LETTER FROM THE BOARD

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL AND THE USE OF PROCEEDS

Upon Completion, the Group is expected to record an unaudited gain on the Disposal of approximately RMB26,246,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$28,346,000). Such unaudited gain is estimated based on gross proceeds from the Disposal of RMB161,049,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$173,933,000) less the net asset value of the Disposal Group of approximately RMB32,387,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$34,978,000) as at 30 April 2020, and after deducting the Vendor's Loans of approximately RMB46,956,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$50,712,000), and the expenses directly attributable to the Disposal in aggregate of approximately RMB55,460,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$59,897,000), which includes the selling commission and expenses, the Project Debt II and the Project Debt III, and the maximum amount of compensation under the Third Parties Agreements. The actual amount of gain on the Disposal to be recorded by the Group will depend on the net asset value of the Disposed Company as at the Completion Date and the final amount to be settled for Project Debt II, Project Debt III and compensation under the Third Parities Agreements, therefore may be different from the amount mentioned above, and will be subject to review by the auditors of the Company.

Principal assets of the Disposed Company are the Land and the properties involved in the Project. As a result of the Disposal, such assets will be deconsolidated from the Group's consolidated statement of financial position upon Completion. On the assumption that Completion has taken place on 30 April 2020, the carrying amounts of the properties to be deducted from the total assets of the Group upon Completion are approximately RMB149,029,000. On the other hand, the Group is expected to receive the net proceeds from the Disposal which are estimated to be of approximately RMB87,961,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$94,998,000) and that will increase the Group's total assets by the same amount. Similarly, liabilities of the Disposed Company will be deconsolidated from the Group's consolidated statement of financial position upon Completion, it is expected that the total liabilities of the Group will be reduced by the carrying amounts of total liabilities of the Disposed Company at the date of Completion. The carrying amounts of total liabilities of the Disposed Company as at 30 April 2020 as shown in the Group's latest unaudited financial statements was approximately RMB119,773,000 (including bank loan of RMB45,000,000). Save for the aforesaid effects arising from the Disposal, the Disposal does not have other material effect on the earnings, assets and liabilities of the Group.

The Board intends to apply the net proceeds from the Disposal (being the gross proceeds less Project Debt II, Project Debt III, the maximum amount of compensation under the Third Parties Agreements together with the Payments to be returned and the other expenses directly attributable to the Disposal) of approximately RMB87,961,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$94,998,000) as general working capital of the Group and for potential acquisitions and investments as and when suitable opportunity arises.

- 12 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The Group is principally engaged in (i) the provision of water supply and sewage treatment services; (ii) the construction of water supply and sewage treatment infrastructure; (iii) the exploitation and sale of new energy and renewable energy projects; and (iv) property investment and development.

The Land was acquired by the Disposed Company through public tender in 2016 and it was expected that the Project would provide the Group with new research and development facilities as well as additional office space, and also additional income stream from leasing or sale of the premises. The Project was originally expected to complete in or around June 2019. However, due to certain internal issues of the Contractor, the construction progress of the Project had been substantially delayed. The management of the Disposed Company decided to look for replacement contractor to continue with the Project. As mentioned in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2019, the Project was under construction and was expected to complete in June 2020. However due to the outbreak of COVID-19, the construction progress is expected to be further delayed.

The Group expects that additional costs will be incurred from the prolonged development of the Project in relation to its operation and the project development. The additional operating costs is expected to be approximately RMB2,964,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$3,201,000) to be incurred from worker's wage, expenses for renting temporary facilities, water and electricity cost, security and cleaning expenses and office expenses. The additional project development costs is expected to be approximately RMB10,266,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$11,087,000) to be incurred from compensation for suspension in construction, expenses for replacement of the fence and facilities, renewal costs in relation to the Project, costs relating to the maintenance before resuming construction and the compensation under the Third Parties Agreements (the maximum compensation amount under the Third Parties Agreements of approximately RMB5,289,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$5,712,000) is accounted as an expense to the Disposal).

