Property information

SA Group holds 60% interest in a subsidiary which operates the integrated resort known as "Tigre de Cristal" currently erected on the site of land with land area of 90,455 square meters with cadastral number 25:27:020102:133. It is located at bld. 11, coast of the Pionerskaya Bay, town of Artyom, Primorsky Krai, Russia with total gross floor area of approximately 36,000 square meters, comprising gaming, food and beverage area and 121 hotel guest rooms.

INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

The Group is principally engaged in (i) property development in Guangdong and Anhui Provinces in the PRC; (ii) property leasing in Shenzhen in the PRC; (iii) provision of hotel and integrated resort general consultancy service in Vietnam; and (iv) provision of travel related products and service. The Group has been expanding and seeking opportunities to expand its tourism-related business, in particular, investment in integrated resort and provision of hotel and integrated resort general consultancy services in the South East Asia region.

REASONS FOR, AND BENEFITS OF, THE UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT AND THE

ACQUISITION

The principal business of the SA Group in the operation of the hotel and gaming business is in line with the Group's current and expanding investments in the hotel and gaming related business. The SA Rights Issue provides a channel through which the funding need of the SA Group for its business development and investment can be met.

The estimated net proceeds from the SA Rights Issue of not less than approximately HK$1,618.42 million are intended to be applied by Summit Ascent in the following manner (assuming no new SA Shares will be issued and no SA Shares will be bought back) as to (i) approximately 52.3% or HK$847 million to the Subscription; (ii) approximately 37.1% or HK$601 million to the Phase II development of Tigre de Cristal; and (iii) approximately 10.6% or HK$170 million for general working capital.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, SA Group's income is predominately generated from its gaming and hotel operations in the IEZ Primorye. To reduce SA Group's reliance on a single revenue source within a single country, it is considered to be in the interests of Summit Ascent to diversify its revenue source by exploring different revenue streams and/or markets in different countries. Compared to the Russian Federation's average annual GDP growth of 1.4% from 2016 to 2018, it is noticed that the Philippines recorded an average annual GDP growth of 6.6% across the same period, with the gambling sector in the Philippines growing at an even faster rate. Hence, the Philippines gambling sector is

- 14 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

considered by the board of directors of Summit Ascent as having a great potential in developing and investment return. With the Subscription in place, Summit Ascent can have an additional source of revenue from the 6.0% coupon rate or 8.0% internal rate of return of the Convertible Bonds on one hand. On the other hand, Summit Ascent can exercise the conversion rights attached to the Convertible Bonds to obtain shares of SunTrust when SunTrust's financial performance has been greatly benefited by the Main Hotel Casino which is expected to commence operations prior to 2023. Given the maturity date of the Convertible Bonds is 5 years from the date of issue of the Convertible Bonds which is expected to be in 2025, Summit Ascent is considered to have sufficient time to observe the financial impact of Main Hotel Casino on SunTrust before exercising the conversion rights attached to the Convertible Bonds. Therefore, the Subscription enables Summit Ascent to diversify the SA Group's revenue source and enter into a new growing geographical market.

In addition, with the gaming license in place granted by the Russian government for an indefinite period, SA Group possesses the development rights on two adjacent parcels of land, namely Lot 9 and Lot 10, in the IEZ Primorye. The first gaming and hotel property, known as Tigre de Cristal, is built on Lot 9 and has commenced operation since the fourth quarter of 2015. Summit Ascent is currently refining the design and construction elements of the Phase II development on Lot 10 and the opening of which is targeted to be in 2022. This Phase II development is expected to double the SA Group's VIP gaming tables and slots, enhance twice the lodging capacity of the existing property, as well as including additional facilities such as restaurants, bars, retail offerings, indoor beach club and spa.

Based on the financial resources available to Summit Ascent, Summit Ascent may not have sufficient fund for both the development of Phase II of Tigre de Cristal and the Subscription without obtaining the net proceeds from the SA Rights Issue. Save for the proposed SA Rights Issue, Summit Ascent does not have any other plans to conduct equity fund raising, or obtain debt financing to finance the Phase II development of Tigre de Cristal, and neither are there any plans nor binding agreements signed for expanding the scale of Tigre de Cristal or the expansion of the remaining part of Lot 10.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, Summit Ascent may exercise the conversion rights attaching to the Convertible Bonds which are convertible to the shares of SunTrust at PHP1.8 per share of SunTrust. Since the Convertible Bonds have a coupon rate of 6.0% per annum or an internal rate of return of 8.0%, Summit Ascent may only exercise the conversion rights when the Convertible Bonds are in the money. The Group has also subscribed convertible bonds of SunTrust in the principal amount of PHP7.3 billion (equivalent to approximately HK$1.1 billion) in which the conversion price is PHP1.1 per share of SunTrust, therefore, if the Convertible Bonds are in the money, the Group will also exercise its conversion rights and will hold approximately 60.8% interest in SunTrust after the conversion of the abovementioned convertible bonds.

The participation of the Group in the SA Rights Issue in committing to subscribe for the Committed SA Shares and acting as an underwriter to the SA Rights Issue, is expected to foster SA Shareholders' confidence in the SA Group and promote the success of the SA Rights Issue which is not only solely for the good of the SA Group but also for that of the Group with the Company and Victor Sky as its substantial shareholders, despite the fact that Summit Ascent may or may not become a subsidiary of the Company depending on the number of Underwritten Shares as may be taken up by Victor Sky under the Underwriting Agreement.

APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

As 30 June 2020, except for a bank loan of approximately RMB59,812,000 was guaranteed by Mr. Chau, all of the above indebtedness were unguaranteed.

Pledged assets

The Enlarged Group pledged the entire equity interest of a subsidiary, certain of its property, plant and equipment, investment properties, inventories, rental deposits and bank deposits for credit facilities granted to the Enlarged Group. The secured and unguaranteed lease liabilities of the Enlarged Group were secured by rental deposits paid by the Enlarged Group.

As at 30 June 2020, the indirect equity interest of approximately 34% in Hoi An South Development Limited ("HASD"), a subsidiary of the Company's joint venture, were pledged to a bank for the banking facilities granted to HASD.

Contingent liabilities and guarantees

As at 30 June 2020, the Enlarged Group provided guarantees to certain banks in respect of mortgage facilities granted in connection with the mortgage loans entered into by buyers of the Enlarged Group's properties of approximately RMB1 million. Pursuant to the terms of the guarantees contract, if there are any defaults on the mortgages, the Enlarged Group is liable to the repayment of the outstanding mortgage principals together with the accrued interest and penalty payable by the defaulting buyers to banks. The Enlarged Group is then entitled to take over the legal title and possession of the related properties. The guarantees shall be released upon the issue of the relevant buyer's property ownership certificate and in the custody of the banks.

Bank balances of approximately RMB299,000 have been pledged with the banks as guarantee deposits for the mortgage loan facilities granted by the banks to buyers of the Enlarged Group's properties as at 30 June 2020.

As at 30 June 2020, the Enlarged Group was involved in several litigations in relation to the construction of the Enlarged Group's properties under development in the PRC with several contractors and suppliers, who are independent third parties to the Company and Summit Ascent. Based on the view that the legal proceeding was still in progress and with reference to the legal opinion obtained from the Company's PRC lawyer, the management considered that the likelihood for further outflow of resources of the Enlarged Group was not probable, and therefore, liabilities in relation to these litigations have been disclosed as contingent liabilities.

General

Save as aforesaid and apart from intra-group liabilities and normal trade payables arising in the ordinary course of business, the Enlarged Group did not have any debt securities, issued and outstanding, and authorised or otherwise created but unissued, any other outstanding loan capital, any other borrowings or indebtedness in the nature of borrowing including bank overdrafts and liabilities under acceptance (other than normal trade bills), mortgages and charges, acceptance credits, hire purchase commitments, other material contingent liabilities or guarantees outstanding as at 30 June 2020.

APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

3. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

Due to the seize of certain portion of the investment properties in relation to the 2013 Litigation as described in "Appendix V (General Information) - 7. Litigation" in this circular, a subsidiary of the Group was in breach of the covenants in respect of a bank borrowing, which led to an event of default for such bank borrowing. Accordingly, the bank borrowing amounting to RMB55,000,000 is reclassified from non-current liabilities to current liabilities as of 31 December 2019. On discovery of the breach, the Company has informed the relevant bank and commenced negotiations to obtain waiver from strict compliance with the relevant financial covenants.

Save as disclosed above and the section headed "49. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD" in the 2019 Annual Report, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors confirmed there has not been any material adverse change in the financial or trading position of the Group since 31 December 2019 (being the date to which the latest published audited financial statements of the Group were made up) up to and including the Latest Practicable Date.

4. SUFFICIENCY OF WORKING CAPITAL

As at 30 June 2020, the Enlarged Group's total borrowings comprising bank and other borrowings, loans from a related company and non-controlling shareholders of subsidiaries, convertible bonds due to related companies, non-trade related amounts due to a related company, non-controlling shareholders of a subsidiary and a director and lease liabilities amounted to approximately RMB6,039,182,000.

The Directors have reviewed the Enlarged Group's cash flow projections which cover a period of not less than 12 months from the date of this circular. They are of the opinion that the Enlarged Group will have sufficient working capital to meet its financial obligations that will be due in the coming twelve months from the date of this circular based on the Enlarged Group's existing resources and upon successful implementation of the following measures which will generate adequate financing and operating cash inflows for the Enlarged Group:

  • SunTrust will be succeeded in raising fund to the extent of PHP16.6 billion (equivalent to RMB2.36 billion or US$333 million) through debt and/or equity financings to finance the construction and development of the Main Hotel Casino, of which US$200 million will be deployed in effecting payment of the Project Site Payment (i.e. the US$200 million payable by SunTrust under the co-development agreement dated 28 October 2019 (as the same is supplemented and amended from time to time), of which:
    • PHP2.55 billion (equivalent to approximately RMB0.36 billion or US$51 million) from subscription of new shares in SunTrust by Fortune Noble from SunTrust under the subscription agreement dated 28 October 2019 as financed by the 1,750M Loan Facility, details of which are set out in "5. Details of the Controlling Shareholder Facilities" in this Appendix I. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there is no outstanding amount of money to be paid for the subscription of new shares in SunTrust by Fortune Noble;

- I-3 -

APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

  • PHP7.3 billion (equivalent to approximately RMB1.04 billion or US$146.6 million) from subscription of zero coupon convertible bonds by Fortune Noble from SunTrust under the subscription agreement dated 29 May 2020 to be financed by the 1,750M Loan Facility, details of which are set out in "5. Details of the Controlling Shareholder Facilities" in this Appendix I; and
  • PHP5.6 billion (equivalent to approximately RMB0.80 billion or US$115 million) from subscription of the Convertible Bonds by Summit Ascent from SunTrust under the Subscription Agreement.

