  • For identification purpose only

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As one of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Disposal exceeds 75%, the Disposal constitutes a very substantial disposal for the Company and is subject to the notification, announcement and shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. Mr. Chan and his associates together had an equity interest of approximately 41.31% in the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, and have indicated that they would vote in favour of the Disposal if and when the Disposal is put forward for the approval by the Shareholders at the SGM.

The purpose of this circular is to give you further information of the Disposal, a valuation report on the Property, other information as required under the Listing Rules and the notice of the SGM at which resolution will be proposed to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Disposal Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereunder.

THE DISPOSAL AGREEMENT

A summary of the principal terms of the Disposal Agreement is as follows:

  1. Date
    28 October 2019
  2. Parties

(a)

Vendors:

Bright Rich and Gain Success

(b)

Vendors' guarantor:

the Company

(c)

Purchaser:

Zhou Luohong

(d)

Target company 1:

Bright Success

(e)

Target company 2:

HQ Company

The Company entered into the Disposal Agreement to guarantee the performance of the obligations of the Vendors thereunder.

3. Assets to be disposed of

Pursuant to the Disposal Agreement, the assets to be disposed of by the Vendors comprise 100% of the equity interest in Bright Success and the related shareholder loans.

Bright Success owns a wholly-owned subsidiary in Mainland China - HQ Company which sole asset is the Property which is located within the Guangdong-MacaoCo-operation Industrial Park in Hengqin New Area. The Property spans from Huandao East Road in the east to Ziqi South Road in the west and from Xiangjiang Road in the south to Haojiang Road in the north. The Property has a site area of approximately 19,939.94 sq. m. and a buildable gross floor area of approximately 49,849.85 sq. m.

- 5 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Property has been designed to become an international food plaza with an intent that most of the units would on completion of its development be rented out, while a small portion of the units would be retained by the Group for self-use. The piling works and about 80% of the foundation works at the Property have been completed while the remaining 20% of the foundation works, which has to be done in line with some early construction works for the superstructure of the building, was suspended for the reasons set out below and has just following the signing of the Disposal Agreement been resumed.

As previously announced, the development progress of the Property has since its acquisition in January 2015 suffered serious delay for various reasons beyond the Group's control including unexpected soft soil treatment, unexpected long processing time for obtaining the approval of the building development and design plan for the Property which took approximately 10 months and suspension of foundation work caused by improper construction work at the adjacent site. The construction work had only been able to resume in January 2017, then got suspended again in March 2017, and resumed in February 2018, and got suspended again in May 2018 for 40 days, while extension for meeting the various development milestones under the Land Contract was granted in November 2017 after an idle land investigation by HQ Land Authority in May 2017. During that period, the economy of Macau has experienced a substantial downturn since 2015 with gradual improvement in 2016, and the economy of Hengqin Island performed much slower than expected. The Group's business has sustained losses since then and has since May 2016 started to review its resources as well as its benefits (both short and long terms), capital commitment, plan and work schedule for the development of the Property with all options and alternatives open for consideration.

Since then, the Group has looked for joint venture partners and undertaken negotiations with different potential buyers though without success. Many potential joint venture partners and potential buyers have indicated that the Property would have better marketability if part of it could be used for commercial serviced apartments. In view of such indication, HQ Company has pursued to apply for a change of the use of the Property to include commercial serviced apartments and suspended its construction work while keeping its ongoing negotiations with potential joint venture partners and buyers.

As previously disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 5 June 2019, the Company's 2019 interim report of 26 August 2019 and the announcement of the Company dated 4 September 2019, HQ Land Authority has issued a letter to HQ Company reminding it to progress with its construction work at the Property on a timely basis to meet the next development milestone of completing the foundation and basement work (建設標高±0.00) by 31 July 2019, failing which HQ Company may face a daily penalty of some RMB0.63 million. It is currently estimated that it would take some 6-9 months to meet such milestone given that the construction work has been delayed for various reasons including but not limited to (a) suspension of construction work for over 40 days from May to June 2018 at the request of HQ Land Authority for improving site safety as previously announced, (b) unexpected long processing time for preparing the invitation for tender for the superstructure of the development project, (c) ongoing negotiation for the disposal of the development project to potential buyer, (d) heavy capital commitment involved in building the superstructure of the development project and difficulty in obtaining construction loan to finance the building of such superstructure under the

- 6 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

current tight capital environment, and (e) current and anticipated weak demand for commercial shop spaces in Hengqin Island in the next few years and hence the likely resulting operational losses after completion of the development project.

