Any change to the structure of the Debt Restructuring subsequent to the Latest Practicable Date and prior to Completion will be reflected in the Shenzhen Sky Alliance Loan and will not impact the Consideration.

Taking into account (i) only approximately 14% of the total saleable area of Le Paysage remains unsold and the occupancy rate of Gang Long City Shopping Centre was approximately 67%, 60% and 58% for the years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 respectively as disclosed in the section headed "REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL" in the letter from the Board in this circular; and (ii) the Disposal Group recorded a loss after taxation of approximately RMB184.851 million and approximately RMB357.296 million for the years ended 31 December 2019 and 2020 respectively as disclosed in the section headed "Financial Information of the Disposal Group" in the letter from the Board in this circular, the Board is of the opinion that the Disposal Group is and will be continue to be unable to settle its excessive liabilities of approximately RMB2.38 billion as disclosed in the paragraph headed "Basis of the Repayment Arrangement" in the letter from the Board in this circular. Taking into account (i) the aforementioned inability of the Disposal Group to settle its excessive liabilities; and (ii) the Purchaser is willing to repay RMB501.749 million of the Disposal Group's outstanding intra-group liabilities due to the Group under the Shenzhen Sky Alliance Loan, the Board considers the waiver of RMB772.402 million of the Disposal Group's intra-group liabilities due to the Group pursuant to the Debt Restructuring is fair and reasonable.

Before Completion, as the Disposal Group is still part of the Group, the Group will continue to be obligated to repay the outstanding balances of the CITIC Loans. As such, depending on the actual Completion Date, Shenzhen Sky Alliance may be required to provide additional credit under the Shenzhen Sky Alliance Loan to the Disposal Group, in order to meet the aforementioned obligations according to the schedule as outlined below:

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Mr. Chiu as the agent of Shenzhen Sky Alliance and Shenzhen Zirui, as the guarantor, will enter into the Property Mortgage at Completion, pursuant to which Shenzhen Zirui will charge (i) 20 commercial units and shops in Le Paysage with aggregate book value of approximately RMB134,511,000 and aggregate fair value of approximately RMB137,140,000 based on the Valuation; and (ii) 1 apartment and 22 villas in Le Paysage with aggregate book value of approximately RMB178,514,000 and aggregate fair value of approximately RMB660,130,000 based on the Valuation, as security for the repayment of the Shenzhen Sky Alliance Loan. The Board is of the view that the Property Mortgage is fair and reasonable, as the aggregate fair values of the properties to be charged under the Property Mortgage (i.e. approximately RMB797,270,000) far exceeds the estimated outstanding balance of the Shenzhen Sky Alliance Loan at Completion as at the Latest Practicable Date (i.e. RMB501,749,000).

The Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Shenzhen Sky Alliance Loan Agreements are inter-conditional. In the event that the outstanding balance of the Shenzhen Sky Alliance Loan is to be adjusted from RMB501,749,000 pursuant to any changes to the structure of the Debt Restructuring, there will be no additional adjustments made to the Consideration.

Repayment Arrangement

Pursuant to the Shenzhen Sky Alliance Loan Agreements to be entered into in relation to the Shenzhen Sky Alliance Loan at Completion, the Shenzhen Sky Alliance Loan in the aggregate amount of RMB501,749,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$602,099,000) and the actual amount advanced by Shenzhen Sky Alliance to the Disposal Group for the repayment of the CITIC Loans from the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement until the Completion Date shall be repaid by Shenzhen Zirui to Shenzhen Sky Alliance according to the schedule as outlined below:

  1. any amount exceeding RMB501,749,000 shall be repaid within 1 month from the Completion Date;
  2. as to RMB401,749,000 shall be repaid on or before 31 March 2022; and

Interest:Nil

Default interest:

12% per annum on all amounts overdue from respective

due dates for payment

Basis of the Repayment Arrangement

The terms of the Shenzhen Sky Alliance Loan including the Repayment Arrangement was determined based on arm's length negotiations between the Company and the Purchaser taking into account the existing liabilities of the Disposal Group as at 31 December 2020.

- 15 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board considers the terms of the Shenzhen Sky Alliance Loan Agreements, including but not limited to the repayment schedule of the Shenzhen Sky Alliance Loan are fair and reasonable as the Purchaser will be taking responsibility for a significant portion of the Disposal Group's borrowings due to Independent Third Parties and the Disposal Group's inability to settle its liabilities in the absence of the Disposal.