In the unlikely event that the financings of PHP16.6 billion (equivalent to approximately HK$2,500 million) cannot be raised, the impact of the working capital sufficiency forecast will be minimal, if at all, on the basis that the availability of 1,750M Loan Facility from Star Hope, which is a connected person of the Company for it being a company wholly-owned by Mr. Chau, to the Enlarged Group up to the extent of HK$1,750 million at an annual interest rate of 3.5% and the continuing financing support from Mr. Chau if and when needed by the Enlarged Group as stated in a letter of financial support from Mr. Chau have been factored when assessing the working capital sufficiency forecast of the Enlarged Group.

  • The Enlarged Group had certain loans from non-controlling shareholders of MSRD Corporation Limited ("MSRD") with principal amount of JPY1,323,000,000 (equivalent to approximately RMB87,053,000) pursuant to the loan and security agreement dated 30 August 2019 as at 30 June 2020, which matured in July 2020. Pursuant to the supplemental agreement dated 21 July 2020, the maturity date of the loan and security agreement is extended by 12 months from July 2020 to July 2021. Save for the extension of the maturity date, all other terms of the loan and security agreement shall remain unchanged. The Enlarged Group has obtained a letter of undertaking from the non-controlling shareholders of MSRD that the loans from non-controlling shareholders will be further renewed upon July 2021 for more than one year if necessary.
  • As at 30 June 2020, the Enlarged Group had 2016 Convertible Bond with outstanding principal amount of HK$402,000,000 (equivalent to approximately RMB367,187,000) and 2018 Convertible Bond with outstanding principal amount of HK$297,000,000 (equivalent to approximately RMB271,280,000), which are held by related companies controlled by Mr. Chau, the controlling shareholder of the Enlarged Group, and Mr. Lo Kai Bong, the director of the Company, and will mature in December 2020 and August 2020 respectively. The Enlarged Group has obtained a written agreement from Mr. Chau that the 2016 Convertible Bond will be extended upon the relevant maturity date for more than one year. Pursuant to the supplemental deed dated 3 July 2020, the maturity date of the 2018 Convertible Bond will be extended by 24 months from 28 August 2020 to 28 August 2022, subject to the fulfillment of the conditions precedent as stated in the announcement of the Company dated 3 July 2020.

- I-4 -

APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

  • As at 30 June 2020, the Enlarged Group had a promissory note issued to a related company in the principal amount of HK$303,000,000 (equivalent to approximately RMB276,760,000) which will mature in August 2020. Pursuant to the supplemental promissory note dated 3 July 2020, the maturity date of the promissory note is extended by 24 months from 28 August 2020 to 28 August 2022 where the approval of Shareholders is not required. Save for the extension of the maturity date, all other terms of the promissory note shall remain unchanged.
  • As at 30 June 2020, the Enlarged Group had a promissory note issued to a director of the Company in the principal amount of HK$5,584,000 (equivalent to approximately RMB5,101,000) which will mature in August 2020. The Enlarged Group has obtained a written agreement from Mr. Chau that promissory note will be extended upon the relevant maturity date for more than one year.
  • The Enlarged Group is currently negotiating with a bank for additional financing for the hotel project of MSRD in Japan, the first tranche of bank financing amounted to approximately JPY4,144 million (equivalent to RMB273 million) will be drawn down during the period of 12 months from date of this circular. The Enlarged Group has received preliminary proposal from the bank for banking facility with repayment periods for more than one year.
  • The non-controlling shareholders of MSRD will inject approximately JPY2,031 million (equivalent to approximately RMB134 million), representing the consideration for potential subscription of 49% of new shares to be issued by MSRD or further shareholders' loan, to MSRD upon finalising the development plan of the plot of land of MSRD in 2020.
  • Mr. Chau, its controlling shareholder, will provide financial support to the Enlarged Group to meet its financial obligation if it is required. Based on the Board's review of Mr. Chau's financial background and information, assets backing and the track record of Mr. Chau's continuous financial support to the Enlarged Group, the Board is of the view that Mr. Chau has sufficient financial resources to render his financial support to the Enlarged Group.

Based on the details of existing loan facilities granted by a related company of the Company as described in "Appendix I (Financial Information of the Group) - 5. Details of the Controlling Shareholder Facilities", the further investment of the Enlarged Group in SunTrust will be financed by (i) the 1,750M Loan Facility; and (ii) part of the net proceeds from the SA Rights Issue of Summit Ascent.

After taking into account of the completion of the Acquisition, the Enlarged Group's business prospects, financial support from controlling shareholder, internal resources, and the available committed and uncommitted financing facilities and arrangements, equity issuance as mentioned above, the Directors are satisfied that, the Enlarged Group has sufficient working capital for its present requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date of this circular.

- I-5 -

APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Notwithstanding the above, significant uncertainties exist as to whether the Enlarged Group can achieve the plans and measures described above. The sufficiency of the Enlarged Group's working capital to satisfy its present requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date of this circular is highly dependent on the Enlarged Group's ability to obtain sufficient financial support from its controlling shareholder, Mr. Chau, generate adequate financing cash flows through successful securing of the financing from banks or financial institutions, extending loans, convertible bonds and promissory note which will be matured in the next twelve months from the date of this circular, issuance of convertible bonds and shares by subsidiaries and other long-term financing.

APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Summit Ascent holds 60% of the issued share capital of an integrated resort named "TIGRE DE CRISTAL" in Russian Far East. Phase 1 of TIGRE DE CRISTAL has commenced operation since 2015 and is comprised of gaming area with about 30 VIP gaming tables, 35 mass gaming tables and 330 slot machines and a 121 rooms 5-star hotel with F&B and retail outlets. Phase 2 of TIGRE DE CRISTAL is expected to be comprised of a 4-star hotel with 350 rooms, 50 VIP gaming tables, 25 mass gaming tables and 300 slot machines, four restaurants, additional entertainment and retail facilities and an indoor beach club.

Upon completion of the acquisition by Fortune Noble of the 1,147,500,000 shares of SunTrust on 28 October 2019, SunTrust became a 51% owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the operations and management/services agreement dated 4 May 2020 entered into between Westside as appointer and SunTrust as appointee in relation to the appointment of SunTrust as the sole and exclusive operator to operate and manage the Main Hotel Casino (the "O&M Agreement") as contemplated under the Co-Development Agreement, SunTrust will be the sole and exclusive operator and manager of the Main Hotel Casino, which will be a 5-star hotel and casino complex at the Entertainment City, Manila, the Philippines.

Upon full exercise of the rights to convert the CB into common shares of SunTrust at the initial conversion price of PHP1.1 each into shares of SunTrust (the "SunTrust Conversion Shares"), SunTrust will become 74.42% owned by the Company (on the basis of 7,250,000,000 shares of SunTrust in issue as at the date of this circular and assuming no change in that number other than by the issuance of the SunTrust Conversion Shares).

On 1 June 2020, SunTrust (as issuer) and Summit Ascent (as subscriber) entered into the Subscription Agreement pursuant to which Summit Ascent has conditionally agreed to subscribe for the Convertible Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of up to PHP5.6 billion (equivalent to HK$847 million) convertible into shares of SunTrust to be issued by SunTrust.

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUMMIT ASCENT

The following is the text of the accountants' report on Summit Ascent for the three months ended 31 March 2020, prepared for the purpose of inclusion in this circular, received from the independent reporting accountants, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, Certified Public Accountants, Hong Kong.

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUMMIT ASCENT HOLDINGS LIMITED AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES TO THE DIRECTORS OF SUNCITY GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED

Introduction

We report on the historical financial information of Summit Ascent Holdings Limited (the "Target Company") and its subsidiaries (together, the "Target Group") set out on pages II-5 to II-52, which comprises the consolidated statements of financial position of the Target Group as at 31 March 2020, and the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and the consolidated statements of cash flows of the Target Group for the three months ended 31 March 2020 (the "Relevant Period") and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (together, the "Historical Financial Information"). The Historical Financial Information set out on pages II-5 to II-52 forms an integral part of this report, which has been prepared for inclusion in the circular of Suncity Group Holdings Limited dated 12 August 2020 (the "Circular") in connection with the proposed transaction in relation to the acquisition of equity interests in the Target Group.

Directors' responsibility for the Historical Financial Information

The directors of the Target Company are responsible for the preparation of the Historical Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in Note 2 to the Historical Financial Information, and for such internal control as the directors of the Target Company determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the Historical Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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 (the "HKICPA"). This standard requires that we comply with ethical standards and plan and perform our work to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Historical Financial Information is free from material misstatement.

- II-2 -

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUMMIT ASCENT

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 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 Company, 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 purposes of the accountants' report, a true and fair view of the Target Group's financial position as at 31 March 2020 and of the Target Group's financial performance and cash flows for the Relevant Period in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in Note 2 to the Historical Financial Information.

Review of stub period comparative financial information

We have reviewed the stub period comparative financial information of the Target Group which comprises the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended 31 March 2019 and other explanatory information (the "Stub Period Comparative Financial Information"). The directors of the Target Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in Note 2 to the Historical Financial Information. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the HKICPA. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information, for the purposes of the accountants' report, is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in Note 2 to the Historical Financial Information.

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUMMIT ASCENT

NOTES TO THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED 31 MARCH 2020

1. GENERAL

The Target Company is a limited liability company incorporated in Bermuda and its shares are listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. The addresses of the registered office and principal place of business of the Target Company is Unit 1704, 17th Floor, West Tower, Shun Tak Centre, 200 Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong.

The Target Company acts as an investment holding company. The principal activities of the Target Group are the operation of hotel and gaming business in the Integrated Entertainment Zone of the Primorye Region (the "IEZ Primorye") in the Russian Federation. The principal subsidiaries and their activities are set out in note 36.

The Historical Financial Information are presented in Hong Kong dollar ("HK$") which is also the functional currency of the Target Company. The functional currency of G1 Entertainment Limited Liability Company ("G1 Entertainment"), a principal subsidiary of the Target Group engaged in the gaming and hotel operations in the Russian Federation, is in HK$. This is based on the fact that the currency that mainly influences its gaming revenue is HK$.

Significant event in the current period

The outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 ("COVID-19")

With effect from 20 February 2020, as part of the efforts to contain the COVID-19 outbreak, the Russian government implemented a temporary entry ban for Chinese nationals, including passport holders from Hong Kong and Macau, which had an adverse impact on the Target Group's visitation in early 2020, particularly in the rolling chip business. On 27 March 2020, the Target Company announced, as COVID-19 outbreak situation has been escalating in the Russian Federation, the Russian government has announced a number of measures to control the outbreak. The gaming property operated under a subsidiary of the Target Company, G1 Entertainment, has followed the suggestions of the Russian government by temporarily suspending its gaming operations from 28 March 2020 (Saturday) until its reopening on 16 July 2020 (Thursday). The hotel operations of the Target Group, G1 Entertainment, continued to serve in a limited capacity during the period of suspension.

The SA Directors believe that COVID-19 will continue to present challenges to the business and it is impossible to quantify the impact to the overall business due to many uncertainties, including:

  • Length of closure period, if any
  • Time to reopen and ramp up once reopened
  • Impact of COVID-19 on the economy and consumer behavior in the short and long term

Nevertheless, the Target Group has a strong liquidity position and would be able to continue its operation under this unprecedented period of 'near-zero revenue' for over twelve months from the end of the reporting period.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs. The significant accounting policies are set out in note 4.

