- 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pursuant to the Deed of Waiver, the Company agreed, during the period from and including the date of the Deed of Amendment to the Effective Date or the date the Deed of Amendment is terminated (whichever is earlier), (i) to grant to Innovative an unconditional waiver in respect of the obligation of Innovative to pay the interest on the Convertible Bonds accrued from 28 July 2018 to 27 July 2019 (''Upcoming Interest Payment'') and not to take any steps to enforce or make demand for the Upcoming Interest Payment; (ii) not to exercise any right or remedy that the Bondholder would otherwise be entitled to exercise in respect of the Convertible Bonds as a result of the occurrence of any events of default arising from or in connection with the Upcoming Interest Payment; and (iii) not to take any steps, directly or indirectly, to wind up or appoint a receiver, administrator, administrative receiver or compulsory manager over, or to commence any other insolvency related proceedings (or any analogous proceedings in any other jurisdiction) against, Innovative or any assets of Innovative.

Pursuant to the Deed of Amendment, if any of the Conditions Precedent has not been fulfilled at or before 5:00 pm on the Long Stop Date, the Deed of Amendment will automatically be terminated and will have no further effect on the Company and Innovative. In such circumstances, it is stipulated in the Deed of Waiver that, Innovative shall within 15 Business Days from the Long Stop Date pay to the Company (i) the 2019 Interest in the sum of HK$25,025,000; and (ii) the additional interest calculated at 15% per annum on HK$25,025,000 accrued from 28 July 2019 to the actual date of payment (both days inclusive) on the basis of a 365-day year. Accordingly, all the Original Conditions shall remain in full force and effect and Innovative shall pay the interest in accordance with the Original Conditions as prescribed in the Convertible Bonds.

  1. INFORMATION OF THE COMPANY

The Company is an investment holding company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the development, manufacture and sales of pharmaceutical products in the PRC, the marketing and distribution of pharmaceutical products to customers in the PRC, and the business of commercial exploitation and development of genome-related technology.

III INFORMATION OF INNOVATIVE AND SMART ASCENT

Innovative is an investment holding company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the trading of beauty products and equipment, the securities investment and research, development and commercialisation of the oral insulin product (the ''Product'').

Smart Ascent is a 51% owned subsidiary of Innovative and the remaining 49% of Smart Ascent is owned by the Group. Smart Ascent and its subsidiaries (the ''Smart Ascent Group'') are principally involved in the development of the Product, which is still at its clinical trial stage. To satisfy the working capital requirements of Smart Ascent Group, Innovative and the Company through their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries as lenders and Smart Ascent as borrower entered into a shareholders' loan agreement on 27 July 2018 for a loan to Smart Ascent amounting to

- 8 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

HK$30,000,000 in total, contributed as to 51% by Innovative and as to 49% by the Group. Smart Ascent had drawn down HK$10,000,000 and HK$20,000,000 of the loan in September 2018 and August 2019, respectively.

Smart Ascent Group is preparing to commence part B of phase III clinical trial of the Product which is typically considered as the final stage of clinical trial before commercialisation and to the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, Innovative has been allocating its internal resources to finance the development of the Product and intends to inject additional resources to the Smart Ascent Group to facilitate the development of the Product.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Innovative holds approximately 19.14% of shareholding of the Company and hence is a connected person of the Company (within the meaning of the Listing Rules).

IV. EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS

Upon the Proposed Amendments becoming effective, it is expected of the following financial impacts to the Group:

