2. MAJOR TRANSACTION IN RELATION TO THE ACQUISITION OF THE ENTIRE EQUITY INTEREST OF THE TARGET COMPANY

On 4 December 2020 (after trading hours), the Purchaser (an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company), the Vendor and the Target Company entered into the Sale and Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Purchaser conditionally agreed to purchase, and the Vendor conditionally agreed to sell, the entire equity interest in the Target Company. After Closing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Target Company will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Acquisition

The principal terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are set out below

Date

4 December 2020 (after trading hours)

Parties

(1)

The Purchaser

(2)

The Vendor

(3)

The Target Company

To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, the Vendor and the Target Company and their respective ultimate beneficial owners (if applicable) are independent third parties of the Company and its connected persons.

Equity interest to be acquired

Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser conditionally agreed to purchase, and the Vendor conditionally agreed to sell, the entire equity interest in the Target Company.

The Consideration and payment terms

The Consideration for the Acquisition is approximately RMB1,177,829,000, which will be satisfied in the following manner:

(i) an amount of RMB36,500,000 (the ''First Instalment of the Consideration''),

which represents approximately 3.1% of the Consideration, will be paid within ten (10) Business Days upon the execution of the Sale and Purchase Agreement;

  • (ii) an amount of approximately RMB670,197,000 (the ''Second Instalment of the Consideration''), which represents approximately 56.9% of the Consideration, will be paid into the Escrow Account before the Closing and will be released to the Vendor within ten (10) Business Days after the Closing;

  • (iii) an amount of approximately RMB301,495,000, which represents approximately 25.6% of the Consideration, will be paid within ten (10) Business Days after completion of the audit with respect to the Target Company for the period from 30 April 2020 to the date of Closing (the ''Transition Period Audit'') and completion of the handover procedures;

  • (iv) an amount of up to RMB95,800,000, which represents approximately 8.1% of the Consideration, will be paid within ten (10) Business Days upon completion of each of certain rectification works items in respect of the assets of the Target Company by the Vendor required by the Purchaser, which, in any event, shall be completed within one (1) year after the Closing; and

  • (v) an amount of up to approximately RMB73,837,000, which represents approximately 6.3% of the Consideration, will be paid within ten (10) Business Days upon the receipt of the additional state subsidies for renewable energy electricity price by the Target Company. The information in relation to each receipt of such state renewable energy subsidies will be shown on public website and the Vendor is able to know when the Target Company will receive each batch of the subsidies.

The Group currently expects to finance the Consideration by the internal resources of the Group.

Consideration Adjustment

As at 30 April 2020, the Target Company had the outstanding debts in the net-off amount of approximately RMB94,980,000. Such debts, subject to adjustment for any net increase or decrease thereof during the Transit Period as determined under the Transition Period Audit, shall be settled by the Target Company within ten (10) Business Days after completion of the Transition Period Audit.

The report of the Transition Period Audit will be issued within ten (10) Business Days upon the completion of the Acquisition. In the event of any change of net assets value of the Target Company as a result of matters occurred in non-ordinary course of business during the Transit Period, such change will be considered as a downward consideration adjustment. The Purchaser has the right to request for compensation from the Vendor.

Basis of the Consideration

The Consideration was determined after arm's length negotiation between the Company and the Vendor after considering various factors, including (i) the unaudited net asset of the Target Company as at 31 October 2020 of approximately RMB1,276,547,000, adjusted by applying a discount of approximately 7.7%; (ii) the gearing position of the Target Company; and (iii) the Valuation Report pursuant to which the appraised value of the entire equity interest of the Target Company as at 30 April 2020 was RMB1,455,370,000.

The SFC's ''Guidance note on directors' duties in the context of valuations in corporate transactions'' (the ''Guidance Note'') requires the Directors to carry out independent and sufficient investigation and due diligence in making a decision to invest. In particular, the Directors need to understand the nature of assets or businesses of the Target Company, carefully consider all information and take all reasonable steps to verify the accuracy and reasonableness of material information that is likely to affect the valuation of the Target Company. To assist the Directors' in making the investment decision in the Target Company, ZhongHe Appraisal Co., Ltd., a professional valuer, has been engaged by the Purchaser, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, in relation to the valuation of the Target Company. Upon receipt of the Valuation Report, the Directors have devoted sufficient time to discuss and consider the Valuation Report and the valuation of the Target Company, including but not limited to the basis of computation, scope of review, assumptions, limitations and qualifications and valuation methodologies on which a valuation is based.

After thorough consideration of all the factors that may have an impact on the Valuation, the Directors have considered the followings in adopting a valuation of the Target Company based on the income approach instead of the asset approach:

  • (1) As set out in Appendix II to this Circular, the net assets of the Target Company as of the end of 2019 and the end of October 2020 were approximately RMB1,398 million and RMB1,281 million, respectively.

  • (2) The Target Company started to operate in 2017 with an approved feed-in tariff of about RMB0.8/kWh, which is significantly higher when compared with photovoltaic power plants which were built and started to operate in 2020. Considering that this is a transaction to acquire the entire equity interests of the Target Company and the influence of feed-in tariffs on the valuation of the Target Company is substantial, the Directors were of the view that valuation based on the income approach provides a more accurate reflection of the value of the Target Company.

  • (3) The asset approach used in the Valuation Report is about assessing the market value of the photovoltaic power projects from the perspective of asset replacement, which however has not taken into account the impact of possible incoming cash flow differences in the future in the relevant assets. In short, using the asset approach means only estimating the cost to rebuild a photovoltaic power project of the same size using the current market quotations of the components and equipment, without considering the revenue to be generated by such assets.

  • (4) Regarding the photovoltaic power project owned by the Target Company (the ''Project''), the Project was completed and started to operate in 2017. The construction cost of a photovoltaic power plant has been decreased significantly in the past years. For example, the average market price of photovoltaic modules, being one of the most important components/equipment for photovoltaic power projects, dropped significantly from around RMB2.92/Wp to RMB3.43/Wp during the construction of the Project, to around RMB1.30/Wp to RMB1.40/Wp currently due to the rapid development of the domestic photovoltaic power industry. With such a drop of more than 50% in the average price of photovoltaic modules, the valuation of the Target Company based on the asset approach therefore has been significantly reduced which reflects the current cost to build up a photovoltaic power plant in the photovoltaic industry.

