Consideration

The consideration for the Sale Interest is RMB331,922,200 (equivalent to approximately HK$360,785,000), which shall be paid and satisfied by Tianjin Food in cash to the Company in full within 7 days from the date the condition precedent to Completion is fulfilled, and Tianjin Food shall pay a penalty of 0.05% of the consideration to the Company for each day of delay in payment.

- 6 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The consideration for the Sale Interest was determined after arm's length negotiation between the parties to the Equity Transfer Agreement with reference to the appraised net asset value of Heavenly Palace as at the Valuation Benchmark Date in the amount of RMB181,967,200 (equivalent to approximately HK$197,790,435) and the dividend receivable by the Company in an aggregate sum of RMB149,955,090 (equivalent to approximately HK$162,994,663) payable by Heavenly Palace.

The appraised net asset value of Heavenly Palace as at the Valuation Benchmark Date in the amount of RMB181,967,200 (equivalent to approximately HK$197,790,435) was arrived at according to the valuation report prepared by the Independent Valuer using the asset-based approach, which was considered to have essentially reflected the value of the Sale Interest. The said valuation report with the Valuation Benchmark Date of 30 September 2019 has been prepared in compliance with the PRC legal requirement for a valuation report to be prepared as the basis for the determination of consideration for transfer of state-owned assets, which is considered to be effective within one year from the Valuation Benchmark Date. A summary of the relevant valuation report dated 18 May 2020 prepared by the Independent Valuer is set out in Appendix I to this circular, which includes, inter alia, the reasons for the adoption of the asset-based approach for enterprise value appraisal, the methodologies and assumptions adopted by the Independent Valuer, the scope of the valuation and the valuation results.

To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, the Directors are of the view that, for the period from the Valuation Benchmark Date to the Latest Practicable Date, there has been no material change in the financial position of Heavenly Palace or the assumptions used in the valuation report which may affect the valuation results as set out therein, as Heavenly Palace is a going concern with no material changes in its assets and liabilities, business operation and business model since the Valuation Benchmark Date. In light of the above, and taking into account (i) the fact that the valuation report has been prepared in compliance with PRC valuation procedures, standards, laws and regulations by the Independent Valuer with necessary qualification as members of the China Appraisal Society and over 10 years of valuation-related experience;

  1. that the Independent Valuer had reviewed relevant financial information, operational information and other relevant data concerning Heavenly Palace, and the registrations, legal documents, permits and licenses relating to Heavenly Palace to gain a thorough understanding of the company; and (iii) the reasons for the adoption of the asset-based approach for enterprise value appraisal and the unsuitability of other approaches, the methodologies and assumptions adopted by the Independent Valuer which are reasonable and common for this type of valuation, the scope of the valuation and the valuation results (which have all been thoroughly explained by the Independent Valuer and summarised in Appendix I to this circular), the Directors, including the independent non-executive Directors having taken into account the independent advice from the Independent Financial Adviser, consider that the results of the valuation reflected the value of the Sale Interest and are fair and reasonable, and that the consideration for the Sale Interest determined based on the valuation results is fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Condition precedent

Completion is subject to the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Independent Shareholders at the EGM to approve the Equity Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and the satisfaction of any other requirements under the Listing Rules by the Company on or before 30 September 2020 (or any other date agreed by the parties to the Equity Transfer Agreement in writing).

Completion

Following the date of payment of the consideration for the Sale Interest in full by Tianjin Food, the Company shall procure Heavenly Palace to assist in the completion of the necessary change of industrial and commercial registration procedures in connection with the Disposal (''Completion'').

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL

Upon Completion, the Company will cease to have any interests in Heavenly Palace, and Heavenly Palace will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company.

Subject to the review by the auditors of the Company, it is estimated that an unaudited gain of approximately RMB10,004,230 (equivalent to approximately HK$10,874,163) will arise from the Disposal, which is calculated with reference to (i) the consideration of RMB331,922,200 (equivalent to approximately HK$360,785,000); (ii) the unaudited net assets of Heavenly Palace of approximately RMB161,368,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$175,400,000) as at 31 December 2019; (iii) the settlement of dividend receivable of RMB149,955,090 (equivalent to approximately HK$162,994,663) payable by Heavenly Palace to the Company; and (iv) the capital gain tax of approximately RMB10,194,880 (equivalent to approximately HK$11,081,391) and other transaction costs of approximately RMB400,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$434,783) incidental to the Disposal. Based on preliminary assessment with reference to the financial information of Heavenly Palace and the amount of the consideration, it is expected that upon Completion, consolidated total liabilities of the Group will decrease in the amount of approximately HK$10,844,000 whereas consolidated total assets of the Group will not be affected. The actual amount of gain will depend on the carrying value of the Group's interest in Heavenly Palace as at Completion. The Company intends to apply the proceeds from the Disposal, after deducting relevant expenses and taxes, as its general working capital and for use in the core businesses of the Group with a view to enhancing the Shareholder value of the Company.

- 8 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

With a view to further concentrate resources on its core businesses, the Group has been reducing its investments in non-core businesses gradually. The principal businesses of Heavenly Palace, which focus on production and sale of pure water and bottled mineral water and investment holding, are non-core businesses that do not complement the business segments of the Group including utilities, pharmaceutical, hotel, electrical and mechanical and strategic and other investments. Furthermore, Heavenly Palace reported operating losses for some years without clear potential for significant improvement on its performance in the coming years. The Company believes that the Disposal has provided an excellent opportunity for it to realise its investment in the relevant non-core businesses and may enhance the operational efficiency of the assets of the Group, which is in line with the strategic deployment of resources and the actual needs for operational development of the Group.