Earnings

Gain on receipt of Additional Interest

For the year ended 31 March 2019, the Group received interest income of approximately HK$25,025,000 from the Convertible Bonds. Pursuant to the Proposed Amendments, no interest will be received from the Convertible Bonds throughout the 2019 Interest Period and the 2020 Interest Period. However, there will be a generation of an additional interest income by the maturity date of the Convertible Bonds, i.e. on 28 July 2021. Innovative has to pay the Additional Interest on 28 July 2021 for the extension of payment date of the 2019 Interest and the 2020 Interest, being the amount HK$11,261,250, representing increases of (i) 15% per annum on the 2019 Interest multiply by two for the 2-year extension and (ii) 15% per annum on the 2020 Interest for the 1-year extension. Hence, the implied interest rates of the Convertible Bonds after completion of the Proposed Amendments will increase to 4.025% and 4.55% for the 2019 Interest Period and the 2020 Interest Period respectively, whereas the original interest rate is 3.5% for each of the 2019 Interest Period and the 2020 Interest Period. The gain of the Additional Interest as to approximately HK$7,500,000 for the 2019 Interest Period and approximately HK$3,800,000 for the 2020 Interest Period, which will be accounted for in each of the years ending 31 March 2020, 2021 and 2022, as to approximately HK$2,500,000, HK$6,300,000 and HK$2,500,000, would increase the total equity of the Company by the financial year 2022. The net cash proceeds of the Additional Interest would improve the overall cash flow of the Group in the financial year 2022.

- 9 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Assets and liabilities

As disclosed in the Company's published annual report for the year ended 31 March 2019, the audited total assets and liabilities of the Group were approximately HK$1,196,086,000 and HK$134,515,000 respectively as at 31 March 2019, and the audited total current assets and current liabilities were HK$208,642,000 and HK$79,738,000 respectively as at 31 March 2019. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group's current assets and current liabilities are expected to be HK$192,000,000 and HK$70,000,000 respectively, arriving at net current assets of approximately HK$122,000,000. It is expected that the Proposed Amendments will have no immediate material impact on the liquidity of the Group for the financial years of 2020 and 2021.

  1. REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS

The Directors are of the view that the Proposed Amendments do not constitute a material variation to the terms of the Convertible Bonds. The Convertible Bonds will be due on 28 July 2021. The Company has received from Innovative the respective payments of interest on the Convertible Bonds in accordance with the respective due dates on 28 July 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 respectively. The Company has been approached by Innovative for the extension to pay the 2019 Interest and the 2020 Interest (''Extension'') and the Additional Interest has been arrived at after arm's length negotiation between the Company and Innovative. The Directors have considered that the Extension will not affect the business operations of the Group having taken into account the Group's cash position, the cash flows and working capital requirements of business operations for the coming three years. The Directors also noticed that the Additional Interest shall exceed the interest income from placing bank deposits. Therefore, the Directors consider the return from the Additional Interest in the Proposed Amendments will bring benefit and generate more income to the Company.

Having considered the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors after considering the advice from the Independent Financial Adviser) are of the view that the Proposed Amendments are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

VI. LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the transaction contemplated under the Deed of Amendment is more than 25%, the transaction contemplated under the Deed of Amendment constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

As at the Latest Practicable Date and to the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, Innovative is a substantial shareholder of the Company who holds approximately 19.14% of the shareholding of the Company and is hence a connected person of the Company within the meaning of the Listing Rules. As such, the Proposed Amendments contemplated under the Deed of Amendment constitutes a connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

- 10 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Proposed Amendments are therefore subject to the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapters 14 and 14A of the Listing Rules.

In view of the foregoing, the Company will convene a SGM to seek the approval of the Independent Shareholders on the Proposed Amendments. The Company has established the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders in connection with the Proposed Amendments and to advise the Independent Shareholders on how to vote, taking into account the recommendations of Independent Financial Adviser.

VII. SGM

The Company will convene the SGM at which an ordinary resolution will be proposed to approve the Proposed Amendments. In accordance with the Listing Rules, the votes at the SGM shall be taken by poll.

Set out on pages 36 to 37 to this circular is the notice convening the SGM to be held at Forum Room II & III, Basement 2, Regal Hongkong Hotel, 88 Yee Wo Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong on Thursday, 17 October 2019 at 11:00 a.m. at which an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the SGM to approve the Proposed Amendments.

Abstain from voting

To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, Innovative is a substantial shareholder of the Company who holds approximately 19.14% of the shareholding of the Company and is hence a connected person of the Company within the meaning of the Listing Rules. Thus, Innovative and its associates shall be required to abstain from voting on the resolution proposed to be passed at the relevant SGM to approve the Proposed Amendments.

