Pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules, in lieu of holding a general meeting, shareholders' written approval has been obtained on 27 June 2019 from Tian Yuan Manganese Limited (formerly known as China Tian Yuan Manganese Limited), a controlling Shareholder who directly holds and is beneficially interested in 249,539,294 Shares, representing approximately 62.54% of the issued share capital of the Company, as at the Latest Practicable Date, approving the PSA and the transactions contemplated. As such, the Company is not required to convene a general meeting for purpose of the Disposal.

The main purpose of this circular is to provide you with further particulars of the Disposal and other information required under the Listing Rules.

The PSA

On 26 June 2019, SWAN USA, an indirect subsidiary of the Company, as Seller, entered into the PSA with the Purchaser, pursuant to which the Seller has agreed to sell and the Purchaser has agreed to purchase the 51% of equity interest in SHR. Particulars of the principal terms of which are set out below:

Date

  1. SWAN USA Inc., an indirect subsidiary of the Company, as seller; and
  2. the Purchaser, as purchaser.

The Purchaser is interested as to 49% of the equity interest in SHR. As such, the Purchaser is considered as a connected person of the Company at the subsidiary level under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

To the best information and belief of the Directors, the ultimate beneficial owners of the Purchaser include Mr. Rodrigo Jimenez, the Chief Executive Officer of SHR, who, as at the Latest Practicable Date, holds 24.79% interest in the Purchaser, and 14 other minority shareholders who are third parties independent of the Company.

- 4 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Assets to be disposed of

51% of the equity interest in SHR. Upon the Completion, the Company has ceased to have any interest in SHR. SHR has ceased to be an indirect subsidiary of the Company, accordingly, the financial results, assets, liabilities and cash flows of SHR will no longer be consolidated into the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Further particulars of SHR are set out in the section headed "Information on SHR" below.

Consideration and payment terms

According to the PSA, an aggregate consideration of approximately USD3,277,000 shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Seller in cash in following manners:

  1. within 10 business days from the date of the PSA, a cash amount of USD150,000 (the "Deposit"); and
  2. at the Completion, a cash amount of approximately USD3,127,000 (the "Final Payment").

The consideration was determined after arm's length negotiation between the parties by reference to, among others, (i) the fair market value of 100% of the interest in SHR Group of USD3,800,000 as at 31 August 2018 (being the valuation base date), as appraised by a qualified independent valuer registered in the USA, using income based approach, specifically guideline public method and discounted cash flow method which has taken into account the discounted cash flow forecast of SHR Group; (ii) historical operation results of SHR Group that SHR Group has been making continuous loss for the a number of years; and (iii) the prospects of the business engaged by the SHR Group.

In light of (i) the fact that the consideration for the Disposal at USD3,277,000 represents a significant mark-up of approximately 69% over the appraised fair market value of 51% of interest in SHR Group of USD1,938,000 as at 31 August 2018; and (ii) the operation results and performance of SHR Group after the valuation was still unsatisfactory, which are evidenced by a further operational loss of USD842,000 in nine months period subsequent to the valuation base date, resulting in an unaudited net liabilities of SHR Group amounted to USD481,000 as at 31 May 2019, therefore the Directors are of the view that the consideration is fair and reasonable.

Conditions

Completion is conditional upon the fulfilment and/or waiver of, inter alia, the following conditions:

  1. the Shareholders having passed resolutions (if required) to approve the PSA and the transactions contemplated thereunder;
    • 5 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. no order or judgment (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) of any relevant governmental entity having been issued or made prior to the Completion which has the effect of making unlawful or otherwise prohibiting or restricting or limiting the transfer of the shares of SHR to the Purchaser, or any transaction contemplated by the PSA;
  2. no event having occurred since the date of the PSA to the Completion Date, the consequence of which is to materially and adversely affect the financial position, business or property, results of operations or assets of the SHR Group between the date of the PSA and the Completion; and
  3. the warranties and representation of the parties thereto remaining true and accurate in all material respects.

If any of the conditions to the Completion stipulated in the PSA has not been fulfilled (or waived in writing) on or before the Long Stop Date, the PSA shall terminate in accordance with its terms and conditions.

The Completion

The Completion has been taken place on 6 July 2019 on which the transfer of 51% equity interest of SHR by the Seller to the Purchaser completed, which is before the Long Stop Date.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL

Based on the information available, the Group estimates to recognise an unaudited gain of approximately USD3.5 million from the Disposal, being the difference between (i) the consideration for the Disposal receivable by the Group and (ii) the Group's share on unaudited net liabilities of SHR as at 31 May 2019 as extracted from its management accounts.

Upon the completion of the Disposal, SHR has ceased to be a subsidiary of the Company and the financial results of the SHR will no longer be consolidated into the Group's financial statements. It is expected that the total assets of the Group would decrease by approximately USD8.9 million and the total liabilities of the Group would decrease by approximately USD11.9 million upon the completion of the Disposal. As mentioned above, the expected gain from the Disposal of approximately USD3.5 million would have an immediate positive impact on the earnings of the Group. Moreover, given the loss-making position of the SHR Group, the Group's profitability is expected to be improved upon Completion as the loss incurred by the SHR Group subsequent to its disposal is no longer consolidated in the Group's income statement.