None of the Directors have a material interest in the Equity Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. In view of good corporate governance practices, Mr. Wang Zhiyong and Mr. Chen Yanhua, who are also directors of Tsinlien and Tianjin Tsinlien Investment Holdings Co., Ltd. (天津津聯投資控股有限公司), the holding company of Tianjin Bohai, abstained from voting on the resolutions of the Board approving the Equity Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

GENERAL

The Company is listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange, with Tsinlien being its controlling Shareholder. Tsinlien is in turn directly wholly-owned by Tianjin Bohai, which is ultimately wholly-owned by the Tianjin Municipal People's Government of the PRC. The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The principal activities of the Group are (i) utilities including supply of electricity, water and heat and thermal power; (ii) pharmaceutical including manufacture and sale of chemical drugs, and research and development of new medicine technology and new products, as well as design, manufacture and printing for pharmaceutical packaging and sale of other paper-based packaging materials; (iii) hotel; (iv) electrical and mechanical including the manufacture and sale of presses, mechanical and hydroelectric equipment and large scale pump units; and (v) strategic and other investments including investments in associates which are principally engaged in the manufacture and sale of elevators and escalators and provision of port services in Tianjin.

Tianjin Food is principally engaged in (i) modern agriculture, animal husbandry and fisheries; (ii) production and processing of food; (iii) warehousing, logistics and trade services; and (iv) real estate development. Tianjin Food is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Tianjin Bohai, a controlling Shareholder.

- 9 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the transactions contemplated under the Equity Transfer Agreement calculated under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules exceeds 5% but all the applicable percentage ratios are less than 25%, the transactions contemplated under the Equity Transfer Agreement constitute a discloseable transaction of the Company and are subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Tsinlien is the controlling Shareholder of the Company, which directly and indirectly holds and controls the voting right in respect of a total of 673,759,143 shares of the Company, representing approximately 62.81% of the total issued shares of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. As Tsinlien and Tianjin Food are both direct wholly-owned subsidiaries of Tianjin Bohai, Tianjin Food is therefore a fellow subsidiary of Tsinlien and a connected person of the Company. Accordingly, the transactions contemplated under the Equity Transfer Agreement also constitute connected transactions of the Company, and are subject to the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Tsinlien and its associates which together hold the aforementioned 673,759,143 shares of the Company will abstain from voting on the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the EGM for the approval of the Equity Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

EGM

Set out on pages 48 to 49 of this circular is the notice of the EGM at which an ordinary resolution will be proposed, if thought fit, to approve the Equity Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. A form of proxy for use at the EGM is enclosed herewith.

Whether or not you are able to attend the EGM, you are requested to complete the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the Company's share registrar, Tricor Tengis Limited at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event no later than 4 : 00 p.m. on 15 August 2020 (Saturday), or in case of any adjournment thereof, not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of any adjourned meeting. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM (or any adjournment thereof) should you so wish.

VOTING BY POLL

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll. Accordingly, the resolution sets out in the notice of the EGM will be taken by way of poll.

An announcement on the poll results will be published by the Company after the EGM in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

HEAVENLY PALACE WINERY CO. LTD.

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in connection with the Equity Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, details of which are set out in the letter from the Board (the ''Letter from the Board'') contained in the circular of the Company to the Shareholders dated 31 July 2020 (the ''Circular''), of which this letter forms part. Unless otherwise defined, terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Circular.

On 18 June 2020, the Company entered into the Equity Transfer Agreement with Tianjin Food in relation to the disposal of the Sale Interest, representing the entire equity interest in Heavenly Palace, by the Company to Tianjin Food at a consideration of RMB331,922,200 (equivalent to approximately HK$360,785,000).

Listing Rules implications

As one of the applicable percentage ratios as defined under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect the transactions contemplated under the Equity Transfer Agreement calculated under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules exceeds 5% but all of the applicable percentage ratios

- 13 -

LETTER FROM RED SUN CAPITAL

are less than 25%, the transactions contemplated under the Equity Transfer Agreement constitute a discloseable transaction for the Company and are subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Tsinlien is the controlling Shareholder of the Company, which directly and indirectly holds a total of 673,759,143 shares of the Company, representing approximately 62.81% of the total issued shares of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. As Tsinlien and Tianjin Food are both direct wholly-owned subsidiaries of Tianjin Bohai, Tianjin Food is therefore a fellow subsidiary of Tsinlien and a connected person of the Company. Accordingly, the transactions contemplated under the Equity Transfer Agreement also constitute connected transactions of the Company, and are subject to the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Tsinlien and its associates which together hold the aforementioned 673,759,143 shares of the Company will abstain from voting on the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the EGM for the approval of the Equity Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

As set out in the Letter from the Board, none of the Directors have a material interest in the Equity Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In formulating our opinion and recommendation regarding the Disposal, we have considered the following principal factors and reasons:

1. Overview of the PRC economy

As disclosed on the website of the National Bureau of Statistics of the PRC1, year-on- year (''YoY'') growth in gross domestic products (''GDP'') for the PRC in 2019 was approximately 6.1% (2018 : 6.6%). Preliminary estimated GDP for the first half of 2020 was approximately RMB45.7 trillion, representing a slight decrease of approximately 1.6% compared to the corresponding period in 2019.