No statutory financial statements of the Target Company have been prepared since its date of incorporation as it is incorporated in the jurisdiction where there are no statutory audit requirements.

3. ADOPTION OF NEW AND AMENDMENTS TO HKFRSs

For the purpose of preparing the Historical Financial Information for the Relevant Period, the Target Group has consistently applied the HKFRSs, which are effective for the accounting period beginning on 1 January 2020. The application of the new and amendments to HKFRSs since 1 January 2020 has had no material impact on the Target Group's financial position and performance for the Relevant Period and/or on the disclosures set out in these Historical Financial Information.

- II-12 -

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Historical Financial Information have been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA. In addition, the Historical Financial Information include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited ("Listing Rules") and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance ("CO").

The Historical Financial Information have been prepared on the historical cost basis at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies set out below.

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 at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Target Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in the Historical Financial Information is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of HKFRS 2 Share-basedPayment, leasing transactions that are accounted for in accordance with HKFRS 16, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in HKAS 2 Inventories or value in use in HKAS 36 Impairment of Assets.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

  • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
  • Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The principal accounting policies are set out below.

- II-13 -

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUMMIT ASCENT

Basis of consolidation

The Historical Financial Information incorporate the financial statements of the Target Company and entities controlled by the Target Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Target Company:

  • has power over the investee;
  • is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
  • has the ability to use its power to affect its 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. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated statement 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 item of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Target Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Target Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Target Group's accounting policies.

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

Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are presented separately from the Target Group's equity therein, which represent present ownership interests entitling their holders to a proportionate share of net assets of the relevant subsidiaries upon liquidation.

Revenue from contracts with 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 the same.

The Target Group recognises 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 the customer.

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 or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Target Group performs; 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.

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

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. 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.

- II-14 -

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUMMIT ASCENT

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 (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer.

A contract asset and a contract liability relating to the same contract are accounted for and presented on a net basis.

Contracts with multiple performance obligations (including allocation of transaction price)

For contracts that contain more than one performance obligations (typically include settling a customer's wager, providing rooms and food and beverage services to the customers on a discounted or complementary basis and points earned under the Target Group's customer loyalty program), the Target Group allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis.

The stand-alone selling price of the distinct good or service underlying each performance obligation is determined at contract inception. It represents the price at which the Target Group would sell a promised good or service separately to a customer. If a stand-alone selling price is not directly observable, the Target Group estimates it using appropriate techniques such that the transaction price ultimately allocated to any performance obligation reflects the amount of consideration to which the Target Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services to the customer.

Revenue from gaming operations represents the aggregate net difference between gaming wins and losses. The commissions rebated to customers related to their play are recorded as a reduction to revenue from gaming operations.

For revenue contracts that include discounted or complimentary products and services provided by the Target Group to customers, the Target Group allocates the relative stand-alone selling price of each product and service to the respective revenue type. Cost of the respective products or services provided by the Target Group are recorded as an expense.

For revenue transactions that entitles a customer to earn points under the Target Group's customer loyalty programs, the Target Group allocates the estimated stand-alone selling price of the points earned to the loyalty program liability. Such amount is deferred as loyalty program liability in other payables until redemption occurs. Upon redemption of the loyalty program points for products and services provided by the Target Group, the amount deferred of each product or service provided by the Target Group is allocated to the respective revenue type.

For the rooms and food and beverage services provided for which the control of services is transferred over time or at a point in time, respectively, revenue is recognised when the customer obtains the control of the completed services and the Target Group has present right to payment and the collection of the consideration is probable.

Gaming tax

The Target Group is required to make certain variable and fixed payments to the tax authority in the Russian Federation based on the number of tables and slot machines in its possession. These expenses are reported as "gaming tax" in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and are charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as incurred.

Leases

Definition of a lease

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

The Target Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the definition under HKFRS 16 at inception, modification date or business acquisition date, as appropriate. Such contract will not be reassessed unless the terms and conditions of the contract are subsequently changed.

- II-15 -

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUMMIT ASCENT

The Target Group as a lessee

Allocation of consideration to components of a contract

For a contract that contains a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, the Target Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components, including contract for acquisition of ownership interests of a property which includes both leasehold land and non-lease building components, unless such allocation cannot be made reliably.

The Target Group also applies practical expedient not to separate non-lease components from lease component, and instead account for the lease component and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Target Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to leases of office and that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option. It also applies the recognition exemption for lease of low-value assets. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis or another systematic basis over the lease term.

Right-of-use assets

The cost of right-of-use asset includes:

  • the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability; and
  • any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease

term.

The Target Group presents right-of-use assets as a separate line item on the consolidated statement of financial position.

Refundable rental deposits

Refundable rental deposits paid are accounted under HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments ("HKFRS 9") and initially measured at fair value. Adjustments to fair value at initial recognition are considered as additional lease payments and included in the cost of right-of-use assets.

Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of a lease, the Target Group recognises and measures the lease liability at the present value of lease payments that are unpaid at that date. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Target Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.

The lease payments include:

  • fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable;
  • variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate; and
  • payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Target Group exercising an option to terminate the lease.

Variable lease payments that reflect changes in market rental rates are initially measured using the market rental rates as at the commencement date. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are not included in the measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets, and are recognised as expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

- II-16 -

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUMMIT ASCENT

After the commencement date, lease liabilities are adjusted by interest accretion and lease payments.

The Target Group remeasures lease liabilities (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use assets) whenever:

  • the lease term has changed or there is a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the related lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the date of reassessment.
  • the lease payments change due to changes in market rental rates following a market rent review in which cases the related lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using the initial discount rate.

The Target Group presents lease liabilities as a separate line item on the consolidated statement of financial position.

Lease modifications

The Target Group accounts for a lease modification as a separate lease if:

  • the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets; and
  • the consideration for the leases increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-alone price for the increase in scope and any appropriate adjustments to that stand-alone price to reflect the circumstances of the particular contract.

For a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Target Group remeasures the lease liability based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification.

The Target Group as lessor

Classification and measurement of leases

Leases for which the Target Group is a lessor are classified as finance or operating leases. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Rental income from operating leases is recognised in profit or loss 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 such costs are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments for operating leases that depend on an index or a rate are estimated and included in the total lease payments to be recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as income when they arise.

Allocation of consideration to components of a contract

When a contract includes both leases and non-lease components, the Target Group applies HKFRS 15 to allocate consideration in a contract to lease and non-lease components. Non-lease components are separated from lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone selling prices.

Refundable rental deposits

Refundable rental deposits received are accounted for under HKFRS 9 and initially measured at fair value. Adjustments to fair value at initial recognition are considered as additional lease payments from lessees.

- II-17 -

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUMMIT ASCENT

Lease modification

The Target Group accounts for a modification to an operating lease as a new lease from the effective date of the modification, considering any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to the original lease as part of the lease payments for the new lease.

Foreign currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Any specific borrowing that remain outstanding after the related asset is ready for its intended use or sale is included in the general borrowing pool for calculation of capitalisation rate on general borrowings. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Retirement benefit costs

Payments to the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme ("MPF Scheme") and the Russian Federation State Pension Fund are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are recognised at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid as and when employees rendered the services. All short-term employee benefits are recognised as an expense unless another HKFRS requires or permits the inclusion of the benefit in the cost of an asset.

A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees (such as wages and salaries and annual leave) after deducting any amount already paid.

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 period. Taxable profit differs from (loss) profit before tax because of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and 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 consolidated financial statements 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 differences 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. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.

- II-18 -

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUMMIT ASCENT

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and interest in a joint venture, except where 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 and interests 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.

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.

For the purpose of measuring deferred tax for leasing transactions in which the Target Group recognises the right-of-use assets and the related lease liabilities, the Target Group first determines whether the tax deductions are attributable to the right-of-use assets or the lease liabilities.

For leasing transactions in which the tax deductions are attributable to the lease liabilities, the Target Group applies HKAS 12 Income Taxes requirements to right-of-use assets and lease liabilities separately. Temporary difference on initial recognition of the relevant right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are not recognised due to application of the initial recognition exemption. Temporary differences arising from subsequent revision to the carrying amounts of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, resulting from remeasurement of lease liabilities and lease modifications, that are not subject to initial recognition exemption are recognised on the date of remeasurement or modification.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied to the same taxable entity by the same taxation authority.

Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. When current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

In assessing any uncertainty over income tax treatments, the Target Group considers whether it is probable that the relevant tax authority will accept the uncertain tax treatment used, or proposed to be used by individually group entities in their income tax filings. If it is probable, the current and deferred taxes are determined consistently with the tax treatment in the income tax filings. If it is not probable that the relevant taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, the effect of each uncertainty is reflected by using either the most likely amount or the expected value.

Property, operating right and equipment

Properties, operating right and equipment are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Property in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment loss. Costs include any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Target Group's accounting policy. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

Ownership interests in leasehold land and building

When the Target Group makes payments for ownership interests of properties which includes both leasehold land and building elements, the entire consideration is allocated between the leasehold land and the building elements in proportion to the relative fair values at initial recognition.

- II-19 -

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUMMIT ASCENT

To the extent the allocation of the relevant payments can be made reliably, interest in leasehold land is presented as "right-of-use assets" in the consolidated statement of financial position. When the consideration cannot be allocated reliably between non-lease building element and undivided interest in the underlying leasehold land, the entire properties are classified as property, operating right and equipment.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets other than properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives 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, operating right 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 disposal or retirement of an item of property, operating right and equipment is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment on property, operating rights and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets other than

goodwill

At the end of the reporting period, the Target Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, operating rights and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets with finite useful lives 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 relevant asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

The recoverable amount of property, operating rights and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets are estimated individually. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount individually, the Target Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

In testing a cash-generating unit for impairment, corporate assets are allocated to the relevant cash-generating unit when a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be established, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be established. The recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units to which the corporate asset belongs, and is compared with the carrying amount of the relevant cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units.

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 (or a cash-generating unit) 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 a cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. For corporate assets or portion of corporate assets which cannot be allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to a cash-generating unit, the Target Group compares the carrying amount of a group of cash-generating units, including the carrying amounts of the corporate assets or portion of corporate assets allocated to that group of cash-generating units, with the recoverable amount of the group of cash-generating units. In allocating the impairment loss, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill (if applicable) and then to the other assets on a pro-rata basis based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit or the group of cash-generating units. The carrying amount of an asset is not reduced below the highest of its fair value less costs of disposal (if measurable), its value in use (if determinable) and zero. The amount of the impairment loss that would otherwise have been allocated to the asset is allocated pro rata to the other assets of the unit or the group of cash-generating units. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit or the group of cash-generating units) 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 a cash-generating unit or a group of cash-generating units) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of inventories are determined on a weighted average 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-20 -

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUMMIT ASCENT

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Target Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Target Group will be required to settle that obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect of the time value of money is material).

