The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, further details of the Disposal and the independent valuation report on the Property.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Subject Matter
Subject to the terms of the Formal Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Vendor has agreed to sell the Sale Share and assign the benefit of the Sale Debt, free from encumbrances, and the Purchaser has agreed to purchase the Sale Share and take the assignment of the Sale Debt, for a Consideration of HK$206,000,000.
Consideration
The Consideration of HK$206,000,000 shall be payable in the following manner:
-
(a) an initial deposit of HK$10,000,000 has been paid by the Purchaser and is held by the Vendor’s Solicitors as stakeholders as at the date hereof;
-
(b) a further deposit of HK10,600,000 has been paid by the Purchaser and is held by the Vendor’s Solicitors as stakeholders as at the date hereof;
-
(c) the balance of the Consideration of HK$185,400,000 is payable at Completion.
The Deposits shall be released to the Vendor upon the Purchaser having completed or is deemed to have completed its due diligence review on the business, financial and legal aspects of Central Fly and the Vendor having proved the approval of the Central Fly’s title to the Property in accordance with Sections 13 and 13A of the Conveyancing and Property Ordinance (Chapter 219 of Hong Kong laws) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Formal Sale and Purchase Agreement.
The Consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Vendor and the Purchaser through an estate agent taking into account, among other things, the recent market conditions of the property market in Hong Kong, the market value of the Property, the net assets value of Central Fly and the gain from the Disposal.
Having considered the above and the factors described under the section headed “Reasons for and Benefits of the Disposal” below, the Directors consider that the Consideration is fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Conditions Precedent

(a) Central Fly having proved and shown, in accordance with section 13 and section 13A of the Conveyancing and Property Ordinance (Chapter 219 of the Laws of Hong Kong), that Central Fly possesses good title to the Property;
-
(b) the Purchaser having completed its due diligence review on the business, financial and legal aspects of Central Fly and such review does not show any material irregularity on the affairs of Central Fly; and
-
(c) the warranties in the Formal Sale and Purchase Agreement remain true and accurate in all material aspects on Completion.
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Completion
Subject to the fulfilment of the Conditions above, Completion shall take place on the Completion Date.
Guarantee
Pursuant to the terms of the Formal Sale and Purchase Agreement for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the Completion Date, the Company irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Purchaser, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the due observance and performance by the Vendor of its obligations as contained in the Formal Sale and Purchase Agreement and undertakes and agrees to indemnify the Purchaser against all losses, costs , expenses and damages sustained by the Purchaser as a result of any default by the Vendor of any such obligations.
The period of the guarantee was arrived at after negotiation between the parties such that the guarantee period would cover for at least one full financial year after Completion. It was a commercial decision between the parties during negotiation of the Provisional Sales and Purchase Agreement that the relevant time limit is to be two years from Completion. The Directors consider that the time limit of two years from completion is in line with the market practice.
The obligations of the Vendor under the Formal Sale and Purchase Agreement include, among others, the obligations to sell the Sale Share to the Purchaser and to refund the Deposits and any partial consideration paid by the Purchaser to the Vendor, in the event that the Formal Sale and Purchase Agreement is terminated as a result of the non-fulfilment of the Conditions by the Completion Date. The Company may be liable for monetary compensation as the Vendor’s guarantor, if its guarantee is breached.
The maximum liability of the Vendor and the Vendor’s guarantor under the Formal Sale and Purchase Agreement is HK$206,000,000, being the Consideration.
INFORMATION OF CENTRAL FLY
Central Fly is a company incorporated in the BVI with limited liability. The principal business activity of Central Fly is property investment.
Set out below is the financial information of Central Fly as extracted from the unaudited interim report of the Company for the six months ended 31 December 2016 and the audited financial statements of the Company for the years ended 30 June 2015 and 2016 respectively:

