LETTER FROM THE BOARD
BACKGROUND
Xinji Hotelex Hospitality Supplies Center, being the second largest shopping mall of the Group, is one of the well-known hospitality supplies wholesale markets in Guangzhou, the PRC. The Existing Lease entered into with SVSEC in respect of the land on which Xinji Hotelex Hospitality Supplies Center is located will expire on 31 May 2026.
On 14 October 2025, the Bid Invitation Documents, which have been considered and approved at the Shangjiao Village shareholders' meeting, were issued by the Rural Collective Assets Trading Center. The Bid Invitation Documents set out details of the Bidding Process for the lease of the Properties.
Procedures of the Bidding Process
The Bidding Process is organised by the Rural Collective Assets Trading Center for and on behalf of the SVSEC. Pursuant to the Bid Invitation Documents, the Bidding Process is conducted in accordance with the provisions of Guangzhou Municipal Government Order No. 119, "Measures for the Management of Rural Collective Assets Trading in Guangzhou"* («廣州市農村集體資產交易管理辦法») and does not constitute a public tender.
The Bidding Process will be held on 17 December 2025. It is open for application from 15 October 2025 to 15 December 2025 during office hours (i.e. 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.) (except for Friday afternoons and public holidays).
During the Bidding Process, all bidders must first indicate their agreement to bid at or above the Reserve Price, and each bid will thereafter be increased by RMB10,000 or its integral multiple, but subject to a maximum amount of RMB100,000.
The Lease Agreement will be awarded to the bidder submitting the highest bid not less than the Reserve Price. If the successful bidder withdraws its winning bid, its security deposit paid for due compliance with the rules of the Bidding Process will be forfeited, and the SVSEC may offer the award successively to the second and then the third-highest bidders at their respective bid prices, provided that no price falls below the Reserve Price.
If the Group is the successful bidder, the SVSEC and the Group will enter into the Lease Agreement shortly after the public announcement of the Bidding Process results, with an expected execution date falling on a Business Day between 25 December 2025 to 31 December 2025.
If the Group is not the successful bidder and no written objection or complaint regarding the procedures or results of the Bidding Process is received during the five (5)-Business-Day public announcement period of the Bidding Process results, the security deposit paid by the Group shall be refunded in full without interest within five (5) Business Days after the end of the said public announcement period.
After the conclusion of the Bidding Process, the Company will announce the results and the final price as soon as practicable, irrespective of whether the Group is the successful bidder.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED MANDATE
In order to continue the operation of Xinji Hotelex Hospitality Supplies Center through the Properties, the Group intends to apply to participate in and bid at the Bidding Process for the Possible Lease. If the Group is the successful bidder, it will enter into the Lease Agreement shortly after the public announcement of the Bidding Process results and the Company would not have sufficient time to seek the approval of the Shareholders that is required under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Board proposes to seek prior approval of the Shareholders at the EGM for, inter alia, the mandate to be granted to the Directors to appoint a person to bid on behalf of any PRC subsidiary of the Company at the Bidding Process at or above the Reserve Price but not exceed the Maximum Bid Price and if successful to proceed with the Possible Lease and enter into the Lease Agreement.
Pursuant to the Bid Invitation Documents, if an objection or complaint is raised regarding the procedures of the Bidding Process or the qualifications of the successful bidder, subject to the resolution of the matter, the Lease Agreement will be entered into within five (5) Business Days after the date of resolution. Without a set time frame for resolving the matter, the expected execution date of the Lease Agreement would become uncertain in such circumstance. Such mandate is therefore proposed to be valid for 12 months from the date of the Shareholders' approval.
Conditions precedent for participating in the Bidding Process
The participation in the Bidding Process by the Group shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i) the approval of the Proposed Mandate by the Shareholders in accordance with the Listing Rules being obtained;
(ii) the full payment of a security deposit for due compliance with the rules of the Bidding Process of RMB20,000,000; and
(iii) the completion of the application for participating in the Bidding Process by producing the application form, payment record of the security deposit, identification document of the legal representative (法定代表人) or authorised representative of the applicant and other required documents in respect of the applicant (including business licence, search results of national enterprise credit information publicity platform, real estate title certificate, capital verification report and tax payment certificate) during the prescribed period.