VIII. RECOMMENDATION

The Independent Board Committee has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether the Proposed Amendments are fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and to advise the Independent Shareholders as to how to vote. Your attention is drawn to the advice of the Independent Board Committee set out in its letter on page 13 of this circular. Your attention is also drawn to the letter of advice from Lego to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Proposed Amendments set out on pages 14 to 26 of this circular.

The Independent Board Committee, having taken into account the advice of Lego, considers that although it is not in the ordinary and usual course of the business of the Company, the Proposed Amendments and the transaction contemplated thereby are on normal commercial terms which are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

- 11 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Independent Board Committee therefore recommends the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to approve the Proposed Amendments and the transaction contemplated thereby at the SGM.

IX. ACTION TO BE TAKEN

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Proposed Amendments and the Deed of Amendment 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 issued by the Company to the Shareholders dated 16 September 2019 (the ''Circular''), of which this letter forms part.

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the transaction contemplated under the Deed of Amendment is more than 25%, it constitutes a major transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. With reference to the Letter from the Board, Innovative is a substantial shareholder of the Company who holds approximately 19.14% of the shareholding of the Company and is hence a connected person of the Company within the meaning of the Listing Rules.

Given that Innovative is a connected person of the Company, Innovative and its associates are therefore required to abstain from voting on the resolution proposed to be passed at the relevant SGM for approving the Deed of Amendment, the Proposed Amendments and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

The Independent Board Committee comprising all the independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Fang Lin Hu, Mr. Xue Jing Lun and Ms. Jin Song, has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether the terms of the Deed of Amendment, the Proposed Amendments and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable so far as the Company and Independent Shareholders are concerned and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and to advise the Independent Shareholders on how to vote in respect of the relevant resolution to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Deed of Amendment, the Proposed Amendments and the transactions contemplated thereunder. As the Independent Financial Adviser, our role is to give an independent opinion to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in such regard.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Lego did not have any relationships or interests with the Company that could reasonably be regarded as relevant to the independence of Lego. In the last two years, there was no engagement between the Group and Lego. Apart from normal professional fees paid or payable to us in connection with this appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser, no arrangements exist whereby we have received or will receive any fees or benefits from the Company. Accordingly, we are qualified to give independent advice in respect of the Deed of Amendment, the Proposed Amendments and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

BASIS OF OUR OPINION

In formulating our opinion and advice, we have relied on (i) the information and facts contained or referred to in the Circular; (ii) the information supplied by the Group and its advisers;

  1. the opinions expressed by the management of the Company; and (iv) our review of the relevant public information.

information or representations provided to us by the management of the Company are true, accurate, complete and not misleading in all respects at the time they were made and continued to be so until the date of the SGM.

We consider that we have reviewed the sufficient information currently available to reach an informed view and to justify our reliance on the accuracy of the information contained in the Circular so as to provide a reasonable basis for our recommendation. We have not, however, carried out any independent verification of the information provided, representations made or opinion expressed by the management of the Company, nor have we conducted any form of in-depth investigation into the business, affairs, operations, financial position or future prospects of the Company or Innovative or any of their respective subsidiaries and associates.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our recommendation in respect of the Proposed Amendments, we have considered the following principal factors and reasons:

1. Information on the Group

The Company is an investment holding company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the development, manufacture and sales of pharmaceutical products in the PRC, the marketing and distribution of pharmaceutical products to customers in the PRC, and the business of commercial exploitation and development of genome-related technology.

The following table summarises the audited consolidated financial information of the Company for the years ended 31 March 2018 and 2019 as extracted from the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2019 (the ''2019 Annual Report'').