The actual gain as a result of the Disposal to be recorded by the Group is subject to final audit to be performed by the Company's auditors.

- 6 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Shareholders should note that the above figures are for illustrative purpose only. The actual gain or loss on the Disposal may be different from the above and will be determined based on the financial position of SHR Group on the Completion Date and the review by the Group's auditors upon finalization of the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

SHR GROUP PROFIT FORECAST

The fair market value of 51% equity interests in the SHR Group of USD3,088,000 as at 26 June 2019 (being the valuation base date) was appraised by a Valuer, which represents the average of the valuation by using guideline publicly traded comparable method (market approach) and discounted cash flow method (income approach). Since the discounted cash flow method has taken into account the discounted cash flow forecast of SHR Group (the "SHR Group Profit Forecast" or "SHR Group Discounted Cash Flows"), and therefore the SHR Group Profit Forecast constitutes a profit forecast under Rule 14.61 of the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

    1. EV metrics are considered to be more robust when the capital structures of the comparable companies vary considerably.

INFORMATION ON THE PURCHASER

The Purchaser was established in the USA and is principally engaged in provision of website and application software development services for the travel industry. As at the date of the PSA, the Purchaser was interested as to 49% of the equity interest in SHR which was then an indirect non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As such, the Purchaser has been considered as a connected person of the Company at the subsidiary level under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE PSA

The Directors observed that the SHR Group has been making continuous losses for the recent years. Through the Disposal, the Group will be able to recoup its investment in SHR and to apply the net proceeds from the Disposal to profit-generating projects in its principal business operations such as money lending and related business, hospitality and healthcare business, which is beneficial to the future development of the Group in the long run.

Besides hospitality segment, the principal business operations of the Group include securities and fund investment, money lending and related business and healthcare service. For the financial year 2018, the money lending and related business segment and healthcare service segment recorded segment profits of HK$28,534,000 and HK$4,417,000, respectively.

For the healthcare service segment, the subscription and acquisition (the "Subscription and Acquisition") of 51% of the entire issued share capital of PRIP Communications Limited by the Company and its associated transactions in 2017, including but not limited to the acquisition of Korean DA trademarks and provision of certain procurement, marketing and management services and trademark licensing services to DA Plastic Surgery Clinic ("DA Clinic"), demonstrates a strong alignment with the Group's interest and commitment in entering into the high-growthhealthcare-related industries, being a new business segment to the Group since 2017. After the aforesaid transaction with DA Clinic, the Group built up the partnership with Dr. LEE Sang Woo of DA Clinic and his professional team, a reputable clinic and team in plastic surgery and medical beauty industry in South Korea. It provides a foundation for importing South Korean top-tier doctors and professional staff to mainland China in future. The Group is optimistic about the future development of medical beauty industry in China and is of the view that the growth in the medical beauty industry is very promising.

- 10 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As disclosed in the announcements of the Company dated 30 May 2017 and 17 August 2017 in relation to the Subscription and Acquisition that the Company would explore the possibility of further cooperation with Dr. LEE in the plastic surgery and medical beauty industry in greater China area. The Group is now liaising to acquire certain plastic surgery clinic(s) or hospital(s) in China which will operate under the "DA" brand and expects to apply the net proceeds from the Disposal to fund such acquisitions. It is also expected that the Group will cooperate with Dr. LEE in the operation of the plastic surgery clinic(s) or hospital(s) in China to be acquired by utilising his expertise in management and operation of the clinic(s) and hospital(s) including importing to the clinics or hospitals professionally qualified and experienced doctors and other related human resources, providing the continuing technical training, managing the quality control of services provided at these clinic(s) or hospital(s). The Directors are confident that the potential projects in medical beauty industry is beneficial to the Group's business performance and is in line with its development strategy in the long run. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has not entered into any agreement, arrangement or understanding in relation to the proposed acquisition of plastic surgery clinic(s) or hospital(s) in China yet. It is expected that the agreement or memorandum of understanding in relation to the abovementioned acquisitions plastic surgery clinic(s) or hospital(s) in China will be entered into in the second half of 2019. In case of the Group did not carry out the aforementioned acquisition plans as expected, the net proceeds can be used to develop other hospitality related business and enhance the overall continuous competitiveness of the Group by strengthening the position of working capital of the Group and/or expanding its business in the healthcare segment in other markets or in other manners as the Board consider to be appropriate taking into account the then relevant circumstances of the Group.

Based on the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the PSA, the transactions contemplated thereunder and the Disposal are normal commercial terms that are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

None of the Directors had any material interest in the PSA, the transactions contemplated thereunder, and the Disposal and therefore none of them was required to abstain from voting for the relevant board resolutions to approve the PSA and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

The Group has not engaged in any previous transactions which were related to the transactions contemplated under the PSA which would otherwise require aggregation under Rule 14.22 or Rule 14A.81 of the Listing Rules.