If the Proposed Mandate is not granted by the Shareholders, the Group will not submit any application, nor pay the security deposit, for participating in the Bidding Process.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Bid price
The Reserve Price is RMB3,621,840 per month. The Maximum Bid Price for the Possible Lease under the Proposed Mandate shall be an amount equivalent to 5% above the valuation of the Properties as assessed by the Valuer, which is determined having taken into account, among other things, (i) the Reserve Price, (ii) the preliminary valuation of the Properties as at 30 September 2025, and (iii) the expected profitability arising from the Properties, which remains positive even if the winning bid is 5% above the valuation.
The expected profitability refers to core operating profit excluding non-cash fair value losses on investment properties, which stem from recent PRC property market declines due to macroeconomic factors and do not impact cash flows or operations:
(i) Profitability remains positive on a core basis (excluding fair value losses). For the three years ended 31 December 2024, rental income generated from the Properties was RMB33 million to RMB48 million annually, with core operating profit at RMB18 million to RMB23 million (per Appendix II to this circular). The lower rental income recognised in previous years is due to the accounting rule for finance leases, where the lessor recognises finance income over the lease term based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the lessor's net investment in the lease. This results in lower recognised income in later years of the lease term. However, the actual cash inflow for rental income was RMB70.4 million in 2024, which exceeds the estimated maximum rental expense of RMB62 million per year, ensuring positive cash flow profitability even if the winning bid is 5% above the valuation. While broader retail market trends in Guangzhou indicate challenges, such as rising vacancy rates and cautious brand expansion (as further detailed below), the Board anticipates sustained or improved profitability post-lease for Xinji Hotelex Hospitality Supplies Center, given its specialised focus on the hospitality supplies wholesale sector. This optimism is based on strong sub-leasing demand from established and niche tenants in this resilient market segment, tenant enhancements, and cost controls, which will sufficiently cover the rental expenses.
(ii) Based on (i), the Board considers the Maximum Bid Price fair, reasonable, and in the Company's interests because it aligns with the independent valuation; secures core operations (Xinji Hotelex Hospitality Supplies Center has been contributing approximately 12-16% of Group revenue in the past three years); the alternative of not securing the lease could result in business disruption, relocation costs and loss of market share to competitors; and securing core operations supports liquidity and long-term value via positive core metrics. The Maximum Bid Price is set to avoid losses, as core profitability remains positive, and the Group would not proceed if it projected a loss.
The Directors view the Maximum Bid Price as commercially reasonable under current market conditions.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Group will consider, among other things, the following factors in making a decision on whether to bid and its final bid price at the Bidding Process, which will in any event not be less than the Reserve Price and not exceed the Maximum Bid Price:
(i) the valuation report prepared by the Valuer in respect of the Properties in existing state as at 30 September 2025;
(ii) the availability of internal resources of the Group;
(iii) the property market conditions at the material time;
(iv) the bid(s) made by competitor(s) (if any) at the Bidding Process.
The Possible Lease will be financed by internal resources of the Group.
Based on the valuation of the Properties prepared by the Valuer as at 30 September 2025, the market rent of the Properties in existing state is approximately RMB4,930,000 per month (excluding management fees and other operative outgoings). For further details, please refer to Appendix IV to this circular.
As stated in Greater China Retail Supply and Demand Trends published by Cushman & Wakefield in September 2025, in Guangzhou, (i) despite a robust recovery in consumer demand, brands have maintained a cautious approach to expansion; this, coupled with the fact that new projects in non-core areas are still in the initial leasing phase, has led to a citywide vacancy rate increase of 1.9 percentage points from mid-last year, reaching 9.2%; (ii) in response to slowing leasing demand, some projects have adjusted rents for prime retail spaces to attract high-quality tenants; the average rent in premium shopping centers has decreased by 6.1% compared to mid-last year, settling at RMB672.6 per square meter per month; (iii) looking ahead, an additional 976,000 square meters of new premium shopping center supply is expected between the second half of 2025 and 2026, with the Panyu and Liwan business districts accounting for nearly 40%. However, these trends primarily reflect general retail and premium shopping center dynamics, whereas the Properties — focused on the specialised hospitality supplies wholesale market — benefit from a more stable tenant ecosystem and consistent demand. The Board believes this positions the Group to mitigate such market pressures through targeted tenant upgrades and operational efficiencies, aligning with the anticipated profitability outlined above. The Group therefore intends to bid and will adopt a cautious bidding strategy, prioritising bids that align closely with the Reserve Price.
