LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Yanzhou Finance is a state-owned enterprise wholly-owned by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Bureau of Yanzhou District of Jining City. It is principally engaged in the management of state-owned assets in Yanzhou District of Jining City and the management of government investment and financing projects. Yanzhou Finance is authorised by the People's Government of Yanzhou District, Jining City, Shandong Province, the PRC to act as the government's capital contribution representative of the Yanzhou Project and will become a shareholder of the Project Company holding 10% equity interest in the Project Company.

To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, the General Administration and Law Enforcement Bureau of Yanzhou District, Yongyue Environmental, Yanzhou Finance and their respective ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of the Company and its connected persons.

REASONS AND BENEFITS

The Company is a company incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability, the shares of which are listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange (stock code: 154). The Company is an investment holding company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in environmental protection and solid waste treatment business in the PRC. Currently, the Group invests in and operates nine solid waste treatment projects in the PRC, including eight household waste incineration power generation projects (with a total waste treatment capacity of 10,225 tonnes/day) and one hazardous and medical waste treatment project. For the year ended 31 December 2018, the Group processed 3.47 million tonnes of household waste with 888 million kWh of on-grid electricity.

The increasingly stringent national environmental protection policy and the correspondingly increased operating costs posed certain challenges to the profit growth of the Group. The Group has actively negotiated with local government departments in respect of the alteration and/or expansion works of the existing waste incineration plants and increased capital investment in environmental protection technology in order to create business opportunities for the Group's operating prospects and sustainable development. In addition, the Group is constantly seeking potential investment opportunities to strengthen the overall competitiveness and market position of the Group in the solid waste treatment industry.

Waste incineration power generation projects have become increasingly competitive in the market. In recent years, the market has gradually developed into county-level cities, and the scale of single plant has gradually reduced. The Yanzhou Project has a total designed treatment capacity of 1,500 tonnes/day and located in a prefecture-level city. It is one of a few large-scale waste incineration power generation projects in Shandong Province. Not only can it increase the total capacity of the Group in terms of solid waste treatment, but also of positive significance to the government, the industry and the public.

- 9 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The public-private-partnership (PPP) model was adopted and implemented in the Yanzhou Project. As a strategic partner, Yongyue Environmental will assist the Project Company to coordinate with the Yanzhou government to strive for the solid implementation of preferential policies in order to further reduce the costs of the project.

PROJECT RISKS

Risk of project competition: According to the unified deployment of the Jining Municipal Government, the Yanzhou Project will be included in the overall planning of the construction of household waste-to-energy projects in Jining City. The principles of proximity and convenience shall be applied to avoid overlapping setup, hence there is no competitor.

Risk of waste supply: The General Administration and Law Enforcement Bureau of Yanzhou District is responsible for the coordination in Jining City and the districts and counties therein to provide domestic waste that meets the designed scale of the incineration plant for the Yanzhou Project. In the event that the factory input amount of waste for the Yanzhou Project in the current month falls below 1,500 tonnes per day due to reasons on the part of the General Administration and Law Enforcement Bureau of Yanzhou District or unsatisfactory coordination, compensation shall be payable to the Project Company. Therefore, the risk of project waste supply volume is controllable.

Policy risk: The national standard waste-to-energy benchmark electricity tariff of RMB0.65 per kWh in the Yanzhou Project has a significant impact on the economic benefits of the Project. Any changes in such policy will pose risk to the entire industry nationwide. The Yanzhou Project can control and mitigate the associated risk through adjusting the waste subsidy fee by using the tariff adjustment mechanism in the Yanzhou Project Contract.

FINANCIAL AND OTHER EFFECTS

Upon establishment of the Project Company, it will become a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, in which 75% of equity interest will be held by the Company, and its financial results, assets and liabilities will be consolidated into the accounts of the Group.

- 10 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

It is expected that upon the entering into of the Yanzhou Project Contract and the establishment of the Project Company, there will not be any immediate effect on the earnings of the Group. The impact on the future earnings of the Group will depend on, among other things, the construction profit during the construction period and the operating results of the Project Company. The Directors expect that the entering into of the Yanzhou Project and the establishment of the Project Company will have a positive impact on the future earnings of the Group upon the commencement of commercial operation of the Yanzhou Project.

The capital commitment of the Company to the Project Company will be funded in cash from internal resources of the Group.

As disclosed in the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2019, the unaudited consolidated total assets and total liabilities of the Group as at 30 June 2019 were approximately HK$8,916,000,000 and HK$5,843,000,000, respectively. The establishment of the Project Company and the investment in the Yanzhou Project with a total investment amount of approximately RMB808,214,600 (equivalent to approximately HK$904,691,000) will increase both the total assets and total liabilities of the Group, and the gearing ratio (a ratio of total liabilities to total assets) of the Group will increase accordingly.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios calculated with reference to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the capital commitment (including construction land fee) of the Project Company to be established by the Company under the Yanzhou Project Contract exceed 25% but are less than 100%, the entering into of the Yanzhou Project Contract and the transactions contemplated thereunder constitute a major transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and are subject to the reporting, announcement and shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules, (i) no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a general meeting for the approval of the Yanzhou Project Contract and the transactions contemplated thereunder; and (ii) written approval of the Yanzhou Project Contract and the transactions contemplated thereunder having been obtained from a Shareholder or a closely allied group of Shareholders (who together hold more than 50% of the issued Shares giving the right to attend and vote at a general meeting), the Shareholders' approval may be obtained by way of written Shareholders' approval instead of convening a general meeting.