To enhance the marketability of the Property, HQ Company has in mid-June 2019 submitted an application to HQ Land Authority seeking for (a) further extension of the remaining development milestones under the Land Contract, and (b) a change of use of some parts of the Property as serviced apartments and/or residential use. Management has in August 2019 held meetings with representatives of HQ Land Authority to discuss such application, during which it has been given to understand that a partial change of the land use of the Property to include commercial serviced apartments falls within the permitted land use right for commercial use, but not to include residential use. In September 2019, HQ Company received a reply letter from HQ Land Authority informing HQ Company that (a) it did not support such application of 18 June 2019; (b) HQ Company has seemingly stopped its construction works and might possibly be in breach of the Land Contract; and (c) HQ Company may face a daily penalty of some RMB0.63 million for any delay to meet the development milestone without good justifications, where any delay due to force majeure or government actions are considered as good justifications under the Land Contract. As of the Latest Practicable Date, HQ Land Authority has not imposed any penalty for delay to meet the development milestone under the Land Contract or any possible breach thereof. Management has since then been revising its application to HQ Land Authority seeking for its support for a partial change of the land use of the Property to include commercial serviced apartments without any residential use, and its related building milestone extension under the Land Contract. Negotiations with potential joint venture partners and buyers have also been ongoing until the Disposal Agreement was signed.

4. Consideration

It has been agreed under the Disposal Agreement that:

  1. the Vendors will sell 100% equity interest in Bright Success together with the related shareholder loans to the Purchaser at the total consideration of RMB300.00 million (approximately HK$329.31 million) in cash;
  2. the Purchaser has paid a deposit of RMB150.00 million (approximately HK$164.66 million) to the Vendors upon signing of the Disposal Agreement; and
  3. the balance of the Consideration will be paid by the Purchaser on completion which shall take place within 6 business days after the Disposal Agreement is approved by the Shareholders at the SGM to be held in accordance with the requirements of the Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

The Consideration was determined after arm's length negotiations between the Vendors and the Purchaser with reference not just to the prevailing property market value of some HK$450.2 million of the Property as at 30 June 2019 but also all the circumstances surrounding the development of the Property as more particularly described under the

- 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

paragraph headed "Reasons for, and benefits of, the Disposal" below. The Vendors and the Company shall bear their respective non-resident income tax of 10% under the Non-Resident Income Tax Rule, while the Purchaser will bear all the stamp duty and other taxes arising out of or in connection with the Disposal.

The Property (in its existing state) was valued at HK$450.20 million (equivalent to approximately RMB396.00 million) as at 30 June 2019 and HK$434.70 million (equivalent to approximately RMB396.00 million) as at 30 September 2019 by JLL, an independent property valuer appointed by the Group. In valuing the Property, JLL has assumed that the Property will be developed and completed in accordance with the latest development proposal provided to JLL by the Group which is to build a 7-storey commercial building with 4-level basement, comprising mainly retail shops, restaurants, exhibition centre and car parking facilities. In arriving at its opinion of value, JLL adopted the market approach by making reference to comparable land sales transactions as available in the relevant market and has also taken into account the accrued construction cost and professional fees relevant to the stage of construction as at the valuation date. JLL has relied on the accrued construction cost and professional fees information provided by the Group according to the stage of construction of the Property as at the valuation date and JLL did not find any material inconsistency from those of other similar developments.

The Purchaser acknowledges that there has been substantial delay in the construction of the Property as mentioned above and agrees to bear any liabilities and penalties (including any delay penalty and idle land penalty) which may be imposed by the relevant authorities in connection with such delay and suspension of construction work pursuant to the terms of the Disposal Agreement. The Vendors shall be responsible for the other liabilities of Bright Success and HQ Company incurred prior to the signing of the Disposal Agreement, which include (i) outstanding professional fees in connection with the construction of the Property, and severance payment to employees of Bright Success and HQ Company all of approximately HK$10 million, and (ii) repayment of the Bank Loan of approximately HK$36.81 million. The Bank Loan shall be fully repaid by the Vendors within 3 days after the Disposal Agreement is approved by the Shareholders at the SGM.

To meet the current development milestone as required under the Land Contract and to avoid any possible further liabilities for delay in meeting such current development milestone, the Vendors and the Purchaser have agreed that, after signing the Disposal Agreement, they will jointly procure HQ Company to continue with the remaining 20% of the foundation work and (if required) the application for the change of use of the Property to include use as serviced apartments, and the Vendors shall make available for use all documents and seals relating to the Property for such purpose. The Purchaser agrees to bear all the costs for the construction work to be carried on at the Property after the signing of the Disposal Agreement. However, if completion of the Disposal Agreement does not take place, the Vendors will have to bear all construction costs incurred after the signing of the Disposal Agreement. The Vendors have deposited with the Purchaser 's lawyer at signing of the Disposal Agreement the originals of all land title documents relating to the Property for their safe keeping, and all these documents shall be returned to the Vendors if the Disposal Agreement is terminated.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

5. Condition precedent

Completion of the Disposal will be conditional on the Disposal being approved by the Shareholders at the SGM to be held in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. If the Shareholders' approval is not obtained within 90 days of signing of the Disposal Agreement (being 28 October 2019), the Disposal Agreement shall be terminated without further liabilities to any parties and the Deposit with interest thereon will be returned to the Purchaser unless the parties agree to extend such 90 days' period. The above condition cannot be waived by either the Vendors or the Purchaser.