The net loss after taxation of the Group attributable to the Properties for the year ended 31 December 2023 was approximately RMB5,861,288. Such net loss was primarily attributable to the decrease in fair value of the Properties of approximately RMB24,156,519 (after taxation). Excluding the change in fair value of the Properties, the core profit attributable to the Properties was approximately RMB18,295,231 for the year ended 31 December 2023. The net loss after taxation of the Group attributable to the Properties for the year ended 31 December 2024 was approximately RMB14,350,996. Such net loss was primarily attributable to the decrease in fair value of the Properties of approximately RMB36,932,149 (after taxation). Excluding the change in fair value of the Properties, the
- 11 -
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
core profit attributable to the Properties was approximately RMB22,581,153 for the year ended 31 December 2024. For further details, please refer to Appendix II to this circular.
Having considered the Reserve Price and the mechanism of the Bidding Process, which awards the Possible Lease to the highest bidder at or above the Reserve Price following a transparent and competitive process, the Directors believe that the Possible Lease will be at least at fair current market value and not be detrimental to the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
INFORMATION ON THE GROUP AND SVSEC
The Group is principally engaged in the operation of shopping malls for hospitality supplies and home furnishings which generate rental revenue in the PRC.
SVSEC is a collective economic organisation established in the PRC. To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, SVSEC is principally engaged in collective assets management, collective resource development and utilisation, agricultural production development and services and financial management. To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, as at the Latest Practicable Date, (i) there is no single largest shareholder in SVSEC; (ii) SVSEC consists of approximately 4,700 individual members, and such members are joint stakeholders of the organisation; and (iii) each of SVSEC and its ultimate beneficial owner(s) is an Independent Third Party. As advised by the PRC legal adviser, each current individual villager in Shangjiao Village holds an equal stake in the SVSEC.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSED MANDATE
Xinji Hotelex Hospitality Supplies Center, being the second largest shopping mall of the Group, commenced operation in 2007. The Group has leased the land use rights from SVSEC for the operation of Xinji Hotelex Hospitality Supplies Center since 2006. If the Group is the successful bidder, and the Possible Lease materialises, the Group will continue to operate Xinji Hotelex Hospitality Supplies Center through the Properties.
The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the opinion that the terms of the Possible Lease (including the Maximum Bid Price) are fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms and the Proposed Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE POSSIBLE LEASE ON THE GROUP
(i) Right-of-use asset and lease liability
The Possible Lease is a long-term lease for a duration of 20 years. Pursuant to the HKFRS 16, the entering into of the Possible Lease as a lessee will require the Group to recognise the right-of-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
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
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 enlarged Group (the "Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information") set out in Appendix III to this circular for details of the accounting treatment of the Lease Agreement.
Based on the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, assuming the transactions contemplated under the Possible Lease was completed as at 30 June 2025, the Group would initially recognise investment properties of approximately RMB840.54 million and the corresponding lease liabilities of approximately RMB840.54 million.
(ii) Profitability
The Directors are of the view that the future return to be generated from the Possible Lease 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
The Group currently intends to finance the future rent payments under the Possible Lease by the future rental income arising from the Possible Lease and/or internal resources of the Group. As at 30 June 2025, the Group had cash and bank balances of approximately RMB654.54 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 this 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 Possible Lease becoming effective.
RIGHT-OF-USE ASSET
Assuming that the Group is selected as the successful bidder and the winning bid is the Maximum Bid Price, the unaudited value of the right-of-use asset to be recognised by the Company under the terms of the Lease Agreement amounted to approximately RMB840,544,000, which is the present value of total consideration payable throughout the lease term under the Lease Agreement in accordance with HKFRS 16. Incremental borrowing rate of $5.58\%$ is applied to compute the present value of total consideration payable under the Lease Agreement.
- 13 -
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
In accordance with HKFRS 16 "Leases", the entering into of the Lease Agreement as lessee will require the Group to recognise the Properties as a right-of-use asset on its consolidated statement of financial position, thus the Lease Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder will be regarded as an acquisition of asset by the Group under the Listing Rules.
Assuming that the unaudited value of the right-of-use asset to be recognised by the Group pursuant to HKFRS 16 in respect of the Possible Lease is approximately RMB840,544,000 as determined by the Valuer based on the Maximum Bid Price, as one or more of the applicable percentage ratio(s) (as defined under the Listing Rules) in respect of the Possible Lease will exceed 100%, the Possible Lease, if materialised, will constitute a very substantial acquisition on the part of the Company and is therefore subject to reporting, announcement and Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
If the Group is the successful bidder, it will enter into the Lease Agreement shortly after the public announcement of the Bidding Process results and would not have sufficient time to seek the approval of the Shareholders that is required under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Directors propose to seek the Shareholders' prior approval for the grant of the Proposed Mandate.

APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP
As disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024, the Group is principally engaged in the operation of shopping malls for hospitality supplies and home furnishings which generate rental revenue in the PRC. The Group's revenue is mainly derived from the operating lease rental income and revenue generated from property management service of our Group's owned/leased portfolio shopping malls. The Group's revenue decreased slightly by approximately 6.8% to approximately RMB254.8 million for the financial year ended 31 December 2024 as compared to approximately RMB273.4 million recorded for the financial year ended 31 December 2023. Lower revenue for the financial year ended 31 December 2024 as compared to the financial year ended 31 December 2023 was mainly due to the lower occupancy rate of shopping malls during the year.
The year 2024 was a year full of challenges and opportunities for the Group. Looking forward, the Board believes that the economy will recover in an orderly manner in 2025, which is expected to have a positive impact on the Group's six main business lines.
These 12 months look likely to be challenging, and the Group is uncertain about wider prospects of economic recovery. Internally, the Group will continue to adjust its operational strategies to address market changes. We therefore remain cautious about our own performance, but quite confident that we have the reputation, the quality and the management experience to manage what lies ahead successfully.
We will maintain a model of rapid development of light asset projects featured by "Brand Export, Management Export, and Cooperative Operation", while establishing a vertical e-commerce platform for the hospitality supplies industry and expanding the online shopping mall business, thereby further expanding the market share and brand influence of the Group. We will focus on the platform sharing concept of "Industrial Alliance and Collective Development", enhancing the brand stickiness along with the development of the industry. Our aim is to maintain our market leadership status, to continue our reputation for premium quality, and consequently to deliver consistently steady returns for investors. Meanwhile, the Group will continue to expand the business of property management service (especially through the acquisition and merger of mature property management service projects), with an aim to increase the stable cash flow of the Group, so as to advance the interests of the Company and its Shareholders, which will bring sustainable and stable development to the Group.

(A) UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
Basis of Preparation of 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 income statement and statement of comprehensive income of the Enlarged Group (the "Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information"), which has been prepared by the Directors 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 in relation to possible lease of properties by the Group (the "Transaction") as if it had taken place on 30 June 2025 for the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities and for the unaudited pro forma consolidated income statement and 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 June 2025 as set out in the Group's published interim report dated 29 August 2025;
(b) the unaudited condensed consolidated income statement and statement of comprehensive income for the six months ended 30 June 2025 as set out in the Group's published interim report dated 29 August 2025; and
(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.

Notes to the unaudited pro forma financial information
(1) The balances are extracted from the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2025 set out on pages 22 to 23 of the Company's published unaudited interim report for the six months ended 30 June 2025.
(2) The amounts are extracted from the unaudited condensed consolidated income statement and statement of comprehensive income of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2025 set out on pages 20 to 21 of the Company's published unaudited interim report for the six months ended 30 June 2025.
(3) The adjustment represents the security deposit of approximately RMB20,000,000 payable by the Group upon the Lease Agreement becoming effective. The security deposit was discounted to its present value of approximately RMB6,752,000 using a discount rate of 5.58% and classified as non-current other receivables. This adjustment is considered as additional lease payments for the right-of-use assets and expected to have a continuing financial effect on the Group as the security deposit is refundable upon expiry of the Lease Agreement.
- III-5 -
APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
(4) The pro forma financial information is prepared in a manner consistent with both the format and accounting policies adopted by the Group in its published unaudited interim report 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 Transaction is a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Group remeasures the lease liability based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification. The Group accounts for the remeasurement of lease liabilities by making corresponding adjustments to the relevant right-of-use asset. As a proforma result of the Transaction, lease liabilities will be remeasured at the amount of approximately RMB840,544,000 and the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities would then be increased by approximately RMB833,414,000 and RMB833,414,000, respectively.
Upon initial recognition of the Transaction, the Enlarged Group recognised a deferred tax asset and a deferred tax liability due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of these items. The deferred tax asset of approximately RMB208,354,000 was recognised in respect of the lease liability, while the deferred tax liability of RMB208,354,000 was recognised in respect of the right-of-use asset, applying an Enterprise Income Tax rate of the People's Republic of China at 25%. These adjustments are recognised as if the lease arrangement had been effective on 30 June 2025, have no net impact on the Enlarged Group.
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.

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT
The following is the text of a letter and a valuation certificate prepared for the purpose of incorporation in this circular received from Masterpiece Valuation Advisory Limited, an independent valuer, in connection with its valuation as of 30 September 2025 of the property interests.