As illustrated in the table above, revenue of the Group increased by approximately 4.0% from HK$85.8 million for the year ended 31 March 2018 to approximately HK89.2 million for the year ended 31 March 2019. The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to the Group's manufactured pharmaceutical sector which recorded a revenue growth of approximately 26.0% from HK$60.2 million for the year ended 31 March 2018 to approximately HK75.8 million for the year ended 31 March 2019. According to the 2019 Annual Report, the revenue growth in this sector was resulted from the continued execution of strategic initiatives by adjusting distribution channels, expanding market coverage through collaboration with distributors and outsourcing service providers with extensive distribution network to promote product awareness in rural areas and communities, which enabled the segment to strengthen its competitive position, enlarge market share and capture new growth opportunities. On the other hand, revenue generated from the trading of pharmaceutical products decreased from approximately HK$25.6 million for the year ended 31 March 2018 to approximately HK$13.4 million for the year ended 31 March 2019, mainly due to the intensified competition from competing products produced by Chinese manufacturers and the temporary suspension of sales for the Group's skin treatment product. In line with the overall increase in revenue, gross profit of the Group increased from approximately HK$42.0 million to approximately HK$49.6 million, representing an increase of approximately 18.0%.

Profit of the Group was significantly affected by its other income and gains and losses, net, which increased from approximately HK$53.0 million for the year ended 31 March 2018 to approximately HK$89.1 million for the year ended 31 March 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to (i) an increase in a net gain of about HK$13.3 million arising from the fair value change of the Group's investments in convertible bonds and (ii) no impairment provision made for unrealised loss related to investments in unlisted funds as compared to about HK$21 million recorded in last year, whereas its fair value loss of about HK$59.0 million arisen in the year was recognised in other reserve other than profit or loss, upon adopting new accounting standard for financial instruments that is effective for the Group's current accounting period. Due to the above, the Group recorded total comprehensive expense of approximately HK$2.6 million for the year ended 31 March 2019.

As at 31 March 2019, the Group recorded total assets and net assets of approximately HK$1,196.1 million and HK$1,061.6 million, respectively, among which cash and bank balances amounted to approximately HK$148.9 million.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Looking forward, the Group considers that the operating environment will be very challenging as the pharmaceutical industry has been undergoing a radical change in its regulatory landscape. However, the Group remains optimistic that the industry will maintain a stable growth driven by mounting demands of accelerated aging population, growing chronic diseases and improving standard of living in China. In addition, as the Group has been placing more focus on reinforcing the fundamentals for development of the Group's manufacturing segment which has demonstrated positive progress in these recent years, the Group believes that the loss-making situation of its imported pharmaceuticals trading segment in the near term would not have material adverse impact on the financial position of the Group, which remains sound.

2. Information on Innovative

According to the Letter from the Board, Innovative is an investment holding company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the trading of beauty products and equipment, securities investment and research, development and commercialisation of the oral insulin product. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Innovative holds approximately 19.14% of shareholding of the Company and hence is a connected person of the Company.

Set out below are the audited consolidated financial information of Innovative for the years ended 31 March 2018 and 2019 as extracted from the annual report of Innovative for the year ended 31 March 2019 (the ''2019 Innovative Annual Report'').

As illustrated in the table above, revenue of Innovative increased from HK$15.8 million for the year ended 31 March 2018 to approximately HK18.6 million for the year ended 31 March 2019. According to the 2019 Innovative Annual Report, the increase in revenue was mainly attributable to the increase in business of the trading of beauty equipment and products segment during the year. However, due to the significant finance cost of approximately

- 18 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

HK$131.7 million, impairment loss on interest in an associate, being the Company, of approximately HK$33.2 million and decrease in fair value of the investments in convertible bonds issued by the Company of approximately HK$56.5 million, Innovative recorded loss of approximately HK$260.9 million for the year ended 31 March 2019. On the other hand, total assets of Innovative primarily comprised of its intangible assets related to the in-process research and development project involving an oral insulin product (the ''Product''), which amounted to approximately HK$1,373.2 million as at 31 March 2018 and 2019. The patents of an invention ''a method of production of oil-phase preparation of oral insulin (一種製備口服 胰島素油相製劑的方法)'' in relation to the Product are registered under the joint names of Fosse Bio-Engineering Development Limited, a subsidiary of Smart Ascent, and Tsinghua University, Beijing granted by State Intellectual Property Office of the PRC and United States Patent and Trademark Office of the United States of America granted on 4 August 2004 and 28 March 2006 respectively and will be expired on 20 April 2021 and 12 April 2022 respectively.