6. Completion

Completion of the Disposal will take place within 6 business days after the Disposal is approved by the Shareholders in the manner as mentioned above. If the Company fails to obtain the approval of the Disposal by its Shareholders within 90 days from the date of the Disposal Agreement, the Vendors shall refund the Deposit with interest thereon to the Purchaser and reimburse the Purchaser for expenses paid by him (if any) for the development of the Property, and the parties shall have no further liabilities to each other.

If the Vendors breach or fail to perform their obligations under the Disposal Agreement after signing the Disposal Agreement, the Vendors are required to refund the Deposit with interest thereon and pay a penalty of RMB150.00 million (approximately HK$164.66 million) to the Purchaser, but no penalty shall be payable if the Vendors are unable to perform their obligations under the Disposal Agreement due to (a) the Company failing to obtain the approval of the Shareholders, (b) the occurrence of a force majeure event, (c) a breach of the Disposal Agreement by the Purchaser or (d) government action or requirement of any governmental authority. When the Deposit is required to be refunded, the interest payable thereon shall be calculated from the date on which the Purchaser paid the Deposit until the date of refund, at the rate of 24% per annum. The abovementioned penalty of RMB150.00 million (approximately HK$164.66 million) shall also carry interest at the rate of 24% per annum from the date when it is due and payable to the date of actual payment.

If completion of the Disposal is delayed as a result of the fault or default of the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall pay to the Vendors damages at the rate of 24% per annum on the amount payable to the Vendors under the Disposal Agreement, and if the delay continues for more than 20 days, the Vendors may terminate the Disposal Agreement and the Deposit paid by the Purchaser shall be forfeited by the Vendors without further liabilities on the Vendors.

REASONS FOR, AND BENEFITS OF, THE DISPOSAL

As mentioned above, Macau's economy has since mid 2014 experienced a substantial downward adjustment for over two years with gradual improvement since 2016. The Group has been subject to tough and challenging operating environment recording losses since 2015. The US and China trade dispute and the current civil unrest in Hong Kong have also materially and adversely affected the business performance of the

- 9 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Group. The continuous development of the Property would require heavy capital commitment of no less than RMB600.00 million (approximately HK$658.62 million) from the Group, and the Group has experienced difficulties in obtaining construction loans from banks to finance its continuous development of the Property due to the tight credit control for property development in Mainland China. In addition, as mentioned above, HQ Company may face a daily penalty of some RMB0.63 million for delay to meet the current development milestone under the Land Contract. In view of such circumstances, with its limited capital resources, and the failure of obtaining any construction loans from banks or finding a joint venture partner soon, the Group would have difficulties with continuing with the development of the Property, and has to look for alternate options. As disclosed above, the Group has since 2016 looked for joint venture partners and undertaken negotiations with different potential buyers but all without success. The offer under the Disposal Agreement is the best and most mature offer (in terms of pricing and timing) available so far with terms readily mutually agreed while the other proposals are still at preliminary negotiation stages and mainly involve joint-development of the Property rather than an outright disposal. Therefore, despite that the Consideration of RMB300.00 million (approximately HK$329.31 million) under the Disposal is some 24.24% discount to the valuation of RMB396.00 million (equivalent to approximately HK$434.70 million) as at 30 September 2019, the Directors are of the view that the terms of the Disposal (including the Consideration) are fair and reasonable as the Disposal would, immediately upon its completion, generate substantial cash inflow to the Group and relieve the Group from further capital commitment on the development of the Property. With substantial cash inflow upon completion of the Disposal, the Group would be able to reduce its bank borrowings, and to use such cash inflow to finance its food and catering business. It is the current intention of the Group that it will continue to focus on its existing markets without any plan to tap on the food and catering market of Hengqin Island as the economic growth of Hengqin Island is much slower than expected. If the Group did not enter into the Disposal Agreement now, it may or may not be able to get a better offer in the future.

As the Purchaser has agreed to bear any liabilities and penalties which may be imposed by the relevant authorities in connection with the delay and suspension of the development of the Property under the Disposal Agreement, and taking into account of the difficult circumstances relating to the Property which the Group is currently facing as mentioned above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Disposal Agreement are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL

On completion of the Disposal, Bright Success and HQ Company will cease to be subsidiaries of the Company and the profit and loss and the assets and liabilities of Bright Success and HQ Company will no longer be consolidated into the Group's consolidated financial statements.