The decision to not charge any interest rate on the Shenzhen Sky Alliance Loan upon Completion was a commercial decision between the Company and the Purchaser based upon the structure of the entire Disposal and the capital commitments of the Group.

Due to the deteriorating performance and excessive liabilities of the Disposal Group, the Company has been seeking to dispose of the Disposal Group. As at 31 December 2020, the Disposal Group had liabilities of approximately RMB2.38 billion with an unaudited consolidated net liabilities position of approximately RMB0.84 billion. The Disposal Group has indebtedness due to Independent Third Parties of (i) approximately RMB51.57 million (comprising bank borrowings of RMB40 million, interests on other borrowings of RMB10.07 million and outstanding management fee of RMB1.5 million) that are already overdue; and (ii) approximately RMB424.54 million that are due by the end of 2022 of which approximately RMB56.78 million is due by the end of 2021. As disclosed in the section headed "Business of the Group upon Completion" in the letter from the Board in this circular, the Group has several other significant capital commitments with more optimistic prospects than the Disposal Group.

Having considered that (i) approximately 80% of the Shenzhen Sky Alliance Loan will be repaid by 31 March 2022 and the remaining balance will be repaid by 30 June 2023; (ii) there is a default interest of Shenzhen Sky Alliance Loan of 12% per annum default interest rate; (iii) the properties to be pledged under the Property Mortgage with fair values exceeding the value of the Shenzhen Sky Alliance Loan has been provided in favor of the Remaining Group; (iv) the Purchaser being the only prospective buyer of the Disposal Group since 2017; (v) the significant liabilities of the Disposal Group; and (vi) the estimated gain on the Disposal of RMB220.70 million, subject to an audit, the Board is of the opinion that not charging interest under the Shenzhen Sky Alliance Loan is fair and reasonable in the perspective of the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement as a whole and for the timely disposal of the Disposal Group.

Consideration

The Consideration for the Disposal shall be RMB155,290,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$186,348,000). According to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the final consideration amount in HK$ shall refer to the central parity rate of RMB to HK$ announced by the People's Bank of China at the Completion Date which shall be payable in HK$ in cash by the Purchaser to the Company at Completion.

The Consideration was determined based on arm's length negotiations between the Company and the Purchaser with reference to the following factors:

  1. The financial position of the Disposal Group

The Disposal Group recorded unaudited consolidated net liabilities of approximately RMB839.42 million as at 31 December 2020.

- 16 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Taking into account (i) the Valuation of the inventories of approximately RMB821.98 million as assessed by the Independent Valuer; (ii) the estimated aggregate amount of deferred tax liabilities, including but not limited to land appreciation tax, sales tax, value-added tax, stamp duty, enterprise income tax and urban maintenance and construction tax arising from the revaluation of the inventories, of approximately RMB300.90 million; (iii) the Valuation of the investment properties of approximately RMB1,186.41 million as assessed by the Independent Valuer; (iv) the estimated deferred tax liabilities arising from the revaluation of the investment properties of approximately RMB0.20 million; and (v) the estimated increase in consolidated net assets value of the Disposal Group upon the completion of the Debt Restructuring as of 31 December 2020 of approximately RMB772.40 million, the adjusted unaudited consolidated net assets value of the Disposal Group was approximately RMB120.42 million (equivalent to approximately HK$144.50 million) as at 31 December 2020 assuming the Completion took place as at 31 December 2020.

  1. The financial performance and prospects of the Disposal Group

The Disposal Group recorded net losses of approximately RMB357.30 million and RMB184.85 million for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Disposal Group has two segments, namely the property development segment in Guangdong Province and the property leasing segment. For the property development segment in Guangdong Province, no more profit would be generated after the sale of the remaining unsold units as Le Paysage is the only existing project available for sale. For the property leasing segment, it is expected that the net loss would continue to worsen as the occupancy rate of the investment properties has been decreasing.

Please refer to the section headed "REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL" below for the financial performance of these two segments.

  1. The lack of potential buyers for the Disposal Group

The Group has been approached by a potential buyer in 2017 to acquire only the investment properties of the Disposal Group. However, the Group and the potential buyer could not agree on the terms of the disposal as the buyer did not agree to purchase all the remaining inventories of the Disposal Group and the potential buyer did not want to assume any liabilities of the Disposal Group. Since then, the Group has received no interests or offers for the acquisition of the Disposal Group. Given the condition of the investment properties, the decreasing occupancy rate and increasing spending through online retail shift from in-store retail, the Group does not expect that there will be offers at a higher offer price than the Consideration.

