INFORMATION OF THE DISPOSAL COMPANY
The Disposal Company is a sino-foreign joint venture enterprise established in the PRC with limited liability on 18 May 2018. It is principally engaged in property development in the PRC.
As at the date of this announcement, the Group, through Fujian Sinco and Grand International, hold 37% equity interest in the Disposal Company, the remaining 37% and 26% is owned by the Purchaser and an Independent Third Party respectively.
The Disposal Company is a project company and its sole project is a mixed property development project called Zhongnan Shang Yue Cheng (中南上悅城) situated at the junction of Taiping Road and Zhenghe Jiu Road, Fengdong New Town, Xixian District, Xi'an city, Shaanxi Province, with a construction gross floor area of approximately 625,630 square metres for residential and commercial uses. The Project is currently under construction with certain block of properties already launched for pre-sales. The Project is expected to be completed in 2021.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE DISPOSAL GROUP
Set out below is the financial information of the Disposal Group as extracted from its consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises of PRC:

RMB'000 | RMB'000 | |

Total assets | 2,133,981 | 2,931,942 |
Net assets | 411,608 | 384,581 |
EXPECTED FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Upon Completion, the Group would cease to have any interest in each member of the Disposal Group and accordingly, the Disposal Company would cease to be an associate of the Group. As such, the financial results of the Disposal Company will no longer be accounted for as interest in an associate in the financial statements of the Group.
It is expected that the Group will realise an unaudited gain of approximately RMB109,349,000 (before deducting relevant taxes and expenses) from the Disposal, being the difference between (i) the Consideration and (ii) the unaudited carrying amount of the investment in the Disposal Company as at 30 June 2019 of approximately RMB252,979,000, which is classified by the Group as investment in an associate accounted for using the equity method. Shareholders should note that the actual amount of the gain or loss on the Disposal to be recognised in the consolidated financial statement of the Company depends on the net asset value of the Disposal Company as at the Completion Date and the review by the Company's auditors upon finalisation of the consolidated financial statements of the Company and therefore will be different from the amount mentioned above.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Disposal for the general working capital of the Group and the financing of future investments should suitable opportunities arise.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL
The Company is an investment holding company and its principal subsidiaries are engaged in property development and property investment business in the PRC.
The Group owns 37% equity interest in the Disposal Company and could not exercise control on the development of the Project. As the development of the Project is still at the early stage, it is anticipated that the Group will have to devote significant amount of investment and resources before its completion. The Directors are of the view that the Disposal would allow the Group to focus on other core property development projects which the Group has control and optimise resources allocation within the Group.
Based on the above and the assessment set out in the paragraph headed "Expected Financial Effect of the Disposal and Use of Proceeds" above, the Directors consider the Disposal represents a good opportunity for the Group to realise a considerable gain in its investment in the Disposal Company. The net proceeds to be received from the Disposal upon Completion would also enhance the Group's liquidity and enable the Group to diversify and explore other investment opportunities.
- 4 -
The Directors also consider that the entering into of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are on normal commercial terms which are fair and reasonable and the Disposal is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As one of the applicable percentage ratios calculated under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Disposal exceeds 5% but is less than 25%, the Disposal constitutes a disclosable transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting and announcement requirements, but is exempt from the circular and Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
