The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among others, (i) further details of the SP Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder; (ii) financial information and other information of the Group; (iii) financial information and other information of the Target Group; (iv) the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group; (v) the valuation report on the Lvrun Group; (vi) letter from KPMG on the discounted cash flows in relation to the valuation of the Lvrun Group and letter from Halcyon Capital Limited in relation to the valuation of the Lvrun Group; and (vii) the property valuation report of the Lvrun Group.

SP AGREEMENT

The major terms of the SP Agreement are set out below:

Date:

11 December 2019

Parties:

(i)

the Vendor, as vendor

(ii)

IWS Engineering, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, as purchaser

To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors after making reasonable enquiries, the Vendor, the Target Company and their respective ultimate beneficial owners are Independent Third Parties.

Subject matters

The Sale Shares legally and beneficially held by the Vendor, representing 40% of the total number of issued shares in the Target Company, free from all encumbrances and together with all rights attaching thereto as from the Completion Date, including but not limited to all dividends paid, declared or made the record date for the entitlement of which falls on or after the Completion Date.

The Sale Shares rank pari passu in all respects among themselves and with the other existing issued shares in the Target Company.

Consideration

The total Consideration is HK$69,000,000, which shall be paid by IWS Engineering to the Vendor in cash at Completion.

The Consideration was determined after arm's length negotiations between IWS Engineering and the Vendor with reference to, among other things, (i) the valuation of the fair value of the 100% equity interest of the Lvrun Group of RMB304,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$340,480,000) as at 30 June 2019 by an independent valuer based on an income approach; (ii) the financial performance of the Target Group; and (iii) the business development and the prospects of the Target Group.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Consideration is fair and reasonable and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

2

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Consideration will be funded by the internal resources of the Group.

In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Consideration based on the above criteria, the Company engaged Shanghai Rodl & Partner, Certified Public Accountants Partnership (the "Valuer"), an independent valuer, to conduct a valuation (the "Valuation") on the fair value of the 100% equity interest of the Lvrun Group.

As stated in the valuation report (the "Valuation Report") issued by the Valuer in relation to the Valuation as set out in Appendix IV to this circular, the fair value of the 100% equity interest of the Lvrun Group as at 30 June 2019 was RMB304 million. It is stated in the Valuation Report that the Valuation was assessed using discounted cash flow method under the income approach. For the purpose of the Valuation, the Valuer has concluded the Valuation based on the future cash flow of the Lvrun Group by relying on the available information and presently prevailing operating conditions of the business and taking into consideration, among others, the following factors:

  • the market and the business prospect of the Lvrun Group;
  • the general economic outlook and the outlook for the specific industry affecting the business of the Lvrun Group;
  • the current financial and operational information of the Lvrun Group;
  • the historical performance of the comparable companies;
  • the market expectation and required rate of return for similar business; and
  • the assumptions as stated in the assumptions of the Valuation Report in Appendix IV of this Circular.

After reviewing in detail the Valuation Report and the underlying valuation methodology and assumptions, the Board considered that the Consideration (i.e. HK$69,000,000), representing a discount of approximately 0.66% to the fair value of the 40% equity interest of the Target Group (i.e. RMB62,016,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$69,458,000) being the effective 20.4% interest in the valuation of the Lvrun Group of RMB304,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$340,480,000)), is fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company as a whole.

As mentioned above, the Valuation has adopted income-based approach and discounted cash flow method. As such, the Valuation constitutes a "profit forecast" under Rule 14.61 of the Listing Rules.

3

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The principal assumptions, including commercial assumptions, on which the Valuation has been based, are as follows:

  1. there will be no major changes in the existing political, legal, fiscal and economic conditions in which the Lvrun Group carries on their businesses;
  2. there will be no major changes in the current taxation law in the country where the Lvrun Group operates, that the rates of tax payable will remain unchanged and that all applicable laws and regulations will be complied with;

  4. the Lvrun Group as well as their partners will obtain the necessary licenses and approvals to provide their service;
  5. market situation, such as exchange rates and interest rates will not differ materially from those presently prevailing;
  6. the availability of finance will not be a constraint on the forecasted growth of operations of the Lvrun Group;
  7. the Lvrun Group will successfully maintain their competitiveness and market share through optimising the utilization of their resources and expanding their marketing networks;
  8. the Lvrun Group can keep in line with the latest development of the industry so that their competitiveness and profitability can be sustained;
  9. the Lvrun Group will utilize and maintain their current operational, administrative and technical facilities to maintain their sales;
  10. the Lvrun Group will be able to secure funds to repay their debts when they fall due;
  11. the Lvrun Group will retain and have competent management, key personnel, technical staff and stable work locations to support their ongoing operations;
  12. industry trends and market conditions for related industries will not deviate materially from economic forecasts;
  13. the projection has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting estimates which have been arrived at after due and careful consideration;
  14. no perpetual growth rate is adopted, due to the limits of capacity at 50,000 tons of hazardous waste treatment without considering further expansions; and
  15. no event of force majeure, e.g. accidents, shall take place among the forecast period.

Based on the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the SP Agreement, the Shareholders' Agreement and the Shareholder's Loan Agreement are fair and reasonable, the transactions contemplated thereunder are on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Leyuan New Material is a limited liability company established in the PRC. As at the Latest Practicable Date, it was a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Lvrun. The registered capital of Leyuan New Material is RMB46,960,000 (which has been contributed in full). Leyuan New Material is principally engaged in holding the properties of the Lvrun Group.

The Lvrun Group held the Hazardous Chemical Operation License (危險廢物經營許可証) issued by the Lianyungang Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau. Under the license, it can dispose and utilize a range of specified hazardous chemicals and is principally engaged in the provision of hazardous waste treatment services to industrial customers. The license expired in early December 2019 and, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Lvrun Group was in the process of renewal of the license. Completion will not be proceeded with before the license is successfully renewed as IWS Engineering will only consider the condition precedent set out in sub-paragraph (c) in the paragraph headed "Conditions precedent" in this letter above fulfilled when the license is successfully renewed. Nor will IWS Engineering waive such condition precedent.

Hazardous waste are collected from the customers' sites and delivered to the Lvrun Group's plant facility for treatment. The hazardous wastes collected are treated with the physical/chemical methodology to recycle the heavy metals in compound form and producing gypsum as a by-product to sell (which is used to produce construction material).

With the strict implementation of environmental rules and regulations in recent years, there had been notable increase in the annual growth rate of hazardous waste in Jiangsu Province and the current total treatment capacity is falling short of this growing market demand and which had been resulted in the increase of local hazardous waste treatment prices.

The Lvrun Group serves its customers in the Jiangsu Province and is well positioned to capture the potential growth in the region. To meet with the expected future demand, the Lvrun Group is undergoing a Phase II expansion plan to increase its treatment capacity. It is planned that such expansion will provide an additional treatment capacity of 100,000 metric tons per annum. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Phase II expansion was at the stage of land acquisition involving a site area of around 92,700 square metres of additional land which is adjacent to the existing plant site.

In addition, to maintain its growth momentum, the Target Group had recently established its new footprint in Kaifeng City, Henan Province to construct a hazardous waste treatment line and an incineration facility to deliver comprehensive hazardous waste treatment services.

Kaifeng Dagong is a sino-foreign joint equity enterprise established in the PRC. As at the Latest Practicable Date, it was held as to 51% by the Target Company, as to 30% by Henan Yicheng Environmental and Technology Co., Ltd. and as to 19% by Kaifeng Development Investment Group Co., Ltd. The registered capital of Kaifeng Dagong is RMB90,000,000 (which is yet to be contributed). Kaifeng Dagong is principally engaged in hazardous waste collection, treatment and disposal, production and provision of heat, development of environmental technology, technology promotion service, technology consulting. The approval of the establishment of Kaifeng Dagong was granted by the relevant PRC authority on 21 November 2019.

Apart from being a new source of income stream to the Group, the Acquisition allows the Group to invest in a new segment of the environmental business with growth potential and to extend the Group's investment geographically.

To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors after making reasonable enquiries, the Lvrun Sellers, Dugong, the minority shareholders of Kaifeng Dagong and their respective ultimate beneficial owners are Independent Third Parties.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

The Target Company is an investment holding company and was incorporated in Hong Kong on 15 April 2019. Save for the investment in the Lvrun Group, it has not carried on any business since the date of its incorporation. During the period from its date of incorporation to 30 June 2019, the Target Company has a loss of HK$56,850, which was mainly related to the administrative expenses incurred during the period.

Set out below is a summary of the audited consolidated financial information of the Lvrun Group for the two years ended 31 December 2017 and 2018 and the six months ended 30 June 2019:

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

As more than one of the applicable percentage ratios as calculated under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Acquisition exceed 25% but all of them are less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement and shareholders' approval requirements thereunder.

