12

The principal assumptions upon which the valuation was based are set out below:

  1. Basic assumptions
    1. Transaction assumption. The transaction assumption is that all assets to be appraised are in the process of transaction (which means that the Target Assets are assumed to be the subject of a transaction as at the Valuation Benchmark Date), and the Valuer will make estimation in a simulated market according to the transaction conditions (among others) of assets to be appraised.
    2. Open market assumption. The open market assumption is that the Target Assets may be traded freely in a highly competitive market and the price of which is determined based on the judgment of both independent trading parties over the value of assets under certain supply and demand conditions. An open market refers to a market which is highly competitive with various buyers and sellers. In the open market, both parties of a transaction are equal, which means they are given the opportunity and time to acquire sufficient market information. Buyers and sellers are supposed to be acting voluntarily and rationally rather than being coerced or confined during the transaction.
    3. Assumption on continuing operation. Assumption on continuing operation refers to the assumption that the operating activities of the Target Companies will continue and will not be suspended or terminated in the foreseeable future.
  2. Specific assumptions
    1. There will be no significant changes in the relevant prevailing laws, regulations and policies as well as macro-economic situation of the country and place where the Target Companies reside, significant changes in the political, economic or social environment in the regions in which the parties to the transaction are located, or material adverse effects arising from other unforeseeable factors and force majeure.
    2. It is assumed that the Target Companies will have balanced cash inflows and cash outflows throughout the year based on its actual operation conditions.
    3. It is assumed that the current and future operators and managers of the Target Companies exercise due diligence, and the management of the Target Companies are competent in discharging their duties to ensure that the Target Companies are able to operate on a going concern basis, the development, production, and operation plans of which can be fulfilled as scheduled.
    4. It is assumed that the Target Companies are in full compliance with all relevant national laws and regulations, without committing any significant violation that prejudices corporate development and realisation of revenue.
    5. It is assumed that the accounting policies to be adopted by the Target Companies in the future are basically consistent with those adopted during the preparation of the Asset Valuation Reports in material aspects.
    6. It is assumed that, based on its current management approaches and standards, the Target Companies' scope and model of business will remain consistent with the current direction.

13

  1. It is assumed that there will be no material changes in the requirements currently implemented or determined to be implemented regarding the relevant interest rates, exchange rates, taxation bases and tax rates, and government levies according to national regulations.
  2. It is assumed that no other force majeure and unforeseeable factors will have a material adverse effect on the Target Companies.

China Tong Cheng has confirmed that nothing has come to its attention that the abovementioned assumptions will prove to be incorrect or invalid in respect of the Target Companies.

IV. FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES IN THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS

The Company has not conducted any equity fund raising exercises during the 12 months immediately preceding the date of this announcement.

21

  1. IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES Proposed Acquisition
    As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Proposed Acquisition in accordance with the Listing Rules exceed 25% but are less than 75%, the Proposed Acquisition constitutes a major transaction of the Company which is subject to the reporting, announcement and Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
    As at the date of this announcement, 47,570,789 A Shares, representing approximately 0.41% of the total issued share capital of the Company, are held by COSCO SHIPPING, 4,410,624,386 A Shares, representing approximately 38.00% of the total issued share capital of the Company, are held by China Shipping, and 100,944,000 H Shares, representing approximately 0.87% of the total issued share capital of the Company, are held by Ocean Fortune Investment Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of COSCO SHIPPING Investment. Therefore, COSCO SHIPPING and its associates control or are entitled to exercise control over the voting rights in respect of 4,458,195,175 A Shares and 100,944,000 H Shares, representing approximately 39.28% of the total issued share capital of the Company. COSCO SHIPPING is an indirect controlling shareholder of the Company and therefore a connected person of the Company. COSCO SHIPPING Investment is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of COSCO SHIPPING and therefore an associate of COSCO SHIPPING. Accordingly, COSCO SHIPPING Investment is a connected person of the Company. Therefore, the Proposed Acquisition also constitutes a connected transaction of the Company which is subject to the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
    CS Subscription
    China Shipping is a controlling shareholder of the Company and therefore a connected person of the Company.
    The CS Subscription constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
    Mr. Wang Daxiong, Mr. Liu Chong and Mr. Xu Hui, all being executive Directors, and Mr. Huang Jian, Mr. Liang Yanfeng and Mr. Ip Sing Chi, all being non-executive Directors, hold directorship(s) or act as senior management in COSCO SHIPPING and/or its associates, and were nominated by China Shipping to the Board. Mr. Cai Hongping, an independent non-executive Director, also serves as an external director of COSCO SHIPPING Investment. Accordingly, Mr. Wang Daxiong, Mr. Liu Chong, Mr. Xu Hui, Mr. Huang Jian, Mr. Liang Yanfeng, Mr. Ip Sing Chi and Mr. Cai Hongping have therefore abstained from voting on the relevant Board resolutions approving the Proposed Acquisition, the Proposed Non-public Issuance of A Shares and the CS Subscription. Save as aforementioned, none of the other Directors has a material interest in the Proposed Acquisition, the Proposed Non-public Issuance of A Shares and the CS Subscription. Therefore, no other Director has abstained from voting on such Board resolutions.