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 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 market place.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value except for trade receivables arising from contracts with customers which are initially measured in accordance with HKFRS 15. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of allocating interest income and interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts and 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 asset or financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Financial assets

Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost:

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

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI"):

  • the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both selling and collecting contractual cash flows; and
  • the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

All other financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"), except that at the date of initial recognition of a financial asset the Target Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in fair value of an equity investment in other comprehensive income if that equity investment is neither held for trading nor contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination to which HKFRS 3 Business Combinations applies.

A financial asset is held for trading if:

  • it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term; or

- II-21 -

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUMMIT ASCENT

  • on initial recognition it is a part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Target Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-termprofit-taking; or
  • it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

In addition, the Target Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that are required to be measured at the amortised cost or FVTOCI as measured at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch.

Amortised cost and interest income

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method for financial assets measured subsequently at amortised. 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 from the next reporting period. If 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 from the beginning of the reporting period following the determination that the asset is no longer credit-impaired.

Impairment of financial assets

The Target Group performs impairment assessment under expected credit loss ("ECL") model on financial assets (including trade and other receivables, and bank balances) which are subject to impairment under HKFRS 9. The amount of ECL is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.

Lifetime ECL represents the ECL that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of the relevant instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL ("12m ECL") represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. Assessment are done 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 conditions at the reporting date as well as the forecast of future conditions.

The Target Group always recognises lifetime ECL for trade receivables. The ECL on these assets are assessed individually for debtors with significant balances and/or collectively using a provision matrix with appropriate groupings.

For all other instruments, the Target Group measures the loss allowance equal to 12m ECL, unless when there has been 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.

  1. Significant increase in credit risk

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

  • an actual or expected significant deterioration in the financial instrument's external (if available) or internal credit rating;
  • 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;
  • 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;
  • an actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor; and

- II-22 -

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUMMIT ASCENT

  • 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.

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.

  1. Definition of default

For internal credit risk management, the Target Group considers an event of default occurs when 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, 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.

  1. Credit-impairedfinancial 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:

    1. significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;
    2. a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event;
    3. the lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider; or
    4. it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization.
  1. Write-offpolicy
    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, for example, when the counterparty has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings, or in the case of trade receivables, when the amounts are over three months past due, whichever occurs sooner. 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. A write-off constitutes a derecognition event. Any subsequent recoveries are recognised in profit or loss.

  1. 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 and forward-looking information. Estimation of ECL reflects an unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights.

Generally, the ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Target Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Target Group expects to receive, discounted at the effective interest rate determined at initial recognition.

Debtors with significant outstanding or credit-impaired were assessed individually. Where ECL is measured on a collective basis or cater for cases where evidence at the individual instrument level may not yet be available, the financial instruments are grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and days past due.

- II-23 -

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUMMIT ASCENT

The grouping is regularly reviewed by management to ensure the constituents of each group continue to share similar credit risk characteristics.

Interest income is calculated based on the gross carrying amount of the financial asset unless the financial asset is credit impaired, in which case interest income is calculated based on amortised cost of the financial asset.

The Target Group recognises an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments by adjusting their carrying amount, with the exception of trade and other receivables where the corresponding adjustment is recognised 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 entity. If the Target Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Target Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Target Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Target Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

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

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.

Equity instruments

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

Financial liabilities at amortised cost

Financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, and loans from non-controlling shareholders of a subsidiary are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Derecognition/substantial modification of financial liabilities

The Target Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Target Group's obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

The Target Group accounts for an exchange with a lender of a financial liability with substantially different terms as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. A substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability or a part of it (whether or not attributable to the financial difficulty of the Target Group) is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability.

The Target Group considers that the terms are substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received and discounted using the original effective interest rate, is at least 10 per cent different from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability. Accordingly, such exchange of debt instruments or modification of terms is accounted for as an extinguishment, any costs or fees incurred are recognised as part of the gain or loss on the extinguishment. The exchange or modification is considered as non-substantial modification when such difference is less than 10 per cent.

- II-24 -

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUMMIT ASCENT

Non-substantial modifications of financial liabilities

For non-substantial modifications of financial liabilities that do not result in derecognition, the carrying amount of the relevant financial liabilities will be calculated at the present value of the modified contractual cash flows discounted at the financial liabilities' original effective interest rate. Transaction costs or fees incurred are adjusted to the carrying amount of the modified financial liabilities and are amortised over the remaining term. Any adjustment to the carrying amount of the financial liability is recognised in profit or loss at the date of modification.

Share-based payments

Equity-settledshare-based payment transactions

Share options granted to employees (including directors)

Equity-settledshare-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at grant date.

The fair value of the equity-settledshare-based payments determined at the grant date without taking into consideration all non-market vesting condition is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Target Group's estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity (share-based compensation reserve). At the end of each reporting period, the Target Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest based on assessment of all relevant non-market vesting conditions. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to share-based compensation reserve. For share options that vest immediately at the date of grant, the fair value of the share options granted is expensed immediately to profit or loss.

When share options are exercised, the amount previously recognised in the share-based compensation reserve will be transferred to share capital and share premium. When the share options are forfeited/cancelled after the vesting date or are still not exercised at the expiry date, the amount previously recognised in share-based compensation reserve will be transferred to accumulated losses.

Share options granted to consultants

Equity-settledshare-based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair value of services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the counterparty renders the service. The fair values of the services received are recognised as expenses (unless the services qualify for recognition as assets).

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

Critical judgments in applying accounting policies

The following are the critical judgments, apart from those involving estimations (see below), that the SA Directors have made in the process of applying the Target Group's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

Determination on lease term of contracts with renewal options

The Target Group applies judgement to determine the lease term for lease contracts in which it is a lessee that include renewal option. The assessment of whether the Target Group is reasonably certain to exercise such options impacts the lease term, which significantly affects the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognised. The lease on land plots from a third party was originally with a lease term of 14 years. Taking into account the Russian legislation and legal advice, the management expected that the lease terms could be extended upon expiry to match the estimated useful life of the buildings on the land plot of 30 years.

- II-25 -

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUMMIT ASCENT

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next twelve months.

Provision of ECL for trade receivables

The Target Group applies the HKFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring ECL, using a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. The Target Group determines the allowance based on specific customer information, historical experience with the customer, current industry and economic data and an assessment of both the current conditions at the reporting date as well as the forecast of future conditions. A provision of ECL for trade receivables is recorded when the Target Group believes it is probable the recoverable amount of the receivables will be less than their carrying amounts.

The provision of ECL is sensitive to changes in estimates. The information about the Target Group's trade receivables and the ECL are disclosed in notes 22 and 31 respectively.

Useful lives and depreciation and impairment of property, operating right and equipment and right-of-use assets

The Target Group determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation charges for its property, operating right and equipment. This estimate is based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives of property, operating right and equipment of similar nature and functions. Management will increase the depreciation charge where useful lives are expected to be shorter than previously estimated, or it will write-off or write-down obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold. The property of the Target Group mainly comprises a hotel and entertainment complex, which is situated on land plots in the Russian Federation with a lease term of 14 years. Taking into account the Russian legislation and legal advice, the management expected that the lease terms could be renewed upon expiry of the relevant lease or the land plots could be acquired by the Target Group at a minimal consideration if the land lease is not extended, to match with the estimated useful lives of the buildings of 30 years.

Property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets are stated at costs less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. In determining whether an asset is impaired, the Target Group has to exercise judgment and make estimation, particularly in assessing: (1) whether an event has occurred or any indicators that may affect the asset value; (2) whether the carrying value of an asset can be supported by the recoverable amount, in the case of value in use, the net present value of future cash flows which are estimated based upon the continued use of the asset; and (3) the appropriate key assumptions including budgeted revenue taking into account future development of the Tigre de Cristal and pre-tax discount rate of 19.11%, to be applied in estimating the recoverable amounts including cash flow projections and an appropriate discount rate. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset (including right-of-use assets), the Target Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the assets belongs. Changing the assumptions and estimates, including the discount rates or the growth rate in the cash flow projections, could materially affect the net present value used in the impairment test.

As a result of the changes in the current economic environment related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Target Group is experiencing decreased revenues that indicate that the relevant property, operating right and equipment may be impaired. For the three months ended 31 March 2020, the Target Group performed impairment testing and concluded that no impairment loss should be recognised (31 December 2019: Nil).

As at 31 March 2020, the carrying amount of property, operating right and equipment and right-of-use assets was HK$1,403,864,000 and HK$6,193,000 (31 December 2019: HK$1,408,519,000 and HK$6,782,000), net of accumulated depreciation and amortisation of HK$409,554,000 and HK$2,947,000 (31 December 2019: HK$388,722,000 and HK$2,358,000).

8. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The operating segments are identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Target Group that are regularly reviewed by the Target Company's Deputy Chairman and Executive Director, being the chief operating decision maker, for the purpose of allocating resources to segments and assessing their performance.

The Target Group operates only in one operating and reportable segment, i.e. the gaming and hotel operations. Single management report for the gaming and hotel business is reviewed by the Target Company's Deputy Chairman and Executive Director who allocates resources and assesses performance based on the consolidated financial information for the entire business. Accordingly, the Target Group does not present separate segment information other than entity-wide disclosures.

During the periods ended 31 March 2020 and 2019, all revenues are derived from customers patronising in the Target Group's property located in the Russian Federation. At 31 March 2020 and 31 December 2019, almost all non-current assets of the Target Group are located in the Russian Federation.

12. INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Under the two-tiered profits tax rates regime in Hong Kong, the first HK$2 million of profits of the qualifying group entity is taxed at 8.25%, and profits above HK$2 million is taxed at 16.5%. The profits of group entities not qualifying for the two-tiered profits tax rates regime continues to be taxed at a flat rate of 16.5%.

Hong Kong Profits Tax is calculated at 16.5% of the estimated assessable profit for both periods as the SA Directors considered the amount involved in the two-tiered profits tax rates regime is insignificant to the consolidated financial information of the Target Group.

Russian corporation tax is calculated at a rate of 20% of the estimated assessable profit for both periods; however, no Russian corporation tax is levied on the Target Group's gaming activities in the Russian Federation in accordance with Russian legislation.

Russian tax, currency and customs legislation are subject to varying interpretation and changes, which can occur frequently.

Management's interpretation of such legislation as applied to the transactions and activities of the Target Group may be challenged by the relevant regional and federal authorities, in particular, the way of accounting for tax purposes of some income and expenses of the Target Group as well as deductibility of input VAT from suppliers and contractors. Tax authorities may be taking a more assertive position in their interpretation of the legislation and assessments. As a result, significant additional taxes, penalties and interest may arise. Fiscal periods remain open to be reviewed by the authorities in respect of taxes are three calendar years preceding the year of review. Under certain circumstances such review may cover longer periods.

No deferred tax assets have been recognised on such tax losses for both periods due to the unpredictability of future profit streams. All losses may be carried forward indefinitely.