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the Listing Rules) in respect of the Disposal exceed 25% but below 75%, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. Since, as the date of the PSA and prior to the Completion, the Purchaser was interested in 49% of the equity interest in SHR, which was then an indirect non-wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Purchaser is considered as a connected person of the Company at the subsidiary level, and thus the Disposal constitutes a connected transaction of the Company.

- 11 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pursuant to Rule 14A.101 of the Listing Rules, since (i) the Board has approved the Disposal and the transactions contemplated thereunder; and (ii) the independent non-executive Directors have confirmed that the terms of the PSA and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable, the transactions are on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, the Disposal is exempt from the circular, independent financial advice and Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

However, being a major transaction of the Company, the Disposal is still subject to the reporting, announcement and Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

The Company has obtained a written Shareholder's approval on 27 June 2019 from Tian Yuan Manganese Limited (formerly known as China Tian Yuan Manganese Limited), a controlling Shareholder who directly holds and is beneficially interested in 249,539,294 Shares, representing approximately 62.54% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, for approving the PSA and the transactions contemplated thereunder in lieu of holding a general meeting of the Company in accordance with Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, no general meeting of the Company will be held for the approval of the PSA and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the opinion that the terms of the PSA are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as whole. If a general meeting were to be convened for the approval of the Disposal and the transactions contemplated under the PSA, the Board would have recommended the Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution to approve the Disposal and the transactions contemplated under the PSA at such general meeting.

APPENDIX IV

VALUATION REPORT

We have relied on various operating and financial information provided by the Management, its representatives or agents. Without being engaged and instructed to compile, review or investigate the said information which is the expertise of the audit and assurance profession, we have made no investigation of, and have expressed no opinion or any form of assurance on whether the historical and prospective financial information are established in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles and international standards. As such we assume no responsibility for, the titles to or liabilities against the Subject of Valuation in relation to the accuracy of the various operating and financial information.

Our conclusion of value should only serve the stated purpose in this report. We accept no liabilities arising from any unauthorised use of our report.

1. PURPOSE OF ENGAGEMENT

Valtech Valuation has been engaged by the Company to determine the Market Value of

51% equity interest in the SHR Group as at the Valuation Date for management's evaluation of a negotiated transaction and the Company's public disclosure.

2. STANDARD AND BASIS OF VALUE

This valuation was prepared on the basis of Market Value. In accordance with the International Valuation Standards (2017) published by International Valuation Standards Council, Market Value is 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.

3. PREMISE OF VALUE

A Premise of Value or Assumed Use describes the circumstances of how an asset or liability is used. Different bases of value may require a particular Premise of Value or allow the consideration of multiple Premises of Value. Some common Premises of Value are:

  • Highest and Best Use: is the use that would produce the highest and best use for an asset, and it must be financially feasible, legally allowed and result in the highest value;
  • Current Use/Existing Use: is the current way an asset, liability, or group of assets and/or liabilities is used, maybe yet not necessarily the highest and best use;

- IV-2 -

APPENDIX IV

VALUATION REPORT

  • Orderly Liquidation: describes the value of a group of assets that could be realized in a liquidation sale, given a reasonable period of time to find a purchaser/(s), with the seller being compelled to sell on an as-is,where-is basis; and
  • Forced Sale: is in circumstances where a seller is under compulsion to sell and that, as a consequence, a proper marketing period is not possible and buyers may not be able to undertake adequate due diligence.

After having reviewed all background and financial information and taken into consideration all relevant facts, the Subject of Valuation should be valued on a Highest and Best Use premise.

Given the Subject of Valuation represents a 51% controlling interest in the SHR Group, we have evaluated the SHR Group from a controlling interest's perspective, where the potential value of the underlying business can be evaluated as a whole, and a pro-rata 51% share of interest can be fully accrued to its existing or prospective holder without a further Discount for Lack of Control.

6. ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

The SHR Group has primarily generated its revenue from the United States ("US"). In the following section, we have analyzed the current economic conditions of the US and its potential impact on our conclusion of value.

Despite facing challenges at the domestic level along with a rapidly transforming global landscape, the US is still the largest and most important economy in the world. The US economy represents about 20% of total global output and features a highly developed and technologically advanced services sector, which accounts for about 80% of its output. The US economy is dominated by service-oriented companies in areas such as technology, financial services, healthcare and retail. Large US corporations also play a major role on the global stage, with more than a fifth of companies on the Fortune Global 500 coming from the United States. Even though the services sector is the main engine of the economy, the US also has an important manufacturing base, which represents roughly 15% of output. The US is the second largest manufacturer in the world and a leader in high-value industries such as automobiles, aerospace, machinery, telecommunications and chemicals. Economic growth in the United States is constantly being driven forward by ongoing innovation, research and development as well as capital investment.

Gross Domestic Production

Economic growth in the US maintained momentum in the first half of the year. Although investment remained sluggish, employment and consumption were buoyant. The Gross Domestic Production ("GDP") growth rate has been slightly decreasing since its peak value of 2.95% in 2015 for the recent ten years. According to World Economic Outlook Database published by International Monetary Fund ("IMF") in October 2019, the growth rate of GDP

in 2018 was recorded at 2.9% and expected to moderate to 2.4% and 2.1% in 2019 and 2020 respectively. The projected slowdown in 2019 and beyond is a side effect of the trade war, a key component of Trump's economic policies.