As at 31 March 2019, Innovative has relatively thin cash position of approximately HK$17.1 million. With reference to the announcement of Innovative dated 26 July 2019 (the ''Innovative Disposal Announcement''), Innovative proposed to dispose approximately 19.14% of shareholding of the Company as well as the convertible bonds issued by the Company for a total consideration of HK$270.0 million to Dr. Mao Yumin, the honourary chairman and a substantial shareholder of Innovative (the ''Innovative Disposal''). Innovative intends to utilise the net proceeds from the Innovative Disposal as to, among others, approximately HK$25 million to support the on-going development of part B of phase III clinical trial on the Product for commercialisation.

3. Information on Smart Ascent

Smart Ascent and its subsidiaries (the ''Smart Ascent Group'') are principally involved in the development of the Product, which is still at its clinical trial stage. On 28 July 2014, the Group completed the disposal of 51% equity interest in Smart Ascent and received consideration comprising (i) cash payment of HK$65,000,000; and (ii) the Convertible Bonds. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Smart Ascent is a 51% owned subsidiary of Innovative and the remaining 49% of Smart Ascent is owned by the Group.

To satisfy the working capital requirements of Smart Ascent Group, Innovative and the Company through their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries as lenders and Smart Ascent as borrower entered into a shareholders' loan agreement on 27 July 2018 for a loan to Smart Ascent amounting to HK$30 million in total, contributed as to 51% by Innovative and as to 49% by the Group. Smart Ascent had drawn down HK$10 million and HK$20 million of the loan in September 2018 and August 2019, respectively.

As confirmed by the Directors, the Smart Ascent Group is preparing to commence part B of phase III clinical trial of the Product which is typically considered as the final stage of clinical trial before commercialisation. To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, Innovative has been allocating its internal resources to finance the development

- 19 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

of the Product and intends to inject additional resources to the Smart Ascent Group to facilitate the development of the Product. The timeline for commercialisation of the Product is expected to be in around early 2022.

4. Reasons for and benefits of the Proposed Amendments

According to the Letter from the Board, the Directors are of the view that the Proposed Amendments do not constitute a material variation to the terms of the Convertible Bonds. The Convertible Bonds will be due on 28 July 2021. The Company has received from Innovative the respective payments of interest on the Convertible Bonds in accordance with the respective due dates on 28 July 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 respectively. The Company has been approached by Innovative for the extension to pay the 2019 Interest and the 2020 Interest (''Extension'') and the Additional Interest has been arrived at after arm's length negotiation between the Company and Innovative. The Directors consider that the Extension will not affect the business operations of the Group having taken into account the Group's cash position, the cash flows and working capital requirements of business operations for the coming three years, on the other hand, the Additional Interest shall exceed the interest income from placing bank deposits. Therefore, the Directors consider the return from the Additional Interest in the Proposed Amendments will bring benefit and generate more income to the Company.

With reference to the paragraph headed ''Information on the Group'' above, the Group had cash and bank balances of approximately HK$148.9 million as at 31 March 2019. Based on the 2019 Annual Report, the Group did not have any bank borrowings but only banking facilities on trade finance, which were supported by the pledge of the Group's fixed deposits of about HK$21.0 million and corporate guarantees. For our due diligence purpose, we have obtained and reviewed the forecast on working capital requirements of the Group for the four years ending 31 March 2023 and noted that the current cash position of the Group is able to support the ordinary business operations of the Group and the Extension will not have a material adverse impact on the cash position of the Group or affect the business operations of the Group. As further confirmed by the Directors, save for the continuing operation of the existing business of the Group, currently the Group does not plan to acquire or invest in other material investment. On the other hand, the Group's bank balances and pledged bank deposits carried variable interest rates of 0.001% to 3.25% per annum and 1.3% to 2.7% per annum for the year ended 31 March 2019, respectively. Hence, the interest rate of the Convertible Bonds after completion of the Proposed Amendments will become 4.025% and 4.55%, being the initial interest rate of 3.5% plus 15% per annum on the annual interest of the Convertible Bonds for the 2019 Interest and the 2020 Interest respectively, is higher than the existing interest rates of the Group's bank balances and pledged bank deposits and represents an additional income of approximately HK$3.8 million on the 2020 Interest and approximately HK$7.5 million on the 2019 Interest to the Group and will be accounted for in each of the years ending 31 March 2020, 2021 and 2022, as to approximately HK$2.5 million, HK$6.3 million and HK$2.5 million, respectively.

