub-leasing business;

  • (4) each of the Previous Lease Contracts has a lease term of 10 years; and

— 43 —

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

  • (5) we have also discussed with the Valuer on the durations of the Lease Contracts. As advised by the Valuer, it is common for companies which operate property sub-leasing business to seek for a relatively longer lease duration to secure the business operation. As such, the Valuer stated in the Fair Rent Letter that the lease periods of the Lease Contracts are consistent with normal business practice, especially for companies operating property sub-leasing business.

Based on the above, we are of the view that the lease terms of the Lease Contracts ranging from 10 years to 16 years and 3 months are normal commercial terms for a transaction of this nature and it is normal business practice for contracts of this type to be of such duration.

(c) Our view

On the above basis, in particular the Valuer’s view on the terms of the Lease Contracts and the favorable rentals (including rental increment rates and management fees) of the Lease Contracts over those of the Existing Lease Contracts and the New Lease Contracts, we consider that the terms of the Lease Contracts are on normal commercial terms or better, with a reasonable length of duration for the Group to implement its stated development strategy, as discussed above.

3. Financial effect on the Group

(i) Right-of-use asset and lease liability

The Lease Contracts are long-term leases for a duration ranging from 10 years to 16 years and 3 months. Pursuant to the new HKFRS 16, the entering into of the Lease Contracts as a lessee will require the Group to recognise the rightof-use asset in its financial statements. Given that the right-of-use assets are for lease out under operating lease to certain lessees, the right-of-use assets shall be accounted as investment properties under HKAS 40. A resultant lease liability will be recognised by the Group at the same time. Investment properties are measured at cost on initial recognition and subsequently at fair value with any change therein recognised in profit or loss. Please refer to the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Group (the “ Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information ”) set out in Appendix III to the Circular for details of the accounting treatment of the Lease Contracts.

— 44 —

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

Based on the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, assuming the transactions contemplated under the Lease Contracts were completed as at 30 September 2020, the Group would initially recognise investment properties of approximately HK$496.3 million and the corresponding lease liabilities of approximately HK$496.3 million.

(ii) Profitability

Given that (a) the rents charged under the Lease Contracts are lower than the market levels and those under the New Lease Contracts; and (b) BTIT agrees to provide the Rental Guarantee that the rental income arising from the subleasing of the Property for each of 2021 and 2022 shall be no less than HK$51 million, the Directors are of the view that the future return to be generated from the Property is expected to contribute positively to the results of the Group. It should, however, be noted that the results of the Group will be affected by the interest expenses incurred for the lease liabilities and the fair value change on the investment properties as at each reporting date.

(iii) Cash flow

As advised by the Directors, the Group currently intends to finance the future rent payments under the Lease Contracts by the future rental income arising from the New Lease Contracts and/or internal resources of the Group. As at 30 September 2020, the Group had cash and bank balances of approximately HK$225.7 million. The Directors have confirmed that, taking into account the financial resources available to the Group, including the existing bank balances, internal resources and available credit facilities of the Group, the Group will have sufficient working capital for its requirements for at least 12 months from the date of the Circular, in the absence of unforeseeable circumstances.

It should be noted that the aforementioned analyses are for illustrative purpose only and do not purport to represent how the financial performance and position of the Group will be upon the Lease Contracts becoming effective.

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

OPINION AND RECOMMENDATION

Having taken into account the above principal factors and reasons, we consider that the Lease Contracts and the transactions contemplated thereunder are on normal commercial terms or better which are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned. We further consider that the entering into of the Lease Contracts is in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

We therefore advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend, and we ourselves recommend, the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Lease Contracts and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of Rainbow Capital (HK) Limited Larry Choi Managing Director

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

The management team and the Board of Directors are made up of highly qualified and competent individuals who are experienced in the real estate development industry in PRC. The team possesses significant knowledge, resources and networks in China of which the Company expects to be able to leverage for its future development in the property sub-leasing, development and investment projects in the PRC.