The economy has been recovering slowly yet unevenly since the depths of the recession in 2009 and has received further support through expansionary monetary policies. This includes not only holding interest rates at the lower bound, but also the unconventional practice of the government buying large amounts of financial assets to increase the money supply and hold down long-term interest rates - a practice known as "quantitative easing".

Inflation & Monetary Policy

Consumer price inflation, as measured by the 12-month change in the price index for personal consumption expenditures, moved down from a little above the Federal Reserve's objective of 2% in the middle of last year to a rate of 1.5% in May. The 12-month measure of inflation that excludes food and energy items (so-called core inflation), which historically has been a better indicator than the overall figure of where inflation will be in the future, was 1.6% in May - down from a rate of 2% from a year ago.

The US Congress has established that the monetary policy objectives of the Federal Reserve are to promote maximum employment and price stability in what is known as the "dual mandate". The Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") is the Fed's monetary policymaking body. The FOMC meets about eight times a year to discuss developments and the outlook for the US economy and to debate different policy options, including the level of interest rates. The federal funds rate, the main interest rate managed by the Fed, is the rate which deposit banks charge each other to trade funds overnight in order to maintain reserve balance requirements. The federal funds rate is one of the most important in the US economy because it influences all other short-term interest rates. In light of the implications of global developments for the economic outlook as well as muted inflation pressures, the Committee decided in the recent October meeting to lower the target range for the federal funds rate to 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 percent. This action supports the Committee's view that sustained expansion of economic activity, strong labor market conditions, and inflation near the Committee's symmetric 2 percent objective are the most likely outcomes, but uncertainties about this outlook remain. The Committee will continue to monitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook as it assesses the appropriate path of the target range for the federal funds rate.

VALUATION REPORT

The US dollar is often referred to as the world's currency because it is by far the most used currency in international transactions and also the most widely held reserve currency. Almost two-third of currency reserves held throughout the world are in US dollars. Although the Treasury Department has the primary authority to oversee international financial issues, the Treasury's decisions regarding foreign exchange are made in consultation with the Federal Reserve. However, US intervention in the foreign exchange market has become increasingly less frequent. US authorities typically let the open foreign exchange market and domestic monetary policies determine rates.

Population & Unemployment

The population of US has grown steadily from 305 million in 2008 to 327 million in 2018 with a CAGR of 0.7%, while the unemployment rate has moderated to 3.9% in 2018 after reaching the peak of 9.6% recorded in 2010. According to latest release from by the Bureau of Labor Statistics ("BLS"), the labor market of US has continued to strengthen. Over the first five months of 2019, payrolls (representing the count of employment) increased at an average of 165,000 per month. This rate is down from the average pace of 223,000 in 2018, but it is faster than what is needed to provide jobs for new entrants into the labor force. The unemployment rate moved down from 3.9% in December to 3.6% in May; meanwhile, wage gains have remained moderate.

The BLS publishes an occupational outlook each decade. It goes into great detail about each industry and occupation. Overall, the BLS expects total employment to increase by 20.5 million jobs between 2010 and 2020. While 88% of all occupations will experience growth, the fastest growth will occur in healthcare, personal care and social assistance, and construction. The BLS assumes that the economy will fully recover from the recession by 2020 and that the labor force will return to an unemployment rate of 4% to 5%. The most significant growth in payrolls, forecasted at 5.7 million jobs, will occur in healthcare and other forms of social assistance as the American population ages.

Economy Challenges

In the near term, while the labor market has recovered significantly and employment has returned to pre-crisis levels, there is still widespread debate regarding the health of the US economy. In addition, even though the worst effects of the recession are now fading, the economy still faces a variety of significant challenges going forward. Deteriorating infrastructure, wage stagnation, rising income inequality, elevated pension and medical costs, as well as the recent trade tensions with China, large current account and government budget deficits, are all issues faced by the US economy.

7. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

and coordinating housekeeping, as well as enhancing the guest experience using customer relationship management ("CRM"). Currently, it has become crucial for the hotel and hospitality industry to improve its services for the tourism. The rapid growth in the tourism and hospitality industry has played a major role in driving the hotel and hospitality management software market.

The hotel & hospitality management software market could be divided by product type, hotel type, deployment model and service system.

- IV-9 -

APPENDIX IV

VALUATION REPORT

By product type, the HMS software market is divided into segments of Central Reservation System ("CRS"), channel manager, booking engine, digital services, property management and others. A hotel CRS constitutes of various modules including reservation, profiles, groups and blocks, rate and inventory control, administration, reporting, global distribution interface, and PMS interface. As technology continues to advance, big data and smart algorithms technology allow the CRS to deliver geo-targeted pricing and personalization such as delivering unique one-to-one pricing to individual travelers.

By hotel type, the market is divided into segments of business hotel, resorts and spas, boutique hotel, and others. The hotels offer easy accessibility, Wi-Fi, and quick check in/out procedures, complimentary newspapers, and free local telephone calls. Hotel and hospitality management software provides exceptional service to satisfy the demands of today's corporate travelers. It enables a seamless check-in and check-out process, easy to navigate, offers corporate rate logins, upgrades, and loyalty options to the business travelers. Hotel and hospitality management software provides solutions to fulfill the specific needs of resort and spa businesses.

