The total amount payable for the Target Company Acquisition is RMB1,650 million, comprising the Target Company Acquisition Consideration of RMB1,196,998,491.87, the consideration of the Kunlun Debt of RMB304,657,271.23 and certain assumed liability of the Target Company of RMB148,354,236.90. Such total amount payable was determined after arm's length negotiation among the Purchaser, Yihe Real Estate, the Huahong Parties, the Target Company, the Guarantors and Hangzhou Hongyuyuan LLP on normal commercial terms with reference to:

(i) the major assets owned by the Target Company, namely the Yihe Project, of which the total asset value (including the Yihe Land and the properties that were under construction thereon) was approximately RMB0.36 billion as per the unaudited financial position of the Target Company as at 31 May 2020 and approximately RMB2.19 billion as per the valuation report issued by an independent valuer as at 19 June 2020;

Funding Arrangement and Financial Effect of the Target Company Acquisition

In order to facilitate the Target Company Acquisition, the Group financed RMB500 million from its internal resources and obtained funding of RMB1,150 million from the Asset Management Parties via Hangzhou Hongyuyuan LLP. The funding for the Target Company Acquisition shall be used in the following manner:

(i) RMB350 million of the Group's internal resources and RMB846,998,491.87 of the funding provided by the Asset Management Parties, respectively, shall be used to settle the Target Company Acquisition Consideration;

(iii) the remaining RMB148,354,236.90 of the funding provided by the Asset

Management Parties shall be used for settlement of certain assumed liability of the Target Company.

Based on the Group's experience, commercial banks generally do not provide funding to facilitate distressed assets acquisition. As such, the Group approached asset management corporations and trust companies to explore financing and funding arrangement. The Group decided to obtain funding from the Asset Management Parties due to the reasons as follows:

(i) the Asset Management Parties are state-owned enterprises ()

incorporated in the PRC which are well-established and experienced in dealing with distressed assets;

  • (ii) the Group had previously obtained funding from the Asset Management Parties for acquisition of another company which was under financial difficulties;

  • (iii) the annualised rate of return at 11.5% offered by the Asset Management Parties is at the lower end of the range of interest rates normally offered by asset management corporations and trust companies which are in the range of 11% to 15%; and

  • (iv) the approval process for the obtaining of funds from the Asset Management Parties is relatively faster as the funding application can be passed directly to the headquarters of the Asset Management Parties which are located in Zhejiang Province of the PRC, while the headquarters of other asset management corporations and trust companies that are experienced in funding distressed assets acquisition are located in the other cities.

With regard to the RMB1,150 million provided by the Asset Management Parties via Hangzhou Hongyuyuan LLP, the Group shall pay a return on such RMB1,150 million at an annualised rate of return at 11.5% every three months. The amount of RMB1,150 million together with all returns accrued thereon due and payable shall be repaid by the Group to the Asset Management Parties on or before 3 September 2023.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Target Company Acquisition has been completed. The Target Company has become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and its financial results has been consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

The aggregate of the remuneration payable to and benefits in kind receivable by the Directors will not be varied in consequence of the Target Company Acquisition.

Reasons for and Benefits of the Target Company Acquisition

The Target Project is located in Qingshan Lake Technology Town* () of the Lin'an District* () which is currently one of the core developing areas in the Lin'an District* () and is currently under the town planning with an aim of having the elements of research and development, industrialisation and modern and comprehensive life services support integrated in the community. The location of the Target Project is approximately 6.5 kilometres away from the Lin'an District Government buildings and approximately 1.1 kilometres away from the Hanglin Chengji Babaili Station* (), a railway station for interchanging other railway lines to the Hangzhou downtown area. The Target Project is also surrounded by beautiful scenery of mountains and the Qingshan Lake* ().

As such, the Board is of the view that the Target Company Acquisition can expand the Group's land reserve and its existing business in developing quality residential properties in the Yangtze River Delta Megalopolis, hence would exert its strength, further enhance its presence and influence in the Yangtze River Delta Megalopolis, and bring in more investment return for the Shareholders.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) considered that the Target Company Acquisition is carried out on normal commercial terms, which are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Group's Development Plan of the Target Land

Undeveloped Area of the Target Land

The market demand for residential properties in the Lin'an District has been consistently strong for the past five years as the average annual turnover in the past five years amounted to approximately 131 million sq.m. The Qingshan Lake Technology Town in which the Target Land is located ranks the first in the Lin'an District in terms of residential properties turnover rate.

The Group believes that given the high demand for small to medium size residential properties in the Qingshan Lake Technology Town, there is a market opportunity for high-rise residential units and high-end low-rise residential units as they are relatively rarer in the market. Therefore, the Group intends to develop various types of such aforementioned quality residential properties to capture the market opportunity. Besides, the Group also plans to develop commercial properties to capture the potential demand that could be brought by Lin'an District's town planning which is aimed to integrate the elements of research and development, industrialisation and modern and comprehensive life services support into the community.

The Group plans to invest approximately RMB4 billion in total for the development of the undeveloped area of the Target Land. Such total investment amount is mainly for settlement of the Target Company Acquisition Consideration and payment of theconstruction costs, management fees, marketing expenses and other administrative expenses in relation to the development of the undeveloped area of the Target Land and the sale of properties to be built thereon.

