LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR AND BENEFIT OF THE DISPOSAL

The Company is principally engaged in property development, property leasing, property management services and gold mining business.

The Sale Shares were acquired by the Company on 30 January 2015 at consideration of RMB150 million (equivalent to approximately HK$171 million), however, performance of the Target Company has not been satisfactory. Due to decrease in production volume by Longkou Jinxin and Longkou Jinhui and plunging gold price, the Target Company recorded a net loss of approximately RMB25.8 million (equivalent to approximately HK$29.4 million) and approximately RMB10.1 million (equivalent to approximately HK$11.5 million) for the financial years ended 30 June 2017 and 2018, respectively. As a result, the Group shared loss of the Target Company of approximately RMB6.3 million (equivalent to approximately HK$7.2 million) and approximately RMB2.5 million (equivalent to approximately HK$2.9 million) for the financial years ended 30 June 2017 and 2018, respectively. The Company had also recorded an impairment loss of approximately RMB73.1 million (equivalent to approximately HK$83.3 million) for the year ended 30 June 2017.

In addition, the mine exploitation license and exploration license of the Shanchakou Mine had expired on 1 June 2018 and 28 September 2018 respectively, and the mine exploitation license of the Yaojia Mine had expired on 31 December 2017. Although Longkou Jinxin and Longkou Jinhui had applied for the renewal of the above licenses, as at the Latest Practicable Date, due to the tightened environmental regulations, no renewal approval was granted by the provincial government. Management of the Target Company is of the view that it would be difficult to obtain licenses renewal under the tightened regulations.

On another hand, given the present economic condition and political tension between the United States and the PRC, gold price is expected to be volatile, which cast further uncertainty over the gold mining industry. The Company believes that it is the Company's interest to dispose the Sale Shares and salvage value when suitable opportunity arises and prevent further damage to the Group's consolidated financial results.

In view of (i) the detreating financial performance of the Target Company; (ii) the expiration of licenses of the Shanchakou Mine and Yaojia Mine; (iii) the difficulty of renewing the mining licenses; and (iv) the prospect of the gold mining industry, the chances in finding another buyer for the Sale Shares with an improved offer are slim. Given the circumstances, the Purchaser, who had conditionally agreed to acquire the Sale Shares under the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement poses a good opportunity for the Company to dispose of the Sale Shares.

The Company has been devoting more resources in property related businesses. In 2018 and 2019, the Company acquired a property management business and 700 carpark spaces in Xuzhou City. The Company is also actively searching for new investment opportunities in property market and suitable site for property development project. As such, the Board believes that the Disposal is in line with the investment strategy of the Group.

The Directors have reviewed the financial position of the Purchaser and are satisfied that the Purchaser has the ability to settle the Consideration. Based on the abovementioned factors, the Directors consider that the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are fair and reasonable, and the Disposal is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

- 9 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

USE OF PROCEEDS

The Group intends to apply the proceeds from the Disposal as to (i) RMB13 million (equivalent to approximately HK$14.8 million) for new investment opportunities in property market in the PRC; (ii) settle RMB20 million (equivalent to approximately HK$22.8 million) of the outstanding consideration due for the acquisition of 700 carpark spaces in Xuzhou City; and (iii) the remaining will be applied as general working capital of the Group.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no specific investment target was identified by the Company.

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL

Earnings

As a result of the Disposal, the Group is expected to record an unaudited gain of approximately RMB2.7 million (equivalent to approximately HK$3.1 million) which represents the difference between the Consideration of RMB53.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$60.4 million) and the proportion of equity interest in the Target Company of approximately RMB50.3 million (equivalent to approximately HK$57.3 million) as at 30 June 2018.

Assets and liabilities

Given that the Disposal is expected to generate an unaudited gain of approximately RMB2.7 million (equivalent to approximately HK$3.1 million), the consolidated net asset value attributable to equity holders of the Company is expected to increase by approximately RMB2.7 million (equivalent to approximately HK$3.1 million) (subject to audit) upon Completion.

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that the actual financial effects of the Disposal to the Group may be different from those of the above and can only be determined based on the then financial position of the Target Company upon Completion (subject to audit).

Upon Completion, the Company will cease to have any interest in the Target Company, and the financial results of the Target Company will no longer be shared into the consolidated financial statements of the Company under the equity method.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR

Pursuant to the appointment letter given to Mr. Lu Lin (''Mr. Lu''), Mr. Lu was appointed as independent non-executive Director for an initial term of one year commencing from 30 April 2019 and, pursuant to article 86(3) of the articles of association of the Company, shall hold office until the next following general meeting of the Company after his appointment and shall then be eligible for reelection at such meeting. Accordingly, Mr. Lu will retire at the EGM and has confirmed that he will offer himself for re-election thereat. Biographical details of Mr. Lu are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

As for the gold mining business of the Group in Russia, since the mining area is too large and the rock composition in the northern Molchan region is complex, the Russia gold mining company planned to conduct small scale production prior to large scale exploitation, which is common for all the mining exercise. The gold mining company submitted the plan of exploitation to the local government in October 2017. However, due to the increase in number of wildfire and environmental destruction incidents caused by mining activities in 2017, the Russian authority raised the environment protection requirements on exploitation applications at the beginning of 2018. As the Company signed an outsourcing contract with a third party in September 2018 which modified the original submitted plan, the Company was required to re-submit a new plan of exploitation which satisfies the tightened regulation. The Company has filed the reschedules in November 2018 and expected to obtain the exploitation approval within the year of 2019. According to the new legal requirements for the Russian authority, it is impossible to get the working visa for the PRC workers. In this case, the outsourcing contractor had employed the local Russian worker for this project. The Company and the outsourcing contractor had started the foundation work for the exploitation process in May 2019.

As can be seen from the analysis shown in the sections headed ''Financial effects of the Disposal'' and ''Reasons for and benefit of the Disposal'' in the letter from the Board, the net asset value and the financial position of the remaining Group would be enhanced following completion of the Disposal, which is beneficial to the long-term development of the remaining Group. Furthermore, the completion of the Disposal would also facilitate the remaining Group to look for new business opportunities, including, inter alia, land acquisitions and property/hotel investments, should opportunities arise.