  1. The Shenzhen Sky Alliance Loan

The repayment of the Shenzhen Sky Alliance Loan which is estimated, as at the Latest Practicable Date, to be RMB501,749,000 at Completion (equivalent to approximately HK$602,099,000), is subject to the actual Completion Date according to the Shenzhen Sky Alliance Loan Agreements to be entered into at Completion under the Repayment Arrangement.

The Disposal Group recorded unaudited consolidated net liabilities of approximately RMB839.42 million as at 31 December 2020.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

The Disposal represents an opportunity for the Group to (i) sell all the remaining unsold units of Le Paysage in one transaction; (ii) realise its investment in Hong Long Plaza; (iii) focus and deploy its resources on the business of the Remaining Group; and (iv) reduce the debts of the Group.

  1. Sale of the remaining unsold units in Le Paysage

The pre-sale of Le Paysage began in 2013 and as at 31 December 2020, approximately 14% of the total saleable area of Le Paysage remained unsold. Le Paysage was a property developed by the Group for sale in its ordinary and usual course of business. The sluggish sales in 2019, which continued throughout the year ended 31 December 2020 was attributable to the tightening measures on mortgage applications and quotas on residential property purchases per individual and the COVID-19 outbreak which severely impacted the local PRC and global economy. The Disposal will allow the Group to realise, in one transaction, all the remaining unsold units of Le Paysage.

- 22 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. Realisation of the Group's investment in Hong Long Plaza

The occupancy rate of Gang Long City Shopping Centre held by the Disposal Group was approximately 82% for the year ended 31 December 2017, which deteriorated to 67% and 60% for the years ended 31 December 2018 and 2019 respectively. Such deterioration is mainly attributable to the intense competition resulting from other modern shopping centres that were opened in Baoan District (i.e. among others, Uniwalk (壹方城) and Hai Ya Mega Mall (海雅繽紛城)). For the year ended 31 December 2020, the occupancy rate further deteriorated to 58% which is mainly attributable to the COVID-19 outbreak which resulted in country wide and localised lock downs in the PRC in the first half of 2020 which severely impacted retail establishments.

In light of the expected continued increase in the supply of retail space in Shenzhen and a shift from in-store retail to online shopping and the impact from the COVID-19 outbreak, the Board believes that it is unlikely that the occupancy rate of Gang Long City Shopping Centre will improve and the property leasing segment will turn around from its loss-making position.

The leasing of the properties held by the Disposal Group in Hong Long Plaza represents the Group's entire property leasing business before the completion of the acquisition of the entire interest in Dongyang Xinguang.

As shown in the tables above, the property leasing and management and operation malls segment made up approximately 72.19% of the Group's loss whilst only contributing approximately 19.58% of the Group's revenue for the year ended 31 December 2020. The property leasing business of the Disposal Group made up approximately 72.07% of the Group's loss of approximately RMB418,418,000 whilst only contributing approximately 18.09% of the Group's revenue for the year ended 31 December 2020. The two segments of travel related products and services and hotel and integrated resort general consultancy services generated segment profit while the property leasing and property development segments recorded segment losses for the year ended 31 December 2019 and, all the segments other than the property leasing segment generated segment profit for the year ended 31 December 2018.

Reference is made to paragraphs 32 to 35 of the Stock Exchange's guidance letter HKEX-GL96-18 in relation to a listed issuer's material reliance on various parties. As disclosed above, the majority of the Group's revenue is derived from the travel related products and services segment (the "Travel Business") and even more so when excluding the revenue derived from Summit Ascent which is also a company listed on the Stock Exchange. The majority of the revenue of the Travel Business is derived from products sourced from and the sale of products and services to Sun City Gaming Promotion, a company held by Mr. Chau who is a connected person of the Company with the remainder of the Travel Business revenue derived from Independent Third Parties.

- 24 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In regards to the Company's relationship with Mr. Chau, as the Travel Business is mutually beneficial to both parties and as the controlling Shareholder of the Company, Mr. Chau has a material interest in the Company, the business relationship between the Company and Mr. Chau in relation to the Travel Business is unlikely to be terminated.