The undeveloped area of the Target Land is divided into five plots, namely A2, B1, B2, C and D. Set forth below is the types of properties the Group plans to develop thereon:

Having regard to the terms and conditions of the Equity Transaction Agreement, the Project Company Acquisition Consideration of RMB752,087,000, the Transaction Service Fee of RMB4,708,600 and the Supplemental Land Fee of RMB89,797,000 shall be borne by Wuxi Yinzetao and Wuxi Huayu in the following manners specifically:

(i) RMB72,208,700 (being the earnest money paid by Wuxi Huayu) shall be applied as part of the Project Company Acquisition Consideration;

  • (ii) RMB158,126,000 (being 30% of the Project Company Acquisition Consideration minus the earnest money of RMB72,208,700 plus the Transaction Service Fee of RMB4,708,600) has been paid by Wuxi Huayu to Wuxi Shanshui on 16 November 2020;

  • (iii) RMB150,417,400 (being 20% of the Project Company Acquisition Consideration) shall be provided by Wuxi Yinzetao, directly or indirectly through Wuxi Yinzexuan, to the bank account of Wuxi Huayu upon signing of the Cooperation Agreement;

(iv) RMB89,797,000 (being the Supplemental Land Fee) shall be provided by Wuxi

Given that Wuxi Yinzetao shall hold majority of the voting rights in Wuxi Yinzexuan pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, Wuxi Yinzetao shall use its best endeavours to procure the Project Company to obtain sufficient project and land financings from third parties in order to ensure that the Project Company shall settle 50% of the Project Company Acquisition Consideration by 31 May 2021.

The appraised total asset value of the Project Company as at 30 June 2020 was approximately RMB745,757,300, which comprises value of inventories (i.e. the Project Land) and cash and cash equivalents of approximately RMB710,107,600 and RMB35,649,700, respectively. If the Project Land has to be provided by the ProjectCompany to banks and/or other financial institutions as security for obtaining loans of RMB376,043,500, the loan-to-value ratio will be approximately 53% based on the value of the Project Land as determined by an independent valuer. The Group considers that the collateral to be provided by the Project Company, if required, shall be able to obtain loans of RMB376,043,500 from banks and/or financial institutions to settle the relevant portion of the Project Company Acquisition Consideration.

In the event that the funds made available by the Project Company is insufficient to settle such RMB376,043,500 and Wuxi Yinzetao shall settle the shortfall for and on behalf of the Project Company, such shortfall to be settled by Wuxi Yinzetao shall be provided to the Project Company as an interest-bearing loan with the interest rate being 8% per annum. Such loan amount shall be repaid by the Project Company to Wuxi Yinzetao using its surplus funds. In the event that there is no surplus funds in the Project Company, Wuxi Yinzetao shall bear half of the loan amount (which is equivalent to the percentage of equity interest it indirectly holds in the Project Company) while Wuxi Huayu shall repay the other half of the loan amount (which is equivalent to the percentage of equity interest it indirectly holds in the Project Company) to Wuxi Yinzetao on or before 30 September 2023.

Besides, as the formation of Wuxi Yinzexuan was intended for the acquisition of the Project Company for the Group to develop the Project Land with Wuxi Huayu, the required capital injection of RMB150,000,000 by each of Wuxi Yinzetao and Wuxi Huayu to Wuxi Yinzexuan shall be used for settlement of certain portion of the Project Company Acquisition Consideration and Transaction Service Fee.

The settlement of RMB230,334,700 and RMB150,417,400 were made to Wuxi Shanshui by Wuxi Huayu and Wuxi Yinzetao, respectively, on behalf of Wuxi Yinzexuan. For simplicity purpose, it is agreed among Wuxi Yinzexuan, Wuxi Yinzetao and Wuxi Huayu that upon the Transfer and settlement of RMB150,417,400 to Wuxi Shanshui by Wuxi Yinzetao on behalf of Wuxi Yinzexuan, Wuxi Yinzetao and Wuxi Huayu shall be deemed to have contributed their respective committed registered capital in Wuxi Yinzexuan. Any exceeded portion paid by Wuxi Yinzetao and Wuxi Huayu shall be considered as the provision of shareholder's loan to Wuxi Yinzexuan.

Accordingly, Wuxi Yinzetao and Wuxi Huayu are not required to make further capital injection to Wuxi Yinzexuan in respect of the registered capital of RMB300,000,000 under the relevant laws of the PRC.

Wuxi Yinzetao and Wuxi Huayu further agreed that:

(i) if the funds provided by any Party for the settlement of the Project Company

Acquisition Consideration, the Transaction Service Fee and/or the Supplemental Land Fee exceeds the portion which is equivalent to the percentage of equity interest such Party holds in Wuxi Yinzexuan, such excess amount paid shall be considered as an interest-bearing loan provided to the other Party with the interest rate being 8% per annum; and

(ii) any shareholders' loans provided to the Project Company throughout the development of the Project Land shall bear an interest rate of 8% per annum, calculated from the date of provision of such loans.

In light of the above, Wuxi Yinzetao and Wuxi Huayu shall be responsible for settlement of the Project Company Acquisition Consideration, the Transaction Service Fee and the Supplemental Land Fee in accordance with the percentage of equity interest they hold in the Project Company.

The Total Commitment was determined after arm's length negotiations after having taken into account the amount and payment terms of (i) the Project Company Acquisition Consideration of RMB752,087,000 which was determined based on the appraised value of the Tender Subject of approximately RMB722,087,000 as at 30 June 2020 plus the tender premium* () of RMB30,000,000; and (ii) the Supplemental Land Fee of RMB89,797,000 payable to the relevant government authority for adjustment of the floor area ratio of the Project Land from 2.5 to up to 2.7.

2. INDEBTEDNESS STATEMENT

As at the close of business on 31 December 2020, being the latest practicable date for the purpose of this indebtedness statement prior to the printing of this circular, the Group had (i) outstanding senior notes of approximately RMB2,218.5 million; (ii) bank and other borrowings of approximately RMB11,792 million, comprising secured and guaranteed bank loans and other secured loans of approximately RMB9,734.9 million, and approximately RMB2,057.1 million, respectively; (iii) unsecured and unguaranteed loans of approximately RMB568.5 million; and (iv) current and non-current lease liabilities of approximately RMB3.5 million and RMB4.0 million, respectively.

As at 31 December 2020, certain of the Group's secured borrowings were secured by the pledges of the asset portfolio which includes investment properties, right-of-use assets, properties under development and completed properties held for sale.

