- 11 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Basis of the Consideration

As disclosed in the Announcement, the consideration for the Acquisition was arrived at after arm's length negotiations between the Purchaser and the Vendor and was determined after having taken into account various relevant factors including:

  1. the net liabilities of the Target Group as at 31 March 2020;
  2. the Property Valuation;
  3. the Equipment Valuation;
  4. the Shareholder's Loan; and
  5. a 10.00% discount on the aggregate of the Shareholder's Loan and the adjusted net liabilities of the Target Group.

Audited Adjusted Net Liabilities and the consideration for the Acquisition

In determining the Initial Consideration, the unaudited net liabilities of the Target Group was adjusted to reflect its fair value by taking into account the valuation of the Target Property of approximately JPY1,034,000,000 and the valuation of the plant and equipment of the Target Group of approximately JPY38,248,800 as at 22 June 2020. The Final Consideration, which amounts to JPY848,394,046, is calculated based on the adjustment as described in the paragraph headed "Adjustment mechanism" in the Announcement. The following table demonstrates the calculations of the audited adjusted net liabilities of the Target Group (the "Audited Adjusted Net Liabilities") and the Final Consideration:

- 12 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors note that the Target Group has net liabilities, which was mainly attributable to the loan from shareholder (i.e. the Vendor) and the Target Group has no third party loans. The Shareholders' Loan was provided by the Vendor to the Target Group for the purpose of acquisition of Yoichi Country by Doof Japan in May 2017 and to support the operation of the Target Group. The nature of the Shareholders' Loan, in substance, is similar to injection of capital to the Target Group. Therefore, when determining the consideration, the net liabilities of the Target Group was adjusted to add back the amount of the Shareholders' Loan, together with the valuation of the property, plant and equipment of the Target Group, so as to reflect the fair value of the key assets of the Target Group. After the Completion, the Group may consider to capitalise the Shareholders' Loan to transform the loan amount into share capital of Doof Japan. It is also noted that the consideration of the Acquisition will be settled by way of issue of new Shares at the Issue Price which was at a discount of approximately 9.76% to the closing price of the Shares of HK$0.410 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 14 July 2020. Having considered this, 10% discount is also applied to the aggregate of the Shareholder's Loan and the adjusted net liabilities of the Target Group.

The Directors noted that the COVID-19 situation and travel restrictions in Japan has significantly and adversely affected the business of the Target Group. However, the Directors believe that there is growth potential in the hospitality sector in Japan in the long run. Furthermore, as mentioned above, when determining the consideration of the Acquisition, the Group has taken into account of the fair value of the key assets of the Target Group as at 22 June 2020, which was a date after the outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020. The Directors believe that consideration of the Acquisition has included an updated valuation of the Target Group.

Having considered the above, particularly the fair value of the key assets of the Target Group when determining the Final Consideration, the amount of capital injected by the Vendor in the form of Shareholder's Loan, together with a 10% discount to the aggregate of the Shareholder's Loan and the adjusted net liabilities of the Target Group, which approximates to the discount of the Issue Price when compared to the closing price of the Shares on the date of the Acquisition Agreement, the Directors are of the view that the consideration of the Acquisition (including the 10% discount) is fair and reasonable.

The Consideration Shares

On the basis of the closing prices of the Company of HK$0.410 and HK$0.430 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 14 July 2020 (being the date of the Acquisition Agreement) and on 4 September 2020 (being the Latest Practicable Date), the market value of the Consideration Shares is approximately HK$67,124,020 and HK$70,398,362, respectively. The Consideration Shares represent approximately 8.00% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, or approximately 7.40% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company immediately upon Completion (assuming that there will not be any change in the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date up to the Completion Date).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Issue Price of HK$0.370 per Share was arrived at after arm's length negotiations between the Purchaser and the Vendor having considered, among others, the recent trading prices of the Shares, the issue of placing shares at a discount of approximately 14.63% to the closing price of HK$0.410 per Share on the date of the placing agreement in respect of the Company's recent placing of Shares announced on 24 June 2020, the financial performance of the Group and the current market conditions.

  5. a discount of approximately 11.60% to the average closing price of the Shares of approximately HK$0.419 per Share for the last 90 trading days up to and including 14 July 2020, being the date of the Acquisition Agreement;
  6. a discount of approximately 11.18% to the average closing price of the Shares of approximately HK$0.417 per Share for the last 180 trading days up to and including 14 July 2020, being the date of the Acquisition Agreement; and
  7. a premium of approximately 49.92% over the audited consolidated net asset value of the Group per Share of approximately HK$0.2468 as at 31 March 2020.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR, AND BENEFITS OF, THE ACQUISITION

The Company is an investment holding company. The Group is principally engaged in property development and investment which covers development, sales and leasing of properties (including serviced apartments, residential apartments and shopping mall).

To continue the momentum of the Group's expansion of its property development and related investment business, the Board considers that the Acquisition offers a good opportunity for the Group to expand into Japan market and enhance its assets portfolio with a potential of capital appreciation in the long run. The principal assets of the Target Group are a hotel with 24 rooms and 10 log houses, and a golf club with an 18-hole golf course located in Yoichi, Japan. The principal business of the Target Group is to manage and operate the hotel and the golf club with 18-hole golf course.

The Directors are optimistic about the prospects of the tourism industry in Japan in the long run. The number of foreign tourists in Japan has grown considerably in recent years from approximately 8.36 million in 2012 to approximately 31.9 million in 2019, representing a compound annual growth rate of approximately 21.08%. Certain major events are set to take place in Japan, including the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, as well as the Osaka-Kansai World Expo. The Japanese government aims to attract 60 million foreign tourists by 2030.

The outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020 has dampened the momentum of inbound tourism in Japan. Following seven consecutive years of growth from 2013 to 2019, 2020 was once anticipated to be a stellar year for Japan tourism on the back of booming inbound demand and the Tokyo Olympics, which, however, have been postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

As part of the measures to contain the worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020, Japan's borders are currently closed to travelers from more than 150 regions. On 7 April 2020, the Japanese government declared a state of emergency in Tokyo and six other prefectures, pursuant to which local authorities are empowered to carry out measures to halt the spread of COVID-19, including urging residents to stay at home except for essential activities and recommending the closures of businesses and facilities capable of hosting large-scale gatherings.

With the dwindling numbers of new cases of COVID-19, in late May 2020, the Japan government lifted the state of emergency for all of Japan. Domestic flights have gradually resumed and domestic travel restrictions were mostly lifted in mid-June. In order to provide support to the tourism industry and local economy, in July, the Japan government has launched a JPY1.7 trillion "Go to Travel" campaign to encourage domestic tourism and help hospitality operators. As part of the campaign, domestic travelers will be given 50% discounts and coupons of up to JPY20,000 per person per night for accommodation, shopping and eating at travel destinations within Japan, although Tokyo has been excluded due to the city's recent surge in COVID-19 cases.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In order to gradually revive the virus-hit economy and promote international business, Japan is also currently working on a travel bubble. In early July, Japan started entry negotiations with Asian countries and regions, including China, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan. On 13 August 2020, Japan and Singapore agreed to ease travel restrictions implemented in response to COVID-19 pandemic from September, targeting businesspeople and expatriates, on condition they take measures to prevent infections.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has brought challenges to the hotel business. The revenue of the Target Group has been significantly and adversely affected from April to July 2020, when compared to the corresponding period in 2019. Although the outbreak of COVID-19 has significantly and adversely affected the revenue of the Target Group during the aforementioned period, the Directors and Vigers Appraisal & Consulting Limited are of the view that given (i) the valuations of the Target Property and plant and equipment of the Target Group are based on a combination of the market and depreciated replacement cost approach and cost approach, respectively; and (ii) the Directors also noted that the land price in Yoichi District, Hokkaido has been relatively stable, and believe that the impact of COVID-19 is only a short term effect, its impact on the valuations of the Target Property and plant and equipment of the Target Group is insignificant. The Directors intend to improve and enhance the facilities of the hotel if the COVID-19 situation allows, so as to increase the attractiveness of the hotel to prepare for rebuild of business volume.