- 20 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As disclosed in the paragraphs headed ''Information on Innovative'' and ''Information on Smart Ascent'' above, while it is expected that additional financial resources made available to the Smart Ascent Group would facilitate commercialisation of the Product by around early 2022, the financial performance of Innovative was unsatisfactory and its cash position was relatively thin. As the Innovative Disposal is subject to, among others, approval of the independent shareholders of Innovative, the Innovative Disposal may or may not materialise. According to the Innovative Disposal Announcement, save for the Innovative Disposal, Innovative has been actively exploring fund raising opportunities through capital market as well as other cash out opportunities yet encountered difficulty to raise funds through the abovementioned fundraising options. Accordingly, having considered (i) the Extension is generally in line with the expected time required for the Product to commence commercialisation; (ii) the Extension will facilitate the investment of Innovative in Smart Ascent and the Group would also enjoy the economic benefits as share of profit of an associate when the Smart Ascent Group becomes profit making following commercialisation of the Product; (iii) the business operation of the Group will not be materially adversely affected by the Extension; and (iv) the Additional Interest will provide additional income to the Group, we concur with the Directors that the Proposed Amendments are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

5. The Deed of Amendment

On 26 July 2019, the Company and Innovative executed the Deed of Amendment to amend certain terms and conditions of the Convertible Bonds. Major terms of the Deed of Amendment are set out below:

The Deed of Waiver

The Company and Innovative also executed the Deed of Waiver pursuant to which Innovative undertook to perform certain obligations during the validity of the Deed of Amendment and in the event the Deed of Amendment is terminated.

Pursuant to the Deed of Waiver, the Company agreed, during the period from and including the date of the Deed of Amendment to the Effective Date or the date the Deed of Amendment is terminated (whichever is earlier), (i) to grant to Innovative an unconditional waiver in respect of the obligation of Innovative to pay the interest on the Convertible Bonds accrued from 28 July 2018 to 27 July 2019 (the ''Upcoming Interest Payment'') and not to take any steps to enforce or make demand for the Upcoming Interest Payment; (ii) not to exercise any right or remedy that the Bondholder would otherwise be entitled to exercise in respect of the Convertible Bonds as a result of the occurrence of any events of default arising from or in connection with the Upcoming Interest Payment; and (iii) not to take any steps, directly or indirectly, to wind up or appoint a receiver, administrator, administrative receiver or compulsory manager over, or to commence any other insolvency related proceedings (or any analogous proceedings in any other jurisdiction) against, Innovative or any assets of Innovative.

Pursuant to the Deed of Amendment, if any of the Conditions Precedent has not been fulfilled at or before 5:00 pm on the Long Stop Date, the Deed of Amendment shall automatically be terminated and will have no further effect on the Company and Innovative. If all of the Conditions Precedent have been fulfilled on or before the Long Stop Date, on the Effective Date, Innovative shall execute a deed poll to effect the Proposed Amendments to the Convertible Bonds Instrument.

6. Comparable Analysis

As part of our analysis, we have searched for relevant convertible bonds/notes issued by companies listed on the Stock Exchange (the ''Comparables'') as announced during the two months period prior to and including 26 July 2019, being the date of the Deed of Amendment, and identified an exhaustive list of 19 Comparables as far as we are aware of. We consider that the two-month period adopted is appropriate to reflect the recent market practice in relation to the issue of convertible bonds/notes under similar market condition and sentiment. Shareholders should note that the businesses, operations and prospects of the Company are not the same as the Comparables. Set out below is the summary of the Comparables:

- 24 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As shown in the table above, the Comparables carry annual interest rate of nil to 12.0% and with an average of approximately 5.05%. The implied interest rates of the Convertible Bonds following the Proposed Amendments hence fall within the range and generally in line with the average of the Comparables. The interest payment date of the 2019 Interest and the 2020 Interest were extended to the maturity date of the Convertible Bonds under the Proposed Amendments. Although most of the Comparables pay the interests attached therein on annual or semi-annual basis, we noted that it is not uncommon for the interests to be paid when the convertible bonds/notes matured. Accordingly, we consider the Additional Interest and the Extension to be justifiable.