Contingent liabilities

The Group provides mortgage guarantees to banks in respect of the mortgage loans they provided to the Group's customers in order to secure the repayment obligations of such customers. The mortgage guarantees are issued from the date of grant of the relevant mortgage loans and released upon the earlier of (i) the transfer of the relevant real estate ownership certificates to the customers, or (ii) the settlement of mortgage loans by the customers. If a customer defaults on the mortgage loan, the Group is typically required to repurchase the underlying property by paying off the mortgage loan. If it fails to do so, the mortgagee banks will auction the underlying property and recover the balance from the Group if the outstanding loan amount exceeds the net foreclosure sale proceeds.

The Group provided guarantees in respect of mortgage facilities granted by certain banks to the customers of its completed properties held for sale. Pursuant to the terms of the guarantee arrangements, in case of default on mortgage payments by the customers, the Group is responsible to repay the outstanding mortgage principals together with any accrued interest and penalties owed by the defaulted purchasers to those banks. Under the above arrangement, the related properties were pledged to the banks as collaterals for the mortgage loans, upon default on mortgage repayments by these customers, the banks are entitled to take over the legal titles and will realise the pledged properties through open auction. The Group's guarantee period starts from the dates of grant of the relevant mortgage loans and ends upon the issuance and registration of property ownership certificates to the purchasers, which will generally be available within one to two years after the customers take possession of the relevant properties.

As at 31 December 2020, the material contingent liabilities incurred for the Group's provision of guarantees to financial institutions in respect of the mortgage loans they provided to the Group's customers were approximately RMB5,323.7 million.

As at 31 December 2020, the material contingent liabilities incurred for the Group's provision of guarantees to banks and other institutions in connection with financial facilities granted to the related companies were approximately RMB2,435 million.

The Group may be involved in lawsuits and other proceedings in its ordinary course of business from time to time. The Group believes that no liabilities resulting from these proceedings will have a material and adverse effect on its business, financial condition or operating results. Save as disclosed in this circular, the Group had no other material contingent liabilities.

Save for the aforesaid or as otherwise disclosed herein, and apart from the intra-group liabilities and normal trade payables in the ordinary course of the business of the Group, at the close of business on 31 December 2020, the Group did not have any (i) debt securities issued and outstanding, and authorised or otherwise created but unissued; (ii) term loans, distinguishing between guaranteed, unguaranteed, secured (whether the security is provided by the Company or by third parties) and unsecured; (iii) other borrowings or indebtedness in the nature of borrowing including bank overdrafts and liabilities under acceptances (other than normal trade bills) or acceptance credits or hirepurchase commitments, distinguishing between guaranteed, unguaranteed, secured and unsecured borrowings and debt; (iv) any outstanding mortgages or charges; or (v) any material contingent liabilities or guarantees.

3. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors confirmed that there has not been any material adverse change in the financial or trading position or outlook of the Group since 31 December 2019, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Group were made up.

4. WORKING CAPITAL

The Directors are of the opinion that, taking into account the financial resources available to the Group including the internally generated funds and the present available bank facilities, and taking into account the impact of the Target Company Acquisition and the Transactions, the Group will have sufficient working capital for its requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of this circular.

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

The Group is an established property developer in the PRC focusing on developing quality residential properties in the Yangtze River Delta Megalopolis for customers of all ages. With over 18 years of real estate development experience in the Yangtze River Delta Megalopolis, the Group has always adhered to the development strategy of ''based in Nanjing, cultivate the Yangtze River Delta and radiate the urban area''. As at 30 June 2020, the business of the Group covered 46 projects in ten cities in the PRC, including Nanjing, Wuxi, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Taizhou, Xuzhou, Wenzhou, Hefei, Zhenjiang and Ma'anshan, and the Group had a land bank with an aggregate estimated gross floor area of over 5.5 million sq.m., out of which the land bank with interests attributable to the Group amounted to approximately 4.3 million sq.m.

Throughout the recent years, the Group has been actively searching for mergers and acquisitions and city-industry integration opportunities in the megalopolis. As stated in the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2020 published on 25 September 2020, in terms of land bank, the Group aims to continue its expansion in the Yangtze River Delta Megalopolis. In particular, the Group has recently made its first foray into Wenzhou and Changshu (a county-level city hosted by Suzhou City), which was a further step of its entry into the five regional markets of Nanjing, Southern Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huaihai and Anhui.

The Group believes that the Target Company Acquisition and the Transactions can help to increase the Group's land reserve and strengthen its presence in Hangzhou, Wuxi and the Yangtze River Delta Megalopolis in general, which is consistent with the Group's expansion strategy and would put the Group in an advantageous position to capture the potential growth of the property market in the region. Furthermore, by increasing the depth of the Group's land bank, it will provide the Group with more options when it follow through with its expansion plan. The Group aims to leverage on its strong reputation and market foundation to take onmore small and medium-sized development projects with great development potential and large-scale development projects through the rapid turnaround model. The Target Company Acquisition and the Transactions would therefore not only enhance the Group's strategic strengths and brand advantages in the region, but also bring more fruitful returns to the Shareholders and employees in the long run.

The Group responded proactively to COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the Group's performance during the year of 2019 and 2020 by adjusting its project launch schedule and adopting ''cloud property viewing'', ''cloud sales'' and ''cloud delivery'' through online live broadcasting and small application of the new media. Through such approach, the Group could develop its online customer base and undergo digital transformation at the same time. It is expected that such effort could be transformed into offline purchasing power in the long term.

In light of the current guiding principle of ''no speculation of residential properties'' in the real estate industry in the PRC, gradual alleviation of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, recovery of the domestic economy and increase in demand for property purchase, the Group remains cautiously optimistic about the property sales market for the near future. Nonetheless, the Group is determined to enhance its capabilities in all aspects according to its long-term development strategies, and shall continue to strive with the goal of becoming a leading real estate enterprise and generating more fruitful returns for the Shareholders.