In view of the expected additional costs to be incurred for the prolonged development of the Project, the deteriorating financial results and the significant level of liabilities of the Disposed Company, as well as the expected gain on the Disposal as mentioned in the paragraph headed ''FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL AND THE USE OF PROCEEDS'' in this circular, the Company considers that the Disposal is an opportunity for the Company to realise its investments in the Disposal Group and strengthen the Group's liquidity. The net proceeds from the Disposal will make a positive contribution to the cashflow and financial position of the Group and it is expected that the net proceeds will be used by the Group as general working capital and for potential acquisitions and investments.

  1. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS

After experiencing the ''First Policy Year'' in 2015, the sky-rocketing industrial development in 2016, the critical point of the ''13th Five-year Plan'' in 2017 and the immense change of the environmental protection development from 2018 to 2019, the ''Decision'' of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th National People's Congress of the Communist Party expressly specified the ''implementation of the philosophy of lucid waters and lush mountains being invaluable assets, and persistence in the basic national policy of resources conservation and environmental protection''. 2019 was a critical year for ''determination to fight the battle of pollution prevention and treatment'' and also the year of formulating the ''framework of modern environmental treatment system''. Along with the transition from ''point'' to ''surface'' of environmental treatment and the progression from single project treatment to large scale project treatment, the mass monitoring layout of water, land, solid waste and exhaust was formed. In the new layout, the environmental protection industry entered an era of comprehensive and in-depth cultivation of policy from the era of policy seeding. At the National Financial Work Conference in 2019, it was explicitly mentioned to enhance the investment in environmental protection and put further focus on three environmental protection battles, namely blue sky, clear water and clean land. In the future, the investment in environmental protection will keep growing. Currently, the investment in the solid waste treatment industry accounts for less than 15% of the overall investment in the environmental industry in the PRC. Consolidating the development prospect of the solid waste industry, the industry and market prospects are still promising whether it is for demands for storage or demands for volume increase. Under the general strategy of national environmental treatment, the period where traditional water businesses are driven by capital scale is over. The construction of ''smart water business'' that aims to manage the maximum utilization of water and the effective usage of water is the most important goal for the current water management work. The return of water service era and the arrival of smart water business have a significant meaning for the actualization of sustainable urban development and enhancement of comprehensive urban competitiveness.

Business Review

The Group has the following major business activities during the year ended 31 December 2019:

  1. Results of Water Sector Exceeding the Expected Growth while Business Development Entered a New Stage

Each company of the water sector maintained safe production throughout the year. As the Group unremittingly fulfil the responsibility of ensuring safe water for the use by residents, the Group conscientiously provides services at the front-line of urban water supply and sewage treatment. In 2019, all companies not only overachieved the performance target for the beginning of the year, but also continued to improve the service philosophy on the existing basis and enhanced the use of intelligent water services while implementing business diversification, thereby enabling the overall business of the water sector to enter a new stage. Yingtan Water Supply Group Co., Ltd. (''Yingtan Water Supply'') successfully took over Yingtan Railway Water Plant

(鷹潭鐵路水廠)and adopted a new safe water supply system, ''Three Plants Linkage''(三廠聯動). With the total water supply volume increased from 7,000 tons/ day to 15,000 tons/day and the expansion items of water quality inspection stations being 69, the water quality inspection capability was enhanced effectively. The Group widely promoted NB-IOTsmart water meters, while cooperating with Hangzhou Guode Company*(杭州國德公司)to develop the ''one picture(一張圖)'' dispatching and controlling system. The upgrade of 6,000 smart water meters was completed, which basically actualized a full coverage of intellectualization of water meters below DN20. The upgrade of large diameter smart water meters with DN40 and above was initiated. It received a supporting fund of RMB1.04 million from the province 03 special projects. Yichun Water Industry Co., Ltd. (''Yichun Water'')(宜春水務集團 有限公司)has successfully explored new areas of water supply business with substantial breakthroughs in the management of secondary water supply facilities, 11 small communities signing trust agreements and charging water fees from individual users for drinkable water. In September 2019, a water affairs group named ''Yichun Water Industry Group Co., Ltd.''(宜春水務集團)was established, with Yichun Water Industry Co., Ltd as the parent company. At the same time, in the ''Report on the Evaluation of the Business Environment of Yichun City and the Work Evaluation of 'Assessment of Authorities and Positions' by Enterprises and the Public in 2019''(《關 於2019年宜春市營商環境評價暨企業、群眾「評機關、評崗位」工作評議情況的通 報》)issued by the Office of the People's Government of Yichun City, it acquired the first place of the responsible units (service sector) for optimizing the business environment of the whole city. Yichun Fangke Sewage Treatment Company Limited* (''Yichun Fangke'') (宜春市方科污水處理有限公司)successfully signed a BOT concession right supplementary contract with the local government. The construction for upgrading, reconstruction and capacity expansion projects of the sewage treatment