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The unaudited total asset value of Central Fly for the year ended 31 December 2016 is approximately HK$228,642,000.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL
The Group is principally engaged in property investment and trading, property development and provision of renovation services.
In light of the gain from the Disposal, the Board considers that the Disposal represents a good opportunity for realisation of the Group’s investment properties. The Company currently has no intention to dispose its remaining investment proporties.
Further, the proceeds from the Disposal can further strengthen the cash position of the Group and will allow the Group to reallocation its resources for its principal activities.
Taking into account the abovementioned factors, the Directors consider that the terms and conditions of the Disposal are fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms and are in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.
FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL
Following Completion, Central Fly will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company and the financial results of Central Fly will cease to be consolidated into those of the Company.
The cumulative gain from the Disposal of approximately HK$6,500,000 will be made upon Completion. The net asset of the Group will also be decreased by approximately HK$13,768,000 immediately after Completion, since a fair value gain of approximately HK$20,284,000 has been recognised up to 30 June 2016. The cash/working capital of the Group will be increased by approximately HK$203,300,000 upon Completion. As such, the Board considers that the Disposal will have a positive impact on the net asset value and cash/working capital of the Group.
GAIN OR LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE DISPOSAL
The Disposal is expected to recognise a cumulative gain before tax of approximately HK$6,500,000 to the Group, which is calculated with the net asset value of Central Fly calculated at cost based on the Consideration (i) less the net asset value of Central Fly as at 30 June 2016 of approximately HK$24,389,000, all outstanding shareholder’s loan of Central Fly of HK$193,518,000 and the related costs and expenses of the Group of approximately HK$2,700,000, and (ii) plus the fair value gain recognised up to 30 June 2016 of approximately HK$20,284,000 and the amount for certain material subsequent movements to date with the net effect on decrease in net asset value of HK$840,000. Subject to audit, the actual amount of the gain on the Disposal to be recognised by the Group will depend on the net asset value of Central Fly as at Completion and therefore may be different from the amount mentioned above. The estimated loss from the Disposal recognised for the year ended 30 June 2017 in the amount of HK$13,768,000, with the net asset value of Central Fly calculated at carrying value, is calculated based on the Consideration (i) less the net asset value of Central Fly as at 30 June 2016 of approximately
– 8 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
HK$24,389,000, all outstanding shareholder’s loan of Central Fly of HK$193,518,000 and the related costs and expenses of the Group of approximately HK$2,700,000, and (ii) plus the amount for certain material subsequent movements to date with the net effect on decrease in net asset value of HK$840,000.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds from the Disposal shared by the Group which will be used for its principal activities for acquisition of properties for investment, trading and development will be approximately HK$203,300,000 calculated based on the Consideration less the related costs and expenses payable of approximately HK$2,700,000. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has not identified any specific properties for acquisition.
IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES
As all the relevant percentages exceed 25% but are below 75%, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction on the part of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 13 June 2017, Mr. Pong, an executive Director and Chairman of the Company and Virtue Partner are beneficially interested in approximately 60.45% of the issue share capital of the Company.
Pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules, Shareholders’ approval of the Disposal may be given by way of written Shareholders’ approval in lieu of holding a general meeting if (1) no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a general meeting for the approval of the Disposal; and (2) the written Shareholders’ approval has been obtained from a Shareholder or a closely allied group of Shareholders who together hold more than 50% of the voting rights at that general meeting to approve the Disposal.
Pursuant to Rule 14.41(a) of the Listing Rules, the Company is required to despatch a circular containing, among other things, details of the Disposal within fifteen (15) business days after the publication of the announcement, which shall be on or before 4 July 2017. The Company applied to the Stock Exchange for a waiver from strict compliance with Rule 14.41(a) of the Listing Rules for the despatch of this circular, as has intended that this circular has to provide details in relation to the Formal Sale and Purchase Agreement which would not be entered into until 17 July 2017 and has received approval from the Stock Exchange to the waiver application.

To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder has a material interest in the Formal Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, and no Shareholder or his close associates is required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a general meeting for the approval of the Disposal. Written approval of the Disposal has been obtained from the following Shareholders:

|---|---|---|
| 60.45% |
Note: The entire issued share capital of Virtue Partner is beneficially owned by Mr. Pong.
As such, no general meeting will be convened for the purpose of approving the Disposal.