Subject to the Completion, the Directors will review the business and operation of the Target Group. The business model of the Target Group is to manage and operate the resort hotel and the golf club with 18-hole golf course. As the operation of the golf course is subject to seasonality and customers mainly visit golf course from spring to autumn in Hokkaido, Japan, the hotel and the golf club open for about eight months a year. For the three years ended 31 March 2020, unless reservations were received from customers during the remaining four months of the year, the operation of hotel would be temporarily suspended, and the operation of golf club would be temporarily suspended due to the snowy weather conditions. Currently, the hotel and golf club is managed by the local team led by Mr. Wada Shinichi, the general manager of the Target Group. The Group intends to retain the management of the Target Group to manage and operate the hotel and golf club, and supervised by the senior management of the Group.

It is noted that the Target Group recorded gross loss, net loss and net liabilities for each of the three years ended 31 March 2020. The gross loss and net loss were mainly due to the low occupancy rate of the hotel and revenue. The occupancy rate of the hotel for each of the three years ended 31 March 2020 was approximately 13.2%, 17.3% and 18.2%, respectively. The average occupancy rate of the hotel during the winter season in recent years was approximately 10%. The utilisation rate of the golf course for each of the three years ended 31 March 2020 was approximately 50.4%, 52.6% and 52.2%, respectively. Notwithstanding that the Target Group recorded losses and net liabilities for the three years ended 31 March 2020, the assets of the Target Group include a well-equipped resort hotel and golf course, together with vacant land that can be re-developed. Furthermore, the Directors believe that there is significant room to enhance the operation, and turnaround the business. Furthermore, the Target Property has large areas of

- 19 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

woodland, wilderness and other land that could be used for development. The Company conducted feasibility studies and based on field investigation and research, approximately 27,000m2 of the vacant land can be further developed without changing the landscape of the golf course. According to the applicable regulations, if less than 10,000 m2 of the vacant land and woodlands is to be further developed, then the Target Group is not required to file application to the local government. However, if over 10,000 m2 of the vacant land and woodlands is to be further developed, then Target Group is required to file an application to the local government. It is estimated that the processing time will be about six months. Furthermore, the Target Group is required to notify the relevant government department 30 days before the execution of the development of or any changes to the landscape. Besides, based on the field investigation and research, the Target Group may be required to notify and report to the relevant government department before and after the development of the land which involves deforestation. Furthermore, should the deforested area be over one hectare, the Target Group is required to obtain the approval from the local government. In view of the aforementioned regulatory requirements in relation to the development of the vacant land owned by the Target Group and subject to business and operational needs, the Directors may consider, as appropriate, various development options including utilizing land area of not exceeding 7,000 m2 to construct up to 30 additional log houses and stone houses for sale or for expansion of capacity of the hotel. The Directors will review the business potential to further develop the vacant land near the golf course to bring more investment return. In order to turnaround the business, the Group will formulate a business plan to increase the revenue of the Target Group, the occupancy rate and room rate of the hotel, as well as the utilisation rate of the golf course. Set out below is the proposed business plan of the Target Group:

  • As customers mainly visit golf course from spring to autumn, the hotel and the golf club open for about eight months a year. The Directors believe that there is room for improvement and enhancement in business and operation, such as leveraging on the experience of the Group's management team in management and operation of the golf course to enhance competitiveness, efficiency and utilisation, exploring the possibility to operate as an all-year-round resort, enhancement of the facilities of the hotel including hot spring, skiing and accommodation facilities, and expanding the scope of services to ski enthusiasts in winter. The Group intends to gradually refurbish the hotel and enhance the facilities in around 2021, with an estimated cost of around JPY40 million. The Group will also enhance the hot spring resources in around year 2022, with an estimated cost of around JPY80 million. The Directors believe that the refurbishment of hotel and enhancement of the facilities will increase the attractiveness of the hotel, which may enable the Target Group to improve its occupancy rate and room rate. Having considered that (i) the plan to develop the hotel into ski resort and hot spring can increase the attractiveness of the hotel, and thus allow the hotel to reach the average occupancy rate of resort hotels in Japan, which was around 58% in 2019;
    1. there are ski facilities in close proximity to the hotel and the hotel is within travelling time of an hour and a half from the nearest airport, 15 minutes from the nearest train station, one hour from Niseko ski resort, which is one of the most famous ski resort in the world, and half an hour from Kiroro Ski resort; (iii) the business plan

- 20 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

provides an opportunity to increase the room rate of the hotel to a level similar to resort hotels in the surrounding area, which generally could reach the range of JPY20,000 to JPY30,000 before the outbreak of COVID-19; and (iv) the improvement in the staff efficiency and the implementation of the cost control measures through leveraging on the experience of the Group's management in operation of serviced apartments and golf course, the Directors are of the view that the results of the Target Group can be turnaround.

  • Leveraging on the experience and the network of the Group's management team, the Group's management team can liaise with the travel agents to provide tour groups from overseas to visit the hotel. Furthermore, with the management's experience from managing and operating the golf course, the management can launch golf competitions so as to attract golf enthusiasts from all over the world to visit the golf course. The management can also make use of their network to promote the attractiveness of the golf club with 18-hole golf course as well as the enhanced hotel facilities including hot spring, skiing, and accommodation facilities to the high-net-worth individuals. The Target Group can provide promotion to golf enthusiasts should they visit the golf club as well as staying at hotel. The Directors believe that with the network of the Group's management team as well as the expansion of the customers base including the overseas tour groups and overseas golf enthusiasts, the occupancy rate of the hotel and the utilisation rate of the golf course will then be improved.
  • The Directors will also further review the marketing strategy of the hotel and golf club. In order to attract golf enthusiasts to visit the golf course, the Target Group will put more effort in marketing and promotions, such as launching golf competitions. Besides attracting golf enthusiasts to visit the golf course, the Target Group will also promote staycations to local golf enthusiasts so as to attract them to stay at the hotel as well. The Directors believe that this will improve the occupancy rate of the hotel as well as the utilisation rate of the golf course. Furthermore, currently, a majority of the customers of the Target Group are local tourists. The Directors note that the number of foreign tourists in Japan has grown considerably in recent years before the outbreak of COVID-19, and believe there is growth potential in the long run amid the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, as well as the Osaka-Kansai World Expo. When the COVID-19 pandemic passes, the Target Group will target to enlarge the customer base through leveraging on the potential growth of tourists in Japan as mentioned above. It will put more efforts in promotion and marketing to tours, tourists and golf enthusiasts from overseas, in particular, China, Korea and South East Asia.

Having considered the above, the Directors believe that the Target Group will achieve similar level and turnaround the business after the execution of the business plan and bring in positive return.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors noted the disclaimer of opinion on the financial information of the Target Company by the reporting accountants set out in Appendix II to this circular. The Directors understand that such disclaimer of opinion was mainly due to the net current liabilities of the Target Group as at 31 March 2020 and loss incurred for the year ended 31 March 2020, which, in the opinion of the reporting accountants, indicate the significant extent of uncertainty relating to the ongoing availability of finance to the Target Group. However, as mentioned in Appendix

  1. to this circular, the directors of the Target Company have reviewed the Target Group's cash flow projections covering a period of twelve months from 31 March 2020. Taking into account the continuous financial support from the sole shareholder of the Target Company (i.e. Mr. Hu), in the opinion of the directors of the Target Company, the Target Group will have sufficient working capital to fulfill its financial obligations as and when they fall due in the coming twelve months from 31 March 2020. In addition, the outstanding salaries payable to the Vendor, which is not included in the Shareholder's Loan, is non-interest bearing and shall be settled by cash by the Company when the COVID-19 situation and business of the Target Group improves. The outstanding salaries payable to the Vendor were approximately nil, JPY1.5 million, and JPY 13.1 million as at 31 March 2018, 31 March 2019 and 31 March 2020, respectively. Having considered
    (i) the outstanding salaries payable to the Vendor is non-interest bearing; and (ii) it is in the interests of the Company to preserve the relevant cash amounts in view of the COVID-19 situation and until the business of the Target Group improves, the Directors are of the view that the arrangement of settling outstanding salaries payable to the Vendor after Completion is beneficial to the Company and Shareholders as a whole, and therefore the Directors consider such arrangement is fair and reasonable to the Shareholders as a whole. Further, having reviewed the level of salary of the Vendor and having considered the contributions of the Vendor to the Target Group and the roles and responsibilities undertaken by the Vendor as director of the Target Group, as well as the then existing market conditions, the Directors are of the view that such level of salary of the Vendor is fair and reasonable.