Dear Sirs,

We report on the historical financial information of Hangzhou Qingcheng Property Development Co., Ltd (, the ''Target Company'') set out on pages II-4 to II-41, which comprises the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows of the Target Company for each of the years ended 31 December 2017, 2018 and 2019, and the nine months ended 30 September 2020 (the ''Relevant Periods''), and the statements of financial position of the Target Company as at 31 December 2017, 2018 and 2019 and 30 September 2020 and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (the ''Historical Financial Information''). The Historical Financial Information set out on pages II-4 to II-41 forms an integral part of this report, which has been prepared for inclusion in the circular of Yincheng International Holding Co., Ltd. dated 26 February 2021 (the ''Circular'' ) in connection with the acquisition by Hangzhou Zezhou Enterprise Management Co. (), a subsidiary of the Company, of the entire equity interests in the Target Company.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The directors of the Target Company are responsible for the preparation of the Historical Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in Note 2.1 to the Historical Financial Information, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the Historical Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS' RESPONSIBILITY

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Historical Financial Information and to report our opinion to you. We conducted our work in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Investment Circular Reporting Engagements 200 Accountants' Reports on Historical Financial Information in Investment Circulars issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (''HKICPA''). This standard requires that we comply with ethical standards and plan and perform our work to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Historical Financial Information is free from material misstatement.

Our work involved performing procedures to obtain evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Financial Information. The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants' judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the Historical Financial Information, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the reporting accountants consider internal control relevant to the entity's preparation of the Historical Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in Note 2.1 to the Historical Financial Information, respectively, in order to design procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Our work also included evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical Financial Information.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

OPINION

In our opinion, the Historical Financial Information gives, for the purposes of the accountants' report, a true and fair view of the financial position of the Target Company as at 31 December 2017, 2018 and 2019 and 30 September 2020 and of the financial performance and cash flows of the Target Company for each of the Relevant Periods in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in Note 2.1 to the Historical Financial Information.

REVIEW OF INTERIM COMPARATIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

We have reviewed the interim comparative financial information of the Target Company which comprises the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the nine months ended 30 September 2019 and other explanatory information (the ''Interim Comparative Financial Information''). The directors of the Target Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Interim Comparative Financial Information in accordance with the basis of presentation and the basis of preparation and presentation set out in Note 2.1 to the Historical Financial Information, respectively. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Interim Comparative Financial Information based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by theHKICPA. A review consists of making inquiries, 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 Hong Kong 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. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Interim Comparative Financial Information, for the purposes of the accountants' report, is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of presentation and preparation set out in Note 2.1 to the Historical Financial Information.

ADJUSTMENTS

In preparing the Historical Financial Information, no adjustments to the Underlying Financial Statements as defined on page II-4 have been made.

DIVIDENDS

We refer to note 12 to the Historical Financial Information which states that no dividends have been paid by the Target Company in respect of the Relevant Periods.

Yours faithfully,

IINOTES TO THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1.

CORPORATE INFORMATION

Hangzhou Qingcheng Property Development Co., Ltd. (, the ''TargetCompany'') was established in the People's Republic of China (the ''PRC'') with limited liability. The registered office of the Target Company is located at Qingshan Minzhu Village, Lin'an Street, Hangzhou, Zhejiang ProvinceAs at 30 September 2020, the Target Company's shareholder was Hangzhou Zezhou Enterprise Management Co. (), which holds 100% equity interests of the Target Company.

2.1

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with International Financial ReportingStandards (''IFRSs'') which comprise all standards and interpretations approved by the International Accounting Standards Board (the ''IASB''). All IFRSs effective for the accounting period commencing from 1 January 2019 and 1 January 2020, together with the relevant transitional provisions, have been early adopted by the Target Company in the preparation of the Historical Financial Information throughout the Relevant Periods and in the period covered by the Interim Comparative Financial Information.

The Historical Financial Information are presented on a going concern basis.

The Target Company was in a loss-making position in year 2017, 2018 and 2019, with a net current liabilities position of RMB558 million and a net deficits position of RMB553 million as of 30 September 2020. In September 2020, the Target Company was acquired by Yincheng International Holding Co., Ltd. (''Yincheng International'' ),a Hong Kong listed company. After acquisition, Yincheng International will provide financing to the Target Company to settle the liabilities and to complete the development of the project. According to the cash flow forecast prepared by management of the Target Company, net cash inflow from operating activities will be generated in the next 12 months since 30 September 2020. Therefore, management is of the opinion that it is appropriate to prepare Historical Financial Information on a going concern basis.

The historical financial information is presented in Renminbi (''RMB'') and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.

The Historical Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The management of the Target Company anticipates that the application of the new and revised IFRSs will have no material impact on the Target Company's financial position and financial performance in the foreseeable future.

2.3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Fair value measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Target Company. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Target Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 - based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 - based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is observable, either directly or indirectly

Level 3

- based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the Historical Financial Information on a recurring basis, the Target Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each of the Relevant Periods.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Where an indication of impairment exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required (other than financial assets), the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of the asset's or cash-generating unit's value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal, and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

An impairment loss is recognised only if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. 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. An impairment loss is charged to profit or loss in the period in which it arises in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

An assessment is made at the end of each of the Relevant Periods as to whether there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss of an asset other than goodwill is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount of that asset, but not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any depreciation/amortisation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of such an impairment loss is credited to profit or loss in the period in which it arises (only if there are revalued assets in the financial statements), unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is accounted for in accordance with the relevant accounting policy for that revalued asset.

(a) the party is a person or a close member of that person's family and that person

  • (i) has control or joint control over the Target Company;

  • (ii) has significant influence over the Target Company; or

  • (iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the Target Company or of a parent of the Target Company;

or

(b) the party is an entity where any of the following conditions applies:

  • (i) the entity and the Target Company are members of the same Group;

  • (ii) one entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or of a parent, subsidiary or fellow subsidiary of the other entity);

  • (iii) the entity and the Target Company 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 Target Company or an entity related to the Target Company;

  • (vi) the entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a);

  • (vii) a person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity); and

  • (viii) the entity, or any member of a Target Company of which it is a part, provides key management personnel services to Target Company or to the parent of the Target Company.