12

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, as at the Latest Practicable Date, neither the Target Company, the Vendor, Dugong nor any of their respective close associates held any Shares and therefore no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the proposed resolution(s) to approve the SP Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder in general meeting of the Shareholders. As at the Latest Practicable Date, CTF Nominee, Smart On and Prestige Safe were holding 1,530,601,835 Shares, 732,550,000 Shares and 479,362,193 Shares respectively, representing in aggregate approximately 56.86% of the issued share capital of the Company. Smart On is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of CTF Nominee; whereas Prestige Safe and CTF Nominee are direct subsidiaries of Chow Tai Fook (Holding) Limited. Therefore the Directors consider that CTF Nominee, Smart On and Prestige Safe constitute a closely allied group of Shareholders within the meaning of Rule 14.45 of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Company has obtained written approvals for the Acquisition from CTF Nominee, Smart On and Prestige Safe to dispense with the holding of a general meeting of the Company pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules.

Your attention is drawn to the additional information set out in Appendices I to VI to this circular.

1. THREE-YEAR FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Details of the financial information of the Group for the three years ended 31 March 2019, respectively, have been set out in the Company's annual reports for the year ended 31 March 2017 (from pages 55 to 127), the year ended 31 March 2018 (from pages 57 to 119) and the year ended 31 March 2019 (from pages 59 to 127).

All annual reports of the Company have been posted on the website of the Company at www.iwsgh.com and of the Stock Exchange at www.hkexnews.hk.

2. INDEBTEDNESS STATEMENT

As at the close of business on 30 November 2019, being the latest practicable date for the purpose of ascertaining the indebtedness of the Group prior to the printing of this circular, the Group had:

Lease liabilities

After the initial recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as at 1 April 2019, the Group as a lessee is required to recognise interest expense accrued on the outstanding balance of the lease liabilities over the lease term. As at 30 November 2019, the Group has lease liabilities with outstanding principal amount of approximately HK$2,662,000.

Save as aforesaid, and apart from intra-group liabilities, at the close of business on 30 November 2019, the Group did not have any debt securities issued and outstanding or agreed to be issued, bank overdrafts, loans or other similar indebtedness, liabilities under acceptances or acceptance credits, debentures, mortgages, charges, hire purchases commitments, guarantees or other material contingent liabilities.

3. WORKING CAPITAL SUFFICIENCY OF THE GROUP

The Directors are of the opinion that, after taking into account the Acquisition, the working capital available to the Group is sufficient for the Group's requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of this circular in the absence of any unforeseen circumstances.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECT OF THE GROUP

As mentioned under the paragraph headed "Reasons for and benefits of entering into the SP Agreement" under the section headed "Letter from the Board" in this circular, the Directors have been proactive in seeking appropriate investment opportunities to increase the return of the shareholders of the Company. The Company strives to expand its businesses both geographically and horizontally and is of the view that entering into the hazardous waste treatment sector shall initiate a new business segment for the Company and broaden the Company's business horizon, which can enable the Group to grow and achieve improvements in its financial position.

Looking ahead, the Directors expect the business environment to remain challenging and difficult, but are cautiously optimistic towards the overall outlook of the Group. Not only the management will continue to explore and identify suitable investment opportunities to sustain long-term growth, but also will streamline the operation and curtail the operating and management costs to improve the Shareholders' return.

5. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

As disclosed in the interim results announcement of the Company published on 28 November 2019, the Group recorded an unaudited net loss of approximately HK$32.8 million for the six months ended 30 September 2019 as compared to an unaudited net loss of approximately HK$27.0 million for the same period in 2018. Such an increase was mainly attributable to the drop in profit margin of the Group's recovered paper business as a result of the PRC Government's strict control on the quotas and quality of imported recovered paper. The Directors confirm that save as disclosed above, as at the Latest Practicable Date, there was no material adverse change in the financial or trading position of the Group since 31 March 2019, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Group were made up.

6. EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITION ON THE EARNINGS AND ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF THE GROUP

Following Completion, the Company will indirectly own 40% equity interest in the Target Company. The Target Company will become an associate of the Group, and the financial results of the Target Group will be equity accounted for in the Group's consolidated financial statements.

As referred to in "Appendix III - Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group" to this circular, on the basis of the notes set out therein for the purposes of illustrating the effects of the Acquisition, the financial effects of the Acquisition on the Group as if the Acquisition had taken place and had been completed on 30 September 2019 would be as follows:

  1. there would be no change to the Group's consolidated total assets and consolidated net assets which were HK$936 million and HK$913 million respectively.
  2. It is expected that, subject to audit, there will be no financial effect to the revenue of the Group after Completion as the income of the Target Group will not be consolidated into that of the Group.

APPENDIX IIA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

NOTES TO THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

  1. Basis of preparation and presentation of Historical Financial Information
    Dugong IWS HAZ was incorporated in Hong Kong on 15 April 2019 with limited liability under Companies Ordinance.
    Dugong IWS HAZ is an investment holding company. Dugong IWS HAZ has not carried on any business during the Relevant Period.
    The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with all applicable IFRSs which collective term includes all applicable individual International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the IASB. Further details of the significant accounting policies adopted are set out in Note 2.
    The Historical Financial Information also complies with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
    The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the Historical Financial Information.
  2. Significant accounting policies
    1. Basis of measurement
      The measurement basis used in the preparation of the Historical Financial Information is the historical cost basis. Going concern
      Notwithstanding the net liabilities of Dugong IWS HAZ at 30 June 2019, the Historical Financial Information has been prepared assuming Dugong IWS HAZ will continue as a going concern basis. As the Company being the 40% equity interest holder of Dugong IWS HAZ upon completion of the acquisition, has undertaken to provide adequate financial support to maintain the Dugong IWS HAZ as a going concern and to enable it to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due.
    2. Use of estimates and judgements
      The preparation of Historical Financial Information in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not clear from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
      The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

IIA-8

APPENDIX IIA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

  1. Credit losses and impairment of assets
    Dugong IWS HAZ recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses ("ECLs") on the financial assets measured at amortised cost (including cash and cash equivalents).
    Measurement of ECLs
    ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all expected cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to Dugong IWS HAZ in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that Dugong IWS HAZ expects to receive).
    The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which Dugong IWS HAZ is exposed to credit risk.
    In measuring ECLs, Dugong IWS HAZ takes into account reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort. This includes information about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
    ECLs are measured on either of the following bases:
    • 12-monthECLs: these are losses that are expected to result from possible default events within the 12 months after the reporting date; and
    • lifetime ECLs: these are losses that are expected to result from all possible default events over the expected lives of the items to which the ECL model applies.

Loss allowances for trade receivables, lease receivables and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. ECLs on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix based on the Dugong IWS HAZ's historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors and an assessment of both the current and forecast general economic conditions at the reporting date.

For all other financial instruments, Dugong IWS HAZ recognises a loss allowance equal to 12-month ECLs unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk of the financial instrument since initial recognition, in which case the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.

  1. Receivables
    A receivable is recognised when Dugong IWS HAZ has an unconditional right to receive consideration. A right to receive consideration is unconditional if only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due. If revenue has been recognised before Dugong IWS HAZ has an unconditional right to receive consideration, the amount is presented as a contract asset.
    Receivables are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method less allowance for credit losses (see Note 2(c)).
  2. Cash and cash equivalents
    Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within three months of maturity at acquisition. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of Dugong IWS HAZ's cash management are also included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flow. Cash and cash equivalents are assessed for expected credit losses ("ECL") in accordance with the policy set out in Note 2(c).

IIA-9

APPENDIX IIA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

  1. Payables (including amount due to immediate holding company)
    Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value. Trade and other payables are subsequently stated at amortised cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.
  2. Income tax
    Income tax for the year comprises current tax. Current are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the relevant amounts of tax are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
    Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
  3. Provisions and contingent liabilities
    Provisions are recognised when Dugong IWS HAZ has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation.
    Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.
  4. Borrowing costs
    Borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
  5. Related parties

APPENDIX IIB

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE LVRUN GROUP

Reporting accountants' responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Historical Financial Information and to report our opinion to you. We conducted our work in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Investment Circular Reporting Engagements 200 "Accountants' Reports on Historical Financial Information in Investment Circulars" issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. This standard requires that we comply with ethical standards and plan and perform our work to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Historical Financial Information is free from material misstatement.

Our work involved performing procedures to obtain evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Financial Information. The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants' judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the Historical Financial Information, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the reporting accountants consider internal control relevant to the entity's preparation of Historical Financial Information that give a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in Note 1 to the Historical Financial Information in order to design procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Our work also included evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical Financial Information.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Historical Financial Information gives, for the purpose of the accountants' report, a true and fair view of the Lvrun Group's financial position as at 31 December 2016, 2017 and 2018 and 30 June 2019 and of the Lvrun Group's financial performance and cash flows for the Relevant Periods in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in Note 1 to the Historical Financial Information.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE LVRUN GROUP

Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board ("IAASB"). A review consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Stub Period Corresponding Financial Information, for the purpose of the accountants' report, is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in Note 1 to the Historical Financial Information.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE LVRUN GROUP

NOTES TO THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1 Basis of preparation and presentation of Historical Financial Information

Lvrun was incorporated in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC") on 16 November 2015 as a sino-foreign equity joint venture enterprise.