In view of the above and taking into account the reasons for and benefits of the Proposed Amendments as described above, we are of the view that the terms of the Deed of Amendment, the Proposed Amendments and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

7. Financial effects of the Proposed Amendments

Upon the Proposed Amendments becoming effective, it is expected of the following financial impacts to the Group:

Earnings

For the year ended 31 March 2019, the Group received interest income of approximately HK$25.0 million from the Convertible Bonds. Pursuant to the Proposed Amendments, no interest will be received from the Convertible Bonds throughout the 2019 Interest Period and the 2020 Interest Period. Accordingly, it is expected that earnings of the Group will be reduced by the interest income of the Convertible Bonds for the years ending 31 March 2020 and 2021. However, there will be a generation of an additional interest income by the maturity date of the Convertible Bonds, i.e. on 28 July 2021. Innovative has to pay the Additional Interest on 28 July 2021 for the extension of payment date of the 2019 Interest and the 2020 Interest, being the amount HK$11,261,250, representing increases of 15% per annum on the 2019 Interest multiply by two for the 2-year extension and 15% per annum on the 2020 Interest for the 1-year extension. Hence, the implied interest rates of the Convertible Bonds after completion of the Proposed Amendments will increase to 4.025% and 4.55% for the 2019 Interest Period and the 2020 Interest Period respectively, whereas the original interest rate is 3.5% for each of the 2019 Interest Period and the 2020 Interest Period. The gain of the Additional Interest as to approximately HK$7,500,000 for the 2019 Interest Period and approximately HK$3,800,000 for the 2020 Interest Period, which will be accounted for in each of the years ending 31 March 2020, 2021 and 2022, as to approximately HK$2,500,000, HK$6,300,000 and HK$2,500,000, would increase the earnings and the total equity of the Company for the year ending 31 March 2022. The net cash proceeds of the Additional Interest would also improve the overall cash flow of the Group for the year ending 31 March 2022.

- 25 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Assets and liabilities

As disclosed in the 2019 Annual Report, the audited total assets and liabilities of the Group were approximately HK$1,196,086,000 and HK$134,515,000 respectively as at 31 March 2019, and the audited total current assets and current liabilities were HK$208,642,000 and HK$79,738,000 respectively as at 31 March 2019. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group's current assets and current liabilities are expected to be HK$192,000,000 and HK$70,000,000 respectively, arriving at net current assets of approximately HK$122,000,000. It is expected that the Proposed Amendments will have no immediate material impact on the liquidity of the Group for the year ending 31 March 2020.

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the principal factors and reasons described above, we are of the opinion that the Deed of Amendment, the Proposed Amendments and the transactions contemplated thereunder are on normal commercial terms which are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Shareholders, as well as the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders, to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Deed of Amendment, the Proposed Amendments and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

Yours faithfully,

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

As at 31 July 2019, corporate guarantees totaling HK$18,000,000 were given by the Group to a bank in connection with banking facilities to a maximum amount of HK$18,000,000 provided to certain subsidiaries of the Company, and as at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the banking facilities had been utilised.

Save as aforesaid and apart from intra-group liabilities, as at the close of business on 31 July 2019, the Group had no other outstanding loan capital issued and outstanding or agreed to be issued, bank overdrafts, loans or other similar indebtedness, liabilities under acceptance or acceptance credits, debentures, mortgages, charges, hire purchase commitments, guarantees or other material contingent liabilities. To the best knowledge of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, there has been no material change in indebtedness or contingent liabilities of the Group since 31 July 2019 and up to the Latest Practicable Date.