By deployment model, the HMS software market is bifurcated by on-premise, and on-cloud.On-premise software is generally priced under a one-time license fee which is based on the number of users and organization size. There is capital investment in hardware and upfront license fee for software support, training, and updates. However, on-premise hotel and hospitality software enables a higher level of customization, offers greater control over data.

By service system, the HMS software market is segregated by system and integration, professional service, managed service, other. Hotel property management systems integration provides an easy way for hoteliers to use all of the data collected by the system and enable them to deal with pricing, promoting, segmenting according to demand. Additionally, by integrating with other solutions, hoteliers can access to reports, analytics, guest reviews, and ratings, which enable them to enhance hotel service and drive in more guests. Professional service solution increases operational efficiency, enhances the guest experience and generates more revenue for the hotels. It supports all variety of processes from point-of-sale ("POS") activities to operations in the central office from the preparation of menus and recipes to tracking order statuses. Managed services constantly monitor the stability and security of hotels IT network for maximum uptime in all locations without increasing in-house IT staff.

In view of the future prospect, several hospitality trends are expected to drive technology initiatives at hotel companies and shape the industry:

  • Big data and CRM. Today's guests interact with hotels from a large number of contact points, like review sites, social media, messaging apps, etc. CRMs will have to process data from all sources and present a useful profile of every guest. The use of this data will no longer be confined to a few sales and marketing staff, but it will have to be disseminated throughout all departments to enhance the guest's journey.

- IV-10 -

APPENDIX IV

VALUATION REPORT

  • Mobile and Predictive Apps. These combine to offer location-aware, personalized recommendations to guests. Mobile is obviously not new, but the capabilities of devices, like Augmented Reality, combined with the use of predictive algorithms will begin to meaningfully enhance the guest experience as he/she explores not only the hotel, but a destination.
  • AI and Conversational Marketing. The way we interact with data-driven applications is changing, and hotel reservations is an area that presents a great fit for leveraging bot and AI driven automated "conversations" with guests or potential guests at each step of the booking or full-stay journey. In the reservations area, a chatbot can be integrated with CRS to help room shoppers get immediate answers, book a room, or manage an existing reservation.
  • Blockchain. This may not affect the industry in 2018, but the technology certainly has the potential to create more direct opportunities for hotels to transact with guests or for individuals to transact with other individuals directly. It is early in the process and we continue to monitor this space.
  • Users Regain Control of their Personal Data. The passing of legislation in Europe mandating new standards of privacy will swing the pendulum in favor of the individual when it comes to the use of their private data. The General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") is redefining how technology companies treat user data and how the user is empowered to release private data to vendors as they see fit. This brings a new layer of complexity to profile management.

8. VALUATION METHODOLOGY

Based on the IVS 2017, values of any business interests can be evaluated under the

following 3 common approaches. To ensure the appropriateness of the selected approach(es), we have reviewed all the 3 approaches and selected the most relevant and reliable approach(es) given the facts and circumstances.

8.1 Cost Approach

The cost approach provides an indication of value using the economic principle that a buyer will pay no more for an asset than the cost to obtain an asset of equal utility, whether by purchase or by construction, unless undue time, inconvenience, risk or other factors are involved. The approach provides an indication of value by calculating the current replacement or reproduction cost of an asset and making deductions for physical deterioration and all other relevant forms of obsolescence.

- IV-11 -

APPENDIX IV

VALUATION REPORT

We have reviewed and rejected the Cost Approach due to the following reasons:

  • Market participants would NOT be able to recreate an asset with substantially the same utility as the subject asset, without regulatory or legal restrictions, and the asset could NOT be recreated quickly enough that a participant would be willing to pay a significant premium for the ability to use the subject asset immediately, and
  • The asset is directly income-generating and the unique nature of the asset makes using an income approach or market approach feasible.

8.2 Income Approach

The income approach provides an indication of value by converting future cash flow to

a single current value. Under the income approach, the value of an asset is determined by reference to the value of income, cash flow or cost savings generated by the asset.

We have reviewed and accepted the Income Approach due to the following reasons:

  • The income-producing ability of the asset is the critical element affecting value from a participant perspective, and
  • Reasonable projections of the amount and timing of future income are available for the subject asset.

8.3 Market Approach

The Market Approach provides an indication of value by comparing the asset with

identical or comparable (that is similar) assets for which price information is available. The Market Approach can be conducted under 2 common methods, namely the Guideline Publicly Traded Comparable Method and Comparable Transactions Method.

The Guideline Publicly Traded Comparable Method utilises information on publicly- traded comparables that are the same or similar to the subject asset to arrive at an indication of value. The Comparable Transactions Method, also known as the Guideline Transactions Method, utilises information on transactions involving assets that are the same or similar to the subject asset to arrive at an indication of value.

We have reviewed and accepted the Market Approach due to the following reasons:

  • The subject asset or substantially similar assets are actively publicly traded, and
  • There are frequent and/or recent observable transactions in substantially similar assets.