Property, plant and equipment and depreciation

Property, plant and equipment, other than construction in progress, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use.

Expenditure incurred after items of property, plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, is normally charged to profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred. In situations where the recognition criteria are satisfied, the expenditure for a major inspection is capitalised in the carrying amount of the asset as a replacement. Where significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Target Company recognises such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciates them accordingly.

Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis to write off the cost of each item of property, plant and equipment to its residual value over its estimated useful life. The principal annual rates used for this purpose are as follows:

Motor and electronic vehicles Office equipment device

22% 6.28%-19.42%

Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost of that item is allocated on a reasonable basis among the parts and each part is depreciated separately. Residual values, useful lives and the depreciation method are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at least at each financial year/period end.

An item of property, plant and equipment including any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal or retirement recognised in profit or loss in the year/period the asset is derecognised is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset.

Construction in progress represents a building under construction, which is stated at cost less any impairment losses, and is not depreciated. Cost comprises the direct costs of construction and capitalised borrowing costs on related borrowed funds during the period of construction. Construction in progress is reclassified to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for use.

Properties under development

Properties under development are intended to be held for sale after completion.

Properties under development are stated at the lower of cost comprising land costs, construction costs, borrowing costs, professional fees and other costs directly attributable to such properties incurred during the development period and net realisable value.

Properties under development are classified as current assets unless those will not be realised in the normal operating cycle. On completion, the properties are transferred to completed properties held for sale.

Completed properties held for sale

Completed properties held for sale are stated in the statement of financial position at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined by an apportionment of the total costs of land and buildings attributable to the unsold properties. Net realisable value takes into account the price ultimately expected to be realised, less estimated costs to be incurred in selling the properties.

Allocation of property development cost

Land costs are allocated to each unit according to its occupied gross floor area (''GFA'') to the total occupied GFA. Construction costs relating to units were identified and allocated specifically. Common construction costs have been allocated according to the saleable GFA similar to land costs.

Investments and other financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income, and fair value through profit or loss.

The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset's contractual cash flow characteristics and the Target Company's business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Target Company has applied the practical expedient, the Target Company initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Target Company has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined under IFRS 15 in accordance with the policies set out for ''Revenue recognition'' below.

In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (''SPPI'') on the principal amount outstanding. Financial assets with cash flows that are not SPPI are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model.

The Target Company's business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both. Financial assets classified and measured at amortised cost are held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, while financial assets classified and measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling. Financial assets which are not held within the aforementioned business models are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, that is, the date that the Target Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

Subsequent measurement

The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows:

Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)

Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.

Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Target Company's statement of financial position) when:

  • . the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or

  • . the Target Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ''pass-through'' arrangement; and either (a) the Target Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Target Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Target Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risk and rewards of ownership of the asset. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the Target Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Target Company's continuing involvement. In that case, the Target Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Target Company has retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Target Company could be required to repay.

Impairment of financial assets

The Target Company recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (''ECLs'') for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Target Company expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.

General approach

ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12 months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).

At each reporting date, the Target Company assesses whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. When making the assessment, the Target Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition and considers reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort, including historical and forward-looking information.

The Target Company considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due. However, in certain cases, the Target Company may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Target Company is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Target Company. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.

Financial assets at amortised cost are subject to impairment under the general approach and they are classified within the following stages for measurement of ECLs except for trade receivables which apply the simplified approach as detailed below.

Stage 1

- Financial instruments for which credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition and for which the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs

Stage 2

-

Financial instruments for which credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition but that are not credit-impaired financial assets and for which the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs

Stage 3

- Financial assets that are credit-impaired at the reporting date (but that are not purchased or originated credit-impaired) and for which the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.

Simplified approach

For trade receivables, the Target Company applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Target Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at the end of each of the Relevant Periods. The Target Company has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Target Company's financial liabilities include trade payables, financial liabilities included in other payables, deposits received and accruals, other liabilities and interest-bearing bank and other borrowings.

Subsequent measurement

The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows:

Financial liabilities at amortised cost (loans and borrowings)

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the effective interest rate amortisation process.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included in finance costs in profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled, or expires.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and a recognition of a new liability, and the difference between the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash, are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and have a short maturity of generally within three months when acquired, less bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Target Company's cash management.

For the purpose of the statements of financial position, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and at banks which are not restricted as to use.

Provisions

A provision is recognised when a present obligation (legal or constructive) has arisen as a result of a past event and it is probable that a future outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, provided that a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

When the effect of discounting is material, the amount recognised for a provision is the present value at the end of each of the Relevant Periods of the future expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The increase in the discounted present value amount arising from the passage of time is included in finance costs in profit or loss.

Income tax

Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of each of the Relevant Periods, taking into consideration interpretations and practices prevailing in the countries in which the Target Company operates.

Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the end of each of the Relevant Periods between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:

  • . when the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

  • . in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carryforward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, the carryforward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:

.

where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary differences arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

.

in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each of the Relevant Periods and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each of the Relevant Periods and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of each of the Relevant Periods.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if and only if the Target Company has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

Revenue recognition

Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of goods or services is transferred to the customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Target Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

When the consideration in a contract includes a variable amount, the amount of consideration is estimated to which the Target Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods or services to the customer. The variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and constrained until it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the associated uncertainty with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

When the contract contains a financing component which provides the customer with a significant benefit of financing the transfer of goods or services to the customer for more than one year, revenue is measured at the present value of the amount receivable, discounted using the discount rate that would be reflected in a separate financing transaction between the Target Company and the customer at contract inception. When the contract contains a financing component which provides the Target Company a significant financial benefit for more than one year, revenue recognised under the contract includes the interest expense accreted on the contract liability under the effective interest method. For a contract where the period between the payment by the customer and the transfer of the promised goods or services is one year or less, the transaction price is not adjusted for the effects of a significant financing component, using the practical expedient in IFRS 15.