The unaudited consolidated total assets and total liabilities of the Group as at 30 June 2019 were approximately HK$2,070.77 million and HK$1,165.72 million respectively. Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Remaining Group as set out in Appendix IV to this circular, assuming completion of the Disposal had taken place on 30

- 10 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

June 2019, the unaudited pro forma consolidated total assets and total liabilities of the Remaining Group would be approximately HK$1,888.99 million and HK$1,085.42 million respectively and the unaudited pro forma consolidated shareholders' fund of the Remaining Group would be approximately HK$803.56 million.

On completion of the Disposal, the Group is expected to record an unaudited estimated gross loss of approximately HK$98.18 million, based on the calculation of the net Consideration of approximately HK$318.79 million (after deducting relevant estimated expenses of approximately HK$10.52 million) minus the followings:

  1. the sale of shareholders' loans of the Vendors of approximately HK$388.42 million as at 30 September 2019;
  2. the Bank Loan of approximately HK$36.81 million as at 30 September 2019; and
  3. the unaudited consolidated net liabilities of Bright Success and HQ Company of approximately HK$8.26 million as at 30 September 2019 (including the accumulated fair value gain after deferred tax of approximately HK$43.26 million from the Property since its acquisition up to 30 September 2019 and the foreign exchange reserve of approximately HK$47.57 million as at 30 September 2019 in relation to Bright Success and HQ Company to be transferred to profit and loss).

However, the above estimated gross loss may be subject to adjustments after completion of the Disposal since the actual amount of the gross gain/loss from the Disposal can only be determined, based on the consolidated financial position of Bright Success and HQ Company as at the completion date of the Disposal.

For the six months ended 30 June 2019, the Group recorded an unaudited consolidated loss of approximately HK$68.77 million. Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Remaining Group as set out in Appendix IV to this circular, assuming completion of the Disposal had taken place on 1 January 2019, the unaudited pro forma consolidated loss of the Remaining Group for the six months ended 30 June 2019 would be approximately HK$204.02 million.

On completion of the Disposal, the Company intends to use the net sale proceeds of some HK$318.79 million from the Disposal as to HK$150.00 million to repay its bank borrowings including the Bank Loan, as to HK$80.00 million to finance opening of new restaurants/shops for its food and catering business and as to the balance of HK$88.79 million for its working capital.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

The Directors confirm that save as disclosed above, there have been no material changes in the indebtedness or contingent liabilities of the Group as at the Latest Practicable Date, and as disclosed in the Letter from the Board above, HQ Company may face a daily penalty of some RMB0.63 million for delay to meet the current development milestone under the Land Contract which might, if so eventually be found to be payable, amount to approximately RMB57.96 million from 1 August to 31 October 2019.

3. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

The Directors confirmed that save as previously announced in (i) the loss alert and business update announcement for the first quarter of 2019 dated 5 June 2019, (ii) the loss alert and business update announcement for the second quarter of 2019 dated 9 August 2019, (iii) the Company's 2019 interim report of 26 August 2019, (iv) the announcement in relation to the Disposal dated 28 October 2019, and (v) the loss alert and business update announcement for the third quarter of 2019 dated 11 November 2019, there was no material adverse change in the financial or trading position of the Group since 31 December 2018 (being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Group have been made up) to the Latest Practicable Date.

4. WORKING CAPITAL STATEMENT

The Directors, after due and careful enquiry, are of the opinion that, after taking into account the financial resources presently available to the Group including the internally generated funds, the currently available facilities and the net sale proceeds from the Disposal, the Group has sufficient working capital for its normal business for at least the next 12 months from the date of this circular.

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE REMAINING GROUP

With the recent trade and currency disputes between United States and China posing threat and uncertainty to the global economy and the current civil unrest in Hong Kong, management expects the operating environment of the Remaining Group in the following few months to be tough and competitive. To cope with such challenging circumstances, the Group's current business strategy remains to be cautious and prudent in opening any new restaurants in the Greater China area, and management is also to tap on overseas distributors to distribute its food souvenir products in the overseas markets.

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE DISPOSAL GROUP

Set out below are the unaudited financial information of the Disposal Group which comprises the unaudited consolidated statements of financial position of the Disposal Group as at 31 December 2016, 2017 and 2018 and 30 June 2019 and the related unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for each of the years ended 31 December 2016, 2017 and 2018 and the six months ended 30 June 2018 and 2019 and certain explanatory notes (altogether referred to as the "Unaudited Financial Information").

The Unaudited Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with Rule 14.68(2)(a)(i) of the Listing Rules and the basis of preparation and presentation as set out in note 2 to the Unaudited Financial Information.