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUMMIT ASCENT

Operating right represents the right to conduct business in the IEZ Primorye, one of the five integrated entertainment zones in the Russian Federation for gaming activities. Although the right was awarded by the Administration of the Primorye Region, the Russian Federation for an indefinite period, the SA Directors determine its estimated useful life as 30 years and accordingly, the right is amortised over 30 years. The building mainly includes the hotel and entertainment complex situated on land plots from a third party with a lease term of 14 years. Taking into account the Russian legislation and a legal opinion as advised by an external legal counsel, the management expected that the lease terms could be renewed upon expiry or the land plots could be acquired by the Target Group if the land lease is not extended, to reflect the estimated useful life of the buildings of 30 years.

The above items of property, operating right and equipment, except for construction in progress, are depreciated on a straight-line basis at the following rates per annum:

For the three months ended 31 March 2020 and 2019, the Target Group leases various leasehold lands, office and warehouse for its operations. Lease contracts are entered into for fixed term of 1 year to 14 years, but may have extension and termination options as described below. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. In determining the lease term and assessing the length of the non-cancellable period, the Target Group applies the definition of a contract and determines the period for which the contract is enforceable.

- II-35 -

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUMMIT ASCENT

Extension and termination options

The Target Group has extension options in the lease for one of the leasehold lands. This is used to maximise operational flexibility in terms of managing the assets used in the Target Group's operations. The extension option held is exercisable only by the Target Group and not by the respective lessor. The lease on land plots under a medium-term lease from a third party was originally with a lease term of 14 years. Taking into account the Russian legislation and legal advice, the management expected that the lease terms could be extended upon expiry to match the estimated useful life of the buildings on the land plot of 30 years.

The Target Group assesses at lease commencement date whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the extension options or not to exercise the termination options. The potential exposures to these future lease payments for (i) extension options in which the Target Group is not reasonably certain to exercise and (ii) termination options in which the Target Group is not reasonably certain not to exercise is summarised below:

In addition, the Target Group reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option, upon the occurrence of either a significant event or a significant change in circumstances that is within the control of the lessee. During the three months ended 31 March 2020, there was no such triggering event.

Note: This includes an amount due from an employee of a substantial shareholder of the Target Company amounting to HK$40,090,000 (31 December 2019: HK$21,003,000) and represents the sum collected from patrons on behalf of the Target Group. They are unsecured, interest bearing and repayable on demand. The amount has been fully settled subsequent to 31 March 2020.

As at 1 January 2019, trade receivables from contracts with customers amounted to HK$29,852,000.

Trade receivables as at 31 March 2020 and 31 December 2019 mainly represent outstanding amounts pending settlements by customers which are usually repaid within 44 days (31 December 2019: 16 days) after each trip to the Target Group's gaming property. The Target Group provides short-term temporary credit to approved customers following background checks and credit risk assessments of these customers.

All trade receivables as at 31 March 2020 and 31 December 2019 were aged within 30 days based on the revenue recognition date, at the end of the reporting period.

All of the Target Group's trade receivables as at 31 March 2020 and 31 December 2019 were within their credit terms with no default history and neither past due nor impaired.

Trade receivables from patrons as at 31 March 2020 and 31 December 2019 were assessed individually. There were no impairment allowance as at 31 March 2020 and 31 December 2019. For other trade receivables, the Target Group assessed the expected credit losses collectively based on the provision matrix as at 31 March 2020 and 31 December 2019. No impairment allowance was provided due to the low probability of default of those receivables based on the short credit period and the fact that the customers are still active in the Target Group's property located in the Russian Federation.

Allowance of HK$599,000 and HK$599,000 as at 31 March 2020 and 31 December 2019 respectively represented individually impaired prepayments and other receivables that the SA Directors considered uncollectible.

Further details of impairment assessment of trade and other receivables for the period/year are set out in note 31.

23. BANK BALANCES AND CASH

Bank balances carry interest at market rates which ranges from 0.001% to 2.25% (31 December 2019: 0.001% to 2.40%) per annum.

26. LOANS FROM NON-CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDERS OF A SUBSIDIARY

On 15 July 2014, each of the shareholders of Oriental Regent Limited ("Oriental Regent"), the then joint venture of the Target Group which the Target Group has obtained control during the year ended 31 December 2016, entered into a loan agreement with Oriental Regent whilst they agreed to provide their pro rata proportion of the additional capital amount of US$137,691,000 (equivalent to HK$1,071,236,000) in total as required by Oriental Regent to continue to fund the gaming and resort project in the Russian Federation by way of ordinary shareholder convertible loan (the "Loan") as contemplated under the investment and shareholders agreement dated 23 August 2013. A total of HK$428,494,000 was contributed by the other shareholders of Oriental Regent. The Loan is non-interest bearing, unsecured and due to mature after 3 years from the date of the agreement, which shall automatically renew for another term of three years. No repayment at all time shall be made by Oriental Regent unless there are sufficient free cash flows generated from its operations to make the repayment. The Loan can only be converted into new shares of Oriental Regent at the option of Oriental Regent at such conversion price(s) and ratio(s) as Oriental Regent shall agree with the shareholders of Oriental Regent at the relevant time. The conversion period is from the date on which the payment for the entire principal amount of the Loan was made by the shareholders to the day immediately prior to the repayment date. The loan is discounted at an effective interest rate calculated at 11.28% per annum at inception.

27. LIABILITIES FOR VAT ARRANGEMENTS

In the relevant jurisdiction of the Russian Federation, G1 Entertainment is entitled to deduct VAT liabilities ("Output VAT") against VAT which was previously paid to the tax authority in the Russian Federation for the construction and purchase of assets or services for the gaming and hotel operations ("Input VAT"). Input VAT arising from the construction and the purchase of property and equipment is refunded by the relevant tax authority within 4 months after the application.

However, according to Russian regulations, as gaming activities are not subject to Output VAT in the Russian Federation, the Input VAT refunded to the Target Group cannot be utilised. Instead it is required to be divided into 10 equal parts and each has to be returned to the tax authority in each of the next 10 years from the first year of operations to the extent of the annual proportion of the revenue generated from the gaming activities over the total revenues of the Target Group's gaming and hotel operations in the Russian Federation. Such assessment is performed on an annual basis over a period of 10 years from the year when the relevant VAT is refunded to the Target Group. Against this, a provision of RUB359,910,000 (approximately HK$36,300,000) (31 December 2019: RUB436,211,000 (approximately HK$55,244,000)) is recognised for the estimated amount of the relevant Input VAT that has been refunded to the Target Group but has to be returned to the tax authority under this regulation. The estimated repayable amount to the tax authority is calculated by using an effective interest rate of 8.47% (2019:

8.47%) per annum. Accordingly, approximately RUB62,292,000 (approximately HK$6,283,000) (31 December 2019: RUB83,721,000 (approximately HK$10,603,000)) of such provision is presented as current and included in other payables (Note

  1. as such amount is under the aforesaid assessment within the next twelve months and is expected to be returned to the tax authority upon final assessment, with the remainder of RUB297,618,000 (approximately HK$30,017,000) (31 December 2019: RUB352,490,000 (approximately HK$44,641,000)) presented as non-current.

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUMMIT ASCENT

On 25 July 2019, the Target Company entered into a shares placing agreement ("Placing Agreement") with a securities firm ("Placing Agent") pursuant to which the Target Company conditionally agreed to place, through the Placing Agent on a best efforts basis, up to 300,000,000 new shares ("Placing Share(s)") of the Target Company of HK$0.025 each at a price of HK$1.01 per Placing Share to not less than six investors who are independent third parties (the "Placing"), pursuant to the general mandate granted to the SA Directors at the 2019 annual general meeting of the Target Company. Further details of the Placing are set out in the Target Company's announcement dated 25 July 2019.

Completion of the Placing took place on 19 August 2019 pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Placing Agreement. The 300,000,000 Placing Shares represent approximately 19.95% and 16.63% of the issued share capital of the Target Company immediately before and after the completion of the Placing. The net proceeds of the Placing are approximately HK$296,633,000. Proceeds of HK$7,500,000, representing the par value of the shares issued, were credited to the share capital of the Target Company and the remaining proceeds of HK$289,133,000 net of share issue expense were credited to the share premium account.

29. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS

Equity-settled share option scheme of the Target Company:

Pursuant to an extraordinary general meeting held on 7 July 2011, the shareholders of the Target Company approved the adoption of a new share option scheme (the "Scheme") and the termination of the previous share option scheme adopted on 11 July 2002.

Under the Scheme, the SA Directors may, at their discretion, grant to any directors, executives and employees of any members of the Target Group and consultants, professional and other advisors to any members of the Target Group (the "Participant(s)") share options to subscribe for the shares, subject to the terms and conditions stipulated therein. The purpose of the Scheme is to recognise the contribution of the Participants who have made or may make to the Target Company, to provide them with the opportunity to acquire proprietary interests in the Target Company and to encourage them to work towards enhancing the value of the Target Company and its shares for the benefit of the Target Company and its shareholders as a whole.

The maximum number of shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the Scheme (and under any other scheme of the Target Company) shall not in aggregate exceed 10% of the shares in issue as at the date of the adoption of the Scheme, provided that the Target Company seeks approval from shareholders to refresh such limit. Moreover, the maximum number of shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the Scheme (and under any other scheme of the Target Company) shall not exceed 30% of the shares in issue from time to time. The maximum entitlement of each Participant under the Scheme in any 12-month period is 1% of the shares in issue from time to time.

As at 31 March 2020, the number of shares in respect of the options granted and remained outstanding under the Scheme was 22,514,000 (31 December 2019: 32,714,000), representing 1.25% (31 December 2019: 1.81%) of the total number of issued shares of the Target Company.

The period within which an option may be exercised will be determined by the SA Directors at its absolute discretion but no option may be exercised later than 10 years from the date on which the option is granted. The minimum period for which an option must be held before it can be exercised is determined by the SA Directors upon the grant of an option.

The amount payable on acceptance of an option is HK$1. The exercise price is determined by the SA Directors, and will not be less than the higher of (i) the closing price of the Target Company's shares on the date of grant, (ii) the average closing price of the shares for the five business days immediately preceding the date of grant; and (iii) the nominal value of the Target Company's share. The Scheme will be valid and effective for a period of ten years from the adoption date until 6 July 2021.

Notes:

  1. The vesting period of the share options is from the date of grant until the commencement of the exercise period. Once vested, each option gives the holder of the right to subscribe for one ordinary share of the Target Company.
  2. On 1 September 2016, (1) a total of 9,404,000 share options (the "Previously Granted Options") granted by the Target Company on 9 December 2014 to its employees and consultants (the "Grantees") under the Scheme, which had not been exercised or lapsed since they were granted, were cancelled; and (2) a total of 9,404,000 new share options (the "Replacement Share Options") were granted to the Grantees under the Scheme in replacement of the Previously Granted Options.
    The Replacement Share Options are treated as modified options since the terms of such options were modified by changing the exercise period and reducing the exercise prices of the Previously Granted Options from HK$4.218 to HK$1.99.
    The Replacement Share Options granted on 1 September 2016 are divided into 2 tranches exercisable from 1 September 2016 and 1 September 2017 respectively to 31 August 2021.

30. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Target Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Target Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Target Group's overall strategy remain unchanged from prior year.