The Lvrun Group is principally engaged in the provision of hazardous waste treatment service.

The Historical Financial Information is presented in Renminbi ("RMB"), which is also the functional currency of Lvrun and its subsidiary.

The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with all applicable IFRSs which collective term includes all applicable individual International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the IASB. Further details of the significant accounting policies adopted are set out in Note 2.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the Historical Financial Information, unless otherwise stated. The Lvrun Group has not applied any new standards or interpretations that are not yet effective for the Relevant Periods. The revised and new accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective for the Relevant Periods are set out in Note 23.

The Historical Financial Information also complies with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

The Stub Period Corresponding Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the same basis of preparation and presentation adopted in respect of the Historical Financial Information.

As at the end of the Relevant Periods, Lvrun has direct interests in the following subsidiary which is a private company:

All companies comprising the Lvrun Group have adopted 31 December as their financial year end date.

2 Significant accounting policies

  1. Basis of measurement
    The measurement basis used in the preparation of the Historical Financial Information is the historical cost basis. Going concern
    The Historical Financial Information has been prepared assuming the Lvrun Group will continue as a going concern notwithstanding the net current liabilities of the Lvrun Group at 31 December 2016, 2017 and 2018 and 30 June 2019. The directors are at the opinion that, based on a detailed review of the working capital forecast of the Lvrun Group for the period ending 30 June 2020, the Lvrun Group will have necessary liquid funds to finance its working capital and capital expenditure requirements.

IIB-10

APPENDIX IIB

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE LVRUN GROUP

  1. Use of estimates and judgements
    The preparation of Historical Financial Information in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
    The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
    Judgements made by management in the application of IFRSs that have significant effect on the Historical Financial Information and major sources of estimation uncertainty are discussed in Note 3.
  2. Changes in accounting policies
    The IASB has issued a number of new and revised IFRSs that are first effective for the accounting period of the Lvrun Group during the Relevant Periods. Of these, the following developments are relevant to the Lvrun Group:

Effective for accounting

periods beginning on

IFRS 9, Financial instruments

1 January 2018

IFRS 15, Revenue from contracts with customers

1 January 2018

IFRS 16, Leases

1 January 2019

Due to the transition methods chosen by the Lvrun Group in applying these standards, comparative information throughout the Historical Financial Information has not been restated to reflect the requirements of the new standards.

Details of the changes in accounting policies are discussed below.

  1. IFRS 9, Financial Instruments
    IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39, Financial instruments: recognition and measurement. It sets out the requirements for recognising and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and some contracts to buy or sell non-financial items.
    The Lvrun Group has applied IFRS 9 retrospectively to items that existed at 1 January 2018 in accordance with the transition requirements. The cumulative effect of initial application was recognised as an adjustment to the opening equity at 1 January 2018. Therefore, comparative information continues to be reported under IAS 39.
    Upon the initial application of IFRS 9, the Lvrun Group recognised expected credit losses on trade receivables of RMB12,351. The amount was recognised as an adjustment to the opening equity at 1 January 2018, causing a net decrease in retained profits by the same amount.

IIB-11

APPENDIX IIB

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE LVRUN GROUP

Further details of the nature and effects of the changes to previous accounting policies are set out below:

  1. Classification of financial assets and financial liabilities
    IFRS 9 categorises financial assets into three principal classification categories: measured at amortised cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI") and at fair value through profit or loss ("FVPL"). These supersede IAS 39's categories of held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets measured at FVPL. The classification of financial assets under IFRS 9 is based on the business model under which the financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics.
    For an explanation of how the Lvrun Group classifies and measures financial assets and recognises related gains and losses under IFRS 9, see respective accounting policy notes in Notes 2(g)(i), 2(j) and 2(k). The classification and measurement of the Lvrun Group's financial assets at 1 January 2018 have not been impacted by the initial application of IFRS 9.
    The measurement categories for all financial liabilities remain the same, except for financial guarantee contract, which is not relevant to the Lvrun Group. The carrying amounts of the Lvrun Group's financial liabilities at 1 January 2018 have not been impacted by the initial application of IFRS 9.
  2. Credit losses
    IFRS 9 replaces the "incurred loss" model in IAS 39 with the "expected credit loss" ("ECL") model. The ECL model requires an ongoing measurement of credit risk associated with a financial asset and therefore recognises ECLs earlier than under the "incurred loss" accounting model in IAS 39.
    The Lvrun Group applies the new ECL model to the financial assets measured at amortised cost (including cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables).
    For further details on the Lvrun Group's accounting policy for accounting for credit losses, see Note 2(g)(i).
    The following table reconciles the closing loss allowance determined in accordance with IAS 39 as at 31 December 2017 with the opening loss allowance determined in accordance with IFRS 9 as at 1 January 2018.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE LVRUN GROUP

    1. Transition
      Changes in accounting policies resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 have been applied retrospectively, except as described below:
      • Information relating to comparative periods has not been restated. Differences in the carrying amounts of financial assets resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 are recognised in retained profits as at 1 January 2018. Accordingly, the information presented for 2017 continues to be reported under IAS 39 and thus may not be comparable.
      • If, at the date of initial application, the assessment of whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition would have involved undue cost or effort, a lifetime ECL has been recognised for that financial instrument.
  1. IFRS 15, Revenue from contracts with customers
    IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. It replaced IAS 18 Revenue, which covered revenue arising from sale of goods and rendering of services, and IAS 11 Construction Contracts, which specified accounting for construction contracts.
    IFRS 15 also introduces additional qualitative and quantitative disclosure requirements which aim to enable users of the financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
    Details of the nature and effect of the changes on previous accounting policies are set out below:
    1. Timing of revenue recognition
      Previously, revenue arising from provision of services was recognised over time, whereas revenue from sale of goods was generally recognised at a point in time when the risks and rewards of ownership of the goods had passed to the customers.

Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognised when the customer obtains control of the promised goods or services in the contract, which may be at a single point in time or over time. IFRS 15 identifies the following three situations in which controls of the promised goods or service is regarded as being transferred over time:

  1. When the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the entity's performance, as the entity performs;
  2. When the entity's performance creates or enhances an asset (for example work in progress) that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced;
  3. When the entity's performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity and the entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

If the contract terms and the entity's activities do not fall into any of these 3 situations, then under IFRS 15 the entity recognises revenue for the sale of that goods or service at a single point in time, being when control has passed. Transfer of risks and rewards of ownership is only one of the indicators that is considered in determining when the transfer of control occurs.

The adoption of IFRS 15 does not have a significant impact on when the Lvrun Group recognises revenue.

IIB-13

APPENDIX IIB

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE LVRUN GROUP

    1. Significant financing component
      IFRS 15 requires an entity to adjust the transaction price for the time value of money when a contract contains a significant financing component, regardless of whether the payments from customers are recovered significantly in advance of revenue recognition or significantly deferred.
      Previously, the Lvrun Group only applied such a policy when payments were significantly deferred, which was not common in the Lvrun Group's arrangements with its customers. The Lvrun Group did not apply such a policy when payments were received in advance.
      It is not common for the Lvrun Group to receive payments significantly in advance of revenue recognition in the Lvrun Group's arrangements with its customers. Changes on this area under IFRS 15 does not have a significant impact to the Lvrun Group.
    2. Presentation of contract assets and contract liabilities
      Under IFRS 15, a receivable is recognised only if the Lvrun Group has an unconditional right to consideration. If the Lvrun Group recognises the related revenue (see Note 2(q)) before being unconditionally entitled to the consideration for the promised goods and services in the contract, then the entitlement to consideration is classified as a contract asset. Similarly, a contract liability, rather than a payable, is recognised when a customer pays consideration, or is contractually required to pay consideration and the amount is already due, before the Lvrun Group recognised the related revenue. For a single contract with the customer, either a net contract asset or a net contract liability is presented. For multiple contracts, contract assets and contract liabilities of unrelated contracts are not presented on a net basis (see Note 2(i)).
      To reflect these changes in presentation under IFRS 15, the Lvrun Group has reclassified receipts in advance from customers amounting to RMB352,041 from "receipts in advance from customers" in trade and other payables to "contract liabilities" in trade and other payables on 1 January 2018 (Note 15).
  1. IFRS 16, Leases
    IFRS 16 replaces IAS 17, Leases, and the related interpretations, IFRIC 4, Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease, SIC 15, Operating leases - incentives, and SIC 27, Evaluating the substance of transactions involving the legal form of a lease. It introduces a single accounting model for lessees, which requires a lessee to recognise a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases, except for leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less ("short-term leases") and leases of low-value assets. The lessor accounting requirements are brought forward from IAS 17 substantially unchanged.
    IFRS 16 also introduces additional qualitative and quantitative disclosure requirements which aim to enable users of the financial statements to assess the effect that leases have on the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of an entity.
    The Lvrun Group has initially applied IFRS 16 as from 1 January 2019. The Lvrun Group has elected to use the modified retrospective approach and has therefore recognised the cumulative effect of the initial application as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity at 1 January 2019. Comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 17.