Sale of properties

Revenue is recognised when or as the control of the asset is transferred to the purchaser. Depending on the terms of the contract and the laws that apply to the contract, control of the asset may transfer over time or at a point in time. Control of the asset is transferred over time if the Target Company's performance:

. provides benefits which are received and consumed simultaneously by the purchaser; or

. creates and enhances an asset that the purchaser controls as the Target Company performs; or

.

does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Target Company and the Target Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

If control of the asset transfers over time, revenue is recognised over the period of the contract by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. Otherwise, revenue is recognised at a point in time when the purchaser obtains control of the asset.

The progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation is measured based on the Target Company's efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of the performance obligation that best depict the Target Company's performance in satisfying the performance obligation.

In determining the transaction price, the Target Company adjusts the promised amount of consideration for the effect of a financing component if it is significant.

For property development and sales contracts for which the control of the property is transferred at a point in time, revenue is recognised when the purchaser obtains the physical possession or the legal title of the completed property and the Target Company has the present right to payment and the collection of the consideration is probable.

Revenue recognition

Revenue from other sources

Rental income

Rental income is recognised on a time proportion basis over the lease terms.

Interest income

Interest income is recognised, on an accrual basis using the effective interest method by applying the rate that discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument of the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Contract liabilities

A contract liability is recognised when a payment is received or a payment is due (whichever is earlier) from a customer before the Target Company transfers the related goods or services. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Target Company performs under the contract (i.e., transfers control of the related goods or services to the customer).

Contract costs

Other than the costs which are capitalised as inventories, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, costs incurred to fulfil a contract with a customer are capitalised as an asset if all of the following criteria are met:

  • (a) The costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract that the entity can specifically identify.

  • (b) The costs generate or enhance resources of the entity that will be used in satisfying (or in continuing to satisfy) performance obligations in the future.

  • (c) The costs are expected to be recovered.

The capitalised contract costs are amortised and charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on a systematic basis that is consistent with the pattern of the revenue to which the asset related is recognised. Other contract costs are expensed as incurred.

Other employee retirement benefits

The employees of the Target Company which operate in Mainland China are required to participate in a central pension scheme operated by the local municipal government. The Target Company is required to contribute a certain proportion of their payroll costs to the central pension scheme. The contributions are charged to profit or loss as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the central pension scheme.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, i.e. assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. The capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases when 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 capitalised. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

Dividends

Dividends are recognised as a liability when they are approved by the shareholders in a general meeting.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of the Target Company's financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and their accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets or liabilities affected in the future.

Estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of each of the Relevant Periods, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are disclosed below:

Provision of properties under development and completed properties held for sale

The Target Company's properties under development and completed properties held for sale are

stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Based on the Target Company's historical

experience and the nature of the subject properties, the Target Company makes estimates of the selling

prices, the costs of completion of properties under development, and the costs to be incurred in selling

the properties based on prevailing market conditions.

If there is an increase in costs to completion or a decrease in net sales value, the net realisable

value will decrease and this may result in a provision for properties under development and completed

properties held for sale. Such provision requires the use of judgement and estimates. Where the

expectation is different from the original estimate, the carrying value and provision for properties in the

periods in which such estimate is changed will be adjusted accordingly.

Provision for expected credit losses on trade receivables

The Target Company uses a provision matrix to calculate ECLs for trade receivables. The

provision rates are based on days past due for groupings of various customer segments that have similar

loss patterns.

The provision matrix is initially based on the Target Company's historical observed default rates. The Target Company will calibrate the matrix to adjust the historical credit loss experience with forward-looking information. For instance, if forecast economic conditions (i.e., consumer price index) are expected to deteriorate over the next year which can lead to an increased number of defaults in the manufacturing sector, the historical default rates are adjusted. At the end of each of the Relevant Periods, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.

The assessment of the correlation among historical observed default rates, forecast economic conditions and ECLs is a significant estimate. The amount of ECLs is sensitive to changes in circumstances and forecast economic conditions. The Target Company's historical credit loss experience and forecast of economic conditions may also not be representative of a customer' actual default in the future.

Impairment of non-financial assets (other than goodwill)

The Target Company assesses whether there are any indicators of impairment for all non-financial assets (including the right-of-use assets) at the end of each of the Relevant Periods. Other non-financial assets are tested for impairment when there are indicators that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or a cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value-in-use. The calculation of the fair value less costs of disposal is based on available data from binding sales transactions in an arm's length transaction of similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. When value in use calculations are undertaken, management must estimate the expected future cash flows from the asset or cash-generating unit and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.

4. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

For management purposes, the Target Company is organised as one business unit - property development. Management monitors the operating results of the Target Company's property development business as a whole to make decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Accordingly, no separate segment information is prepared.

Geographical information

No geographical information is presented as the Target Company's revenue from the external customers is derived solely from its operation in Mainland China and no assets of the Target Company are located outside Mainland China.

Information about major customers

No sales to a single customer or a Target Company of customers under common control accounted for 10% or more of the Target Company's revenue for each of the Relevant Periods.

11. INCOME TAX

Provision for Mainland China current income tax is based on a statutory rate of 25% of the assessable profits of the Target Company, which was determined in accordance with the PRC Corporate Income Tax Law which was approved and became effective on 1 January 2008 (the ''New Corporate Income Tax Law'').

LAT is levied at progressive rates ranging from 30% to 60% on the appreciation of land value, being the proceeds from sale of properties less deductible expenditures including land costs, borrowing costs and other property development expenditures. The Target Company has estimated, made and included in taxation a provision for LAT according to the requirements set forth in the relevant Mainland China tax laws and regulations. The LAT provision is subject to the final review and approval by the local tax bureau.

The value of completed properties held for sale is assessed at the end of each of the Relevant Periods. An impairment exists when the carrying value exceeds its net realisable value, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal. The calculation of the fair value less costs of disposal is based on available data from binding sales transactions in an arm's length transaction of similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset.