The capital structure of the Target Group consists of cash and cash equivalents, net of debts (which include loans from non-controlling shareholders of a subsidiary disclosed in note 26) and equity attributable to owners of the Target Company, comprising issued share capital and reserves.

The SA Directors review the capital structure on a regular basis. As part of this review, the SA Directors consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the SA Directors, the Target Group will balance its overall capital structure through raising of new capital as well as the issue of new debt and shares or the redemption of existing debt and shares.

The Target Group's major financial instruments include bank balances and cash, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, lease liabilities and loans from non-controlling shareholders of a subsidiary. Details of the financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments include market risk (currency risk and 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 that appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

Market risk

  1. Currency risk

Certain bank balances, receivables and payables of the Target Group are denominated in foreign currencies and certain subsidiaries of the Target Company have foreign currency revenue and purchases, which expose the Target Group to foreign currency risk. Approximately 60% of the Target Group's gross revenue before rebate are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Target Group entity making the revenue for the three months ended 31 March 2020 (for the year ended 31 December 2019: 48%). The Target Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy. However, the SA Directors monitor foreign exchange exposure by closely monitoring the movement of foreign currency rates and will consider hedging significant foreign exposure should the need arise.

Sensitivity analysis

The Target Group is mainly exposed to RUB against HK$, the functional currency of the relevant group entity.

Considering the HK$ is pegged with the US$, management is of the opinion that the currency exposure arising from these transactions is not significant to the Target Group. As a result, the profit and equity of the Target Group are unlikely to be materially sensitive to movement in HK$/US$ exchange rates.

The following table details the Target Group's sensitivity to a 30% (31 December 2019: 30%) increase and decrease in HK$ against the relevant foreign currency. 30% (31 December 2019: 30%) is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the end of the reporting period for a 30% (31 December 2019: 30%) change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in post-tax profit for the period/year where RUB strengthen 30% (31 December 2019: 30%) against HK$. For a 30% (31 December 2019: 30%) weakening of RUB against HK$, there would be an equal and opposite impact on the profit and equity and balances below would be negative.

  1. Interest rate risk

The Target Group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to variable rate bank balances. The management considers the cash flow interest rate risk in relation to variable-rate bank balances is insignificant and therefore no sensitivity analysis on such risk has been prepared.

- II-43 -

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUMMIT ASCENT

Credit risk and impairment assessment

As at 31 March 2020 and 31 December 2019, the financial assets' carrying amounts best represent the maximum exposure to credit risk.

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 end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the SA Directors consider that the Target Group's credit risk is significantly reduced.

As part of the Target Group's credit risk management, the Target Group uses debtors' aging to assess the impairment for other receivable because these consist of a large number of miscellaneous receivables with common risk characteristics that are representative of the counterparties' abilities to pay all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms. Debtors with significant outstanding balances or credit-impaired as at 31 December 2019 and 31 March 2020 were assessed individually.

The SA Directors have also assessed all available forward looking information, including but not limited to expected growth rate of the industry and changes in regulatory and economic environment, and concluded that there is no significant increase in credit risk.

There were no impairment allowance during the three months ended 31 March 2020 and 31 March 2019 for debtors that were assessed individually. Allowance for other receivables of HK$599,000 (31 December 2019: HK$599,000) represents certain amounts that the SA Directors considered uncollectible. For the amount due from an employee of a substantial shareholder of the Target Company, the SA Directors of make periodic individual assessment on the recoverability of the amount based on historical settlement records, past experience, and supportive forward-looking information. The SA Directors assessed the ECL for the amount are insignificant and thus no loss allowance was recognised.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. Based on the average loss rates, the 12m ECL on bank balances is considered to be insignificant.

Other than concentration of credit risk on liquid funds which are deposited with banks with good reputation, the Target Group does not have any other significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a number of counterparties.

Liquidity risk

In the management of the 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 following table details the Target Group's remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Target Group can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

The Target Group participates in the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme ("MPF Scheme") established under the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance in December 2000. The assets of the schemes are held separately from those of the Target Group in funds under the control of trustees.

For members of the MPF Scheme, the Target Group contributes 5% of the relevant payroll costs to the MPF Scheme subject only to the maximum level of payroll costs of HK$30,000 per employee, which contribution is matched by the employees.

Russian Federation

The Target Group is required to contribute for the range of 0% to 30% of payroll costs to the Russian Federation State Pension Fund depending on the annual gross remuneration of the staff, to fund the benefits. The only obligation of the Target Group with respect to the retirement benefit scheme is to make the specified contributions.

The total expense recognised in profit or loss of HK$8,412,000 for the three months ended 31 March 2020 (for the three months 31 March 2019 (unaudited): HK$7,693,000) represented contributions paid or payable to the plans by the Target Group at rates specified in the rules of the plans.

At 31 March 2020 and 31 March 2019, there were no forfeited contributions which arose upon employees leaving the retirement plans and which are available to reduce the contributions payable in the future years.

On 1 June 2020, the Target Group announced the proposal to raise not less than approximately HK$1,623.40 million before expenses and not more than approximately HK$1,641.70 million before expenses by the rights issue on the basis of three (3) rights shares for every two (2) shares held at the subscription price of HK$0.6 per rights share.

In addition, on 1 June 2020, Summit Ascent Investments Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Target Company (the "Subscriber") and Suntrust Home Developers, Inc.

APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

A. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

On 1 June 2020, Summit Ascent Holdings Limited ("Summit Ascent"), an associate of Suncity Group Holdings Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group"), of which shares are listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange, proposed to raise not less than approximately HK$1,623.40 million before expenses and not more than approximately HK$1,641.70 million before expenses by issuing rights shares on the basis of three rights shares for every two shares at the subscription price of HK$0.6 per rights share (the "SA Rights Issue").

On the same date, the Group entered into an irrevocable undertaking ("Irrevocable Undertaking") with Summit Ascent that it will accept and pay for 669,462,696 rights shares to be provisionally allotted to the Group under the SA Rights Issue and the Group, through its direct wholly owned subsidiary, namely Victor Sky Holdings Limited ("Victor Sky"), entered into an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with Summit Ascent to underwrite a maximum amount of 2,066,705,058 rights shares (the "Underwritten Shares"). If the Underwriting Agreement becomes unconditional, not otherwise terminated by Victor Sky in accordance with its terms and Victor Sky is required to take up all the Underwritten Shares, Summit Ascent will become an indirect subsidiary of the Company as the Company and Victor Sky, in aggregate, will be interested in approximately 69.78% interest in Summit Ascent (assuming all outstanding share options (other than those held by two independent non-executive SA Directors) granted by Summit Ascent pursuant to the SA Share Option Scheme are exercised in full on or prior to the record date of the SA Rights Issue) or 69.89% (assuming no share options granted by Summit Ascent pursuant to the SA Share Option Scheme are exercised prior to the record date of the SA Rights Issue). Summit Ascent will be accounted for as a subsidiary of the Company in that case and its financial results will be consolidated in the consolidated financial statements of the Company (the "Acquisition") since then.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group"), together with Summit Ascent in respect of the Acquisition (collectively referred to as the "Enlarged Group") ("Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information") is prepared by the directors of the Company ("Directors") in accordance with Rule 4.29 of the Listing Rules to illustrate the financial effect of the Acquisition on the Enlarged Group as if the Acquisition had been completed on 31 December 2019.

The Acquisition will be financed by a loan facility agreement signed with Star Hope Limited ("Star Hope"), a company wholly owned by a controlling shareholder of the Company, on 21 May 2020, under which Star Hope will provide an unconditional loan facility up to HK$1,650 million (equivalent to approximately RMB1,478.07 million) (the "Loan Facility"). Although the availability of the Loan Facility is not a condition precedent under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the following Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information reflects the drawdown of the Loan Facility to finance the Acquisition because the directors of the Company consider that it reflects a more complete picture of the transaction for investors to understand the effect of the Acquisition.

- III-1 -

APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information is prepared based on (i) the audited consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2019, which has been extracted from published annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2019; (ii) the audited consolidated statement of financial position of Summit Ascent as at 31 March 2020, which has been extracted from the accountants' report of Summit Ascent as set out in Appendix II to this circular, and adjusted in accordance with the pro forma adjustments relating to the Acquisition, as if the Acquisition had been completed on 31 December 2019.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information is prepared based on a number of assumptions, estimates, uncertainties and currently available information. Accordingly, because of its hypothetical nature, it may not give a true picture of the financial position of the Enlarged Group upon completion of the Acquisition as at 31 December 2019 or at any future date.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial information of the Group set out in the published annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2019 and other financial information included elsewhere in this circular.

issued shares of Summit Ascent. Total proceeds from the SA Rights Issue to be received by Summit Ascent would be HK$1,623.40 million (equivalent to approximately RMB1,454.24 million), calculated at the subscription price of HK$0.6 per SA rights share.

The identifiable assets and liabilities of Summit Ascent will be accounted for in the consolidated financial statements of the Enlarged Group at their fair value at the date of completion of the Acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard 3 (Revised) "Business Combination". For the purpose of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the Directors have estimated the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Summit Ascent based on the assumption that the Acquisition was completed on 31 December 2019.

The adjustment represents (i) the recognition of fair value adjustments on property, operating right and equipment; (ii) de-recognition of investments in Summit Ascent previously held by the Group; and (iii) recognition of the pro forma gain arising from the bargain purchase on the Acquisition, as if the Acquisition had been completed on 31 December 2019. These adjustments are not expected to have a continuing effect on the Enlarged Group.

APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

Notes:

  1. The amounts represent net identifiable assets attributable to owners of Summit Ascent as at 31 March 2020 extracted from the accountants' report of Summit Ascent as set out in the Appendix II to the circular and translated into RMB, the presentation currency of the Enlarged Group using the exchange rate mentioned in note 2. For the purpose of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, it is assumed that the fair value of the net identifiable assets of Summit Ascent approximates their carrying values as at 31 March 2020, except for property, operating right and equipment is adjusted with the fair value adjustments calculated as if the Acquisition had been completed on 31 December 2019, details of which are set out in note (b) below. The fair value of the net identifiable assets of Summit Ascent being acquired is subject to changes upon completion of the Acquisition because the fair value being acquired shall be assessed at the date of the actual completion of the Acquisition.
  2. The estimated fair value of the property, operating right and equipment was based on the independent valuation report prepared by an independent professional qualified valuer, Jones Lang LaSalle Corporate Appraisal and Advisory Limited, as if the Acquisition had been completed on 31 December 2019.
    For the purpose of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the Group's management considers that there is no impairment indicator as at 31 December 2019 in respect of the property, operating right and equipment in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 36 "Impairment of Assets" ("HKAS 36"). The Directors confirmed that they will assess impairment of property, plant and equipment in subsequent reporting periods in accordance with the requirements of HKAS 36 if there is any impairment indicator.
  3. The amount represents the aggregate consideration for the subscription of 2,036,204,058 SA rights shares pursuant to the Irrevocable Undertaking and the Underwriting Agreement to be received by Summit Ascent.
  4. The Group held 446,308,464 shares of Summit Ascent as at 31 December 2019 and at the Latest Practicable Date, representing 24.74% equity interest in Summit Ascent. For the purpose of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the fair value of equity interest in Summit Ascent previously held by the Group is based on the closing share price of Summit Ascent of HK$1.09 on 31 December 2019. The closing share price of Summit Ascent of on 31 December 2019 used for the purpose of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information is solely for the sake of convenience and is not a market price of Summit Ascent that reflect effect of the SA Rights Issue.
  5. The adjustment represents the gain arising from the bargain purchase on the Acquisition provisionally determined based on the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Summit Ascent, the fair value of equity interest in Summit Ascent previously held by the Group and the consideration on the completion date. For the purpose of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, bargain purchase on the Acquisition, which represents the amount by which the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Summit Ascent to be acquired exceeds the fair value of consideration transferred, as if the Acquisition had been completed on 31 December 2019. The amount of bargain purchase is subject to re-assessment and change based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Summit Ascent and the fair value of equity interest in Summit Ascent previously held by the Group, being finalised on the date of actual completion of the Acquisition.
    The amounts of the bargain purchase, the fair value of equity interest in Summit Ascent previously held by the Group, property, operating right and equipment and the related impairment assessment are subject to change upon actual completion of the Acquisition due to the fair value assessment of the net assets, which may differ materially from the amounts disclosed above.

APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

5. The adjustment represents the consolidation adjustments to derecognise the previously held equity interest in Summit Ascent and recognise the pro forma loss on derecognition of the previously held equity interest in Summit Ascent as if the Acquisition had been taken place on 31 December 2019. The adjustment is not expected to have a continuing effect on the Enlarged Group.

Note: The Group held 446,308,464 shares of Summit Ascent as at 31 December 2019 and at the Latest Practicable Date, representing 24.74% equity interest in Summit Ascent. For the purpose of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the fair value of equity interest in Summit Ascent held by the Group for calculation of pro forma loss on derecognition of the previously held equity interest in Summit Ascent, the Directors adopted the closing share price of Summit Ascent of HK$1.09 on 31 December 2019. The closing share price of Summit Ascent of on 31 December 2019 used for the purpose of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information is solely for the sake of convenience and is not a market price of Summit Ascent that reflect effect of the SA Rights Issue.

Since the fair value of Summit Ascent on the date of actual completion of the Acquisition may be different from the amount used when preparing the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group, the loss on de recognition of the previously held equity interest in Summit Ascent is for illustrative purpose only and subject to change upon actual completion of the Acquisition.

6. No adjustment has been made to reflect the transaction costs of the Acquisition since the Directors considered the amount involved will not be significant. The total transaction costs, including legal, valuation, accountancy and other professional services are estimated to be approximately RMB6,500,000. The expenses are charged to profit or loss directly and settled by cash.

The following is the text of a report on the unaudited financial information of the Enlarged Group, prepared for the sole purpose of inclusion in this circular, received from the reporting accountant, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, Certified Public Accountants, Hong Kong.

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS' ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

TO THE DIRECTORS OF SUNCITY GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of unaudited pro forma financial information of Suncity Group Holdings Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Group") by the directors of the Company (the "Directors") for illustrative purposes only. The unaudited pro forma financial information consists of the unaudited pro forma statement of assets and liabilities as at 31 December 2019 and related notes as set out on pages III-3 to III-9 of the circular issued by the Company dated 12 August 2020 (the "Circular"). The applicable criteria on the basis of which the Directors have compiled the unaudited pro forma financial information are described on pages III-1 to III-2 of the Circular.

The unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled by the Directors to illustrate the impact of the Group's proposed major acquisition of Summit Ascent Holdings Limited (the "Proposed Transaction") on the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2019 as if the Proposed Transaction had taken place at 31 December 2019. As part of this process, information about the Group's financial position has been extracted by the Directors from the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, on which an auditor's report has been published.

Directors' Responsibilities for the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The Directors are responsible for compiling the unaudited pro forma financial information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules") and with reference to Accounting Guideline 7 "Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars" ("AG 7") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the "HKICPA").

Our Independence and Quality Control

The purpose of unaudited pro forma financial information included in an investment circular is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant event or transaction on unadjusted financial information of the Group as if the event had occurred or the transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the event or transaction at 31 December 2019 would have been as presented.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the unaudited pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the Directors in the compilation of the unaudited pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

  • the related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and
  • the unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.

- III-11 -

Below is the management discussion and analysis of Summit Ascent Q1 2020.

Business Review

The gaming and hotel operations of Summit Ascent and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "SA Group") are conducted through its 60% equity interest in Oriental Regent Limited ("Oriental Regent"). The SA Group also receives a management fee income calculated at 3% of the total gaming revenue, net of rebates, generated by G1 Entertainment Limited Liability Company ("G1 Entertainment"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oriental Regent.

- IV-1 -

APPENDIX IV

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF SUMMIT ASCENT

G1 Entertainment holds a gaming license granted by the Russian government for an indefinite period and the development rights on two adjacent parcels of land, namely Lot 9 and Lot 10, in the Integrated Entertainment Zone of the Primorye Region ("IEZ Primorye") of the Russian Far East, being the largest of five designated zones in the Russian Federation where gaming and casino activities are legally permitted. The first gaming and hotel property, known as Tigre de Cristal, is built on Lot 9 and opened for business in the fourth quarter of 2015. Due to the recent changes in our substantial shareholders, we are currently refining the design and construction elements of our Phase II project on Lot 10.

Tigre de Cristal is currently the only casino, hotel and entertainment destination operating in the IEZ Primorye. We continuously strive to enhance our property and the current features of Tigre de Cristal are as follows:

  • Approximately 36,000 square meters of gaming and hotel space, offering a broad range of gaming options 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year;
  • The finest luxury hotel in the Russian Far East with 121 rooms and suites;
  • Casual and fine dining in 2 restaurants and 3 bars;
  • Virtual golf zone, and a soon to be opened private club with karaoke rooms;
  • A convenience store and a Tigre de Cristal branded shop; and
  • A high-end diamond and luxury watch boutique "DOMINO" and a Montblanc outlet.

Additional amenities to be added later this year include a hotel extension with 34 new rooms, new VIP gaming rooms, a stand-alone noodle bar, and a new hot pot section in our existing Pan-Asian restaurant.

Since October 2017, Tigre de Cristal has been certified as a 5-star hotel. The property was also named "Russia's Leading Resort 2018" at the Europe Gala Ceremony 2018 and one of the Top 5 nominees of "Russia's Leading Resort 2019" organised by World Travel Awards.

Change of director

During the first quarter of 2020, we had the following change to Summit Ascent's board of directors:

Mr. Eric Daniel Landheer has resigned as an executive director of Summit Ascent with effect from 23 March 2020.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF SUMMIT ASCENT

Financial Review

Segment Information

SA Group operates only in one operating and reportable segment, i.e. the gaming and hotel operations in the IEZ Primorye of the Russian Far East. Accordingly, SA Group does not present separate segment information other than entity-wide disclosures.

Adjusted Property EBITDA of Tigre de Cristal

Adjusted Property EBITDA generated by Oriental Regent, a 60% owned subsidiary of Summit Ascent operating our integrated resort in the Russian Far East, Tigre de Cristal, is used by management as the primary measure of operating performance of our gaming and hotel operations. Adjusted Property EBITDA, which is a non-IFRS financial measure and defined as net income before management fee payable to Summit Ascent, company corporate expenses, unrealised exchange differences, interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortisation, was HK$9.7 million in Q1 2020, down 83% compared to HK$58.1 million in the three months ended 31 March 2019 ("Q1 2019" ).

Adjusted Property EBITDA margin (represented the ratio of Adjusted Property EBITDA to total revenue) also dropped to 10.6% in Q1 2020, versus 44.0% in Q1 2019.

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 ("COVID-19") continues to affect everyone across the globe, by putting many businesses under considerable pressure which is leading to the closure of businesses and loss of employment. The hospitality and gaming sector has not been immune from the effects of COVID-19. Indeed, the gaming business, which thrives on air travel and large groups of people in close proximity, is one of the hardest hit as the world goes into lockdown. Physical barriers such as cross-border travel restrictions (inter-provincial or international), much more limited transportation options (in particular, via airlines, but also for cruise ships and buses) and quarantine requirements for customers traveling to or from Vladivostok, the Russian Far East, already are and will continue to, make it extremely difficult for customers to visit our property as easily as they once could.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Adjusted Property EBITDA to the reported loss for the period attributable to owners of Summit Ascent as per the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for Q1 2020.

The slot business recorded revenue of HK$39 million, down 7% compared to HK$42 million in Q1 2019. The average hold percentage decreased slightly to 5.0% in Q1 2020 from 5.1% in Q1 2019. The average number of slots deployed decreased by 2% to 317 in Q1 2020.

Non-gaming Revenues

Revenue from hotel operations, which is largely dependent on foreign guests, decreased to HK$3.6 million or by 63% compared to Q1 2019. Average hotel occupancy rates were maintained at 20% (Q1 2019: 85%) during weekends and 26% (Q1 2019: 60%) during weekdays in Q1 2020.

Operating Expenses of SA Group

SA Group continued to maintain stringent cost controls and streamline our operations during the period. Total operating costs, including inventories consumed, marketing and promotion expenses, employee benefits expenses and other expenses but excluding non-cash items like depreciation and amortisation.

Depreciation and Amortisation

Depreciation and amortisation of SA Group decreased by 1% to HK$22.5 million in Q1 2020 as compared to HK$22.8 million for Q1 2019. The decrease was primarily due to some assets, which were depreciated over a three-year time period, having become fully depreciated as Tigre de Cristal has been operating for more than three years.

Finance Costs

Finance costs of SA Group were HK$7.4 million in 2020, a decrease of 12% compared to HK$8.4 million for Q1 2019. These costs were primarily comprised non-cash imputed interest by applying the effective notional interest rate on the interest-free loans payable to non-controlling shareholders of Oriental Regent. The decrease in imputed interest was due to the continuous repayments to the shareholders of Oriental Regent by using internally generated cash flows.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF SUMMIT ASCENT

Gaming Tax

Unlike in Macau and most other jurisdictions in Asia, gaming tax in the Russian Federation is not levied on a percentage of gaming revenue. The Russian Federation has established a gaming tax regime which is based on a fixed levy on each gaming table and gaming machine deployed in a particular calendar month in the casino. Gaming taxes are payable to the local governments, who can set their own tax rate based on a range stipulated by the Tax Code of the Russian Federation as follows:

Minimum

Maximum

(RUB)

(RUB)

Each gaming table

50,000

250,000

Each gaming machine

3,000

15,000

In Q1 2020, the monthly rates per gaming table and per gaming machine applicable to SA Group were RUB125,000 and RUB7,500 respectively, resulting in total gaming tax of approximately HK$2.9 million (Q1 2019: HK$3.5 million) which corresponded to 3.3% of SA Group's net gaming revenue for Q1 2020 (Q1 2019: 2.9%).