The Unaudited Financial Information is prepared by the Directors solely for the purpose of inclusion in this circular in connection with the proposed disposal of the entire equity interest in Bright Success together with the related shareholders' loans. The Company's auditors, BDO Limited (the "reporting accountants"), were engaged to review the Unaudited Financial Information in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" and with reference to Practice Note 750 "Review of Financial Information under the Hong Kong Listing Rules for a Very Substantial Disposal" issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable the reporting accountants to obtain assurance that the reporting accountants would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, the reporting accountants do not express an audit opinion. The reporting accountants have issued an unmodified review report.

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE DISPOSAL GROUP

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

  1. GENERAL INFORMATION
    Bright Success is a limited liability company incorporated in Macau. The address of its registered office is at 1023 Avenida de Amizade, 2 andar P-V Edf. Nam Fong, Macau. Bright Success is engaged in investment holding.
    Bright Success's immediate holding companies are Bright Rich and Gain Success, which are incorporated in Macau, and the directors of Bright Success consider its ultimate holding company is the Company, a company incorporated in Bermuda and listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange.
    On 28 October 2019, Bright Rich and Gain Success (as vendors), the Company (as vendors' guarantor), Mr. Zhou Luohong (as purchaser), Bright Success and HQ Company, a company wholly owned by Bright Success and incorporated in Mainland China entered into an agreement for sale and purchase, pursuant to which the purchaser agreed, subject to obtaining the approval from the shareholders of the Company, to purchase the entire equity interest in Bright Success together with the related shareholders' loans.
  2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION
    The Unaudited Financial Information of the Disposal Group has been prepared in accordance with Rule 14.68(2)(a)(i) of the Listing Rules and solely for the purpose of inclusion in the circular to be issued by the Company in connection with the Disposal. It does not contain sufficient information to constitute a complete set of financial statements as described in Hong Kong Standard 1 (Revised) "Presentation of Financial Statements" nor a set of condensed financial statements as defined in Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and should be read in connection with the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2018 and the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2019.
    The Unaudited Financial Information of the Disposal Group has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies adopted by the Company as set out in its annual report for the year ended 31 December 2018 and its interim report for the six months ended 30 June 2019.
    The Unaudited Financial Information of the Disposal Group has been prepared under the historical cost basis except for investment property under construction which is measured at fair value. The Unaudited Financial Information is presented in Hong Kong dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (HK$'000) except where otherwise indicated.
    Notwithstanding that the Disposal Group had net current liabilities of approximately HK$408,372,000 as at 30 June 2019, the Company has undertaken to provide continued financial support to enable the Disposal Group to fulfill its financial liabilities when they fall due and accordingly, the Unaudited Financial Information has been prepared by the Directors on the assumption that the Disposal Group can be operated as a going concern.
    Should the Disposal Group be unable to continue in business as a going concern, adjustments would have to be made in the Unaudited Financial Information to write down the values of the assets to their recoverable amounts, to provide for any further liabilities which might arise, and to reclassify non-current assets and non-current liabilities as current assets and current liabilities respectively. The effect of such adjustments has not yet been reflected in the Unaudited Financial Information.

During the six months ended 30 June 2019, the Remaining Group's food souvenir business has contributed some HK$38.5 million turnover, representing about 6.8% of the Remaining Group's turnover. The increase in turnover of the food souvenir business was mainly due to the increase of turnover from the recently opened Yeng Kee bakery shop at Macau International Airport. The food souvenir business was still adversely affected by the high rental expenses and staff costs. As at 30 June 2019, the Remaining Group had 12 Yeng Kee bakery shops/kiosks in Macau (30 June 2018: 12).

  1. Property investment business

During the six months ended 30 June 2019 and 2018, the Remaining Group's 6-storey commercial building in Macau was left vacant and hence without any rental income contribution to the Remaining Group. The Remaining Group's net loss attributable to Remaining Group's property investment business was some HK$26.2 million in the period, as compared to the net profit for the same period of 2018 of HK$14.5 million. Such loss for the period was mainly attributable to a net fair value loss of some HK$21.1 million derived from the Remaining Group's 6-storey commercial building in Macau. As announced, the Remaining Group has as landlord entered into a tenancy agreement with an independent third party as tenant, for a period of 8 years from commencement of the tenant's business or end of the rent free period (whichever is earlier) in respect of the Remaining Group's 6-storey commercial building in Macau including the self-use portion. The entering into of this tenancy agreement would generate rental income to the Remaining Group to enhance the revenue base of the Remaining Group.