22

VI. IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE TAKEOVERS CODE

Application for Whitewash Waiver

As at the date of this announcement, COSCO SHIPPING (i) directly holds 47,570,789 A Shares, representing approximately 0.41% of the total issued share capital of the Company; and (ii) indirectly holds (a) through China Shipping (which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of COSCO SHIPPING), 4,410,624,386 A Shares, representing approximately 38.00% of the total issued share capital of the Company; and (b) through Ocean Fortune Investment Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of COSCO SHIPPING Investment (which is in turn an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of COSCO SHIPPING) 100,944,000 H Shares, representing approximately 0.87% of the total issued share capital of the Company. 6,900,000 H Shares, representing approximately 0.06% of the total issued share capital of the Company, are held under the Asset Management Plan voluntarily invested by Mr. Wang Daxiong, Mr. Liu Chong and Mr. Xu Hui (each of whom is an executive Director) and certain other existing and former supervisor, senior management and employees of the Company, who are considered to be acting in concert with COSCO SHIPPING. Therefore, COSCO SHIPPING and parties acting in concert with it control or are entitled to exercise control over the voting rights in respect of 4,458,195,175 A Shares and 107,844,000 H Shares, representing approximately 39.33% of the total issued share capital of the Company. Pursuant to the relevant PRC laws and regulations, the 79,627,003 A Shares, representing approximately 0.69% of the total issued share capital of the Company, repurchased and held by the Company as treasury shares for implementation of the A Share Option Incentive Scheme do not carry any voting rights, and therefore, as at the date of this announcement, COSCO SHIPPING and parties acting in concert with it control or are entitled to exercise control 39.61% of the voting rights in the Company.

Immediately following completion of the Proposed Acquisition, assuming that:

  1. the final dividend of RMB0.056 per Share (inclusive of applicable tax) of the Company will not be paid prior to the issue of the Consideration Shares and there will not be any adjustments to the issue price of the Consideration Shares of RMB2.51 per Consideration Share; and (b) there will be no change in the total issued share capital of the Company and no exercise of the Share Options since the date of this announcement save for the issue of the A Shares pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement (as supplemented by the Supplemental Agreement), the aggregate shareholding of and the aggregate voting rights held by COSCO SHIPPING and the parties acting in concert with it in the Company will increase to approximately 45.94% and approximately 46.23%, respectively, representing the maximum shareholding and voting rights held by COSCO SHIPPING and the parties acting in concert with it in the Company immediately following completion of the Proposed Acquisition based on the foregoing assumptions; and

23

  1. (a) the final dividend of RMB0.056 per Share (inclusive of applicable tax) of the Company will be paid prior to the issue of the Consideration Shares and there will not be any further adjustments to the issue price of the Consideration Shares of RMB2.46 per Consideration Share; and (b) there will be no change in the total issued share capital of the Company and no exercise of the Share Options since the date of this announcement save for the issue of the A Shares pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement (as supplemented by the Supplemental Agreement), the aggregate shareholding of and the aggregate voting rights held by COSCO SHIPPING and the parties acting in concert with it in the Company will increase to approximately 46.06% and approximately 46.35%, respectively, representing the maximum shareholding and voting rights held by COSCO SHIPPING and the parties acting in concert with it in the Company immediately following completion of the Proposed Acquisition based on the foregoing assumptions.

The difference between the percentage of shareholding and the percentage of the voting rights is due to the 79,627,003 A Shares repurchased and held by the Company as treasury shares, which do not carry any voting rights, for implementation of the A Share Option Incentive Scheme

Accordingly, upon completion of the Proposed Acquisition, pursuant to Rule 26.1 of the Takeovers Code, COSCO SHIPPING will be required to make a mandatory general offer for all the securities of the Company not already owned or agreed to be acquired by COSCO SHIPPING and parties acting in concert with it, unless the Whitewash Waiver from strict compliance with Rule 26.1 of the Takeovers Code is obtained from the Executive.

Accordingly, completion of the Proposed Acquisition is conditional upon, among other things, the Whitewash Waiver being granted by the Executive and approved by the Independent Shareholders. An application will be made by COSCO SHIPPING to the Executive for the granting of the Whitewash Waiver pursuant to Note 1 on dispensations from Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Whitewash Waiver, if granted by the Executive, will be subject to (i) the approval of the Whitewash Waiver by at least 75% of the independent votes that are cast either in person or by proxy at the EGM; and (ii) the approval of the Proposed Acquisition by more than 50% of the independent votes that are cast either in person or by proxy at the EGM as required under the Takeovers Code. The Proposed Acquisition will not proceed if the Whitewash Waiver is not obtained or if the Whitewash Waiver is not approved by the Independent Shareholders.

As at the date of this announcement, the Company does not believe that the Proposed Acquisition, the Proposed Non-public Issuance of A Shares, the CS Subscription and the Special Deal give rise to any concerns in relation to compliance with other applicable rules or regulations (including the Listing Rules). If a concern should arise after the release of this announcement, the Company will endeavor to resolve the matter to the satisfaction of the relevant authority as soon as possible but in any event before the despatch of the Circular. The Company notes that the Executive may not grant the Whitewash Waiver if the Proposed Acquisition, the Proposed Non-public Issuance of A Shares, the CS Subscription and the Special Deal do not comply with other applicable rules and regulations.

24

As at the date of this announcement, other than the 39.61% voting rights in the Company controlled by COSCO SHIPPING and parties acting in concert with it, an aggregate of 4,480,200 Share Options held by Mr. Wang Daxiong, Mr. Liu Chong and Mr. Xu Hui, the executive Directors, the Proposed Acquisition, the CS Subscription, neither COSCO SHIPPING nor parties acting in concert with it:

  1. holds, owns, controls or directs any shares, convertible securities, warrants, options or derivatives in respect of the securities in the Company;
  2. has secured an irrevocable commitment to vote in favour of or against the Proposed Acquisition, the Proposed Non-public Issuance of A Shares, the CS Subscription, the Whitewash Waiver and/or the Special Deal;