Pursuant to the Thirteenth Five-year Plan* (十三五規劃) introduced by the PRC government, the annual GDP growth target for the five years commenced from 2016 was approximately 6.5%. However, such target was subsequently adjusted down to 6.0% by the PRC government in March 2019. As stated in the Thirteenth Five Year Plan, the PRC government targets to, among others, (i) accelerate the agricultural population urbanisation* (加快農業轉移人口市民化) by implementing three main strategies, namely further reform of the household registration system* (深化戶籍制度 改革), implementation of the residence permit system* (實施居住證制度) and improvement on the system for promoting urbanisation of agricultural population* (健全促進農業轉移人口市民化的機制); and (ii) optimise urbanisation layout* (優化城 鎮化佈局和形態) by implementing three main strategies, namely the acceleration of the construction and advancement of urban agglomeration* (加快城市群建設發展), enhance the drive of activities by central cities* (增強中心城市輻射帶動功能) and speeding up of the development of small and medium-sized cities and characteristical towns* (加快發展中小城市和特色鎮). The Thirteenth Five Year Plan also promotes continued development of major PRC regions and cities under various PRC government initiatives, such as the Coordinated Development of Beijing-Tianjin- Hebei* (京津冀協同發展) and the Collaboration in the Bohai Bay Economic Rim* (

渤海經濟圈合作).

As disclosed in the Government Work Report* (政府工作報告) and promulgated in the Third Session of the Thirteenth National People's Congress* (第十三屆全國人民代表 大會第三次會議) in May 20202, the PRC government proposed reformative measures for, including, among others, stabilising unemployment rate, stimulating consumption by driving domestic demands, in response to the economic and livelihood challenges arising from the recent novel coronavirus outbreak (the ''Outbreak'').

In the short-term, among others, the outcome of the ongoing Sino-U.S. trade negotiation, the development of the Outbreak globally, the corresponding measures and policies implemented/to be implemented by the respective governments, and the rate of recovery of international economic activities, may cause uncertainties, increase market volatility and continue to have an effect on the PRC economy. However, in the

LETTER FROM RED SUN CAPITAL

medium to long term, the Group shall benefit from (i) the expected increase in urban population in the Tianjin City over time; (ii) the continued coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei* (京津冀協同發展); and (iii) the continued strategic support to the PRC domestic market from the PRC government. The Management is of the view that the Disposal enables the Group to reduce and realise its investments in the non-core business, being in line with the strategic deployment and the actual needs for operational development of the Group, which also allows the Group to re-deploy its resources in view of the ongoing market development as discussed above.

2. Information on the Group

The Group is principally engaged in (i) utilities including supply of electricity, water and heat and thermal power; (ii) pharmaceutical including manufacture and sale of chemical drugs, and research and development of new medicine technology and new products, as well as design, manufacture and printing for pharmaceutical packaging and sale of other paper-based packaging materials; (iii) hotel; (iv) electrical and mechanical including the manufacture and sale of presses, mechanical and hydroelectric equipment and large scale pump units; and (v) strategic and other investments including investments accounted for using the equity method which are principally engaged in the manufacture and sale of elevators and escalators and provision of port services in Tianjin, the PRC.

We understand from the Management that the investment in associates and joint ventures balance primarily consisted of (i) 40% equity interest of Tianjin Haihe Dairy Company Limited* (''Haihe Dairy'') 天津海河乳業有限公司; (ii) 56% equity interest of Liaoning Wang Chao Wunushan Icewine Co., Ltd.* 遼寧王朝五女山冰酒莊有限公司 (''Wunushan Icewine''); and (iii) 25% equity interest of Liaoning Wunushan Milan Winery Co., Ltd.* (''Wunushan Milan Winery'') 遼寧王朝五女山米蘭酒業有限公司 (together the ''Equity Investments'').

4. Reasons for, and the benefits of, the Disposal and intended use of proceeds from the Disposal

As disclosed in the Letter from the Board, the Management is of the view that the Group would like to further concentrate resources on its core businesses by reducing its investments in non-core businesses gradually. The principal businesses of Heavenly Palace, which focus on production and sale of pure water and bottled mineral water and investments holdings, are non-core businesses that do not complement the business segments of the Group including utilities, pharmaceutical, hotel, electrical and mechanical and strategic and other investments. Furthermore, Heavenly Palace reported operating losses for some years without clear potential for significant improvement on its performance in the coming years. The Management believes that the Disposal has provided an excellent opportunity for it to realise its investment in the relevant non-core businesses and may enhance the operational efficiency of the assets of the Group, which is in line with the strategic deployment of resources and the actual needs for operational development of the Group. In view of this, the Management considers that, although the Equity Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are not in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement are fair and reasonable and the transactions contemplated under the Equity Transfer Agreement are on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

As set out in the Letter from the Board, the Company intends to apply the proceeds from the Disposal, after deducting relevant expenses and taxes, as its general working capital and for use in the core businesses of the Group with a view to enhancing the Shareholder value of the Company.

Having considered the reasons as set out above, in particular, (i) the principal businesses of Heavenly Palace are considered to be non-core businesses, that has reported operating losses for some years, and do not complement the existing core businesses of the Group; and (ii) our analysis and assessment on, among others, the terms of the Disposal, including the consideration, the valuation of Heavenly Palace conducted by the Valuer, the market comparables and the expected financial impact of

- 20 -

LETTER FROM RED SUN CAPITAL

the Disposal including an unaudited gain of approximately RMB10.0 million, further details of which are set out under the sections headed ''6. Our analysis'' and ''7. Expected financial impact of the Disposal'' in this letter below, we are of the view that the Disposal is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

5. The Equity Transfer Agreement

As disclosed in the Letter from the Board, the principal terms of each of the Equity Transfer Agreement are summarised below:

Date:

18 June 2020

Parties:

(1) the Company (as vendor); and

(2) Tianjin Food (as purchaser).