The Company will provide continued financial support of approximately JPY 40 million, which is the Target Group's expected funding needs for the next 12 months from 31 March 2020 based on the following assumptions:

  • the effect of the outbreak of COVID-19 on the operation of the Target Group will continue for the twelve months ending 31 March 2021;
  • revenue is expected to decrease by approximately 30% for the year ending 31 March 2021 having considered the recent financial performance of the Target Group;
  • the policies encouraging domestic travelling will be in effect and/or remain unchanged;
  • the cost of sales and administrative and other expenses for the year ending 31 March 2021 will be in line with the cost of sales and administrative and other expenses for the year ended 31 March 2020;
  • the credit period and the payable period will remain unchanged;
  • there will be capital expenditure of approximately JPY40.0 million for refurbishment of the hotel and enhancement of the facilities in around 2021.

Having considered that (i) the Target Group shall be able to take the opportunity to carry out the refurbishment of the hotel and the enhancement of the facilities during the lull period as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and position itself to benefit from the rebound of

- 22 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

the tourism industry when the COVID-19 situation improves; (ii) it is not uncommon in the industry to refurbish the hotel and enhance the facilities during the lull period or low season so as to minimize the disruption to business and operations; (iii) the revenue of the Target Group has shown sign of improvement in August 2020 as compared to that in July 2020; and (iv) the Target Group shall be able to monitor the COVID-19 situation and carry out the refurbishment of the hotel and the enhancement of the facilities in phases, the Directors are of the view that it is a good time, and fair and reasonable for the Company to conduct the Acquisition.

The Directors note that the net current liabilities and net liabilities the Target Group, which amounted to approximately JPY1,859.1 million, and approximately JPY1,031.5 million respectively, were mainly due to the Shareholder's Loan, which amounted to JPY1,914.2 million. The Target Group had no third-party borrowings as at 31 March 2020. The Shareholder's Loan will be acquired by the Group under the Acquisition Agreement. Excluding the Shareholder's Loan, the Target Group would record net current assets and net assets as at 31 March 2020.

Having considered the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated there under are fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE ACQUISITION

Upon the Completion, the Group will be interested in the entire issued shares of Doof Japan, and each member of the Target Group will become a subsidiary of the Company, whose results, assets and liabilities will be consolidated into the accounts of the Group. As such, the performance of the Target Group will affect the statement of profit or loss of the Group.

The Target Group recorded net loss of approximately JPY678.5 million, JPY185.5 million and JPY177.5 million for each of the three years ended 31 March 2020 respectively. The net loss for FY2018, representing 3.7 times of that for the year ended 31 March 2019, was principally resulted from the impairment of goodwill of approximately JPY245.9 million in FY2018, and the transaction cost of approximately JPY281.5 million incurred when Doof Japan acquired Yoichi Country in 2017. The net loss for the year ended 31 March 2020 decreased slightly by approximately 4.3% was mainly as a result of the increase in revenue from hotel rooms and golf club operation, as well as the decrease in cost of sales, including staff costs, depreciation and amortisation.

For details of the financial performance of the Target Group, please refer to the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix IV and paragraph headed "Business and financial review" in "Appendix III - Management discussion and analysis of the Target Group" to this circular.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As the Acquisition Agreement was entered into within 12 months after completion of the Previous Acquisitions, and the agreements in respect of the Previous Acquisitions and the Acquisition Agreement were entered between a member of the Group and the same connected person and/or his associates, the Acquisition and the Previous Acquisitions are required to be aggregated pursuant to Rules 14.22 and 14A.81 of the Listing Rules.

As the highest of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Acquisition and the Previous Acquisitions in aggregate exceeds 25% but is less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Acquisition is subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

The Vendor, Mr. Hu, is an executive Director and ultimate controlling Shareholder of the Company, and is therefore a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. The Acquisition from the Vendor also constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Acquisition is subject to the applicable reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion in respect of the Acquisition, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons:

Information on the Company

With reference to the Board Letter, the Group is principally engaged in property development and investment which covers development, sales and leasing of properties (including serviced apartments, residential apartments and shopping mall).

Set out below is a summary of the audited consolidated financial information on the Group for the two years ended 31 March 2020 as extracted from the Company's annual report for the year ended 31 March 2020 (the "2020 Annual Report"):

As illustrated in the above table, the Group's revenue for the year ended 31 March 2020 ("FY2020") decreased by approximately 21.67% as compared to that for the year ended 31 March 2019 ("FY2019"). With reference to the 2020 Annual Report, such decrease was a result of decrease in number of apartments sold for FY2020. The Group's gross profit for FY2020 increased by approximately 2.49% as compared to that for FY2019. With reference to the 2020 Annual Report, such increase was mainly due to certain residential apartments sales with higher gross profit margin during FY2020 and the increase in property management fee during FY2020. The Group's loss for FY2020 increased by approximately 47.97% as compared to that for FY2019. With reference to the 2020 Annual Report, such decrease was mainly due to impairment losses on certain assets and increase in selling and administrative expenses and finance costs.

With reference to the 2019 Annual Report and as confirmed by the Directors, save for the development of the Group's existing business, the Company is actively looking for investment and acquisition opportunities that have prospects to diversify the revenue sources of the Group in order to create shareholders' value.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

With reference to the Accountants' Report, the Target Group recorded substantial impairment of goodwill of approximately JPY246 million, transaction cost of approximately JPY281 million related to acquisition of Yoichi Country by Doof Japan in 2017 and administrative and other expenses of approximately JPY57 million, for the financial year ended 31 March 2018 ("FY2018"). Together with the Target Group's gross loss recorded in FY2018 as a result of low hotel occupancy rate, the Target Group recorded substantial loss and total comprehensive loss of approximately JPY678 million in FY2018.

As depicted from the above table, the Target Group's revenue increased by approximately

19% in FY2019 as compared to that for FY2018. Despite the Target Group's increased revenue in FY2019, the Target Group's gross loss increased by approximately 10% in FY2019 as compared to that for FY2018. As advised by the Directors, such increase in the Target Group's gross loss was mainly due to increased investment in staff cost, advertisement and consumables which improved the hotel occupancy rate and golf course utilisation.

Despite the Target Group's increased gross loss in FY2019, the Target Group's loss and total comprehensive loss greatly reduced by approximately 73% in FY2019 as compared to that for FY2018 given the absence of impairment of goodwill and transaction cost related to acquisition of Yoichi Country by Doof Japan.

With further improvement in the hotel occupancy rate, the Target Group's revenue increased by approximately 2% in FY2020 as compared to that for FY2019. The Target Group's gross loss decreased by approximately 14% in FY2020 as compared to that for FY2019 and there was also a slight reduction in the Target Group's loss and total comprehensive loss in FY2020 as compared to that for FY2019.

The Target Group recorded net current liabilities of approximately JPY1,859 million and net liabilities of approximately JPY1,032 million as at 31 March 2020, comprising the Shareholder's Loan of approximately JPY1,914 million.

With reference to the Accountants' Report, in view of the significance of the extent of the uncertainties relating to the continuous financial support to the Target Group, the Company's auditors disclaim their opinion in respect of the historical financial information of the Target Group for FY2020 (the "Accountant's Report Disclaimer").

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

Information on the Vendor

With reference to the Board Letter, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Vendor is Mr. Hu, an executive Director and the ultimate controlling Shareholder of the Company, and is therefore a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules.

Reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition

With reference to the Board Letter, to continue the momentum of the Group's expansion of its property development and related investment business, the Board considers that the Acquisition offers a good opportunity for the Group to expand into Japan market and enhance its assets portfolio with a potential of capital appreciation in the long run. The principal assets of the Target Group are a hotel with 24 rooms and 10 log houses, and a golf club with an 18-hole golf course located in Yoichi, Japan.

The Directors are optimistic about the prospects of the tourism industry in Japan in the long run. The number of foreign tourists in Japan has grown considerably in recent years. Certain major events are set to take place in Japan, including the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, as well as the Osaka-Kansai World Expo. The Japanese government aims to attract 60 million foreign tourists by 2030.