  4. has any agreement or arrangement to which COSCO SHIPPING or parties acting in concert with it is a party which relates to the circumstances in which it may or may not invoke or seek to invoke a pre-condition or a condition to the Proposed Acquisition, the Proposed Non-public Issuance of A Shares, the CS Subscription, the Whitewash Waiver and/or the Special Deal;
  5. has borrowed or lent any relevant securities (as defined in Note 4 to Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code) in the Company;
  6. save for the consideration for the issue of A Shares under the Proposed Non-public Issuance of A Shares, there is no other consideration or benefit in whatever form paid or to be paid by COSCO SHIPPING and parties acting in concert with it to the Company or any party acting in concert with it in connection with the Proposed Non-public Issuance of A Shares;
  7. save for the Consideration Shares to be issued by the Company to COSCO SHIPPING Investment under the Proposed Acquisition, there is no other consideration or benefit in whatever form paid or to be paid by the Company and parties acting in concert with it to COSCO SHIPPING or any party acting in concert with it in connection with the Proposed Acquisition;
  8. save for the Proposed Non-public Issuance of A Shares, there is no understanding, arrangement, agreement or special deal between COSCO SHIPPING or parties acting in concert with it on the one hand, and the Company and any parties acting in concert with it on the other hand; and
  9. save for the Proposed Non-public Issuance of A Shares, there is no understanding, arrangement, agreement or special deal between (1) any Shareholder; and (2)(a) COSCO SHIPPING and parties acting in concert with it; or (b) the Company, its subsidiaries or associated companies.

25

On 9 November 2020, 47,570,789 A Shares, representing approximately 0.41% of the total issued share capital of the Company, were transferred from China Shipping (a wholly-owned subsidiary of COSCO SHIPPING) to COSCO SHIPPING. Save for the entering into of the Agreement of Intent, the Acquisition Agreement, the Supplemental Agreement, the Compensation Agreement and the CS Subscription Agreement, neither COSCO SHIPPING nor any parties acting in concert with it has acquired or disposed of any voting rights of the Company or has dealt for value in any shares, convertible securities, warrants, options or derivatives in respect of the securities in the Company in the six-month period prior to and including 13 January 2021, being the date on which the Company first made an announcement in respect of the Proposed Acquisition, and up to and including the date of this announcement.

According to the enterprise and due to the traffic restriction on vehicles with other cities' license plates in urban areas of Shanghai, the company registered the three vehicles under the name of other companies to facilitate customers' commute and work convenience, but the ownership of such vehicles solely belongs to Dong Fang International Container (Qidong) Co., Ltd. The valuation has not considered the fees on the change of the driving permit and the impacts of contingent ownership disputes.

  1. As of the Valuation Benchmark Date, Dong Fang International Container (Qidong) Co., Ltd. had properties and building of 9,715.31 sq.m. on its book, but it has not applied for the housing ownership certificate and has not obtained permits on listing, approval and construction works planning permits, construction works commencement permits, construction works completion and acceptance filing documents and other approvals. For buildings without ownership certificates, appraisers determined the legal property ownership and the floor area based on relevant materials provided by the valuation target without considering subsequent fees on the application for permits and the impacts of possible fines on incomplete approval procedures.

  1. As of the Valuation Benchmark Date, the land demolition funds advanced and the land prepayment actually paid in excess of the agreed price by Dong Fang International Container (Qidong) Co., Ltd. totaled RMB87,101,600.00, which was accounted for as other receivables and other non-current assets of RMB41,936,000.00 and RMB45,165,600.00, respectively. The debtors of the above amounts are the Qidong Municipal Bureau of Finance of Jiangsu Province and the Administration Committee of the Qidong Marine Shipbuilding Industrial Park. Based on the information provided by the enterprise, relevant governments have undertaken that all amounts except for the land prepayment actually carried forward will be repaid in the form of tax refunds. There was no evidence showing the above amounts cannot be recovered on the Valuation Benchmark Date. The appraised value was determined based on the book value of the above receivables in the valuation.
  2. Based on the explanations provided by the enterprise and as of the Valuation Benchmark Date, the items No. 7 customs bonded yard and No. 20 wharf project in the breakdown of the buildings valuation of the enterprise and the item No. 2 wharf project in the breakdown of the buildings valuation of Dong Fang International Container (Qidong) Co., Ltd. belong to the same building. As the project of Dong Fang International Container (Qidong) Co., Ltd. was first approved for construction, and as the shoreline is under the berth of a public wharf under planning, the self-constructed wharf was stripped off from Dong Fang International Container (Qidong) Co., Ltd.. Dong Fang International Port (Qidong) Co., Ltd. was established to promote the project. As the construction funds preliminarily provided by Dong Fang International Container (Qidong) Co., Ltd. have not been transferred to Dong Fang International Port (Qidong) Co., Ltd., the book value of the wharf was accounted for by the two companies. Upon the confirmation by Dong Fang International Container (Qidong) Co., Ltd. and Dong Fang International Port (Qidong) Co., Ltd., the buildings applied shown as the items No. 7 customs bonded yard and No. 20 wharf project in the breakdown of the buildings valuation of Dong Fang International Container (Qidong) Co., Ltd. belong to Dong Fang International Port (Qidong) Co., Ltd.
    Based on the explanations on the ownership of the buildings jointly confirmed by Dong Fang International Container (Qidong) Co., Ltd. and Dong Fang International Port (Qidong) Co., Ltd., the appraised value of the items No. 7 customs bonded yard and No. 20 wharf project in the breakdown of the buildings valuation of Dong Fang International Container (Qidong) Co., Ltd. was accounted in the books of Dong Fang International Port (Qidong) Co., Ltd. in the valuation.

This report together with the conclusion are only intended to be used for the valuation purpose as described herein and for no other purposes.

VII. VALUATION METHODOLOGY

  1. Selection of Valuation Methodology
    In accordance with the Practice Guidelines for Asset Valuation - Enterprise Value, when performing any appraisal of enterprise value, the suitability of the three basic asset valuation methods, namely the income approach, the market approach and the cost approach (the asset-based approach) shall be analyzed based on the purpose of valuation, the valuation target, the type of value, information gathering, etc. in its selection of valuation methods.
  1. Market approach

As there is limited access to transaction information of property ownership trading market in China and similar enterprises have significant differences in the product structure and principal businesses, it is extremely difficult to select market reference of the same type, therefore the market approach was not adopted in the valuation.