- 11 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

To the best knowledge of the Company having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder has a material interest in the Yanzhou Project Contract and the transactions contemplated thereunder. Accordingly, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a general meeting for the approval of the Yanzhou Project Contract and the transactions contemplated thereunder. As at the date of this circular, BEHL and Idata, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BEHL, are interested in 17,445,000 Shares and 738,675,000 Shares, respectively, and form a closely allied group of Shareholders holding an aggregate of 756,120,000 Shares (representing approximately 50.4% of the total number of Shares in issue). As BEHL and Idata do not have any material interest in the Yanzhou Project Contract and the transactions contemplated thereunder other than through their interests in the Shares, and the Company has obtained written approval from BEHL and Idata, no extraordinary general meeting of the Company will be convened for the purpose of approving the Yanzhou Project Contract and the transactions contemplated thereunder pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules.

RECOMMENDATIONS

None of the Directors has a material interest in the Yanzhou Project Contract and the transactions contemplated thereunder or is required to abstain from voting on the Board resolutions for considering and approving the Yanzhou Project Contract and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the Yanzhou Project Contract has been entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company and on normal commercial terms, and the terms of the Yanzhou Project Contract and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

If the Yanzhou Project Contract and the transactions contemplated thereunder are required to be proposed at the general meeting of the Company for consideration and approval, the Board recommends the Shareholders to approve the same.

APPENDIX II BUSINESS VALUATION REPORT OF THE YANZHOU PROJECT

3 Valuation Methodology

There are three generally accepted valuation approaches in this valuation. The valuation approaches are sourced from International Valuation Standards 105 - Valuation Approaches and Methods.

3.1 Cost Approach

The cost approach, (or know as asset approach), takes an asset-based prospective rather than a market-oriented prospective. It requires valuing the assets on an individual basis to add up to the total values of assets.

Under this approach, the values of individual components or parts of the subject asset is estimated by valuers on an itemised basis, thus arriving at the valuation of the subject asset. This approach provides an indication of value by calculating the current replacement or reproduction cost of an asset and making deductions for any value deterioration factors and all other relevant forms of obsolescence.

The cost approach should be used as the primary basis for a valuation under the following circumstances:

  • the individual components or parts of the subject asset can be clearly identified. Such components or parts generate economic benefit by themselves and require few management or operation; or
  • market participants would be able to recreate an asset with substantially the same utility as the subject asset, and the asset could be recreated quickly; or
  • the basis of value being used is fundamentally based on replacement cost, such as reinstatement value.

APPENDIX II BUSINESS VALUATION REPORT OF THE YANZHOU PROJECT

3.2 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. When reliable, verifiable and relevant market information is available, the market approach is the preferred valuation approach.

The market approach should be used as the primary basis for a valuation under the following circumstances:

  • the asset has recently been sold in a transaction appropriate for consideration under the basis of value; or
  • the asset or substantially similar assets are actively publicly traded; or
  • there are frequent or recent observable transactions in substantially similar assets.

3.3 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.

The income approach should be used as the primary basis for a valuation under the following circumstances:

  • the income-producing ability of the asset is the critical element affecting value from a market participant perspective; or
  • reliable projections of the amount and timing of future income are available for the subject asset, but there are few, if any, relevant market comparables.

II - 4

APPENDIX II BUSINESS VALUATION REPORT OF THE YANZHOU PROJECT

3.4 Selection of Valuation Methodology Discounted Cash-flowMethod

We have selected the income approach as our valuation methodology. Specifically, we have chosen the discounted cash-flow ("DCF") method, which is premised on the concept that the value of an entity is based on the present value of all future cash flows to the shareholders. To derive the present value of future cash flows, an appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate must be determined. Cash flows generated by the entity must also be forecasted, going out far enough into the future until an assumed stabilization occurs for the assets being appraised. This methodology assumes that the forecasted income or cash-flow will not necessarily be stable in the near term but will stabilize in the future.

4 Financial Forecast - Subject Project

Forecast Period

In this valuation, the whole concession period of the Subject Project is 30 years, and the effective operation period is 27 years. The projection is prepared accordingly.

Financial Forecasts adjusted for Inflation

The forecasts provided by the management were not adjusted for inflation. Hence, we have adjusted the majority of the revenue and costs forecasts with a 3.0% annual inflation rate.

Production Capacity

As advised by the management and based on the designed capacity, the Subject Project is expected to have a treatment volume of 1,500 tonnes of waste per day.