Subject matter:

The Company conditionally agreed to sell and Tianjin Food

conditionally agreed to purchase the Sale Interest,

representing the entire equity interest in Heavenly Palace, at

the consideration of RMB331,922,200 (equivalent to

approximately HK$360,785,000).

Pricing basis:

The consideration for the Sale Interest was determined after

arm's length negotiation between the parties to the Equity

Transfer Agreement with reference to the appraised net asset

value of Heavenly Palace as at the Valuation Benchmark Date

in the amount of RMB181,967,200 (equivalent to

approximately HK$197,790,435) and the dividend receivable

in an aggregate sum of RMB149,955,090 (equivalent to

approximately HK$162,994,663) payable by Heavenly Palace.

The appraised net asset value of Heavenly Palace as at the

Valuation Benchmark Date in the amount of RMB181,967,200

(equivalent to approximately HK$197,790,435) was arrived at

by the independent valuer using the asset-based approach,

which was considered to have essentially reflected the value of

the Sale Interest. The said valuation report with the Valuation

Benchmark Date of 30 September 2019 has been prepared in

compliance with the PRC legal requirement for a valuation

report to be prepared as the basis for the determination of

consideration for transfer of state-owned assets, which is

considered to be effective within one year from the Valuation

Benchmark Date.

- 21 -

LETTER FROM RED SUN CAPITAL

To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and

belief having made all reasonable enquiries, the Directors are

of the view that, for the period from the Valuation Benchmark

Date to the Latest Practicable Date, there has been no material

change in the financial position of Heavenly Palace or the

assumptions used in the valuation report which may affect the

valuation results as set out therein, as Heavenly Palace is a

going concern with no material changes in its assets and

liabilities, business operation and business model since the

Valuation Benchmark Date. In light of the above, and taking

into account (i) the fact that the valuation report has been

prepared in compliance with PRC valuation procedures,

standards, laws and regulations by the Independent Valuer

with necessary qualification as members of the China

Appraisal Society and over 10 years of valuation-related

experience; (ii) that the Independent Valuer had reviewed

relevant financial information, operational information and

other relevant data concerning Heavenly Palace, and the

registrations, legal documents, permits and licenses relating to

Heavenly Palace to gain a thorough understanding of the

company; and (iii) the reasons for the adoption of the asset-

based approach for enterprise value appraisal and the

unsuitability of other approaches, the methodologies and

assumptions adopted by the Independent Valuer which are

reasonable and common for this type of valuation, the scope

of the valuation and the valuation results, the Directors

consider that the results of the valuation reflected the value of

the Sale Interest and are fair and reasonable, and that the

consideration for the Sale Interest determined based on the

valuation results is fair and reasonable, on normal commercial

terms and in the interests of the Company and the

Shareholders as a whole.

Payment method:

The consideration for the Sale Interest is RMB331,922,200

(equivalent to approximately HK$360,785,000), which shall be

paid and satisfied by Tianjin Food in cash to the Company in

full within 7 days from the date the condition precedent to

Completion is fulfilled, and Tianjin Food shall pay a penalty

of 0.05% of the consideration to the Company for each day of

delay in payment.

LETTER FROM RED SUN CAPITAL

Condition precedent:

by the Independent Shareholders at the EGM to approve the

Equity Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated

thereunder and the satisfaction of any other requirements

under the Listing Rules by the Company on or before

to the Equity Transfer Agreement in writing).

Completion:

Following the date of payment of the consideration for the

Sale Interest in full by Tianjin Food, the Company shall

procure Heavenly Palace to assist in the completion of the

necessary change of industrial and commercial registration

procedures in connection with the Disposal.

Having considered the above principal terms of the Disposal, including (i) the consideration basis, which was determined after arm's length negotiation between the parties to the Equity Transfer Agreement with reference to the appraised net asset value of Heavenly Palace as at the Valuation Benchmark Date, such being in line with general market practice of determining the consideration with reference to the subject valuation by an independent valuer, further work and analysis of which are set out below; and (ii) the payment method which shall be paid and satisfied by Tianjin Food in cash to the Company in full within 7 days from the date the condition precedent to Completion is fulfilled, which is largely in line with market practice of the settlement of the consideration in full on or shortly after the completion date, we considered that the principal terms of the Disposal, other than the consideration which is further analysed and assessed in this letter below, are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable as a whole.

6. Our analysis

As set out in the Letter from the Board, the consideration for the Sale Interest is RMB331,922,200 (equivalent to approximately HK$360,785,000) (the ''Consideration''), which was determined after arm's length negotiation between the parties to the Equity Transfer Agreement with reference to the appraised net asset value of Heavenly Palace as at the Valuation Benchmark Date prepared by the Valuer in the amount of RMB181,967,200 (equivalent to approximately HK$197,790,435) and the dividend receivable of RMB149,955,090 (equivalent to approximately HK$162,994,663) from Heavenly Palace.

On the basis that the Consideration comprised of (i) dividend receivable of approximately RMB149,955,090; and (ii) appraised net asset value of Heavenly Palace as at the Valuation Benchmark Date of approximately RMB181,967,200, we have conducted the following analysis.

LETTER FROM RED SUN CAPITAL

Methodology of the Valuation

According to the Valuation Report and based on our discussion with the Independent Valuer for the methodologies, basis and assumptions adopted by the Independent Valuer, we understood that the Independent Valuer has considered three generally accepted approaches, namely the market approach, income approach and asset-based approach in the Valuation.