  1. Income approach

The income approach assesses the value of an asset by its expected profitability, which is the essential basis for determining the prevailing fair market value of the asset. As such, the income approach conforms to the basic definition of an asset. The methodology adopted in the income approach is to determine the market value by capitalizing or discounting the expected revenue of the valuation target in the future. The valuation target is a container manufacturer with independent profitability and the adoption of the income approach can reflect the reasonable market value of enterprises in such type of industry, therefore the income approach was adopted in the valuation.

68

  1. Asset-basedapproach

As all assets and liabilities of the enterprise may be appraised and recognized on an individual basis with clear structure of assets and liabilities, therefore the asset- based approach was adopted in the valuation.

In conclusion, the asset-based approach and the income approach were adopted in the valuation and the asset-based approach was adopted to determine the valuation conclusion after analysis.

  1. Asset-basedApproach
    The asset-based approach used in the valuation of the enterprise value is a valuation method for determining the value of the appraised enterprise by appraising the value of all its assets and liabilities on the basis of its balance sheet and those which can be identified off the balance sheet at the Valuation Benchmark Date. In the case of employing the asset-based approach in valuation of the enterprise value, the value of each asset is calculated by choosing a specific applicable valuation method in accordance with its specific circumstances.
    The detailed valuation methods involved in this valuation are set out as follows.
    1. Current assets
      1. Monetary funds

For RMB monetary funds, the appraised value of monetary funds in current assets is determined as the verified book value based on the breakdown of all items provided by the enterprise. For foreign monetary funds, the appraised value is determined as the verified book value of foreign currencies multiplying the central parity of foreign currencies on the Valuation Benchmark Date.

  1. Notes receivable, trade receivable, prepayment and other receivables
    Based on the breakdown of items for valuation provided by the valuation target, which is the valuation basis, verification was conducted on accounting information and selected large amounts with analysis on the amount, time and reasons of arrears and recovery situation of each receivable, to determine the appraised value of each receivable.
  2. Interest receivable

The appraisers reviewed and verified borrowing contracts, verified the terms and interest rates of borrowings and checked the provision and payment of interest expenses of the enterprise based on valuation procedures. It is verified that the valuation target has made no provisions for interest. The appraised value was determined as the verified book value.

69

    1. Inventories
      1. Raw materials and turnover materials in stock
        Based on the breakdown of items for valuation provided by the valuation target, which is the valuation basis, the appraisers conducted spot sample checks on certain inventories and adopted the replacement procedures to determine the actual amount of raw materials and turnover materials in stock on the Valuation Benchmark Date. It is learnt that the raw materials and turnover materials in stock of the Company have a quick turnover and the materials were purchased recently with no changes in prices generally, and the verified book value was used to determine the appraised value.
      2. Commissioned processing materials
        The appraisers reviewed and verified relevant contracts, accounts and certificates and upon verification, it is found that the accounts are truthful and reasonable. The verified book value was used to determine the appraised value.
      3. Finished products
        The appraisers adopted the following methods in the valuation after determining the truthfulness and completeness of finished products through checking relevant accounts and conducting spot sample checks. For all containers for sale, the appraised value of all finished products was determined as the sales price of all finished products less taxes and surcharges, sales expenses, income taxes and appropriate net profits, that is: appraised value = sales revenue - sales taxes and surcharges - sales expenses - income taxes - appropriate net profits. As the sales of containers is an export business, no sales taxes and surcharges are incurred, the sales expenses are calculated based on the average proportion of sales expenses in revenue in the previous three years. Upon investigation, it is learnt that there are order contracts for the products for sale, hence the rate of deduction of net profits is 0%. For self-owned containers, the appraised value is determined at the book value.
  1. Other current assets mainly include input value added tax and the payment for supplementing the capital pool. Based on the valuation procedures, verification was conducted on the accounting evidence and corporate bills of other current assets. The verified book value was used to determine the appraised value.

70

  1. Fixed assets - Buildings
    1. Selection of valuation methodology

In accordance with the Practice Guidelines for Asset Valuation - Property, common valuation methods include the market comparison approach, the income approach and the replacement cost approach. An appropriate valuation approach shall be selected in accordance with standards and regulations based on the conditions of the local property market, the specific characteristics of the valuation target and the purpose of the valuation.

As the buildings (structures) are self-built industrial factories and ancillary occupancies, lease cases on similar buildings in surrounding areas cannot be obtained. It is not applicable to adopt the income approach in the valuation.

As the buildings (structures) are self-built industrial buildings, information on the transactions or trading prices of similar buildings in the same or similar areas cannot be collected. Therefore, the market comparison approach to appraise the value of the buildings (structures) to be appraised cannot be adopted.

As the buildings (structures) are self-built industrial buildings, appraisers may adopt the replacement cost approach to appraise the required budget and financial accounts materials on the project and the price information on labor, materials and the shift use of machinery on the Valuation Benchmark Date. The conditions for adopting the replacement cost approach in the valuation can be met.

Based on the above analysis, the replacement cost approach was adopted in the valuation on the buildings (structures) to be appraised.

  1. Replacement cost approach

For the valuation on principally self-built buildings, the full replacement price of a building is calculated in accordance with the amount of construction work and the current fixed standard reference price, construction fees, and loan interest rate based on the construction project data and completion settlement data, while the residual ratio is determined comprehensively in accordance with the useful life and the site survey of the building, and the net appraised value of the building is thereby calculated.