IIB-14

APPENDIX IIB

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE LVRUN GROUP

Under IAS 17, the Lvrun Group has already recognised upfront payments for leasehold lands and classified such payments as interests in leasehold land held for own use under operating leases, which is separately presented in the consolidated statement of financial position. Upon application of IFRS 16 from 1 January 2019, the interests in leasehold land held for own use under operating leases were reclassified to other properties leased for own use within the line item of property, plant and equipment.

The following table summarises the impacts of the adoption of IFRS 16 on the Lvrun Group's consolidated statement of financial position:

  1. Subsidiaries
    Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Lvrun Group. The Lvrun Group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. When assessing whether the Lvrun Group has power. Only substantive rights (held by the Lvrun Group and other parties) are considered.
    An investment in a subsidiary is consolidated into the Historical Financial Information from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Intra-group balances, transactions and cash flows and any unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full in preparing the Historical Financial Information.
    Changes in the Lvrun Group's equity interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions, whereby adjustments are made to the amounts of controlling and non-controlling interests within consolidated equity to reflect the change in relative equity interests, but no adjustment are made to goodwill and no gain or loss is recognised.
    When the Lvrun Group loses control of a subsidiary, it is accounted for as a disposal of the entire equity interests in that subsidiary, with a resulting gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss. Any equity interests retained in that former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is recognised at fair value and this amount is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or, when appropriate, the cost on initial recognition of an investment an associate or joint venture.
    In Lvrun's statement of financial position, an investment in a subsidiary is stated at cost less impairment losses (see Note 2(g)(ii)), unless the investment is classified as held for sale (or included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale).

IIB-15

APPENDIX IIB

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE LVRUN GROUP

  1. Property, plant and equipment
    The following items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see Note 2(g)(ii)):
    • interests in leasehold land held for own use under operating leases; and
    • other items of plant and equipment.

The cost of self-constructed items of properly, plant and equipment includes the cost of materials, direct labour, the initial estimate, where relevant, of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and an appropriate proportion of production overheads and borrowing costs (see Note 2(s)).

Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item and are recognised in profit or loss on the date of retirement or disposal.

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment, less their estimated residual value, if any, using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Unexpired

term of the

- Interests in leasehold land held for own use under operating leases

- Buildings

10

- 20 years

- Plant and machinery

4

- 10 years

- Motor vehicles

4 - 5 years

- Computer equipment

3 - 5 years

Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost of the item is allocated on a reasonable basis between the parts and each part is depreciated separately. Both the useful life of an asset and its residual value, if any, are reviewed annually. No depreciation is provided in respect of construction in progress until it is completed and ready for its intended use.

  1. Leased assets
    At inception of a contract, the Lvrun Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control is conveyed where the customer has both the right to direct the use of the identified asset and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from that use.
    1. As a lessee
      1. Policy applicable from 1 January 2019
        Where the contract contains lease component(s) and non-lease component(s), the Lvrun Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and accounts for each lease component and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component for all leases.

IIB-16

APPENDIX IIB

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE LVRUN GROUP

At the lease commencement date, the Lvrun Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, except for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. When the Lvrun Group enters into a lease in respect of a low-value asset, the Lvrun Group decides whether to capitalise the lease on a lease-by-lease basis. The lease payments associated with those leases which are not capitalised are recognised as an expense on a systematic basis over the lease term.

Where the lease is capitalised, the lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, using a relevant incremental borrowing rate. After initial recognition, the lease liability is measured at amortised cost and interest expenses is calculated using the effective interest method. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement of the lease liability and hence are charged to profit or loss in the accounting period in which they are incurred.

The right-of-use asset recognised when a lease is capitalised is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability plus any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, and any initial direct costs incurred. Where applicable, the cost of the right-of-use assets also includes an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, discounted to their present value, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see Notes 2(e) and 2(g)(ii)).

The lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, or there is a change in the Lvrun Group's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or there is a change arising from the reassessment of whether the Lvrun Group will be reasonably certain to exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

The Lvrun Group presents right-of-use assets in 'property, plant and equipment' and presents lease liabilities separately in the statement of financial position.

  1. Policy applicable prior to 1 January 2019
    In the comparative periods, as a lessee the Lvrun Group classified leases which did not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership as operating leases.
    Where the Lvrun Group had the use of assets held under operating leases, payments made under the leases were charged to profit or loss in equal instalments over the accounting periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative basis was more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased asset. Lease incentives received were recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the aggregate net lease payments made.

APPENDIX IIB

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE LVRUN GROUP

  1. Credit losses and impairment of assets
    1. Credit losses from financial instruments, contract assets and lease receivables
      1. Policy applicable from 1 January 2018
        The Lvrun Group recognises a loss allowance for financial assets measured at amortised cost (including trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents).
        Financial assets measured at fair value, if any, are not subject to the ECL assessment. Measurement of ECLs
        ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all expected cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Lvrun Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Lvrun Group expects to receive).
        The expected cash shortfalls are discounted using the following discount rates where the effect of discounting is material:
        • trade and other receivables: effective interest rate determined at initial recognition or an approximation thereof;
        • variable-ratefinancial assets: current effective interest rate.

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Lvrun Group is exposed to credit risk.

In measuring ECLs, the Lvrun Group takes into account reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort. This includes information about past events, current conditions and forecast s of future economic conditions.

ECLs are measured on either of the following bases:

  • 12 months ECLs: these are losses that are expected to result from possible default events within the 12 months after the reporting dale; and
  • lifetime ECLs: these are losses that are expected to result from all possible default events over the expected lives of the items to which the ECL model applies.

Loss allowances for trade receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. ECLs on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix based on the Lvrun Group's historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors and an assessment of both the current and forecast general economic conditions at the reporting date.

For all other financial instruments, the Lvrun Group recognises a loss allowance equal to 12-month ECLs unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk of the financial instrument since initial recognition, in which case the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.

IIB-18

APPENDIX IIB

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE LVRUN GROUP

Significant increases in credit risk

In assessing whether the credit risk of a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Lvrun Group compares the risk of default occurring on the financial instrument assessed at the reporting date with that assessed at the date of initial recognition. In making this reassessment, the Lvrun Group considers that a default event occurs when (i) the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Lvrun Group in full, without recourse by the Lvrun Group to actions such as realising security (if any is held); or (ii) the financial asset is 90 days past due. The Lvrun Group considers both quantitative arid qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort.

In particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition:

  • failure to make payments of principal or interest on their contractually due dates;
  • an actual or expected significant deterioration in a financial instrument's external or internal credit rating (if available);
  • an actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor; and
  • existing or forecast changes in the market, economic or legal environment that have a significant adverse effect on the debtor's ability to meet its obligation to the Lvrun Group.

Depending on the nature of the financial instruments, the assessment of a significant increase in credit risk is performed on either an individual basis or a collective basis. When the assessment is performed on a collective basis, the financial instruments are grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics, such as past due status and credit risk ratings.

ECLs are remeasured at each reporting date to reflect changes in the financial instrument's credit risk since initial recognition. Any change in the ECL amount is recognised as an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss. The Lvrun Group recognises an impairment gain or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account, except for investments in debt securities that are measured at FVOCI (recycling), for which the loss allowance is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the fair value reserve (recycling).

Basis of calculation of interest income

Interest income recognised in accordance with note 2(q)(iii) is calculated based on the gross carrying amount of the financial asset unless the financial asset is credit-impaired, in which case interest income is calculated based on the amortised cost (i.e. the gross carrying amount less loss allowance) of the financial asset.

At each reporting date, the Lvrun Group assesses whether a financial asset is credit-impaired. A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.

IIB-19

APPENDIX IIB

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE LVRUN GROUP

Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable events:

-

significant financial difficulties of the debtor;

-

a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;

-

it becoming probable that the borrower will enter into bankruptcy or other financial

reorganisation;

-

significant changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that have

an adverse effect on the debtor; or

-

the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties of the

issuer.

Write-off policy

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset, lease receivable or contract asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Lvrun Group determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off.

Subsequent recoveries of an asset that was previously written off are recognised as a reversal of impairment in profit or loss in the period in which the recovery occurs.

  1. Policy applicable prior to 1 January 2018
    Prior to 1 January 2018, an "incurred loss" model was used to measure impairment losses on financial assets not classified as at FVPL (e.g. trade and other receivables). Under the "incurred loss" model, an impairment loss was recognised only when there was objective evidence of impairment. Objective evidence of impairment included:
    • significant financial difficulties of the debtor;
    • a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
    • it becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; and
    • significant changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that have an adverse effect on the debtor.