The Board has been aware of the Group's material reliance on Mr. Chau through the Travel Business and has been actively diversifying the Travel Business product offerings in recent years by extending its products from hotel accommodation products and ferry tickets to travel packages and other entertainment packages and hotel accommodation products have also been extended from Macau to other geographical locations, including Cambodia and Vietnam, which were sourced from Independent Third Parties, over the past few years resulting in an increasing trend in the proportion of revenue derived from Independent Third Parties.

The Group has also been actively diversifying into new business segments in recent years through (i) the Hoiana project; (ii) the development of the Main Hotel Casino; (iii) the acquisition of Dongyang Xinguang; (iv) the provision of hotel and integrated resort general consultancy services; (v) the acquisition of lands for resort development in Japan; (vi) the acquisition of Summit Ascent; and (vii) the planned food and beverage business. Further details on the aforementioned developments and projects are disclosed in the below section headed "Business of the Group upon Completion".

Also, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Travel Business has been scaled down considerably and as the travel restrictions across the world including the PRC, Hong Kong and Macau are largely still in place as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Travel Business is expected to further diminish for the year ending 31 December 2021 whereas the Group's other business segments are expected to expand with the Group's support as the Group is primarily focusing on diversifying and expanding its business separate from the Travel Business which will reduce the Group's reliance on the Travel Business.

Business of the Group upon Completion

Upon Completion, the principal business segments of the Group will comprise (i) property development in Japan; (ii) property leasing and management and operation of malls in the PRC; (iii) provision of hotel and integrated resort general consultancy services in Vietnam; (iv) provision of travel related products and services; (v) through SunTrust Group, the development and operation of an integrated resort in the Philippines; (vi) through the SA Group, the operation of the hotel and gaming business in the Integrated Entertainment Zone of the Primorye Region in the Russian Federation; and (vii) other businesses under development.

- 25 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. The sale of travel-related products and services segment
    1. The sale of hotel accommodation products is only one of the revenue streams of the sale of travel-related products and services segment. Since 2018, the Group has expanded (i) the scope of travel-related products offered to transportation tickets, event tickets and bundle products; and (ii) its geographical reach to Vietnam, Cambodia and Turkey, which have been sourced from independent suppliers. As of 31 December 2020, there were 31 employees and 2 consultants employed under this segment which are expected to be capable of handling the expansion of this segment. The Group plans to (i) expand its offerings to include the sale of hotel accommodation products in other regions, in particular the Russian Federation and other Asian countries like Japan and Philippines; and (ii) enhance its platform, in particular the electronic platform to broaden its customer base. This segment is under continual development by the Group and such expansion will not require any significant capital commitments.
    2. Charter flight offerings.
      In January 2020, the Group completed the acquisition of an aircraft. The Group commenced the provision of charter flights in 2021 and such relevant revenue generated will be recorded as part of the Group's revenue classified under the Group's travel related products and services segment.
  2. Operation of the hotel and gaming business in the Integrated Entertainment Zone of Primorye Region in the Russian Federation

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group directly and indirectly held approximately 69.66% equity interest in Summit Ascent, the shares of which are listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange (stock code:102).

Summit Ascent holds approximately 77.5% of the controlling interest in an integrated resort named "Tigre de Cristal" in the far east region of the Russian Federation. Phase I 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, 330 electronic gaming machines and a 121-room5-star hotel with food and beverage and retail outlets. As of 31 December 2020, there were 1,081 employees employed under SA Group. Phase II of Tigre de Cristal will triple the current number of hotel rooms, and double the number of tables and electronic gaming machines. Additional employees will be recruited to handle the expanded operations before the opening of Phase II of Tigre de Cristal.

Phase II of Tigre de Cristal is currently under development and expected to commence operations in 2023 or a later date given the progress of the pre-construction phase has been affected due to the continual impact of COVID-19. The SA Group pins hope on the success of the vaccination programme in Russia in easing the impact of COVID-19 on the pre-construction phase of the Phase II development of Tigre de Cristal and helping to meet its original construction and development schedule. The development of Phase II of Tigre de Cristal is estimated to require a total investment of approximately US$200 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1,550 million).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(iii) Food and beverage business

As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 21 February 2021, Shenzhen Sky Alliance entered into an memorandum of understanding in relation to the leasing of certain premises. The Group intends to refurbish such premises into a modern food street style cafeteria area with the concept of integrating multiple small scale catering and food industry stores which will commence as a new business segment of the Group. The Group will utilise its own internal food and beverage team dedicated to enhancing various food and beverage outlets across the Group's property developments and projects. The Group is considering recruiting 5 more employees depending on the development scope of the modern food street style cafeteria and the detailed headcount will be finalised around the end of 2021 to early 2022. The estimated development cost of the modern food street style cafeteria is approximately RMB15 million.