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

plants in the town center for domestic sewage was completed smoothly, and was inspected and put into operation with sewage treatment volume of 140,000 tons/day and the effluent quality reaching the National Class IA Standard. Moreover, we applied for the national special environmental protection funds of RMB16 million and local special loans of RMB20 million in 2019 to alleviate the financial pressure on the construction of upgrading and capacity expansion projects and ensure the financial stability of the Company. The construction of engineering projects of Linyi Fenghuang Water Industry Co. Ltd. developed rapidly, attaining new highs in operating income. The major engineering and facility installment of Jinxiang sewage treatment projects of Jining City Haisheng Water Treatment Company Limited* (''Jining Haisheng'')(濟寧 市海晟水務有限公司)had all been commissioned and were waiting for inspection. Jining City Haiyuan Water Treatment Company Ltd.* (''Jining Haiyuan'')(濟寧市海 源水務有限公司)and Foshan City Gaoming Huaxin Sewage Treatment Company Ltd.* (''Foshan Gaoming'') (佛山市高明區華信污水處理有限公司)optimized the treatment techniques which could complete the sewage treatment with the same quality and quantity and lowered costs, and ensure the effluent can meet the quality standards 100%.

  1. The results of new eco-energy segment reaching new highs and strong combination of strategic cooperation and internal driving force

The new eco-energy segment achieved transcendental development. The on-grid power generation of New China Water (Nanjing) Renewable Resources Investment Company Limited* (''New China Water (Nanjing)'')(新中水(南京)再生資源投資有 限公司)and its subsidiaries (collectively, ''New China Water Group'') was 708 million kWh, representing a year-on-year growth of 24.32%, and the results reached a historical high. In the first half of the year, the development of 3 projects, namely, Lingao Hainan, Gaizhou Liaoning and Lianyuan Hunan, was completed, and 6 projects, namely Hainan Sanya, Hubei Anlu, Shandong Laizhou, Liaoning Haicheng, Dongyang Project and Guangzhou Huadu, commenced operation with newly added power generation totaling 18MW. As of the end of December 2019, New China Water Group had a total of 37 domestic waste landfill gas resource utilization projects with a total designed power generation installed capacity of 147.8MW, maintaining its industrial leading position.

In 2019, New China Water Group explored potentials internally and externally while reducing costs and enhancing efficiency. Financial leases such as Qianhai Xingbang(前海興邦), Ping An Leasing(平安租賃), Agricultural Bank of China, Jiangsu Financial Leasing(江蘇金融租賃), Hitachi (China)(日立中國), etc. were introduced and a strategic cooperation with BOC & UTRUST(中銀粵財)was reached, which provided positive capital cycle for the project development. In respect of internal management, point-to-point revitalization of idle equipment and promotion of unified procurement of frequently-used machine parts and fuel for the project were

carried out, and they established their own drilling teams and a pre-processing equipment system, which substantially reduced the expenditure for equipment of new construction projects, procurement unit cost and construction costs.

  1. City-industryintegration segment leaping in terms of breakthrough and growth speed

As a cluster area for the space big data industry, Nanjing Space Big Data Industry Park(南京空間大數據產業園)project pioneered the introduction of park management service platform and actualized efficient and scientific management of the intellectual park through the informatized management on the platform. The subject constructions of projects in December all reached the cap with marketing and sales target achievement rate reaching 112% and return target achievement rate reaching 81.5%.