(5) Despite of the significantly reduced valuation of the Target Company by asset approach, the valuation using the asset replacement cost is regarded as an important reference to the Directors' decision in investing in the Target Company. As aforesaid, the differences in the approved feed-in tariffs for photovoltaic power with different grid-connection times have a significant impact on the valuation of photovoltaic projects. The approved feed-in tariff of the Target Company in 2017 was RMB0.8/kWh, and by 2021, photovoltaic power projects have basically achieved grid parity price, which means if a new photovoltaic power plant is now built in the same area, its feed-in tariff would be only about RMB0.3345/kWh, which drops by about 58%. As a result, the future cash inflow from a replaced photovoltaic power project will be much lower than that currently owned by the Target Company.

In view of the replacement cost and the drop in feed-in tariffs as mentioned above, the feed-in tariffs of the Target Company is much higher than that would have achieved by a replaced photovoltaic power project, and therefore, the valuation using the income approach can better reflect the value of the Target Company. In addition, the valuation using the income approach is relatively closer to the audited net asset value of the Target Company as mentioned above, and the range of added value is reasonably limited. Furthermore, the Directors have discharged their duties of carrying out independent and sufficient investigation and due diligence by understanding the nature of the asset and the business of the Target Company, and having reasonable reliance on the valuation report as required under the Guidance Note.

Based on the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the Consideration is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Summary of the Valuation Report

The appraised value of the entire equity interest of the Target Company under the Valuation Report was prepared using the income approach, through the use of the discounted cash flow method. As a result, such valuation constitutes a profit forecast under Rule 14.61 of the Listing Rules.

Basis assumptions

Details of the key assumptions used in determining the value of the entire equity interest in the Target Company upon which the Valuation Report was issued are set out below:

  • (i) General Assumptions

    • 1. There will be no material change in the state and local laws, regulations, rules and social, political and economic policies currently in force and applicable to the Target Company;

    • 2. The Target Company will maintain continuous operation during the lifetime of the power plant;

    • 3. There will be no material change in the PRC's existing tax basis and rates, preferential tax policies, bank lending rates and other policy-based charges; and

    • 4. There will be no other material adverse impact caused by force majeure or unforeseeable circumstances.

  • (ii) Specific Assumptions

    • 1. Assuming the technical personnel and senior management of the Target Company would remain relatively stable and there would be no significant outflow of the core professional personnel in years;

    • 2. The present and future management of the Target Company are responsible and its management would be able to steadily proceed with the development plan of the Target Company to maintain a good operating position;

    • 3. The future management of the Target Company would comply with the relevant PRC laws and regulations, and there would be no major non-compliance that might affect the development and earnings of the Target Company;

    • 4. Since the electricity generated by the Target Company in prior years has been connected to the grid for settlement according to actual installed capacity, this appraisal assumes that the Target Company will generate electricity according to actual installed capacity and connect to the grid for settlement in the future;

  • 5. In accordance with the ''Report of the State Grid Corporation on Announcing the List of the Second Batch of Renewable Energy Power Generation Subsidy Projects in 2020'' issued on 31 July 2020, the Yulin Yuyang 300MWp Fengrong Photovoltaic Power Station Project of the Target Company is included in the list of the second batch of renewable energy power generation subsidy projects in 2020. Based on the interviews with relevant personnel of the Target Company, the subsidy income of electricity tariff before being included in the subsidy catalogue is expected to be recovered within three (3) years from the valuation base date, and the subsidy income of electricity tariff for 2021 and afterwards is expected to be received within one (1) year; and

  • 6. The accounting policies adopted by the Target Company are basically consistent with the accounting policies and the accounting methods used in revenue forecast in material aspects.

Confirmations

Grant Thornton Hong Kong Limited (''Grant Thornton''), acting as the reporting accountants of the Company, has reviewed and reported to the Directors in respect of the compilation of the discounted future cash flows in connection with the valuation of the Target Company prepared by the Valuer used in the Valuation Report, which do not involve the adoption of accounting policies.

The Directors confirm that the valuation of the entire equity interest of the Target Company in the Valuation Report, which constitutes a profit forecast under Rule 14.61 of the Listing Rules, has been made after due and careful enquiry.

A report from Grant Thornton in compliance with Rule 14.62(2) of the Listing Rules and a letter from the Directors in compliance with Rule 14.62(3) of the Listing Rules are included in Appendix VI to this circular.

As the highest applicable percentage ratio in respect of the aggregation of the Previous Acquisitions and the Acquisition is more than 25% but is less than 100%, the Previous Acquisitions and the Acquisition together constitute a major transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and are therefore subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

6. RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTOR

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 29 January 2021 in relation to the appointment of Mr. Zhao Bing as a non-executive Director by the Board.

In accordance with Bye-Law 83(2) of the Bye-Laws, any Director appointed by the Board to fill a casual vacancy shall hold office until the first general meeting of Shareholders after his/her appointment and be subject to re-election at such meeting. Accordingly, Mr. Zhao Bing shall retire and, being eligible, offer himself for re-election and the Board has recommended Mr. Zhao Bing for re-election at the SGM. The biographical details of Mr. Zhao Bing are set out in Appendix VIII to this circular.

The Nomination Committee, having considered the nomination policy of the Company and reviewed the background, skills, knowledge and experience of the proposed Director, is of the view that Mr. Zhao Bing's education background and vast experience in finance and management aspects allow him to provide valuable insights and contribute to the diversity of the Board. In view of the above, the Nomination Committee has nominated Mr. Zhao Bing to the Board for consideration.

Having considered and reviewed the biographical details of Mr. Zhao Bing, the Board accepted the Nomination Committee's nomination and recommended Mr. Zhao Bing for re-election by the Shareholders at the SGM. In view of the above, the Board considers that the re-election of Mr. Zhao Bing is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

7. SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

A notice convening the SGM is set out on pages SGM-1 to SGM-3 of this circular, at which ordinary resolutions will be proposed for the Shareholders to consider, and if thought fit, to approve the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and the re-election of the retiring Director.

For the purpose of determining the entitlement for attending and voting at the SGM, the register of members of the Company will be closed from Friday, 26 March 2021 to Wednesday, 31 March 2021 (both days inclusive), during which period no transfer of Shares will be registered. In order to be qualified for attending and voting at the SGM, all transfers of Shares accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged at the Company's branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Union Registrars Limited, Suites 3301-04, 33/F., Two Chinachem Exchange Square, 338 King's Road, North Point, Hong Kong for registration not later than 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, 25 March 2021.

A form of proxy for use at the SGM is enclosed to this circular and such form of proxy is also published on websites of the Stock Exchange (http://www.hkexnews.hk) and the Company (http://www.bjei.com). In order to be valid, the form of proxy must be completed and signed in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and deposited at the Company's branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Union Registrars Limited at Suites 3301-04, 33/F., Two Chinachem Exchange Square, 338 King's Road, North Point, Hong Kong together with a power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which it is signed or a notarially certified copy of that power of attorney or authority, not less than 48 hours before the time for holding the SGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be). Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the SGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be) should you so wish.