(iv) Reduction of liabilities of the Group

As a result of the Debt Restructuring and the Disposal, the outstanding liabilities of the Disposal Group of approximately RMB791.68 million (without taking into account the amount of the Shenzhen Sky Alliance Loan and the CITIC Loans) due by the Disposal Group and the CITIC Loans will no longer be part of the Group's outstanding obligations upon Completion and the proceeds from the repayment of the Shenzhen Sky Alliance Loan will also be utilised to repay other borrowings of the Remaining Group.

Assuming the Disposal was completed as at 31 December 2020, according to the terms and structure of the Disposal as disclosed in this circular, the Group expects to record a gain on the Disposal of approximately RMB220.70 million, subject to an audit. Accordingly, assuming the Debt Restructuring is completed prior to Completion, the Company's consolidated net assets value is expected to increase from approximately RMB4,600.61 million to approximately RMB4,821.31 million as at 31 December 2020 as result of the Disposal.

As at 31 December 2020, the Disposal Group had total assets of approximately RMB3.02 billion and 63 employees and consultants representing approximately 33.44% and 4.86% of the Group's total assets of approximately RMB9.03 billion and 1,295 employees and consultants respectively. Upon Completion, the Group would still retain approximately RMB6.01 billion in total assets and 1,232 employees and consultants. If also excluding the SA Group, the Group would still retain approximately RMB3.37 billion in total assets and 151 employees and consultants.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Upon Completion, the property leasing and management and operation of malls segment will be represented by the business performance of Dongyang Xinguang, which was acquired in November 2020. Despite the impact of COVID-19, the occupancy rates of the malls operated by Dongyang Xinguang as of 31 December 2020 were 87.02% and 79.28% and based on existing contracts with tenants and customers, the Board expects the revenue for this particular segment to grow steadily. In the meantime, with the expected eventual uplift of various travel restrictions, the full opening of Hoiana is expected to occur in the near future, which will give rise to an increase in revenue from the hotel and integrated resort general consultancy services segment. Given the aforementioned, the Board expects the aggregate revenue from these two business segments will outweigh the revenue from the Travel Business and become the major contributors to the Group's revenue (excluding the operation of integrated resorts in Philippines and Russian Federation) and reduce the Group's overall reliance on its controlling Shareholder. In addition, the Group is expected to derive revenue from the resorts to be developed in Japan, which have already commenced preliminary preparation works.

In its current state, the Disposal Group is not contributing to mitigate the Group's reliance on the Travel Business as the Board does not expect the Disposal Group to be profitable for the foreseeable future. It is expected that the performance of the Disposal Group will continue to be unsatisfactory as there is an irreversible growing trend of online shopping which has been much accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Board does not expect that there will be a change of the trend in the consumers' behaviour for online shopping even after the COVID-19 pandemic has been resolved. It is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders not to continue to allocate resources and efforts in the Disposal Group with dim prospect and to realise the investment in the Disposal Group and redirect the resources to other business segments with much better prospects. The Board also considers that the Disposal Group will actively hinder and potentially delay the Group's efforts in diversifying and expanding its business segments as in the case that the Disposal is not completed, the significant liabilities and losses of the Disposal Group will hinder the Group's cash flow which would also potentially impact the Group's active development of its other businesses.

The Disposal is critical to the development of the abovementioned projects as the significant reduction in the Group's outstanding liabilities and improvement in the profitability of the Group will allow for easier sourcing of debt financing and negotiation of better financing terms due to the Group's significantly improved gearing ratio. The diversification into the new food and beverage business is also reliant on the Disposal as in the case that the Disposal does not proceed the Group will have to prioritise its existing business segments and settling outstanding liabilities.

Having considered all of the above mentioned factors, the Board considers that the terms of the Disposal and the transactions contemplated thereunder (including the Consideration) are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable, and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Aside from the Disposal and the lease in relation the food and beverage business segment as disclosed in this Circular, the Company has no intention to further dispose of any other segments of its existing business or acquire any new business upon Completion.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL

As at 28 February 2021, no deposits has been pledged and no facilities has been utilised.

Pledged assets

The Group pledged the entire equity interests of subsidiaries, certain of its property, operating right and equipment, investment properties, inventories and bank deposits for credit facilities granted to the Group.