The Remaining Group's 6-storey commercial building in Macau was valued at HK$481.0 million as at 30 June 2019 (31 December 2018: HK$505.0 million). During the six months ended 30 June 2019, a gross fair value loss of HK$24.0 million (six months ended 30 June 2018: nil) from the Remaining Group's 6-storey commercial building in Macau was recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

- III-13 -

APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE REMAINING GROUP

  1. a mortgage loan, with 3 tranches in an aggregate amount of approximately HK$222.0 million, pursuant to which two formal loan agreements with the same terms have been entered into. This mortgage loan is interest bearing at 1.8% per annum over HIBOR, repayable within 5-7 years after 3 months from the date of drawdown on the terms and conditions contained therein. As at 30 June 2019, the outstanding loan amount was approximately HK$160.3 million (31 December 2018: HK$167.0 million); and
  2. a mortgage loan in an aggregate amount of approximately HK$97.1 million (equivalent to MOP100.0 million).

The increase in the Remaining Group's gearing ratio as at 30 June 2019 was mainly due to the increase in lease liabilities derived under HKFRS 16 and the decrease in the Remaining Group's total equity. The Remaining Group's ratio of the total assets against the total liabilities of the Remaining Group was as at 30 June 2019 at 2.28 (31 December 2018: 3.76).

  2. The adjustment represents the impact excluding the assets and liabilities of the Disposal Group as at 30 June 2019, assuming the Disposal was completed and the Group's control over the Disposal Group was lost on 30 June 2019; and the consequential impact on the Remaining Group's equity and the estimated financial position when the Disposal was completed on 30 June 2019.
    The assets and liabilities of the Disposal Group attributable to the Group have been presented as assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale presented in the unaudited consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2019.
    The cash consideration received from the completion of the Disposal amounted to RMB300,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$341,025,000). The adjustment reflects the estimated loss on the disposal of the Disposal Group before income tax of approximately HK$136,841,000.

PROPERTY VALUATION

The following is the text of a letter and valuation certificate, prepared for the purpose of incorporation in this circular received from Jones Lang LaSalle Corporate Appraisal and Advisory Limited, an independent valuer, in connection with its valuation as at 30 September 2019 of the property interest to be disposed of by the Group.

The Board of Directors

Future Bright Holdings Limited

Room 1409, West Tower,

Shun Tak Centre,

200 Connaught Road Central,

Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

In accordance with your instructions to value the property interest to be disposed of by Future Bright Holdings Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (hereinafter together referred to as the "Group") in the PRC, we confirm that we have carried out external inspections, made relevant enquiries and searches and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market value of the property interest as at 30 September 2019 (the "valuation date").

Our valuation is carried out on a market value basis. Market value is defined as "the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's length transaction after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion".

In valuing the property under development, we have assumed that it will be developed and completed in accordance with the latest development proposal provided to us by the Group. In arriving at our opinion of value, we have adopted the market approach by making reference to comparable land sales transactions as available in the relevant market and have also make reference to the accrued construction cost and professional fees relevant to the stage of construction as at the valuation date. We have relied on the accrued construction cost and professional fees information provided by the Group according to the different stages of construction of the subject property as at the valuation date and we did not find any material inconsistency from those of other similar developments.

Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the seller sells the property interest in the market without the benefit of a deferred term contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement, which could serve to affect the value of the property interest.

- V-1 -

APPENDIX V

PROPERTY VALUATION

No allowance has been made in our report for any charge, mortgage or amount owing on any of the property interest valued nor for any expense or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the property is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature, which could affect its value.

In valuing the property interest, we have complied with all requirements contained in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited; the RICS Valuation - Professional Standards published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors; the HKIS Valuation Standards published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors; and the International Valuation Standards published by the International Valuation Standards Council.

We have relied to a very considerable extent on the information given by the Group and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as tenure, planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, particulars of occupancy, lettings, and other relevant matters.

We have been shown copies of various title documents including Real Estate Title Certificate, official plans and other documents relating to the property interests and have made relevant enquiries. Where possible, we have examined the original documents to verify the existing title to the property interests in the PRC and any material encumbrance that might be attached to the property interests. We have relied considerably on the advice given by the Company's PRC legal advisers - Wang Jing & Co., concerning the validity of the property interests in the PRC.

We have not carried out detailed measurements to verify the correctness of the areas in respect of the property but have assumed that the areas shown on the title documents and official site plans handed to us are correct. All documents and contracts have been used as reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximations. No on-site measurement has been taken.

The site inspection was carried out on 6 November 2019 by Mr. Kevin Chu. Mr. Kevin Chu is a member of RICS and HKIS and has 20 years' experience in the valuation of properties in HK and the PRC. However, we have not carried out investigation to determine the suitability of the ground conditions and services for any development thereon. Our valuation has been prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory. Moreover, no structural survey has been made, but, in the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defect. We are not, however, able to report whether the property is free of rot, infestation or any other structural defect. No tests were carried out on any of the services.