To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Shareholders has any material interest in the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Acquisition. Therefore, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting at the SGM in respect of the ordinary resolutions approving (i) the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and (ii) re-election of the retiring Director.

8. VOTING BY WAY OF POLL

According to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, all votes of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll, except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. Therefore, all the resolutions put to the vote at the SGM will be taken by way of poll and the Company will announce the results of the poll in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

9. RECOMMENDATION

The Board considers that the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Board also considers that the re-election of Mr. Zhao Bing is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Accordingly, the Board recommends the Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolutions to be proposed in respect of approving (i) the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and (ii) the re-election of the retiring Director at the SGM.

Meanwhile, the Group will coordinate domestic and overseas market resources to optimize assets allocation, and realise scale expansion and intensive development of photovoltaic power and wind power and other new energy businesses. In addition to the rapid development of existing new energy businesses, the Group will keep up with the industry's high-tech and new technology development trends, and actively promote the combination of energy and data by capturing new opportunities arising from the clean energy industry ecosystem.

The following is the text of accountants' report, prepared for the sole purpose of inclusion in this circular, received from the independent reporting accountants, Grant Thornton Hong Kong Limited, Certified Public Accountants, Hong Kong.

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION TO THE DIRECTORS OF BEIJING ENERGY INTERNATIONAL HOLDING CO., LTD.

Introduction

We report on the historical financial information of Yulin City Jiangshan Yongchen New Energy Limited (the ''Target Company'') set out on pages II-5 to II-56, which comprises the statements of financial position of the Target Company as at 31 December 2017, 2018, 2019 and 31 October 2020, and the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statements of changes in equity and the statements of cash flows for each of the years ended 31 December 2017, 2018, 2019 and the ten months ended 31 October 2020 (the ''Relevant Periods'') and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (together, the ''Historical Financial Information''). The Historical Financial Information set out on pages II-5 to II-56 forms an integral part of this report, which has been prepared for inclusion in the circular of Beijing Energy International Holding Co., Ltd. (the ''Company'') dated 12 March 2021 in connection with the proposed acquisition of 100% equity interests in the Target Company by the Company (the ''Acquisition'').

Directors' Responsibility for the Historical Financial Information

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the Historical Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in Note 2.1 to the Historical Financial Information and for such internal control as the directors of the Target Company determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the Historical Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Reporting Accountants' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Historical Financial Information and to report our opinion to you. We conducted our work in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Investment Circular Reporting Engagements 200 ''Accountants' Reports on Historical Financial Information in Investment Circulars'' issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified PublicAccountants (''HKICPA''). This standard requires that we comply with ethical standards and plan and perform our work to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Historical Financial Information is free from material misstatement.

Our work involved performing procedures to obtain evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Financial Information. The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants' judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the Historical Financial Information, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the reporting accountants consider internal control relevant to the entity's preparation of Historical Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in Note 2.1 to the Historical Financial Information in order to design procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Our work also included evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical Financial Information.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Historical Financial Information gives, for the purposes of the accountants' report, a true and fair view of the Target Company's financial position as at 31 December 2017, 2018, 2019 and 31 October 2020, and of it's financial performance and cash flows for the Relevant Periods in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in Note 2.1 to the Historical Financial Information.

Material uncertainty related to going concern

We draw attention to Note 2.1 to the Historical Financial Information which indicates that at 31 October 2020, the Target Company had cash and cash equivalents amounted to RMB555,000. This indicates a condition which may cast significant doubt about the Target Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The directors of the Company had made an assessment and concluded the Target Company is able to continue as a going concern and will have sufficient financial resources to support its current operations to meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due for at least the next twelve months from the end of the reporting period, having regard to (i) the Target Company's current and forecasted cash positions; and (ii) the financial support from the existing ultimate holding company before the Acquisition and from the new ultimate holding company after the Acquisition. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Review of stub period comparative financial information

We have reviewed the stub period comparative financial information of the Target Company which comprises the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the ten months ended 31 October 2019 and other explanatory information (the ''Stub Period Comparative Financial Information'').

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in Note 2.1 to the Historical Financial Information.

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 ''Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity'' issued by the HKICPA. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information, for the purposes of the accountants' report, is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in Note 2.1 to the Historical Financial Information.

In preparing the Historical Financial Information, no adjustments to the Underlying Financial Statements as defined on page II-5 have been made.

Dividends

II. NOTES TO THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

1. General Information

Yulin City Jiangshan Yongchen New Energy Limited (the ''Target Company'') was established in the People's Republic of China (the ''PRC'') on 27 March 2013. The address of its registered office is Zaoliutai Village, Xiaohaotu Township, Yuyang District, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, PRC. The Target Company is principally engaged in the development, operation and management of solar power plants.

The Target Company's immediate holding company is Jiangshan Fengrong Investment Company Limited'''', a company incorporated in the PRC with limited liability. In the opinion of the directors of the Target Company, the ultimate holding company of the Target Company is Kong Sun Holdings Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong and its shares are listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ''Stock Exchange'').

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 2.1 Basis of preparation and presentation

The Historical Financial Information set out in this report has been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (''HKFRSs'') which includes all applicable individual Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (''HKICPA'') and the accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

For the purpose of preparing and presenting the Historical Financial Information for the Relevant Periods, the Target Company has applied all HKFRSs which are effective for the financial period beginning on or after 1 January 2020 consistently throughout the Relevant Periods to the extent required or allowed by transitional provisions in the HKFRSs, except that the Target Company adopted (i) HKFRS 9 ''Financial Instruments'' and related amendments and HKFRS 15 ''Revenue from

Contracts with Customers'' and related amendments on 1 January 2018 based on the specific transitional provision and applied HKAS 39 ''Financial Instruments:

Recognition and Measurement'' and HKAS 18 ''Revenue'' prior to 1 January 2018; and (ii) HKFRS 16 ''Leases'' on 1 January 2019 based on the specific transitional provision and applied HKAS 17 ''Leases'' prior to 1 January 2019. The adoption of new or amended HKFRSs that are issued but not yet effective and their impact on Historical Financial Information, if any, are disclosed in Note 2.1(a).

The Historical Financial Information has been prepared on the historical cost basis. The measurement bases are fully described in the accounting policies below.