3. WORKING CAPITAL

The Directors, after taking into account the present internal financial resources available to the Group including internally generated cash flows and the existing banking and credit facilities available, are of the opinion that the Group has sufficient working capital for its present requirements in the next 12 months from the date of publication of this circular in the absence of unforeseen material circumstances.

4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECT OF THE GROUP

The Group is principally engaged in the businesses of the development, manufacture and sales of pharmaceutical products in PRC, the marketing and distribution of imported pharmaceutical products to customers in PRC, and the commercial exploitation and development of genome-related technology.

The Group's two core operating segments which are related to pharmaceuticals businesses in PRC i.e. the trading segment and manufacturing segment are further described below. The gene development is not active and has not contributed to the revenue of the Group.

Since China's implementation of the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan (2016-2020), and after three years' efforts in adapting to a new normal in economic development, China has been reshaping the regulatory landscape and intensifying the structural reform to the pharmaceutical industry. During the Group's financial year 2019, China's institutional reshuffle reforms in sweeping overhaul of various government bodies through merging and restructuring were implemented with the aim of aligning the nation's policy goals by enhancing efficiency of market controls, facilitating greater surveillance and promoting accessibility and affordability of quality pharmaceuticals and national health services in pursuit of a 'Healthy China' by year 2030. In the midst of constantly changing regulatory environment, China's pharmaceutical industry has maintained a steady growth while experiencing waves of challenges brought by the healthcare reforms and the restructured regulatory framework but improved market accessibility for self-developed innovative pharmaceuticals, which create both challenges and opportunities to pharmaceutical players.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

The ever-increasingly competitive landscape has impacted significantly the performance of the Group's trading segment of imported pharmaceuticals due to intensified competition from competing products produced by Chinese manufacturers, and increasing regulatory scrutiny on imported pharmaceuticals by the Chinese authorities, which resulted in temporary sales suspension of the Group's imported pharmaceutical product used for skin treatment, a major revenue contributor to the segment, in the financial year 2019. The Group is working with its business partners with the aim of resolving those issues raised by the Chinese authorities in the long term so as to bring the imported product back to the market as soon as practicable. The Group believes that the weakening performance of the trading segment would not cause material adverse impact to the Group, as the Group has been exerting continuous efforts in improving the performance of the manufacturing segment which has exhibited signs of improvement in recent years.

In light of the tremendous challenges over China's pharmaceutical market in which the Group operates, the Group believes that development of the Group's own quality products and enhancement of the Group's core competitiveness by advancing its production technology remain crucial to create a favorable momentum of long term development and growth for the Group. In these recent years, the Group has been placing more focus on enhancing the production efficiency and strengthening cost savings measures to reinforce the fundamentals for development of the Group's manufacturing segment, which has demonstrated positive progress, generating positive cash flow from its operating activities in the financial years 2018 and 2019. As a long term development strategy of the Group, the Group will endeavor to allocate internal resources to enhance the manufacturing capability of its GMP plants in Changchun, PRC to develop quality products to capture market demand, which in turn will improve the Group's performance and strengthen its foundation for sustainable development.

In addition, as a 49% minority shareholder of Smart Ascent Limited and its subsidiaries (''Smart Ascent Group''), the major asset of which is the intangible asset in relation to an in- process research and development project involving an oral insulin product, which is at its clinical trial stage, the Group will continue to coordinate with Innovative, the 51% majority shareholder of the Smart Ascent Group in advancing the progress of the oral insulin project and believes that the successful launching of the oral insulin product in the future would justify the Group's investments and bring benefits to the Group given the constantly increasing diabetic population in PRC and thereby growing market demand for quality diabetic pharmaceuticals.

The Group considers that it has maintained a sound financial position to cope with the future challenges, which supports cautious optimism about its future prospect given the enormous pharmaceutical market in PRC driven by large and aging population, growing per capita income, and the Chinese government's long term commitment to build up a 'Healthy China' by year 2030 that embrace business and development opportunities. The Group will continue to stay focused in improving its business performance and at the same time stay alert for business opportunities which may diversify its revenue stream.