With reference to the Board Letter and as advised by the Directors, subject to the Completion, the Directors will review the business and operation of the Target Group. The business model of the Target Group is to manage and operate the resort hotel and the golf club with 18-hole golf course. As the operation of the golf course is subject to seasonality and customers mainly visit golf course from spring to autumn in Hokkaido, Japan, the golf club and the hotel open for about eight months a year. The Directors believe that there may be room for improvement and enhancement in business and operation, such as leveraging on the experience of the Group's management team in management and operation of golf course to enhance competitiveness, efficiency and utilisation, exploring the possibility to operate as an all-year-round resort, enhancement of the facilities of the hotel including hot spring, skiing and accommodation facilities, and expanding the scope of services to ski enthusiasts in winter. The Group intends to gradually refurbish the hotel and enhance the facilities in around 2021. The Group will also enhance the hot spring resources in around year 2022. The Directors believe that the refurbishment of hotel and enhancement of the facilities will increase the attractiveness of the hotel, which may enable the Target Group to improve its occupancy rate and room rate.

The Directors will also review the marketing strategy of the hotel and golf club. In order to attract golf enthusiasts to visit the golf course, the Target Group will put more effort in marketing and promotions, such as launching golf competitions. Currently, majority of the customers of the Target Group are local tourists. The Directors note that the number of foreign tourists in Japan has grown considerably in recent years before the outbreak of COVID-19, and believe there is growth potential in the long run amid the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, as well as the

- 37 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

Osaka-Kansai World Expo. When the COVID-19 pandemic passes, the Target Group will target to enlarge the customer base through leveraging on the potential growth of tourists in Japan as mentioned above. It will put more efforts in promotion and marketing to tours, tourists and golf enthusiasts from overseas, in particular, the PRC, Korea and South East Asia.

In addition, the Target Property has large areas of woodland, wilderness and other land that could be used for development. The Directors will review the business potential to further develop the vacant land near the golf course, with a view to bring more investment return for the Shareholders.

As advised by the Directors, the Target Group's hotel occupancy rate was approximately 18.2% only for FY2020. There is potential for improvement. In addition, the Target Group's golf club and hotel currently operates for about eight months from spring to autumn. Should the above intended development of the Target Group by the Group be implemented successfully, the Target Group can operate all-year-round and its hotel occupancy rate will increase. Hence, the Target Group's financial performance may be improved. In addition, further development of the Target Group's vacant land may also bring additional return to the Enlarged Group.

With reference to the "Number of visitors to Japan" published by the Japan National Tourism Organization, foreign visitors to Japan doubled in the last decade and reached 10 million people for the first time in 2013, led by an increase of Asian visitors. In 2008, the Japanese government set up the Japan Tourism Agency and set the initial goal to increase foreign visitors to 20 million in 2020. In 2016, having met the 20 million target, the Japanese government revised up its target to 40 million by 2020 and to 60 million by 2030.

With reference to the Hokkaido Comprehensive Development Plan for year 2016-2025 published by the Hokkaido Bureau Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Hokkaido contributes as one of the most popular destinations of Japan among foreign tourists. Hokkaido has an abundance of natural environment, blessed with beautiful nature and farmlands. Hokkaido also has appealing tourism resources even amongst Asian countries, such as its unique history and cultures as well as safe and high-quality agricultural products. These characteristics make the region enjoy great popularity among tourists. Toward world-class tourist destinations, in addition to bringing out more of Hokkaido's characteristics, the Japanese government will promote the formation of wide-arearound-trip routes, each of which has its own theme and/or story. This will smooth the variations in seasonal travel demands, and spread the economic benefits of in-bound tourism across Hokkaido. In addition, inbound tourists visiting Hokkaido have been rising sharply. Over the coming years, there are more events that could trigger a further increase in foreign tourists visiting Hokkaido, including the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympic Games, the opening of Hokkaido Shinkansen (bullet train) to Sapporo (end of fiscal year 2030). The Japanese government will continue the strategic efforts and engagements to have Hokkaido be received as a world-class tourist destination that attracts people globally.

With reference to the White Paper on Tourism in Japan, 2019 published by the Japan Tourism Agency in June 2019, the year-on-year changes of the total number of guest nights of international visitors in Hokkaido in 2018 as compared to that in 2017 increased by 6.2%.

- 38 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

According to the Mastercard's Asia Pacific Destinations Index (the "APDI") published on 4 September 2019, Hokkaido was one of the 20 most visited destinations in year 2018. Also, for the second year in a row, Japan is the only market in the APDI to command 25% of Asia Pacific's top 20 destinations.

The above findings demonstrate the potential and prospects of Hokkaido tourism.

With reference to the Board Letter, the outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020 has dampened the momentum of tourism in Japan. As part of the measures to contain the worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020, Japan's borders are currently closed to travelers from numerous countries. On 7 April 2020, the Japanese government declared a state of emergency in Tokyo and six other prefectures. With the dwindling numbers of new cases of COVID-19, in late May 2020, the Japan government lifted the state of emergency for all of Japan. Domestic flights have gradually resumed and domestic travel restrictions were mostly lifted in mid-June. In order to provide support to the tourism industry and local economy, in July, the Japan government launched a JPY1.7 trillion "Go to Travel" campaign to encourage domestic tourism and help hospitality operators. We consider the impact of the COVID-19 on Japanese tourism may be short-term.

Having considered the above, we consider the Company's intended development on the Target Group to be feasible.

Although the Target Group recorded loss and total comprehensive loss for the three financial years ended 31 March 2020 and net liabilities as at 31 March 2020 and there is the Accountant's Report Disclaimer, having considered the followings:

  1. the Group is principally engaged in property development and investment which covers development, sales and leasing of properties (including serviced apartments (hospitality related), residential apartments and shopping mall);
  2. the Company's business strategy to look for investment and acquisition opportunities that have prospects to diversify the revenue sources of the Group in order to create shareholders' value;
  3. the potential and prospects of the Target Group;
  4. the Company's intended development on the Target Group;
  5. the potential and prospects of Hokkaido tourism despite the impact of the COVID-19 which maybe short-term; and
  6. the assignment of the Shareholder's Loan (As a result, the Shareholder's Loan was eliminated under the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group (the "Pro Forma Information") as contained in Appendix IV to the Circular). The amount of the Shareholder's Loan was larger than the Target Group's net current liabilities and net liabilities as at 31 March 2020,

Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, the Initial Consideration of JPY848,394,046 (equivalent to approximately HK$60,575,335) for acquiring the equity interest in Doof Japan and the Shareholder's Loan shall be satisfied by the Company by the issue and allotment of the Consideration Shares (subject to the adjustment) at the Issue Price of HK$0.370 to the Vendor (or such other person(s) may be directed by the Vendor in writing) within seven business days from the Completion Date.

With reference to the Board Letter, the consideration of the Acquisition was arrived at after arm's length negotiations between the Purchaser and the Vendor and was determined after having taken into account various relevant factors including:

  1. the net liabilities value of the Target Group as at 31 March 2020;
  2. the Property Valuation;

- 40 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

  1. the Equipment Valuation;
  2. the Shareholder's Loan; and
  3. a 10.00% discount on the aggregate of the Shareholder's Loan and the adjusted net liabilities of the Target Group (the "Consideration Discount").

With reference to the Board Letter, in determining the Initial Consideration, the unaudited net liabilities of the Target Group was adjusted to reflect its fair value by taking into account the Property Valuation of approximately JPY1,034,000,000 and the Equipment Valuation of approximately JPY38,248,800 as at 22 June 2020. Details of the said adjustment are set out in the below reconciliation from the unaudited net liabilities of the Target Group to the Final Consideration (the "Consideration Reconciliation") as extracted from the Board Letter:

Adjustment mechanism

Before the Completion, the Initial Consideration shall be adjusted according to the audited adjusted net liabilities of the Target Group (taking into account the finalised Property Valuation and the finalised Equipment Valuation) as follows:

  1. upward based on the difference between the unaudited adjusted net liabilities and the audited adjusted net liabilities, if the unaudited adjusted net liabilities is lesser than the audited adjusted net liabilities. The adjustment shall in aggregate be subject to a maximum cap of JPY100,000,000; or
  2. downward based on the difference between the unaudited adjusted net liabilities and the audited adjusted net liabilities, if the unaudited adjusted net liabilities is greater than the audited adjusted net liabilities.

The number of Consideration Shares shall be equivalent to the consideration of the Acquisition divided by the Issue Price of HK$0.370. In the event that the Initial Consideration is adjusted pursuant to the mechanism above, the number of Consideration Shares shall be adjusted accordingly.