In preparing the Historical Financial Information, the directors of Beijing Energy International Holding Co., Ltd. (the ''Company''), an exempted limited liability company incorporated in Bermuda and its shares are listed on the Stock Exchange, have given consideration to the future liquidity of the Target Company in light of its cash and cash equivalents as at 31 October 2020 amounted to RMB555,000. This indicates a condition which may cast significant doubt about the Target Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The directors of the Company had made an assessment and concluded the Target Company is able to continue as a going concern and will have sufficient financial resources to support its current operations and to meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due for at least the next twelve months from the end of the reporting period, having regard to (i) the Target Company's current and forecasted cash positions; and (ii) the financial support from the existing ultimate holding company before the proposed acquisition of 100% equity interests in the Target Company by the Company (the ''Acquisition'') and from the new ultimate holding company after the Acquisition. Consequently, the Historical Financial Information have been prepared on a going concern basis.

The preparation of the Historical Financial Information in conformity with

HKFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Historical Financial Information are disclosed in Note 3 below.

The Historical Financial Information is presented in Renminbi (''RMB''), rounded to the nearest thousand (RMB'000), which is also the functional currency of the Target Company.

The directors of the Target Company anticipate that all of the pronouncements will be adopted in the Target Company's accounting policy for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement, and these are not expected to have a material impact on the Target Company's Historical Financial Information.

(b) Impacts and changes in accounting policies of application on HKFRS 16 ''Leases''

This note explains the impact of the adoption of HKFRS 16 ''Leases'' since 1 January 2019 on the Target Company's Historical Financial Information.

HKFRS 16 ''Leases'' replaces HKAS 17 ''Leases'' along with three

Interpretations (HK(IFRIC)-Int 4 ''Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease'', HK(SIC)-Int 15 ''Operating Leases-Incentives'' and HK(SIC)-Int 27 ''Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease'').

For contracts in place at the date of initial application, the Target Company has elected to apply the definition of a lease from HKAS 17 and HK(IFRIC)-Int 4 and has not applied HKFRS 16 to arrangements that were previously not identified as lease under HKAS 17 and HK(IFRIC)-Int 4. The Target Company has already recognised the land use rights where the Target Company is a lessee.

The application of HKFRS 16 does not have impact on these assets except for the whole balance is now presented as ''Right-of-use assets'' under non-current assets.

Instead of performing an impairment review on the right-of-use assets at the date of initial application, the Target Company has relied on its historic assessment as to whether leases were onerous immediately before the date of initial application of HKFRS 16.

The Target Company has initially applied HKFRS 16 at 1 January 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. On transition, for leases previously accounted for as operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months and for leases of low-value assets, the Target Company has applied the optional exemptions to not recognise right-of-use assets but to account for the lease expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term.

The Target Company has benefited from the use of hindsight for determining lease term when considering options to extend and terminate leases.

Adjustments recognised in the statements of financial position on 1 January 2019

The change in accounting policy affected the following items in the statements of financial position on 1 January 2019:

  • Land use rights - decreased by RMB93,853,000

  • Right-of-use assets - increased by RMB93,853,000

  • There was no impact on retained earnings as at 1 January 2019

(c) Impacts and changes in accounting policies of application on HKFRS 9

''Financial Instruments'' and HKFRS 15 ''Revenue from Contracts with Customers''

This note explains the impact of the adoption of HKFRS 9 and HKFRS 15 since 1 January 2018 on the Target Company's Historical Financial Information.

The Target Company elects to adopt HKFRS 9 and HKFRS 15 without restating comparative information. However, there is neither reclassification nor adjustment arising from the adoption of HKFRS 9 and HKFRS 15. Details by standards are explained below.

(i) HKFRS 9 ''Financial Instruments''

HKFRS 9 replaces the provisions of HKAS 39 that relate to the recognition, classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, derecognition of financial instruments, impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting.

The adoption of HKFRS 9 ''Financial Instruments'' from 1 January 2018 resulted in changes in accounting policies to the Historical Financial

Information. The new accounting policies are set out in Note 2.6. In accordance with the transitional provisions in HKFRS 9(7.2.15) and

(7.2.26), comparative figures have not been restated.

(a) Classification and measurement of financial instruments on

adoption of HKFRS 9

The financial assets held by the Target Company include financial instruments previously classified as loans and receivables which continue to be measured at amortised cost under HKFRS 9. Accordingly, there is no impact on the classification and measurement of its financial assets. There will be no impact on the Target

Company's accounting for financial liabilities, as HKFRS 9 only affect the accounting for non-derivative financial liabilities that are designated at fair value through profit or loss (''FVPL'') and the Target Company does not have any of such liabilities. The derecognition rules have been transferred from HKAS 39 and have not been changed.

(b) Impairment of financial assets

The Target Company has three types of financial assets that are subject to HKFRS 9's new expected credit loss (''ECL'') model:

  • Trade and tariff adjustment receivables

  • Other receivables and amount due from an intermediate holding company

  • Cash deposits (including cash at banks, restricted cash and pledged deposits)

The Target Company was required to revise its impairment methodology under HKFRS 9 for each of these classes of assets. There is no impact of the change in impairment methodology on the Target Company's retained earnings and equity.

While cash deposits are also subject to the impairment requirements of HKFRS 9, the identified impairment loss was immaterial.

Trade and tariff adjustment receivables

The Target Company applies the HKFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring ECL which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade and tariff adjustment receivables. There is no increase in loss allowance for trade and tariff adjustment receivables on 1 January 2018.

Other receivables and amount due from an intermediate holding company

Loss allowance on other receivables and amount due from an intermediate holding company are measured as either 12-months ECL or lifetime ECL, depending on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If a significant increase in credit risk of a receivable has occurred since initial recognition, then loss allowance is measured as lifetime ECL. There is no increase of loss allowance for other receivables and amount due from an intermediate holding company on 1 January 2018.

(ii) HKFRS 15 ''Revenue from Contacts with Customers''

The Target Company has adopted HKFRS 15 from 1 January 2018 which resulted in changes in accounting policies to the Historical Financial Information as set out in Note 2.11.

2.2 Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker (''CODM''). The CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the directors of the Target Company that makes strategic decisions.

2.3 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment (other than construction in progress as described below) is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Target Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Power generating modules and equipment

25 years

Furniture, fixtures and office equipment

5 years

Motor vehicles

5 years

Construction in progress represents property, plant and equipment under construction and pending installation and is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost includes the costs of construction of power generating modules and equipment. No provision for depreciation is made on construction in progress until such time as the relevant assets are completed and are available for the intended use. When the assets concerned are brought into use, the costs are transferred to other property, plant and equipment and depreciated in accordance with the policy as stated above.

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains or losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

2.4 Land use rights

Land use rights (which meet the definition of right-of-use assets upon initial application of HKFRS 16) represent the upfront payment for long-term land lease in which the payment can be reliably measured. Land use rights are recognised as prepayments for operating leases and amortised (before the application of HKFRS 16)/ depreciated (upon the application of HKFRS 16) on a straight-line basis to profit or loss over the lease terms.