The market approach refers to the valuation where the asset value is arrived by comparison of the market value of a similar comparable at the time near to the valuation date. However, the Independent Valuer is of the view that there were insufficient identifiable market comparable transactions with similar characteristics that has publicly available information, in terms of financial and operational, thus the market approach is not considered to be an appropriate valuation methodology for the purpose of its valuation.

The income approach refers to the valuation where the asset value is arrived through estimating the present value of the future returns of the appraised subject. According to relevant asset valuation standards, discounted cash flow (the ''DCF'') is commonly-used method in income approach, where the future expected cash flow of the appraised subject is estimated, and an appropriate discount rate is applied thereon to convert the same into a present value to arrive at the appraised value. The use of the expected DCF is based on the reasonable forecast of the expected cash flow. Heavenly Palace is principally engaged in the production of sales of pure water and bottled mineral water for a limited number of customers. Therefore, the Independent Valuer is of the view that it is not practicable to rely on a profit forecast given the insufficient customer base as well as the uncertainties and risks around a profit forecast. Therefore, the Independent Valuer did not apply the income approach for the purpose of its valuation.

The asset-based approach measures the value of an asset by the cost to reproduce or replace, with relevant adjustments, where appropriate, and typically such would involve the Independent Valuer assessing the appraised value of principal assets and liabilities of appraised subject.

According to the Independent Valuer, in determining the selection of valuation approach used, the Independent Valuer has considered the business nature, the financial performance and position of Heavenly Palace, its future prospects as well as relevant publicly available information. We understand that the Independent Valuer had considered the merits and limitations of each of the aforesaid valuation methodologies as well as the nature and status of Heavenly Palace's business as at the valuation date, including, among others, (i) the lack of sufficient suitable direct market comparables for the purpose of adopting the market approach; and (ii) the historical loss making track record of Heavenly Palace for each of the two years ended 31 December 2018 and 2019. In this

- 25 -

LETTER FROM RED SUN CAPITAL

connection, the Independent Valuer considered that the asset-based approach to be the most appropriate valuation approach for the purpose of its valuation of Heavenly Palace.

As set out in the Valuation Report, the appraised value of Heavenly Palace amounted to approximately RMB181,967,200 compared to the unaudited net asset value of Heavenly Palace of approximately RMB175,364,500 as at Valuation Benchmark Date, respectively. The appreciation in value was mainly attributable to the appraised value attributable to investment in associate held by Heavenly Palace, being classified under non-current assets, being higher than that of its carrying value.

Based on our review and discussion with the Independent Valuer in relation to its valuation approach and basis, in particular, Heavenly Palace has recorded unaudited losses for each of the two years ended 31 December 2018 and 2019, hence adopting the income approach would be considered inappropriate as there are uncertainties around how and when the business can be turned around, if at all, and without recording a profit for its last two completed financial years would mean that adopting the market approach is considered unsuitable as there are no profit-to-earnings ratio for comparison purposes and that the Independent Valuer also stated that there are insufficient identifiable market comparable transactions with similar characteristics that has publicly available information for the purpose of adopting the market approach, and having reviewed the major valuation assumptions and considerations made by the Independent Valuer as set out in the summary of the Valuation Report in Appendix I to the Circular, we are of the view that the valuation approach and the assumptions adopted in the valuation is fair and reasonable.

Market comparable analysis

In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Consideration (excluding the Dividend Receivable), we have also considered further analysis by comparing the implied price-to-earnings ratio (the ''P/E ratio'') and the implied price-to-book ratio (the ''P/B ratio'') under the Disposal, both of which are considered to be commonly used valuation metrics. However, as the Heavenly Palace has recorded unaudited loss after taxation for the year ended 31 December 2019, the implied P/ E ratio under the Disposal will be negative, hence not appropriate for comparison purposes. In view of the above, we have compared the implied P/B ratio against that of the companies which are listed on the Stock Exchange and are engaged in similar businesses to those of the Heavenly Palace, the principal business of which is the production and sale of pure water, bottled mineral water and investments holdings.

In respect of the implied P/B ratio of the Heavenly Palace, such is calculated based on the unaudited net asset value approximately RMB161.4 million as at 31 December 2019, being the equity attributable to owners of the Heavenly Palace. On this basis, the implied P/B ratio under the Disposal, calculated based on (i) the

- 26 -

LETTER FROM RED SUN CAPITAL

implied value of 100% equity interest of Heavenly Palace based on the Consideration (excluding the Dividend Receivable) of approximately RMB182.0 million; and divided by (ii) the unaudited net asset value of the Heavenly Palace of approximately RMB161.4 million as at 31 December 2019, would be approximately 1.13 times.