Appraised value of buildings = Full replacement price × Residual ratio

According to the Circular Cai Shui [2016] No. 36, the Announcement on Relevant Policies for Deepening the Value-Added Tax Reform (No. 39 in 2019) issued by the Ministry of Finance, the State Administration of Taxation and the General Administration of Customs and relevant local documents on the adjustment of pricing basis in the industry, the corresponding value- added tax shall be deducted from the full replacement price for immovable properties meeting the conditions for deduction of value-added tax.

71

  1. Full replacement price
    Full replacement price = Construction and installation costs (excluding tax) + Preliminary construction and other costs (excluding tax) + Capital costs
    1. Determination of construction and installation costs
      1. Budget (final accounts) adjustment method
      For the building projects with complete materials on completion and final accounts, the appraisers use the current local or industrial standard reference price to calculate the direct standard reference price based on the quantity of work of all segments and items as determined in the original completion materials. The standard construction and installation costs on the Valuation Benchmark Date are estimated based on the corresponding current standard reference price on construction and installation costs and the difference adjustment documents of the place where the project is located.
    2. Determination of preliminary and other costs

Preliminary and other costs are based on the investment amount of the valuation target in project construction in accordance with the charging standards of the industry or as stipulated by national or local governments. The name, charging base, charging standards and charging basis of preliminary and other costs are set out in the table below:

  1. Determination of capital costs
    According to the normal construction period, the loan interest rate is determined with reference to the loan market quoted interest rate announced by the National Interbank Funding Center on 20 December 2020. Based on the assumption of the average investment of funds during the construction period, the calculation formula of capital costs is as follows:
    Capital costs = (Construction and installation costs + Preliminary and other costs) × Loan interest rate × Reasonable construction period ÷ 2
  2. Determination of integrated residual ratio
    The useful life method and the observation method are mainly used to determine the integrated residual ratio for the buildings in the valuation.
    1. Theoretical residual ratio
      Theoretical residual ratio is the residual rate determined based on the ratio of estimated remaining useful life of buildings to its aggregate useful life. The calculation formula is as follows:
      Theoretical residual ratio = Remaining useful life ÷ Economic life × 100%
    2. Residual ratio under the observation method
      The observation method is applied to assess each major part of the buildings from a technical perspective, and to analyze factors such as design, manufacturing, usage, wear and tear, maintenance, improvement and physical life of the asset on a consolidated basis. Impacts of wear and tear and natural deterioration on the functionality and efficiency of the asset will be assessed by comparing the valuation target with itself in new condition. As such, the residual ratio of the buildings would be determined and the substantial depreciation would be estimated.
    3. Integrated residual ratio
      Integrated residual ratio = Theoretical residual ratio × 40% + Residual ratio under the observation method × 60%

73

  1. 4. Residual ratio would be determined by adopting a reasonable method where:

    • If the residual ratio calculated under the on-site observation method and the theoretical residual ratio differ significantly, upon analysis of the various factors by the appraisers, the relatively reasonable ratio would prevail based on their previous experience.
    • For the project which cannot be observed due to certain constraints, the theoretical residual ratio would be normally applied in determining the residual ratio.
  2. Fixed assets - Machinery and equipment

According to the purpose of this valuation and the characteristics of the appraised assets, and assuming the asset is continued to be used according to its current usage, the replacement cost approach would be adopted in this valuation on the basis of on-site investigation.

Basic formula: Appraised value = Full replacement price × Residual ratio

As at the Valuation Benchmark Date, the company was a VAT general taxpayer and the tax-free price was adopted to calculate the purchase costs of equipment in determining the full replacement price.

  1. Determination of full replacement price
    1. Machinery and equipment
      1. Determination of full replacement price
        For equipment of which current market prices are available, the full replacement price would be determined with reference to the selected prevailing market price after analyzing and taking into account the transportation and miscellaneous fees as well as installation and commissioning fees; for those equipment of which current market prices are not available, the full replacement price would be determined using the market price (to be adjusted correspondingly as the equipment purchase cost) of products with similar function, plus the transportation and miscellaneous fees, installation and commissioning fees as well as other reasonable expenses. The calculation formula is as follows:
        Full replacement price = Equipment purchase cost + Transportation and miscellaneous fees + Installation and commissioning fees + Other costs
        As at the Valuation Benchmark Date, the company was a VAT general taxpayer and the tax-exclusive price was adopted to calculate the purchase cost of equipment in determining the full replacement price.

74

  1. Determination of major price determination parameters
    1. Equipment purchase cost
      Determination of equipment purchase cost would be mainly based on quotations from the equipment manufacturer and the latest transaction price of the same type of machinery and equipment purchased by the company.
    2. The rate of transportation and miscellaneous fees of equipment
      Transportation and miscellaneous fees of equipment, consisting mainly of the transportation cost, loading and unloading expenses and insurance premium, would be determined generally based on the standard rate as stipulated
      by the "Manual of Data and Parameters Commonly Used in Asset Appraisal" (資產評估常用數據與參數手冊) in the valuation.
    3. Installation and commissioning fees of equipment
      It would be determined based on the standard rate
      as stipulated by the "Manual of Data and Parameters Commonly Used in Asset Appraisal" (資產評估常用數據與 參數手冊).
    4. Preliminary and other costs

Preliminary and other costs are based on the investment amount of the valuation target in project construction in accordance with the charging standards of the industry or as stipulated by national or local governments. Preliminary and other costs determined in the valuation of equipment are as follows:

    1. 5. Capital costs

      According to the normal construction period, the loan interest rate is determined with reference to the loan market quoted interest rate announced by the National Interbank Funding Center on 20 December 2020. Based on the assumption of the average investment of funds during the construction period, the calculation formula of capital costs is as follows:

      Capital costs = Purchase price or construction costs of equipment × Applicable interest rate × Reasonable construction period ÷ 2