2.5 Impairment of non-financial assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events on changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. Impairment loss is charged pro rata to the assets in cash-generating unit, except that the carrying amount of an asset will not be reduced below its individual fair value less cost of disposal, or value-in-use, if determinable. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group assets (cash-generating units). As a result,some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level. Non-financial assets that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting period.

2.6 Financial assets

Accounting policies from 1 January 2018

(a) Classification

From 1 January 2018, the Target Company classifies its financial assets into financial assets at amortised cost.

The classification depends on the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs or finance income.

The Target Company reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

(b) Recognition and derecognition

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Target Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Target Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

(c) Measurement

At initial recognition, the Target Company measures a financial asset at its fair value, in the case of a financial asset not at FVPL, plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Debt instruments

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the business

model for managing the financial asset and the cash flow characteristics of

the asset.

Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and presented in other expenses. The Target Company's trade and tariff adjustment receivables (see Note 2.8), other receivables, amount due from an intermediate holding company, pledged deposit, restricted cash, cash and cash equivalents are fall within the category of financial assets at amortised costs.

(d) Impairment

From 1 January 2018, the Target Company assesses on a forward-looking basis the ECL associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost.

For trade and tariff adjustment receivables, the Target Company applies the simplified approach permitted by HKFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables, see Note 16 for further details.

Loss allowance on other financial assets are measured as either 12-months ECL or lifetime ECL, depending on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If a significant increase in credit risk of a receivable has occurred since initial recognition, then loss allowance is measured as lifetime ECL.

In assessing whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Target Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial assets at the reporting date with the risk of default occurring on the financial assets at the date of initial recognition. In making this assessment, the Target Company considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort.

In particular, the following assessment criteria is taken into account when assessing whether credit risk has increased significantly:

  • - an actual or expected significant deterioration in the financial instrument's external (if available) or internal credit rating;

  • - significant deterioration in external market indicators of credit risk, e.g. a significant increase in the credit spread, the credit default swap prices for the debtor;

  • - existing or forecast adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant decrease in the debtor's ability to meet its debt obligations;

  • - an actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor; and

  • - an actual or expected significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the debtor that results in a significant decrease in the debtor's ability to meet its debt obligations.

Despite the aforegoing, the Target Company assumes that the credit risk on a debt instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the debt instrument is determined to have low credit risk at the end of each reporting period. A debt instrument is determined to have low credit risk if it has a low risk of default, the borrower has strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term and adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfill its contractual cash flow obligations.

For internal credit risk management, the Target Company considers an event of default occurs when information developed internally or obtained from external sources indicates that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors, including the Target Company, in full (without taking into account any collaterals held by the Target Company).

Detailed analysis of the ECL assessment of trade and tariff adjustment receivables and other financial assets measured at amortised cost are set out in Note 25.3.

Accounting policies applied until 31 December 2017

The Target Company has applied HKFRS 9 retrospectively, but has elected not to restate comparative information. As a result, the comparative information provided continues to be accounted for in accordance with the Target Company's previous accounting policy (i.e. HKAS 39) as set out below.

Until 31 December 2017, the Target Company classified its financial assets into loans and receivables.

(i) Subsequent measurement

Subsequent to the initial recognition, loans and receivables were subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(ii) Impairment

The Target Company assessed at the end of each reporting period whether there was objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets was impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets was impaired and impairment losses were incurred only if there was objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a 'loss event') and that loss event (or events) had an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that could be reliably estimated.

Assets carried at amortised cost

For loans and receivables, the amount of the loss was measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that had not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset was reduced and the amount of the loss was recognised in statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreased and the decrease could be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor's credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss.

2.7 Financial liabilities

(a) Recognition and measurement

The Target Company's financial liabilities include other payables, amounts due to related parties (including amount due to immediate holding company and amounts due to fellow subsidiaries), other borrowings and dividends payable.

Financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value net of transaction costs incurred and subsequently stated at amortised cost, using effective interest method. Any difference between proceeds net of transaction costs and the redemption value is recognised in the profit or loss over the period of the financial liabilities using the effective interest method.

Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Target Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

(b) Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expired. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and a recognition of a new liability, and the difference between the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the profit or loss.

The terms are substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received and discounted using the original effective interest rate, is at least 10 percent different from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability.

2.8 Trade and tariff adjustment receivables

Trade and tariff adjustment receivables are amounts due from the sole customer for electricity sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.

Trade and tariff adjustment receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, when they are recognised at fair value. The Target Company holds the trade and tariff adjustment receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.9 Cash and cash equivalents

In the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash at bank and on hand and demand deposits with banks.

2.10 Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

2.11 Revenue recognition

Accounting policies from 1 January 2018

Revenue is recognised when a performance obligation is satisfied by

transferring control of the promised products or services to a customer in an

amount that reflects the consideration expected to be collected in exchange for

those products or services. The revenue recognition of the Target Company is

determined through the following five steps:

  • (i) Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

  • (ii) Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

  • (iii) Determination of the transaction price;

(iv) Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract;

(v) Recognising of revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied.

At contract inception, an assessment is required to identify a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a product or a service (or bundle of products or services) that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, the Target Company considers all the products and services promised in the contract with the customer based on the Target Company's customary business practices, published policies, or specific statements.

Depending on the terms of the contract and the laws that apply to the contract, control of the goods or service may be transferred over time or at a point in time. Control of the goods or service is transferred over time if the Target Company's performance:

  • provides all of the benefits received and consumed simultaneously by the customer;

  • creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Target Company performs; or

  • does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Target Company and the Target Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

If control of the goods or services transfers over time, revenue is recognised over the period of the contract by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. Otherwise, revenue is recognised at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods or service.

The Target Company recognises revenue when the specific criteria have been met for each of the Target Company's activities, as described below:

(a) Sales of electricity and tariff adjustment

Revenue from sales of electricity is recognised over time when the electricity generated and transmitted is simultaneously received and consumed by the power grid companies. The Target Company has elected the practical expedient to recognise revenue in the amount to which the Target Company has a right to invoice as the amount represents and corresponds directly with the value of performance completed and transferred to the power grid companies. The

Target Company has no unsatisfied performance obligations at each reporting date.

Tariff adjustment represents subsidy received and receivable from the government authorities in respect of the Target Company's renewable energy projects. Tariff adjustment is recognised overtime at its fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the additional tariff will be received and the Target Company will comply with all attached conditions, if any. The revenue from tariff adjustment is based on the difference between the feed-in-tariff regime implemented by the PRC government for the provision of subsidy to the solar power plants operators in the PRC and the revenue from sales of electricity.