properties under development held by those associates. Under the guarantees, the Company would be liable to pay the bank if the bank is unable to recover the loans.
Save as aforesaid and apart from intra-group liabilities, the Group did not have any outstanding mortgages, charges, debentures, loan capital, debt securities, loans, bank overdraft or other similar indebtedness, financial leases or hire purchase commitments, liabilities under acceptances or acceptance credits or guarantees or other material contingent liabilities as at 31 May 2017.
Disclaimers
Saved as aforesaid, and apart from intra-group liabilities, and normal accounts payable, the Group did not have any loan capital issued or agreed to be issued, bank overdrafts, loans, debt securities issued and outstanding, any authorized or otherwise created but unissued term loans or other borrowings, indebtedness in nature of borrowings, liabilities under acceptances (other than trade bills) or acceptance credits, debentures, mortgages, charges, finance leases or hire purchase commitments, which are either guaranteed, unguaranteed, secured, or unsecured, guarantees or other material contingent liabilities outstanding at the close of business on 31 May 2017. The Directors confirm that there is no material change in the indebtedness and contingent liability of the Group from the close of business on 31 May 2017 to the Latest Practicable Date.
MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE
The Directors confirm that there was no material adverse change in the financial or trading position or outlook of the Group since 30 June 2016, being the date up to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Group were made, and up to the Latest Practicable Date.
FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECT OF THE GROUP
The growth of Hong Kong economy remained moderate for the nine months ended 31 March 2017 and the property market showed a brisk performance in late 2016 and the first quarter of 2017. The Hong Kong Government (the “ Government ”) continued to put in significant effort to manage demand and reduce the possible risks to financial stability arising from an exuberant property market. The Government also sustained its effort of raising flat supply through land sale program and other terms of land supply sources. Looking forward, market sentiment in the near future may still be influenced by the US Federal Reserve’s recent repeated hesitations in lifting interest rates, which implied an interest rate up trend that would be more gradual than earlier expected.
With the purpose of offering better returns to the Shareholders, the Group decided to concentrate on property investment and trading, and development businesses whilst continuing the property renovation business of the Group. As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 13 June 2017, the Group has disposed of its entire issued share capital in Central Fly to obtain capital for acquisition of properties for investment, trading and development. The Group believed that the business of property investment and trading both locally and internationally can broaden the revenue base and benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole in the long run.
– I-2 –
APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
Despite the uncertainty in Hong Kong and global economy, we are confident that Hong Kong will remain relevant and vital in its own right and as part of China. The Group will continue to explore potential property investment and trading opportunities with a view to have a diversified and balanced portfolio and to provide steady income source to the Group. The Group is conscious to monitor and analyze the impact of the local and global economy so as to make cautious business decisions and to adjust our development plan if necessary so as to maximize the return to the Shareholders.

The Board of Directors Winfull Group Holdings Limited Unit A, 6/F 9 Queen’s Road Central Hong Kong
Dear Sirs,
- RE: Valuation of Portion No. 4, Flat No. 23, Shop Nos. 23A & 23B on Ground Floor and No. 23 on Mezzanine Floor, Wing Lee Building, Nos. 27, 29, 31, 31A, 31B & 31C Kimberley Road,, Kowloon, Hong Kong (the “Property”)
In accordance with the instructions received from Winfull Group Holdings Limited (the “ Company ”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter together referred to as the “ Group ”) for us to carry out a valuation of the Property to be disposed of, we confirm that we have carried out property inspections, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market value of the property interests as at 13 June 2017 (referred to as the “ Valuation Date ”) for the purpose of incorporation in the circular of the Group.
BASIS OF VALUATION
Our valuation of the property interests represents the market value which is defined by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors (“ HKIS ”) Valuation Standards 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 or purchase (or transaction) and without offset for any associated taxes or potential taxes.
– II-1 –
APPENDIX II
INDEPENDENT VALUATION REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY
In valuing the property interests, we have complied with all the requirements contained in Chapter 5 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the HKIS Valuation Standards (2012 Edition) published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.
VALUATION METHODOLOGY
We have valued the property interests of property on market basis and the direct comparison method is adopted where comparison based on prices realised on actual sales price of comparable property is made. Comparable properties of similar size, character, and location are analysed and carefully weighted against all the respective advantages and disadvantages of each property in order to arrive at a fair comparison of values.
VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS
Our valuations have been made on the assumption that the seller sells the property interests on the open market in their existing states without the benefit of a deferred term contracts, leasebacks, joint ventures, management agreements or any similar arrangements, which could serve to affect the values of the property interests.
No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages or amount owing on any property interests nor for any expense or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, we have assumed that the properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect their value.
Unless stated as otherwise, we have assumed that the Property has been constructed, occupied and used in full compliance with, and without contravention of all laws, except only where otherwise stated. We have further assumed that, for any use of the Property upon which this report is based, all required licenses, permit, certificate and authorizations have been obtained.
Other special assumptions of the property interests, if any, have been stated out in the footnotes of the valuation certificate attached herewith.
TITLE INVESTIGATION
We have carried out title searches at the Land Registry for the property interests located in Hong Kong. We have been, in some instances, provided with the extracts of the documents relating to the Property. However, we have not verified ownership of the Property to verify the existence of any amendments which do not appear on the copies handed to us. All documents have been used for reference only.