17 November 2025
The Board of Directors
Xinji Shaxi Group Co., Ltd
1st Floor, Xinjicheng Club,
No. 250 Nanda Road, Panyu District,
Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province,
the PRC
Dear Sirs/Madams,
INSTRUCTIONS
In accordance with the instructions of Xinji Shaxi Group Co., Ltd (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (hereinafter together referred to as the "Group") for us to carry out the rental valuation of the property interests of the shops located on the land at 101 Yingbin Road, Shangjiao Village, Luopu Street, Panyu District, Guangzhou City, the PRC (the "Property 1") (廣州市番禺區洛浦街上激村迎賓路101號) and the land at 2 Shangjiao Street, Panyu District, Guangzhou City, the PRC (the "Property 2") (廣州市番禺區上激大街2號物業(上激大街西側臨街商鋪)) (collectively, the "Properties"). We confirm that we have carried out the inspection, made relevant enquiries and searches and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the Market Rent of the property interests of the Properties as of 30 September 2025 (the "Valuation Date").
VALUATION STANDARDS
In valuing the property interests, we have complied with all the requirements set out in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules"), the HKIS Valuation Standards (2024 Edition) published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors and the International Valuation Standards published from time to time by the International Valuation Standards Council.
APPENDIX IV
PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT
BASIS OF VALUATION
Our valuation is carried out on a Market Rent basis, which is defined as "The estimated amount for which an interest in real property should be leased on the valuation date between a willing lessor and willing lessee on appropriate lease terms in an arm's length transaction, after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion".
VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS
Our valuation of the Properties excludes an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangement, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the letting, or any element of special value or costs of letting or offset for any associated taxes.
No allowance has been made in our report for any deferred term contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar agreement, charges, mortgages or amounts owing on any of the property interests valued nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting the lease. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the Properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions, and outgoings of an onerous nature, which could affect their market rent.
In the course of our valuation of the Properties in the PRC, we have assumed that transferable land use rights in respect of the Properties for a specific term at nominal annual land use fees have been granted and that any premium has already been fully settled. We have relied on the advice given by the Group regarding the title to the Properties. For the purpose of our valuation, we have assumed that the grantee has an enforceable title to the Properties.
In valuing the Properties in the PRC, we have assumed that the grantees or the users of the Properties have free and uninterrupted rights to use or to assign the Properties for the whole of the unexpired term as granted.
Unless noted in the report, vacant possession is assumed for the Properties concerned.
Moreover, we have assumed that the design and construction of the Properties are/will be in compliance with the local planning regulations and requirements and had been/would have been duly examined and approved by the relevant authorities.
Continued uses assume the Properties will be used for the purposes for which the Properties are designed and built, or to which they are currently adapted. The valuation of the Properties in continued uses does not represent the amount that might be realised from piecemeal disposition of the Properties in the open market.
- IV-2 -
APPENDIX IV
PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT
No environmental impact study has been ordered or made. Full compliance with applicable national, provincial, and local environmental regulations and laws is assumed. Moreover, it is assumed that all required licences, consents or other legislative or administrative authority from any local, provincial, or national government or private entity or organisation either have been or can be obtained or renewed for any use which the report covers.
It is also assumed that all applicable zoning and use regulations and restrictions have been complied with unless nonconformity has been stated, defined, and considered in the valuation report. In addition, it is assumed that the utilisation of the land and improvements are within the boundaries of the Properties described and that no encroachment or trespass exists, unless noted in the report.
We have further assumed that the Properties were not transferred or involved in any contentious or non-contentious dispute as of the valuation date. We have also assumed that there was not any material change in the Properties between the dates of our inspection and the Valuation Date.
VALUATION METHODOLOGY
In the course of our valuation, unless otherwise stated, we have valued the Properties in their designated uses with the understanding that the Properties will be used as such (hereafter referred to as "continued uses").
In valuing the property interests, we have valued by market approach which is generally by comparing recent market evidence of similar properties located in the neighbourhood area of the Properties. Adjustments are considered to reflect the differences in various aspects including market conditions, size, location, time, age, quality, and any other relevant factors when comparing such leases against the Properties. This approach is commonly used to value properties where reliable market evidence is available.
The market approach was selected as the most appropriate and reliable method. This is because there is an abundance of recent, reliable, and comparable sales evidence available. This approach most directly reflects the actions of buyers and sellers in the current market, providing the best indication of the subject property's market value. While income and cost approaches are not suitable for assessing market rent due to their inherent methodological limitations for this purpose.