Variable consideration

For contracts that contain variable consideration, the amount of consideration is estimated to be that which the Target Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods or services to the customer.

The estimated amount of variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is highly probable that such an inclusion will not result in a significant revenue reversal in the future when the uncertainty with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

At the end of each reporting period, the Target Company updates the estimated transaction price (including updating its assessment of whether an estimate of variable consideration is constrained) to represent faithfully the circumstances present at the end of each reporting period and the changes in circumstance during each reporting period.

(b) Interest income

Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method. For financial assets measured at amortised cost that are not credit-impaired, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset.

Accounting policies applied until 31 December 2017

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, and represents amounts receivable for goods supplied, stated net of value added taxes. The Target Company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured; when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity; and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Target Company's activities, as described below.

(a) Sales of electricity

Revenue arising from the sale of electricity is recognised in the accounting period when electricity is generated and transmitted.

(b) Tariff adjustment

Tariff adjustment represents subsidy received and receivable from the government authorities in respect of the Target Company's renewable energy projects. Tariff adjustment is recognised at its fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the additional tariff will be received and the Target Company will comply with all attached conditions, if any.

(c) Interest income

Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.

2.12 Borrowing costs

General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time (generally over 6 months for renewable power projects) to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

2.13 Current and deferred income tax

The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

(a) Current income tax

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Target Company operates and generates taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

(b) Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the Historical Financial Information. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in foreign operations where the Target Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

2.14 Employee benefits

(a) Short-term obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and accumulating sick leave that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the statements of financial position.

(b) Post-employment obligations

Employees are required to participate in defined contribution retirement schemes administered and operated by municipal government. The Target Company contribute funds to the retirement scheme to fund the retirement benefits of the employees which are calculated on certain percentage of the average employee salary as agreed by the municipal government. Such retirement schemes are responsible for the entire post-retirement benefit obligations payable to the retired employees. The Target Company has no further obligations for the actual payment of post-retirement benefits beyond the contributions.

(c) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Target Company before the normal retirement date, or when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Target Company recognises termination benefits when the Target Company can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to present value.

2.15 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Target Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

2.16 Leases

As explained in Note 2.1(b), the Target Company has changed its accounting policy for leases where the Target Company is the leasee. The new policy is described below and the impact of the change in accounting policy as at 1 January 2019 is set out in Note 2.1(b).

Until 31 December 2018, leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership were not transferred to the Target Company as lessee were classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases were charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

For any new contracts entered into on or after 1 January 2019, the Target Company considers whether a contract is, or contains a lease. A lease is defined as 'a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an identified asset (the underlying asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration'. To apply this definition, the Target Company assesses whether the contract meets three key evaluations which are whether:

  • the contract contains an identified asset, which is either explicitly identified in the contract or implicitly specified by being identified at the time the asset is made available to the Target Company;

  • the Target Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset throughout the period of use, considering its rights within the defined scope of the contract; and

  • the Target Company has the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use. The Target Company assess whether it has the right to direct 'how and for what purpose' the asset is used throughout the period of use.

    The Target Company depreciates the right-of-use assets on a straight-line basis from the lease commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease term unless the Target Company is reasonably certain to obtain ownership at the end of the lease term. The Target Company also assesses the right-of-use assets for impairment when such indicator exists.

    From 1 January 2019, the Target Company has elected to account for short-term leases using the practical expedients. Instead of recognising a right-of-use asset and lease liability, the payments in relation to these leases are recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 month or less.

In the Historical Financial Information, right-of-use assets represented the

prepaid lease payments for leasehold land and are presented as ''Land use rights''

under non-current assets.

2.17 Government grants

Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Target Company will comply with all attached conditions.

Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.

Government grants relating to property, plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities as deferred government grants and are credited to the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on a straight- line basis over the expected lives of the related assets.

2.18 Related parties

For the purposes of the Historical Financial Information, a party is considered to be related to the Target Company if:

  • (a) the party, is a person or a close member of that person's family and if that person,

    (i) has control or joint control over the Target Company;

    • (ii) has significant influence over the Target Company; or

    (iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the Target Company or of a parent of the Target Company.

  • (b) the party is an entity where any of the following conditions applies:

    • (i) the entity and the Target Company are members of the same group.

    • (ii) one entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member).

    • (iii) the entity and the Target Company are joint ventures of the same third party.

(iv) one entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity.

  • (v) the entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the Target Company or an entity related to the Target Company.

  • (vi) the entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a).

  • (vii) a person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).

  • (viii) the entity, or any member of a group of which it is a part, provides key management personnel services to the Target Company or to the parent of the Target Company.

Close members of the family of a person are those family members who may be expected to influence, or be influenced by, that person in their dealings with the entity.

3. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The Target Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:

(a) Impairment of trade and tariff adjustment receivables

Until 31 December 2017, the policy for the provision for impairment of trade and tariff adjustment receivables of the Target Company is based on the evaluation of collectability and aging analysis of accounts and on management's judgement. A considerable amount of judgement is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these receivables, including the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of the debtor. If the financial conditions of the debtor of the Target Company were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional provision for impairment may be required. From 1 January 2018, the Target Company makes provision for impairment of trade and tariff adjustment receivables based onassumptions about risk of default and ECL rate. The Target Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Target Company's past history, existing market conditions as well as forward-looking estimates at the end of each reporting period. Note 25.3 provides the basis of the calculation of the loss allowance. As at 31 December 2017, 2018, 2019 and 31 October 2020, the aggregate carrying amounts of trade and tariff adjustment receivables amounted to RMB120,965,000, RMB228,413,000, RMB428,954,000 and RMB524,102,000, respectively.

(b) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

The Target Company determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation charges for its property, plant and equipment. This estimate is based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives of property, plant and equipment of similar nature and functions. It could change significantly as a result of technical innovations and competitor actions in response to severe industry cycles. Management will increase the depreciation charge where useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or it will write-off or write-down technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold. As at 31 December 2017, 2018, 2019 and 31 October 2020, the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment were RMB2,129,159,000, RMB2,060,608,000, RMB1,978,803,000 and RMB1,909,697,000, respectively.

(c) Impairment of property, plant and equipment

The Target Company assesses whether there are any indicators of impairment for property, plant and equipment at each reporting date. Property, plant and equipment are tested for impairment when there are indicators that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When value-in-use calculations are undertaken, management must estimate the expected future cash flows from the asset or cash generating unit and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. As at 31 December 2017, 2018, 2019 and 31 October 2020, the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment were RMB2,129,159,000, RMB2,060,608,000, RMB1,978,803,000 and RMB1,909,697,000, respectively.

