II. RECENT RESTRUCTING OF THE FUND The following chart sets forth the shareholding structure of the Fund immediately prior to the execution of the First Amendment Agreement and the First GP Amendment Agreement: SOL 100% SOL HK 69.74%* The Company 100% Chance Bright KKR SPRE 50% 50% 50% Ultimate General Partner Management Company 50% General Partner 37.43% 1.07% 37.43% Fund 24.07% Other limited partners General partner interest Limited partner interest Equity interest * approximate percentage representing Sino-Ocean Land’s interest in the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date —7— LETTER FROM THE BOARD (i) First Amendment Agreement and First GP Amendment Agreement On 26 September 2014, SOL HK (through its wholly-owned subsidiary), the General Partner, KKR SPRE and the then other limited partners of the Fund entered into a first amendment agreement to amend the Fund LPA (the “First Amendment Agreement”), pursuant to which KKR SPRE and the then other limited partners of the Fund withdrew as limited partners of the Fund. Following the date of the First Amendment Agreement and before the date of the Second Amendment Agreement (as defined below), SOL HK (through its whollyowned subsidiary) was the sole limited partner of the Fund. In addition, on 26 September 2014, Chance Bright, the Ultimate General Partner, KKR SPRE and CCAH entered into a first amendment agreement to amend the GP LPA (the “First GP Amendment Agreement”) pursuant to which (i) KKR SPRE withdrew as a limited partner of the General Partner and (ii) CCAH was admitted as a new limited partner of the General Partner. As a result, Chance Bright and CCAH are the only two limited partners of the General Partner each with a capital commitment to the General Partner of USD1.05 million, as at the Latest Practicable Date. Further, on 26 September 2014, KKR SPRE sold and transferred all its interests in the JV Entities to CCAH. As a result, Chance Bright and CCAH co-own the JV Entities on an equal basis. —8— LETTER FROM THE BOARD The following chart sets forth the shareholding structure of the Fund immediately following the execution of the First Amendment Agreement, the First GP Amendment Agreement and completion of the aforesaid transfer of interests in the JV Entities: SOL 100% SOL HK 69.74%* The Company 100% Chance Bright CCAH 50% 50% Ultimate General Partner 50% Management Company 50% General Partner 2.78% 97.22% Fund General partner interest Limited partner interest Equity interest * approximate percentage representing Sino-Ocean Land’s interest in the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date —9— LETTER FROM THE BOARD (ii) Second Amendment Agreement On 21 October 2014, the General Partner, SOL HK (through its wholly-owned subsidiary), Chance Bright and CCAH entered into a second amendment agreement to amend the Fund LPA (the “Second Amendment Agreement”), pursuant to which (i) SOL HK (through its wholly-owned subsidiary) withdrew as limited partner of the Fund and (ii) Chance Bright and CCAH were admitted as new limited partners of the Fund and each of Chance Bright and CCAH made a capital commitment to the Fund of a nominal amount of USD100. As a result, Chance Bright and CCAH are the only two limited partners of the Fund, as at the Latest Practicable Date. Despite the withdrawal of the subsidiary of SOL HK (being a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sino-Ocean Land) as limited partner of the Fund, Sino-Ocean Land will continue to support the Group through its direct interests in the Company and by introducing real estate projects in the PRC for direct investment by the Group and/or indirect investment through the Fund by the Group. The following chart sets forth the shareholding structure of the Fund immediately following the execution of the Second Amendment Agreement: SOL 100% SOL HK 69.74%* The Company 100% Chance Bright CCAH 50% 50% Ultimate General Partner Management Company 50% 50% General Partner 50% 50% Fund General partner interest Limited partner interest Equity interest * approximate percentage representing Sino-Ocean Land’s interest in the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date — 10 — LETTER FROM THE BOARD (iii) Third Amendment Agreement On 5 November 2014, the General Partner, Chance Bright and CCAH entered into a third amendment agreement to amend the Fund LPA (the “Third Amendment Agreement”), pursuant to which the following key terms have been agreed. Term of the Fund The end of the term of the Fund has been amended from the fifth anniversary of 5 September 2011 (being 5 September 2016) to the fifth anniversary of 5 November 2014 (being 5 November 2019), with an option of up to two one-year extensions in the sole discretion of the General Partner. Investment period of the Fund The end of the investment period of the Fund has been amended from the third anniversary of 5 September 2011 (being 5 September 2014) to the third anniversary of 5 November 2014 (being 5 November 2017). (iv) CCAH’s investment in the Fund On 5 November 2014, the Fund SPV and SOL HK entered into the Acquisition Agreement at a total consideration of USD463 million. Further details are set out in Section VI under letter from the Board of this circular. On the same day, CCAH, as one of the limited partners of the Fund, entered into a subscription agreement with the Fund and the General Partner, pursuant to which CCAH agreed to increase its capital commitment to the Fund by USD250 million. — 11 — LETTER FROM THE BOARD The following chart sets forth the shareholding structure of the Fund immediately following the execution of the Third Amendment Agreement and CCAH’s investment into the Fund: SOL 100% SOL HK 69.74%* The Company 100% Chance Bright CCAH 50% 50% Ultimate General Partner Management Company 50% 50% General Partner 0% (1) 100% (1) Fund 100% Fund SPV General partner interest Limited partner interest Equity interest * approximate percentage representing Sino-Ocean Land’s interest in the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date Note (1) Percentage (rounded to the nearest integer) representing capital commitments of (i) a nominal amount of USD100 by Chance Bright; and (ii) USD250,000,100 by CCAH. Hence, Chance Bright, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as another limited partner of the Fund, opted and agreed to increase its capital commitment to the Fund by the same amount so that its economic interests in the Fund will not be diluted and can be maintained with CCAH on an equal basis. Further details are set out in Section III below. — 12 — LETTER FROM THE BOARD III. COMPANY’S INVESTMENT IN THE GENERAL PARTNER AND THE FUND On 17 November 2014 (after trading hours), the Ultimate General Partner, CCAH and Chance Bright entered into a second amendment agreement to amend the GP LPA (the “Second GP Amendment Agreement”), pursuant to which each of CCAH and Chance Bright agreed to increase their respective capital commitments to the General Partner, from USD1.05 million, by USD3.95 million, to USD5 million, as they wish to maintain their respective capital commitments to the General Partner on an equal basis. Completion of the Second GP Amendment Agreement is conditional upon the Independent Shareholders’ approval of the Capital Commitment at the EGM. Pursuant to a subscription agreement dated 17 November 2014 entered into between the General Partner and the Fund, the General Partner agreed to make a capital commitment to the Fund of USD10 million, representing around 2% of the total capital commitment to the Fund, so that its interest is aligned with other limited partners of the Fund. Completion of such subscription agreement is also conditional upon Independent Shareholders’ approval of the Capital Commitment at the EGM. The Directors are of the view that this structure is in line with the market practice to align the interests of the general partner and the limited partners and therefore, benefit the Fund’s fund raising ability. On 17 November 2014 (after trading hours), the General Partner, the Fund and Chance Bright entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which Chance Bright agreed to increase its capital commitment to the Fund by USD250 million, which is conditional upon the passing by the Independent Shareholders of the resolution(s) to approve the Subscription Agreement and the Capital Commitment at the EGM. The terms of the Second GP Amendment Agreement and the Subscription Agreement, including the amount of the Capital Commitment, are determined after arms’ length negotiation between the parties with reference to the capital requirement of the Fund and anticipated expenses of the JV Entities, respectively. The Company intends to fund the Capital Commitment from the proceeds to be raised from the issue of 1.3 billion convertible preference shares in the capital of the Company to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sino-Ocean Land, details of which were set out in the Company’s joint announcement with Sino-Ocean Land dated 26 October 2014 and the announcement and circular of the Company dated 24 November 2014 and 27 November 2014 respectively. Should such issuance of convertible preference shares not proceed, the Company intends to fund the Capital Commitment from its internal resources or borrowings from Sino-Ocean Land Group. If the Second GP Amendment Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and the Capital Commitment are not approved at the EGM: (a) no additional capital commitment will be made to the General Partner by either Chance Bright or CCAH such that Chance Bright and CCAH will maintain their interests (including rights and benefits) in each of the General Partner and the JV Entities (being the Ultimate General Partner and the Management Company) on an equal basis; and (b) no additional capital commitment by Chance Bright will be made to the Fund, and Chance Bright will only maintain a USD100 capital commitment to the Fund. — 13 — LETTER FROM THE BOARD In such event, the Board understands from CCAH that it intends to increase its capital commitment to the Fund from USD250 million to at least USD463 million to enable the Fund SPV to complete the Acquisition. As such, the economic interest of the Company in the Fund will be diluted to nearly 0% (as CCAH’s capital commitment to the Fund will amount to at least USD463 million but Chance Bright’s capital commitment to the Fund will only be at a nominal amount of USD100), but its interest (including rights and benefits) in each of the General Partner and the JV Entities will remain unchanged. The following chart sets forth the shareholding structure of the Fund following the execution of the Second GP Amendment Agreement and the Subscription Agreement (and after the Independent Shareholders’ approval has been obtained): SOL 100% 69.74%* The Company SOL HK 100% Chance Bright CCAH 50% 50% Ultimate General Partner Management Company 50% 50% General Partner 49% (2) 2% (2) 49% (2) Fund 100% Fund SPV General partner interest Limited partner interest Equity interest * Note approximate percentage representing Sino-Ocean Land’s interest in the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date (2) Percentage (rounded to the nearest integer) representing capital commitments of (i) USD10 million by the General Partner; (ii) USD250,000,100 by Chance Bright and (iii) USD250,000,100 by CCAH. — 14 — LETTER FROM THE BOARD IV. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND 1. Management of the Fund The management and operation of the Fund (being an exempted limited partnership registered under the laws of the Cayman Islands) shall be vested exclusively in the General Partner, who shall have the power on behalf and in the name of the Fund to carry out any and all of the purposes of the Fund and to perform all acts and enter into and perform all contracts and other undertakings that it may deem necessary or advisable or incidental thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, among other things, the General Partner is authorised and empowered in the name of and on behalf of the Fund to make, own, manage, supervise and dispose of investments of the Fund and to execute and deliver in the Fund’s name any and all instruments necessary to effectuate such transactions. The limited partners of the Fund are passive investors in the Fund and have no right to take part in the management or control of the Fund’s business or to act for or bind the Fund. 2. Management of the General Partner The management and operation of the General Partner (being an exempted limited partnership registered under the laws of the Cayman Islands) shall be vested exclusively in the Ultimate General Partner, who shall have the power on behalf and in the name of the General Partner to carry out any and all of the purposes of the General Partner and to perform all acts and enter into and perform all contracts and other undertakings that it may deem necessary or advisable or incidental thereto. The board of directors of the Ultimate General Partner consists of four directors, two of which are appointed by Chance Bright and two of which are appointed by CCAH. Resolutions shall be passed by simple majority votes. Through the board representation, the Company can exert influence and exercise joint control over the Ultimate General Partner, the General Partner and ultimately the Fund. 3. Distribution policy At the Fund level The net proceeds received by the Fund from each investment will be apportioned among the GeneralPartner and those limited partners who participated in such investment based on their respective capital contributions to such investment, and distributed as follows: (a) The portion of net proceeds so apportioned to the General Partner will be distributed to the General Partner. (b) The portion of net proceeds so apportioned to each limited partner will be distributed as follows: (i) First, to such limited partner until it receives distributions equal to all capital contributions made by it to fund such investment, any previously disposed investments and its share of investment expenses, management fees and partnership expenses allocated to those investments. — 15 — LETTER FROM THE BOARD (ii) Second, to such limited partners until it receives distributions equal to a preferred return of 8% per annum, compounded annually, on the amounts referred to in sub-paragraph (i) above. (iii) Third, 100% to the General Partner until it receives distributions equal to 20% of the sum of: (A) the distributions made to such limited partner pursuant to sub-paragraph (ii) above; and (B) the distributions made to the General Partner pursuant to this sub-paragraph (iii). (iv) Thereafter, (A) 80% of any net proceeds remaining will be distributed to such limited partner; and (B) 20% of any net proceeds remaining will be distributed to the General Partner. The amount so distributed to the General Partner under (iii) and (iv) above is referred to as its carried interest. The net proceeds for distributions for each investment (or a portion thereof) are determined by calculating the excess of: (i) the sum of (x) all cash received by the Fund (other than contributions) in connection with such investment (or a portion and (y) the fair value of such investment (or a portion thereof) that of marketable securities that the General Partner determines (in discretion) to distribute to the partners, over capital thereof) consists its sole (ii) the Fund’s cash expenses paid or then due and payable and a reasonable reserve (as determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion) for accrued or anticipated expenses and contingent liabilities of the Fund. Distribution of proceeds must be made within 90 days following the receipt of the amount determined to be distributed, if any (as calculated above) for each investment. Limited partners of the Fund shall be obligated to return amounts distributed to them to fund partnership expenses, including indemnification obligations, provided that such obligations shall terminate on the third anniversary of the date of such distribution and will not exceed 20% of such limited partner’s capital commitment. At the General Partner level Carried interest distributions received by the General Partner from the Fund pursuant to the terms of the Fund LPA shall be distributed to the limited partners of the General Partner in proportion to their respective capital commitment to the General Partner. — 16 — LETTER FROM THE BOARD 4. Transfer of limited partnership interest At the Fund level A limited partner of the Fund may not sell, assign or otherwise transfer any interest in the Fund without the prior written consent of the General Partner, which consent may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion. At the General Partner level A limited partner of the General Partner may not sell, assign or otherwise transfer any interest in the General Partner without the prior written consent of the Ultimate General Partner, which consent may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion. 5. Financial information of the Fund Set out below is the financial information of the Fund extracted from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Fund and its subsidiaries for the financial years ended 31 December 2013 and 31 December 2012, which have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards: For the year ended 31 December 2013 USD Loss from operation Net profit/loss before taxation and extraordinary items Net profit/loss after taxation and extraordinary items 50,017 2012 USD 509,062 (7,660,841) 45,983,854 (7,702,268) 46,034,602 As at 31 December 2013 USD Total assets Total liabilities 386,216 (346,092) Net assets 40,124 For the year ended 31 December 2012, the Fund recorded a net profit of approximately USD46 million, due to the sale of a number of property units from its then only invested property project in the PRC. For the year ended 31 December 2013, the Fund recorded a net loss of approximately USD7.7 million, which was mainly attributed to the withholding tax incurred by the realisation of such investment in early 2013. — 17 — LETTER FROM THE BOARD V. FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE CAPITAL COMMITMENT ON THE GROUP As the Company holds 50% of the issued share capital of the JV Entities (being the Ultimate General Partner and the Management Company), none of the Fund, the General Partner and the JV Entities are subsidiaries of the Company, and the financial results of the Fund are not consolidated to the Group. After drawdown of Capital Commitment by the Fund, the profit or loss of the Fund is equity accounted-for by the Group as interests in joint ventures and share of result of joint ventures disclosed in the consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated income statement of the Group respectively. The net asset value of the Group is expected to remain unchanged as the increase in interests in joint ventures is expected to be offset by the decrease in cash balances by, utilising, possibly, the proceeds to be raised from the issue of 1.3 billion convertible preference shares in the capital of the Company to fund the Capital Commitment. VI. INVESTMENT BY THE FUND Since the Fund fully realised its then only invested property project in early 2013, the Fund was dormant and did not make any investment until the entering into the Acquisition Agreement by the Fund SPV on 5 November 2014. As such, the Fund is essentially a new fund after the recent restructuring as set out in Section II above. On 5 November 2014, the Fund SPV (as purchaser) entered into the Acquisition Agreement with SOL HK (as seller) pursuant to which the Fund SPV has conditionally agreed to purchase, and SOL HK has conditionally agreed to sell, the entire equity interest of the Target, and SOL HK shall assign and procure Fame Gain to assign the Shareholder’s Loan of Target Group to the Fund SPV at Acquisition Completion. The Directors understood that the Fund has been in discussions with various parties and is currently considering different investment opportunities of property projects that are in the development stage or distressed and in special situations in the PRC.

The Target Group intends to fund the development of Properties from its pre-sale proceeds and from the sale proceeds of the developed property units. After taking into account the internal resources available to the Fund and the capital commitment which can be drawn down by the Fund (after the Independent Shareholders’ approval on the Capital Commitment has been obtained), and in the absence of unforeseeable circumstances, the Directors believe that the Fund will have sufficient working capital and no further capital commitment shall be required for at least the next 12 months following the date of this circular for the property development of the Target Group. In case further working capital is required after the 12-month-period following the date of the completion, the Directors understand from the Fund that the Fund will raise more capital as required, including but not limited to by (i) introducing more investors as limited partners of the Fund and (ii) disposal of any properties of the Target Group to realise cash, to ensure sufficient working capital. VII. INFORMATION ON THE GROUP, THE COUNTERPARTIES AND THE FUND The Company is a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong with limited liability, the shares of which are listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange. The principal business of the Company is investment holding. The Group has been principally engaged in properties and securities investment, fund investment and management. SOL HK is a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sino-Ocean Land whose shares are listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange. SOL HK is a substantial shareholder of the Company. Sino-Ocean Land Group is one of the leading property developers with developments in key economic regions in the PRC and actively accomplishing the Sino-Ocean Land Group’s national strategic plan with a coastal and riparian focus. The Sino-Ocean Land Group focuses on developing mid-to-high end residential properties, high-end office premises and retail properties. CCAH is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and co-owned by a number of investors in the PRC. The senior management of CCAH has years of experience in economic research, corporate finance and asset management in the PRC. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief and having made all reasonable enquiries, each of CCAH and its beneficial owners is an Independent Third Party. — 30 — LETTER FROM THE BOARD VIII. REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE CAPITAL COMMITMENT The Fund was established to invest in property projects in the PRC in 2011. After realignment of senior management resources in 2013 (details of which can be found in the announcement of the Company dated 9 August 2013) and introducing CCAH as a new partner into the Fund in 2014, the Group intends to provide more resources, through investing into the Fund, in upgrading and enhancing quality to property projects that are in development stage or distressed and special situation, in addition to its existing strategy of direct investment in Hong Kong and overseas property projects, as mentioned in the Company’s 2014 interim report. The Directors are of the view that the Fund will serve as a convenient platform through which the Group can tap into a larger pool of potential value-enhancing property acquisitions through its participation in the Fund, as the Fund has higher fund raising flexibility by admitting new limited partners such that the Group (indirectly through the Fund) may take advantage of timely market opportunities. The Directors consider the Acquisition to be a good starting point to implement this investment strategy which the Directors believe the long-term development potential of the property projects can be realised through proactive asset management and asset enhancement by the Fund. The Directors understood that the Fund has been in discussions with various parties and is currently considering different investment opportunities of property projects that are in the development stage or distressed and in special situations (such as properties in foreclosure or any other situations where the Company may consider suitable) in the PRC. As disclosed in page 30 of this circular, the principal business of the Group is properties and securities investment, fund investment and management. Despite the Company’s strategy to explore investment opportunities in Hong Kong and overseas property under its property investment business, the Fund’s decision to enter into the Acquisition investing in the PRC property market is in line with the Company’s fund investment and management business. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors whose views have been set out in the letter from the Independent Board Committee on pages 35 to 36 of this circular after taking into account the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser) consider that the terms of each of the Second GP Amendment Agreement and the Subscription Agreement which sets out the amount of the Capital Commitment to the General Partner and to the Fund respectively are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable. Although the Fund is not a subsidiary of the Company, the Company can still exert its influence on the Fund through its joint control as a general partner of the Fund. Therefore, the Directors consider that the Capital Commitment is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. As (i) Mr. Li Ming, a non-executive director of Company and a director of Sino-Ocean Land, and (ii) Mr. Sum Pui Ying, an executive director of the Company, are both directors of Grand Beauty Management Limited (being a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sino-Ocean Land and the subscriber of the 1.3 billion convertible preference shares), each of them was considered to have a potential material conflict of interests in the Second GP Amendment Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and the Capital Commitment and had abstained from voting at the Board meeting of the Company which approved the Second GP Amendment Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and the Capital Commitment. Save as aforesaid, none of the Directors had a material interest in the transactions in the Capital Commitment, and none of them was required to abstain from voting on the relevant Board resolution(s) to approve the Second GP Amendment Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and the Capital Commitment. — 31 — LETTER FROM THE BOARD IX. FINANCIAL ADVISER, INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE AND INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER Anglo Chinese Corporate Finance, Limited has been appointed as the financial adviser to the Company in relation to the Capital Commitment. The Independent Board Committee comprising Mr. Law Tze Lun, Mr. Lo Woon Bor, Henry and Mr. Zheng Yun, being all the independent non-executive Directors, has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders on matters in relation to the Second GP Amendment Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and the Capital Commitment. The Company has, with the approval of the Independent Board Committee, appointed Yu Ming as the independent financial adviser in accordance with the requirements under the Listing Rules to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders on matters in relation to the Second GP Amendment Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and the Capital Commitment. X. LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS As the Capital Commitment may be funded by the proceeds to be raised from the issue of 1.3 billion convertible preference shares in the capital of the Company to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sino-Ocean Land, a controlling shareholder and a connected person of the Company, the Capital Commitment is expected to constitute a deemed connected transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules. As the highest applicable percentage ratio calculated with reference to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules exceeds 100% in relation to the Capital Commitment, it constitutes a very substantial transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules. The Company is subject to the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 and 14A of the Listing Rules. Sino-Ocean Land and its associates, which directly and indirectly held 312,504,625 Shares (representing approximately 69.74% of the issued share capital of the Company) as at the Latest Practicable Date, will abstain from voting in respect of the resolution(s) approving the Second GP Amendment Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and the Capital Commitment at the EGM. However, the Fund, the General Partner and the JV Entities (being the Ultimate General Partner and the Management Company) are not subsidiaries of the Company and the Group has not consolidated the financial results of the Fund, the General Partner and the JV Entities since their establishment in 2011. The Acquisition is decided solely by the Fund, and Acquisition Completion is not subject to the funding from the Capital Commitment. Therefore, the Acquisition does not constitute a transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules, nor a connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. — 32 — LETTER FROM THE BOARD XI. THE EGM A notice convening the EGM is set out on pages EGM-1 to EGM-2 of this circular. A proxy form for use at the EGM is enclosed herewith. Whether or not you are able to attend the EGM, you are requested to complete the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the Company’s share registrar, Tricor Standard Limited, at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the EGM (or any adjournment, as the case may be). Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM (or any adjourned meeting) should you so wish. XII. VOTING AT THE EGM AND THE BOARD MEETING As (i) Mr. Li Ming, a non-executive director of Company and a director of Sino-Ocean Land, and (ii) Mr. Sum Pui Ying, an executive director of the Company, are both directors of Grand Beauty Management Limited (being a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sino-Ocean Land and the subscriber of the 1.3 billion convertible preference shares), each of them was considered to have a potential material conflict of interests in the Second GP Amendment Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and the Capital Commitment and had abstained from voting at the Board meeting of the Company which approved the Second GP Amendment Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and the Capital Commitment. Save as aforesaid, none of the Directors had a material interest in the transactions in the Capital Commitment, and none of them was required to abstain from voting on the relevant Board resolution(s) to approve the Second GP Amendment Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and the Capital Commitment. Sino-Ocean Land and its associates, which directly and indirectly held 312,504,625 Shares (representing approximately 69.74% of the issued share capital of the Company) as at the Latest Practicable Date, will abstain from voting in respect of the resolution(s) approving the Second GP Amendment Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and the Capital Commitment at the EGM.