    2. Vehicles
      The full replacement price is determined by adding vehicle purchase tax, license fee and other reasonable costs at the prevailing market price.
    3. Electronic equipment
      For the electronic equipment of which prevailing market price is available, the full replacement price is directly determined based on its analyzed and selected prevailing market price; for the electronic equipment of which prevailing market price is unavailable, the full replacement price is determined by selecting the market price of the substitutes with similar function and making corresponding adjustments.
  1. Determination of the residual ratio
    1. For machinery and equipment, the observation method and the useful life method are mainly used to determine the residual ratio. The calculation formula is as follows:
      Residual ratio = Residual ratio under the observation method × 60% + Residual ratio under the useful life method × 40%
      1. Observation method. The observation method is applied to assess each major part of the appraised equipment from a technical perspective, and to analyze factors such as design, manufacturing, usage, wear and tear, maintenance, repair, extensive repair, improvement and physical life of the asset on a consolidated basis. Impacts of wear and tear and natural deterioration on the functionality and efficiency of the asset will be assessed by comparing the valuation target with itself in new condition. As such, the residual ratio of the appraised equipment would be determined.

76

    1. Useful life method. The calculation formula is as follows:
      Residual ratio under the useful life method = (Economic useful life - Used life)/Economic useful life × 100%
      Economic useful life refers to the term of asset from the date of commencing service to the date of discontinuation when it becomes uneconomical.
  1. For vehicles, the observation method and the theoretical residual ratio are comprehensively used to determine the residual ratio. The calculation formula is as follows:
    Residual ratio = Residual ratio under the observation method × 60% + Theoretical residual ratio × 40%
    1. Observation method. The observation method is applied to assess each major part of vehicles from a technical perspective, and considers factors such as design, manufacturing, usage, wear and tear, maintenance, repair and physical life of the asset on a consolidated basis. Impacts of wear and tear and natural deterioration on the functionality and efficiency of the asset will be assessed by comparing the valuation target with itself in new condition. As such, the residual ratio of the appraised vehicles would be determined.
    2. Theoretical residual ratio. With reference to the Regulations on Compulsory Scrapping Standards of Motor Vehicles (Order No. 12 of 2012 of the Ministry of Commerce, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Environmental Protection), the theoretical residual ratio is determined as the lower of the residual ratio under the useful life method and the residual ratio under the mileage method. The calculation formula for the residual ratio under the useful life method is as follows:

Residual ratio under the useful life method = (Economic useful life - Used life)/Economic useful life × 100%

The calculation formula for the residual ratio under the mileage method is as follows:

Residual ratio under the mileage method = (Specified mileage - Mileage traveled)/Specified mileage ×100%

77

    1. Electronic equipment
      For electronic equipment, the useful life method is mainly used to determine the residual ratio. The calculation formula is as follows:
      Residual ratio under the useful life method = (Economic useful life - Used life)/Economic useful life × 100%
      If the residual ratio calculated under the observation method and the residual ratio calculated under the useful life method (or the theoretical residual ratio) differ significantly, the relatively reasonable one of the two may be selected based on experience and judgment after analyzing related reasons. For the equipment which can be used normally, its residual ratio would normally be not less than 10%.
  1. Construction-in-progress- Civil engineering
    1. For completed projects, the appraised value is recognized as the replacement price on the Valuation Benchmark Date using the replacement cost approach.
    2. For project survey fees, the appraised value is recognized as the book value plus the capital costs on the basis that the book value is correct without mistakes.
  2. Construction-in-progress- Equipment installment project

Appraisers have inspected the project contracts and evidence of payment of the enterprise and confirmed that the payment met the contractual requirements. They learnt about the progress of projects through relevant employees of the enterprise and calculated the corresponding reasonable capital costs to determine the final appraised value based on the payment progress for the equipment under construction after verifying the above conditions. For self-developed equipment where the progress cannot be determined, the book value is recognized as the appraised value. For suspended and terminated construction in progress, the appraised value is recognized as nil.

  1. Right-of-useassets

There are two right-of-use assets in total. The first is the right-of-use asset from the lease agreement on the industrial waste sorting warehouse entered into between the valuation target and Qidong Jiaying Recyclable Materials Collection Co., Ltd. on 1 December 2018 with a lease term of four years from 1 December 2018 to 30 November 2022 and a total rent of RMB5,804,774.23. The second is the right-of-use asset from the lease agreement on underbed and bottom beams welding robots entered into between the valuation target and COSCO SHIPPING Development (Tianjin) Leasing Co., Limited on 23 September 2020 with a lease term of two years from 23 September 2020 to 22 September 2022 and a total rent of RMB3,390,477.40.

The appraisers verified the right-of-use assets and ensured the consistency between account certificates, statements and accounts. Therefore, the verified book value was adopted as the appraised value.

78

  1. Intangible assets - Land use rights
    1. Selection of valuation methods

According to the Rules for Urban Land Valuation , the common land valuation approaches include market comparison approach, income reduction approach, hypothetical development approach, cost approximation approach, benchmark land price coefficient correction approach, etc. The selection of valuation approaches should be based on the Rules for Urban Land Valuation and the development of local real estate market, combined with the specific characteristics of the valuation target and the valuation purpose, etc., to select appropriate valuation approaches.