For the purpose of our comparable analysis, we have identified comparable companies based on the following criteria: (i) the shares of which are listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange4; (ii) the market capitalisation5 of which is between HK$100 million and HK$2,000 million as at the date of Equity Transfer Agreement; (iii) engage in principal business similar to the Heavenly Palace's business and generated over 50% of its total revenue for the latest completed financial year from the production and sale of pure water and bottled mineral water; and (iv) over 75% of revenue primarily generated from the PRC for the latest completed financial year (the ''Initial Criteria''). Based on the Initial Criteria, we have only identified Tibet Water Resources Ltd. (Stock code: 1115) as a comparable. Having considered that the sample size of one comparable may not give a representative view of the beverage industry of which Heavenly Palace operates in. In this connection, with a view to analyse a larger sample size of comparable companies, we have expanded Initial Criteria (iii) to cover listed companies that generated over 50% of its revenue from the sale of non-alcoholic and non-dairy beverages for its latest completed financial year, while keeping the other Initial Criteria the same (together the ''Final Criteria''). Based on the Final Criteria, on a best effort basis, we have identified an exhaustive list of six comparable companies (the ''Comparable Companies''). Notwithstanding that five out of six of the Comparable Companies are not engaged in the production and sale of pure water and bottled mineral water, being the principal business of Heavenly Palace, but these Comparable Companies shared many similarities and are considered to be appropriate for comparison purposes, such as a majority of their revenue was derived from the sale of non-alcoholic and non-dairy beverages in the PRC, which operated broadly under a similar beverage industry. On this basis, we considered the Comparable Companies to be a fair and representative sample.

  1. For the avoidance of doubt, shares of companies which were suspended in trading as at the date of the Equity Transfer Agreement were not included as Comparables Companies.
  2. Market capitalisation is calculated based on the respective closing price as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the date of the Equity Transfer Agreement and the number of issued shares based on published information as at 31 May 2020.

LETTER FROM RED SUN CAPITAL

Notes:

  1. In respect of the Comparable Companies, market capitalisation is calculated based on the respective closing price as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the date of the Equity Transfer Agreement and the number of issued shares based on published information as at 31 May 2020.
  2. For the illustrative purpose of this table, conversion of RMB into HK$ in relation to the respective financial figures of the Comparable Companies denominated in RMB (where applicable) is calculated at the approximate exchange rate of RMB1.0 to HK$1.09. This exchange rate is for illustration purpose only and does not constitute a representation that any amounts have been, could have been, or may be exchanged at this or any other rate at all.
  3. Calculated by dividing the respective market capitalisation by the respective consolidated equity attributable to the owners of the Comparable Companies, as extracted from the latest published financial statements.
  4. Summi (Group) Holdings Ltd. recorded negative consolidated shareholders' equity attributable to its owners as at 31 December 2019, according to its interim report for the six months ended 31 December 2019.

The P/B ratios of the Comparable Companies ranged from approximately 0.12 times to 1.23 times, with an average of approximately 0.72 times. The implied P/B ratio of Heavenly Palace under the Disposal was approximately 1.13 times which is within range, towards the high end and above the average of the P/B ratio of the Comparable Companies. Out of all of the Comparable Companies, the principal business of Tibet Water is closest to that of Heavenly Palace's business of production and sale of pure water and bottled mineral water, the implied P/B ratio of Heavenly Palace under the Disposal of approximately 1.13 times is notably higher than that of Tibet Water, being approximately 0.41 times.

Having considered our analysis above together with our work performed on the Valuation Report as set out under sub-section headed ''(b) Valuation by the Independent Valuer'' above, we are of the view that the Consideration is fair and reasonable.

7. Expected financial impact of the Disposal Gains/losses arising from the Disposal

  1. Upon the Completion, the Company will cease to have any equity interest in Heavenly Palace, and Heavenly Palace will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company.

    Subject to the review by the auditors of the Company, the Management estimated that an unaudited gain of approximately RMB10,004,230 (equivalent to approximately HK$10,874,163) will arise from the Disposal, which is calculated with reference to (i) the Consideration of RMB331,922,200 (equivalent to approximately HK$360,785,000);

  2. the unaudited net assets of Heavenly Palace of approximately RMB161,368,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$175,400,000) as at 31 December 2019; (iii) the settlement of dividend receivable of RMB149,955,090 (equivalent to approximately

- 29 -

LETTER FROM RED SUN CAPITAL

HK$162,994,663) payable by Heavenly Palace to the Company; and (iv) the capital gain tax of approximately RMB10,194,880 (equivalent to approximately HK$11,081,391) and other transaction costs of approximately RMB400,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$434,783) incidental to the Disposal. Based on preliminary assessment with reference to the financial information of Heavenly Palace and the amount of the consideration, it is expected that upon Completion, the consolidated total liabilities of the Group will decrease in the amount of approximately HK$10,844,000 whereas consolidated total assets of the Group will not be materially affected. The actual amount of gain will depend on the carrying value of the Group's interest in Heavenly Palace as at Completion.

Working capital

As the Consideration shall be settled by Tianjin Food in cash to the Company in full within 7 days from the date the condition precedent to Completion is fulfilled. The cash position of the Group will be increased by the net proceeds to be received under the Disposal. The Company intends to apply the proceeds from the Disposal as general working capital of the Group.

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered of the above principal factors and reasons, we consider that the entering into of the Disposal, albeit not in the ordinary and usual course of the business of the Company, is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and the terms of the Disposal are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned. We therefore advise the Independent Shareholders, and the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant ordinary resolution to approve the Disposal at the EGM.

Yours faithfully,

Summary of Asset Valuation Report

The Entire Shareholders' Equity in

Tianjin Heavenly Palace Winery Co., Ltd.