Yours faithfully, Independent Board Committee Mr. LAW Tze Lun Mr. LO Woon Bor, Henry Independent Non-executive Directors — 36 — Mr. ZHENG Yun Letter from the Independent Financial Adviser The following is the full text of a letter of advice from Yu Ming to the Independent Board Committee in relation to the Second GP Amendment Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and the Capital Commitment, which has been prepared for the purpose of inclusion in the circular. 13 December 2014 To the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders Dear Sirs, Very Substantial and Deemed Connected Transaction in relation to Capital Commitment into an Investment Fund INTRODUCTION Reference is made to the announcement issued by the Company dated 17 November 2014 (the “Announcement”) in relation to, among others, the Second GP Amendment Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and the Capital Commitment, details of which are set out in the letter from the Board (“Letter from the Board”) contained in the circular of the Company to its shareholders dated 13 December 2014 (the “Circular”), of which this letter forms part. Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalised terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Circular. On 17 November 2014, Chance Bright (being a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) entered into the Second GP Amendment Agreement and the Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which Chance Bright agreed to increase its capital commitment to the General Partner and the Fund by USD3.95 million and USD250 million (together the “Capital Commitment”) respectively. The Fund is a jointly controlled and managed investment platform of the Group established to invest in real estate projects in the PRC. As (i) the highest applicable percentage ratio calculated with reference to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules exceeds 100%; and (ii) the Capital Commitment may be funded by the proceeds to be raised from the issue of 1.3 billion convertible preference shares in the capital of the Company (“CPS”) to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sino-Ocean Land, a controlling shareholder and a connected person of the Company, the Capital Commitment constitutes a very substantial transaction of the Company and it is expected to constitute a deemed connected transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Capital Commitment is subject to reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 and 14A of the Listing Rules. — 37 — Letter from the Independent Financial Adviser Sino-Ocean Land and its associates, which directly and indirectly held 312,504,625 Shares, representing approximately 69.74% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, will abstain from voting in respect of the resolution(s) approving the Second GP Amendment Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and the Capital Commitment at the EGM. The Independent Board Committee, comprising all independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Law Tze Lun, Mr. Lo Woon Bor, Henry, and Mr. Zheng Yun, has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether (1) each of the Second GP Amendment Agreement and the Subscription Agreement was entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, (2) the terms of the Second GP Amendment Agreement and the Subscription Agreement are fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms, and (3) the Capital Commitment is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and to make recommendations to the Independent Shareholders whether they should vote for or against the resolution(s) on the Second GP Amendment Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and the Capital Commitment. We are appointed as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in this regard. BASIS OF OUR OPINION In formulating our opinion, we have relied on the statements, information, opinions and representations contained in the Circular and the statements, information, opinions and representations provided to us by the Directors through management, officers and professional advisers of the Company (“Relevant Information”). We have assumed that all Relevant Information provided to us by the Directors for which they are solely responsible are, to the best of their knowledge, true, complete and accurate at the time they were made and continue to be so on the date of this letter. We have no reason to suspect that any Relevant Information has been withheld, nor are we aware of any fact or circumstance which would render the Relevant Information provided and presented to us untrue, inaccurate, incomplete or misleading. Having made all reasonable enquiries, the Directors have further confirmed that, to the best of their knowledge, they believe there are no other facts or representations the omission of which would make any statement in the Circular, including this letter, misleading. We have not, however, carried out any independent verification on the Relevant Information provided to us by the Directors, nor have we conducted any independent investigation into the business and affairs of the Group. Principal factors and reasons considered In arriving at our recommendation in respect of the terms of the Second GP Amendment Agreement and the Subscription Agreement and the Capital Commitment and the transactions contemplated thereunder, we have taken into consideration of the following principal factors and reasons: — 38 — Letter from the Independent Financial Adviser I. Background, reason and benefit of the Capital Commitment as proposed under the Second GP Amendment Agreement and the Subscription Agreement (a) Background , reasons and benefit of the Capital Commitment The Company is a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong with limited liability, the shares of which are listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange. The principal business of the Company is investment holding. The Group has been principally engaged in properties and securities investment, fund investment and management. SOL HK is a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong and is a whollyowned subsidiary of Sino-Ocean Land whose shares are listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange. SOL HK is a substantial shareholder of the Company. Sino-Ocean Land Group is one of the leading property developers with developments in key economic regions in the PRC and actively accomplishing the Sino-Ocean Land Group’s national strategic plan with a coastal and riparian focus. The Sino-Ocean Land Group focuses on developing mid-to-high end residential properties, high-end office premises and retail properties. CCAH is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and co-owned by a number of investors in the PRC. The senior management of CCAH has years of experience in economic research, corporate finance and asset management in the PRC. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief and having made all reasonable enquiries, each of CCAH and its beneficial owner is an Independent Third Party. As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Fund was established to invest in property projects in the PRC in 2011. After realignment of senior management resources in 2013 (details can be found in the announcement of the Company dated 9 August 2013) and introducing CCAH as a new partner into the Fund in 2014, the Group intends to provide more resources, through investing into the Fund, in upgrading and enhancing quality to property projects that are in development stage or distressed and special situation, in addition to its existing strategy of direct investment in Hong Kong and overseas property projects, as mentioned in the Company’s 2014 interim report. The Directors are of the view that the Fund will serve as a convenient platform through which the Group can tap into a larger pool of potential value-enhancing property acquisitions through its participation in the Fund, as the Fund has higher fund raising flexibility by admitting new limited partners such that the Group (indirectly through the Fund) may take advantage of timely market opportunities. The Directors consider the Acquisition to be a good starting point to implement this investment strategy which the Directors believe the long-term development potential of the property projects can be realized through proactive asset management and asset enhancement by the Fund. The Directors understood that the Fund has been conducting discussions with various parties and is currently considering different investment opportunities of property projects that are in the development stage or distressed and special situations (such as properties in foreclosure or any other situations where the Company may consider suitable) in the PRC. As disclosed in page 30 of the Circular, the principal business of the Group is properties — 39 — Letter from the Independent Financial Adviser and securities investment, fund investment and management. Despite the Company’s strategy to explore investment opportunities in Hong Kong and overseas property under its property investment business, the Fund’s decision to enter into the Acquisition investing in the PRC property market is in line with the Company’s fund investment and management business. The Directors consider that the terms of the Second GP Amendment Agreement and the Subscription Agreement which sets out the amount of the Capital Commitment to the Fund are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable. Although the Fund is not a subsidiary of the Company, the Company can still exert its influence on the Fund through its joint control as a general partner of the Fund. Therefore, the Directors consider that the Capital Commitment is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. (b) Financial information on the Group A summary of financial information of the Group is extracted from the annual report of the Company for year ended 31 December 2013 and interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2014 (“Interim Report 2014”) in Table 1 below: Table 1: Financial highlights of the Group For the year ended 31 December 2012 2013 HK$’000 HK$’000 (audited) (audited) Turnover (Loss)/Profit for the year/ period attributable to owners of the Company For the six months ended 30 June 2013 2014 HK$’000 HK$’000 (unaudited) (unaudited) 50,545 186,676 110,415 61,734 6,645 39,153 58,158 (18,027) As at 31 December As at 30 June 2012 2013 2014 HK$’000 HK$’000 HK$’000 (audited) (audited) (unaudited) Non-current assets Current assets (Current liabilities) (Non-current liabilities) (Note) Net current assets Net assets 437,926 636,690 (78,688) (503,374) 558,002 492,554 1,222,781 898,380 (576,394) (1,000,162) 321,986 544,605 1,306,185 745,176 (48,041) (1,494,972) 697,135 508,348 Note: For the year ended 31 December 2013 and the six month ended 30 June 2014, the non-current liabilities of the Group include an unsecured and subordinated shareholder’s loan of HK$1,000 million with maturity date in 2023. — 40 — Letter from the Independent Financial Adviser (i) For the year ended 31 December 2013 For the year ended 31 December 2013, the Group recorded a total revenue of approximately HK$186.7 million (2012: approximately HK$50.5 million), representing an increase of approximately 269.7%. The rise in revenue was mainly due to increase in sales of gold bullions and management fee income by approximately HK$119.6 million and HK$15.8 million respectively. The Group recorded a profit attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$39.2 million (2012: approximately HK$6.6 million). The significant increase in profit attributable to owners of the Company in 2013 was mainly as a result of (i) the gain on one-off disposal of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which owned certain units in Shui On Plaza in Shanghai, of approximately HK$45.7 million; and (ii) the share of profit of joint ventures of approximately HK$26.7 million, offset by (a) the increase in overall staff costs of approximately HK$19.6 million which mainly arose from the amortization of share options granted during the year; and (b) decrease in fair value gain from financial instruments held for trading of approximately HK$12.4 million. As at 31 December 2013, the audited net current assets and net assets of the Group amounted to approximately HK$322.0 million and approximately HK$544.6 million, respectively. (ii) For the six months ended 30 June 2014 For the six months ended 30 June 2014, the Group recorded total revenue of approximately HK$61.7 million (for the six months ended 30 June 2013: approximately HK$110.4 million), representing a decrease of approximately 44.1%. The decrease in revenue was mainly as a result of, among other things, decrease in sales of gold bullions by approximately HK$51.1 million. The Group recorded a loss attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$18.0 million (for the six months ended 30 June 2013: a profit of approximately HK$58.2 million). Such loss was mainly attributable to the absence of an one-off gain of approximately HK$45.7 million from the disposal of a subsidiary recorded for the first half of 2013, decrease in share of profit of joint ventures of approximately HK$25.3 million, and an increase in finance cost of approximately HK$9.8 million due to the interest expenses arising from the unsecured and subordinated shareholder’s loan amounted to HK$1,000 million granted by a subsidiary of Sino-Ocean Land in August 2013. As at 30 June 2014, the unaudited net current assets and net assets of the Group amounted to approximately HK$697.1 million and approximately HK$508.3 million respectively. — 41 — Letter from the Independent Financial Adviser II. Terms of the Second GP Amendment Agreement and the Subscription Agreement On 17 November 2014, the Ultimate General Partner, CCAH and Chance Bright entered into a second amendment agreement to amend the GP LPA (the “Second GP Amendment Agreement”), pursuant to which each of CCAH and Chance Bright agreed to increase their respective capital commitments to the General Partner by USD3.95 million from USD1.05 million to USD5 million, as they wish to maintain their respective capital commitments to the General Partner on an equal basis. Completion of the Second GP Amendment Agreement is conditional upon the Independent Shareholders’ approval of the Capital Commitment at the EGM. Pursuant to a subscription agreement dated 17 November 2014 entered into between the General Partner and the Fund, the General Partner agreed to make a capital commitment to the Fund of USD10 million, representing around 2% of the total capital commitment to the Fund, so that its interest is aligned with other limited partners of the Fund. Completion of such subscription agreement is also conditional upon Independent Shareholders’ approval of the Capital Agreement at the EGM. The Directors are of the view that this structure is in line with the market practice to align the interests of the general partner and the limited partners and therefore, benefit the Fund’s fund raising ability. On 17 November 2014, the General Partner, the Fund and Chance Bright entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which Chance Bright agreed to increase its capital commitment to the Fund by USD250 million, which is conditional upon the passing by the Independent Shareholders of the resolution(s) to approve the Subscription Agreement and the Capital Commitment at the EGM. The terms of the Second GP Amendment Agreement and the Subscription Agreement, including the amount of the Capital Commitment, are determined after arms’ length negotiation between the parties with reference to the capital requirement of the Fund and anticipated expenses of the JV Entities respectively. The Company intends to fund the Capital Commitment from the proceeds to be raised from the issue of 1.3 billion CPS to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sino-Ocean Land, details of which were set out in the Company’s joint announcement with Sino-Ocean Land dated 26 October 2014 and the announcement and circular of the Company dated 24 November 2014 and 27 November 2014 respectively. Should such issuance of the CPS not proceeded, the Company intends to fund the Capital Commitment from its internal resources or borrowings from Sino-Ocean Land Group. If the Second GP Amendment Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and the Capital Commitment are not approved at the EGM: (a) no additional capital commitment will be made to the General Partner by either Chance Bright or CCAH such that Chance Bright and CCAH will maintain their interests (including rights and benefits) in each of the General Partner and the JV Entities (being the Ultimate General Partner and the Management Company) on an equal basis; and (b) no additional capital commitment will be made by Chance Bright to the Fund, and Chance Bright will only maintain a USD100 capital commitment to the Fund. — 42 — Letter from the Independent Financial Adviser In such event, the Board understands from CCAH that it intends to increase its capital commitment to the Fund from USD250 million to at least USD463 million to enable the Fund SPV to complete the Acquisition. As such, the economic interest of the Company in the Fund will be diluted to nearly 0% (as CCAH’s capital commitment to the Fund will amount to at least USD463 million but Chance Bright’s capital commitment to the Fund will only be at a nominal amount of USD100), but its interests (including rights and benefits) in each of the General Partner and the JV Entities will remain unchanged. Our view In respect of terms and structure of the Capital Commitment as proposed in the Second GP Amendment Agreement and the Subscription Agreement, we noted that (i) the Fund is intended to be jointly controlled by the Company and CCAH on equal basis at each level of the Fund, General Partner and the Ultimate General Partner through general partnership or limited partnership interest holding; (ii) the capital commitment of the additional USD3.95 million to be contributed by the Company through Chance Bright to the General Partner and then to the Fund is in proportion to its 50% shareholding interest in the Ultimate General Partner and 50% limited partner interest at the General Partner level; and (iii) the capital commitment of USD250 million to be contributed by the Company through Chance Bright to the Fund will enable the Company to maintain its economic interests to be the same as CCAH on an equitable basis, thus no unfair term is observed. If the Capital Commitment is not approved to be made, the economic interests of the Company at the Fund will be reduced while its interests in each of the General Partner and the JV Entities will be maintained. III. Management and policies of the Fund (a) Management of the Fund The management and operation of the Fund (being an exempted limited partnership registered under the laws of the Cayman Islands) shall be vested exclusively in the General Partner, who shall have the power on behalf and in the name of the Fund to carry out any and all of the purposes of the Fund and to perform all acts and enter into and perform all contracts and other undertakings that it may deem necessary or advisable or incidental thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, among other things, the General Partner is authorised and empowered in the name of and on behalf of the Fund to make, own, manage, supervise and dispose of investments of the Fund and to execute and deliver in the Fund’s name any and all instruments necessary to effectuate such transactions. The limited partners of the Fund are passive investors in the Fund and have no right to take part in the management or control of the Fund’s business or to act for or bind the Fund. — 43 — Letter from the Independent Financial Adviser (b) Management of the General Partner The management and operation of the General Partner (being an exempted limited partnership registered under the laws of the Cayman Islands) shall be vested exclusively in the Ultimate General Partner, who shall have the power on behalf and in the name of the General Partner to carry out any and all of the purposes of the General Partner and to perform all acts and enter into and perform all contracts and other undertakings that it may deem necessary or advisable or incidental thereto. The board of directors of the Ultimate General Partner consists of four directors, two of which are appointed by Chance Bright and two of which are appointed by CCAH. Resolutions shall be passed by simple majority votes. Through the board representation, the Company can exert influence and exercise joint control over the Ultimate General Partner, the General Partner and ultimately the Fund. (c) Distribution policy At the Fund level The net proceeds received by the Fund from each investment will be apportioned among the General Partner and those limited partners who participated in such investment based on their respective capital contributions to such investment, and distributed as follows: • The portion of net proceeds so apportioned to the General Partner will be distributed to the General Partner. • The portion of net proceeds so apportioned to each limited partner will be distributed as follows: (i) First, to such limited partner until it receives distributions equal to all capital contributions made by it to fund such investment, any previously disposed investments and its share of investment expenses, management fees and partnership expenses allocated to those investments. (ii) Second, to such limited partners until it receives distributions equal to a preferred return of 8% per annum, compounded annually, on the amounts referred to in sub-paragraph (i) above. (iii) Third, 100% to the General Partner until it receives distributions equal to 20% of the sum of: (A) the distributions made to such limited partner pursuant to sub-paragraph (ii) above; and (B) the distributions made to the General Partner pursuant to this sub-paragraph (iii). (iv) Thereafter, (A) 80% of any net proceeds remaining will be distributed to such limited partner; and (B) 20% of any net proceeds remaining will be distributed to the General Partner. — 44 — Letter from the Independent Financial Adviser The amount so distributed to the General Partner under (iii) and (iv) above is referred to as its carried interest. The net proceeds for distributions of each investment (or a portion thereof) are determined by calculating the excess of: (i) the sum of (x) all cash received by the Fund (other than contributions) in connection with such investment (or a portion and (y) the fair value of such investment (or a portion thereof) that of marketable securities that the General Partner determines (in discretion) to distribute to the partners, over capital thereof) consists its sole (ii) the Fund’s cash expenses paid or then due and payable and a reasonable reserve (as determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion) for accrued or anticipated expenses and contingent liabilities of the Fund. Distribution of proceeds must be made within 90 days following the receipt of the amount determined to be distributed, if any (as calculated above) for each investment. Limited partners of the Fund shall be obligated to return amounts distributed to them to fund partnership expenses, including indemnification obligations, provided that such obligations shall terminate on the third anniversary of the date of such distribution and will not exceed 20% of such limited partner’s capital commitment. At the General Partner level Carried interest distributions received by the General Partner from the Fund pursuant to the terms of the Fund LPA shall be distributed to the limited partners of the General Partner in proportion to their respective capital commitment to the General Partner. (d) Transfer of limited partnership interest At the Fund level A limited partner of the Fund may not sell, assign or otherwise transfer any interest in the Fund without the prior written consent of the General Partner, which consent may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion. At the General Partner level A limited partner of the General Partner may not sell, assign or otherwise transfer any interest in the General Partner without the prior written consent of the Ultimate General Partner, which consent may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion. — 45 — Letter from the Independent Financial Adviser Our view As the management and operation of the Fund shall be vested exclusively in the General Partner, the management and operation of the General Partner shall be vested exclusively in the Ultimate General Partner, and Board of the Ultimate General Partner is structured to be represented on equal basis by the Company and CCAH, we consider Chance Bright would be able to have proportionate management representation and control in line with its equity interest in the Ultimate General Partner and such management structure is fair and equitable. It is noted that the net proceeds from investments of the Fund would be firstly be distributed to the General Partner and limited partners of the Fund participated in such investment on a prorate basis with reference to their respective capital contributions, and then distributed to the General Partner and limited partners on different scales and percentage. We have reviewed distribution policy of other funds which the Company formed with other third parties and noted that while the distribution scale amongst general partners and the limited partners may be different as compared to the Fund which was a result of arm’s length negotiations between the general partners and limited partners of each fund, the distribution model of the Fund is not peculiar. In addition, each of the general partners and limited partners will receive the distributions on the same scales amongst themselves within their respective rank with reference to their capital contributions to the funds. Accordingly, we consider the distribution policy fair and reasonable. The interest transfer policy set out above reflects common terms of funds of this type which enhances the management control of the General Partner and the Ultimate General Partner. Based on the management and policies of the Fund discussed above, and the fact that the Capital Commitment, if made to the Fund, economic benefits/return of the Company would be levelled up to be the same as CCAH and well protected through the management and distribution mechanism of the Fund, we are of the view that relevant terms of the Fund are normal commercial terms and fair and reasonable. IV. The Fund and its proposed investment (a) Information on the Fund Since the Fund fully realised its only invested property project in early 2013, the Fund was dormant and did not make any investment until the entering into the Acquisition Agreement by the Fund SPV on 5 November 2014. As such, the Fund is essentially a new fund after the recent restructuring as set out in Section II in the “Letter from the Board”. The Directors understood that the Fund has been in discussions with various parties and is currently considering different investment opportunities of property projects that are in the development stage or distressed and in special situations in the PRC. Save for the Acquisition mentioned above, the Fund has not identified any suitable investment opportunities so far. — 46 — Letter from the Independent Financial Adviser Following paragraph sets out historical financial information of the Fund extracted from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Fund and its subsidiaries for the financial years ended 31 December 2013, 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2011 and for the eight months ended 31 August 2014 and 31 August 2013 for reference: Table-2 Period from 20 July 2011 (date of establishment) For the year ended to 31 December 31 December 2013 2012 2011 USD USD USD Loss from operation For the eight months ended 31 August 2014 2013 USD USD (50,017) (509,062) (1,507,604) (40,124) (8,250) Net profit/(loss) before taxation and extraordinary items (7,660,841) 45,983,854 (1,371,895) (40,124) (7,619,074) Net profit/loss after taxation and extraordinary items (7,702,268) 46,034,602 (1,381,216) (40,124) (7,660,501) As at 31 December 2013 USD As at 31 August 2014 USD 386,216 (346,092) 362,000 (362,000) 40,124 — Total assets Total liabilities Net assets For the year ended 31 December 2012, the Fund recorded net profit of approximately USD46 million, due to the sale of a number of property units from its then only invested property project in the PRC. For the year ended 31 December 2013, the Fund recorded net loss of approximately USD7.7 million, which was mainly attributed to the withholding tax incurred by the realisation of such investment in early 2013. The Fund distributed a dividend of approximately HK$30.3 million to the Group, which represented a returned share capital of HK$2.7 million and a distribution of HK$27.6 million. (b) Proposed investment by the Fund On 5 November 2014, the Fund SPV (as purchaser) entered into the Acquisition Agreement with SOL HK (as seller) pursuant to which the Fund SPV has conditionally agreed to purchase, and SOL HK has conditionally agreed to sell, the entire equity interest of Target, and SOL HK shall assign and procure Fame Gain to assign the Shareholder’s Loan of Target Group to the Fund SPV at Acquisition Completion. — 47 — Letter from the Independent Financial Adviser Subject to adjustment, the total consideration payable by the Fund SP to SOL HK for the Acquisition is USD463 million (equivalent to approximately RMB2,824.0 million), which was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the parties to the Acquisition Agreement with reference to, among others, the valuation of projects held by Target Group, unaudited financial statements of Target Group as well as the principal amount of the Shareholder’s Loan of Target Group of RMB2,603.3 million as at 30 September 2014. Under the Acquisition Agreement, SOL HK has agreed to a comprehensive set of warranties, including but not limited to those in respect the unaudited financial statements of the Target Group as at 30 September 2014. These warranties shall be true, accurate and not misleading at the date of the Acquisition Agreement, at Acquisition Completion and at all times before Acquisition Completion. SOL HK has further agreed to indemnify the Fund SPV for any losses, expenses or claims resulting from any breach of warranties by SOL HK. In addition, the Fund SPV has been conducting its own legal and financial due diligence on the Target Group, a satisfactory result of which is one of the conditions precedent to Acquisition Completion. (c) Information on the Target and the Target Group According to the “Letter from the Board”, the Target is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on 28 August 2009 and is wholly owned by SOL HK. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Target Group held nine property projects located across seven cities in the PRC, which are principally engaged in real estate development and property development investment in the PRC. The Target also holds a business operation engaged in the provision of upfitting and decoration services to the property projects. (d) Financial information of the Target Group Brief summary on the financial information of the Target Group for the nine months ended 30 September 2013 and 2014 as extracted from the Appendix II — Financial Information of the Fund and the Target Group to the Circular is as follows (details of the financial information of the Target Group are set out in Appendix II to the Circular): Table-3 For the nine months ended 30 September 2014 2013 RMB’000 RMB’000 Revenue Gross Profit Net profit/(loss) attributable to owners of the Target — 48 — 4,466,721 2,448,827 19,923 306,057 (143,829) 73,175 Letter from the Independent Financial Adviser As at 30 September 2014 RMB’000 Total assets Total liabilities 28,141,222 27,522,131 Net assets 619,091 The Target Group recorded revenue of approximately RMB4,467 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2014 (nine months ended 30 September 2013: approximately RMB2,449 million). Increase in revenue was mainly due to the increased delivered of property units from Ocean Chanson Mansion (Shanghai) and Grand Canal Milestone (Hongzhou) and the expansion of Sino-Ocean Decor during the period. For the nine months ended 30 September 2014, the Target Group recorded gross profit of approximately RMB20 million (nine months ended 30 September 2013: approximately RMB306 million). Decrease in gross profit was mainly due to inflated construction cost and the delivery of property units from high land cost projects, including Ocean Chanson Mansion (Shanghai) and Grand Canal Milestone (Hongzhou) during the period. The Target Group recorded loss attributable to owners of Target of approximately RMB143.8 million during the nine months ended 30 September 2014 (nine months ended 30 September 2013: profit of approximately RMB73.2 million). The loss was mainly due to the decrease in gross profit of the projects as explained above.