- IV-12 -

APPENDIX IV

VALUATION REPORT

8.4 Selected Approach(es)

Based on the above considerations, we have accepted both the Income Approach and Market Approach as the principal approaches underlying our valuation analysis and conclusion of value. The following exhibit summarises our selection and rejection reasons of the 3 common approaches.

9. GENERAL ASSUMPTIONS

The following general assumptions have been made to sufficiently support the valuation analysis and the conclusion of value.

  • There are no material adverse changes in the existing political, legal, commercial and banking regulations, fiscal policies, foreign trade and economic conditions in countries/regions where the SHR Group currently operates in and in the new markets that the SHR Group may potentially expand into as proposed by the Management;
  • There are no material adverse changes in industry demand and/or market conditions;
  • There are no material adverse changes in the fluctuation of interest rates or currency exchange rates in any country which would be deemed to have a negative impact or the ability to hinder the existing and/or potentially future operations of the SHR Group;
  • There are no material adverse changes in the current laws of taxation in those countries in which the SHR Group operates in or the SHR Group may potentially operate in;

- IV-13 -

APPENDIX IV

VALUATION REPORT

  • All relevant legal approvals, business certificates, trade and import permits, bank credit approval have been procured, in place and in good standing prior to commencement of operations by the SHR Group under the normal course of business;
  • Revenue projections and future business potential generated from the SHR Group are expected to largely conform to those as forecasted by the Management, and future revenue growth for the SHR Group would not deviate significantly from its industry range.
  • The SHR Group will be able to retain existing and competent management, key personnel, and technical staff to support all facets of the ongoing business and future operations; and
  • Trademarks, patents, technology, copyrights and other valuable technical and management know-how will not be infringed in countries/regions where the SHR Group is or will be carrying on business.

10. APPLICATION OF THE INCOME APPROACH

10.1 Principle of Discounted Cash Flows

The valuation of the Subject of Valuation under the income approach is being performed by using the discounted cash flows ("DCF") method. The net cash flows from the Subject of Valuation are first estimated based on inputs of various assumptions, including but not limited to the projected revenue and costs, working capital and capital expenditure requirements. The discount rate(s) are determined to bring the projected net cash flows back to their present values based on their levels of risks and uncertainties.

APPENDIX IV

VALUATION REPORT

The Financial Projection and related assumptions contained in our analysis were prepared by the Management of the SHR Group. We have reviewed the validity and reasonableness of the Financial Projection and have directly adopted the Financial Projection without significant adjustments in our analysis. The nature and underlying rationale of the Financial Projection will be discussed hereinafter.

10.1.1 Revenue

We have applied the five-year consolidated Financial Projection of the SHR Group. Beyond the projection period, a terminal value is derived based on a perpetual growth of 2.2%, being the long term US inflation forecast. The revenue projection is based on expected organic growth and new business lines recently acquired or incorporated. In 2019H1, the SHR Group has recorded a 35.9% increase in revenue compared to 2018H1. In terms of revenue component, SHR, LLC has historically contributed to about 95% of the SHR Group's revenue.

10.2 Discount Rate Assumptions

We have developed the discount rate, being the weighted average cost of capital, based on the following assumptions.

10.2.1 Cost of Equity

The cost of equity ("Re"), the return a company's shareholders require to decide if an equity investment meets capital return requirements, was computed by us with reference to the available data and factors relevant to the economy and industry, in which SHR Group operates in. The Modified Capital Asset Pricing Model ("Modified CAPM") was adopted to calculate the cost of equity.

- IV-17 -

APPENDIX IV

VALUATION REPORT

10.2.1.1 Modified Capital Asset Pricing Model

Modified CAPM, as applied to this valuation analysis, can be summarized as follows:

Re = Rf + Beta × ERP + RPs + RPu

Where

Re:

Cost of Equity;

Rf:

Risk Free Rate;

Beta:

A measure of systematic risk;

ERP:

Equity Risk Premium;

RPs:

Size Premium; and

RPu:

Specific Company Adjustment

10.2.1.2 Risk Free Rate

The risk-free rate ("Rf"), the theoretical rate of return of an investment with zero risk, was determined with reference to the current yields on government bonds of the operating markets where the SHR Group is currently operated. Ideally, the duration of the security being used as an indication of the risk-free rate should match with the horizon of the projected cash flows being discounted, which is assumed to be perpetual for the SHR Group. We have adopted the United States Generic Govt 30Y Yield (USGG30YR Index) as Rf.

10.2.1.3 Equity Risk Premium

Equity risk premium ("ERP") is the excess return required by an equity investor to compensate him for taking on relatively higher equity risks above zero risk. The result was referenced to generally calculated ERPs for similar companies as published by the renowned Professor Aswath Damodaran of New York University, best known and famous as an author of several widely-used academic and practitioner texts on valuation, corporate finance and investment management. We have adopted the US ERP of 5.96%.

10.2.1.4 Selection of the Comparable Companies

The following 10 comparable companies were selected to allow us to compute the beta and determinate Re. A general description of each of selected comparable companies has been complied as follows.