We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Group. We have also sought confirmation from the Group that no material factors have been omitted from the information supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to arrive at an informed view, and we have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld.

- V-2 -

APPENDIX V

PROPERTY VALUATION

All monetary figures stated in this report are in Renminbi (RMB). The exchange rate adopted in our valuation is approximately RMB1.00 = HK$1.0977 which was approximately the prevailing exchange rate as at the valuation date.

As advised by the Company, there is potential tax liability which would arise if the property interests were to be sold. Under the Disposal Agreement, the Vendors and the Company shall bear their respective non-resident income tax of 10% under the Non-Resident Income Tax Rule, while the Purchaser will bear all the stamp duty and other taxes arising out of or in connection with the Disposal.

Our valuation certificate is attached.

Yours faithfully,

for and on behalf of

Jones Lang LaSalle Corporate Appraisal and Advisory Limited

use portion shall be equal to or less than 86% and exhibition use portion shall be equal to or more than 14%. The land tenure is 40 years commencing from the date on or before 28 November 2014.

  1. Pursuant to a Hengqin New Area State-owned Construction Land Use Rights Grant Modification Contract (橫琴新區國有建設用地使用權出讓變更合同) - No. 4404401-2014-000033 dated 12 January 2015, the grantee of the land use rights of the property was modified to HQ Company which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bright Success. As advised, the land premium of RMB209,369,370 for the Hengqin New Area State-owned Construction Land Use Rights Grant Modification Contract (橫琴新區國有建設用地使 用權出讓變更合同) has been fully paid by the Group on 30 June 2015.
  2. Pursuant to the Land Grant, the grantee shall on or before 28 November 2015 obtain the Foundation Work Permit (樁基工程施工許可證) and start the construction, and shall on or before 28 November 2016 obtain the Structural Construction Permit (主體工程施工許可證), and shall on or before 28 November 2017 complete the construction work and the whole development shall on or before 28 November 2018 be completed (驗收竣工).
  3. Pursuant to a Construction Land Use Planning Permit (建設用地規劃許可證) - Zhu Heng Xin Gui Tu (Di Gui) [2015] No.13 dated 5 March 2015, in favour of HQ Company, the construction of a building with a maximum Plot Ratio GFA of approximately 49,849.85 sq.m. has been approved for construction on the land of the property.
  4. Pursuant to a Construction Land Approval (建設用地批准書) - Zhu Heng Xin Gui Tu (Di Zhun) [2015] No. 12 dated 18 May 2015 in favour of HQ Company, permission by the relevant local authority has been given to commence the construction between May 2015 and May 2017.
  5. As advised by the Company and according to various letters between the Planning and Land Bureau of the Administrative Committee of Zhuhai Hengqin New Area (珠海市橫琴新區管理委員會規劃國土局) (the "Committee") dated 15 October 2015, 5 July 2016 and 19 July 2016, HQ Company is progressing with the proposed development. The approval for the Building Development and Design Plan (規劃設計方案) has finally been obtained in October 2015 and soft soil foundation treatment work has been completed. In October 2015, HQ Company has, in accordance with Clause No. 18 of the Land Grant, applied for an extension of time on certain development milestones contained in it, based on the reasons beyond its control. In July 2016, the Committee has sent a preliminary reply letter to HQ Company regarding to the extension request alleging of a possible breach by HQ Company, under the Land Grant due to the failure to obtain Foundation Work Permit (樁基工程施工許可證) by its first development milestone by 28 November 2015. The Committee has also requested HQ Company to make a further submission to address such delay. A failure to meet any development milestones contained in the Land Grant may be a breach of the contract with a daily penalty of RMB628,108.11 unless such failure to meet any development milestone is caused by force majeure or government reasons. HQ Company has already made further submission, as so requested, to the Committee to deny any possible breach of the Land Grant since such delay has been due to many reasons beyond its control (force majeure and others). The Foundation Work Drawing Plan (樁基工程施工設工圖) has already been submitted and approved on 17 January 2017.
  6. According to Clause No. 34 and 36 of the Land Grant, any violation of Clause No. 18 of the Land Grant would be subject to penalty and the Committee reserves the right to repossess the land for the delay of development milestones over 180 days but return 90% of the land premium to the land use right holder. In our valuation, we have assumed HQ Company will continue to possess the legal title of the Property and no account has been taken for any penalty and associated charges in relation to violation of any terms of the Land Grant.
  7. Pursuant to a Construction Work Planning Permit (建設工程規劃許可證) - Zhu Heng Xin Gui Tu (Jian) [2016] No. 073 dated 14 September 2016 in favour of HQ Company, the proposed construction work planning of the proposed development with a total gross floor area of approximately 89,251.71 sq.m. complies with the relevant requirement and has been approved by the Committee.
  8. Pursuant to a notice of idle land investigation (閒置土地調查通知書) - Zhu Heng Xin Gui Tu Notice [2016] No. 68 dated 7 December 2016, the Committee would carry out an investigation to ascertain if there is a failure of HQ Company to commence its development construction works for more than one year after the development milestone, the subject site may become an idle land. A defence submission document dated 18 January 2017 was prepared by HQ Company to rebut the idle land allegation.