For identification purpose only. — 51 — Letter from the Independent Financial Adviser (f) Valuation of the Properties Based on the valuation report prepared by DTZ Debenham Tie Leung Limited (the “Valuer”) on the Properties as at 30 September 2014 as set out in Appendix IV to the Circular (the “Valuation Report”), it is noted that the aggregate valuation of the Properties held by the Target Group amounts to RMB20,836.0 million, of which attributable interest to SOL HK amounts to RMB18,493.9 million. We have discussed with the Valuer on the basis, assumptions and methodology of the Valuation Report and noted that the Valuer had provided the market value of the Properties using the direct comparison approach by making reference to comparable sale evidences as available on the market. The Valuer also stated in the Valuation Report that, given the nature of the property, mostly being residential units, ancillary retail podium units and car parking spaces, sales activities are frequent and thus sales evidence are readily available, the direct comparison approach is considered appropriate and in line with market practice. (g) Consideration of the Acquisition Subject to adjustment, total consideration payable by the Fund SPV to SOL HK for the Acquisition is USD463 million (equivalent to approximately RMB2,824.3 million), which was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the parties to the Acquisition Agreement with reference to, among others, the valuation of projects held by the Target Group, unaudited financial statements of Target Group as well as the principal amount of Shareholder’s Loan of Target Group of RMB2,603.3 million as at 30 September 2014. We understand from the Directors that subject to completion of the Acquisition, the Shareholder’s Loan of Target Group will be assigned to the Fund SPV on a dollar to dollar basis. The implied consideration for the net asset value of the Target Group is approximately RMB221 million (“Implied NAV Consideration”), which is calculated by deducting the Shareholder’s Loan of Target Group of RMB2,603.3 million from the consideration of USD463 million (equivalent to approximately RMB2,824.3 million). Based on the unaudited management account of the Target Group as at 30 September 2014, the net asset value of the Target Group is RMB619.1 million (which reflected the carrying value of the Properties at RMB20,816.2 million and Shareholder’s Loan of Target Group of RMB2,603.3 million), and net asset value of the Target Group attributable to SOL HK is RMB208.0 million (“NAV Carrying Amount”). Based on the NAV Carrying Amount of RMB208 million as at 30 September 2014 and the Implied NAV Consideration of RMB221 million, the Implied NAV Consideration represents a premium of approximately 6.25% or RMB13 million over the NAV Carrying Amount as disclosed in the announcement of Sino-Ocean Land dated 5 November 2014. — 52 — Letter from the Independent Financial Adviser The net asset value of the Target Group attributable to SOL HK after adjustment of the valuation gain of the Properties attributable to SOL HK of RMB100.4 million (which represents the sum of the valuation gain or loss, where appropriate, of each of the Properties attributable to SOL HK) amounts to approximately RMB308.4 million as at 30 September 2014 (“Adjusted NAV”). Based on the Implied NAV Consideration of RMB221 million, the Implied NAV Consideration represents a discount of approximately 28.3% or RMB87.4 million to the Adjusted NAV of the Target Group attributable to SOL HK. Although the Acquisition does not constitute a transaction to the Company under the Listing Rules, considering the intended use of the Capital Commitment, if were to be made to the Fund, is for the Fund to complete the Acquisition from SOL HK of the Target, which held the Properties, we had compiled a comparable table on consideration paid by other listed issuers in property acquisitions based on a limited research we carried out on a best effort basis using the following selection criteria: (i) acquisition of PRC properties by companies listed on the Stock Exchange in the past three months from 18 August 2014 to 17 November 2014 (being the date of the Announcement) (“Research Period”); and (ii) the valuation of the subject property or the calculation of the adjusted net asset value of the target company taking into account the valuation of the subject property(ies) was demonstrated in the circular of relevant transactions. Transactions for acquiring property assets (i) which located in non-mainland PRC areas, such as Hong Kong or overseas; or (ii) which located in mainland PRC areas, but relevant circular has not set out valuation of subject property or calculation of adjusted net asset value of target companies after taking into account valuation of the subject properties, are excluded in order to make the comparable transactions more relevant and representative, and calculations more accurate. We have identified and made references to 8 comparable transactions (“Comparable Transactions”) which meet the aforesaid criteria, and consider these Comparable Transactions exhaustive and representative. We have compared the considerations paid by listed companies for these Comparable Transactions with the valuation of relevant PRC properties or net asset value (“NAV”) or adjusted NAV of target companies holding relevant PRC properties. We did not expand the Research Period to a longer course as we consider reasonable number of samples are identified and recent transactions are more relevant for consideration as they closely reflect market conditions and dynamics, including relevant administrative policies, of the PRC property sector. Brief Summary of relevant information of the Comparable Transactions are set out in Table-5 below: Table-5 Stock code Company name Date of circular Property type & location 1 1223 Symphony Holdings Limited# 25-Aug-14 Commercial property in Beijing and Shenyang 2 978 China Merchants Land Limited# 25-Aug-14 Commercial and residential property in Guangzhou, Foshan and Chongqing — 53 — Consideration (million) Discount of Adjusted consideration NAV/ to adjusted Valuation of NAV/ property* valuation of (million) property HK$482 HK$482 0.0% RMB1,213 RMB1,213 0.0% Letter from the Independent Financial Adviser Stock code Company name Date of circular Property type & location Consideration (million) Discount of Adjusted consideration NAV/ to adjusted Valuation of NAV/ property* valuation of (million) property 3 841 Asia Cassava Resources Holdings 15-Sep-14 Limited# Hotel in Shandong HK$164 HK$226 27.4% 4 607 Fullshare Holdings Limited (Formerly known as Warderly International Holdings Limited) 25-Sep-14 Land in Nanjing RMB500 RMB688 27.3% 5 980 Lianhua Supermarket Holdings Co., Ltd# 20-Oct-14 Commercial property in Zhejiang RMB898 RMB903 0.6% 6 152 Shenzhen International Holdings Limited# 22-Oct-14 Land in Shenzhen RMB3,567 RMB6,188* 42.4% 7 404 Hsin Chong Construction Group Limited# 4-Nov-14 Land in Foshan HK$7,688 HK$10,685 28.0% 8 207 COFCO Land Holdings Limited# 5-Nov-14 Six mixed-use complex property projects in Beijing, Shenyang, Shanghai, Tianjin and Yantai HK$11,464 HK$20,001 42.7% # The Acquisition 28.3% Highest Discount 42.7% Lowest Discount 0.0% Average Discount 21.1% Relevant Comparable Transactions constitute connected transactions of relevant listed issuers. Source: website of Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited A total of 8 Comparable Transactions were identified during the Research Period, and it is noted that considerations paid by relevant companies for the Comparable Transactions were either equal to or at a discount from 1% to 42.7% to the valuation or adjusted NAV of relevant PRC properties, with average discount of 21.1%. The discount of 28.3% represented by the Implied NAV Consideration to the Adjusted NAV of the Target Group attributable to SOL HK is within the range of and above the average of the discount paid by listed companies for the Comparable Transactions. Our view Having considered that: (i) the Fund is essentially a new fund after fully realised its invested property project in early 2013 and was dormant and did not make any investment until the entering into the Acquisition Agreement; (ii) the proposed investment by the Fund is to acquire the Properties held by the Target Group through the Acquisition; (iii) the — 54 — Letter from the Independent Financial Adviser Adjusted NAV of the Target Group attributable to SOL HK after taking into account of the valuation of the Properties is RMB308.4 million, (iv) the Shareholder’s Loan of Target Group will be assigned to the Fund SPV on a dollar to dollar basis; and (v) the consideration of the Acquisition represents a discount of 28.3% to the Adjusted NAV of the Target Group attributable to SOL HK after taking into account of the Shareholder’s Loan of Target Group and valuation of the Properties, which is in line with market Comparable Transactions, we consider the proposed investment by the Fund to acquire the Target Group (which in turn held the Properties) through the Acquisition at the consideration of USD463 million (equivalent to approximately RMB2,824.0 million) fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. V. Possible Financial Effects of the Second GP Amendment Agreement and the Subscription Agreement As the Company holds 50% of the issued share capital of the JV Entities (being the Ultimate General Partner and the Management Company), the Fund, the General Partner and the JV Entities are not subsidiaries of the Company, and the financial results of the Fund will not be consolidated into the Group but accounted for on equity basis. (i) Effects on net asset value and earnings According to the Interim Report 2014, the unaudited net asset value of the Group was approximately HK$508.3 million as at 30 June 2014. Assuming the Capital Commitment (as proposed under the Second GP Amendment Agreement and the Subscription Agreement) and the CPS are approved by the Shareholders, after drawdown of the Capital Commitment by the Fund, the profit or loss of the Fund is equity accounted for by the Group as interest in joint venture, and the net asset value of the Group is expected to remain unchanged as the increase in interest in joint venture of USD253.95 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1,969.97 million) is expected to be offset by the decrease in bank balances and short-term deposits to the same amount. Accordingly, the Capital Commitment will have no immediate material impact on the net asset value of the Group as well as consolidated earnings of the Group. (ii) Effects on gearing With reference to the Interim Report 2014, the interest-bearing borrowings and gearing ratio of the Group was approximately HK$1,495.0 million and approximately 0.73 times (calculated based on interest-bearing borrowings over total assets) as at 30 June 2014 respectively. If the Capital Commitment were to be funded by the proceeds from the issue of 1.3 billion CPS to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sino-Ocean Land, there will be no immediate financial effect on the gearing of the Group. — 55 — Letter from the Independent Financial Adviser RECOMMENDATION Having considered the principal factors analysed above, in particular that: (i) the Fund is intended to be jointly controlled by the Company and CCAH on equal basis at each level of the Fund, General Partner and the Ultimate General Partner through general partnership or limited partnership interest holding; (ii) the Capital Commitment, if were to be made, will be contributed by Chance Bright to the General Partner and the Fund which will enable the Company to maintain its economic interests to be levelled up to be the same as CCAH on an equitable basis and in proportion to its equity interest in the Ultimate General Partner; (iii) the management and operation of the Fund shall be vested exclusively in the General Partner, the management and operation of the General Partner shall be vested exclusively in the Ultimate General Partner, and board of the Ultimate General Partner is structured to be represented on equal basis by the Company and CCAH, which enable Chance Bright to have proportionate management representation and control in line with its equity interest in the Ultimate General Partner; (iv) proceeds from investments of the Fund would be firstly be distributed to the General Partner and limited partners of the Fund participated in such investment on a prorate basis with reference to their respective capital contributions, and then distributed to the General Partner and limited partners on different scales and percentage, and such distribution model of the Fund is not peculiar; (v) the fact that the Capital Commitment, if made to the Fund, and economic benefits/return for the Company would be levelled up to be the same as CCAH and well protected through the management and distribution mechanism of the Fund, which is fair and reasonable; (vi) the proposed investment by the Fund is to acquire the Target Group (which held the Properties) through the Acquisition, and the Implied NAV Consideration represents a discount of 28.3% to the Adjusted NAV of the Target Group after taking into account of the valuation of the Properties and assignment of the Shareholder’s Loan of Target Group, which is within the range and above the average of the discounts as presented by the Comparable Transactions; and (vii) the Capital Commitment will have no immediate material impact on the net asset value, earnings as well as gearing ratio of the Group if it were to be funded by the proceeds from the CPS, — 56 — Letter from the Independent Financial Adviser we concur with the Directors that the Capital Commitment could allow the Company to build up a portfolio of properties (developed and developing) and land reserve through the Fund to capture long-term development potential of the property market in the PRC through proactive asset management and asset enhancement by the Fund and that the terms of each of the Second GP Amendment Agreement and the Subscription Agreement and the amount of the Capital Commitment are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned, and the entering into the Second GP Amendment Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and the Capital Commitment and all transactions contemplated thereunder are in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution(s) to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Second GP Amendment Agreement, the Subscription Agreement, the Capital Commitment and all transactions contemplated thereunder.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS Following completion of the Capital Commitment, the Group continues to engage in its four existing business segments, namely property investments, securities investments, fund investments and fund management business. In respect of the property investments segment, the Group will continue to follow its stated acquisition strategy to invest in high quality income-generating properties in Hong Kong or prime cities in overseas property markets and focus on its properties investment portfolio in order to enhance a stable rental income stream and capture potential capital appreciation when investment opportunities arise. In respect of the securities investments segment, the Group will continue to follow its cautious approach of pursuing steady return as well as risk minimization, despite the high volatility of global capital market.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE GROUP Set out below is the management discussion and analysis and other pertaining information on the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2014 and each of the years ended 31 December 2013, 2012 and 2011 extracted (and modified as appropriate) from the Company’s interim report for the six months ended 30 June 2014 and annual reports for each of the three years ended 31 December 2013, 2012 and 2011. (1) For the six months ended 30 June 2014 Review of results and operation For the six months ended 30 June 2014 (the “Interim Period”), the Group recorded total revenue of approximately HK$61,734,000 (for the six months ended 30 June 2013: approximately HK$110,415,000). The decrease in revenue was mainly as a result of, among other things, decrease in sales of gold bullions by approximately HK$51,116,000. The Group recorded a loss attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$18,027,000 (for the six months ended 30 June 2013: a profit of approximately HK$58,158,000). Consequently, the Group recorded basic losses per share of approximately — I-2 — APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP 4.1 HK cents for the six months ended 30 June 2014, versus basic earnings per share of approximately 13.1 HK cents for the six months ended 30 June 2013. The decrease in basic earnings per share was mainly attributable to the absence of an one-off gain of approximately HK$45,667,000 from the disposal of a subsidiary recorded for the first half of 2013, decrease in gain from share of results of joint ventures of approximately HK$25,336,000, and an increase in finance cost of approximately HK$9,812,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2014 due to the interest expenses arising from the unsecured and subordinated shareholder’s loan amounted to HK$1,000 million (“Sino-Ocean Land Loan”) granted by a subsidiary of Sino-Ocean Land, the controlling shareholder of the Company, in August 2013. Set out below is the Group’s revenue breakdown for the six months ended 30 June 2013 and 2014: Rental revenue Dividend income Sales of gold bullions Management fee income For six months ended 30 June 2014 (unaudited) HKD’000 For six months ended 30 June 2013 (unaudited) HKD’000 5,039 108 44,514 12,073 6,719 2,783 95,630 5,283 61,734 110,415 Liquidity, financial resources and capital structure Total assets and net asset value of the Group as at 30 June 2014 were approximately HK$2,051,361,000 (31 December 2013: approximately HK$2,121,161,000) and approximately HK$508,348,000 (31 December 2013: approximately HK$544,605,000), respectively. As at 30 June 2014, the Group had total cash resources (including bank balances and cash and short-term bank deposits) of approximately HK$640,399,000 (31 December 2013: approximately HK$715,343,000) and a current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) at 15.51 times (31 December 2013: 1.56 times). Increase in current ratio was mainly due to the decrease in short-term borrowings, as the Group renewed an existing bank loan facility on 23 January 2014 of HK$500,000,000, which was originally repayable within 2014, for a further three-year term. The Group adopts a prudent funding and treasury policy with regard to its overall business operations. A bank borrowing of HK$494,833,000 (31 December 2013: HK$498,833,000 under current liabilities) was extended during the period, which is unsecured, wholly repayable in 2017 (31 December 2013: in 2014) and bearing interest at floating rate. The average interest rate for the bank borrowing as at 30 June 2014 is 2.49% (31 December 2013: 2.45%) per annum. The bank borrowing is guaranteed by Sino-Ocean Land, the ultimate holding company of the Group. — I-3 — APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP As at 31 December 2013, to an entrusted loan of HK$50,876,000 in the PRC was provided by Sino-Ocean Land Limited, a fellow subsidiary of the Group, which was unsecured and bearing interest at fixed rate. The entrusted loan has been wholly repaid in February 2014. At 31 December 2013 and 30 June 2014, the borrowing amounted to HK$1,000 million under non-current liabilities represent a loan provided by Grand Beauty Management Limited, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Sino-Ocean Land. The amount due is unsecured, wholly repayable in 2023 and interest bearing at the rate of three-month HIBOR plus 1.5% to 3.75% per annum. On 21 May 2014, a waiver was granted for loan interest payable for the period from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2014 as continued support to the Group for the implementation of its investment strategy. The total amount of interest being waived for the period ended 30 June 2014 amounted to approximately HK$9,338,000 is regarded as capital contribution to the Group and recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity. The Group’s net gearing ratio (total net debt divided by total shareholders’ equity), which was computed by dividing the total borrowings less cash resources by total shareholders’ equity, increased slightly from 1.53 times as at 31 December 2013 to 1.68 times as at 30 June 2014. Comments on segment information Property investments As at 30 June 2014, the Group’s investment properties comprised A-grade office premises in Hong Kong and residential units in New York. Total rental income for the six months ended 30 June 2014 amounted to approximately HK$5,039,000 (for the six months ended 30 June 2013: approximately HK$6,719,000). Decrease in rental income was mainly due to no rental income generated from PRC properties during the Interim Period as the Group disposed of the entire issued share capital of a wholly-owned subsidiary, which owned certain units in Shui On Plaza in Shanghai, the PRC, in the first half of 2013, though additional rental income was generated by the office premise in prime location in Hong Kong acquired in June 2013. In May 2014, our Group acquired 10 residential condominiums in the heart of Manhattan’s financial district of New York for a total cash consideration of approximately US$12,897,000. Details of such acquisition were disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 24 May 2014. In July 2014, our Group further entered into a sale and purchase agreement with an independent third party for the purchase of 1 more residential unit in the same condominium in New York as mentioned above for a total consideration of approximately US$1,145,000. The acquisition was completed in August 2014. — I-4 — APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP Securities and other investments Securities and other investment portfolio formed part of our Group’s cash management activities, and the management of our Group is pleased to maintain a scalable investment portfolio with proper diversification to avoid the fluctuation of any single market. Our Group recognised a total revenue from securities and other investments for the Interim Period of approximately HK$44,622,000 (for the six months ended 30 June 2013: approximately HK$98,413,000). Decrease in revenue was mainly due to decrease in sales of gold bullions amounting to approximately HK$51,116,000. A loss from changes in fair value of financial instruments held for trading of approximately HK$2,643,000 was recognised during the Interim Period, as a result of the volatile market condition (for the six months ended 30 June 2013: a loss of approximately HK$7,648,000). Fund investments The carrying value of our fund investment portfolio as at 30 June 2014 amounted to approximately HK$820,729,000 (31 December 2013: approximately HK$871,433,000). Fund investments will enable our Group to diversify its investment risk through efficient access to a wider variety of investment channels to which our Group may not have direct access. It is our Group’s objective to grow its investment return by adopting a proactive but prudent approach in its investments. No revenue or gain has yet been recognised from fund investments for the Interim Period. Apart from other movement, decrease in fair value of fund investments was mainly because an amount of HK$30,704,000 was charged to other comprehensive income for the Interim Period as a result of a decrease in fair value of fund investments (for the period ended 30 June 2013: Nil). Fund Management Revenue from fund management business of approximately HK$12,073,000 was recorded during the Interim Period (for the six months ended 30 June 2013: HK$5,283,000). Increase in revenue from fund management business resulted from more service fee received from our fund management business. Our Group recognised a gain of approximately HK$1,056,000 from share of results of joint ventures for the Interim Period (for the six months ended 30 June 2013: HK$26,392,000). Decrease in gain from share of results of joint ventures was mainly because our Group had recognised dividend distribution from Sino Prosperity Real Estate Fund L.P., on disposal of its interest in a property development project in Dalian, during the first half of 2013. — I-5 — APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP Employee and remuneration policy As at 30 June 2014, the total number of staff employed was 17 (31 December 2013: 16). During the Interim Period, taking into account the amortisation of share options of approximately HK$3,192,000 (for the six months ended 30 June 2013: Nil), the level of our overall staff cost was about HK$8,627,000 (for the six months ended 30 June 2013: HK$3,470,000). With a view to encouraging and rewarding contribution made by our staff, our Group has adopted a share option scheme and believes that this will be an effective tool for achieving this purpose. Our Group recruits and promotes individuals based on their performance and development potentials in the positions offered. When formulating staff salary and benefit policies, our Group gives primary consideration to their individual performance and prevailing salary levels in the market. Exchange rate exposure During the Interim Period, our Group’s assets and liabilities were mainly denominated in HKD, USD, Renminbi (“RMB”) and Australian Dollar (“AUD”). In the view of the potential RMB and AUD exchange rate fluctuations, our Group will closely monitor the foreign currency exchange risk exposure and will regularly review if any related hedging should be necessary. Pledge of assets As at 30 June 2014, our Group did not have any pledged assets. Contingent liabilities As at 30 June 2014, our Group had no significant contingent liabilities. Material acquisitions and disposals In January 2014, our Group made an investment in a direct interest in a property development project in Melbourne, Australia, for a total consideration of approximately AUD14,286,000, which gives a guaranteed pre-tax return of 8% per annum to control the risk exposure of our Group. In May 2014, our Group acquired 10 residential condominiums located in the heart of Manhattan’s financial district, New York, for an aggregate consideration of approximately US$12,897,000, which is expected to generate an annual rental yield of approximately 3.1%. — I-6 — APPENDIX I (2) FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP For the year ended 31 December 2013 Review of results and operation During 2013, our Group recorded a total revenue of approximately HK$186,676,000 (2012: approximately HK$50,545,000). The rise in revenue was mainly due to increase in sales of gold bullions and management fee income by approximately HK$119,568,000 and HK$15,790,000, respectively. The following table sets forth our Group’s revenue breakdown for 2013 and 2012: Rental revenue Dividend income Sales of gold bullions Management fee income 2013 HKD’000 2012 HKD’000 11,130 5,327 151,508 18,711 11,855 3,829 31,940 2,921 186,676 50,545 During 2013, our Group recorded a profit attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$39,153,000 (2012: approximately HK$6,645,000). Consequently, our Group recorded basic earnings per share of 8.79 HK cents in 2013 versus 1.49 HK cents in 2012. Significant increase in profit attributable to owners of the Company in 2013 was mainly as a result of the gain on disposal of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company of approximately HK$45,667,000 and the share of results of joint ventures of approximately HK$26,714,000, offset by the increase in overall staff costs, taking into account of the share-based compensation cost, of approximately HK$19,579,000 which mainly arose from the amortization of share options granted during 2013 and decrease in gain arising from changes in fair value of financial instruments held for trading of approximately HK$12,377,000. Liquidity, financial resources and capital structure Total assets and net asset value of our Group as at 31 December 2013 were approximately HK$2,121,161,000 (2012: approximately HK$1,074,616,000) and approximately HK$544,605,000 (2012: approximately HK$492,554,000), respectively.