Pursuant to the adjustment mechanism to the consideration as set out above, the consideration of the Acquisition remained unchanged as JPY848,394,046 (equivalent to approximately HK$60,575,335). Accordingly, the Consideration Shares shall comprise 163,717,121 new Shares.

The valuation reports

To assess the fairness and reasonableness of the consideration of the Acquisition, we obtained the Property Valuation Report prepared by the Valuer and noted that the market value of the Target Property in existing state as at 22 June 2020 was JPY1,034,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$73,827,600). Details of the Property Valuation Report are set out in Appendix V to the Circular. We also obtained the Equipment Valuation Report prepared by the Valuer and noted that the market value of the Equipment as at 22 June 2020 was JPY38,248,800 (equivalent to approximately HK$2,730,964). Details of the Equipment Valuation Report are set out in Appendix VII to the Circular.

For our due diligence purpose, we reviewed and enquired into (i) the terms of engagement of the Valuer with the Company; (ii) the Valuer's qualification in relation to the preparation of the Property Valuation Report and the Equipment Valuation Report (including reasonable checks to assess the relevant qualifications, experience and expertise of the Valuer (e.g. reviewing the Valuer's company profile and discussing with the Valuer regarding their qualifications and experience)); and (iii) the steps and due diligence measures taken by the Valuer for conducting the Property Valuation Report and the Equipment Valuation Report. From the mandate letter and

- 42 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

other relevant information provided by the Valuer and based on our interview with them, we were satisfied with the terms of engagement of the Valuer as well as their qualification for preparation of the Property Valuation Report and the Equipment Valuation Report. The Valuer also confirmed that they are independent to the Group, the Target Group and the Vendor.

With reference to the Property Valuation Report, the Property Valuation Report was prepared by the Valuer by adopting a combination of the market and depreciated replacement cost approach in assessing the land portion of the Target Property and the buildings and structures standing on the land respectively. In the valuation of the land portion, reference was made to the sales evidence as available to the Valuer in the locality. As the nature of the buildings and structures cannot be valued on the basis of market value, they have therefore been valued on the basis of their depreciated replacement costs. Upon our enquiry, the Valuer advised us that, after having assessed the appropriateness of possible methodologies for different valuation approaches and circumstances and facts specific to the Target Property, the Valuer considered that the aforesaid valuation methodologies are the most appropriate valuation methodologies in the case of the Target Property.

With reference to the Equipment Valuation Report, the Equipment Valuation Report was prepared by the Valuer by adopting the cost approach. Upon our enquiry, the Valuer advised us that, after having assessed the appropriateness of possible methodologies for different valuation approaches and circumstances and facts specific to the Target Property, the Valuer considered that the aforesaid valuation methodology is the most appropriate valuation methodology in the case of the Equipment.

We further reviewed and enquired into the Valuer on the methodologies adopted and the basis and assumptions and parameters adopted in the Property Valuation Report and the Equipment Valuation Report in order for us to understand the Property Valuation Report and the Equipment Valuation Report. We also obtained supporting information on the parameters adopted. During our discussion with the Valuer, we did not identify any major factor which caused us to doubt the fairness and reasonableness of the methodology, principal bases, assumptions and parameters adopted for the Property Valuation Report and the Equipment Valuation Report.

Having considered the Consideration Reconciliation as set out above and our independent work performed on the Property Valuation Report and the Equipment Valuation Report, we are of the view that the Final Consideration is fair and reasonable.

Consideration Shares and Issue Price

As aforementioned, the Final Consideration shall be satisfied by the Company by the issue and allotment of the Consideration Shares of 163,717,121 new Shares at the Issue Price of HK$0.370 to the Vendor (or such other person(s) may be directed by the Vendor in writing) within seven business days from the Completion Date.

With reference to the Board Letter, the Issue Price of HK$0.370 per Share was arrived at after arm's length negotiations between the Purchaser and the Vendor with reference to, among

- 43 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

others, the recent trading prices of the Shares, the issue of placing shares at a discount of approximately 14.63% to the closing price of HK$0.410 per Share on the date of the placing agreement in respect of the Company's recent placing of Shares announced on 24 June 2020 (the

"Placing Discount"), the financial performance of the Group and the current market conditions. In particular, having considered that the Acquisition from the Vendor constitutes a connected transaction of the Company, and that the discount on the Issue Price (to the closing price of the Shares on the date of the Acquisition Agreement) is smaller than the discount on the placing price of the placing shares (to the closing price of the Shares on the date of the placing agreement on 24 June 2020), the Board considers that the Issue Price is fair and reasonable.

The Issue Price represents a discount of approximately 9.76% to the closing price of the Shares of HK$0.410 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 14 July 2020, being the date of the Acquisition Agreement (the "Agreement Date Discount").

In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Issue Price, we performed the following assessments.

Share price performance

In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Issue Price, we reviewed the daily closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange from 2 July 2019 up to and including the Agreement Date (the "Review Period"), being a period of approximately one year up to and including the Agreement Date. An one-year review period is commonly adopted for share price assessment and we consider the Review Period to be fair and reasonable. The daily closing prices of the Shares are illustrated as follows:

During the Review Period, the lowest and highest closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange were HK$0.208 recorded on 20 February 2020 and HK$0.620 recorded on 19 July 2019 respectively. The Issue Price of HK$0.370 is (i) within the range of the lowest and highest closing prices of Shares; and (ii) higher than the closing prices of the Shares in 4 days, during the Review Period.

As illustrated in the above diagram, the closing prices of the Shares did not form a continuous and specific trend during the Review Period and there was a sudden drop in the closing prices of the Shares in mid-February 2020 (with recovery thereafter).

We noted from the above table that the liquidity of the Shares was generally thin during the Review Period.

Comparables

As part of our analysis, we further identified transactions in relation to acquisition involving the issue of consideration shares (the "Comparables") which were announced by companies listed on the Stock Exchange during the period from 2 January 2020 up to the Agreement Date (being an approximate half-year period up to and including the Last Trading Day). To the best of our knowledge and as far as we are aware of, we found 26 transactions which met the said criteria and they are exhaustive as far as we are aware of. Shareholders should note that the businesses, operations and prospects of the Company are not the same as the subject companies of the Comparables and we have not conducted any independent verification with regard to the businesses and operations of such companies.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

We noted from the above table that the issue prices of the Comparables (excluding the case of Asia Grocery Distribution Limited (stock code: 8413) which was considered as outlier) ranged from a discount of approximately 13.51% to a premium of approximately 37.93% with average premium of approximately 3.47% to/over the respective closing prices of the shares on the last trading day prior to/date of agreement in relation to the respective acquisition (the "Discount/Premium Market Range"). As such, the Issue Price, which represents a discount of approximately 9.76% to the closing price of the Shares on the Agreement Date, falls within the Discount/Premium Market Range. Although the Agreement Date Discount is at the low-end of the Discount/Premium Market Range, we consider that it is not exceptional as it is still within the Discount/Premium Market Range. Therefore, we are of the opinion that the Agreement Date Discount is in line with the market practice.

Although the Issue Price was higher than the closing prices of the Shares in only 4 days during the Review Period, having considered

  1. that the Issue Price of HK$0.370 is within the range of the lowest and highest closing prices of Shares during the Review Period;
  2. that it is reasonable to set the Issue Price at discount to justify for the generally thin liquidity of the Shares during the Review Period (thin liquidity may affect the market value of the Shares);
  3. that the Agreement Date Discount falls within the Discount/Premium Market Range; (although the Agreement Date Discount is at the low-end of the Discount/Premium Market Range, we consider that it is not exceptional as it is still within the Discount/Premium Market Range);
  4. that the Agreement Date Discount is smaller than the Placing Discount which was associated with the share placement to independent third parties conducted by the Company within one month prior to the Agreement Date; and
  5. the Consideration Discount which was slightly deeper than the Agreement Date Discount and indicated that the Group is acquiring the Target Group at 10% discount to the Target Group's implied value under the Acquisition (i.e. the aggregate of the Shareholder's Loan and the Adjusted Net Liabilities),

we consider the Issue Price of HK$0.370 to be fair and reasonable.

- 48 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

Other terms of the Acquisition Agreement are set out in the section headed "THE ACQUISITION AGREEMENT" in the Board Letter.