10.2.1.5 Beta and Systematic Risk

The beta coefficient is a measure of the systematic and undiversifiable risk of a security or a portfolio. Beta, when used in CAPM, is used to calculate the expected return of an asset based on its beta and expected market returns. We have obtained the betas of the comparable companies. The observed betas have been un-levered to remove the effects of financial leverage, and then the median un-levered beta has been re-levered.

VALUATION REPORT

After re-levering the median un-levered beta by the market leverage ratio, the re-levered beta is determined to be 1.0992. Risks relating to SHR Group's higher leverage will be later captured by the Company Specific Premium.

10.2.1.6 Size Premium

Size premium ("RPs"), over the risk premium for the market, can be calculated by subtracting the estimated return in excess of the riskless rate from the realized return in excess of the riskless rate of companies. In this valuation, we applied a size premium of in excess of the CAPM for companies classified as 9th - 10th Micro-cap in the United States. A size premium of 5.68% is adopted.

10.2.1.7 Company Specific Premium

Company specific premium ("RPu") is the unsystematic risk attributable to the specific company and aims to account for any additional risk factors specific to this valuation. Firm specific risk factors may include abnormal competition, customer concentration, poor access to capital, thin management, lack of business diversification, potential environment issue, potential litigation, narrow distribution channels, obsolete technology and dim company outlook. A company specific premium of 5.00% is adopted to address for SHR Group's highly leveraged nature, its return volatility and competitive nature of the US and global hospitality industry.

10.2.1.8 Conclusion on Cost of Equity

As such, we proceed to apply the Modified CAPM formula to conclude the Re.

10.3 Enterprise Value and Other Adjustments

The enterprise value of the Subject of Valuation is the sum of present value of the free cash flows to firm determined by the 5-year Financial Projection and the present value of the terminal value. The enterprise value is determined to be US$11,709,709, with an implied EV/EBITDA multiple of 25.3x (SHR Group) or 14.4x (SHR, LLC alone, excluding its subsidiaries). This implied EV/EBITDA multiple falls within the range of its industry peer after consideration of control, and thus is considered reasonable. Cash and cash equivalents, non-operating assets are added while external debts and non-operating liabilities are deducted to derive the equity interest of the SHR Group.

APPLICATION OF THE MARKET APPROACH

11.1

Principle of Market Approach

Under the Market Approach, the value of the Subjects of Valuation can be determined based on its (i) Most Recently Traded or Transacted Prices, (ii) Guideline Publicly Traded Comparable companies' trading multiples and, (iii) Comparable Transactions' multiples. The three valuation methods under the Market Approach are further discussed and selected below.

11.1.1 Recent Traded or Transacted Prices

Recent Traded or Transacted Prices of the exact same subject asset can provide the most objective indication of value or valuation multiple of the subject asset. Reliance on recent prices is the most intuitive way of price discovery in the marketplace under ordinary situations. The method is usually applied to value publicly traded companies and private companies with recent funding rounds on an arm's length basis. Apart observing the traded and transacted prices, further analyses on market activity have to be carried out to determine whether the subject asset can be purchased or sold in the same manner as the observed recent trades and transactions in the current marketplace.

11.1.2 Guideline Publicly Traded Comparable Method

The Guideline Publicly Traded Comparable ("GPTC") Method derives value from observing the latest trading multiples of a sufficient pool of comparable GPTC companies ("GPTC Companies"). The GPTC Companies are selected based on their proximities to similar business models, geographic exposure, risks and future prospects. The trading multiples are determined from dividing the market capitalisations (or enterprise values) of the GPTC

- IV-23 -

APPENDIX IV

VALUATION REPORT

Companies by some identified value-driving financial or industry-specific indicators, such as revenue, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA"), net profit, book equity, as of the Valuation Date.

11.1.3 Comparable Transactions Method

The Comparable Transactions Method ("GTM") drives value from observing the acquisition multiples at which sizable stakes of the similar companies were transacted between independent and informed willing buyers and sellers. Similar to the GPTC Method, the GTM determines the acquisition multiples from dividing the considerations transferred in comparable acquisitions by the relevant value-driving financial or industry-specific indicators. Application of GTM is typically subject to further limitations:

  • Limited occurrence of recent comparable transactions;
  • Availability and quality of public disclosure on transactions between private investors; and
  • Limited information on the arm's length nature of the transactions.

11.1.4 Concluded Method under the Market Approach

Given the above considerations, we have only accepted the Guideline Publicly Traded

Comparable Method. The following exhibit elaborates our selection and rejection reasons of the 3 methods under the Market Approach.

APPENDIX IV

VALUATION REPORT

11.3 Selection of the Valuation Metric(s)

Valuation metrics are typically presented as the market capitalisations or enterprise values over certain operating or financial results of the GPTC Companies. Once a valuation metric is selected and is computed based on the GPTC Companies, the Market Value of the Equity Interests can be subsequently computed by the following formula:

Results

Given the widely varying capital structures of the GPTC Companies, we have only considered EV multiples, and rejected equity multiples, in order to provide reliable estimates on multiples. To select the most relevant and reliable EV multiples, we have first shortlisted both the EV/EBITDA and EV/Revenue Multiples as the potential candidates. We have computed and shown below the EV/EBITDA and EV/Revenue Multiples of the 10 GPTC Companies, based on their best available historical EBITDA and Revenue in the trailing 12 months as of the Valuation Date.