Involved in the Project for its Proposed Transfer

by Tianjin Development Holdings Limited

To: Tianjin Development Holdings Limited

Pan-China Assets Appraisal Co., Ltd. (北京天健興業資產評估有限公司) accepted the appointment by Tianjin Development Holdings Limited (天津發展控股有限公司) to perform a valuation on the market value as at 30 September 2019 of the entire shareholders' equity in Tianjin Heavenly Palace Winery Co., Ltd. (天津天宮葡萄釀酒有限 公司), which constitutes the subject-matter of the proposed transfer of the equity interest in Tianjin Heavenly Palace Winery Co., Ltd. (天津天宮葡萄釀酒有限公司) by Tianjin Development Holdings Limited (天津發展控股有限公司). The valuation was conducted by adopting the asset-based approach, in accordance with necessary valuation procedures and the requirements under relevant laws, administrative regulations and asset valuation standards, and following the principles of independence, objectivity and fairness. The asset valuation is hereby reported as follows:

  1. Valuation purpose: Tianjin Development Holdings Limited (天津發展控股有限公司) proposed to transfer the entire equity interest in Tianjin Heavenly Palace Winery Co., Ltd. (天津天宮葡萄釀酒有限公司). In this connection, a valuation is required to be performed on the entire shareholders' equity in Tianjin Heavenly Palace Winery Co., Ltd.

  1. Valuation benchmark date: 30 September 2019.
    VI. Valuation method: Asset-based approach.

APPENDIX I

SUMMARY OF THE VALUATION REPORT

VII. Valuation conclusions:

The asset-based approach has been adopted by the valuers in conducting the valuation on the valuation subject. This report together with the conclusions is only intended to be used for the valuation purpose as described herein and for no other purposes. According to the relevant regulations of the PRC, these valuation conclusions shall remain in force for one year from 30 September 2019 (being the valuation benchmark date) to 29 September 2020.

Basic approaches for enterprise value appraisal include the asset-based approach, the income approach and the market approach.

The asset-based approach for enterprise value appraisal, also known as the cost approach, refers to the valuation method that determines the value of a valuation subject by appraising the value of its various assets and liabilities on balance sheet and various identifiable assets and liabilities off balance sheet, with reference to the balance sheet of the valued entity as at the valuation benchmark date.

The income approach for enterprise value appraisal refers to the valuation method that determines the value of a valuation subject by capitalising or discounting its expected income. The specific methods commonly involved when using the income approach include the dividend discount method and the discounted cash flow method. The income approach is the assessment of the value of an enterprise by its profitability, which is based on the economics theory of expected utility.

The valued entity has discontinued its principal business of winery many years ago as a result of the challenging business environment in the winery sector and currently focuses on the production of pure water with its only remaining set of pure water production facilities. Given the fact that the valued entity relies on limited customers for its sales, it is not possible to accurately predict the relevant income, costs and expenses in the future. As there are large uncertainties in its future operating results, it is inappropriate to adopt the income approach for this valuation.

The market approach for enterprise value appraisal refers to the valuation method that determines the value of a valuation subject by comparing the valuation subject with comparable listed companies or comparable transaction cases. There are two commonly used specific methods under the market approach, which are listed- company comparison and transaction-case comparison.

As the valued entity is not a listed company, it is vastly different from the listed companies in the same industry in areas including business structure, operation model, business scale, assets allocation and usage, stage of operational development, growth, operational risks, financial risks, etc. In addition, as there were limited cases of transfers, acquisitions or mergers conducted by comparable enterprises in the same industry in the PRC on or about the valuation benchmark date, an appropriate value ratio cannot be properly calculated due to failure to obtain the relevant reliable operating and financial data of comparable transaction cases. Therefore, it is inappropriate to adopt the market approach in this valuation.

- 32 -

APPENDIX I

SUMMARY OF THE VALUATION REPORT

The valuation results based on the asset-based approach as at the valuation benchmark date is considered to have essentially reflected the value of the relevant equity interest, and therefore only the assets-based approach has been adopted in this valuation.

(天津天宮葡萄釀酒有限公司) was RMB343,981,400, with the appraised value being RMB350,584,100, and the appreciation amount was RMB6,602,700 with an appreciation rate at 1.92%; the book value of its total liabilities was RMB168,616,900, with the appraised value being RMB168,616,900, without any appreciation or depreciation; the book value of its net assets was RMB175,364,500, with the appraised value being RMB181,967,200, and the appreciation amount was RMB6,602,700 with an appreciation rate at 3.77%.

APPENDIX I

SUMMARY OF THE VALUATION REPORT

This valuation has covered the total assets and liabilities of Tianjin Heavenly Palace Winery Co., Ltd. (天津天宮葡萄釀酒有限公司) as at the valuation benchmark date, of which the book value of the total assets was RMB343,981,400, the book value of the total liabilities was RMB168,616,900 and the book value of the net assets was RMB175,364,500. There were differences in the appraised value of major assets as compared with their book values:

(a) Current assets

The decrease in the appraised value of current assets was mainly due to the depreciation in the appraised value of inventories. Reasons for the depreciation are as follows:

Inventories - Depreciation of revolving materials in use - The revolving materials in use mainly comprised of low-value consumables such as empty barrels used for turnover in operations. This valuation adopted the replacement cost approach for conducting the valuation and the actual market prices of revolving materials in use were lower than their book values, thereby resulting in the depreciation in the appraised value.

  1. Long-termequity investments
    The book value and carrying amount of provision for impairment of long-term equity investments were RMB66,150,500 and RMB17,715,100 respectively while the book value after impairment was RMB48,435,400. The long-term equity investments mainly represented the long-term equity investments in three investee companies, including one associate and two joint ventures. In terms of long-term equity investment in Liaoning Wang Chao Wunushan Icewine Co., Ltd. (遼寧王朝 五女山冰酒莊有限公司), the valued entity had determined there was an indication of impairment, and estimated its recoverable amount and carried out impairment test. The provision of the impairment was calculated based on the difference between the book value and the recoverable amount of the net assets, and

recognised towards impairment losses in previous years. After valuation, the book value and carrying amount of provision for impairment of long-term equity investments were RMB66,150,500 and RMB17,715,100 respectively while the book value after impairment was RMB48,435,400, and the appraised value was RMB54,927,600.