Taking into account the principal terms of the Acquisition Agreement as set out above, we consider that the terms of the Acquisition are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

Possible dilution effect on the shareholding interests of the public Shareholders

With reference to the shareholding table in the section headed "SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY" of the Board Letter, the shareholding interests held by the public would be diluted by approximately 3.07 percentage points as a result of the issue of Consideration Shares. In this regard, taking into account (i) the reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition; and (ii) the terms of the Acquisition being fair and reasonable, we are of the view that the said level of dilution to the shareholding interests of the public Shareholders as a result of the issue of Consideration Shares is justifiable.

Possible financial effects of the Acquisition

Upon the Completion, the Group will be interested in the entire issued shares of Doof Japan, and each member of the Target Group will become a subsidiary of the Company, whose results, assets and liabilities will be consolidated into the accounts of the Group.

The unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group (the "Pro Forma Information") is included in Appendix IV to the Circular.

With reference to the 2020 Annual Report, the consolidated total assets and total liabilities of the Group were approximately HK$4.60 billion and HK$4.13 billion as at 31 March 2020 respectively. According to the Pro Forma Information, the unaudited consolidated total assets and total liabilities of the Enlarged Group would be approximately HK$4.68 billion and HK$4.15 billion respectively as if the Acquisition had taken place at 31 March 2020.

It should be noted that the aforementioned analyses are for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent how the financial position of the Group will be upon the Completion.

RECOMMENDATION

Having taken into consideration the factors and reasons as stated above, we are of the opinion that (i) the terms of the Acquisition are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable; and (ii) the Acquisition is conducted in the ordinary and usual course of the business of the Company and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

- 49 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution(s) to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and we recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution(s) in this regard.

Yours faithfully,

The financial statements of the Target Group for the Track Record Period (the "Underlying Financial Statements"), on which the Historical Financial Information is based, were prepared by the director of the Target Company.

COMPANY'S 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 ("HKICPA").

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF TARGET GROUP

COMPANY'S REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS' RESPONSIBILITY (CONTINUED)

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 gives a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in note 2 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 of the Target Group, 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 Target Group's financial position as at 31 March 2018 and 2019, and of the Target Group's financial performance and cash flows for the Track Record Period in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in note 2 to the Historical Financial Information.

We do not express an opinion on the Historical Financial Information of the Target Group for the year ended 31 March 2020. Because of the significance of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion section of our report, we have not been able to form an audit opinion on this Historical Financial Information for the year ended 31 March 2020.

BASIS FOR DISCLAIMER OF OPINION

As described in note 2 to the Historical Financial Information, the Target Group incurred a net loss from continuing operations of approximately JPY177,525,000 during the year ended 31 March 2020 and as of 31 March 2020, the Target Group had net current liabilities of approximately JPY1,859,132,000 and had net liabilities of approximately JPY1,031,501,000. The Target Group's aggregate borrowings amounted to approximately JPY1,914,155,000 as at 31 March 2020 which will be due for repayment within twelve months from 31 March 2020, while its bank balances and cash amounted to approximately JPY71,658,000 only as at 31 March 2020. The Target Group's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the continuous financial support from the sole shareholder of the Target Company.

- II-2 -

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF TARGET GROUP

Should the sole shareholder of the Target Company no longer provide financial support to the Target Group, it might not be able to continue to operate as a going concern, and adjustments would have to be made to reclassify the Target Group's non-current assets and non-current liabilities as current assets and current liabilities respectively, and to write down the carrying values of the Target Group's assets to their recoverable amounts. The effects of these adjustments have not been reflected in the consolidated financial statements. In view of the significance of the extent of the uncertainties relating to the continuous financial support to the Target Group, we disclaim our opinion in respect of the year ended 31 March 2020.

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF TARGET GROUP

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

The Target Company was incorporated in Japan with limited liability on 12 January 2017. The address of its registered office and its principal place of business 2361-1, Yoichi Cho, Yoichi Gun, Hokkaido, Japan. The sole shareholder of the Target Company is Mr. Hu Xing Rong (Mr. Hu").

The Target Company is an investment holding company while the Target Group is mainly engaged in hotel operation business in Hokkaido, Japan. Particulars of the subsidiaries of the Target Company have been set out in note 15.

The functional currency of the Target Company is Japanese Yen ("JPY") which is also the presentation currency of the Historical Financial Information.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

In preparing the Historical Financial Information, the director of the Target Company has given careful consideration to the future liquidity of the Target Group in light of the Target Group's net current liabilities of approximately JPY1,859,132,000 and net liabilities of approximately JPY1,031,501,000 as at 31 March 2020 as well as a loss incurred of approximately JPY177,525,000 for the year ended 31 March 2020.

In view of the above, the director of the Target Company has reviewed the Target Group's cash flow projections prepared by management covering a period of twelve months from 31 March 2020 which have taken into account the continuous financial support from the sole shareholder of the Target Company. In the opinion of the director of the Target Company, the Target Group will have sufficient working capital to fulfill its financial obligations as and when they fall due in the coming twelve months from 31 March 2020. Accordingly, the director of the Target Company is satisfied that it is appropriate to prepare the Historical Financial Information on a going concern basis.

Should the going concern assumption be inappropriate, adjustments may have to be made to reflect the situation that assets may need to be realised at the amounts other than which they are currently recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2020. In addition, the Target Group may have to recognise further liabilities that might arise, and to reclassify non-current assets and non-current liabilities as current assets and current liabilities, respectively.

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF TARGET GROUP

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out below which conform with HKFRSs. In addition, the Historical Financial Information includes applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

The Historical Financial Information has been prepared on the historical cost basis.

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e. an exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. Details of fair value measurements are explained in the accounting policies set out below.

The principal accounting policies are set out below.

Basis of consolidation

The Historical Financial Information incorporates the financial information of the entities controlled by the Target Company.

Control is achieved where the Target Group has: (i) the power over the investee; (ii) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and (iii) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the Group's returns.

The Target Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Target Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Target Group loses control of the subsidiary.

Income and expenses of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Target Group gains control until the date when the Target Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries are attributed to the owners of the Target Company. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Target Company.

All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Target Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

- II-12 -

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF TARGET GROUP

Business combinations

Businesses combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Target Group, liabilities incurred by the Target Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Target Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs incurred to effect a business combination are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value, except that:

  • deferred tax assets or liabilities arising from the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination are recognised and measured in accordance with HKAS 12 Income Taxes;

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the Target Group's previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after re-assessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a gain on bargain purchase.

Goodwill

Goodwill arising from a business combination is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Target Group's cash-generating units (or groups of cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually or more frequently when there is indication that the unit may be impaired. For goodwill arising on an acquisition in a reporting period, the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment before the end of that reporting period. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is

- II-13 -

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF TARGET GROUP

allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit on a pro rata basis based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the amount of profit or loss on disposal.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Specifically, the Target Group uses a 5-step approach to revenue recognition.

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The Target Group recognised revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when "control" of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to customers.

A performance obligation represents a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct or a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially same.

Control is transferred over time and revenue is recognised over time by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of the relevant performance obligation if one of the following criteria is met:

  • The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Target Group's performance as the Target Group performs;
  • the Target Group's performance creates and enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created and enhanced; or
  • the Target Group's performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Target Group and the Target Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

- II-14 -

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF TARGET GROUP

Otherwise, revenue is recognised at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the distinct goods or service.

Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer, excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties, discounts and sales related taxes.

Contract assets and contract liabilities

A contract asset represents the Target Group's right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Target Group has transferred to a customer that is not yet unconditional. It is assessed for impairment in accordance with HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments. In contrast, a receivable represents the Target Group's unconditional right to consideration, i.e. only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due.

A contract liability represents the Target Group's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Target Group has received consideration from the customer. A contract liability would also be recognised if the Target Group has an unconditional right to receive consideration before the Target Group recognises the related revenue. In such cases, a corresponding receivable would also be recognised.

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.

The Target Group recognised revenue from the following major sources:

Hotel and golf club operations

Hotel room revenue, other ancillary services and income from golf club operation are recognised over time by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of the relevant performance obligation, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Target Group's performance as the Target Group performs.

Income from food and beverage is recognised at a point in time when the food and beverage are served.