4. Revenue and Segment Information

Revenue represents revenue arising on sales of electricity which is recognised over time. Substantially, all of the revenue is derived from electricity sales to local grid companies in the PRC for the years ended 31 December 2017, 2018, 2019 and ten months ended 31 October 2019 and 2020. Tariff adjustment is recognised as revenue in accordance with the power purchase agreement.

15. Right-of-use Assets

The Target Company's right-of-use assets mainly arise from lease of land use rights for solar power plant projects with typically lease term of 30 to 49 years. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants.

The movements of right-of-use assets are analysed as follows:

As at 31 December 2017, 2018, 2019 and 31 October 2020, trade receivables of approximately RMB53,421,000, RMB8,330,000, RMB6,068,000 and RMB15,076,000, respectively, represented receivables from sales of electricity and are usually settled within three months.

Tariff adjustment receivables mainly represented the central government subsidies on renewable energy projects to be received from the State Grid Shaanxi Electric Power Company based on the respective electricity sale and purchase agreements of the Target Company's solar power plants and prevailing nationwide government policies.

The directors of the Target Company consider that the loss allowance/ECL for trade and tariff adjustment receivables is insignificant as at 31 December 2017, 2018, 2019 and 31 October 2020. Note 25.3 provides details about the allowances.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was the carrying value of trade and tariff adjustment receivables. Trade and tariff adjustment receivables are denominated in RMB.

As at 31 December 2018, 2019 and 31 October 2020, trade and tariff adjustment receivables of approximately RMB228,413,000, RMB428,954,000 and RMB524,102,000, respectively, were pledged as security for the Target Company's other borrowings of approximately RMB1,554,491,000, RMB1,554,450,000 and RMB1,410,083,000, respectively.

Pursuant to Caijian 2012 No. 102 Notice on the Interim Measures for Administration of Subsidy Funds for Tariff Premium of Renewable Energyjointly issued by the Ministry of Finance, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration in March 2012, tariff adjustment receivables will be settled upon successful registration in the Renewable Energy Tariff Subsidy Catalogue (''Catalogue''). Caijian 2013 No.390 Notice issued in July 2013 further simplified the procedures of settlement of the tariff adjustment.

Pursuant to Guo Neng Xin Neng 2015 No. 73 Notice on the Implementation plan for photovoltaic power generation construction施方issued by the National

Energy Administration in March 2015, the approval process for solar power plant projects was delegated to the local government level from the Central Government. Such projects require only regional filings with regional power authorities authorised to administer the application process. Once the application has been submitted and approved, the local grid companies will install grid-connections and such projects will be eligible for tariff adjustment. The Target Company's grid-connections were installed in July 2017 and therefore eligible for tariff adjustment.

In January 2020, Ministry of Finance, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration jointly issued Caijian 2020 No.5

Notice on the Measures for Administration of Funds for Tariff Premium of Renewable

Energy. Pursuant to Caijian 2020 No.5 Notice, the Central Government will no longer approve and publish the Catalogue. On the other hand, the procedures for settlement of tariff adjustment is intended to be further simplified whereby it is indicated in Caibanjian 2020 No.6 Office of Ministry of Finance's Procedures in relation to Commencement of Approval Procedures of Renewable Energy Tariff Subsidy Project List that all qualified renewable energy power plants(the ''Qualified Power Plants'')

which fulfil certain requirements are eligible to be enlisted to the Tariff Subsidy Project List (the ''List''). The Qualified Power Plants include all 1st to 7th batch

Catalogue power plants, which will be automatically enlisted in the List. The Target Company's solar power plants are successfully enlisted on the second batch of the List.

The directors of the Target Company are of the opinion that the tariff adjustment receivables will be settled in accordance with prevailing government policies and prevalent payment trends of Ministry of Finance. The tariff adjustment receivables are recoverable by considering the background of the sole customer is a state-owned enterprise and such tariff adjustment is only subject to timing of allocation of funds by the PRC government.

The Ministry of Finance does not set out a rigid timetable for the settlement of tariff adjustment receivables. However, given the collection of tariff adjustment receivables is well supported by the government policy, all tariff adjustment receivables were expected to be recoverable. As the collection of tariff adjustment receivables is expected in the normal operating cycle of the business, they are classified as current assets.

Consequently, no loss allowance/ECL of trade receivables was recognised as at 31

December 2017, 2018, 2019 and 31 October 2020.

As of 31 December 2017, 2018, 2019 and 31 October 2020, all trade receivables were expected to be recoverable. The carrying amounts of trade receivables approximate their fair values.

The directors of the Target Company consider that the fair values of prepayments and other receivables which are expected to be recovered within one year are not materially different from their carrying amounts because these balances have short maturity periods on their inception.

25.2 Interest rate risk

The Target Company does not anticipate significant impact to cash and cash equivalents because the interest rates of cash deposits (including pledged deposit, restricted cash and cash and cash equivalents) are not expected to change significantly.

The Target Company is exposed to interest rate risk through the impact of rates changes on interest-bearing borrowings which bear floating interest rates.

The Target Company monitors closely its interest rate exposure by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings and considers hedging significant interest rate exposure should the need arise. The position is regularly monitored and evaluated by reference of anticipated changes in market interest rate.

Based on the balance of its interest-bearing borrowings as at 31 December 2017, 2018, 2019 and 31 October 2020, it is estimated that should there be a general increase/decrease of 50 basis points in lending rates of the People's Bank of China with all other variables being held constant, this would have the effect of decreasing/ increasing on profit before income tax for the years ended 31 December 2017, 2018, 2019 and ten months ended 31 October 2020 by approximately RMBNil, RMB7,772,000, RMB7,772,000 and RMB7,050,000 respectively.

The changes in interests rates do not affect the Target Company's other components of equity. The above sensitivity analysis is prepared based on the assumption that the borrowings as at 31 December 2017, 2018, 2019 and 31 October 2020 existed throughout the respective reporting periods.

25.3 Credit risk

Credit risk arises if a customer or other counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations. The credit risk of the Target Company mainly arises from trade and tariff adjustment receivables, other receivables, amount due from an intermediate holding company and cash deposits.

As at 31 December 2017, 2018, 2019 and 31 October 2020, the Target Company has concentration of credit risk as 100% of its trade and tariff adjustment receivables were due from its sole customer, which was a state-owned enterprise. Considering the track record of regular settlement of trade receivables and based on the Target Company's experience with respect to the collection of trade and tariff adjustment receivables, which are well supported by the government policy, the directors of the Target Company are of the opinion that the risk of default by the sole customer is not significant.