As at 23 January 2014, an existing bank loan facility of HK$500,000,000 of our Group has been renewed prior to the date of its expiry for a further three-year term.

The average interest rate for the bank borrowing as at 31 December 2013 is 2.45% (2012: 2.26%) per annum. The bank borrowing is guaranteed by Sino-Ocean Land, the ultimate holding company of the Group. An entrusted loan of HK$50,876,000 (2012: HK$61,664,000) in the PRC provided by Sino-Ocean Land Limited, a fellow subsidiary of the Group, which is unsecured, wholly repayable within one year and bearing interest at fixed rates as at 31 December 2013. The average interest rate for the entrusted loan as at 31 December 2013 is 7.34% (2012: 7.34%) per annum. In terms of net gearing ratio, calculated as total borrowings less cash resources divided by total shareholders’ equity, our Group’s net gearing ratio increased from 0.32 times to 1.53 times as at 31 December 2013, which was attributable mainly to the utilisation of cash resources from the Sino-Ocean Land Loan. Comments on segment information Property investments Investment properties provide a steady and reliable income and cash flow for our Group in addition to the possible capital gains from appreciation in value. Total rental income for 2013 decreased slightly by 6% to approximately HK$11,130,000, while a revaluation gain on the investment properties of approximately HK$334,000 was recorded (2012: approximately HK$465,000). On 8 February 2013, the Company entered into a sale and purchase agreement with an independent third party in connection with the disposal of the entire issued share capital in a wholly-owned subsidiary of our Group, which owned certain units in Shui On Plaza in Shanghai (the “Disposal”), with a gross floor area of approximately 27,717 square feet for a total consideration of approximately RMB138,311,000 and recognised a gain of approximately HK$45,667,000.

As at 31 December 2013, all our investment properties are A-grade office premises in Hong Kong with a total gross floor area of 16,009 square feet. — I-8 — APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP Securities and other investments Security investment portfolio formed part of our Group’s cash management activities, and the management of our Group is pleased to maintain a scalable investment portfolio with proper diversification to avoid the fluctuation of any single market. Our Group recognised a total revenue for the year of approximately HK$156,835,000 (2012: approximately HK$35,769,000) from securities and other investment which comprises dividend income of approximately HK$5,327,000 (2012: approximately HK$3,829,000) and sales of gold bullions of approximately HK$151,508,000 (2012: approximately HK$31,940,000). Moreover, our Group recorded a gain from changes in fair value of financial instruments held for trading of approximately HK$8,895,000, which include a realised gain of about HK$4,544,000 (2012: about HK$7,181,000) and an unrealised gain of approximately HK$4,351,000 (2012: approximately HK$14,091,000). The carrying value of our Group’s portfolio of securities and other investments as at 31 December 2013 amounted to approximately HK$206,568,000 (2012: approximately HK$259,703,000). Decrease in the aforesaid carrying value was mainly because we realised profit in last quarter of 2013, so as to reduce our exposure on securities investment. Subsequent to the year end, on 24 January 2014, our Group entered into a conditional subscription agreement with an independent third party to invest a minority interest with a fixed pre-tax 8% return per annum in a property development project in Melbourne Australia, for an aggregate consideration of about HK$97,700,000. Fund investments The carrying value of our fund investment portfolio as at 31 December 2013 amounted to approximately HK$871,433,000 (2012: approximately HK$10,559,000). During 2013, our Group has further invested in several investment funds (the “New Investment Funds”), with aggregate carrying value amounted to about HK$856,221,000 as at 31 December 2013. Such fund investments will enable our Group to diversify its investment risk and further enhance the rate of return through efficient access to a wider variety of investment channels to which our Group may not have direct access at the material time. It is our Group’s objective to grow its investment return by adopting a proactive but prudent approach in its investments. No revenue has yet been recognised from fund investments segment during 2013. Changes in fair value of fund investments, which were recorded as available-for-sale investments, of approximately HK$9,868,000 was recognised in other comprehensive income in 2013. Fund Management Revenue from fund management business of approximately HK$18,711,000 was recorded during 2013 (2012: approximately HK$2,921,000). Increase in revenue from fund management business was due to our Group starting to receive revenue from this business segment only from last quarter of 2012. — I-9 — APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP Our Group recognised a gain of approximately HK$26,714,000 from share of result of joint ventures, which was mainly from dividend distribution from Sino Prosperity Real Estate Fund L.P., on disposal of its interest in a property development project in Dalian, at a consideration of approximately US$103,318,000 in March 2013. Employee and remuneration policy As at 31 December 2013, the total number of staff employed was 16 (2012: 24). The decrease in the headcount was due to the fact that, after the Disposal during 2013, the scope of our PRC business was further narrowed and accordingly the headcount in our PRC region was reduced. During 2013, taking into account the expense arising from the amortisation of share options, the level of our overall staff cost increased from about HK$7,838,000 to about HK$27,417,000 in 2013. With a view to encouraging and rewarding contribution made by our staff, our Group has adopted a share option scheme (the “Scheme”) and believes that this will be an effective tool. During 2013, our Group granted 35,400,000 share options under the Scheme to executive and non-executive directors and certain other employees of the Group. Our Group recruits and promotes individuals based on their performance and development potentials in the positions offered. When formulating staff salary and benefit policies, our Group gives primary consideration to their individual performance and prevailing salary levels in the market. Exchange rate exposure During 2013, our Group’s assets and liabilities were mainly denominated in HKD, USD, RMB and Japanese Yan (“JPY”). In the view of the potential RMB and JPY exchange rate fluctuations, our Group will closely monitor the foreign currency exchange risk exposure and will regularly review if any related hedging should be necessary. Pledge of assets As at 31 December 2013, our Group did not have any pledged assets. Contingent liabilities As at 31 December 2013, our Group had no significant contingent liabilities. Material acquisitions and disposals In May 2013, our Group disposed of a subsidiary which owned certain units in Shui On Plaza in Shanghai for a price of approximately RMB138,311,000. Such disposal reflected our Group’s seizing opportunities to realise its property portfolio at good market prices and provided funding for our Group towards other capital projects to capture opportunities with higher return. — I-10 — APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP Our Group has invested in several investments funds during 2013 with an aggregate carrying value of approximately HK$856,221,000 as at 31 December 2013. The investment scope of these funds mainly covers the areas of listed and unlisted securities, derivative contracts, foreign exchange and commodities, and real estates and related investments in developed countries, primarily in the United States of America, Europe and Australia. Those investments funds are well managed by investment professionals with experiences and expertise in capital market, real estate and private equity. In January 2014, our Group has invested in a minority interest in a property development project in Melbourne, Australia, for a total consideration of approximately HK$97,701,000. Such investment has a guaranteed pre-tax return of 8% per annum which enable the Group to control its investment risk exposure. (3) For the year ended 31 December 2012 Review of results and operation During 2012, our Group recorded a total revenue of approximately HK$50,545,000 (2011: approximately HK$67,363,000) and a profit attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$6,645,000 (2011: a loss of approximately HK$18,699,000). A profit recorded in our Group during the financial year ended 31 December 2012 was mainly due to the gain arising from changes in the fair value of financial instruments held for trading of approximately HK$21,272,000 and rental income on investment properties of approximately HK$11,855,000, offset by the finance costs of approximately HK$16,682,000 from our borrowings. Consequently, our Group recorded earnings per share of 1.49 HK cents in 2012 versus losses per share of 4.20 HK cents in 2011. Liquidity, financial resources and capital structure As at 31 December 2012, the cash and cash equivalents of our Group amounted to approximately HK$399,244,000 (2011: approximately HK$274,489,000). The larger amount of cash level as at the end of 2012 was due to disposal of some of our securities investment in order to crystalise our gain. The Group adopts a prudent funding and treasury policy with regard to its overall business operations. The borrowing of the Group under current liabilities represents an entrusted loan in the PRC provided by Sino-Ocean Land Limited, a fellow subsidiary of the Group, which is unsecured, wholly repayable in May 2013 and bearing interest at fixed rates. The average interest rate for the entrusted loan as at 31 December 2012 is 7.34% (2011: Nil) per annum. The borrowing of the Group and the Company under non-current liabilities represents bank borrowing, which is unsecured, wholly repayable in 2014 and bearing interest at floating rates. The average interest rate for the bank borrowing as at 31 December 2012 is 2.26% (2011: 2.69%) per annum. The bank borrowing is guaranteed by Sino-Ocean Land, the ultimate holding company of the Group. The net gearing ratio (total net debt divided by total shareholders’ equity) of our Group as at 31 December 2012 was 0.32 times (2011: 0.46 times). — I-11 — APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP Total assets and net current assets of our Group as at 31 December 2012 were approximately HK$1,074,616,000 (2011: approximately HK$1,183,908,000) and approximately HK$558,002,000 (2011: approximately HK$618,965,000) respectively. The current ratio of our Group as at 31 December 2012 was approximately 8.1 times (2011: approximately 4.2 times). The net asset value of our Group as at 31 December 2012 was approximately HK$492,554,000 (31 December 2011: approximately HK$488,124,000). With our improvement in financial strength, together with the resources on hand, our Group is ready for deploying our resources to capture opportunities in 2013. Comments on segment information Property investments Total rental income for 2012 amounted to approximately HK$11,855,000 (2011: approximately HK$12,272,000), representing a decrease of approximately HK$417,000. The decrease was attributed to our Group’s disposal of the shares of a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Klendo Limited, which held certain units in Novel Building in Shanghai in 2011, while the newly acquired investment properties were mostly completed in the second quarter 2012 and hence their actual contribution towards rental income will only be reflected in the second half of 2012. Subsequent to the year end, on 8 February 2013, the Company entered into a sale and purchase agreement with an independent third party to dispose of the entire issued share capital in a directly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Trendex Investment Limited, which held Units 1501-1512 on the 15th floor of Shui On Plaza in Shanghai, PRC as mentioned above, at an aggregate consideration of approximately RMB138,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$171,000,000) (subject to adjustments under the sale and purchase agreement). Subject to fulfillment (or, where applicable, waiver) of the conditions under the sale and purchase agreement, the disposal is expected to be completed within twelve months from the date of the sale and purchase agreement. Our Group will remain focus on this business segment and will continue to keep searching for good property investment opportunities. Securities and other investments Our Group recognised a total revenue for 2012 of about HK$35,769,000 (2011: about HK$55,091,000) from securities investment which included dividend income about HK$3,829,000 (2011: about HK$600,000) and revenue from sales of gold bullions about HK$31,940,000 (2011: about HK$54,491,000). On the other hand, gain from the trading of our financial instruments held for trading for 2012 was about HK$7,181,000 (2011: about HK$13,776,000). Our Group also recorded an unrealised holding gain of approximately HK$14,091,000 (2011: a loss of approximately HK$5,581,000) from the fair value changes of our remaining securities portfolio during 2012. — I-12 — APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP The market value of our investment portfolio as at 31 December 2012 amounted to approximately HK$270,262,000 (2011: HK$559,809,000). The decrease in our total investment portfolio was mainly because our Group reduced its exposure on the US Treasury Bill in view that the return (including the coupon) from the US Treasury Bill during 2012 was not as attractive as the case in the last quarter of 2011. The management of our Group is pleased to maintain a scalable investment portfolio with proper diversification to avoid the fluctuation of any single market. With about HK$399,244,000 in cash and bank balances as at 31 December 2012, we believe that we have the capacity to upsize our investment portfolio when market opportunity arises. Employee and remuneration policy As at 31 December 2012, the total number of staff employed was 24 (2011: 19). The increase in the total number of staff was in line with our target to make steady growth of the core business segments of our Group. Our Group recruits and promotes individuals based on their performance and development potentials in the positions offered. When formulating staff salary and benefit policies, our Group gives primary consideration to their individual performance and prevailing salary levels in the market. With a view to encouraging and rewarding contribution made by our staff, our Group has adopted a share option scheme and believes that this will be an effective tool for achieving this purpose. Exchange rate exposure During 2012, our Group’s assets and liabilities were mainly denominated in HKD, USD and RMB. As HKD is pegged with USD and our RMB exposure mainly comes from our investment properties in the PRC, while RMB remains stable against USD, the Board does not consider that our Group is exposed to any significant foreign currency exchange risk. The Board will closely monitor the foreign currency exchange risk exposure and will regularly review if any related hedging should be necessary. Pledge of assets As at 31 December 2012, our Group pledged equity securities listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and New York Stock Exchange with market value of approximately HK$65,905,000 (2011: Nil) and bank balances of approximately HK$21,210,000 (2011: Nil) to a bank to secure credit facilities granted to the Group. None of the credit facilities was utilised by the Group as at 31 December 2012. Contingent liabilities As at 31 December 2012, our Group had no significant contingent liabilities. — I-13 — APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP Material acquisitions and disposals Considering that the rental income growth of our property in the PRC has been lagging behind the market growth, and given that the commercial property market is getting better in the PRC, the Company entered into a sale and purchase agreement to dispose of its directly wholly-owned subsidiary which held our property in the PRC, Shui On Plaza, in February 2013 in order to help provide funding to our Group to support future property-related investments and to capture property investment opportunities with higher return. Fund management business began to crystalise in 2012, including the result from the Fund, through a share of result on joint venture. Revenue from fund management business increased to HK$2,921,000 (2011: Nil) and share of profit from joint venture increased to HK$2,184,000 (2011: HK$1,006,000). Our Group anticipates that fund management business will continue to grow. Moreover, our Group has a positive view on the longterm outlook for the PRC and believes that the PRC market offers ample investment opportunities. Therefore our Group will continuously endeavor to seek for other property-related investment opportunities in the PRC so as to further broaden its income base. (4) For the year ended 31 December 2011 Review of results and operation During 2011, our Group recorded a total revenue of approximately HK$12,872,000 (2010: approximately HK$18,727,000) and a loss attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$18,699,000 (2010: approximately HK$29,490,000). A loss was recorded mainly due to the one-off loss of approximately HK$27,994,000 (excluding approximately HK$12,689,000 recognised from the reclassification from translation reserve upon disposal) arising from the restructuring cost of our Group to clean up investment properties with relatively low return. In addition, our Group recorded a one-off expense for employee share option of approximately HK$5,579,000 and the relevant one-off professional fee of approximately HK$2,156,000 incurred in connection with the two aforesaid transactions in 2011. As a result, our Group recorded a loss per share of 4.20 HK cents in 2011 versus a loss per share of 5.76 HK cents in 2010. Nevertheless, excluding the above one-off items, a profit before taxation of approximately HK$6,513,000 and a profit attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$4,341,000 would be recorded in 2011 from our continuing operation. Therefore, the management remains optimistic towards our existing operation. Liquidity, financial resources and capital structure As at 31 December 2011, the cash and short term bank deposits of our Group amounted to approximately HK$274,489,000 (2010: approximately HK$128,471,000). The Group adopts a prudent funding and treasury policy with regard to its overall business operations. — I-14 — APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP Our Group obtained a 3-year HK$500,000,000 term loan facility from a commercial bank in Hong Kong in August 2011 and bearing interest at floating rates. The average interest rate for the Group and the Company as at 31st December, 2011 is 2.69% per annum. As at 31 December 2011, our Group had a total bank borrowing of HK$500,000,000.

The current ratio of our Group was approximately 4.2 times (2010: approximately 15.8 times). The net asset value of our Group as at 31 December 2011 was approximately HK$488,124,000 (2010: approximately HK$501,140,000). With all these resources on hand, our Group is ready for rapid business expansion in 2012.

During 2011, our Group disposed the shares of a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Klendo Limited, which held the Novel Building in Shanghai. After such disposal, there remains one investment property held by us in Shanghai, which constituted the sole investment property held by the Group as at 31 December 2011. During 2011, our Group recorded a revaluation gain from the Shui On Plaza of approximately HK$722,000 and such movement was recorded on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Securities and other investments Gain from the trading of our financial assets for 2011 was about HK$11,932,000 (2010: about HK$2,030,000). On the other hand, our Group recorded a loss of approximately HK$3,850,000 (2010: gain of HK$7,425,000) from the fair value changes of our securities portfolio during 2011. Therefore the securities investment segment generates a net gain of HK$8,082,000 in 2011. The market value of our investment portfolio as at 31 December 2011 amounted to approximately HK$559,809,000 (2010: HK$85,563,000). With about HK$274,489,000 in cash and bank balances as at 31 December 2011, we believe that we have the capacity to upsize our investment portfolio when market opportunity arises. Employee and remuneration policy As at 31 December 2011, the total number of staff employed by our Group was 19 (2010: 10). The increase in the total number of staff was in line with our Group’s growing business in the second half of 2011. Staff cost, including expense recorded for employee share option, of the on-going operation was approximately HK$8,348,000 for 2011 (2010: approximately HK$8,428,000), being controlled at a reasonable level. Our Group recruits and promotes individuals based on their performance and development potentials in the positions offered. When formulating staff salary and benefit policies, our Group gives primary consideration to their individual performance and prevailing salary levels in the market. With a view to encouraging and rewarding contribution made by our staff, our Group has adopted a share option scheme during 2011 and believes that this scheme will be an effective tool for achieving this purpose. Exchange rate exposure During 2011, our Group’s assets and liabilities were mainly denominated in HKD, USD and RMB. As HKD is pegged with USD and our RMB exposure mainly comes from our investment in the PRC, while RMB is appreciating against USD, the Board does not consider that our Group is exposed to any significant foreign currency exchange risk. The Board will closely monitor the foreign currency exchange risk exposure and will regularly review if any related hedging should be necessary. Pledge of assets assets. As at 31 December 2011 and 31 December 2010, our Group did not have any pledged — I-16 — APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP Contingent liabilities As at 31 December 2011, our Group had no significant contingent liabilities. Material acquisitions and disposals During 2011, the Group disposed of one of our investment properties in Shanghai, Novel Building, at a consideration of HK$137,000,000. The transaction was completed in July 2011. The disposal not only enabled the Group to restructure our property investment portfolio to clean up investment properties with low returns, but also helped recoup cash to the Group to support its future property-related investments and to capture property investment opportunities which may arise in the property market of the PRC and Hong Kong in 2012. In order to expand our foothold in the property investment sector and to capture property investment opportunities that may arise from the turbulent real estate market in the PRC, in the second half of 2011, the Group established a property investment fund, the Fund, with SOL HK and KKR SPRE, which will act as one of the vehicles for the Group to invest in certain property investment projects in the PRC and to expand the Group’s revenue source from our existing property investment segment. The Board believes that through participation in the Fund, the Group can leverage the expertise of Sino-Ocean Land in the property development sector in the PRC and the fund management experience of KKR SPRE to generate higher returns from property investment projects. The Board expects that the Fund will start to contribute profits to the Group in 2012. The Group believes that scarcity in the supply of Grade-A offices in Hong Kong will continue in 2012. Therefore, we believe that the return of the commercial property market in Hong Kong will remain healthy in the long run. As a result, the Group entered into agreements to acquire certain units with a total gross floor area of approximately 3,203 square feet in Tower Two, Lippo Centre, No. 89 Queensway, Hong Kong in November 2011, and a total gross floor area of approximately 2,930 square feet in China Merchants Tower, Shun Tak Centre, 168-200 Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong in February 2012. The Group considers that these investment properties would generate stable rental income and provide potential capital appreciation for the Group. Completion of the acquisition of these units is expected to be in the first half of 2012. — I-17 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group Words and expressions that are not expressly defined in this appendix shall bear the same meanings as that defined in this circular.