Sale of goods

Revenue is recognised when goods are delivered which is taken to be the point in time when the customer takes possession of and accepts the goods. Revenue excludes consumption tax or other sales taxes.

- II-15 -

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF TARGET GROUP

Over time revenue recognition: measurement of progress towards complete satisfaction of a

performance obligation

Output method

The progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation is measured based on output method, which is to recognise revenue on the basis of direct measurements of the value of the goods or services transferred to the customer to date relative to the remaining goods or services promised under the contract, that best depict the Target Group's performance in transferring control of goods or services.

Leasing

Definition of a lease

Under HKFRS 16 Leases, a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The Target Group as lessor

The Target Group enters into lease agreements as a lessor with respect to some of its buildings. Leases for which the Target Group is a lessor are classified as operating leases.

When a contract includes both lease and non-lease components, the Target Group applies HKFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers to allocate the consideration under the contract to each component.

Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

- II-16 -

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF TARGET GROUP

Retirement benefits cost

Payments to the state-managed retirement benefit schemes are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Short term employee benefits

Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit before tax as reported in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Target Group's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Historical Financial Information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary difference to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except when the Target Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

- II-17 -

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF TARGET GROUP

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Target Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss.

Property, plant and equipment

Freehold land is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. No depreciation is provided for freehold land.

Property, plant and equipment including buildings held for use in the supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes are stated in the consolidated statements of financial position at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Depreciation is recognised so as to allocate the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

Cash and cash equivalents

Bank balances and cash in the consolidated statements of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term bank deposits with a maturity of three months or less.

For the purpose of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of bank balances and cash, as defined above.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated using the first-in,first-out method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.

- II-18 -

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF TARGET GROUP

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the consolidated statements of financial position when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.

Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at amortised cost.

Financial assets at amortised cost

The Target Group measures financial assets subsequently at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:

  • the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
  • the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest method and are subject to impairment.

Amortised cost and effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant periods.

For financial assets other than purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets (i.e. assets that are credit-impaired on initial recognition), the effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received

- II-19 -

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF TARGET GROUP

that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) excluding expected credit losses ("ECL"), through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the gross carrying amount of the debt instrument on initial recognition.

The amortised cost of a financial asset is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount, adjusted for any loss allowance. The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is the amortised cost of a financial asset before adjusting for any loss allowance.

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method for debt instruments measured subsequently at amortised cost. Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, except for financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired (see below). For financial assets that have subsequently become credit impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If, in subsequent reporting periods, the credit risk on the credit impaired financial instrument improves so that the financial asset is no longer credit impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset.

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss and included in the "Other income and gain" line item (note 10).

Impairment of financial assets

The Target Group recognises a loss allowance for ECL on investments in debt instruments that are measured at amortised cost. The amount of ECL is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instruments.

The Target Group always recognises lifetime ECL for trade receivables. The ECL on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix based on the Target Group's historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date, including time value of money where appropriate.

For all other financial instruments, the Target Group measures the loss allowance equal to 12-month ECL unless when there has a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Target Group recognises lifetime ECL. The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognised is based on significant increases in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition.

Significant increase in credit risk

In assessing whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Target Group compares the risk of a default occurring on the

- II-20 -

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF TARGET GROUP

financial instrument as at the end of each reporting period with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition. In making this assessment, the Target Group considers both quantitative and 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:

  1. an actual or expected significant deterioration in the financial instrument's external (if available) or internal credit rating;
  2. significant deterioration in external market indicators of credit risk, e.g. a significant increase in the credit spread, the credit default swap prices for the debtor, or the length of time of the extent to which the fair value of a financial asset has been less than its amortised cost;
  3. existing or forecast adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant decrease in the debtor's ability to meet its debt obligations;
  4. an actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor; and
  5. an actual or expected significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the debtor that results in a significant decrease in the debtor's ability to meet its debt obligations.

Irrespective of the outcome of the above assessment, the Target Group presumes that the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due, unless the Target Group has reasonable and supportable information that demonstrates otherwise.

Despite the foregoing, the Target Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the financial instrument is determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date. A financial instrument is determined to have low credit risk if i) the financial instrument has a low risk of default, ii) the borrower has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term and iii) adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfill its contractual cash flow obligations. the Target Group considers a financial asset to have low credit risk when it has an external credit rating of 'investment grade' as per globally understood definitions.

- II-21 -

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF TARGET GROUP

The Target Group regularly monitors the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk and revises them as appropriate to ensure that the criteria are capable of identifying significant increase in credit risk before the amount becomes past due.

Definition of default

The Target Group considers the following as constituting an event of default for internal credit risk management purposes as historical experience indicates that receivables that meet either of the following criteria are generally not recoverable.

  • when there is a breach of financial covenants by the counterparty; or
  • information developed internally or obtained from external sources indicates that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors, including the Target Group, in full (without taking into account any collaterals held by the Target Group).

Irrespective of the above analysis, the Target Group considers that default has occurred when a financial asset is more than 90 days past due unless the Target Group has reasonable and supportable information to demonstrate that a more lagging default criterion is more appropriate.

Credit-impaired financial assets

A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes observable data about the following events:

  • significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the counterparty;
  • a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event;
  • the lender(s) of the counterparty, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the counterparty's financial difficulty, having granted to the counterparty a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider; or
  • it is becoming probable that the counterparty will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation.

Write-off policy

The Target Group writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the counterparty is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g.

- II-22 -

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF TARGET GROUP

when the counterparty has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings. Financial assets written off may still be subject to enforcement activities under the Target Group's recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where appropriate. Any recoveries made are recognised in profit or loss.

Measurement and recognition of ECL

The measurement of ECL is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted by forward-looking information as described above. As for the exposure at default, for financial assets, this is represented by the assets' gross carrying amount at the end of each reporting period.

For financial assets, the ECL is estimated as the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Target Group in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Target Group expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate.

If the Target Group has measured the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to lifetime ECL in the previous reporting period, but determines at the current reporting date that the conditions for lifetime ECL are no longer met, the Target Group measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to 12-month ECL at the current reporting date, except for assets for which simplified approach was used. the Target Group recognises an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.

Derecognition of financial assets

The Target Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.

On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Classification as debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

- II-23 -

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF TARGET GROUP

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of a group entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by a group entity are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant periods. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the amortised cost of a financial liability.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Target Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Target Group's obligations are discharged, canceled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment losses on tangible assets

At the end of the reporting period, the Target Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Target Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating unit, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Recoverable amount is the higher of 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 for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or a cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or the cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

- II-24 -

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF TARGET GROUP

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or the cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or the cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENT AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Target Group's accounting policies, which are described in note 4, the director of the Target Company is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses reported and disclosures made in the consolidated financial statements. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. 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.

Critical judgement in applying the accounting policies

The following is the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations (see below), that the director of the Company has made in the process of applying the Target Group's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised and disclosures made in the consolidated financial statements.

Going concern consideration

The assessment of the going concern assumption involves making judgements by the director of the Company, at a particular point of time, about the future outcome of events and conditions which are inherently uncertain. The director of the Target Company believes that the liquidity of the Target Group can be maintained in the coming twelve-month period from 31 March 2020 after taking into the considerations as detailed in note 2. The director of the Target Company also believes that the Target Group will have sufficient cash resources to satisfy its future working capital and other financing requirements for the next twelve months from 31 March 2020.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The followings are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

- II-25 -

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF TARGET GROUP

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, after taking into account their estimated residual values. The determination of the useful lives and residual values involve management's estimates based on experience about the economic useful lives of the assets and by making reference to market prices of similar assets. the Target Group assesses annual residual values and the useful lives of the property, plant and equipment and if the expectation differs from the original estimates, such a difference may impact the depreciation in the year and the estimate will be changed in the future period.

At as 31 March 2018, 2019 and 2020, the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment are JPY1,212,699,000, JPY1,145,622,000 and JPY1,073,625,000 respectively.

Estimated impairment of property, plant and equipment

At the end of the reporting period, the management of the Target Group reviews the carrying amounts of the property, plant and equipment and identified if there is any indication for possible impairment. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. In assessing whether there is any indication of possible impairment for property, plant and equipment, the Target Group has considered the recoverable amounts with reference to the valuation performed by independent valuer. During the year ended 31 March 2018, 2019 and 2020 no impairment loss on property, plant and equipment was recognised by the Target Group.