The financial assets included in the above balances relate to receivables for which there was no recent history of default and past due amounts. As at the end of each of the Relevant Periods, the loss allowance was assessed to be minimal.

16. OTHER CURRENT ASSETS

Other current assets are initially recognised for commission to the sales agents when the agreement for sale and purchase is signed with a property buyer, if recoverable. The amounts recognised as other current assets are amortised on a systematic basis which is consistent with the transfer of the related property to the customer.

The expected timing of recovery or settlement for other current assets as at 31 December 2017, 2018 and 2019 and 30 September 2020 is as follows:

(1) The Target Company provided guarantees in respect of mortgage facilities granted by certain banks to the purchasers of the Target Company's completed properties held for sale. Pursuant to the terms of the guarantee arrangements, in case of default on mortgage payments by the purchasers, the Target Company is responsible for repaying the outstanding mortgage principals together with any accrued interest and penalties owed by the defaulted purchasers to those banks.

Under the above arrangement, the related properties were pledged to the banks as collateral for the mortgage loans, upon default on mortgage repayments by these purchasers, the banks are entitled to take over the legal titles and will realise the pledged properties through open auction.

The Target Company's guarantee period starts from the dates of grant of the relevant mortgage loans and ends upon the issuance and registration of property ownership certificates to the purchasers, which will generally be available within one to two years after the purchasers take possession of the relevant properties.

The Target Company did not incur any material losses during the year in respect of the guarantees provided for mortgage facilities granted to purchasers of the Target Company's completed properties held for sale. The directors of the Company considered that in case of default on payments, the net realisable value of the related properties would be sufficient to repay the outstanding mortgage loans together with any accrued interest and penalty, and therefore no provision has been made in connection with the guarantees.

FAIR VALUE AND FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Management has assessed that the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, financial assets included in prepayments, deposits and other receivables, trade payables, financial liabilities included in other payables, deposits received and accruals, interest-bearing other borrowings approximate to their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments.

29. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Target Company's principal financial instruments mainly include cash and bank balances, trade receivables, financial assets included in prepayments, deposits and other receivables, trade payables, financial liabilities included in other payables, deposits received and accruals which arise directly from its operations. The Target Company has other financial assets and liabilities such as interest-bearing other borrowings, balance due from related parties and balances due to related parties. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the Target Company's operations.

The main risks arising from the Target Company's financial instruments are interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Generally, the Target Company introduces conservative strategies on its risk management. To keep the Target Company's exposure to these risks to a minimum, the Target Company has not used any derivatives and other instruments for hedging purposes. The Target Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The board of directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below:

(a) Interest rate risk

The Target Company's exposure to risk for changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Target Company's interest-bearing other borrowings set out in note 21. The Target Company does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate risk, and obtains all bank borrowings borrowings with a fixed rate.

(b) Credit risk

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and financial assets included in prepayments, deposits and other receivables included in the statements of financial position represent the Target Company's maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to its financial assets as the end of each of the Relevant Periods.

At the end of each of the Relevant Periods, all cash and cash equivalents were deposited in high-credit-quality financial institutions without significant credit risk.

The Target Company classifies financial instruments on the basis of shared credit risk characteristics, such as instrument types and credit risk ratings for the purpose of determining significant increases in credit risk and calculation of impairment.

To manage risk arising from trade receivables, the Target Company has policies in place to ensure that credit terms are made only to counterparties with an appropriate credit history and management performs ongoing credit evaluations of the Target Company's counterparties. The credit period granted to the customers is generally from one to three months and the credit quality of these customers is assessed, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. The Target Company also has other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue receivables. In addition, the Target Company reviews regularly the recoverable amount of trade receivables to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. The Target Company has no significant concentrations of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large number of counterparties and customers.

The Target Company applies the simplified approach to provide for ECLs prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables. The expected credit losses also incorporate forward-looking information based on key economic variables such as consumer price index.

A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes observable data about the following events:

  • . significant financial difficulty of the debtor;

  • . a breach of contract such as a default or past due event; and

  • . it is probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation.

The Target Company has established a policy to perform an assessment for the period beginning on 1 January 2018, of whether a financial instrument has a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, by considering the change in the risk of default occurring over the remaining life of the financial instrument. The Target Company classifies its other receivables and amounts due from related companies into Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3, as described below:

Stage 1

When other receivables and amounts due from related companies are first recognised, the

Target Company recognises an allowance based on 12 months' ECLs.

Stage 2

When other receivables and amounts due from related companies have shown a significant

increase in credit risk since origination, the Target Company records an allowance for the

lifetime ECLs.

Stage 3

When other receivables and amounts due from related companies are considered credit-

impaired, the Target Company records an allowance for the lifetime ECLs.

Management makes periodic collective assessments for financial assets included in prepayments, deposits and other receivables, and amounts due from related parties as well as individual assessment on the recoverability of other receivables based on historical settlement records and past experience. The Target Company has classified financial assets included in prepayments, deposits and other receivables, and amounts due from related parties in stage 1 and continuously monitors their credit risk. The Target Company assessed the expected credit loss rate of minimal, considering the default probability and recovery probability, to estimate the impairment of financial assets included in prepayments, deposits and other receivables. The directors of the Target Company believe that there is no material credit risk inherent in the Target Company's outstanding balance of financial assets included in prepayments, other receivables and adequate provisions were recognised following the assessment. Certain amounts advanced to related companies in year 2018 was assessed as credit-impaired by management, and full loss provision was made to write down those receivables.

(c) Liquidity risk

The Target Company's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of interest-bearing other borrowings. Cash flows are closely monitored on an ongoing basis.

The maturity profile of the Target Company's financial liabilities as at the end of each of the Relevant Periods, based on contractual undiscounted payments, is as follows:

The registered office of the Target Company is located at 16#1107, Science and Education Pioneer Park, 100 Jinxi Road, Binghu District, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province.