If any such evidence existed, an impairment loss was determined and recognised as follows:

For trade and other receivables and other financial assets carried at amortised cost, impairment loss was measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate, where the effect of discounting was material. This assessment was made collectively where these financial assets shared similar risk characteristics, such as similar past due status, and had not been individually assessed as impaired. Future cash flows for financial assets which were assessed for impairment collectively were based on historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to the collective group.

IIB-20

APPENDIX IIB

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE LVRUN GROUP

If in a subsequent period the amount of an impairment loss decreased and the decrease could be linked objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the impairment loss was reversed through profit or loss. A reversal of an impairment loss was only recognised to the extent that it did not result in the asset's carrying amount exceeding that which would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years.

When the recovery of a trade debtor or other financial assets carried at amortised cost was considered doubtful but not remote, associated impairment losses were recorded using an allowance account. When the Lvrun Group was satisfied that recovery was remote, the amount considered irrecoverable was written off against the gross carrying amount of those assets directly. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously charged to the allowance account were reversed against the allowance account. Other changes in the allowance account and subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off directly were recognised in profit or loss.

  1. Impairment of other non-current assets
    Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to identify indications that the following assets may be impaired or an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased:
    • property, plant and equipment;
    • pre-paidinterests in leasehold land classified as being held under an operating lease; and
    • investment in subsidiary in Lvrun's statement of financial position.

If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.

  • Calculation of recoverable amount
    The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows independently (i.e. a cash-generating unit).
  • Recognition of impairment losses
    An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss if the carrying amount of an asset, or the cash-generating unit to which it belongs, exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated to reduce the carrying amount of the assets in the unit (or group of units) on a pro rata basis, except that the carrying value of an asset will not be reduced below its individual fair value less costs of disposal (if measurable) or value in use (if determinable).
  • Reversals of impairment losses
    An impairment loss is reserved if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.
    A reversal of an impairment loss is limited to the asset's carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the year in which the reversals are recognised.

IIB-21

APPENDIX IIB

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE LVRUN GROUP

  1. Inventories
    Inventories are assets which are held for sale in the ordinary course of business, in the process of production for such sale of in the form of materials or supplies to be consumed in the production process or in the rendering of services.
    Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
    Cost is calculated using the weighted average cost formula and comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
    Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
    When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised.
    The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories is recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.
  2. Contract liabilities
    A contract liability is recognised when the customer pays non-refundable consideration before the Lvrun Group recognises the related revenue (see Note 2(q)(i) and (ii)). A contract liability would also be recognised if the Lvrun Group has an unconditional right to receive non-refundable consideration before the Lvrun Group recognises the related revenue. In such cases, a corresponding receivable would also be recognised (see Note 2(j)).
    For a single contract with the customer, either a new contract asset or a net contract liability is presented. For multiple contracts, contract assets and contract liabilities of unrelated contracts are not presented on a net basis.
    When the contract includes a significant financing component, the contract balance includes interest accrued under the effective interest method (see Note 2(q)(iii)).
    Policy prior to 1 January 2018
    Amounts received before the related work was performed were presented as "receipts in advance from customers" under "trade and other payables". These balances have been reclassified on 1 January 2018 as shown in Note 15 (see Note 2(c)(ii)).
  3. Trade and other receivables
    A receivable is recognised when the Lvrun Group has an unconditional right to receive consideration. A right to receive consideration is unconditional if only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due. If revenue has been recognised before the Lvrun Group has an unconditional right to receive consideration, the amount is presented as a contract asset.
    Receivables are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method less allowance for credit losses (see Note 2(g)(i)).

IIB-22

APPENDIX IIB

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE LVRUN GROUP

  1. Cash and cash equivalents
    Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at hank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within three months of maturity at acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents are assessed for ECLs in accordance with the policy set out in Note 2(g)(i).
  2. Trade and other payables
    Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently stated at amortised cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.
  3. Interest-bearingborrowings
    Interest-hearing borrowings are measured initially at fair value less transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense is recognised in accordance with the Lvrun Group's accounting policy for borrowing costs (see Note 2(s)).
  4. Employee benefits
    Salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave, contributions to defined contribution retirement plans and the cost of non-monetary benefits are accrued in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees. Where payment or settlement is deferred and the effect would be material, these amounts are stated at their present values.
  5. Income tax
    Income tax for the year comprises current tax. Current tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the relevant amounts of tax are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
    Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
  6. Provisions and contingent liabilities
    Provisions are recognised when the Lvrun Group has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation.
    Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

APPENDIX IIB

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE LVRUN GROUP

  1. Revenue and other income
    Income is classified by the Lvrun Group as revenue when it arises from the sales of goods or provision of services in the ordinary course of the Lvrun Group's business.
    Revenue is recognised when control over a product or service is transferred to the customer at the amount of promised consideration to which the Lvrun Group is expected to be entitled, excluding those amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue excludes value added tax or other sales taxes and is after deduction of any trade discounts.
    Further details of the Lvrun Group's revenue and other income recognition policies are as follows:
    1. Sale of goods
      The Lvrun Group's revenue from sale of goods is attributable to sales of chemical products. Revenue is recognised when the customer takes possession of and accepts the products. If the products are a partial fulfilment of a contract covering other goods and/or services, then the amount of revenue recognised is an appropriate proportion of the total transaction price under the contract, allocated between all the goods and services promised under the contract on a relative stand-alone selling price basis.
    2. Rendering of services
      The Lvrun Group's revenue from rendering of services is attributable to provision of handling service of hazardous waste. Revenue from rendering of services is recognised when the related services are rendered.
    3. Interest income
      Interest income is recognised as it accrues under the effective interest method using the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset. For financial assets measured at amortised cost that are not credit-impaired, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset. For credit-impaired financial assets, the effective interest rate is applied to the amortised cost (i.e. gross carrying amount net of loss allowance) of the asset (see Note 2(g)(i)).
    4. Government grants
      Government grants are recognised in the statement of financial position initially when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and that the Lvrun Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them. Grants that compensate the Lvrun Group for expenses incurred are recognised as income in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses are incurred.
  2. Translation of foreign currencies
    Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling al the end of the reporting period. Exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss.
    Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. The transaction date is the date on which the Lvrun Group initially recognises such non-monetary assets or liabilities.

  1. Borrowing costs
    Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
    The capitalisation of borrowing costs as part of the cost of a qualifying asset commences when expenditure for the asset is being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended or ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are interrupted or complete.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE LVRUN GROUP

  1. Accounting judgement and estimates
    In the process of applying the Lvrun Group's accounting policies, management has made the following accounting judgement:
    1. Expected credit loss for trade and other receivables
      The management maintains loss allowance for trade and other receivables issued for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the debtors to make the required payments. The management bases the estimates on the historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors and assessments of both current and forecast general economic conditions. If the financial condition of the debtors were to deteriorate, and/or the existing/forecast changes have a negative impact on the general economic conditions, credit losses would be higher than estimated.
    2. Estimate of useful lives of property, plant and equipment
      The Lvrun Group determines the estimated useful lives and residual values in order to ascertain the amount of depreciation charges for each reporting period. These estimates are based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment of similar nature and functions. The Lvrun Group will revise the depreciation charge where useful lives or residual values are different from those previously estimated.
  2. Revenue and segment information
    The principal activity of the Lvrun Group is the provision of hazardous waste treatment service in the PRC.
    Disaggregation of revenue
    Disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers by major service lines is as follows:

APPENDIX IIB

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE LVRUN GROUP

Because all the contracts with customers of the Lvrun Group have an original expected duration of one year or less, the Lvrun Group applies the practical expedient in paragraph 121 of IFRS 15 to all the contracts with customers and no information related to revenue expected to be recognised in the future under the Lvrun Group's existing contracts is required to disclose.

The chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the directors of the Lvrun Group. The directors review the Lvrun Group's internal reporting in order to assess performance of the Lvrun Group's operating segment - Hazardous waste handling in the PRC. Hazardous waste handling segment represents the sole operating segment of the Lvrun Group.

The financial information provided to the chief operating decision-maker is measured in a manner consistent with that of the Historical Financial Information.

The operating entities of the Lvrun Group are domiciled in the PRC. All revenue of the Lvrun Group from external customers are generated in the PRC. Besides, all of the assets of the Lvrun Group are located in the PRC. Thus no geographical information is presented.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE LVRUN GROUP

  1. Dividends
    Lvrun did not declare any dividends during the Relevant Periods.
  2. Capital management
    The Lvrun Group's primary objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Lvrun Group's ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for equity shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk and by securing access to finance at a reasonable cost.
    The Lvrun Group actively and regularly reviews and manages its capital structure to maintain a balance between the higher equity shareholder returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position, and makes adjustments to the capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions.
    Lvrun is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Exposure to credit, liquidity, interest rate and currency risks arises in the normal course of the Lvrun Group's business. The Lvrun Group's exposure to these risks and the financial risk management policies and practices used by the Lvrun Group to manage these risks are described below.