By entering into the Lease Contracts, the Group would be able to restructure its sub-leasing business by relocating its sub-leasing business to Beijing, a first-tier city in the PRC, with stable lease market and lower business risk. Moving forward, the Group plans to make investment in more property sub-leasing, development and investment projects in the PRC.

APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

  • (A) UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

  • (1) Introduction to Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of The Enlarged Group

The following is an illustrative and unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities and unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income of the Enlarged Group (the “ Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information ”), which has been prepared by the directors of the Company in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules and on the basis of the notes set out below for the purpose of illustrating the effects upon completion of the very substantial acquisition and connected transaction in relation to lease contracts by the Group (the “ Transaction ”) as if it had taken place on 30 September 2020 for the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities and as if it had taken place on 1 April 2019 for the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information are prepared based on

  • (a) the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 30 September 2020 as set out in the Group’s published interim report dated 24 December 2020;

  • (b) the audited consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 31 March 2020 as set out in the Group’s published annual report dated 28 July 2020;

  • (c) the unaudited pro forma adjustments relating to the Transaction that are (i) directly attributable to the Transaction and not relating to future events or decisions; and (ii) factually supportable.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared by the directors of the Company for illustrative purpose only and is based on a number of assumptions, estimates, uncertainties and currently available information.

Accordingly, the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information does not purport to describe the actual assets and liabilities and financial performance of the Enlarged Group that would have been attained has the Transaction been completed on 30 September 2020 or 1 April 2019, nor purport to predict the Enlarged Group’s future financial position and financial performance.

— III-1 —

APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial information of the Group as set out in the published interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 September 2020, the published annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2020 and other financial information included elsewhere in the Circular.

This Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and because of its hypothetical nature, it may not give a true picture of the financial position and financial performance of the Enlarged Group had the Transaction been completed as at 30 September 2020 or 1 April 2019, where applicable, or any future date.

Notes:

  1. The amounts are extracted from the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial position of the Group for the six months ended 30 September 2020 set out on pages 21 to 22 of the 2020 published interim report of the Company (“ Interim Condensed Financial Statements ”) and the audited consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2020 set out on pages 70 to 71 of 2020 published annual report of the Company (“ Annual Financial Statements ”).

  2. For the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, the amount of Renminbi (“ RMB ”) is translated into Hong Kong dollars (“ HK$ ”) at the exchange rate of RMB1 to HK$1.1380, which is the prevailing exchange rate on 30 September 2020. For the unaudited pro forma statement of comprehensive income, the amount of RMB is translated into HK$ at exchange rate of RMB1 to HK$1.1243.

  3. The adjustment represents the rental deposits of approximately RMB11,258,404 (equivalent HK$12,812,064) payable by the Group upon effective of the lease agreements. This adjustment is expected to have a continuing financial effect on the Group as the rental deposits are refundable upon expiry of the lease agreements.

  4. The adjustment represents the estimated legal and professional fees and other direct expenses directly attributable to the Transaction of approximately HK$1,240,200 which would be part of the cost of the assets acquired. This adjustment is not expected to have a continuing financial effect on the Group.

— III-6 —

APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

  1. The pro forma financial information is prepared in a manner consistent with both the format and accounting policies adopted by the Group in its Interim Condensed Financial Statements and therefore the pro forma financial information is materially consistent with the accounting basis used by the Group. Pursuant to Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard 16 Leases (“ HKFRS 16 ”), the entering into the Transaction as a lessee will require the Group to recognise the right-of-use assets in its financial statements. Had the adoption of HKFRS 16 for the Transaction been taken into account, lease liabilities will be initially recognised with amount of approximately RMB436,105,420 (equivalent to HK$496,287,968) and the right-of-use assets with amount of approximately RMB436,105,420 (equivalent to HK$496,287,968) will also be initially recognised. The total assets and total liabilities of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities would then be increased by approximately RMB436,105,420 (equivalent to HK$496,287,968) and RMB436,105,420 (equivalent to HK$496,287,968) respectively.

As the Group intends to enter into arrangements to sublease the leased assets to third parties while the original lease contracts are in effect, assuming the subleases have been entered into and are classified as operating leases, the Group, as the intermediate lessor, will continue to account for the lease liabilities and right-of-use assets on the head leases like any other lease in accordance with HKFRS 16.