In accordance with the technical specifications on land price appraisal and the specific conditions of the valuation target, the market approach and the cost approximation method were adopted in this valuation mainly due to the following reasons:

    1. As relevant land acquisition compensations can be collected for the land parcel to be appraised, the cost approximation method can be adopted in the valuation.
    2. As sufficient market lease cases in areas surrounding the land parcel with the same use cannot be collected, the income approach was not adopted in the valuation.
    3. As the complete benchmark land price correction system cannot be obtained in the area where the land parcel is located, it is not appropriate to adopt the benchmark land price coefficient correction approach in the valuation.
    4. As there are market transaction cases in areas surrounding the land parcel to be appraised, the market approach may be adopted in the valuation.
  1. Valuation method of the market comparison method:

The market comparison method represents that when determining the price of the land parcel to be appraised and following the principle of replacement, it compares the transaction cases of similar land use rights in recent period with the land parcel to be appraised and determines the price of the land parcel of the valuation target on the Valuation Benchmark Date based on the known price of the latter with reference to the differences in the transaction conditions, date, region and other individual factors with the land parcel. The calculation formula is:

Comparable price = Comparable land parcel price × Correction of transaction conditions × Correction of transaction dates × Correction of regional factors × Correction of individual factors

Price of land parcel to be appraised = Comparable price × Land parcel area

79

  1. Valuation method of the cost approximation method:

Cost approximation method refers to the valuation method to determine land price by using the sum of various expenses incurred in the development of land as major reference, with a certain amount of profit, interest, tax payable and land value-added gain. The general formula of the cost approximation method is:

Land price = Land acquisition costs and relevant taxes Land development costs Investment interest Investment profits Land value-added gains

  1. Intangible assets - Other intangible assets - Software

The appraisers recognize the composition of the original book value and the truthfulness and reasonableness of the incurred amortization amount through enquiring the related accounting records based on the original accounting value. For customized software and those not sold in the market but can still be used for the original purpose, the replacement cost is determined based on the book historical cost with reference to the changes in the average salary of employees in the urban information transmission, computer service and software enterprises. Meanwhile, the appraised value of all software is calculated based on the remaining economic life of software and the depreciation rate determined after considering all depreciation factors.

Appraised value = Replacement cost × (1 - Depreciation rate)

  1. Determination of the replacement cost

For the replacement cost of purchased intangible assets, the price index method to calculate is adopted in the calculation of its replacement cost based on the book historical cost of the intangible assets after adjustment on the price index.

Replacement cost = Book cost of intangible assets × (Price index on the Valuation Benchmark Date/Price index on purchase)

  1. Depreciation rate

Appraisers determine the depreciation rate of intangible assets through comparing the estimation and judgment on the remaining economic life of intangible assets. The calculation formula is as follows:

Depreciation rate = Used life/(Used life + Remaining useful life) × 100%

80

(10) Intangible assets - Other intangible assets - Patents

Pursuant to the operational standards for the valuation of intangible assets, the cost approach, income approach or market approach can be used for the valuation of patents and technologies according to the prerequisites for utilization and the actual circumstances of the valuation.

Generally speaking, for invention patents and utility model patent technologies, there is usually no correlation between the research and development costs for the technologies and the value of the technologies themselves. Since the technologies to be appraised are products of years of contribution and involve cross-sectional research, together with the reasons associated with the management, it is difficult to calculate the research and development costs and the valuation cannot be conducted by taking costs into account. The cost approach was therefore not adopted in this valuation.

In addition, due to the exclusivity of patent technologies, identifying comparables from market transactions usually proves to be difficult and hence, the market approach was not adopted as well.

Accordingly, based on the actual conditions of patent technologies of the enterprise, this valuation on invention patents and utility model patent technologies was made by taking income into account and the income approach was adopted as a result.

The ideology of the income approach is to estimate the income of products manufactured using the exclusive technologies in the upcoming years and based on a certain profit sharing ratio (which is the contribution ratio of the patent technologies to the income in the upcoming years), to calculate the appraised value by discounting and adding the estimated income using the appropriate discount ratio. The basic formula is as follows:

n

kRt

P =

(1+ i )

t

i=0.5

Wherein,

  1. the value of technology commissioned to be appraised Rt: the annual income from the technology in the t year
  1. the sequence number of the year for valuation
  1. the profit sharing ratio of the technology for the income
  1. the discount rate
  1. the economic income period of the technology

81

(11) Long-term prepaid expenses

Appraisers viewed fee contracts and verified the revenue period of long- term prepaid expenses based on the valuation procedures in the valuation. For interlocking blocks and cast concrete in W4-W11 area of the steel coil warehouse under odd projects, no valuation on the long-term prepaid expenses on such items was carried out as they have been appraised under the steel coil warehouse. The appraised value of other long-term prepaid expenses is determined at the verified book value.

(12) Other non-current assets

Other non-current assets refer to the land prepayment from the Treasury Division of the Qidong Municipal Bureau of Finance. The appraised value is determined based on the breakdown of items under valuation provided by the valuation target in accordance with the valuation procedures after learning about the reasons of other current assets and conducting sample checks on the original and accounting evidence.

(13) Liabilities

The actual amount of liabilities attributable to the valuation target as at the Valuation Benchmark Date will be accounted for as the appraised value.

  1. Income Approach
    The income approach in the appraisal of enterprise value refers to the valuation method used in determining the value of the valuation target by capitalizing or discounting the expected income. Methods frequently used under the income approach include the dividend discount method and the discounted cash flow method.
    This valuation adopted the discounting model of free cash flow of firm under the discounted cash flow method. Specifically, using the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) as the discount rate, the total equity interest of shareholder is arrived at by adding the expected Free Cash Flow of Firm (FCFF) for each of the coming years to the operational asset values plus the value of the surplus assets and non-operational assets to the value of entire assets of the enterprise less the value of interest-bearing debt. The basic formula is as follows:
    Total equity interest of shareholders = Operational asset value + Non-operational assets value - Non-operational liabilities value + Surplus assets value - Value of interest- bearing debt

82

The specific calculation formula is as follows:

  1. = P'+ A'D'D

P' = Ri

i + Rn

1

n

Wherein, P - the total appraised value of equity interest of shareholders in the valuation target

A'- the non-operational assets D'- the interest-bearing debt

Ri - the expected income generated in income period No. i in the future (FCFF)

The firm carries out internal review on the preliminary asset valuation report in accordance with laws, administrative regulations, the standards for asset appraisal and the internal quality control system and issue the formal asset valuation report after conducting necessary communications on relevant contents of the valuation report with the clients and other relevant parties.