An application document dated 23 May 2017 was submitted by HQ Company with an initial proposal to seek the signing of a supplemental agreement for an extension of the development milestones of the Land Grant. A partial suspension of the construction works on the subject site has been requested in order to ensure the safety of the foundation of the adjoining development site known as 金源國際廣場 項目.
  3. Pursuant to a Supplemental Agreement of Hengqin New Area State-owned Construction Land Use Rights Grant Contract (橫琴新區國有建設用地使用權出讓合同補充協議) - No. 440401-2014-000033-2 dated 24 November 2017 between The State Land and Resources Bureau of Zhuhai and HQ Company, The State Land and Resources Bureau of Zhuhai shall exonerate HQ Company from all liabilities arising from its failure to meet the original development milestones of its Land Grant of 12 January 2015, and HQ Company shall agree to meet the extended remaining development milestones thereof with (i) the completion of the foundation and basement works (建設標高±0.00) by 31 July 2018, (ii) the completion of the building works to the top floors by 31 July 2019, and (iii) the completion of the entire building works by 31 July 2020. A failure to meet any development milestones contained in the Supplemental Agreement of Hengqin New Area State-owned Construction Land Use Rights Grant Contract may be a breach of the contract with a daily penalty of 0.3% of the Land premium per day, that is RMB628,108.11.
  4. Pursuant to a letter from the Committee dated 28 May 2018, the development milestones as mentioned in Supplemental Agreement of Hengqin New Area State-owned Construction Land Use Rights Grant Contract dated 24 November 2017 has been further extended as (i) the completion of the foundation and basement works (建設標高±0.00) by 31 July 2019, (ii) the completion of the building works to the top floors by 31 July 2020, and (iii) the completion of the entire building works by 31 July 2021.
  5. We have been provided with a legal opinion regarding the property interest by the Company's PRC legal advisers "Wang Jing & Co." of 6 November 2019, which contains, inter alia, the following:
    1. If HQ Company's defenses are not entirely accepted by The State Land and Resources Bureau of Zhuhai for the failure to meet the milestones with the completion of the foundation and basement works (建設標高±0.00) by 31 July 2019, the Bureau could as per the "Supplemental Agreement of Hengqin New Area State-owned Construction Land Use Rights Grant Contract" calculate penalty at 0.3% of the land premium for each day of delay starting from 1 August 2019. However, the HQ Company has right to file an objection by applying for a hearing, filing and administrative review and an administrative lawsuit;
    2. If the construction of the property is deemed to be suspended since July 2018, the land may be re-identified as idle land. The construction commencement date of the property has been extended for one year period and application for change of land use and planning conditions has not yet been approved. There is a risk that idle land penalty would be charged by the Planning and Land Bureau of Hengqin New Area;
    3. Pursuant to the Article 31 of Zhuhai Measures Regarding Idle Land, the annual land idle penalty is calculated at 20% of land premium, that is RMB41,873,874 per year. If the Planning and Land Bureau of Hengqin New Area charge idle land penalty to HQ Company instead of taking re-possession of the subject site, the aggregated amount of penalty, calculated by RMB41,873,874 per year from 28 November 2016 to 28 November 2019, is RMB125,621,622;

The comparables under our selection criteria should be vacant site located on the new development zone of Hengqin which are transacted within 2 years of the valuation date and the land is designated for commercial use under land grant document. These selected comparables are general land with commercial use in Hengqin, which were transacted between 2017 and 2019. The unit price of these comparables range from RMB3,800/sq.m. to RMB6,570/sq.m. on Accommodation Value basis. Appropriate adjustments and analysis are considered to the differences in location, size, time and other characteristics between the comparable properties and the subject land to arrive at the assumed average unit rate of RMB5,000/sq.m. on Accommodation Value basis for the subject land with maximum plot ratio GFA of 49,849.85 sq.m. Accommodation value is defined as the land value divided by the GFA which is allowed to be built on the land. The general basis of adjustment is that if the comparable property is better than the property, a downward adjustment is made. Alternatively, if the comparable property is inferior or less desirable than the property, an upward adjustment is made. Regarding to time adjustment, the market condition at the transaction date is considered.