Income Tax Expense

No provision for taxation in Hong Kong has been made as SA Group has no assessable profit for the period. As at 31 March 2020, SA Group had unused tax losses of HK$31.0 million (as at 31 March 2019: HK$30.1 million) available under Hong Kong Profits Tax for offset against future profits.

G1 Entertainment has an exemption from the Russian corporate tax on profit generated from gaming operations. As for non-gaming revenues, SA Group's subsidiaries in the Russian Federation are subject to the Russian corporate tax rate which currently stands at 20%.

As at 31 March 2020, SA Group had unused tax losses of HK$537.9 million (31 March 2019: HK$522.3 million) available under Russian corporate tax and all losses may be carried forward indefinitely. SA Group believes that these unrecognised tax losses are adequate to offset any adjustments related to uncertain tax matters that might be proposed by the Russian tax authorities.

Loss Attributable to Owners of Summit Ascent

Loss attributable to owners of Summit Ascent was HK$13.3 million in Q1 2020, compared to profit of HK$27.2 million in Q1 2019.

Liquidity, Financial Resources and Capital Structure

SA Group continues to maintain a strong financial position and finances its business operations with internal resources and cash revenues generated from operating activities. As at 31 March 2020, total equity attributable to the owners of Summit Ascent was HK$1,631.1 million (31 December 2019: HK$1,644.4 million).

- IV-8 -

APPENDIX IV

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF SUMMIT ASCENT

SA Group had no outstanding external borrowings throughout the period and as at 31 March 2020 (31 December 2019: Nil). Thus, the gearing ratio, expressed as a percentage of total borrowings divided by total assets, was zero percent as at 31 March 2020 (31 December 2019: zero percent).

SA Group remains conservative in its working capital management. As at 31 March 2020, net current assets of SA Group were HK$612.1 million (31 December 2019: HK$638.6 million) and bank balances and cash were HK$826.2 million (31 December 2019: HK$860.7 million), of which 32% was denominated in United States dollar, 61% in Hong Kong dollar, and 7% in Russian ruble. The majority of our cash equivalents at 31 March 2020 was in fixed deposits with a maturity of three months or less generally.

The following table sets forth a summary of SA Group's cash flows for Q1 2020:

Net cash from operating activities of HK$4.1 million and HK$54.8 million for Q1 2020 and Q1

2019 respectively, represented the positive operating cash flows generated by Tigre de Cristal.

Net cash used in investing activities of HK$18.6 million and HK$9.5 million for Q1 2020 and Q1 2019, respectively, were mainly due to additions for equipment and the return of VAT refunded under VAT arrangements to the tax authority of the Russian Federation.

Net cash used in financing activities of HK$1.9 million and HK$0.7 million for Q1 2020 and Q1 2019, respectively, represented the repayment of leases liabilities.

Charge on Assets

None of SA Group's assets were pledged or otherwise encumbered as at 31 March 2020 and 31 December 2019.

Exposure to Fluctuations in Exchange Rates

The functional currency of Summit Ascent is Hong Kong dollar and the consolidated financial statements of SA Group are presented in Hong Kong dollars.

- IV-9 -

APPENDIX IV

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF SUMMIT ASCENT

For financial reporting purposes, the consolidated financial statements of SA Group incorporate the financial statements of its subsidiaries. The income and expenses, and the assets and liabilities of subsidiaries which stated in currencies other than its functional currency are converted into Hong Kong dollars. SA Group's equity position reflects changes in book values caused by exchange rates. Hence, period-to-period changes in average exchange rates may cause translation effects that have a significant impact on results, and assets and liabilities of SA Group. As these fluctuations do not necessarily affect future cash flows, SA Group does not hedge against exchange rate translation risk.

On the other hand, revenues from mass table business and slot business are denominated in Russian rubles. The risk of Russian ruble fluctuation impacting the results of SA Group is substantially mitigated by a natural hedge in matching our operating costs, incurred by subsidiaries in the Russian Federation, denominated in the same currency.

Capital Commitment

SA Group's capital commitment as at 31 March 2020 amounted to approximately HK$1,542,000 for maintenance, improvement and refurbishment works of Tigre de Cristal (31 December 2019: HK$23,729,000).

Contingent Liabilities

There were no contingent liabilities as at 31 March 2020 and 31 December 2019.

Employees

As at 31 March 2020, total number of employees employed by SA Group was 1,202 (31 December 2019: 1,139). Currently, more than 97% of our full-time employees are local Russian citizens (31 December 2019: 97%). SA Group continues to provide remuneration packages and training programs to employees in line with prevailing market practices. In addition to the contributions to employees' provident fund and medical insurance programs, Summit Ascent has a share option program in place and occasionally may grant shares options to directors, employees and consultants of SA Group as incentives.

Outlook

Since 23 April 2019, the Company has become the substantial shareholder of Summit Ascent and, together with the subsequent changes in directors of Summit Ascent, we believe the cooperation with Suncity Group will continue to grow in scope and scale. In addition, Tigre de Cristal fits into the strategic roadmap of Suncity Group to provide a diversified portfolio of gaming options for its players around the world. The comparatively low gaming tax rate in the Russian Federation enables Tigre de Cristal to pay attractive rebates while maintaining solid margins.

In addition, SA Group continued to execute on several initiatives - most notably significant progress has been made in the expansion and refinement of the customer offerings at Tigre de Cristal. The completion of these enhancements has been inevitably slowed by the delays in deliveries of materials and other logistical constraints effected by the recent COVID-19 outbreak.

- IV-10 -

APPENDIX IV

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF SUMMIT ASCENT

Current status of the property enhancements is detailed below:

  • Suncity VIP Salon. The luxurious new VIP room has been slightly delayed but is nearing completion and will welcome its first VIP customers once travel connectivity returns to normalcy. With this addition to our gaming offering, Summit Ascent expects to more than double its number of VIP gaming tables.
  • A separate hot pot section in the rear of Summit Ascent's existing Pan-Asian restaurant, and a large private club located on the lower level of the property are nearing completion, but they have been delayed due to the unavoidable logistical issues mentioned above.
  • A 34-room extension to our existing hotel and a stand-alone noodle bar on the main gaming floor are both expected to be completed and operating later in 2020.

Going forward, SA Group expects the following factors to drive its growth:

  • More operators expected. In addition to the new Suncity VIP room referenced above, Summit Ascent expects to invite more traditional VIP operators to the property and believe that they will follow the Company's lead into the Russian market. This is in line with Summit Ascent's strategy to move up the VIP value chain.
  • The "Cluster Effect". Two other casino operators in the IEZ Primorye continue to develop their properties. Summit Ascent expects the smaller of the two to open for business in 2020 and the other in 2021 or 2022. Summit Ascent believes that more lodging, gaming choices, and amenities in the zone will increase the draw for both VIP and mass customers.
  • Phase II. Summit Ascent has reviewed and is finalizing conceptual designs, and is targeting an opening of our next property in the IEZ Primorye in 2022. This new integrated resort is expected to double Summit Ascent's VIP and mass gaming tables, slots, and have at least twice the lodging capacity of its first property. The plans include four restaurants and bars, additional retail offerings, and an indoor beach club and spa.
  • SA Group continues to enjoy a constructive dialogue and relationship with relevant Russian officials at the provincial and national levels and Summit Ascent does not expect adverse changes in legislation for the foreseeable future.

APPENDIX IV

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF SUMMIT ASCENT

Effective from 20 February 2020, as part of the efforts to contain the COVID-19 outbreak, the Russian government implemented a temporary entry ban for Chinese nationals, including passport holders from Hong Kong and Macau, which understandably had an adverse impact on its visitation to start 2020 and a negative impact on its rolling chip business in particular. Tigre de Cristal has followed the suggestions of the Russian government by temporarily suspending its gaming operations from 28 March 2020 until its reopening on 16 July 2020. The hotel operations of the Target Group continued to serve in a limited capacity during the period of suspension.

COVID-19 is and will continue to, unfortunately, present challenges to all forms of policy, economic and regulatory with many uncertainties, including:

  • Length of closure period of our property, if any
  • Time to reopen and ramp up once reopened
  • Impact of COVID-19 on the economy and consumer behavior in the short and long term

Unlike many businesses taking a hit during the global crisis, SA Group is well positioned to weather the current turmoil as it sits on huge piles of cash generated from the past years, with current ratio of 3.2 and debt to equity of zero at 31 March 2020. SA Group has ample liquidity to survive this unprecedented period of 'near-zero revenue' for over a year. The past few months have presented Tigre de Cristal with an unprecedented challenge. However, we expect the industry's fortunes to rebound if travel restrictions are lifted. We are optimistic that customers will see that Tigre de Cristal invested time and effort to welcome them back to a safe and entertaining environment.

7. LITIGATION

As disclosed in the annual report of the Company for year ended 31 December 2019 (the "2019

Annual Report"), a subsidiary of the Enlarged Group (the "Defendant") was involved in a litigation with an individual (the "Plaintiff") in respect of the right to use of an area located at certain investment properties of the Enlarged Group (the "Unit") during 2013 (the "2013 Litigation"). The Plaintiff claimed that she had a lease agreement regarding the right to use the Unit for the period from 26 September 2011 to 24 October 2062 and sought for damages in respect of the loss arising from failing to use of the Unit (the "Claim"). Four judgments were handed down between 2014 and 2019. The judge rejected all the demands from the Plaintiff in the first and second hearings, however at the end of 2018, the judge accepted the appeal by the Plaintiff and remanded the case for a re-trial in the Shenzhen People's Court.

According to the judgements of the court dated 7 May 2019 and 27 May 2019, certain portion of the investment properties of the Enlarged Group with fair value of approximately RMB533,000,000 was seized for the period from 10 May 2019 to 9 May 2022.

On 15 September 2019, the Defendant was ordered to (i) compensate the Plaintiff for an amount of RMB1,595,136 for the loss of rental income of the Unit for the period from 26 October 2011 to 25 June 2019 and (ii) bear the legal cost of approximately RMB29,000 (the "September Judgement").

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Plaintiff has filed for an appeal to further claim for damages with respect to the right of use of the Unit between 26 September 2011 and 24 October 2062.

APPENDIX V

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Defendant has also filed for an appeal with respect to the September Judgement. No court hearing date has been fixed as at the Latest Practicable Date. Based on a legal opinion obtained, the Defendant may be liable to potential damages of approximately RMB27,800,000 in aggregate in connection with the 2013 Litigation. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Enlarged Group has made provision of RMB27,800,000 for potential liability of the Claim.

In addition, the Enlarged Group was involved in several litigations in relation to the construction of the Enlarged Group's properties under development in the PRC with several contractors and suppliers, who are independent third parties to the Company and Summit Ascent. Based on the view that the legal proceeding was still in progress and with reference to the legal opinion obtained from the Company's PRC lawyer, the management considered that the likelihood for further outflow of resources of the Enlarged Group was remote.

Save as disclosed above, as at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the Directors' knowledge information and belief, no member of the Enlarged Group was engaged in any litigation, arbitration or claim of material importance and no litigation, arbitration or claim of material importance was known to the Directors to be pending or threatened against any member of the Enlarged Group that would have a material adverse effect on the results of operation or financial condition of the Enlarged Group.