According to the breakdown of the long-term equity investments appraisal, the valuers had checked the articles of association, agreements, business scope and operating conditions, investment dates, original investment amount, equity ratio and other written information in respect of the investee companies. The valuation of the investee companies was conducted in accordance with the appropriate enterprise value appraisal methods selected pursuant to the overall project plan.

For long-term investment in the joint ventures, valuation was performed on the entire investee company using enterprise value appraisal method, and the long- term equity investment of the valued entity would then be valued with reference to the said appraised value multiplied by the percentage of its shareholding.

For long-term investment in the associated company, different valuation methods were adopted taking into account its specific circumstances:

. For long-term equity investment in investee company which the valued entity has never received any investment return or dividend therefrom, and permission was granted for the valuers to have access to the said investee company for the purpose of performing a valuation on the entire company, in general such valuation would first be performed on the entire investee company using enterprise value appraisal method, and the long-term equity investment of the valued entity in such company would then be valued with reference to the said appraised value multiplied by the percentage of its shareholding;

. For long-term equity investment in investee company which the valued entity has never received any investment return or dividend therefrom, and no permission was granted for the valuers to have access to the said investee company for the purpose of performing a valuation on the entire company in light of the small shareholding percentage in the investee company held by the valued entity, then the long-term equity investment of the valued entity in such company would be valued with reference to the net asset value of the investee company multiplied by the percentage of its shareholding as at the valuation benchmark date.

APPENDIX I

SUMMARY OF THE VALUATION REPORT

RMB75,064,000, RMB48,031,300 and RMB27,032,700 respectively. For the period from January to September 2019, the revenue and net profits of the company were nil and RMB-5,129,700 respectively. Based on the asset-based approach, the appraised value of total assets and total liabilities were RMB122,775,700 and RMB48,031,300 respectively. The appraised net assets value was RMB74,744,300, representing an appreciation of RMB47,711,700 or 176.50%. The differences between the appraised value of certain assets and their book values and the reasons for such differences are as follows:

    1. Fixed assets - appreciation of value of buildings
      . The appreciation of the appraised gross value of buildings was due to the increases in labour costs, machinery costs and material costs in recent years, resulting in the appreciation in the appraised gross value as compared to the book gross value;
      . The appreciation of the appraised net value of buildings was mainly due to their useful lives being longer than the accounting depreciation lives adopted by the investee company.
    2. Intangible assets - appreciation of value of land use rights
      . The book value of land use rights was lower than its original value after the deduction of government subsidies following acquisition of such rights and annual amortisation;
      . The land prices have risen in recent years due to the supply and demand relation in the land market and the steady development of the local economy.

APPENDIX I

SUMMARY OF THE VALUATION REPORT

The cost approach was adopted in the valuation of trademark and is a method for determining the value of trademark rights based on various expenses and costs required in the formation of trademark rights. The valued entity's product pricing is mainly dependent on product quality, marketing network and tender rather than the trademark of its products. The trademark was mainly used as defensive registration to prevent infringement by other enterprises or individuals, and cannot make a significant contribution to product sales. In this case, it is appropriate to adopt cost approach in this valuation.

As both registration and agency fees are valid for 10 years, and fresh registration and agency fees will be paid upon expiry for renewal, therefore, the depreciation rate of the fees (renewal fees) is calculated according to their remaining useful lives. The final valuation value is determined according to the replacement cost minus the depreciation factor, as below:

APPENDIX I

SUMMARY OF THE VALUATION REPORT

The valuers verified and spot-tested various breakdowns of the accrued wages, and at the same time reviewed the ledgers and voucher, and examined the accrual, distribution and use of each item in accordance with company regulations. Upon checking, the accounting treatments were found to be accurate and consistent with the relevant policy under the company regulations and the verified book value was determined as the appraised value.

  1. Other payable
    The book value of other payable was RMB152,132,144.94, mainly representing the dividend payable to the shareholder of the valued entity and amounts received from other units and individuals temporarily, such as the pool pension payable to the retired employees, amounts due to individuals, amounts due to and from intra-group companies etc.
    The valuers examined relevant documents, contracts and supporting documents and no irregularities were found which might depreciate or appreciate the value. After determining its authenticity, the verified book value was determined as the appraised value.
    After the implementation of the valuation above, there is no appreciation in the appraised value of current liability.

VIII. Valuation assumptions

  1. Trading assumption: assuming that all assets to be appraised were in the course of being transacted and the valuation appraised by the valuers was based on a simulated market taking into account the terms of transaction of the assets to be appraised.
  2. Open market assumption: open market assumption is an assumption of the conditions of the market the assets proposed to enter and of how the assets will be affected given such market conditions. Open market refers to fully developed and sound market conditions, which is a competitive market with voluntary purchasers and sellers, and in which purchasers and sellers are of equal standing and have opportunities and time to collect sufficient market information. In an open market, parties to the transaction trade voluntarily, rationally, under no compulsion and without restriction.
  3. Continuous use assumption: continuous use assumption is an assumption of the conditions of the market the assets proposed to enter and of the status of the assets under such market conditions. It is assumed that, firstly, the assets to be appraised are under use, and secondly, the assets under use will be used continuously. Under continuous use assumption, changed use of the assets and the best condition of use will not be taken into account, and the scope of use of the valuation results is limited.