Estimated impairment of trade and other receivables

The impairment provisions for trade and other receivables are based on assumptions about ECL. the Target Group uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, bases on the number of days that an individual receivable is outstanding as well as the Target Group's historical experience and forward-looking information at the end of the reporting period. Changes in these assumptions and estimates could materially affect the result of the assessment and it may be necessary to make additional impairment charge to the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The ECL are assessed collectively using a provision matrix with appropriate groupings and/or individually. As at 31 March 2018, 2019 and 2020, the carrying amount of trade and other receivables were approximately JPY18,256,000, JPY12,670,000 and JPY14,200,000 respectively.

- II-26 -

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF TARGET GROUP

Impairment of goodwill

Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit to which the goodwill is allocated, which is determined by higher of fair value less costs of disposal or value in use. As at 31 March 2018, 2019 and 2020, the carrying amount of goowill is nil. During the year ended 31 March 2018, 2019 and 2020, impairment loss on goodwill of approximately JPY245,918,000, nil and nil was recogised respectively by the Target Group. Details of the recoverable amount calculation are disclosed in note 17.

6. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Target Group manages its capital to ensure that entities within the Target Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balances. the Target Group's overall strategy remained unchanged during the Track Record Period.

The capital structure of the Target Group consists of amount due to a shareholder, bank balances and cash and equity attributable to owners of the Company, comprising issued share capital and reserves.

The director of the Target Company reviews the capital structure of the Target Group periodically. As part of this review, the director of the Target Company considers the cost of capital and risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the director of the Target Company, the Target Group will balance its overall capital structure through new share issues. The director of the Target Company will also consider the raise of additional borrowings as additional capital.

The director of the Target Company also endeavors to ensure the steady and reliable cash flows from the normal business operation.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF TARGET GROUP

  1. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Target Group's major financial instruments include trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, amount due to a shareholder and bank balances and cash.

Details of the financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments include market risk (interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

Interest rate risk

The Target Group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to variable-rate bank balances (see note 20). The Target Group currently does not have an interest rate hedging policy. However, management monitors interest rate exposure and will consider other necessary actions when significant interest rate exposure is anticipated.

As all the Target Group's bank balances were short-term in nature, any change in the interest rate from time to time is not considered to have significant impact to the Target Group's performance.

Credit risk

As at the end of each reporting period, the Target Group's maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Target Group due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties is arising from the carrying amount of the respective recognised financial assets, as stated in the consolidated statements of financial position.

The credit risk of the Target Group mainly arises from bank balances and trade and other receivables. The carrying amounts of these balances represent the Target Group's maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets.

In order to minimise the credit risk, the management of the Target Group has delegated a team responsible for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Target Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the director of the Target Company considers that the Target Group's credit risk is significantly reduced.

For trade receivables, the Target Group has applied the simplified approach in HKFRS 9 to measure the loss allowance at lifetime ECL. The Group determines the ECL by using a provision matrix, estimated based on historical credit loss experience, as well as the general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate. In this regard, the director of the Target Company considers that the Target Group's credit risk is significantly reduced.

- II-28 -

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF TARGET GROUP

For other non-traded related receivables, the Target Group has assessed whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If there has been a significant increase in credit risk, the Target Group will measure the loss allowance based on lifetime rather than 12-month ECL.

The Target Group's exposure to credit risk

In order to minimise credit risk, the Target Group has tasked its operation management committee to develop and maintain the Target Group's credit risk grading to categorise exposures according to their degree of risk of default. The operation management committee uses publicly available financial information and the Target Group's own trading records to rate its major customers and other debtors. the Target Group's exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties.

The Target Group's current credit risk grading framework comprises the following

Note: The Target Group has applied simplidied approach in HKFRS 9 to measure the loss allowance at lifetime ECL.

In respect of cash and cash equivalents, the Target Group will place its cash at banks and financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

The Target Group's concentration of credit risk by geographical location is mainly in Japan.

Liquidity risk

The Target Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the Target Group's operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The management monitors the utilisation of amount due to a shareholder.

The Target Group is exposed to liquidity risk as the Target Group's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately JPY1,859,132,000 and net liabilities of approximately JPY1,031,501,000 as at 31 March 2020 as well as incurred a loss of approximately JPY117,525,000 for the year ended 31 March 2020. The director of the Target Company is of the opinion that the Target Group will have sufficient working capital to meet its financial obligations and the details of which are set out in note 2.

The financial liabilities of the Target Group as at 31 March 2018, 2019 and 2020 are payable on demand or within one year and the undiscounted cash flows are same as the carrying amount.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill as set out above has been allocated to one individual cash-generating unit, comprising one subsidiary, Yoichi Country, engaged in hotel operation.

Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. On the date of acquisition, the recoverable amount of this unit has been determined based on a fair value less cost of disposal of approximately JPY958,782,000 with reference to a valuation performed by an independent valuer. The fair value measurement of Yoichi Country is categorised within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. As such, management considered that the goodwill so arising should be impaired and hence goodwill of JPY245,918,000 was impaired upon acquisition.

The Target Group applies the simplified approach to recognise ECL on trade receivables prescribed by HKFRS 9, which permits the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables. To measure the ECL, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics by reference to past default and current past due exposure of the debtors, and analysis of the debtor's current financial position. The Target Group considers the historical loss rate in the past, and incorporates forward looking macroeconomic data in calculating the ECL ratio. The following table provides information about the exposure to credit risk and ECL for trade receivables which are assessed individually for credit impaired debtors and collectively for not credit-impaired debtors based on provision matrix:

All of the trade receivables as at 31 March 2018, 2019 and 2020 arose from contracts with customers.

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF TARGET GROUP

There has been no change in the estimation techniques or significant assumptions made during the current reporting period.

For the purpose of internal credit risk management of other receivables, the Target Group uses past due information to access whether creit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. As at 31 March 2018, 2019 and 2020, other receivables has been no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. No loss allowance was made during the years ended 31 March 2018, 2019 and 2020 as 12-month ECL is insignificant.

24. ACQUISITION OF A SUBSIDIARY

On 10 May 2017, the Target Company acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Yoichi Country for a cash consideration of JPY1,200,000,000 from an independent third party. This acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method. The amount of goodwill arising as a result of the acquisition was JPY245,918,000. Yoichi Country is engaged in the operation of hotel in Hokkaido, Japan. Yoichi Country was acquired for the expansion of the Target Company's operation.

Consideration transferred

JPY'000

Cash consideration

1,200,000

Acquisition-related costs amounting to JPY281,480,000 have been excluded from the consideration transferred and have been recognised as an expense and included in administrative and other expenses in the consolidated statement of profit or loss for the year ended 31 March 2018.

Assets acquired and liabilities recognised at the date of acquisition are as follows:

JPY'000

Property, plant and equipment

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF TARGET GROUP

The fair value of trade and other receivables at the date of acquisition amounted to approximately JPY17,283,000 which approximated to their gross contractual amounts at the date of acquisition.

Goodwill arising on acquisition:

JPY'000

Consideration transferred

1,200,000

Less: net assets acquired

(954,082)

245,918

Goodwill arose from the acquisition of Yoichi Country because the cost of the combination included premium paid for future business development potential. Such benefit is not recognised separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible asset.

None of the goodwill arising on these acquisitions is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Impairment of goodwill of approximately JPY245,918,000 had been recognised upon completion of an acquisition. Details of impairment of goodwill are set out in note 17.

JPY'000

Cash consideration paid

1,200,000

Less: cash and cash equivalent balances acquired

(9,929)

1,190,071

Included in the loss for the year ended 31 March 2018 is JPY151,067,000 (excluding impairment of goodwill of JPY245,918,000) attributable to the additional business generated by Yoichi Country. All the revenue for the year ended 31 March 2018 was generated from the Target Company.

Had the acquisition been completed on 1 April 2017, total group revenue for the year ended 31 March 2018 would have been approximately JPY148,773,000, and loss for the year ended 31 March 2018 would have been approximately JPY689,860,000. The pro forma information is for illustrative purpose only and is not necessarily an indication of revenue and results of operations of the Group that actually would have been achieved had the acquisition been completed on 1 April 2017, nor is it intended to be a projection of future results.