18 Purchase of assets and assuming of liabilities

In December 2018, Lvrun acquired 100% of equity interests in Leyuan New Material for a cash consideration of RMB53,600,000.

Prior to the acquisition, the principal activities of Leyuan New Material were leasing the land use rights and buildings to Lvrun. The underlying set of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was not integrated in forming a business to generate revenue. As such, the directors consider the acquisition is a purchase of assets and assuming of liabilities which does not constitute a business combination for accounting purposes.

The directors considered that the total purchase consideration paid represented the fair value of assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The acquisition had the following effect on the Lvrun Group's assets and liabilities on the acquisition date:

RMB

Property, plant and equipment

42,813,981

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE LVRUN GROUP

19 Financial risk management and fair values of financial instruments

  1. Credit risk
    Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Lvrun Group. The Lvrun Group's credit risk is primarily attributable to trade and other receivables. The Lvrun Group's exposure to credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents is limited because the counterparties are banks and financial institutions with high credit standing, for which the Lvrun Group considers to have low credit risk.
    The Lvrun Group does not provide any guarantees which would expose the Lvrun Group to credit risk.
    Trade and other receivables
    The Lvrun Groups exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer rather than the industry in which the customers operate and therefore significant concentrations of credit risk primarily arise when the Lvrun Group has significant exposure to individual customers. At 31 December 2017 and 2018 and 30 June 2019, 72%, 15% and 23% of the total trade receivables, respectively, was due from the Lvrun Group's largest debtor, and 88%, 52% and 49% of the total trade receivables, respectively, was due from the five largest debtors.
    The Lvrun Group measures loss allowances for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, which is calculated using a provision matrix. As the Lvrun Group's historical credit loss experience does not indicate significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished between the Lvrun Group's different customer bases.
    The following table provides information about the Lvrun Group's exposure to credit risk and ECLs for trade receivables as at 31 December 2018 and 30 June 2019.

Expected loss rates are based on actual loss experience. These rates are adjusted to reflect differences between economic conditions during the period over which the historical data has been collected, current conditions and the Lvrun Group's view of economic conditions over the expected lives of the receivables.

Comparative information under IAS 39

Prior to 1 January 2018, an impairment loss was recognised only when there was objective evidence of impairment (see Note 2(g)(i) - policy applicable prior to 1 January 2018). At 31 December 2017, no trade receivables were determined to be impaired. The aging analysis of trade debtors that were not considered to be impaired was as follows:

31 December

2017

RMB

Neither past due nor impaired

9,403,213

88,293

61 - 90 days past due

159,450

More than 90 days past due

165,089

9,867,957

Receivables that were neither past due nor impaired related to a wide range of customers for whom there was no recent history of default.

Receivables that were past due but not impaired related to a number of independent customers that had a good track record with the Lvrun Group. Based on past experience, management believed that no impairment allowance was necessary in respect of these balances as there had been no significant change in credit quality and the balances were still considered fully recoverable.

  1. Liquidity risk
    The Lvrun Group's policy is to regularly monitor its liquidity requirements and its compliance with lending covenants, to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash and adequate committed lines of funding from major financial institutions to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.
    The following table shows the remaining contractual maturities at the end of each reporting period of the Lvrun Group's non-derivative financial liabilities, which are based on contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest payments computed using contractual rates or, if floating, based on rates current at the end of each reporting period) and the earliest dates the Lvrun Group can be required to pay:

  1. Interest rate risk
    Interest rate risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Lvrun Group does not subject to significant interest rate risk during the Relevant Periods.
  2. Currency risk

The Lvrun Group has minimal exposures to foreign currency risk as most of its business transactions, assets and liabilities are principally denominated in RMB. The Lvrun Group currently does not have a foreign current hedging policy in respect of foreign currency transactions, assets and liabilities. The Lvrun Group will monitor its foreign current exposures closely and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.

23 Possible impact of amendments, new standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective for the Relevant Periods

Up to the date of issue of Historical Financial Information, the IASB has issued a number of amendments, new standards and interpretations which are not yet effective for the Relevant Periods and which have not been adopted in this Historical Financial Information. These include the following which may be relevant to the Lvrun Group.

Effective for accounting periods

beginning on or after

Amendments to IFRS 3, Definition of a business

1 January 2020

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8, Definition of material

1 January 2020

The Lvrun Group is in the process of making an assessment of what the impact of these developments is expected to be in the period of initial application. So far it has concluded that the adoption of them is unlikely to have a significant impact on the Historical Financial Information.

SUBSEQUENT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

No audited financial statements have been prepared by Lvrun or any of its subsidiaries in respect of any period subsequent to 30 June 2019.

APPENDIX IIB

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE LVRUN GROUP

Outlook and Future Prospect

Before 2015, the generation of hazardous waste in Jiangsu Province had increased at an annual rate of around 10%. In recent years, following the strict implementation of environmental rules and regulations, the average annual growth rate had been increased to over 30%. With such notable increase in hazardous waste quantity, the current total treatment capacity within the Jiangsu Province to recycle the hazardous waste is insufficient to cater for the increase in market demand. The gap even widened when the substandard treatment facilities were being forced to close down under the strict enforcement of the environmental rules and regulations. This had been reflected on the increase in local hazardous waste treatment prices.

Looking ahead, the Lvrun Group is contemplating a Phase II expansion in 2020 which enhances its treatment capacity and brings in greater synergy and production efficiency. Such increased capacity would allow the Lvrun Group to further penetrate into the hazardous waste treatment market in the Jiangsu Province and to compete with other market players in the region. Together with the process automation on its existing operation completed in 2019 and strengthening of its sales management, the Lvrun Group is able to capture any potential opportunities to provide a comprehensive and quality treatment service and generate satisfactory returns.

Furthermore, the Target Group had recently established a new joint venture project in Kaifeng City, Henan Province to construct a hazardous waste treatment line and an incineration facility to deliver comprehensive hazardous waste treatment services. This would strategically expand the Target Group's presence geographically and maintain its growth momentum.

VALUATION REPORT ON THE LVRUN GROUP

3.4 Industry Overview Regulations

Solid or liquid waste that is corrosive, toxic, flammable, reactive or infectious or possibly has a detrimental effect on health of people or the environment is defined as hazardous waste. According to the National Hazardous Waste List (Revised 2019), hazardous waste can be subdivided into 46 categories and hundreds of subcategories, which mostly come from industrial production and medical facilities.

The growth of the Economy led to the increase of the output volume of hazardous waste. To manage the development, the regulations were gradually implemented. Since year 2012, the government started to put high pressure on the monitoring of disposal of hazardous waste and in year 2018, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of the People's Republic of China started an action of "Waste Clean 2018" that focused on the illegal environmental activities along the Yangtze River side.

The national regulation clearly requires the procedures if the hazardous waste should be transported across the province and each province has further different practices to manage and in general control strictly the across-province transportation of hazardous waste. As a result, the hazardous wastes are now more often disposed and treated within the province.

Moreover, a specific license should be applied for treatment of hazardous waste and should be renewed in case of expiry or upon expansion. The license includes a capacity volume and in-scope categories of hazardous waste treatment. The hazardous waste treatment entities cannot operate out of the set volume and categories.

However, according to the second data source from the first national pollution source census bulletin2, published also by the National Bureau of State Statistics of China in year 2010, the output volume of Hazardous waste - National in year 2007 is 4573.69 ten thousand tons, which is four times of the Statistical yearbook of china. The difference is explained in many industry reports that the statistics in the Statistical yearbook of china were collected via self-declaration by enterprises and there were also differences of statistical caliber. It was then concluded by the industry experts that the statistics in the Statistical yearbook of china could be understated and there were higher hidden volume of hazardous waste that were produced during the time, out of the statistics. By referring to the Compound Annualized Growth Rate (the "CAGR") from year 2011 to year 2017 at 12.4%, the output volume of hazardous waste in China could reach 14784.06 ten thousand tons in year 2017, based on the result of the first national pollution source census bulletin. The second national pollution source census bulletin is not yet finalized and will research on the base year of 2018.

The demand is high according to above researches, while on the supply side, in response to the policy of the national government, the provincial government speeded up the approval of new facilities of hazardous waste treatment. According to the Annual Report on Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Wastes in Large and Medium Cities, the quantity of licenses has been increased by over 10% in the period from year 2006 to year 2017, however the actual volume of Hazardous Waste Treatment is still significantly lower than the approved capacity, i.e. 20% - 30%, due to various of reasons, e.g. delay of construction due to technical reasons or lack of competent work force.

Due to the shortage of supply in the short run, the business opportunity existed, and merge

& acquisition was intensified, and many cross-border giants enter into the market, e.g. Agile real estate. Therefore, the market is in the trend of convergence to key big players.