As at 31 December 2020, the Target Company's holding company is Wuxi Yinzexuan Enterprise Management Co., Ltd. (), a subsidiary of the Company, which holds 100% equity interests of the Target Company.

2.1

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with International FinancialReporting Standards (''IFRSs'') which comprise all standards and interpretations approved by the International Accounting Standards Board (the ''IASB'').

The Historical Financial Information is presented in Renminbi (''RMB'') and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.

The Historical Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost convention.

2.2

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES

The Target Company has adopted the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 2018 and thefollowing revised IFRSs for the first time for the current year's financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 3

Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7

Amendment to IFRS 16

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8

Definition of a Business

Interest Rate Benchmark Reform

Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions (early adopted) Definition of Material

The nature and the impact of the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 2018 and the revised IFRSs are described below:

(a)Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 2018 (the ''Conceptual Framework'') sets out a comprehensive set of concepts for financial reporting and standard setting, and provides guidance for preparers of financial statements in developing consistent accounting policies and assistance to all parties to understand and interpret the standards. The Conceptual Framework includes new chapters on measurement and reporting financial performance, new guidance on the derecognition of assets and liabilities, and updated definitions and recognition criteria for assets and liabilities. It also clarifies the roles of stewardship, prudence and measurement uncertainty in financial reporting. The Conceptual Framework is not a standard, and none of the concepts contained therein override the concepts or requirements in any standard. The Conceptual Framework did not have any significant impact on the financial position and performance of the Target Company.

  • (b) Amendments to IFRS 3 clarify and provide additional guidance on the definition of a business. The amendments clarify that for an integrated set of activities and assets to be considered a business, it must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. A business can exist without including all of the inputs and processes needed to create outputs. The amendments remove the assessment of whether market participants are capable of acquiring the business and continue to produce outputs. Instead, the focus is on whether acquired inputs and acquired substantive processes together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The amendments have also narrowed the definition of outputs to focus on goods or services provided to customers, investment income or other income from ordinary activities. Furthermore, the amendments provide guidance to assess whether an acquired process is substantive and introduce an optional fair value concentration test to permit a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. The Target Company has applied the amendments prospectively to transactions or other events that occurred on or after 1 January 2020. The amendments did not have any impact on the financial position and performance of the Target Company.

  • (c) Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 address issues affecting financial reporting in the period before the replacement of an existing interest rate benchmark with an alternative risk-free rate (''RFR''). The amendments provide temporary reliefs which enable hedge accounting to continue during the period of uncertainty before the introduction of the alternative RFR. In addition, the amendments require companies to provide additional information to investors about their hedging relationships which are directly affected by these uncertainties. The amendments did not have any impact on the financial position and performance of the Target Company as the

    Target Company does not have any interest rate hedging relationships.

  • (d) Amendment to IFRS 16 provides a practical expedient for lessees to elect not to apply lease modification accounting for rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the covid-19 pandemic. The practical expedient applies only to rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the pandemic and only if (i) the change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change; (ii) any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021; and (iii) there is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 June 2020 with earlier application permitted and shall be applied retrospectively.

    During the year ended 31 December 2020, certain monthly lease payments for the leases of the Target Company's plant and machinery have been reduced or waived by the lessors upon reducing the scale of production as a result of the pandemic and there are no other changes to the terms of the leases. The Target Company has early adopted the amendment on 1 January 2020 and elected not to apply lease modification accounting for all rent concessions granted by the lessors as a result of the pandemic during the year ended 31 December 2020.

  • (e) Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 provide a new definition of material. The new definition states that information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. The amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the nature or magnitude of information, or both. The amendments did not have any significant impact on the financial position and performance of the Target Company.

5

As a consequence of the amendments to IAS 1, Hong Kong Interpretation 5 Presentation of

Financial Statements - Classification by the Borrower of a Term Loan that Contains a

Repayment on Demand Clause was revised in October 2020 to align the corresponding wording

with no change in conclusion

6

As a consequence of the amendments to IFRS 17 issued in October 2020, IFRS 4 was amended to

extend the temporary exemption that permits insurers to apply IAS 39 rather than IFRS 9 for

annual periods beginning before 1 January 2023

Further information about those IFRSs that are expected to be applicable to The Target Company is described below.

Amendments to IFRS 3 are intended to replace a reference to the previous Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements with a reference to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting issued in June 2018 without significantly changing its requirements. The amendments also add to IFRS 3 an exception to its recognition principle for an entity to refer to the Conceptual Framework to determine what constitutes an asset or a liability. The exception specifies that, for liabilities and contingent liabilities that would be within the scope of IAS 37 or IFRIC-Int 21 if they were incurred separately rather than assumed in a business combination, an entity applying IFRS 3 should refer to IAS 37 or IFRIC-Int 21 respectively instead of the Conceptual Framework. Furthermore, the amendments clarify that contingent assets do not qualify for recognition at the acquisition date. The Target Company expects to adopt the amendments prospectively from 1 January 2022. Since the amendments apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the date of first application, The Target Company will not be affected by these amendments on the date of transition.

Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 address issues not dealt with in the previous amendments which affect financial reporting when an existing interest rate benchmark is replaced with an alternative RFR. The Phase 2 amendments provide a practical expedient to allow the effective interest rate to be updated without adjusting the carrying amount when accounting for changes in the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of financial assets and liabilities, if the change is a direct consequence of the interest rate benchmark reform and the new basis for determining the contractual cash flows is economically equivalent to the previous basis immediately preceding the change. In addition, the amendments permit changes required by the interest rate benchmark reform to be made to hedge designations and hedge documentation without the hedging relationship being discontinued. Any gains or losses that could arise on transition are dealt with through the normal requirements of IFRS 9 to measure and recognise hedge ineffectiveness. The amendments also provide a temporary relief to entities from having to meet the separately identifiable requirement when an RFR is designated as a risk component. The relief allows an entity, upon