In addition, the businesses of Zhongkuang Construction Group Co. Ltd(''Zhongkuang Group''), Yingtan City Hongzhu Trading Co. Limited''Hongzhu Trading''), and Yingtan Xiang Rui Property Limited*''Xiang Rui Property'')(鷹潭 祥瑞置業有限公司)under Yingtan Water Supply Group made steady progress with stable growth of business results throughout the year. In which, Zhongkuang Group changed from the original joint venture development model to self-operation model and acquired remarkable results. Xiang Rui Property successfully upgraded from Class 4 to Class 3 of Qualifications of Property Developers, laying a solid foundation for the real estate business of the company. In April 2019, Yingtan Water Supply Group invested in the development and construction of 2 real estate projects in Yugan County, namely Sanshui Guobinfu Project and Sanshui California Sunshine Project. In merely 8 months, the real estate business team in Yingtan demonstrated their efficiency and professionalism from land bidding and construction to sales and return. Sanshui Guobinfu Project and Sanshui California Sunshine Real Estate Project in Yugan County achieved the stage operation targets with satisfying sales results. As of the end of December, sell-through rate and return ratio both exceeded 70%.

Outlook and Future Plans

During Spring Festival in 2020, novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) epidemic spread rapidly across the Greater China area. The central government and the local government waged an epidemic prevention battle racing against time. The Ministry of Ecology and Environment successively published relevant policy documents in respond to this epidemic. The epidemic imposed a greater challenge on the international situation which was rather unpromising to begin with, and caused impact on the PRC. Enterprises in the environmental protection industry also encountered new challenges. To proactively response to the requirements of national and local government policies, the Group thoroughly implemented the epidemic prevention mechanism and adhered to the principle of ensuring

- 20 -

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

the safety and health of all employees to the maximum extend by adjusting the timeline of work resumption, making early preparation work for production resumption, reasonably arranging employees to take leaves or work from home, and endeavoring to safeguard the stable development of three major business segments, namely water service, new eco-energy and city-industry integration, in order to minimize the impact of the epidemic on the Group's business and thereby ensure normal operation. We believe that opportunities lie within the crisis. As long as we persist in our fundamental conception with unwavering determination, we can eventually triumph in this battle. To continue the Group's development, the following future plans will continue to be implemented:

1. Expanding along the upstream and downstream of industrial chain and moving towards the new era of the water supply industry

The water supply segment, as a public utility, is a policy-oriented industry. Currently, the development of water supply industry tends to be saturated, and the management system of water resources is strict. The industry has entered into a stage of stable development. Driven by the acceleration of urbanization, the total volume of sewage discharge has been increasing every year, and the sewage treatment industry has entered into a stage of rapid growth. In the face of challenges, the traditional operation model of water supply proactively expands along the upstream and downstream of industrial chain. The realization of strategic corporate transformation is the only way to move towards the new era of the water supply industry.

  1. To strongly support the companies in the water supply segment to develop industries other than their principal activities, and to strengthen the construction of the reconstruction works of water supply pipeline network and related ancillary works for water supply and water connection projects;
  2. To continue the implementation of smart water service, to apply a series of smart water supply facilities such as smart water meter, smart manhole cover, smart fire hydrant, smart pump room, etc., and to realize district metering of water supply and implementation of online business. In reliance on the ''One Picture(一張圖)'' dispatching system which was launched online, to actualize the establishment of the education base for smart water supply service jointly by Yingtan Water Supply and Sanchuan Wisdom(三 川智慧);
  3. In recent years, under the State's ''One belt, One road'' initiative and the establishment of various cooperation mechanisms on the national level, we also identify the immense market potentials in the water supply industry. While keeping its foothold of existing smart water service technologies and maintaining international perspective, the Group will deeply explore the market demand for water treatment in the various countries along the route

- 21 -

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

and keep making innovations. To strive for its slice of ''cake'' in the trend of international production capacity cooperation, the Group utilized its extensive experience in management and implementation of overseas projects in order to develop in a win-win situation.