TITLE INVESTIGATION
We have been provided with copies of documents in relation to the title of the property interests in the PRC. Where possible, we have examined the original documents to verify the existing title to the property interest in the PRC and any material encumbrance that might be attached to the property interests or any tenancy amendment. All documents have been used for reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximate. We are unable to ascertain the title of the Properties in the PRC and we have therefore relied on the advice given by the Group and the Company's PRC legal adviser — Guangdong Lianyue Law Firm regarding the interests of the Group in the Properties in the PRC.
- IV-3 -
APPENDIX IV
PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT
In valuing the Properties, we have assumed that the owner of the Properties has an enforceable title to the Properties and has free and uninterrupted rights to use, occupy, assign, or lease the Properties for the whole or part of the unexpired term as granted. We have not verified the authentication of the real estate title certificates and we assume that the copies of relevant documents provided by the Company are true and accurate.
SITE INVESTIGATION
We have inspected the exteriors and, where possible, the interior of the Properties. The site inspection was carried out on 19 August 2025 by Greivis Sze (holder of Bachelor Degree in Real Estate, Birmingham City University and Director of Masterpiece Valuation Advisory Limited). However, we have not carried out an investigation on site to determine the suitability of ground conditions and services for any development thereon. Our valuation has been prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory. We have further assumed that there is no significant pollution or contamination in the locality which may affect any future developments.
Moreover, no structural surveys have been undertaken, but in the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects. We are not, however, able to report whether the Properties is free of rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No tests were carried out on any of the utility services.
SOURCE OF INFORMATION
Unless otherwise stated, we shall rely to a considerable extent on the information provided to us by the Company or the legal or other professional advisers on such matters as statutory notices, planning approvals, zoning, easements, tenures, completion date of buildings, development proposal, identification of properties, particulars of occupation, site areas, floor areas, matters relating to tenure, tenancies, and all other relevant matters.
We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Company. We have also sought confirmation from the Company that no material factors have been omitted from the information supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view and we have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld.
We have not carried out detailed measurements to verify the correctness of the areas in respect of the Properties but have assumed that the areas shown on the title documents and official site plans handed to us are correct. All documents and contracts have been used as reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximations. No on-site measurement has been taken.

The SVSEC is entitled to lease the rental projects to external parties.

During the year, due to the reduction of the B2C platform business of the Group, and efforts to streamline its staff and reduce labour costs, the Group recorded operating profit for the business of online shopping mall during the year. The operating profit margin of the online shopping mall during FY2022 has increased to approximately 8% (FY2021: -33%).
During the FY2023, our online shopping mall generated revenue of approximately RMB11.3 million for the sales of goods (FY2022: RMB13.7 million). Due to the increase in purchase costs, the weakening of consumer purchasing power and other macroeconomic factors, the operating profit margin of the online shopping mall during FY2023 has decreased to approximately 6% (FY2022: 8%).
During the FY2024, our online shopping mall generated revenue of approximately RMB8.1 million for the sales of goods (FY2023: RMB11.3 million). The operating profit margin of the online shopping mall during the FY2024 was approximately 9% (FY2023: 6%).

APPENDIX V MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE GROUP
Exhibition Management Business
We provide exhibition management services for the China Hospitality Expo (華南酒店業博覽會) ("CHE") in the PRC annually. CHE is considered as the major managed exhibition of the Group. CHE provides a one-stop trade platform for global hospitality supplies providers and purchasers to broaden their sale and purchase channels. Because of the continuous impact of the global outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the Company has already suspended the organisation of exhibitions for CHE since 2020 and no revenue was generated from CHE.
Outlook
Looking ahead, the Group believes that the general outlook for the business environment in which the Group operates will continue to be challenging, but the Group will continue to adjust its operational strategies to address market changes. In light of the uncertain business environment, the Group will strive to expand the business of property management service and seek new business opportunities from time to time in order to broaden the source of income and diversify its business, thereby bringing sustainable and stable development to the Group in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Board will remain prudent about the prospects of the Group's six main business lines in the long term. Meanwhile, the Group continues to solidify its business foundation and remains committed to its six main business lines, and will maintain a model of rapid development of light asset projects featured by "Brand Export, Management Export, and Cooperative Operation", while establishing a vertical e-commerce service platform for the hospitality supplies industry and expanding the online shopping mall business, thereby further expanding the market share and brand influence of the Group. The Group will continue to explore suitable business and investment opportunities to drive its business growth.