The Fund was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 20 July 2011 and registered as an exempted limited partnership. As at the date of this report, the Fund has direct and indirect interests in the entities as set out in note 1 of Section B. The entities comprising the Fund have adopted 31 December as their financial year end date. The financial statements of these entities were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The General Partner of the Fund has prepared the consolidated financial statements of the Fund for the Relevant Periods (the “Underlying Financial Statements”) in accordance with IFRSs issued by IASB. The Underlying Financial Statements for the period from 20 July 2011 (the date of establishment) to 31 December 2011, years ended 31 December 2012 and 2013 and the eight months ended 31 August 2014 were audited by us under separate terms of engagement with the Fund in accordance with International Standards on Auditing issued by International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. — II-1 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group The Financial Information has been prepared by the General Partner of the Fund for inclusion in the Circular based on the Underlying Financial Statements, with no adjustments made thereon and in accordance with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”). GENERAL PARTNER’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION The General Partner of the Fund is responsible for the preparation of the Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with IFRSs issued by the IASB and the applicable disclosure provisions of the Listing Rules, and for such internal control as the General Partner of the Fund determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ RESPONSIBILITY Our responsibility is to form an opinion on the Financial Information based on our procedures performed in accordance with Auditing Guideline “Prospectuses and the Reporting Accountant” (Statement 3.340) issued by the HKICPA. We have not audited any financial statements of the Fund or the other entities comprising the Fund in respect of any period subsequent to 31 August 2014. OPINION In our opinion, the Financial Information gives, for the purpose of this report and on the basis of preparation set out in Section B below, a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Fund as at 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013 and 31 August 2014 and the Fund’s consolidated results and cash flows for the Relevant Periods then ended. CORRESPONDING FINANCIAL INFORMATION For the purpose of this report, we have also reviewed the unaudited corresponding interim financial information of the Fund comprising the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated cash flow statement for the eight months ended 31 August 2013, together with the notes thereon (the “Corresponding Financial Information”), for which the General Partner of the Fund is responsible, in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (the “IAASB”). The General Partner of the Fund is responsible for the preparation of the Corresponding Financial Information in accordance with the same basis adopted in respect of the Financial Information. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Corresponding Financial Information based on our review. — II-2 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group A review consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the Corresponding Financial Information. Based on our review, for the purpose of this report, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Corresponding Financial Information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the same basis adopted in respect of the Financial Information.

unless otherwise indicated) 1 General information (a)Background Sino Prosperity Real Estate Fund L.P. (the “Fund”) is an exempted limited partnership established in the Cayman Islands on 20 July 2011. The Fund has its registered office in the Cayman Islands at c/o Maples Corporate Services Limited, P.O. Box 309, Ugland House, Grand Cayman, KY1-1104, Cayman Islands and its principal office at Room 3902, 39/F, Lippo Centre Tower One, 89 Queensway, Hong Kong.

(b) Proposed capital commitment to the Fund On 17 November 2014 (after trading hours), the Company announced its proposal to increase its capital commitment to the Fund and Sino Prosperity Real Estate (GP), L.P. (the “General Partner”) by USD250 million and USD3.95 million, pursuant to the Subscription Agreement and the Second GP Amendment Agreement respectively entered into by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The capital commitment may be funded by the proceeds to be raised from the issue of 1.3 billion convertible preference shares in the capital of the Company to Grand Beauty Management Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sino-Ocean Land Holdings Limited, a controlling shareholder and a connected person of the Company. — II-10 — APPENDIX II 2 FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group Significant accounting policies (a) Statement of compliance The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), which collective term includes International Accounting Standards (“IASs”) and related interpretation issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Further details of the significant accounting policies adopted are set out in Section B. The IASB has issued a number of new IFRSs and amendments to IFRSs. For the purpose of preparing this Financial Information, the Fund has adopted all applicable new IFRSs and amendments to IFRSs to the Relevant Periods, except for any new standards or interpretations that are not yet effective for the Relevant Periods. The revised and new accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective for the accounting periods for the Relevant Periods are set out in note 17. The Financial Information also complied with the applicable disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, which for the Relevant Periods continue to be those of the predecessor Companies Ordinance (Cap. 32) in accordance with transitional and saving arrangements for Part 9 of the new Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622), “Accounts and Audit”, which are set out in sections 76 to 87 of Schedule 11 to that Ordinance. The Financial Information also complied with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Listing Rules. The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the Financial Information. The Corresponding Financial Information for the eight months ended 31 August 2013 has been prepared in accordance with the same basis and accounting policies adopted in respect of the Financial Information. (b) Basis of preparation and presentation The Financial Information comprises the Fund and its subsidiaries and has been prepared on a consolidated basis. Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised profit or loss arising from intragroup transactions, are eliminated in preparing the Financial Information of the Fund. Unrealised losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. There were no transactions between the Fund and the Company during the Relevant Periods. (c) Basis of measurement The Financial Information is presented in United States Dollars, rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise indicated. The measurement basis used in the preparation of the Financial Information is the historical cost basis. — II-11 — APPENDIX II (d) FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group Use of estimates and judgements The preparation of Financial Information in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Judgements made by management in the application of IFRSs that have significant effect on the Financial Information and major sources of estimation uncertainty are discussed in note 16. (e) Subsidiaries and non-controlling interests Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Fund. The Fund controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. When assessing whether the Fund has power, only substantive rights (held by the Fund and other parties) are considered. An investment in a subsidiary is consolidated into the Financial Information from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Intra-group balances, transactions and cash flows and any unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full in preparing the Financial Information. Unrealised losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. Non-controlling interests represent the equity in a subsidiary not attributable directly or indirectly to the Fund, and in respect of which the Fund has not agreed any additional terms with the holders of those interests which would result in the Fund as a whole having a contractual obligation in respect of those interests that meets the definition of a financial liability. For each business combination, the Fund can elect to measure any non-controlling interests either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net identifiable assets. Non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separately from equity attributable to the partners of the Fund. Non-controlling interests in the results of the Fund are presented on the face of the consolidated income statement and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as an allocation of the total profit or loss and total comprehensive income for the year between non-controlling interests and the partners of the Fund. Loans from holders of non-controlling interests and other contractual obligations towards these holders are presented as financial liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position in accordance with note 2(i). Changes in the Fund’s interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions, whereby adjustments are made to the amounts of controlling and non-controlling interests within consolidated equity to reflect the change in relative interests, but no adjustments are made to goodwill and no gain or loss is recognised. When the Fund loses control of a subsidiary, it is accounted for as a disposal of the entire interest in that subsidiary, with a resulting gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss. — II-12 — APPENDIX II (f) FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group Joint venture A joint venture is an arrangement whereby the Fund and other parties contractually agree to share control of the arrangement, and have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. An investment in a joint venture is accounted for in the consolidated financial statements under the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recorded at cost, adjusted for any excess of the Fund’s share of the acquisition-date fair values of the investee’s identifiable net assets over the cost of the investment (if any). Thereafter, the investment is adjusted for the post-acquisition change in the Fund’s share of the investee’s net assets and any impairment loss relating to the investment (see note 2(g)). Any acquisition-date excess over cost, the Fund’s share of the post-acquisition, posttax results of the investees and any impairment losses for the year are recognised in the consolidated income statement, whereas the Fund’s share of the post-acquisition post-tax items of the investees’ other comprehensive income is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. When the Fund’s share of losses exceeds its interest in the joint venture, the Fund’s interest is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Fund has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the investee. For these purposes, the Fund’s interest is the carrying amount of the investment under the equity method together with the Fund’s long-term interests that in substance form part of the Fund’s net investment in the joint venture. Unrealised profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Fund and its joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the Fund’s interest in the investee, except where unrealised losses provide evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred, in which case they are recognised immediately in profit or loss. If an investment in an associate becomes an investment in a joint venture or vice versa, retained interest is not remeasured. Instead, the investment continues to be accounted for under the equity method. In all other cases, when the Fund ceases to have joint control over a joint venture, it is accounted for as a disposal of the entire interest in that investee, with a resulting gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in that former investee at the date when joint control is lost is recognised at fair value and this amount is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset. (g) Impairment of assets Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to identify indications that the interest in a joint venture and interest in a subsidiary (except for those classified as held for sale) may be impaired or an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. (i) Calculation of recoverable amount The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows independently (i.e. a cash-generating unit). — II-13 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group (ii) Recognition of impairment losses An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss if the carrying amount of an asset, or the cash-generating unit to which it belongs, exceeds its recoverable amount. (iii) Reversals of impairment losses An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. A reversal of impairment loss is limited to the asset’s carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the period in which the reversals are recognised. (h)Receivables Receivables are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts, except where the receivables are interest-free loans made to related parties without any fixed repayment terms or the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, the receivables are stated at cost less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts. Impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts are recognised when there is objective evidence of impairment and are measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial asset and the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate where the effect of discounting is material. Objective evidence of impairment includes observable data that comes to the attention of the Fund about events that have an impact on the asset’s estimated future cash flows such as significant financial difficulty of the debtor. Impairment losses for trade debtors included within receivables whose recovery is considered doubtful but not remote are recorded using an allowance account. When the Fund is satisfied that recovery is remote, the amount considered irrecoverable is written off against trade debtors directly and any amounts held in the allowance account relating to that debt are reversed. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously charged to the allowance account are reversed against the allowance account. Other changes in the allowance account and subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off directly are recognised in profit or loss. (i)Payables Payables are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently stated at amortised cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost. (j) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within three months of maturity at acquisition. — II-14 — APPENDIX II (k) FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group Income tax Income tax for the period comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the relevant amounts of tax are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from deductible and taxable temporary differences respectively, being the differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets also arise from unused tax losses and unused tax credits. Apart from differences which arise on initial recognition of assets and liabilities, all deferred tax liabilities, and all deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised, are recognised. The amount of deferred tax recognised is measured based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. (l) Provisions and contingent liabilities Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the Fund has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation. Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. (m) Revenue recognition Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Provided it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Fund and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably, interest income is recognised in profit or loss as it accrues using the effective interest method. (n) Translation of foreign currencies Foreign currency transactions during the period are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the end of the reporting period. Exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. — II-15 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group The results of foreign operations are translated into United States dollars (“USD”) at the exchange rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Statement of financial position items are translated at the closing foreign exchange rates at the end of the reporting period. The resulting exchange difference are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated separately in equity in the exchange reserve. On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences relating to that foreign operation is reclassified from equity to profit or loss when the profit or loss on disposal is recognised. (o) Borrowing costs Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. The capitalisation of borrowing costs as part of the cost of a qualifying asset commences when expenditure for the asset is being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended or ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are interrupted or complete. (p) Related parties (a) (b) A person, or a close member of that person’s family, is related to the Fund if that person: (i) has control or joint control over the Fund; (ii) has significant influence over the Fund; or (iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the Fund or the Fund’s parent. An entity is related to the Fund if any of the following conditions applies: (i) The entity and the Fund are members of the same group (which means that each parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others). (ii) One entity is an associate or a joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or a joint venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member). (iii) Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party. (iv) One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity. (v) The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the Fund or an entity related to the Fund.

Close family members of a person are those family members who may be expected to influence, or be influenced by, that person in their dealings with the entity. (q) Segment reporting Operating segments, and the amounts of each segment item reported in the Financial Information, are identified from the financial information provided regularly to the Fund’s General Partner for the purposes of allocating resources to, and assessing the performance of, the Fund’ business and geographical locations.

Operating segments which are not individually material may be aggregated if they share a majority of these criteria. No analysis of the Fund’s turnover, other income and contribution to operating profit for the Relevant Periods set out by operating segment is provided as the Fund has only one single operating segment, and all of the revenue and other income, results and assets of the Fund are attributable to its project investment in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). 3 (Loss)/profit for the period/year (Loss)/profit for the period/year is arrived at after charging/(crediting): Eight months ended 31 August Year ended 31 December Auditors’ remuneration Legal and professional fees Management fee expenses Bank interest income 2011 2012 2013 2013 (Unaudited) 2014 35,989 1,458,718 — (68) 47,637 451,898 — (345) 47,218 119,783 130,939 (251) 23,748 7,126 — (240) — 40,012 — (25) — II-17 — APPENDIX II 4 FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group Interests in a joint venture At 31 December Investment at cost Share of post acquisition reserves Share of exchange reserve Loan to a joint venture At 31 August 2011 2012 2013 2014 4,653,045 135,709 (9,321) 4,653,045 46,628,625 41,427 — — — — — — 4,779,433 59,646,955 51,323,097 59,646,955 — — — — 64,426,388 110,970,052 — — On 5 September 2011, the Fund entered into an agreement with Sino-Ocean Land (Hong Kong) Limited in relation to the acquisition of 49% equity interests in Great Wise Investment Ltd.