3.5 Valuation Methodology

In order to conclude our valuation, we have considered the three generally accepted approaches to

valuation: market approach; income approach and cost approach and adopted the approaches deemed most relevant will then be selected for use.

APPENDIX IV

VALUATION REPORT ON THE LVRUN GROUP

Market Approach

The market approach references actual transactions in the equity of the enterprise being valued or transactions in similar enterprises that are traded in the public markets. Third-party transactions in the equity of an enterprise generally represent the best estimate of fair market value if they are done at arm's length. In using transactions from similar enterprises, there are two primary methods. The first, often referred to as the Guideline Transactions Method, involves determining valuation multiples from sales of enterprises with similar financial and operating characteristics and applying those multiples to the subject enterprise. The second, often referred to as the Guideline Public Company Method, involves identifying and selecting publicly traded enterprises with financial and operating characteristics similar to the enterprise being valued. Once publicly traded enterprises are identified, valuation multiples can be derived, adjusted for comparability, and then applied to the subject enterprise to estimate the value of its equity or invested capital.

Income Approach

The income approach is based on the premise that the value of a security or asset is the present value of the future earning capacity that is available for distribution to investors in the security or asset. A commonly used methodology under the income approach is a discounted cash flow ("DCF") analysis. A DCF analysis involves forecasting the appropriate cash flow stream over an appropriate period and then discounting it back to a present value at an appropriate discount rate. This discount rate should consider the time value of money, inflation, and the risk inherent in ownership of the asset or security interest being valued.

Cost Approach

A third approach to the valuation is the cost approach. The discrete valuation of an asset using an asset-based approach is based upon the concept of replacement as an indicator of value. A prudent investor would pay no more for an asset than the amount for which he or she could replace the asset new. A commonly used methodology under the cost approach is the Adjusted Net Assets Value Method which calls for a summation of the fair values of all assets belonging to an entity and a reduction of that aggregate by the fair values of that entity's total liabilities. The fair value is represented by the adjusted book value of total assets net of liabilities owed to any person other than the beneficial owners of the subject company, after adjusting for any necessary discounts or premiums to the book values of the assets and liabilities to reflect their market values.

Selected Approach

We have determined to adopt the income approach as the appropriate valuation method mainly based on the fact that the Management is able to provide a set of cash flow forecast with supportable, verifiable and explainable assumptions. These forecasts included projections of different streams of revenue, costs of revenue, operating expenses, administrative expenses, working capital projection and the expected capital expenditure of the Lvrun Group over the forecast period. The cost approach is not appropriate as it cannot independently recognize the economic benefits of ownership of the business. The market approach is not appropriate due to the

IV-9

APPENDIX IV

VALUATION REPORT ON THE LVRUN GROUP

fact that the Lvrun Group is private and a project company with operational function solely. Direct comparison with public companies is less preferred due to the fact that guideline company and valuation subject rarely are exactly the same in organizational structure and development stage. The income approach was considered to be the most appropriate valuation approach in the valuation, as it takes the firm-specific issues of the Lvrun Group into consideration.

3.6 Income Approach

Performing a discounted cash flow analysis requires the preparation and analysis of a reliable forecast of the expected future financial performance of the Lvrun Group. Forecasting cash flow to all investors requires the projection of revenues, operating expenses, taxes, working capital requirements, and capital expenditures for a future period.

Projected cash flow to shareholders must then be discounted to a present value using a discount rate, which appropriately accounts for the market cost of capital as well as the risk and nature of the subject cash flows. Finally, an assumption must be made regarding the sustainable long-term rate of earnings growth at the end of the projection period, and a terminal or residual value of the remaining cash flows must be estimated and discounted to a present value. The sum of the present values of the projected cash flows and the terminal value equals the value of the enterprise.

The following section presents some of the key assumptions of the financial forecast used in the DCF analysis performed in this valuation. The Projection was prepared for the period from 1 July 2019 through 31 December 2024 (the "Projection Period"), and no terminal growth rate was used. The Projection was based on the historical financial information of year 2017, year 2018 and the first half of year 2019.

Forecast Profit & Loss Account

For purposes of our performing this analysis, the Management provided a detailed revenue and expense forecast. The revenue forecast included a projection of revenues by source, including home fee income, other service fees and government grants. The expense forecast included a projection of personnel costs and operating expenses related to revenue. Income taxes had been estimated by applying the corresponding effective income tax rate, as estimated by the Management.

Revenue: Revenue mainly includes waste disposal fee. Given their business nature, historical operating data and the latest market conditions, the Management expected the volume would remain stable in the foreseeable future and the price shall increase by 2% in year 2020 and keep stable afterwards, based on the historical financial data and the expected demand in China.

According to industry report as extracted from IFinD database, the average VAT-inclusive sales price in the industry is 2,600 RMB/Ton. The forecasted VAT-inclusive sales price since the year 2020 and on is 2,522.98 RMB/Ton, which is lower than the average price. On this basis, we understood that the sales price in the Projection was reasonably forecasted.

IV-10

APPENDIX IV

VALUATION REPORT ON THE LVRUN GROUP

Lvrun currently holds the license that allows Lvrun to treat in total 50,000 tons of hazardous wastes, and is in the application process of another 100,000 tons of hazardous waste. The environmental inspection approval was issued for the expansion of 100,000 tons of hazardous waste, but the land-use-right for the new plant was not yet acquired. Due to the fact that the cost structure and pricing strategy will be different in terms of the post-expansion plan, and so are the supply and demand in the market in the long-term view, the Management prepared the Project without consideration of expansion plan, as the revenue stream of phase II cannot be reliably estimated as at the report date. We are of the view that it is reasonable to exclude the expansion plan in forecasting the profit or loss of Lvrun Group.

Staff costs: the Management expected that in realization of the current capacity, the headcount plan is approximately 149, and annual salary shall increase by 5% each year during the Projection Period. With reference to the national statistics3 and in accordance with our historical experiences as well as consideration of long-term efficiency improvement, the annual increase of 5% for total staff costs is reasonably conservative.

Operating Expenses: Except staff costs, the operating expenses mainly include cost of materials, utility, transportation costs of collecting hazardous waste and disposing by-products, as well as the commission expenses to the agents. The cost of materials and utility costs are highly correlated with the treatment volume and are forecasted with the forecasted volume and unit cost of materials and utilities. The unit cost of materials is forecasted to increase by 3% annually during the Projection Period, with reference to the annual inflation as extracted from IFinD database. The transportation costs and commission expenses are highly correlated with the collection and treatment volume, and are forecasted with the forecasted volume and unit cost of transportation and commission respectively.

Depreciation and Amortisation Expenses: Depreciation and amortisation expenses were estimated based on the existing fixed assets and planned Capital Expenditure (the "CAPEX"). The annual depreciation rate on fixed assets was according to the accounting policy of Lvrun.

Interest Expenses: Lvrun had no plan to raise debt financing and there was no interest expense to be incurred.

Income Taxes: The enterprise income tax rate is 25% in PRC but Lvrun enjoyed the tax preferential policy of 3 year exemption and 3 year half deduction since year 2017. Therefore the applicable enterprise income tax rate throughout the Projection Period is as follows:

Year

APPENDIX IV

VALUATION REPORT ON THE LVRUN GROUP

Working Capital

Based on the assumptions of sales and purchase activities, the Management estimated the Days Sale Outstanding (the "DSO") and Days Procurement Outstanding (the "DPO") per the historical payment conditions. DSO = 90 days and DPO = 90 days.

Capital Expenditure

The Lvrun Group was expected to spend no more than RMB10,000,000 and RMB4,000,000 respectively to refurnish the equipment and pay for the remaining costs of land-use-right. Given that the capacity remained constant and the major renovation would take place in the year 2019 and get paid in the year 2020, there were no other material spending on new plant improvements, furniture and fixtures that were expected to be incurred in other years and only replacement CAPEX was assumed during the Projection Period.

Cash Flow Adjustments

In order to arrive at free cash flow to equity in our valuation model, net income was adjusted for certain items in order to estimate the cash return on the assets that generate the forecast revenue. First, noncash items, including depreciation, and after-tax interest expenses, if any, were added back to net income. Second, forecasted capital expenditures, if any, and investment in operating working capital were subtracted. Working capital requirements were forecast across the entire Projection Period by analysing growth in operating expenses.

Discount Rate Estimation

The discount rate applied to the forecasted cash flows and terminal value must adequately reflect the nature of the subject investment and the risk of the underlying cash flows. For purposes of our analysis, the appropriate discount rate is a cost of equity since the Lvrun Group did not have the net debt. The cost of equity is developed through the application of the Capital Asset Pricing Model ("CAPM") with reference to the required rates of return demanded by investors for similar projects. A major requirement in generating the cost of equity is to identify companies that are comparable to the Lvrun Group in terms of business nature and associated risks.