The Target Company has policies that limit the amount of credit exposure to any financial institutions. Substantially all the deposits are held in reputable financial institutions located in the PRC, which management believes are of high credit quality and management does not expect any losses arising from non-performance by these counterparties.

Impairment of Financial Assets

Until 31 December 2017, management of the Target Company has a credit policy in place and the exposures to these credit risks are monitored on an ongoing basis. The Target Company performs an ongoing individual credit evaluation of its sole customer's financial condition.

From 1 January 2018, the Target Company has three types of assets that are subject to the ECL model:

  • Trade and tariff adjustment receivables

  • Other receivables and amount due from an intermediate holding company

  • Cash deposits (including cash at banks, restricted cash and pledged deposits)

(i) Trade and tariff adjustment receivables

The trade and tariff adjustment receivables of the Target Company were arising from sales of electricity and were all due from a state-owned enterprise. As described in note 16, the Target Company's solar power plants are eligible for tariff adjustment since July 2017 and are successfully enlisted on the second batch of the List. The directors of the Target Company are of the opinion that the tariff adjustment receivables will be settled in accordance with prevailing government policies and prevalent payment trends of Ministry of Finance. There is no due date for settlement. Given the track record of regular settlement of receivables from sales of electricity and the collection of tariff adjustment receivables are well supported by the government policy, the directors of the Target Company are of the opinion that the risk of default by the sole customer is not significant and does not expect any losses from non-performance by the sole customer. Therefore, ECL rate of trade and tariff adjustment receivables are assessed to be close to zero and no provision was made as at the end of each reporting period.

(ii) Other receivables and amount due from an intermediate holding company

Impairment loss of other receivables and amount due from an intermediate holding company are measured as either 12-months ECL or lifetime ECL on individual basis, depending on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If a significant increase in credit risk of a receivable has occurred since initial recognition, then impairment loss is measured as lifetime ECL.

The Target Company's management considers that its credit risk on these other receivables and amount due from an intermediate holding company has not increased significantly since initial recognition as the risk of default is low after considering (i) the assessment criteria as set out in note 2.6(d); and (ii) the strong financial background of the intermediate holding company and its historical default rate, adjusted by current and forward-looking information. Thus, the impairment provision is determined based on the 12-ECL which is close to zero.

(iii) Cash deposits (including cash at banks, restricted cash and pledged deposits)

The credit risks on cash at banks, restricted cash and pledged deposits are limited because the counterparties are reputable banks and financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies in the PRC. Therefore, ECL rate of cash at banks, restricted cash and pledged deposits is assessed to be close to zero and no provision was made as at the end of each reporting period.

25.4 Liquidity risk

Cash flow forecasts are prepared by the Target Company's management. The Target Company's management monitors rolling forecasts on the liquidity requirements to ensure the Target Company maintains sufficient liquidity reserve to support sustainability and growth of the Target Company's business. Currently, the Target Company finances its working capital requirements through funds generated from operations and obtaining other borrowings.

The Target Company's management monitors rolling forecasts of the Target Company's liquidity reserve on the basis of expected cash flows. The Target Company's policy is to regularly monitor current and expected liquidity requirements and its compliance with lending covenants, to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash and adequate committed lines of funding from major financial institutions to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and long term.

The table below analyses the Target Company's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the end of the reporting period to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

(II) NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

Note 1 The unaudited consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of the Group as at 30 June 2020 is extracted from the published interim report of the Company as at 30 June 2020.

Note 2 The audited statement of assets and liabilities of the Target Company as at 31 October 2020 is extracted from the audited statement of financial position of the Target Company as set out in Appendix II to this Circular.

Note 3 On 4 December 2020, Beijing United Rongbang New Energy Technology Co., Ltd (the ''Purchaser''), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Sale and Purchase Agreement with Jiangshan Fengrong Investment Co., Limited (the ''Vendor'') to acquire 100% of the equity interest in the Target Company.

Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the cash consideration for the acquisition of 100% of the equity interest of the Target Company is approximately RMB1,177,829,000, of which RMB169,637,000 will be paid within twelve months upon the completion of the Acquisition. Details of the consideration and payment terms are set out in the ''Letter from the Board'' section to this Circular.

Upon completion of the Acquisition, the Target Company will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The identifiable assets and liabilities of the Target Company will be accounted for in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with HKFRS 3 (Revised) ''Business Combinations''.

  • (ii) Pro forma fair value adjustment to property, plant and equipment

    For the purpose of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the fair values of the solar power plant owned by the Target Company with an aggregate installed capacity of approximately 300MW as at 31 October 2020 (the ''Solar Power Plant'') was based on an individual valuation report dated 25

    December 2020 prepared by the independent qualified professional valuer, Zhonghe Appraisal Co.,

    Ltd. The valuation of the Solar Power Plant owned by the Target Company was prepared using the income approach, through the use of the discounted cash flow method.

  • (iii) Deferred tax liabilities

    Related deferred tax liabilities of approximately RMB10,086,000 arising from the pro forma fair value surplus on the property, plant and equipment of approximately RMB49,439,000 was estimated based on PRC Corporate Income Tax rate of 25% and preferential tax concession with a tax rate of 7.5% for the years up to 31 December 2022 and followed by a tax rate of 15% for seven years up to 31

    December 2030.

    Since the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Target Company at the completion date may be substantially different from the fair value used in the preparation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group, the final amounts of the identified net assets, goodwill or bargain purchase gain to be recognised in connection with the Acquisition may be different from the amounts presented above.

Note 4 The adjustment represents the estimated transaction costs of approximately RMB3,654,000 paid by the

Company in connection with the Acquisition.

Note 5 Apart from the Acquisition, no other adjustment has been made to the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial

Information to reflect any trading results or other transactions entered into by the Enlarged Group subsequent to 30 June 2020.

(B) INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS' ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

TO THE DIRECTORS OF BEIJING ENERGY INTERNATIONAL HOLDING CO., LTD.

Outlook of the Solar Energy Industry

According to the white paper entitled Energy in China's New Era published by the State Council Information Office in December 2020, China will adopt more vigorous policies and measures, striving to have carbon dioxide emissions peak before 2030 and to achieve carbon neutrality before 2060. Under the plan, by 2030, the consumption of non-fossil energy will account for about 25% of the primary energy consumption, and the total installed capacity of wind power and solar power will reach over 1.2 billion kW. It is expected that by 2060, the shares of electrical energy consumption, non-fossil energy consumption and clean energy generation will exceed 70%, 80% and 90%, respectively in China. Given the strong policy support for the solar energy industry, China's solar energy industry grew rapidly in 2020 and is expected to continue to see a rapid growth during the period of 14th Five-Year Plan.