II - 5

APPENDIX II BUSINESS VALUATION REPORT OF THE YANZHOU PROJECT

Revenue

Total revenue of the Subject Project consists of the sales of electricity to the province's power company and the fees received from treating household waste.

Electricity Generation: According to the "Circular on Improving the Pricing Policy for Waste Incineration-power Generation" promulgated by the National Development and Reform Commission ("NDRC") in March 2012, the Subject Project will receive inflation adjusted RMB0.65 per kWh of electricity provided to the power grid. The amount of electricity generated per year is expected to increase til 478 kWh per tonne, due to an improvement in the heating value of waste, caused by more effective pre-treatment procedures of waste.

Waste Treatment: The other source of revenue of the Subject Project is from subsidies by the local government for the treatment of household waste. The Subject Project is expected to have a waste treatment capacity of 1,500 tonnes/day for the life of the Subject Project.

Costs

As advised by the management, the costs related to the business includes raw material fees, coal and operational expenses, treatment fees for leachate, slag and gas, repair and maintenance fees, wages and other administrative expenses.

Income Tax

As advised by the management and in accordance with the relevant tax laws in the PRC, the Subject Project is subject to standard corporate tax rate of 25% per annum.

Capital Expenditure

Based on our discussion with the management, capital expenditure of the maintenance of operational equipment is estimated to be RMB8,000,000 once in every five years.

II - 6

APPENDIX II BUSINESS VALUATION REPORT OF THE YANZHOU PROJECT

5 Discount Rate

We adopted the weight average cost of capital (the "WACC") as the benchmark discount rate in valuing the Value-in-use of the Subject Project. WACC comprises two components: cost of equity and cost of debt. Cost of equity was developed using Capital Asset Pricing Model (the "CAPM"). The CAPM states that an investor requires excess returns to compensate systematic risks and an efficient market provides no excess return for other risks. Cost of debt was developed with reference to the long-term prime lending rate.

Our determined WACC for the Subject Project is 8.4%.

We have selected a group of comparable companies listed on stock exchanges to provide a reasonable reference in order to evaluate the industry's beta and capital structure used. Our selection criteria are that the comparable companies should:

  • Primarily be engaged in waste treatment, power generation, wastewater treatment, or related renewable energy concession projects;
  • Have their primary operations in an environment similar to the Subject Project; and
  • Information on the peer firms must be extracted from a reliable source.

REPORT FROM REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS ON THE DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW FORECAST IN CONNECTION WITH THE VALUATION OF JINING YANZHOU HOUSEHOLD WASTE INCINERATION POWER GENERATION PPP PROJECT

(濟寧市兗州區生活垃圾焚燒發電PPP項目)

Dear Sirs,

We have been engaged to report on the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations of the discounted cash flow forecast (the "Forecast") on which the valuation dated 5 February 2020 prepared by CHFT Advisory and Appraisal Limited in respect of Jining Yanzhou Household Waste Incineration Power Generation PPP Project(濟寧市兗州區生活垃圾焚燒發電PPP項目)(the "Project") as at 31 December 2019 is based. The valuation is set out in the circular of Beijing Enterprises Environment Group Limited (the "Company") dated 5 February 2020 (the "Circular") in connection with the acquisition of the Project. The valuation based on the Forecast is regarded by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited as a profit forecast under paragraph 14.61 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules").

II - 14

APPENDIX II BUSINESS VALUATION REPORT OF THE YANZHOU PROJECT

Directors' responsibilities

The directors of the Company (the "Directors") are solely responsible for the Forecast. The Forecast has been prepared using a set of bases and assumptions (the "Assumptions"), the completeness, reasonableness and validity of which are the sole responsibility of the Directors. The Assumptions are set out on page II-11 of the Circular.

Our Independence and Quality Control

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA"), which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behavior.

Our firm applies Hong Kong Standard on Quality Control 1 Quality Control for Firms that Perform Audits and Reviews of Financial Statements, and Other Assurance and Related Services Engagements , and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Reporting Accountants' responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations of the Forecast based on our work. The Forecast does not involve the adoption of accounting policies.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised) Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that we plan and perform our work to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether, so far as the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations are concerned, the Directors have properly compiled the Forecast in accordance with the Assumptions adopted by the Directors. Our work consisted primarily of checking the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations of the Forecast prepared based on the Assumptions made by the Directors. Our work is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

II - 15

We are not reporting on the appropriateness and validity of the Assumptions on which the Forecast are based and thus express no opinion whatsoever thereon. Our work does not constitute any valuation of the Project. The Assumptions used in the preparation of the Forecast include hypothetical assumptions about future events and management actions that may or may not occur. Even if the events and actions anticipated do occur, actual results are still likely to be different from the Forecast and the variation may be material. Our work has been undertaken for the purpose of reporting solely to you under paragraph 14.62(2) of the Listing Rules and for no other purpose. We accept no responsibility to any other person in respect of our work, or arising out of or in connection with our work.

Opinion

Based on the foregoing, in our opinion, so far as the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations of the Forecast is concerned, the Forecast has been properly compiled in all material respects in accordance with the Assumptions adopted by the Directors.