The right-of-use assets will be presented as investment properties measured at fair value assuming that the right-of-use assets meet the definition of investment property in accordance with HKAS 40 Investment Property (“ HKAS 40 ”) and a separate line item under non-current assets, whereas the lease liabilities will be presented as a separate line item of which approximately RMB26,773,995 (equivalent to HK$30,468,806) under current liabilities and approximately RMB409,331,425 (equivalent to HK$465,819,162) under non-current liabilities in the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. The calculation of impact of HKFRS 16 for the Transaction have been prepared for illustrative purposes only and because of its hypothetical nature, it may not give a true picture of the impact to the Group had the Transaction been completed on the actual date of completion.

  1. As the Group intends to enter into arrangements to sublease the leased assets to third parties while the original lease contracts are in effect, the following paragraphs, which do not form part of the adjustment in Note 5, describes the accounting assuming the subleases have been entered into and are classified as finance leases. The Group, as the intermediate lessor, will derecognise the right-of-use assets on the head lease at the sublease commencement date and recognise net investments in the subleases and continues to account for the original lease liabilities in accordance with the lessee accounting model in accordance with HKFRS 16. Any difference between the right-of-use assets and the net investments in subleases will be recognised in profit or loss.

The impact of HKFRS 16 for the Transaction have been prepared for illustrative purposes only and because of its hypothetical nature, it may not give a true picture of the impact to the Group had the Transaction been completed on the actual date of completion.

  1. The adjustment represents the interest expenses incurred for the lease liabilities as if the Transaction is completed on 1 April 2019. Under HKFRS 16, all leases are required to be capitalised as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The lease liability should be recognised at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the date of commencement of the lease. The lease payments shall be discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group shall use the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Subsequent to the commencement date, a lessee shall measure the lease liability by: (i) increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability; (ii) reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made. The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities recognised as if the Transaction completed on 1 April 2019 is 6.5%. The adjustment is expected to have a continuing effect on the Group.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX III

  1. The adjustment represents the fair value change on the investment properties as if the Transaction is completed on 1 April 2019. The right-of-use assets will be presented as investment properties assuming that the right-of-use assets meet the definition of investment property in accordance with HKAS 40. And the right-of-use assets which is initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at fair value. Change in fair value of investment property will be recognised in profit or loss.

As if the Transaction completed on 1 April 2019, the fair value change represents the difference in fair value of the Property between 1 April 2019 and 31 March 2020.

In preparing the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, a valuation of the rightof-use assets which classified as investment properties is prepared by the independent professional valuer and adopted income approach for calculating the fair value as at 30 November 2020. The fair value of the Property as at 31 March 2020 is calculated as if the yield rate, the market rent and occupancy rate of the Property are remained at the same as the valuation date of the Property on 30 November 2020, except for adjusting the remaining lease term. The adjustment is expected to have a continuing effect on the Group.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX IV

Outlook

China continued to advance its industrialisation and urbanisation, and deepen the supply-side reform. As the recurrent intensification of the Sino-US trade war may become a normalised phenomenon and exports to the United States may continue to weaken, economic development will be under pressure. However, driven by “The Belt and Road Initiative” and other favorable policies, domestic demand promotion, economic development structure adjustment and other measures to promote high quality economic development will remain as the dominant trend. Therefore, the Directors expect the business environment to remain challenging, but are cautiously optimistic towards the overall outlook of the Group.

The management team and Board of Directors are highly experienced in the real estate development industry in China and possess significant resources and networks in China which the Company expects to be able to leverage for its future development in the property sub-leasing, development and investment business sector. The Group has continued the efforts to consolidate and realign its businesses to enable the Group to achieve improvements in its financial position.

The Group is working towards attaining a sustainable growth, and at the same time the Group is also continuously exploring and identifying other suitable investment opportunities (if any) to enhance its earning potential so as to enhance shareholder value as a whole.

Currency risk

The 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 Group does not have significant exposure to risk resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