Selection of Comparable Companies

In the valuation model, we have based on the following criteria to select the comparable companies we think fit for this valuation: (1) provision of waste treatment services, (2) income from the major operations as mentioned in previous point shall be a majority part of the respective overall revenue; (3) has operating profits; (4) liability-asset ratio shall be less than 100% and (5) listed in a recognisable exchange in People's Republic of China or Hong Kong for over five years.

VALUATION REPORT ON THE LVRUN GROUP

CAPM

The CAPM states that an investor requires excess returns to compensate for any risk that is correlated to the risk in the return from the stock market as a whole but requires no excess return for other risks. Risks that are correlated to the risk in the return from the stock market as a whole are referred to as systematic and measured by a parameter called beta, whereas other risks are referred to as non-systematic. The cost of equity for the Lvrun Group is the sum of the risk-free rate return, the equity risk premium required by investors to compensate for the systematic risk assumed with adjustments for increment for risk differentials of versus those of the comparable companies, which include risk adjustments for size and other risk factors in relation to the comparable companies.

The formula of CAPM is defined as follows:

Re=Rf + ß(Rm) + Rc

where: Re = Return on equity Rf = Risk-free rate

  • = Beta

Rm = Market risk premium

Rc = Premium for size and other risk factors

The risk-free rate is 3.85%, based upon the yields on 30 years' government bonds in People's Republic of China as of the Valuation Date. The market risk premium is 7.71% as sourced from the IFinD database and represents the average total return of common stocks in excess of the income return of long-term securities in China. In order to estimate the appropriate beta for use in our analysis, we researched companies in a similar business as the Lvrun Group. Our sample included 5 listed companies. The equity beta for each company in our sample was researched with the reference base of average total return of common stocks. Based on their levered betas that were extracted from IFinD as at the Valuation Date, we first computed the unlevered betas from the market data by adjusting their respective liability-to-equity ratio. We then applied the liability-to-equity ratios and the statutory tax rates of the Lvrun Group to derive the re-levered betas. The premium for size and other risk factors is 1% and was applied in the calculation of the cost of equity after the comprehensive consideration of the additional risk associated with the operation of the Lvrun Group.

The unlevered betas of the comparables are as follows:

APPENDIX IV

VALUATION REPORT ON THE LVRUN GROUP

According to our analysis, the cost of equity of the Lvrun Group as at the Valuation Date was 10.45% respectively.

Terminal Value Calculation

The terminal value was based on a terminal value cash flow multiple. Such multiple was supposed to be calculated by subtracting a terminal growth rate from a cost of equity and taking the inverse, which equals the capitalization rate of the Lvrun Group. No terminal growth rate was determined based upon the fact that Lvrun had a capacity limit of 50,000 tons of hazardous waste treatment.

3.7 Key Assumptions

This valuation is subject to the following major assumptions:

  1. There will be no major changes in the existing political, legal, fiscal and economic conditions in which the Lvrun Group carries on their businesses;
  2. There will be no major changes in the current taxation law in the country where the Lvrun Group operates, that the rates of tax payable will remain unchanged and that all applicable laws and regulations will be complied with;
  3. There will be no material changes in the industry in which the Lvrun Group involve that would materially affect the revenues, profits, cash flows attributable to the Lvrun Group, e.g. the sales price will be stable in the forecast period;
  4. The Lvrun Group as well as their partners will obtain the necessary licenses and approvals to provide their service;
  5. Market situation, such as exchange rates and interest rates will not differ materially from those presently prevailing;
  6. The availability of finance will not be a constraint on the forecasted growth of operations of the Lvrun Group;
  7. The Lvrun Group will successfully maintain their competitiveness and market share through optimising the utilization of their resources and expanding their marketing networks;
  8. The Lvrun Group can keep in line with the latest development of the industry so that their competitiveness and profitability can be sustained;
  9. The Lvrun Group will utilize and maintain their current operational, administrative and technical facilities to maintain their sales;
  10. The Lvrun Group will be able to secure funds to repay their debts when they fall due;

IV-17

APPENDIX IV

VALUATION REPORT ON THE LVRUN GROUP

  1. The Lvrun Group will retain and have competent management, key personnel, technical staff and stable work locations to support their ongoing operations;
  2. Industry trends and market conditions for related industries will not deviate materially from economic forecasts;
  3. The Projection has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting estimates which have been arrived at after due and careful consideration;
  4. No perpetual growth rate is adopted, due to the limits of capacity at 50,000 tons of hazardous waste treatment without considering further expansions;
  5. No event of force majeure, e.g. accidents, shall take place among the forecast period; Detailed calculation is shown as below:

FCF = NOPAT + NCE - NCI - InvFA - InvNWC

Where:

FCF = free cash flow

NOPAT = net operating profit after tax

NCE = non-cash expenses

NCI = non-cash incomes

Inv FA = investment in capital expenditure

Inv NWC = investment in net working capital

The results were then discounted using a discount rate, or the cost of capital, to determine the present value of the expected cash flows.

The present value of the expected cash flows was computed using the following formula:

PVFCF = FCF1/(1+r)1 + FCF 2/(1+r)2 +... + FCF n/(1+r)n

Where:

PVFCF = present value of free cash flows

FCF = free cash flow

We have reviewed the Profit Forecast upon which the Valuation has been made, for which you as the Directors are solely responsible, and have discussed with the management of the Company and the Valuer regarding the bases and assumptions upon which the Profit Forecast has been prepared. We have also considered the letter from KPMG, Certified Public Accountants, dated 31 December 2019 as set out in Appendix IV of the Circular addressed to you regarding the calculations upon which the Profit Forecast has been made. We noted that in the opinion of KPMG, so far as the calculations are concerned, that the Profit Forecast has been properly compiled, in all material respects, in accordance with the bases and assumptions adopted by the Directors as set out in the Valuation.

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

The following is the text of a letter and a valuation certificate, prepared for the purpose of incorporation in this circular received from Citiland Surveyors Limited, an independent valuer, in connection with its valuation as at 30 September 2019 of the property interests of the Lvrun Group.

The Board of Directors

Integrated Waste Solutions Group Holdings Limited

Integrated Waste Solutions Building

8 Chung Cheong Street

Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate

Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

In accordance with the instruction of Integrated Waste Solutions Group Holdings Limited (hereinafter referred to as the "Company") to value the property interests (hereinafter referred to as the "Property") held by Leyuan New Material Technology Co., Ltd. ("Leyuan New Material") and Lianyungang Lvrun Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. ("Lvrun") (hereinafter together referred to as the "Lvrun Group") in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"), we confirm that we have carried out inspection, made relevant enquiries and searches and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purposes of providing you with our opinion of the value of the property interests as at 30 September 2019 (the "date of valuation").

Our valuation of the property interests represents the market value which we would define as intended to mean "the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's-length transaction, after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently, and without compulsion".

Where, due to the nature of the buildings and structures of the properties in the PRC, there are no market sales comparables readily available, the property interests have been valued on the basis of their depreciated replacement cost ("DRC").

DRC is "the current cost of replacing an asset with its modern equivalent asset less deductions for physical deterioration and all relevant forms of obsolescence and optimization". In our valuation, no consideration has been taken into account of alternative uses(s) or development option(s); nor have we considered any redevelopment potential of the property.

Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the seller sells the property interests in the market without the benefit of a deferred term contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement, which could serve to affect the value of the property interests.

V-1

APPENDIX V

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

No allowance has been made in our report for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on any of the property interests valued nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the Property is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature, which could affect its value.

In valuing the property interests, we have complied with all the requirements contained in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited; "RICS Valuation - Global Standards 2017" published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors; and "HKIS Valuation Standards 2017" published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.

We have relied to a very considerable extent on the information given by the Company and the Lvrun Group and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as tenure, planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, particulars of occupancy, lettings, and all other relevant matters.

We have been, in some instances, provided by the Company and the Lvrun Group with extracts of the title documents relating to the property interests in the PRC. Where possible, we have searched the original documents to verify the existing titles to the property interests in the PRC and any material encumbrances that might be attached to the property interests or any lease amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us. We have relied considerably on the advice given by the Company's PRC legal adviser - Jiangsu Cang You Law Firm, concerning the validity of the Lvrun Group's titles to the property interests.

We have not carried out detailed site measurements to verify the correctness of the site areas in respect of the Property but have assumed that the site areas shown on the documents and official site plans handed to us are correct. All documents and contracts have been used as reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximations. No on-site measurement has been taken.

We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the interior of the Property. However, no structural survey has been made, but in the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects. We are not, however, able to report whether the Property is free of rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No test is carried out on any of the services.

Inspection of the Property was carried out on 24 September 2019 by Mr. Desmond Wong and Mr. Jantzen Pang and Mr. Wong is a Chartered Surveyor/Registered Professional Surveyor and has more than 20 years of experience in the valuation of properties in the PRC.

We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Company and the Lvrun Group. We have also sought confirmation from the Lvrun Group that no material factors have been omitted from the information supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view, and we have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld.