They are of the opinion that the 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 Group's existing resources and upon successful implementation of the following measures which will generate adequate financing and operating cash inflows for the Group:

  • SunTrust will be succeeded in raising fund to the extent of US$350 million (equivalent to approximately RMB2,359 million), through debt and/or equity financings to satisfy the total funding need in the amount of US$350 million (equivalent to approximately RMB2,359 million) of the construction and development of the Main Hotel Casino in the next twelve months from the date of this circular.
    In the unlikely event that the financings of US$350 million (equivalent to approximately RMB2,359 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 unsubscribed portion of HK$628 million (equivalent to approximately RMB523 million) of the HK$6,000 million 5.00% perpetual securities of the Company ("Perpetual Securities") agreed to be issued by the Company (as issuer) and subscribed by Star Hope Limited ("Star Hope") (as subscriber) pursuant to the subscription agreement dated 18 August 2020 and the continuing financing support from Mr. Chau if and when needed by the Group and his confirmation that he will procure companies controlled by him not to request for repayment of amounts due to him by the Group as stated in a letter of undertaking from Mr. Chau which will hold good for a period of 15 months from the Latest Practicable Date have been factored when assessing the working capital sufficiency forecast of the Group.

APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

  • The Group had certain loans from non-controlling shareholders of MSRD with principal amount of JPY1,323,000,000 (equivalent to approximately RMB80,438,000) pursuant to the loan and security agreement dated 30 August 2019 and the supplemental agreement dated 21 July 2020. The maturity date of the loans will be 21 July 2021. The 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.
  • The non-controlling shareholders of MSRD will inject approximately JPY200 million (equivalent to approximately RMB12.2 million), representing the consideration for subscription of 49% of new shares to be issued by MSRD or further shareholders' loan during 2021.
  • Mr. Chau, its controlling shareholder, will provide financial support to the 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 Group, the Board is of the view that Mr. Chau has sufficient financial resources to render his financial support to the Group.

After taking into account of the 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 Group has sufficient working capital for its requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date of this circular.

Notwithstanding the above, significant uncertainties exist as to whether the Group can achieve the plans and measures described above. The sufficiency of the Group's working capital to satisfy its requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date of this circular is highly dependent on the 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 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.

Dear Sirs,

Re.: Valuation of various properties in the People's Republic of China (the "Properties" or the

"Property")

Background

In accordance with your instructions to value the property interests held by Suncity Group Holdings Limited ("the Company") and its subsidiaries (together referred to as "the Group") located in the People's Republic of China ("the PRC"), we confirm that we have carried out inspections, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market value of such property interests as at 31 January 2021 ("the Valuation Date") for the purpose of incorporation into the circular issued by the Company on the date hereof (the "Circular").

Our valuation is our opinion of the market value of the property interests. Market Value, in accordance with International Valuation Standard published by International Valuation Standard Council ("IVSC"), is defined as "the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arms-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion".

Market Value is understood as the value of a property estimated without regard to costs of sale or purchase (or transaction) and without offset for any associated taxes or potential taxes.

- II-1 -

APPENDIX II VALUATION REPORT ON THE PROPERTIES

Valuation Methodology(ies)

In valuing the property interest of property no. 1, we have adopted the income approach and market approach.

For the commercial portion of property no. 1, we have valued the property by income approach that taking into account the current rent passing of the property interest and the reversionary potential of the tenancy(ies). In determining the market value of residential portion and the reversionary potential of the tenancy(ies), we have adopted the market approach with reference to the recent sale transactions and the proposed leasing and for similar premises in the proximity.

In valuing the property interest of property no. 2, we have valued the property by market approach assuming sale in their existing state by making reference to comparable sales evidences as available in the relevant market.

General Assumption

Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the owner sells the property interest on the open market in its existing state without the benefit of a deferred terms contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement which would serve to increase the value of the property interest. In addition, no forced sale situation in any manner is assumed in our valuation.

No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charge, mortgage or amount owing on the Properties nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the Properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect their values.

No environmental impact study has been ordered or made. Full compliance with applicable national, provincial and local environmental regulations and laws is assumed unless otherwise stated, defined, and considered in the valuation report. It is also assumed that all required licenses, consents, or other legislative or administrative authority from any local, provincial, or national government private entity or organization either have been or can be obtained or renewed for any use which the valuation report cover.