2. Consolidating existing business resources and steadily promoting overseas environmental protection business

In recent years, the overall direction of the relevant policies launched in the solid waste industry revolves around the ''three actions'' principle, namely, reduction of volume, recycling of resources and harmless treatment, which specify the direction of the acceleration of marketization. Currently, the volume of solid waste generation remains high, and there is still a relatively large gap for the treatment of general industrial solid wastes, hazardous wastes and municipal household wastes, and thus the future of the solid waste industry will remain prosperous.

  1. Consolidating and developing the existing domestic business resources and steadily promoting overseas environmental protection business;
  2. Keeping its foothold in environmental protection and explore other businesses in the environmental protection industry in order to expand its scope of business;
  3. Broadening the financing channels while introducing new strategic investments.

3. Sustaining city-industry integration development and exploring the value of urban spaces

In the present, the city-industry integration model, which takes the city as the

carrier and industry as the safeguarding basis, has gained growing concern. City- industry integration does not only drive the value enhancement of urban spaces but also provides new ideas for coordination development of industry, city and residents.

  1. To speed up subsequent business promotion and sales works of the Nanjing Space Big Data Industry Park project;
  2. By gathering its institutional advantages, Zhongkuang Group devotes great effort to develop markets in Guangdong-HongKong-Macau Greater Bay Area. It plans to undertake at least 2 influential engineering projects in Nanchang and Northeast Jiangxi area in order to achieve breakthrough progress; build a team of outstanding contractors, project managers and quality suppliers and formulate preferential policies for joining the team in order to attract more construction talents to join the Company; continue to

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

strengthen the development of self-employed model to carry out the project co-investment model for the core management personnel of the Company in order to renew and expand the ways of self-employment and achieve flexibility and diversity;

3. To complete the construction of Yugan Sanshui Guobinfu Project and Sanshui California Sunshine Project, to actualize the refund delivery of all properties and shops; to facilitate the smooth progress of the construction of Sanshui(三水金麟府)Project. Based on the successful examples of real estate projects in Yugan, to foster the development and investments of real estate projects in surrounding counties and towns in order to stimulate the vitality of urban industries, enhance city function and improve living environment.

Looking forward to 2020, the nationwide suspension of work and production due to the COVID-19 outbreak has inevitably caused delays to some extent in the Group's launch of new properties and its commencement and completion plans. In view of tremendous risks inside and outside China, increased external uncertainties and destabilising factors, there was downward pressure on the property market. However, with the support of reasonable monetary easing and proactive fiscal policies by the Chinese government, it is believed that the great resilience in China's economy will enable China to step out of the trough caused by the COVID-19. Pursuant to the government policy, the Group has adjusted its project launch strategy, shifting away from centralized sales launch model. At the same time, the Group has made proactive preparations for adversity in light of the current conditions by organizing multiple forms of online marketing, including live streaming, proprietary sales platform wechat mini program, mobile app, and major third-party platforms to facilitate its consumers' housing transaction. When the impact of the COVID-19 is gradually eliminated according to the current good trend, it is expected that the property market should stabilize in 2020.

4. Actively explore more financing channels for further expansion Group's core businesses

To ensure the sustainable development of the Group and fulfil the capital demands during the development, the Group took the initiative to expand its financing channels and enhanced its funding capability including but not limited to issue of new bonds, issue of new shares, loans financing with various domestic and international commercial banks so as to make well preparation for the future development of our projects. The Group managed to maintain a healthy financial condition with a reasonable gearing ratio.

- 23 -

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

The Group will always be committed to achieving its business philosophy of ''gaining government confidence, citizen satisfaction, shareholders' recognition and staff contentment''. In 2020, there is no doubt a challenging year but with the Group's solid financial position and diversified income streams, the Group is full of confidence to overcome difficulties and steadily develop its three major businesses in water supply, new eco-energy and cityindustry integration. Meanwhile, it will proactively develop other businesses in the upstream and downstream of water supply and environmental protection industries as well as overseas businesses in order to optimize its strength and expand its scale and to break new ground for the Group. The Board will continue to adopt a prudent approach in implementing the Group's stated strategies for the benefit of the Group and its Shareholders.