The Fund’s exposure to these risks and the financial risk management policies and practices used by the Fund to manage these risks are described below. (a) Credit risk The Fund did not hold any assets which are exposed to significant credit risk. (b) Liquidity risk The Fund’s policy is to regularly monitor its liquidity requirements to ensure that it maintains adequate funding from its group companies to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer terms. (c) Interest rate risk At the end of each reporting period, the Fund did not have any assets and/or liabilities which would expose the Fund to significant interest rate risk. (d) Foreign currency risk The Fund has no significant exposure to foreign currency risk as substantially all of the Fund’s transactions are denominated in United States dollars. — II-22 — APPENDIX II (e) FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group Fair value measurement All financial instruments are carried at amounts not materially different from their fair values as at 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013 and 31 August 2014. 14 Material related party transactions In addition to the transactions and balances disclosed elsewhere in this Financial Information, the Fund entered into the following material related party transactions during the Relevant Periods: Year ended 31 December Management fee expenses recharged by a related company Eight months ended 31 August 2011 2012 2013 2013 (Unaudited) 2014 — — 130,939 — — Note: In the opinion of the Fund, this transaction was carried out on normal commercial terms and in the ordinary course of business. 15 Immediate controlling party At the end of each reporting period, the immediate controlling party, which is also the General Partner, of the Fund is Sino Prosperity Real Estate (GP), L.P., which is established in the Cayman Islands. 16 Accounting judgement and estimates Key sources of estimation uncertainty Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The selection of critical accounting policies, the judgements and other uncertainties affecting application of those policies and the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions are factors to be considered when reviewing the Financial Information. The principal accounting policies are set forth in note 2. The Fund believes the following critical accounting policies involve the significant judgements and estimates used in the preparation of the Financial Information. (a) Impairment losses on interest in a joint venture Interest in a joint venture is reviewed periodically to assess whether impairment losses exist. The Fund makes judgements as to whether there is any objective evidence that the interest in a joint venture is impaired. If the Fund as determined, based on their judgement, that objective evidence of impairment exists, expected future cash flows are estimated based on historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to those of the Fund. Historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of the current observable data. Management reviews the methodology and assumptions used in estimating future cash flows regularly to reduce any difference between loss estimates and actual loss experience. — II-23 — APPENDIX II 17 FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group Possible impact of amendments, new standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective for the Relevant Periods Up to the date of issue of these financial statements, the IASB has issued a number of amendments and new standards which are not yet effective for the Relevant Periods and which have not been adopted in these financial statements. These include the following which may be relevant to the Fund.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION 1. Group structure, reorganization and principal activities (a) General information Metro Splendid Limited (the “Target”) was incorporated with limited liability in the British Virgin Islands on 28 August 2009. The address of its registered office is P.O. Box 957, Offshore Incorporations Centre, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands. The Target, being an investment holding company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Target Group”) are principally engaged in property development and upfitting services in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). At the date of this report and during the Relevant Periods, the ultimate holding company of the Target Group is Sino-Ocean Land Holding Limited (the “SOLH”), a company incorporated in Hong Kong with its shares listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. The combined financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), unless otherwise stated. (b)Reorganization Prior to the Reorganization and during the Relevant Periods, the property development and the upfitting services of the Target Group were conducted through nine real estate project companies and one decoration company, respectively, all of which were incorporated in the PRC. At the date of this report, the Target indirectly holds these ten companies through three investment holding companies. The Target Group was ultimately controlled by the SOLH during the Relevant Periods. Moral (HK) Investment Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Target, is the holding company of Dalian Hongze Property Development Company Limited (“Dalian Hongze”) and Dalian Xinrong Property Development Company Limited. Blue Team Trading Limited (“Blue Team”), another wholly-owned subsidiary of the Target, has indirectly held the entire equity interest of Dalian Yuanjia Industrial Park Development Company Limited (“Dalian Yuanjia”) during the Relevant Periods through Dynamic Linkage Limited, a holding company (collectively referred to as the “Blue Team Group”). Pursuant to the Reorganization in preparation for the proposed acquisition, the Target acquired all other companies now comprising the Target Group from the SOLH’s subsidiaries and disposed of the Blue Team Group to a subsidiary of the SOLH. The major steps undertaken to effect the Reorganization were as follows: (i) On 20 October 2014, Dalian Hongze set up a wholly-owned subsidiary, Beijing Shengjia Hongze Investment Management Company Limited (“Beijing Hongze”). (ii) On 27 October 2014, Beijing Hongze acquired the entire equity interest in Beijing Yuanhui Property Development Company Limited (“Beijing Yuanhui”) from Beijing Yuankun Real Estate Development Company Limited (“Beijing Yuankun”), which was indirectly controlled by the SOLH. Beijing Yuanhui held a 55% equity interest in Sino-Ocean Land (Zhenjiang) Company Limited during the Relevant Periods. Prior to and shortly after this acquisition, Beijing Yuanhui completed a series of transactions and became the holding company of seven subsidiaries of the Target Group, details of which are set out in (iii) to (vi) below. (iii) On 23 October 2014, Beijing Yuanhui acquired the entire equity interest of Qinhuangdao Ocean Land Development Company Limited (“Qinhuangdao Ocean Land”) from Beijing Yuankun. Qinhuangdao Ocean Land held the entire equity interest in Qinhuangdao Yuanlian Property Development Company Limited and Qinhuangdao Yuanhao Property Development Company Limited. — II-36 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group (iv) On 29 October 2014, Beijing Yuanhui acquired the entire equity interest of Shanghai Yuanzheng Property Development Company Limited from Sino-Ocean Land (Shanghai) Company Limited, which was indirectly controlled by the SOLH. (v) On 29 October 2014 and 31 October 2014, Beijing Yuanhui acquired the entire equity interest of Shanghai Yuanxin Property Development Company Limited and Sino-Ocean Decoration Engineering Company Limited, respectively, from Beijing Yuanqian Property Development Company Limited, which was indirectly controlled by the SOLH. (vi) On 31 October 2014, Beijing Yuanhui acquired a 70% equity interest of Hangzhou Yuan Yang Lai Fu Real Estate Development Company Limited from Sino-Ocean Land Limited, a whollyowned subsidiary of the SOLH. (vii) On 21 October 2014, the Target disposed of the entire equity interest of the Blue Team Group to Sino-Ocean Land (Hong Kong) Limited, an immediate shareholder of the Target and a whollyowned subsidiary of the SOLH. As at the date of this report, the Target has direct and indirect interests in the subsidiaries, which are set out in Note 8 below. 2. Basis of presentation Prior to and following the Reorganization, all the businesses carried out by the companies comprising the Target Group are ultimately controlled by the SOLH. Accordingly, the Reorganization has been accounted for as business combinations under common control using merger accounting. For the purpose of this report, the combined Financial Information of the Target Group has been prepared using the principles of merger accounting, as prescribed in Hong Kong Accounting Guidance 5 “Merger Accounting for Common Control Combinations” issue by the HKICPA. Accordingly, the Target Group’s combined balance sheets as at 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013, and its combined income statements, combined statements of comprehensive income, combined statements of changes in equity and combined cash flow statements for the Relevant Periods have been prepared using the financial information of the companies now comprising the Target Group as if the current group structure had been in existence since 1 January 2011, or since their respective dates of incorporation/establishment. The financial information of the Blue Team Group has been included in the combined Financial Information of the Target Group as they are being disposed of subsequent to 31 December 2013. 3. Summary of significant accounting policies The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Financial Information are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the relevant years presented, unless otherwise stated. 3.1 Basis of preparation The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS”). They have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The preparation of the Financial Information in conformity with HKFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the combined financial statements, are disclosed in Note 5. — II-37 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group As at 31 December 2013, the Target Group’s total liabilities exceeded total equity exclusive of non-controlling interest by 23 times and the Target Group’s gearing ratio was 87%, which created doubt about the Target Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The directors of the Target have prepared cash flow projections by taking into account the financial resources available to the Target Group, mainly including cash generated from operating activities. Moreover, other borrowings from a fellow subsidiary amounting to RMB6,752,013,000 (see Note 19(b)) were replaced by long term entrusted loans as a result of an agreement reached between the Target Group and a subsidiary of SOLH after 31 December 2013 (see Note 33). Taking these into account, the directors of the Company believe that the Target Group will have sufficient financial resources for its operations in the next twelve months from 31 December 2013. Consequently the directors of the Company have prepared the Financial Information on a going concern basis. 3.2 New and amended standards and interpretations not yet adopted The following new standard has been issued but is not effective for the financial year beginning 1 January 2014 and has not been early adopted: HKFRS 9, “Financial instruments”, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. HKFRS 9 was issued in November 2009 and October 2010 and amended in July 2014. It replaces the whole of HKAS 39. HKFRS 9 has three financial asset classification categories for investments in debt instruments: amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and fair value through profit or loss. Classification is driven by the entity’s business model for managing the debt instruments and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Investments in equity instruments are always measured at fair value. However, management can make an irrevocable election to present changes in fair value in OCI, provided the instrument is not held for trading. If the equity instrument is held for trading, changes in fair value are presented in profit or loss. For financial liabilities there are two classification categories: amortized cost and fair value through profit or loss. Where non-derivative financial liabilities are designated at fair value through profit or loss, the changes in the fair value due to changes in the liability’s own credit risk are recognized in OCI, unless such changes in fair value would create an accounting mismatch in profit or loss, in which case, all fair value movements are recognized in profit or loss. There is no subsequent recycling of the amounts in OCI to profit or loss. For financial liabilities held for trading (including derivative financial liabilities), all changes in fair value are presented in profit or loss. HKFRS 9 introduces a new model for the recognition of impairment losses – the expected credit losses (ECL) model, which constitutes a change from the incurred loss model in HKAS 39. HKFRS 9 contains a “three stage” approach, which is based on the change in credit quality of financial assets since initial recognition. Assets move through the three stages as credit quality changes and the stages dictate how an entity measures impairment losses and applies the effective interest rate method. The new rules mean that on initial recognition of a non-credit impaired financial asset carried at amortised cost a day1 loss equal to the 12-month ECL is recognised in profit or loss. In the case of accounts receivables this day-1 loss will be equal to their lifetime ECL. Where there is a significant increase in credit risk, impairment is measured using lifetime ECL rather than 12-month ECL. HKFRS 9 applies to all hedging relationships, with the exception of portfolio fair value hedges of interest rate risk. The new guidance better aligns hedge accounting with the risk management activities of an entity and provides relief from the more “rule-based” approach of HKAS39. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Earlier application is permitted. Entities applying the standard before 1 February 2015 continue to have the option to apply the standard in phases. Therefore the Target Group is yet to assess HKFRS 9’s full impact. — II-38 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group HKFRS 15, “Revenue from contracts with customers”, is based on the principle that revenue is recognized when control of a good or service transfers to the customer. HKFRS 15 was issued in July 2014. It replaces the separate models for goods, services and construction contracts under current HKFRS. HKFRS 15 is a single model that distinguishes between performance obligations satisfied at a point in time and those are satisfied over time. The criteria are provided to determine when a good or service transfers over time. But not all the criteria are intuitive and might change practice in some industries such as real estate and construction. If the criteria are not met, indicators of control are used to determine when revenue is recognized. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017. Earlier application is permitted. The Target Group is yet to assess HKFRS 15’s full impact. 3.3Subsidiaries 3.3.1Consolidation A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity) over which the Target Group has control. The Target Group controls an entity when the Target Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Target Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. (a) Business combinations under common control The combined financial information incorporate the financial statements of the combining entities or businesses in which the common control combination occurs as if they had been combined from the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the control of the controlling party. The net assets of the combining entities or businesses are combined using the existing book values from the controlling parties’ perspective. No amount is recognized in combination for goodwill or excess of acquirers’ interest in the net fair value of acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of common control combination, to the extent of the continuation of the controlling party’s interest. The combined income statement includes the results of each of the combining entities or businesses from the earliest date presented or since the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the common control, where there is a shorter period, regardless of the date of the common control combination. The comparative amounts in the combined financial information are presented as if the entities or businesses had been combined at the previous balance sheet date or when they first came under common control, whichever is shorter. A uniform set of accounting policies is adopted by those entities. All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between combining entities or businesses are eliminated on combination. Transaction costs, including professional fees, registration fees, costs of furnishing information to shareholders, costs or losses incurred in combining operations of the previously separate businesses, etc., incurred in relation to the common control combination that is to be accounted for by using merger accounting is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. — II-39 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group (b) Business combinations not under common control The Target Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations with parties that are not under common control. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Target Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Target Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognized amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognized in profit or loss. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Target Group is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognized in accordance with HKAS 39 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognized and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement. Intra-group transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated. When necessary, amounts reported by subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform with the Target Group’s accounting policies. (c) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions – that is, as transactions with the owners of the subsidiary in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying amount of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity. — II-40 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group (d) Disposal of subsidiaries When the Target Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Target Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. 3.3.2 Separate financial statements Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment. Cost includes direct attributable costs of investment. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the company on the basis of dividend received and receivable. Impairment testing of the investments in subsidiaries is required upon receiving a dividend from these investments if the dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of the subsidiary in the period the dividend is declared or if the carrying amount of the investment in the separate financial statements exceeds the carrying amount in the combined financial information of the investee’s net assets including goodwill. 3.4 Segment reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the executive committee that makes strategic decisions. 3.5 Foreign currency translation (a) Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each of the Target Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”).The combined financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is the Company’s functional and the Target Group’s presentation currency. (b) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the combined income statement. Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the income statement within “finance income or cost”. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the income statement within “other gains/(losses) – net”. — II-41 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in foreign currency classified as available-for-sale are analyzed between translation differences resulting from changes in the amortized cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. Translation differences related to changes in amortized cost are recognized in profit or loss, and other changes in carrying amount are recognized in other comprehensive income. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities, such as equity instruments held at fair value through profit or loss, are recognized in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary items such as equities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are included in other comprehensive income. (c) Group companies The results and financial position of all the group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: 3.6 (i) assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet; (ii) income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates(unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and (iii) all resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Target Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the combined income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred. Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows: Buildings Machineries Vehicles Office equipment Electronic equipment 25-50 8 8 5 3 years years years years years The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (Note 3.7). Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amounts. These are recognized within “other gains/(losses) — net”, in the combined income statement. — II-42 — APPENDIX II 3.7 FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group Impairment of non-financial assets Assets that have an indefinite useful life or are not yet available for use are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. 3.8 Financial assets 3.8.1Classification The Target Group classifies its financial assets into financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at every reporting date. (a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are also categorized as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if expected to be settled within 12 months; otherwise, they are classified as noncurrent. (b) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, which are classified as non-current assets. The Target Group’s loans and receivables comprise “trade and other receivables”, “restricted bank deposit” and “cash and cash equivalents” in the balance sheet (Note 3.11 and 3.12). (c) Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose of it within 12 months of the end of the reporting period. 3.8.2 Recognition and measurement Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on trade-date, the date on which the Target Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially — II-43 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group recognized at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the combined income statement. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Target Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the “financial assets at fair value through profit or loss” category are presented in the income statement within “other gains/(losses) – net” in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognized in the income statement as part of other income when the Target Group’s right to receive payments is established. Changes in the fair value of monetary and non-monetary securities classified as availablefor-sale are recognized in other comprehensive income. When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognized in equity are included in the combined income statement as part of “other gains/(losses) – net”. Interest on available-for-sale securities calculated using the effective interest method are recognized in the combined income statement as part of other income. Dividends on availablefor-sale equity instruments are recognized in the combined income statement as part of other income when the Target Group’s right to receive payments is established. 3.9 Impairment of financial assets (a) Assets carried at amortized cost The Target Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a “loss event”) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization, and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. For loans and receivables category, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognized in the combined income statement. If a loan or held-to-maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Target Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price. — II-44 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognized impairment loss is recognized in the combined income statement. (b) Assets classified as available-for-sale The Target Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. For debt securities, the Target Group uses the criteria referred to (a) above. In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is also evidence that the assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-forsale financial assets, the cumulative loss — measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in profit or loss — is removed from equity and recognized in the combined income statement. Impairment losses recognized in the combined income statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the combined income statement. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available-for-sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed through the combined income statement. 3.10Inventories (a) Properties under development Properties under development are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is determined by reference to estimated sales proceeds of the properties sold in the ordinary course of business less costs to complete development and estimated selling expenses. Development costs of properties comprises land use rights, construction costs, borrowing costs and professional fees as incurred during the development period. On completion, all development costs of the properties are transferred to completed properties held for sale. (b) Completed properties held for sale Completed properties held for sale are completed properties remaining unsold at the balance sheet date and are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable values. Cost comprises development costs attributable to the unsold properties. Net realizable values is determined by reference to the sale proceeds of properties sold in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses, or by management estimates based on prevailing marketing conditions. 3.11 Trade and other receivables Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection of trade and other receivables is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets. Trade and other receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. — II-45 — APPENDIX II 3.12 FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group Cash and cash equivalents In the combined cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. 3.13 Combined capital As the financial information has been prepared on a combined basis, the combined capital in the combined financial information represents the parent’s net investment in the Target Group. 3.14 Trade payables Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. 3.15 Borrowings and Borrowing costs Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Target Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date. General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. 3.16 Current and deferred income tax The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred income tax. Tax is recognized in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. 3.16.1 Current income tax The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the country where the Target’s subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. — II-46 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group 3.16.2 Deferred income tax Deferred income tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the combined financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred income tax liabilities are provided on taxable temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, except for deferred income tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Target Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Generally the Target Group is unable to control the reversal of the temporary difference for associates. Only where there is an agreement in place that gives the Target Group the ability to control the reversal of the temporary difference not recognized. Deferred income tax assets are recognized on deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries only to the extent that it is probable the temporary difference will reverse in the future and there is sufficient taxable profit available against which the temporary difference can be utilized. 3.16.3 Offsetting Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis. 3.17 Employee benefits (a) Employee leave entitlements Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognized when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employee up to the balance sheet date. Employee entitlements to sick leave and maternity leave are not recognized until the time of leave. (b) Bonus entitlements Expected costs of bonus payments are recognized as liabilities when constructive obligations are present, as a result of services rendered by employees and reliable estimations of the obligations can be made. — II-47 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group (c) Retirement benefits In accordance with the rules and regulations in the PRC, the PRC based employees of the Target Group participate in various defined contribution retirement plans organized by the relevant municipal and provincial governments in the PRC under which the Target Group and the PRC based employees are required to make monthly contributions to these plans calculated as a percentage of the employees’ salaries. The municipal and provincial governments undertake to assume the retirement benefit obligations of all existing and future retired PRC based employees payable under the plans described above. Other than the monthly contributions, the Target Group has no further obligation for the payment of retirement and other post retirement benefits of its employees. The assets of these plans are held separately from those of the Target Group in independently administrated funds managed by the PRC government. The Target Group’s contributions to the defined contribution retirement schemes are expensed as incurred. 3.18Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Target Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense. 3.19 Financial guarantee liabilities Financial guarantee liabilities are recognized in respect of the financial guarantee provided by the Target Group to the property purchasers. Financial guarantee liabilities are recognized initially at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of the financial guarantee liabilities. After initial recognition, such contracts are measured at the higher of the present value of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation and the amount initially recognized less cumulative amortization. Financial guarantee liabilities are derecognized from the balance sheet when, and only when, the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expired. 3.20 Contract work Contract costs are recognized when incurred. When the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable by reference to the stage of completion. — II-48 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group When the outcome of a contract can be estimated reliably and it is probable that the contract will be profitable, contract revenue is recognized over the period of the contract. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected losses are recognized as expense immediately. The Target Group uses the “percentage of completion method” to determine the appropriate amount to be recognized in a given period. Depending on the nature of contracts, the stage of completion is measured by reference to (a) the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date to estimated total contract costs; (b) the amount of work certified by site engineers; or (c) completion of physical proportion of the contract work. Costs incurred in the year in connection with future activity on a contract are excluded from contract costs in determining the stage of completion. They are presented as inventories, prepayments or other assets, depending on their nature. Contract work-in-progress is valued at the cost price of the work done, plus a part of the expected profit upon completion of the project in proportion to the progress made and less progress receivables and provisions. Provisions are recognized for expected losses on contract work-in-progress, as soon as they are foreseen, and deducted from the cost price. The cost price includes direct project costs, consisting of direct payroll costs, materials, costs of subcontracted work, other direct costs, rental charges and maintenance costs for the equipment used. The progress of a project is determined on the basis mentioned in preceding paragraph. Profits are not recognized unless a reliable estimate can be made of the result on completion of the project. The balance of the value of contract work-in-progress and progress receivables is determined on a project by project basis. The Target Group presents as an asset the “amounts due from customers for contract work” for all contracts in progress for which costs incurred plus recognized profits exceed progress receivables. Progress receivables not yet paid by customers and retention are included within “trade and other receivables”. 3.21 Revenue recognition Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the Target Group’s activities. Revenue is shown, net of returns, discounts and after eliminating sales within the Target Group. The Target Group recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Target Group’s activities as described below. The Target Group bases its estimates on historical results, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement. (a) Sale of properties Revenue from sales of properties is recognized when the risks and rewards of the properties transferred to the purchaser, which is when the construction of the relevant properties have been completed and properties have been delivered to the purchaser pursuant to the sale agreements, and collectability of related receivables is reasonably assured. Deposits and instalments received on properties sold prior to the date of revenue recognition are included in current liabilities, and are separately stated in the balance sheet as advances receipts from customers. (b) Revenue from upfitting contracts Revenue from individual upfitting contract is recognized, over the period of the contracts, when the outcome of the contracts can be estimated reliably and it is probable that these contracts will be profitable. — II-49 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group When the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable. The Target Group uses the “percentage of completion method” to determine the appropriate amount to be recognized in a given period. Depending on the nature of contracts, the stage of completion is measured by reference to the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date to estimated total contract costs. (c) Interest income Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. When a loan and receivable is impaired, the Target Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. 4. Financial risk management 4.1 Financial risk factors The Target Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, cash flow interest rate risk and fair value interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Target Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Target Group’s financial performance. The board of directors reviews and approves policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarized below. (a) Market risk (i) Foreign exchange risk The operations and majority of the Target Group’s customers are located in the PRC with most of the assets/liabilities and transactions denominated and settled in RMB. As the commercial transactions settled in foreign currencies are not material, the directors of the Target are of the view that the Target Group’s exposure to foreign exchange risk would be immaterial. (ii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk As the Target Group has no significant interest-bearing assets, the Target Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. The Target Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings with prevailing market interest rates. Such risk is partly offset by cash at banks held at prevailing market interest rates. During the Relevant Periods, the Target Group’s borrowings at prevailing market interest rates were denominated in RMB. The Target Group currently does not utilize any derivative contracts to hedge its exposure to interest rate risk. However, management will consider hedging significant interest rate exposure should the need arise. The directors of the Target consider that the fluctuation in interest rate has no material impact on the Group’s post-tax profit for the Relevant Periods as most of interest expenses were capitalized. — II-50 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group (b) Credit risk Credit risk arises from restricted bank deposits, cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables. The carrying amounts of restricted bank deposits, cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, represent the Target Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to its financial assets. To manage such exposure, the Target Group has policies in place to ensure that sales are made to purchasers with appropriate financial strengths and credit history, at the same time appropriate percentages of down payments are made. Deposits are placed with banks with appropriate credit ratings. Monitoring procedures are also in place to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Target Group reviews and assesses the recoverable amount of each individual trade receivables on a regular basis to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. The Target Group has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a number of counterparties and customers. Credit risk arises from restricted bank deposits is limited, as all counterparties are banks with appropriate credit rankings. The Target Group has provided guarantees to banks in favor of certain customers to secure their repayment obligations to banks, for their purchases of property units. If a customer defaults on the payment of its mortgage during the term of the guarantee, banks holding the mortgage may demand the Target Group to repay the outstanding amount together with any accrued interest thereon. Under such circumstances, the Target Group is able to sell the property to recover any amounts paid by the Target Group to banks. The directors of the Target consider that the Group’s exposure to credit risk in this regard is minimal. (c) Liquidity risk Cash flow forecast by the Target Group and the Target Group monitors rolling forecasts of the Target Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities. Such forecast takes into consideration the Target Group’s debt financing plans, covenant compliance, compliance with internal balance sheet ratio targets. As at 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Target Group held cash and cash equivalents of RMB674,433,000, RMB1,661,309,000 and RMB1,328,957,000 (Note 17) and trade and other receivables of RMB2,944,264,000, RMB3,859,009,000 and RMB3,448,522,000 (Note 13) that are expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk. — II-51 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group The table below analyzes the Target Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. The amount disclosed in the table is the contractual undiscounted cash flows. At 31 December 2011 Borrowings Trade and other payables At 31 December 2012 Borrowings Trade and other payables At 31 December 2013 Borrowings Trade and other payables 4.2 Less than 1 year RMB’000 Between 1 and 2 years RMB’000 Between 2 and 5 years RMB’000 Total RMB’000 9,884,820 4,565,626 108,193 — 1,470,866 — 11,463,879 4,565,626 14,450,446 108,193 1,470,866 16,029,505 4,053,259 11,605,122 1,509,396 — 414,005 — 5,976,660 11,605,122 15,658,381 1,509,396 414,005 17,581,782 9,273,268 5,921,316 403,323 — 1,660,742 — 11,337,333 5,921,316 15,194,584 403,323 1,660,742 17,258,649 Capital risk management The Target Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Target Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Target Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. Consistent with others in the industry, the Target Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including current and non-current borrowings as shown in the combined balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as “equity” as shown in the combined balance sheet plus net debt. — II-52 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group The gearing ratios at 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013 were as follows. As at 31 December 2011 RMB’000 2012 RMB’000 2013 RMB’000 10,430,516 (674,433) 5,281,402 (1,661,309) 10,648,629 (1,328,957) Net debt Total equity 9,756,083 984,366 3,620,093 1,183,982 9,319,672 1,394,228 Total capital 10,740,449 4,804,075 10,713,900 Gearing ratio 91% 75% 87% Total borrowings (Note 19) Less: cash and cash equivalents (Note 17) As at respective balance sheet dates, the Target Group has gearing ratio of over 70%, which created doubt about the Target Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The directors of the Target Group have prepared cash flow projections by taking into account the financial resources available to the Target Group which mainly includes cash generated from operating activities. In addition, subsequent to 31 December 2013, borrowings from a fellow subsidiary amounting to RMB6,752,013,000 were replaced by long term entrusted loans (see Note 33). On this basis, the directors of the Company believe that the Target Group will have sufficient financial resources for its operations at least for the next twelve months from 31 December 2013. 5. Critical accounting estimates and judgements Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Target Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. (a) Income taxes and land appreciation tax (“LAT”) The Target Group is primarily subject to various PRC taxes, as it is principally engaged in property development in the PRC. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Target recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred income tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. The implementation and settlement of LAT varies among various tax jurisdictions in cities of the PRC. LAT is levied at progressive rates ranging from 30% to 60% on the appreciation of land value, being the proceeds from sales of properties less deductible expenditures including land use rights, borrowing costs, business taxes, property development and other related expenditures. These taxes are incurred upon transfer of property ownership. — II-53 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group Significant judgment is required in determining the extent of land appreciation and its related taxes. The Target Group recognized LAT based on management’s best estimates according to the understanding of the tax rules. The final tax outcome could be different from the amounts that were initially recorded, and these differences will impact the combined income statement in the periods in which such taxes are finalized with local tax authorities. (b) Deferred income tax Deferred income tax assets relating to certain temporary differences and tax losses are recognized when management considers it probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences or tax losses can be utilized. The outcome of their actual utilization may be different. (c) Estimations for total properties construction cost The Target Group estimates properties construction cost upon recognition of respective costs of sales. Such estimates are substantiated by detailed budgetary information as developed by the management, and will be assessed periodically, as the constructions progress. Should these estimates depart from their actual finalized costs, such differences would affect the accuracy of costs of sales recognized. (d) Revenue recognition The Target Group has recognized revenue from the sale of properties held for sale as disclosed in Note 3.21. The assessment of when an entity has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to buyers requires the examination of the circumstances of the transaction. In most cases, the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership coincides with the date when the equitable interest in the property vests to the buyer, upon release of the respective property to the purchaser. As disclosed in Note 30, the Target Group provided guarantees in respect of mortgage facilities granted by certain banks relating to the mortgage loans arranged for certain purchasers of the Target Group’s properties. These guarantees will expire when relevant property ownership certificates are lodged with the banks by the purchasers. In order to obtain mortgages, the purchasers would have settled certain percentage of the total contract amount in accordance with related PRC regulations upon delivery of the properties. The directors of the Target are of the opinion that such settlements provide sufficient evidence of the purchasers’ commitment to honour contractual obligation of the bank loans. In addition, based on past experiences, there were no significant defaults of mortgage facilities by the purchasers resulted in the bank guarantees provided. Accordingly, the directors believe that significant risks and rewards associated to the ownership of the properties have been transferred to the purchasers. (e) Construction contracts Revenue from individual upfitting contract is recognized under the percentage of completion method which requires estimation made by management. Because of the nature of the activity undertaken in upfitting services, the date at which the contract activity is entered into and the date when the activity is completed sometimes fall into different accounting periods. The Target Group reviews and revises the estimates of both contract revenue and contract costs in each contract budget as the contract progresses and regularly reviews the progress of the contracts. The Target Group also monitors the progress payments from customers against the contract terms, and periodically evaluates the creditworthiness of the customers. If circumstances arise which make it likely that a customer would default on all or part of its payments or otherwise fail to fulfil its performance obligations under the contract terms, the Target Group will reassess the outcome of the relevant contract — II-54 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group and may revise the relevant estimates. The revision will be reflected in the combined income statement in the period in which the circumstances that give rise to the revision become known by the Target Group. (f) Estimated impairment of assets The Target Group tests at least annually whether assets have suffered any impairment in accordance with the accounting policies stated in Note 3.7. Assets are also reviewed for impairment, whenever events or changes in circumstances that may cause the carrying amounts of the assets to exceed their recoverable amounts. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash generating unit is determined as the higher of cash generating unit’s fair value less cost to sell and its value-in-use which requires the use of assumptions and estimates. 6. Segment information Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the chief operating committee (the “Committee”) that are used to make strategic decisions. The Committee considers the business’ performance from a product perspective and has categorized its business into property development and upfitting services. The Committee assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of operating profit. This measurement basis excludes the effects of non-recurring expenditure from the operating segments. Finance costs and corporate finance income are not included in the result for each operating segment that is reviewed by the Committee, as they are driven by activities of the central treasury function, which manages the cash position of the Target Group. Other information provided to the Committee, except as noted below, is measured in a manner consistent with that in the financial statements. Total segment assets exclude corporate cash and cash equivalents and deferred income tax assets, both of which are managed on a central basis. Total segment liabilities exclude borrowings and deferred income tax liabilities, both of which are managed on a central basis as well. These are part of the reconciliation to total balance sheet assets and liabilities. Transactions between segments are carried out at arm’s length. The revenue from external parties reported to the Committee is measured in a manner consistent with that in the combined income statement. Turnover consists of sales from property development and contract revenue as derived from upfitting services, which are as follows: Year ended 31 December Property development Contract revenue — II-55 — 2011 RMB’000 2012 RMB’000 2013 RMB’000 131,169 1,991,271 1,505,336 2,231,756 2,808,096 2,052,064 APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group The segment information for the years ended 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013 is as follows: Total RMB’000 Intercompany elimination RMB’000 RMB’000 2,051,681 (60,410) 2,182,850 (60,410) — — 2,182,850 (60,410) 131,169 1,991,271 2,122,440 — 2,122,440 (94,935) (1,244) 12,097 1,540 — 111,657 (1,530) (36,535) 2,450 25,062 16,722 (2,774) (24,438) 3,990 25,062 (2,856) — — — — 13,866 (2,774) (24,438) 3,990 25,062 Total revenue Inter-segment revenue 1,505,336 — 2,247,272 (15,516) 3,752,608 (15,516) — — 3,752,608 (15,516) Revenue (from external customers) 1,505,336 2,231,756 3,737,092 — 3,737,092 180,027 (1,710) (83,153) 5,052 — 157,181 (1,941) (38,326) 2,280 46,691 337,208 (3,651) (121,479) 7,332 46,691 (7,078) — — — — 330,130 (3,651) (121,479) 7,332 46,691 Total revenue Inter-segment revenue 2,808,096 — 2,053,361 (1,297) 4,861,457 (1,297) — — 4,861,457 (1,297) Revenue (from external customers) 2,808,096 2,052,064 4,860,160 — 4,860,160 210,916 (2,041) (74,706) 6,449 — 150,995 (2,166) (27,548) 2,131 33,027 361,911 (4,207) (102,254) 8,580 33,027 2,904 — — — — 364,815 (4,207) (102,254) 8,580 33,027 Property development RMB’000 Upfitting services RMB’000 Total revenue Inter-segment revenue 131,169 — Revenue (from external customers) Segment operating profit Depreciation (Note 25) Income tax expense (Note 28) Finance income Impairment losses Total Year ended 31 December 2011 Year ended 31 December 2012 Segment operating profit Depreciation (Note 25) Income tax expense (Note 28) Finance income Impairment losses Year ended 31 December 2013 Segment operating profit Depreciation (Note 25) Income tax expense (Note 28) Finance income Impairment losses — II-56 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group RMB’000 InterCompany elimination RMB’000 RMB’000 1,242,370 21,604,324 (3,350,552) 18,253,772 4,351 4,837 9,188 — 9,188 7,303,985 826,401 8,130,386 (1,259,098) 6,871,288 Total segment assets Additions to non-current assets (other than financial instruments and deferred income tax assets) 24,526,430 2,350,401 26,876,831 (3,386,787) 23,490,044 1,747 2,821 4,568 — 4,568 Total segment liabilities 16,682,203 1,650,915 18,333,118 (1,239,582) 17,093,536 Total segment assets Additions to non-current assets (other than financial instruments and deferred income tax assets) 26,215,848 2,325,352 28,541,200 (2,743,223) 25,797,977 873 395 1,268 — 1,268 Total segment liabilities 12,912,812 1,169,693 14,082,505 (207,715) 13,874,790 Property development RMB’000 Upfitting services RMB’000 20,361,954 Total Total As at 31 December 2011 Total segment assets Additions to non-current assets (other than financial instruments and deferred income tax assets) Total segment liabilities As at 31 December 2012 As at 31 December 2013 A reconciliation of segment operating profit to profit before income tax is provided as follows: Year ended 31 December 2011 RMB’000 2012 RMB’000 2013 RMB’000 Segment operating profit Finance costs (Note 27) 13,866 (9,889) 330,130 (9,035) 364,815 (35,596) Profit before income tax 3,977 321,095 329,219 — II-57 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group Reportable and other segments’ assets and liabilities are reconciled to total assets and liabilities as follows: As at 31 December 2011 RMB’000 2012 RMB’000 2013 RMB’000 Total segment assets Deferred income tax assets (Note 20) 18,253,772 32,398 23,490,044 68,876 25,797,977 119,670 Total assets per combined balance sheet 18,286,170 23,558,920 25,917,647 6,871,288 9,045,516 1,385,000 17,093,536 3,492,182 1,789,220 13,874,790 8,822,779 1,825,850 17,301,804 22,374,938 24,523,419 Total segment liabilities Current borrowings (Note 19) Non-current borrowings (Note 19) Total liabilities per combined balance sheet The Target is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, with most of its major subsidiaries domiciled in the PRC.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION 1. Group information Max Great Holdings Limited (“Max Great Holdings”) was incorporated with limited liability in the British Virgin Islands on 4 January 2008. The address of its registered office is P.O. Box 957, Offshore Incorporations Centre, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands. Max Great Holdings, being an investment holding company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Max Great Holdings Group”) are principally engaged in property development in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Renminbi(“RMB”), unless otherwise stated. Sino-Ocean Land Holdings Limited (the “SOLH”) is the ultimate holding company of Max Great Holdings Group during the Relevant Periods and up to the date of this report. 2. Basis of preparation The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS”). They have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The preparation of the Financial Information in conformity with HKFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Financial Information, are disclosed in Note 5. 3. Summary of significant accounting policies The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Financial Information are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the relevant years presented, unless otherwise stated. 3.1 New and amended standards and interpretations not yet adopted The following new standard has been issued but is not effective for the financial year beginning 1 January 2014 and has not been early adopted: HKFRS 9, “Financial instruments”, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. HKFRS 9 was issued in November 2009 and October 2010 and amended in July 2014. It replaces the whole of IAS/HKAS 39. HKFRS 9 has three financial asset classification categories for investments in debt instruments: amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and fair value through profit or loss. Classification is driven by the entity’s business model for managing the debt instruments and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Investments in equity instruments are always measured at fair value. However, management can make an irrevocable election to present changes in fair value in OCI, provided the instrument is not held for trading. If the equity instrument is held for trading, changes in fair value are presented in profit or loss. For financial liabilities there are two classification categories: amortised cost and fair value through profit or loss. Where non-derivative financial liabilities are designated at fair value through profit or loss, the changes in the fair value due to changes in the liability’s own credit risk are recognised in OCI, unless such changes in fair value would create an accounting mismatch in profit or loss, in which case, all fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss. There is no subsequent recycling of the amounts in OCI to profit or loss. For financial liabilities held for trading (including derivative financial liabilities), all changes in fair value are presented in profit or loss. — II-104 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group HKFRS 9 introduces a new model for the recognition of impairment losses – the expected credit losses (ECL) model, which constitutes a change from the incurred loss model in HKAS 39. HKFRS 9 contains a “three stage” approach, which is based on the change in credit quality of financial assets since initial recognition. Assets move through the three stages as credit quality changes and the stages dictate how an entity measures impairment losses and applies the effective interest rate method. The new rules mean that on initial recognition of a non-credit impaired financial asset carried at amortised cost a day-1 loss equal to the 12-month ECL is recognised in profit or loss. In the case of accounts receivables this day-1 loss will be equal to their lifetime ECL. Where there is a significant increase in credit risk, impairment is measured using lifetime ECL rather than 12-month ECL. HKFRS 9 applies to all hedging relationships, with the exception of portfolio fair value hedges of interest rate risk. The new guidance better aligns hedge accounting with the risk management activities of an entity and provides relief from the more “rule-based” approach of IAS/HKAS39. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Earlier application is permitted. Entities applying the standard before 1 February 2015 continue to have the option to apply the standard in phases. Therefore Max Great Holdings Group is yet to assess HKFRS 9’s full impact. HKFRS 15, “Revenue from contracts with customers”, is based on the principle that revenue is recognized when control of a good or service transfers to the customer. HKFRS 15 was issued in July 2014. It replaces the separate models for goods, services and construction contracts under current HKFRS. HKFRS 15 is a single model that distinguishes between performance obligations satisfied at a point in time and those are satisfied over time. The criteria are provided to determine when a good or service transfers over time. But not all the criteria are intuitive and might change practice in some industries such as real estate and construction. If the criteria are not met, indicators of control are used to determine when revenue is recognized. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017. Earlier application is permitted. Max Great Holdings Group is yet to assess HKFRS 15’s full impact. 3.2Subsidiaries 3.2.1Consolidation A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity) over which Max Great Holdings Group has control. Max Great Holdings Group controls an entity when Max Great Holdings Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to Max Great Holdings Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. — II-105 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group (a) Business combinations Max Great Holdings Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by Max Great Holdings Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Max Great Holdings Group recognizes any non-controlling interests in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the recognized amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognized in profit or loss. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by Max Great Holdings Group is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognized in accordance with HKAS 39 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interests recognized and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement. Intra-group transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated. When necessary, amounts reported by subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform with Max Great Holdings Group’s accounting policies. (b) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions – that is, as transactions with the owners of the subsidiary in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying amount of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity. — II-106 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group (c) Disposal of subsidiaries When Max Great Holdings Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if Max Great Holdings Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. 3.2.2 Separate financial statements Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment. Cost includes direct attributable costs of investment. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the company on the basis of dividend received and receivable. Impairment testing of the investments in subsidiaries is required upon receiving a dividend from these investments if the dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of the subsidiary in the period the dividend is declared or if the carrying amount of the investment in the separate financial statements exceeds the carrying amount in the consolidated financial statements of the investee’s net assets including goodwill. 3.3 Foreign currency translation (a) Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each of Max Great Holdings Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”).The consolidated financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is the Company’s functional and Max Great Holdings Group’s presentation currency. (b) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the consolidated income statement. Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the income statement within “finance income or cost”. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the income statement within “other gains/(losses) – net”. Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in foreign currency classified as available-for-sale are analyzed between translation differences resulting from changes in the amortized cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. Translation differences related to changes in amortized cost are recognized in profit or loss, and other changes in carrying amount are recognized in other comprehensive income. — II-107 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities, such as equity instruments held at fair value through profit or loss, are recognized in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary items such as equities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are included in other comprehensive income. (c) Group companies The results and financial position of all the group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: 3.4 (i) assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet; (ii) income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates(unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and (iii) all resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to Max Great Holdings Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the consolidated income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred. Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows: Vehicles Office equipment Electronic equipment 8 years 5 years 3 years The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (Note 3.5). Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amounts. These are recognized within “other gains/(losses) — net”, in the consolidated income statement. 3.5 Impairment of non-financial assets Assets that have an indefinite useful life or are not yet available for use are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs — II-108 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. 3.6 Financial assets 3.6.1Classification Max Great Holdings Group classifies its financial assets into financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at every reporting date. (a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are also categorized as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if expected to be settled within 12 months; otherwise, they are classified as noncurrent. (b) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, which are classified as non-current assets. Max Great Holdings Group’s loans and receivables comprise “trade and other receivables”, “restricted bank deposit” and “cash and cash equivalents” in the balance sheet (Note 3.9 and 3.10). (c) Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose of it within 12 months of the end of the reporting period. 3.6.2 Recognition and measurement Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on trade-date, the date on which Max Great Holdings Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated income statement. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and Max Great Holdings Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. — II-109 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the “financial assets at fair value through profit or loss” category are presented in the income statement within “other gains/(losses) – net” in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognized in the income statement as part of other income when Max Great Holdings Group’s right to receive payments is established. Changes in the fair value of monetary and non-monetary securities classified as availablefor-sale are recognized in other comprehensive income. When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognized in equity are included in the consolidated income statement as part of “other gains/(losses) – net”. Interests on available-for-sale securities calculated using the effective interest method are recognized in the consolidated income statement as part of other income. Dividends on availablefor-sale equity instruments are recognized in the consolidated income statement as part of other income when Max Great Holdings Group’s right to receive payments is established. 3.7 Impairment of financial assets (a) Assets carried at amortized cost Max Great Holdings Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a “loss event”) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization, and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. For loans and receivables category, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement. If a loan or held-to-maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, Max Great Holdings Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognized impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement. — II-110 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group (b) Assets classified as available-for-sale Max Great Holdings Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. For debt securities, Max Great Holdings Group uses the criteria referred to (a) above. In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is also evidence that the assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss — measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in profit or loss — is removed from equity and recognized in the consolidated income statement. Impairment losses recognized in the combined income statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the consolidated income statement. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available-for-sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed through the consolidated income statement. 3.8Inventories (a) Properties under development Properties under development are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is determined by reference to estimated sales proceeds of the properties sold in the ordinary course of business less costs to complete development and estimated selling expenses. Development costs of properties comprises land use rights, construction costs, borrowing costs and professional fees as incurred during the development period. On completion, all development costs of the properties are transferred to completed properties held for sale. (b) Completed properties held for sale Completed properties held for sale are completed properties remaining unsold at the balance sheet date and are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable values. Cost comprises development costs attributable to the unsold properties. Net realizable values is determined by reference to the sale proceeds of properties sold in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses, or by management estimates based on prevailing marketing conditions. 3.9 Other receivables If collection of other receivables is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets. Other receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. 3.10 Cash and cash equivalents In the consolidated cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. — II-111 — APPENDIX II 3.11 FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group Share capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental cost directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. 3.12 Trade payables Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. 3.13 Borrowings and Borrowing costs Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless Max Great Holdings Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date. General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. 3.14 Current and deferred income tax The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred income tax. Tax is recognized in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. 3.14.1 Current income tax The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the country where Max Great Holdings’s subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. 3.14.2 Deferred income tax Deferred income tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if they — II-112 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group arise from the initial recognition of goodwill, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred income tax liabilities are provided on taxable temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, except for deferred income tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by Max Great Holdings Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Generally Max Great Holdings Group is unable to control the reversal of the temporary difference for associates. Only where there is an agreement in place that gives Max Great Holdings Group the ability to control the reversal of the temporary difference not recognized. Deferred income tax assets are recognized on deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries only to the extent that it is probable the temporary difference will reverse in the future and there is sufficient taxable profit available against which the temporary difference can be utilized. 3.14.3Offsetting Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis. 3.15 Employee benefits (a) Employee leave entitlements Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognized when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employee up to the balance sheet date. Employee entitlements to sick leave and maternity leave are not recognized until the time of leave. (b) Bonus entitlements Expected costs of bonus payments are recognized as liabilities when constructive obligations are present, as a result of services rendered by employees and reliable estimations of the obligations can be made. (c) Retirement benefits In accordance with the rules and regulations in the PRC, the PRC based employees of Max Great Holdings Group participate in various defined contribution retirement plans organized by the relevant municipal and provincial governments in the PRC under which Max Great Holdings Group and the PRC based employees are required to make monthly contributions to these plans calculated as a percentage of the employees’ salaries. — II-113 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group The municipal and provincial governments undertake to assume the retirement benefit obligations of all existing and future retired PRC based employees payable under the plans described above. Other than the monthly contributions, Max Great Holdings Group has no further obligation for the payment of retirement and other post retirement benefits of its employees. The assets of these plans are held separately from those of Max Great Holdings Group in independently administrated funds managed by the PRC government. Max Great Holdings Group’s contributions to the defined contribution retirement schemes are expensed as incurred. 3.16Provisions Provisions are recognized when Max Great Holdings Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense. 3.17 Revenue recognition Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of Max Great Holdings Group’s activities. Revenue is shown, net of returns, discounts and after eliminating sales within Max Great Holdings Group. Max Great Holdings Group recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and when specific criteria have been met for each of Max Great Holdings Group’s activities as described below. Max Great Holdings Group bases its estimates on historical results, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement. (a) Sale of properties Revenue from sales of properties is recognized when the risks and rewards of the properties transferred to the purchaser, which is when the construction of the relevant properties have been completed and properties have been delivered to the purchaser pursuant to the sale agreements, and collectability of related receivables is reasonably assured. Deposits and instalments received on properties sold prior to the date of revenue recognition are included in current liabilities, and are separately stated in the balance sheet as advances receipts from customers. (b) Interest income Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. When a loan and receivable is impaired, Max Great Holdings Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. — II-114 — APPENDIX II 4. FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group Financial risk management 4.1 Financial risk factors Max Great Holdings (including foreign exchange risk and liquidity risk. Max unpredictability of financial Holdings Group’s financial managing each of these risks (a) Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk risk, cash flow interest rate risk and fair value interest rate risk), credit Great Holdings Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on Max Great performance. The board of directors reviews and approves policies for and they are summarized below. Market risk (i) Foreign exchange risk The operations and majority of Max Great Holdings Group’s customers are located in the PRC with most of the assets/liabilities and transactions denominated and settled in RMB. As the commercial transactions settled in foreign currencies are not material, the directors of Max Great Holdings are of the view that Max Great Holdings Group’s exposure to foreign exchange risk would be immaterial. (ii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk As Max Great Holdings Group has no significant interest-bearing assets, Max Great Holdings Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. Max Great Holdings Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings with prevailing market interest rates. Such risk is partly offset by cash at banks held at prevailing market interest rates. During the Relevant Periods, Max Great Holdings Group’s borrowings at prevailing market interest rates were denominated in RMB. Max Great Holdings Group currently does not utilize any derivative contracts to hedge its exposure to interest rate risk. However, management will consider hedging significant interest rate exposure should the need arise. The directors of Max Great Holdings consider that the fluctuation in interest rate has no material impact on Max Great Holdings Group’s post-tax profit for the Relevant Periods as most of interest expenses were capitalized. (b) Credit risk Credit risk arises from restricted bank deposits, cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables. The carrying amounts of restricted bank deposits, cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, represent Max Great Holdings Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to its financial assets. To manage such exposure, Max Great Holdings Group has policies in place to ensure that sales are made to purchasers with appropriate financial strengths and credit history, at the same time appropriate percentages of down payments are made. Deposits are placed with banks with appropriate credit ratings. Monitoring procedures are also in place to ensure that followup action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, Max Great Holdings Group reviews and assesses the recoverable amount of each individual receivable on a regular basis to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. Max Great Holdings Group has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a number of counterparties and customers. — II-115 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group Credit risk arises from restricted bank deposits is limited, as all counterparties are banks with appropriate credit rankings. (c) Liquidity risk Cash flow forecast by Max Great Holdings Group and Max Great Holdings Group monitors rolling forecasts of Max Great Holdings Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities. Such forecast takes into consideration Max Great Holdings Group’s debt financing plans, covenant compliance, compliance with internal balance sheet ratio targets. As at 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013, Max Great Holdings Group held cash and cash equivalents of RMB 1,387,000, RMB 50,883,000 and RMB 204,201,000 (Note 13) and other receivables of RMB 391,000, RMB 57,201,000 and RMB 124,825,000 (Note 10) that are expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk. The table below analyzes Max Great Holdings Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. The amount disclosed in the table is the contractual undiscounted cash flows. At 31 December 2011 Borrowings Trade and other payables excluding statutory liabilities At 31 December 2012 Borrowings Trade and other payables excluding statutory liabilities At 31 December 2013 Borrowings Trade and other payables excluding statutory liabilities — II-116 — Less than 1 year RMB’000 Between 1 and 2 years RMB’000 Total RMB’000 — — — 233,331 — 233,331 233,331 — 233,331 68,330 — 68,330 346,089 — 346,089 414,419 — 414,419 137,040 213,870 350,910 568,693 — 568,693 705,733 213,870 919,603 APPENDIX II 4.2 FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group Capital risk management Max Great Holdings Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard Max Great Holdings Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, Max Great Holdings Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. Consistent with others in the industry, Max Great Holdings Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including current and non-current borrowings as shown in the consolidated balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as “equity” as shown in the consolidated balance sheet plus net debt. The gearing ratios at 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013 were as follows. As at 31 December 2011 RMB’000 2012 RMB’000 2013 RMB’000 Total borrowings (Note 14) Less: cash and cash equivalents (Note 13) — (1,387) 65,000 (50,883) 313,000 (204,201) Net debt Total equity (1,387) 53,812 14,117 113,994 108,799 149,165 Total capital 52,425 128,111 257,964 Gearing ratio NA 11% 42% — II-117 — APPENDIX II 5. FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group Critical accounting estimates and judgements Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Max Great Holdings Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. (a) Income taxes and land appreciation tax (“LAT”) Max Great Holdings Group is primarily subject to various PRC taxes, as it is principally engaged in property development in the PRC. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Max Great Holdings recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred income tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. The implementation and settlement of LAT varies among various tax jurisdictions in cities of the PRC. LAT is levied at progressive rates ranging from 30% to 60% on the appreciation of land value, being the proceeds from sales of properties less deductible expenditures including land use rights, borrowing costs, business taxes, property development and other related expenditures. These taxes are incurred upon transfer of property ownership. Significant judgment is required in determining the extent of land appreciation and its related taxes. Max Great Holdings Group recognized LAT based on management’s best estimates according to the understanding of the tax rules. The final tax outcome could be different from the amounts that were initially recorded, and these differences will impact the consolidated income statement in the periods in which such taxes are finalized with local tax authorities. (b) Deferred income tax Deferred income tax assets relating to certain temporary differences and tax losses are recognized when management considers it probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences or tax losses can be utilized. The outcome of their actual utilization may be different. (c) Estimations for total properties construction cost Max Great Holdings Group estimates properties construction cost upon recognition of respective costs of sales. Such estimates are substantiated by detailed budgetary information as developed by the management, and will be assessed periodically, as the constructions progress. Should these estimates depart from their actual finalized costs, such differences would affect the accuracy of costs of sales recognized. (d) Revenue recognition Max Great Holdings Group has recognized revenue from the sale of properties held for sale as disclosed in Note 3.17. The assessment of when an entity has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to buyers requires the examination of the circumstances of the transaction. In most cases, the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership coincides with the date when the equitable interest in the property vests to the buyer, upon release of the respective property to the purchaser. — II-118 — APPENDIX II (f) FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group Estimated impairment of assets Max Great Holdings Group tests at least annually whether assets have suffered any impairment in accordance with the accounting policies stated in Note 3.5. Assets are also reviewed for impairment, whenever events or changes in circumstances that may cause the carrying amounts of the assets to exceed their recoverable amounts. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash generating unit is determined as the higher of cash generating unit’s fair value less cost to sell and its value-in-use which requires the use of assumptions and estimates. 6.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION 1. Group structure, reorganization and principal activities (a) General information Bright Shining Group Limited (“Bright Shining”) was incorporated with limited liability in the British Virgin Islands on 8 January 2008. The address of its registered office is P.O. Box 957, Offshore Incorporations Centre, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands. Bright Shining, being an investment holding company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Bright Shining Group”) are principally engaged in property development in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). At the date of the report and during the Relevant Periods, the ultimate holding company of Bright Shining is Sino-Ocean Land Holding Limited (the “SOLH”), a company incorporated in Hong Kong with its shares listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. The combined financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), unless otherwise stated. (b)Reorganization During the Relevant Periods, the property development business of the Bright Shining Group was conducted by Qingdao Yuanjia Property Development Company Limited (the “Qingdao Yuanjia”), a company incorporated in the PRC. At the date of this report, the Bright Shining indirectly holds Qingdao Yuanjia through an intermediate investment holding company. The Bright Shining Group was ultimately controlled by the SOLH during the Relevant Periods. During the Relevant Periods, although the Bright Shining held 97% of the equity interest in Qingdao Yuanjia, the Bright Shining did not have the power to control the financial and operating policies of Qingdao Yuanjia. Pursuant to the Reorganization, the Bright Shining acquired an 80% voting rights of Qingdao Yuanjia from Sino-Ocean Land Limited (the “SOLL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the SOLH and therefore upon completion of the Reorganization, Qingdao Yuanjia became a subsidiary of the Bright Shining. 2. Basis of presentation Prior to and following the Reorganization, all the business of the Bright Shining Group is ultimately controlled by SOLH. Accordingly, the Reorganization has been accounted for as a business combination under common control using merger accounting. For the purpose of this report, the combined Financial Information of the Bright Shining Group has been prepared using the principles of merger accounting, as prescribed in Hong Kong Accounting Guidance 5 “Merger Accounting for Common Control Combinations” issue by the HKICPA. Accordingly, Bright Shining Group’s combined balance sheets as at 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013, and its combined income statements, combined statements of comprehensive income, combined statements of changes in equity and combined cash flow statements for the Relevant Periods have been prepared using the financial information of the companies now comprising the Bright Shining Group as if the current group structure had been in existence since 1 January 2011. — II-149 — APPENDIX II 3. FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group Summary of significant accounting policies The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Financial Information are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the relevant years presented, unless otherwise stated. 3.1 Basis of preparation The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS”). They have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The preparation of the Financial Information in conformity with HKFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the combined financial statements, are disclosed in Note 5. As at 31 December 2013, the Bright Shining Group’s gearing ratio is 100%, which created doubt about Bright Shining Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The directors of the Bright Shining have prepared cash flow projections by taking into account the financial resources available to the Bright Shining Group, mainly including cash generated from operating activities. Moreover, other borrowings from a fellow subsidiary amounting to RMB1,170,434,000 (see Note 11) were replaced by long term entrusted loans as a result of an agreement reached between the Bright Shining Group and a subsidiary of SOLH after 31 December 2013 (see Note 22). Taking these into account, the directors of the Company believe that the Bright Shining Group will have sufficient financial resources for its operations in the next twelve months from 31 December 2013. Consequently the directors of the Company have prepared the Financial Information on a going concern basis. 3.2 New and amended standards and interpretations not yet adopted The following new standard has been issued but is not effective for the financial year beginning 1 January 2014 and has not been early adopted: HKFRS 9, “Financial instruments”, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. HKFRS 9 was issued in November 2009 and October 2010 and amended in July 2014. It replaces the whole of HKAS 39. HKFRS 9 has three financial asset classification categories for investments in debt instruments: amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and fair value through profit or loss. Classification is driven by the entity’s business model for managing the debt instruments and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Investments in equity instruments are always measured at fair value. However, management can make an irrevocable election to present changes in fair value in OCI, provided the instrument is not held for trading. If the equity instrument is held for trading, changes in fair value are presented in profit or loss. For financial liabilities there are two classification categories: amortised cost and fair value through profit or loss. Where non-derivative financial liabilities are designated at fair value through profit or loss, the changes in the fair value due to changes in the liability’s own credit risk are recognised in OCI, unless such changes in fair value would create an accounting mismatch in profit or loss, in which case, all fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss. There is no subsequent recycling of the amounts in OCI to profit or loss. For financial liabilities held for trading (including derivative financial liabilities), all changes in fair value are presented in profit or loss. HKFRS 9 introduces a new model for the recognition of impairment losses – the expected credit losses (ECL) model, which constitutes a change from the incurred loss model in HKAS 39. HKFRS 9 contains a “three stage” approach, which is based on the change in credit quality of financial assets since initial recognition. Assets move through the three stages as credit quality changes and the stages dictate how an entity measures impairment losses and applies the effective interest rate method. The new rules mean that on initial recognition of a non-credit impaired financial asset carried at amortised cost a day1 loss equal to the 12-month ECL is recognised in profit or loss. In the case of accounts receivables this day-1 loss will be equal to their lifetime ECL. Where there is a significant increase in credit risk, impairment is measured using lifetime ECL rather than 12-month ECL. — II-150 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group HKFRS 9 applies to all hedging relationships, with the exception of portfolio fair value hedges of interest rate risk. The new guidance better aligns hedge accounting with the risk management activities of an entity and provides relief from the more “rule-based” approach of HKAS39. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Earlier application is permitted. Entities applying the standard before 1 February 2015 continue to have the option to apply the standard in phases. Therefore the Bright Shining Group is yet to assess HKFRS 9’s full impact. HKFRS 15, “Revenue from contracts with customers”, is based on the principle that revenue is recognized when control of a good or service transfers to the customer. HKFRS 15 was issued in July 2014. It replaces the separate models for goods, services and construction contracts under current HKFRS. HKFRS 15 is a single model that distinguishes between performance obligations satisfied at a point in time and those are satisfied over time. The criteria are provided to determine when a good or service transfers over time. But not all the criteria are intuitive and might change practice in some industries such as real estate and construction. If the criteria are not met, indicators of control are used to determine when revenue is recognized. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017. Earlier application is permitted. The Bright Shining Group is yet to assess HKFRS 15’s full impact. 3.3Subsidiaries 3.3.1Consolidation A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity) over which the Bright Shining Group has control. The Bright Shining Group controls an entity when the Bright Shining Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Bright Shining Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. (a) Business combination under common control The combined financial information incorporate the financial statements of the combining entities or businesses in which the common control combination occurs as if they had been combined from the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the control of the controlling party. The net assets of the combining entities or businesses are combined using the existing book values from the controlling parties’ perspective. No amount is recognized in consideration for goodwill or excess of acquirers’ interest in the net fair value of acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of common control combination, to the extent of the continuation of the controlling party’s interest. The combined income statement includes the results of each of the combining entities or businesses from the earliest date presented or since the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the common control, where there is a shorter period, regardless of the date of the common control combination. The comparative amounts in the combined financial information are presented as if the entities or businesses had been combined at the previous balance sheet date or when they first came under common control, whichever is shorter. — II-151 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group A uniform set of accounting policies is adopted by those entities. All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between combining entities or businesses are eliminated on combination. Transaction costs, including professional fees, registration fees, costs of furnishing information to shareholders, costs or losses incurred in combining operations of the previously separate businesses, etc., incurred in relation to the common control combination that is to be accounted for by using merger accounting is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. (b) Business combinations not under common control Bright Shining Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations with parties that are not under common control. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Bright Shining Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Bright Shining Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognized amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognized in profit or loss. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Bright Shining Group is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognized in accordance with HKAS 39 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognized and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement. Intra-group transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated. When necessary, amounts reported by subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform with the Bright Shining Group’s accounting policies. — II-152 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group (c) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions – that is, as transactions with the owners of the subsidiary in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying amount of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity. (d) Disposal of subsidiaries When the Bright Shining Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Bright Shining Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. 3.3.2 Separate financial statements Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment. Cost includes direct attributable costs of investment. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the company on the basis of dividend received and receivable. Impairment testing of the investments in subsidiaries is required upon receiving a dividend from these investments if the dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of the subsidiary in the period the dividend is declared or if the carrying amount of the investment in the separate financial statements exceeds the carrying amount in the combined financial information of the investee’s net assets including goodwill. 3.4 Foreign currency translation (a) Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each of the Bright Shining Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The combined financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is the Company’s functional and the Bright Shining Group’s presentation currency. (b) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the combined income statement. Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the income statement within “finance income or cost”. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the income statement within “other gains/(losses) – net”. — II-153 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in foreign currency classified as available-for-sale are analyzed between translation differences resulting from changes in the amortized cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. Translation differences related to changes in amortized cost are recognized in profit or loss, and other changes in carrying amount are recognized in other comprehensive income. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities, such as equity instruments held at fair value through profit or loss, are recognized in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary items such as equities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are included in other comprehensive income. (c) Group companies The results and financial position of all the group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: 3.5 (i) assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet; (ii) income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and (iii) all resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Bright Shining Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the combined income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred. Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows: Machineries Vehicles Office equipment Electronic equipment 8 8 5 3 years years years years The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (Note 3.6). Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amounts. These are recognized within “other gains/(losses) — net”, in the combined income statement. — II-154 — APPENDIX II 3.6 FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group Impairment of non-financial assets Assets that have an indefinite useful life or are not yet available for use are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. 3.7 Financial assets 3.7.1Classification The Bright Shining Group classifies its financial assets into financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at every reporting date. (a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are also categorized as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if expected to be settled within 12 months; otherwise, they are classified as noncurrent. (b) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, which are classified as non-current assets. The Bright Shining Group’s loans and receivables comprise “other receivables” and “cash and cash equivalents” in the balance sheet (Note 3.10 and 3.11). (c) Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose of it within 12 months of the end of the reporting period. 3.7.2 Recognition and measurement Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on trade-date, the date on which the Bright Shining Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the combined income statement. — II-155 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Bright Shining Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the “financial assets at fair value through profit or loss” category are presented in the income statement within “other gains/(losses) – net” in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognized in the income statement as part of other income when the Bright Shining Group’s right to receive payments is established. Changes in the fair value of monetary and non-monetary securities classified as availablefor-sale are recognized in other comprehensive income. When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognized in equity are included in the combined income statement as part of “other gains/(losses) – net”. Interests on available-for-sale securities calculated using the effective interest method are recognized in the combined income statement as part of other income. Dividends on availablefor-sale equity instruments are recognized in the combined income statement as part of other income when the Bright Shining Group’s right to receive payments is established. 3.8 Impairment of financial assets (a) Assets carried at amortized cost The Bright Shining Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a “loss event”) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization, and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. For loans and receivables category, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognized in the combined income statement. If a loan or held-to-maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Bright Shining Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognized impairment loss is recognized in the combined income statement. — II-156 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group (b) Assets classified as available-for-sale The Bright Shining Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. For debt securities, the Bright Shining Group uses the criteria referred to (a) above. In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is also evidence that the assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss — measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in profit or loss — is removed from equity and recognized in the combined income statement. Impairment losses recognized in the combined income statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the combined income statement. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available-for-sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed through the combined income statement. 3.9Inventories (a) Properties under development Properties under development are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is determined by reference to estimated sales proceeds of the properties sold in the ordinary course of business less costs to complete development and estimated selling expenses. Development costs of properties comprises land use rights, construction costs, borrowing costs and professional fees as incurred during the development period. On completion, all development costs of the properties are transferred to completed properties held for sale. (b) Completed properties held for sale Completed properties held for sale are completed properties remaining unsold at the balance sheet date and are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable values. Cost comprises development costs attributable to the unsold properties. Net realizable values is determined by reference to the sale proceeds of properties sold in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses, or by management estimates based on prevailing marketing conditions. 3.10 Other receivables If collection of other receivables is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets. Other receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. 3.11 Cash and cash equivalents In the combined cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. — II-157 — APPENDIX II 3.12 FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group Combined capital As the financial information has been prepared on a combined basis, the combined capital in the combined financial information represents the parent’s net investment in the Bright Shining Group. 3.13 Trade payables Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. 3.14 Borrowings and Borrowing costs Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Bright Shining Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date. General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. 3.15 Current and deferred income tax The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred income tax. Tax is recognized in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. 3.15.1 Current income tax The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the country where the Bright Shining’s subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. — II-158 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group 3.15.2 Deferred income tax Deferred income tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the combined financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred income tax liabilities are provided on taxable temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, except for deferred income tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Bright Shining Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Generally the Bright Shining Group is unable to control the reversal of the temporary difference for associates. Only where there is an agreement in place that gives the Bright Shining Group the ability to control the reversal of the temporary difference not recognized. Deferred income tax assets are recognized on deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries only to the extent that it is probable the temporary difference will reverse in the future and there is sufficient taxable profit available against which the temporary difference can be utilized. 3.15.3 Offsetting Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis. 3.16 Employee benefits (a) Employee leave entitlements Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognized when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employee up to the balance sheet date. Employee entitlements to sick leave and maternity leave are not recognized until the time of leave. (b) Bonus entitlements Expected costs of bonus payments are recognized as liabilities when constructive obligations are present, as a result of services rendered by employees and reliable estimations of the obligations can be made. — II-159 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group (c) Retirement benefits In accordance with the rules and regulations in the PRC, the PRC based employees of the Bright Shining Group participate in various defined contribution retirement plans organized by the relevant municipal and provincial governments in the PRC under which the Bright Shining Group and the PRC based employees are required to make monthly contributions to these plans calculated as a percentage of the employees’ salaries. The municipal and provincial governments undertake to assume the retirement benefit obligations of all existing and future retired PRC based employees payable under the plans described above. Other than the monthly contributions, the Bright Shining Group has no further obligation for the payment of retirement and other post retirement benefits of its employees. The assets of these plans are held separately from those of the Bright Shining Group in independently administrated funds managed by the PRC government. The Bright Shining Group’s contributions to the defined contribution retirement schemes are expensed as incurred. 3.17Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Bright Shining Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense. 3.18 Revenue recognition Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the Bright Shining Group’s activities. Revenue is shown, net of returns, discounts and after eliminating sales within the Bright Shining Group. The Bright Shining Group recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Bright Shining Group’s activities as described below. The Bright Shining Group bases its estimates on historical results, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement. (a) Sale of properties Revenue from sales of properties is recognized when the risks and rewards of the properties transferred to the purchaser, which is when the construction of the relevant properties have been completed and properties have been delivered to the purchaser pursuant to the sale agreements, and collectability of related receivables is reasonably assured. Deposits and instalments received on properties sold prior to the date of revenue recognition are included in current liabilities, and are separately stated in the balance sheet as advances receipts from customers. — II-160 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group (b) Interest income Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. When a loan and receivable is impaired, the Bright Shining Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. 4. Financial risk management 4.1 Financial risk factors The Bright Shining Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, cash flow interest rate risk and fair value interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Bright Shining Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Bright Shining Group’s financial performance. The board of directors reviews and approves policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarized below. (a) Market risk (i) Foreign exchange risk The operations and majority of the Bright Shining Group’s customers are located in the PRC with most of the assets/liabilities and transactions denominated and settled in RMB. As the commercial transactions settled in foreign currencies are not material, the directors of the Bright Shining are of the view that the Bright Shining Group’s exposure to foreign exchange risk would be immaterial. (ii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk As the Bright Shining Group has no significant interest-bearing assets, the Bright Shining Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. The Bright Shining Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings with prevailing market interest rates. Such risk is partly offset by cash at banks held at prevailing market interest rates. During the Relevant Periods, the Bright Shining Group’s borrowings at prevailing market interest rates were denominated in RMB. The Bright Shining Group currently does not utilize any derivative contracts to hedge its exposure to interest rate risk. However, management will consider hedging significant interest rate exposure should the need arise. The directors of the Bright Shining consider that the fluctuation in interest rate has no material impact on the Group’s post-tax profit for the Relevant Periods as most of interest expenses were capitalized. — II-161 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group (b) Credit risk Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, other receivables. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, represent the Bright Shining Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to its financial assets. To manage such exposure, the Bright Shining Group has policies in place to ensure that sales are made to purchasers with appropriate financial strengths and credit history, at the same time appropriate percentages of down payments are made. Deposits are placed with banks with appropriate credit ratings. Monitoring procedures are also in place to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Bright Shining Group reviews and assesses the recoverable amount of each individual trade receivables on a regular basis to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. The Bright Shining Group has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a number of counterparties and customers. (c) Liquidity risk Cash flow forecast by the Bright Shining Group and the Bright Shining Group monitors rolling forecasts of the Bright Shining Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities. Such forecast takes into consideration the Bright Shining Group’s debt financing plans, covenant compliance, compliance with internal balance sheet ratio Targets. As at 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Bright Shining Group held cash and cash equivalents of RMB333,000, RMB1,332,000 and RMB2,256,000 (Note 10) and other receivables of RMB1,000, RMB5,000 and RMB54,000 (Note 9) that are expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk. The table below analyzes the Bright Shining Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities — II-162 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. The amount disclosed in the table is the contractual undiscounted cash flows. At 31 December 2011 Borrowings Trade and other payables At 31 December 2012 Borrowings Trade and other payables At 31 December 2013 Borrowings Trade and other payables 4.2 Less than 1 year RMB’000 Between 1 and 2 years RMB’000 Between 2 and 5 years RMB’000 Total RMB’000 1,040,661 785,165 — — — — 1,040,661 785,165 1,825,826 — — 1,825,826 148,305 1,693,940 189,113 — — — 337,418 1,693,940 1,842,245 189,113 — 2,031,358 1,457,616 730,779 55,210 — — — 1,512,826 730,779 2,188,395 55,210 — 2,243,605 Capital risk management The Bright Shining Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Bright Shining Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Bright Shining Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. Consistent with others in the industry, the Bright Shining Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including current and non-current borrowings as shown in the combined balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as “equity” as shown in the combined balance sheet plus net debt. — II-163 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group The gearing ratios at 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013 were as follows. As at 31 December 2011 RMB’000 2012 RMB’000 2013 RMB’000 Total borrowings (Note 11) Less: cash and cash equivalents (Note 10) 969,500 (333) 303,808 (1,332) 1,449,242 (2,256) Net debt Total equity 969,167 16,592 302,476 13,076 1,446,986 1,923 Total capital 985,759 315,552 1,448,909 Gearing ratio 98% 96% 100% As at respective balance sheet dates, Bright Shining has gearing ratio of over 95%, which created doubt about the Bright Shining Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The directors of Bright Shining have prepared cash flow projections by taking into account the financial resources available to Bright Shining Group which mainly includes cash generated from operating activities. In addition, subsequent to 31 December 2013, borrowings from a fellow subsidiary amounting to RMB1,170,434,000 were replaced by long term entrusted loans (see Note 22). On this basis, the directors of the Company believe that Bright Shining Group will have sufficient financial resources for its operations at least for the next twelve months from 31 December 2013. 5. Critical accounting estimates and judgements Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Bright Shining Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. (a) Income taxes and land appreciation tax (“LAT”) The Bright Shining Group is primarily subject to various PRC taxes, as it is principally engaged in property development in the PRC. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Bright Shining recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred income tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. The implementation and settlement of LAT varies among various tax jurisdictions in cities of the PRC. LAT is levied at progressive rates ranging from 30% to 60% on the appreciation of land value, being the proceeds from sales of properties less deductible expenditures including land use rights, borrowing costs, business taxes, property development and other related expenditures. These taxes are incurred upon transfer of property ownership. — II-164 — APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FUND and the target group Significant judgment is required in determining the extent of land taxes. The Bright Shining Group recognized LAT based on management’s the understanding of the tax rules. The final tax outcome could be different initially recorded, and these differences will impact the combined income which such taxes are finalized with local tax authorities. (b) appreciation and its related best estimates according to from the amounts that were statement in the periods in Deferred income tax Deferred income tax assets relating to certain temporary differences and tax losses are recognized when management considers it probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences or tax losses can be utilized. The outcome of their actual utilization may be different. (c) Estimations for total properties construction cost The Bright Shining Group estimates properties construction cost upon recognition of respective costs of sales. Such estimates are substantiated by detailed budgetary information as developed by the management, and will be assessed periodically, as the constructions progress. Should these estimates depart from their actual finalized costs, such differences would affect the accuracy of costs of sales recognized. (d) Estimated impairment of assets The Bright Shining Group tests at least annually whether assets have suffered any impairment in accordance with the accounting policies stated in Note 3.6.

