INFORMATION OF THE DISPOSAL COMPANY

The Disposal Company was established in the PRC in 2013 with limited liability and a registered capital of RMB150 million. As at the date of this announcement, the Disposal Company is held as to 70% by Zendai Real Estate, which is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The principal assets of the Disposal Company are the Properties, which comprise certain land parcels situated at E-9 District of Yantai Development Zone of Yantai city, Shandong province, the PRC with a total site area of 26,476 square metres. The Appraised Value amounted to approximately RMB146.70 million (equivalent to approximately HK$160.61 million). As at the date of this announcement, the development project of the Disposal Company underlying the Properties is under the planning stage.

As at 31 July 2020, (i) the unaudited net assets of the Disposal Company amounted to approximately RMB139.62 million (equivalent to approximately HK152.86 million); and (ii) the adjusted unaudited net assets of the Disposal Company, after taking into account of the Appraised Value in the amount of approximately RMB146.70 million (equivalent to approximately HK$160.61 million), amounted to approximately RMB143.98 million (equivalent to approximately HK$157.63 million).

From the perspective of the Group, as at 31 July 2020, (i) the proportionate unaudited net assets of the Disposal Company attributable to the Group, which has taken into account of the Amount Due To Minority Shareholder in the amount of approximately RMB55.30 million (equivalent to approximately HK$60.54 million), amounted to approximately RMB25.57 million (equivalent to approximately HK$27.99 million); and (ii) the adjusted proportionate unaudited net assets of the Disposal Company attributable to the Group, which has taken into account of the Amount Due To Minority Shareholder and the Appraised Value, amounted to approximately RMB28.62 million (equivalent to approximately HK$31.33 million).

REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED DISPOSAL AND INTENDED USE OF PROCEEDS

The Group is principally engaged in property development, property investment and provision of property management and hotel operation in the PRC. The Group currently has commercial property and residential projects in various cities in the PRC and majority of which are located in Shanghai and Nanjing.

In recent years, the Group continued to adhere to its business strategy to extensively focus its business development in first and second tier cities in the PRC such as Shanghai and Nanjing while gradually stripping off its business from the third and fourth tire cities. It is the intention of the Group to continue such business strategy in the future. The Properties, which are located in Yantai city, Shandong province, are outside the key development areas of the Group. As at the date of this announcement, since the establishment of the Disposal Company in 2013, the investment by the Group on the Disposal Company has not yet been recovered and the Disposal Company has continuously been loss-making over the last few years, and the capital has been precipitated. Considering the above, the Directors consider that the Proposed Disposal is able to revitalise the funding and represents a good opportunity for the Group to devote more resources and efforts on its property development projects with promising revenue-generating potential.

After deducting the expenses relating to the Proposed Disposal, it is expected that the net proceeds from the Proposed Disposal will amount to approximately RMB32.52 million (equivalent to approximately HK$35.60 million) which will be applied as general working capital of the Group.

Based on the above, the Directors consider that the terms of the Proposed Disposal are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED DISPOSAL

Upon Completion, the Group will cease to hold any equity interests in the Disposal Company and the Disposal Company will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company. Accordingly, the financial results of the Disposal Company will no longer be consolidated into the Group after Completion.

Subject to the Consideration and further audit procedures to be performed by the auditors of the Company, the Group expects to record an unaudited loss (before taxation) from the Proposed Disposal of approximately HK$13.54 million, which is calculated with reference to the minimum bid price of RMB33.00 million (equivalent to approximately HK$36.13 million) less the aggregate of (i) the proportionate unaudited net assets of the Disposal Company attributable to the Group as at 31 July 2020 of approximately RMB25.57 million (equivalent to approximately HK$27.99 million) after taking into account of the Amount Due To Minority Shareholder of approximately RMB55.30 million (equivalent to approximately HK$60.54 million); and (ii) the exchange loss to be released from the foreign exchange reserve of the Group as at 31 July 2020 of approximately HK$ 21.68 million.

Shareholders should note that the actual amount of the gain/loss from the Proposed Disposal to be recognised in the consolidated financial statements of the Company depends on the then exchange rate for converting the proceeds from the Proposed Disposal denominated in RMB into HK$ on or after the date of the Completion, and therefore may be different from the amount mentioned above.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

Based on the minimum bid price of RMB33 million (equivalent to approximately HK$36.13 million), one or more of the applicable percentage ratios as defined in the Listing Rules with respect to the Disposal exceeds 5% but is less than 25%. Accordingly, the Proposed Disposal constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company and is therefore subject to the reporting and announcement requirements pursuant to Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

As at the date of this announcement, the Sale and Purchase Agreement has not yet been executed and the Proposed Disposal may or may not proceed, Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.