11.4 Summary Statistics of the Valuation Multiples

For EV/EBITDA, we have considered 4 observations as outliers due to 1) extremely large positive results and 2) negative observations. We have excluded the said 4 observations from the final sample. The final sample retains a list of 6 observations. For EV/Revenue, we have included all the 10 observations in the final sample.

APPENDIX IV

VALUATION REPORT

We have computed the summary statistics of the EV/EBITDA and EV/Revenue respectively in the following table. Based on the results, we have considered EV/EBITDA to be a significantly more reliable than the EV/Revenue, due to the facts that the 1) EV/EBITDA multiples form a relatively narrower interquartile range between 9.98x to 13.94x, and 2) EV/EBITDA multiples produce a much lower coefficient of variance. As such, we have adopted the EV/EBITDA multiple to form our basis on conclusion of value. EV/Revenue multiple, however, is being rejected for conclusion of value.

We have proceeded to re-check whether the range of EV/Revenue multiples can still serve the purpose of reasonableness check (instead of serving the purpose of concluding the value). Back to the principles and basics of the EV/Revenue, it tends to be positively correlated to the

  • EBITDA (i.e. EBITDA Margin, or EBITDA expressed as a percentage of revenue). Intuitively, a company with higher % EBITDA should naturally be traded at a higher EV/Revenue.

SHR, LLC's historical % EBITDA had been negative in FY2017 and 2018H1, and it has become slightly positive in 2018H2 and 6.1% in 2019H1. When compared to the % EBITDA of the 10 GPTC Companies in the same periods, SHR, LLC appeared to be on the low end in FY2017 and FY2018. As such, we have completely rejected to adopt the EV/Revenue Multiple for both purposes of concluding the value and further reasonableness check, due to the fact that the acceptance of any single low-end estimate is subject to a large estimation error, as the EV/Revenue can only be concluded from one or two observations (say, adopt the lowest 0.43x or the second lowest 1.23x) and hence cannot be benefitted from the principle of central tendency in statistics.

Based on the above, we have completely rejected EV/Revenue and have solely accepted the EV/EBITDA in our valuation analysis. We have proceeded to adopt the average EV/EBITDA (i.e. 11.60x) as our basis of conclusion, before adjusting for the effects of net debts, excess assets, control and marketability issues.

APPENDIX IV

VALUATION REPORT

12. CONTROL PREMIUM

The Control Premium is the additional value attached to the controlling interest, when compared to the non-controlling interest. The additional value reflects the economic potentials that are solely available to the holder of the controlling interest. The Control Premium can be empirically determined by observing the price difference between the traded prices of listed minority shares on stock exchanges and the announced transactions price of the same companies. The per-share price differences, being the acquisition prices over the traded prices of the listed shares, reflects the premium that the purchaser is willing to pay for controlling the economic entity.

We have adopted a Control Premium of 39% with reference to the 5-year average acquisition premium in the sector of Technology Services taken from the 2019 Mergerstat Review.

We have reviewed the reasonableness of the said 39.0% Control Premium by measuring the potential benefit of controlling the SHR Group. The revenue growth rates of SHR Group in FY2017, FY2018 and 6 months ended 30 June 2019 have been 14.6%, 23.0% and 35.9% respectively. These historical growth rates are among the high ends of the 10 GPTC Companies in the same periods. Suppose the high growth of SHR Group can be reasonably sustained and extrapolated into the near future, the intrinsic value of the controlling interest shall be valued significantly above the average multiple of 11.60x we applied when deriving the equity value of the SHR Group on a non-controlling basis. The 39.0% Control Premium can effectively capture this intrinsic value from sustaining the historical high growth into the future by under an efficient management.

VALUATION REPORT

13. DISCOUNT FOR LACK OF MARKETABILITY

The Discount for Lack of Marketability ("DLOM") is the adjustment to reflect the pricing disadvantage if a security is not publicly listed or is legally restricted from selling over a certain period. A readily marketable security would have a higher value than a non-marketable security, given the common observation that a marketable security can be marketed and sold to the next potential acquirers within a much shorter period. For example, publicly traded securities can be bought and sold nearly instantaneously while shares in a private company may require a significant amount of time to identify potential buyers and complete a transaction.

We have adopted the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to derive the DLOM. Major assumptions are summarised as follows:

  • Historical volatility of 33.61%, being the peer median of the GPTC Companies.
  • Risk-freerate of 2.11%, being the US Generic Government 6 Month Yield.
  • Time to maturity of 0.5 years, being the common time to market of a matured US business.

Hence, the DLOM is determined to be 9.0%.

14. SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

We have conducted 2 sets of sensitivity analyses on the conclusion of values derived from the Income Approach and the Market Approach.

Under the Income Approach, we have identified the WACC and the Terminal Growth Rate as the two major inputs for further sensitivity analysis. Sensitivity of the Market Value against the 2 major inputs are analysed as follows.