Also, the net current assets, the total assets less current liabilities and the total equity disclosed in the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2014 would be increased by HK$3,899,000,000 to approximately HK$2,626,161,000, HK$5,902,320,000 and HK$4,407,348,000 respectively. — III-7 — Appendix III Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Group ILLUSTRATING the Effect OF THE CAPITAL COMMITMENT The following is the text of a report from BDO Limited, the independent reporting accountants, in respect of the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Group illustrating the effect of the capital commitment as set out in this appendix and prepared for the sole purpose of inclusion in this circular.

Reporting accountant’s responsibilities Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by paragraph 4.29(7) of the Listing Rules, on the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information and to report our opinion to you. We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.

The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountant’s judgement, having regard to the reporting accountant’s understanding of the nature of the Group, the event or transaction in respect of which the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.

Words and expressions that are not expressly defined in this appendix shall bear the same meaning as that defined in this circular. 16th Floor Jardine House 1 Connaught Place Central Hong Kong 13 December 2014 The Directors Gemini Investments (Holdings) Limited Room 3902, 39/F, Lippo Centre Tower 1 89 Queensway Hong Kong Sino Prosperity Real Estate Fund L.P. PO Box 309, Ugland House, Grand Cayman, KY1-1104, Cayman Islands Dear Sirs, Re: Portfolio Valuation Instructions, Purpose & Date of Valuation In accordance with the instructions from Gemini Investments (Holdings) Limited (the “Company”) and Sino Prosperity Real Estate Fund L.P. for us to value the properties set out in this letter in which Sino-Ocean Land Holdings Limited (“Sino-Ocean Land”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter together referred to as the “Sino-Ocean Land Group”) have interests in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), we confirm that we have inspected the properties, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary to provide you with our opinion of the values of such properties as at 30 September 2014 (the “date of valuation”). Basis of Valuation Our valuation of each of the properties represents its market value which in accordance with The HKIS Valuation Standards (2012 Edition) published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors is defined as “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the date of valuation 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”. — IV-1 — Appendix IV Valuation Assumptions Property Valuation report oN THE PROPERTIES Our valuations exclude 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 sale, or any element of special value. In valuing the properties, we have complied with the requirements set out in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities published by The Stock Exchange of the Hong Kong Limited and The HKIS Valuation Standards (2012 Edition) published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors. Unless otherwise stated, in the course of our valuation of the properties in the PRC, we have assumed that the transferable land use rights of the properties for their respective terms at nominal annual land use fees have been granted and that any premium payable has already been fully paid. We have relied on the information regarding the title to each of the properties and the interests of the Sino-Ocean Land Group in the properties. In valuing the properties, we have assumed that the SinoOcean Land Group has an enforceable title to each of the properties and has free and uninterrupted rights to use, occupy or assign the properties for the whole of the respective unexpired land use term as granted. No allowance has been made in our valuations for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the properties nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect their values. Method of Valuation We have mainly adopted Direct Comparison Approach by making reference to comparable sale evidences as available on the market. Regarding the properties which are currently held by the Sino-Ocean Land Group under development, we have valued on the basis that each property will be developed and completed in accordance with the SinoOcean Land Group’s latest development proposals provided to us. We have assumed that all consents, approvals and licences from relevant government authorities for the development proposals have been obtained without onerous conditions or delays. We have also assumed that the design and construction of the development are in compliance with the local planning regulations and have been approved by the relevant authorities. The development value of the property when completed represents our opinion of the aggregate value of the development assuming it would have been completed at the date of valuation. In arriving at the final value of the property in existing state, we have also taken into account the construction costs expended and the costs that will be expended to reflect the quality of the completed development. Given the nature of the properties, mostly being residential units, ancillary retail podium units and car parking spaces, sales activities are frequent and thus sales evidence are readily available, Direct Comparison Approach is therefore used in the valuations which is in line with the market practice. — IV-2 — Appendix IV Source of Information Property Valuation report oN THE PROPERTIES We have not been provided by the Sino-Ocean Land Group with any title documents of the properties. However, we have been provided by the Sino-Ocean Land Group with fundamental information for carrying out the valuations. However, we have not inspected the original documents to ascertain any amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us. In the course of our valuation, we have relied to a very considerable extent on the information given to us by the Sino-Ocean Land Group or the Company’s legal adviser, Fenxun Law Office ( 奮 迅 律 師 事 務 所 ) regarding the title to each of the properties and the interests of the Sino-Ocean Land Group in the properties in respect of the properties in the PRC and have accepted advice given by the Sino-Ocean Land Group on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenure, identification of land and buildings, completion date of buildings, number of units, particulars of occupancy, development scheme, construction costs, tenancy details, site and floor areas, interest attributable to the Sino-Ocean Land Group and all other relevant matters. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuations are based on information provided to us and are therefore only approximations. We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Sino-Ocean Land Group which is material to the valuations. We were also advised by the Sino-Ocean Land Group that no material facts have been omitted from the information provided. Title Investigation We have not been provided with any title documents relating to the titles of the properties in the PRC, and no searches have been made in respect of the properties. We have not searched the original documents to verify ownership or to ascertain any amendment which may not appear on the information handed to us. We are also unable to ascertain the title of the properties in the PRC and we have therefore relied on the advice given by the Sino-Ocean Land Group regarding the Sino-Ocean Land Group’s interests in the properties. — IV-3 — Appendix IV Site Inspection Property Valuation report oN THE PROPERTIES Delly Chen, Zien Ding, David Zhu, Huiqiu Yin, Kevin Xu, Amy Zhang, Chelsea Liu and Jeffery Wang, ranking from Assistant Valuer to Manager, inspected the exterior and, whenever possible, the interior of the properties between October and November 2014. However, we have not carried out any soil investigations to determine the suitability of the soil conditions and the services etc. for any future development. Our valuations are prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary expenses or delays will be incurred during the construction period. Moreover, no structural survey has been made, but in the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects. We are, however, not able to report that the properties are free of rot, infestation or other structural defects. No test was carried out on any of the services. Our valuations are prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory. Unless otherwise stated, we have not been able to carry out on-site measurements to verify the site and floor areas of the properties and we have assumed that the areas shown on the documents handed to us are correct. Currency Unless otherwise stated, all money amounts indicated herein our valuations are in Renminbi (“RMB”) which is the official currency of the PRC. We enclose herewith a summary of valuations and our valuation certificates. Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of DTZ Debenham Tie Leung Limited Andrew K.F.