IX. VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

The main asset valuation assumptions adopted in this valuation report include:

  1. Basic Assumptions
    1. Transaction assumption. The transaction assumption is that all assets to be appraised are in the process of transaction, and the appraisers will make estimation in a simulated market according to the transaction conditions (among others) of assets to be appraised.
    2. Open market assumption. The open market assumption is that assets may be traded freely in a highly competitive market and the price of which is determined based on the judgment of both independent trading parties over the value of assets under certain supply and demand conditions. An open market refers to a market which is highly competitive with various buyers and sellers. In the open market, both parties of a transaction are equal, which means they are given the opportunity and time to acquire sufficient market information. Buyers and sellers are supposed to be acting voluntarily and rationally rather than being coerced or confined during the transaction.
    3. Assumption on continuing operation. Assumption on continuing operation refers to the assumption that the operating activities of an operating entity will continue and will not be suspended or terminated in the foreseeable future.

84

  1. Specific Assumptions
    1. There will be no significant changes in the relevant prevailing laws, regulations and policies as well as macro-economic situation of the country and place where the valuation target resides, significant changes in the political, economic or social environment in the regions in which the parties to the transaction are located, or material adverse effects arising from other unforeseeable factors and force majeure.
    2. It is assumed that the enterprise will have balanced cash inflows and cash outflows throughout the year based on its actual operation conditions.
    3. It is assumed that the current and future operators and managers of the valuation target exercise due diligence, and the management of such entity are competent in discharging their duties to ensure that the valuation target is able to operate on a going concern basis, the development, production, and operation plans of which can be fulfilled as scheduled.
    4. It is assumed that the valuation target is in full compliance with all relevant national laws and regulations, without committing any significant violation that prejudices corporate development and realization of revenue.
    5. It is assumed that the accounting policies to be adopted by such enterprise in the future are basically consistent with those adopted during the preparation of this report in material aspects.
    6. It is assumed that, based on its current management approaches and standards, the enterprise's scope and model of business will remain consistent with the current orientation.
    7. It is assumed that there will be no material changes in the requirements currently implemented or determined to be implemented regarding the relevant interest rates, exchange rates, taxation bases and tax rates, and government levies according to national regulations.
    8. It is assumed that no other force majeure and unforeseeable factors will have a material adverse effect on the enterprise.

According to the requirements of the asset valuation, these assumptions are deemed to be valid on the Valuation Benchmark Date. We will not accept any responsibility for any different valuation conclusions resulting from any changes in these assumptions when the economic environment changes significantly in the future.

(IV) Analysis and explanations to the selection of the valuation conclusion

The asset-based approach is to appraise the enterprise value through appraising value of each single asset taking into consideration the relevant liabilities from the perspective of asset replacement. The income approach is to appraise the enterprise value through capitalisation or discount of the expected revenue of the valuation target from the perspective of making judgment on the profitability of assets. It is to appraise the enterprise value based on the total revenue of the enterprise in the future through the reverse thinking of "Capital-searching with the Profit" to achieve "Profit-taking with the Capital".

Based on specific conditions of this valuation, the valuation target is engaged in the production and sales of containers and is greatly exposed to the impacts of the global economy and the industry market with certain market periodicity. As it is difficult to accurately estimate and measure the changes and fluctuations of the industry market in the following years, the result using the asset-based approach is more practical and reasonable as compared with the result using the income approach.

Based on the above factors, the valuation result using the asset-based approach was adopted as the final valuation conclusion. The valuation conclusion is that the value of all shareholders' equity interests in Dong Fang International Container (Qidong) Co., Ltd. involved in the proposed acquisition of 100% of the equity interests in four companies held by COSCO SHIPPING Investment Holdings Co., Ltd. through the issuance of shares by COSCO SHIPPING Development Co., Ltd. was RMB1,570,740,500 (in word: ONE BILLION FIVE HUNDRED SEVENTY MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED FORTY THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED ONLY, rounding to the nearest hundred).

The validity of the valuation conclusion revealed in the valuation report shall be one year from the Valuation Benchmark Date, being 31 December 2020, to 30 December 2021.

The debtors of the above amounts are the Qidong Municipal Bureau of Finance of Jiangsu Province and the Administration Committee of the Qidong Marine Shipbuilding Industrial Park. Based on the information provided by the enterprise, relevant governments have undertaken that all amounts except for the land prepayment actually carried forward will be repaid in the form of tax refunds.

As the project of Dong Fang International Container (Qidong) Co., Ltd. was first approved for construction, and as the shoreline is under the berth of a public wharf under planning, the self-constructed wharf was stripped off from Dong Fang International Container (Qidong) Co., Ltd.. Dong Fang International Port (Qidong) Co., Ltd. was established to promote the project. As the construction funds preliminarily provided by Dong Fang International Container (Qidong) Co., Ltd. have not been transferred to Dong Fang International Port (Qidong) Co., Ltd., the book value of the wharf was accounted for by the two companies. Upon the confirmation by Dong Fang International Container (Qidong) Co., Ltd. and Dong Fang International Port (Qidong) Co., Ltd., the buildings applied shown as the items No. 7 customs bonded yard and No. 20 wharf project in the breakdown of the buildings valuation of Dong Fang International Container (Qidong) Co., Ltd. belong to Dong Fang International Port (Qidong) Co., Ltd.
    Based on the explanations on the ownership of the buildings jointly confirmed by Dong Fang International Container (Qidong) Co., Ltd. and Dong Fang International Port (Qidong) Co., Ltd., the appraised value of the items No. 7 customs bonded yard and No. 20 wharf project in the breakdown of the buildings valuation of Dong Fang International Container (Qidong) Co., Ltd. was accounted in the books of Dong Fang International Port (Qidong) Co., Ltd. in the valuation.
