INFORMATION OF THE CONVERTIBLE BONDS

The Convertible Bonds are 7% redeemable fixed coupon convertible bonds issued by Burwill to the Seller in the aggregate principal amount of US$9 million. There is no restriction on subsequent sale of the Convertible Bonds and the Seller has obtained prior consent from Burwill on the proposed transfer. The maturity of the Convertible Bonds does not affect their transferability.

Based on the accounts of the Seller for the financial year ended 31 December 2018, the financial information relating to the Convertible Bonds was as follows:

	For
	the year
	ended
	31 December
	2018
	RMB
Interest income	2,127,000
Fair value gain of financial assets
at fair value through profit or loss	4,865,000
FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL

As at 30 June 2019, the book value of the Convertible Bonds was approximately RMB72,255,000 . Based on the consideration of US $ 9,227,000 (approximately RMB63,432,000), assuming the Completion takes place on 31 December 2020, the Company is expected to recognise a loss of approximately RMB8,823,000 from the Disposal. The estimate of loss is for illustration purpose only and subject to adjustments that may be made during audit in the future.

USE OF PROCEEDS FROM THE DISPOSAL

The proceeds from the Disposal shall be applied towards the Group's working capital.

R E A S O N S F O R A N D B E N E F I T S O F E N T E R I N G I N T O T H E T R A N S F E R AGREEMENT

The Convertible Bonds were due on 27 September 2019 and Burwill has defaulted on payment of the principal and interest. As announced by Burwill on 13 September 2019, a winding-up petition was made against Burwill and the trading of the shares of Burwill has been suspended since 19 August 2019. In view of the uncertainty in Burwill's financial position, the Directors are of the view that the Disposal will allow the Group to mitigate the loss and recover the principal amount.

Taking into account of the above factors, the Directors consider that the terms of the Disposal including the consideration, are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms, and the Disposal is in the interests of the Shareholders and the Company as a whole.