We have assumed that all consents, approvals and licenses from relevant government authorities for the Properties have been granted without any onerous conditions or undue time delay which might affect their values. It is assumed that all applicable zoning and use regulations and restrictions have been complied with unless nonconformity has been stated, defined, and considered in the valuation report. Moreover, we have assumed that the utilization of the Properties and improvements is within the boundaries of the Properties described and that no encroachment or trespass exists, unless noted in the valuation report.

- II-2 -

APPENDIX II VALUATION REPORT ON THE PROPERTIES

Title investigation

We have been provided with copies of extracts of title documents relating to the Properties. However, we have not conducted land searches on the Properties and we have not inspected the original documents to verify ownership or to verify any amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us. No responsibility is assumed for legal matters in nature and no investigation has been made to the title of or any liabilities against the Properties appraised. In this appraisal, it is presumed that the Properties' titles are good and marketable, and there are no encumbrances on the Properties which cannot be cleared through normal processes. For the purpose of title establishment, it is advised to seek opinion from competent legal consultants.

In undertaking our valuation for the property interests in the PRC, we have relied on the legal opinion dated 4 February 2021 provided by the Group's PRC legal advisers, Guangdong Yandao Law Firm and the legal opinion dated 8 April 2021 provided by the Group's another PRC legal advisers, Shanghai Allbright Law Office Shenzhen Branch.

Sources of information

We have relied to a considerable extent on information provided by the Group and have accepted the advice given to us by the Group on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenure, occupancy, lettings, site and floor areas and in the identification of the Property and other relevant matter. We have no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Company which is material to the valuation. We have also been advised by the Group that no material facts had been concealed or omitted in the information provided to us and have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld. All documents have been used for reference only. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view.

All dimensions, measurements, and areas included in the valuation report are based on information contained in the documents provided to us by the Group and are approximations only. No on-site measurement has been taken.

Site investigation

We have inspected the exteriors of the Property in respect of which we have been provided with such information as we have required for the purpose of our valuations.

We have not carried out a structural survey nor have we inspected woodwork or other parts of the structures which are covered, unexposed or inaccessible and we are therefore unable to report that any such parts of the Property is free from defect though in the course of our inspections we did not note any serious defects. No tests were carried out on any of the services.

We have not carried out an investigation to determine the suitability of the ground conditions or the services for any property developments to be erected thereon. Our valuation is on the basis that these aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary expense or delay will be incurred during the construction period.

- II-3 -

APPENDIX II VALUATION REPORT ON THE PROPERTIES

Valuation Standards

In valuing the property interests, our valuation has been prepared in accordance with the RICS Valuation - Global Standards published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors ("RICS"), the International Valuation Standards published by IVSC and the requirements set out in Chapter 5 of and Practice Note 12 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and Rule 11 of the Code on Takeovers and Mergers issued by Securities and Futures Commission.

For the purpose of compliance with Rule 11.3 of the Code on Takeovers and Mergers and as advised by the Company, the potential tax liabilities which may arise from the sale of the Properties in the PRC include: (i) land appreciation tax, (ii) sales tax, (iii) value-added tax, (iv) stamp duty, (v) enterprise income tax and (vi) urban maintenance and construction tax. It is unlikely that such tax liability will be crystallised in the recent future as the Company has no intention to dispose of or transfer the relevant property interests.

Service terms

Unless otherwise stated, all values are denominated in Renminbi (RMB). The exchange rates used in valuing the Property are the rates as at the Valuation Date, which was HK$1: RMB0.8293.

7. LITIGATION

As disclosed in the annual results announcement of the Company for the year ended 31 December

2020, a subsidiary of the Group (the "Defendant") was involved in the Outstanding Litigation with an individual (the "Plaintiff") in respect of the right to use of an area located at certain investment properties of the Group (the "Unit") during 2013. 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 Higher People's Court of Guangdong Province handed down the re-trial judgment to revoke the judgment of the first and second hearings and remanded the case for a re-trial in the People's Court of Shenzhen.

According to the judgements of the court dated 7 May 2019 and 27 May 2019, the Seized Premises with fair value of approximately RMB397,380,000 as at 31 December 2020 were 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.

The Defendant has also filed for an appeal with respect to the September Judgement. The second hearing was held on 14 April 2021 and no judgment has been handed down 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 Outstanding Litigation. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has made provision of RMB27,800,000 for potential liability of the Claim.

In addition, the Group was involved in several litigations in relation to the construction of the 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 Group was remote.
