It is principally engaged in the investment, construction, operation and management of toll highways and roads. The Company aims at enhancing the ability of wealth creation by improving the quality of operation, obtaining reasonable returns through providing high-quality service to the society, and achieving satisfaction of customers, employees, shareholders and related parties by balancing their interests, so as to foster the Company’s sustainable development. Currently, the Company will maintain its market orientation, focus on the expressway industry, actively explore and engage in new investments in the industry for a synergistic growth in both its scale and efficiency. In the early stage of establishment, the operating revenue and profit of the Company were derived mainly from the three toll highway assets injected by the promoter. On an equity basis, the mileage of expressways was approximately 11 km, while the mileage of Class 1 highways was approximately 70 km. After over a decade’s development with listing on the financing platforms in both Hong Kong and the PRC, the Company has leveraged on the efforts of its own management team in building a number of high-quality expressways and provision of outstanding construction management and operation management services for government and private-invested highway projects. The Company has also further expanded its coverage to Guangdong Province and other economically developed regions in the PRC by ways of acquisition and participation. As at the end of the Reporting Period, the mileage of the highways invested by the Company (on an equity basis) exceeded 400km. The construction management of 7 projects was entrusted to the Company, with an investment amount of over RMB6.2 billion being completed.

(2) According to IFRIC 12, the Group was required to recognize its revenue from construction services under concession arrangements. It reflected that there was no real cash inflow from the construction or reconstruction works carried out on the roads for which the operating rights were owned by the Group.

    Vol. 59 November 30th , 2016 Latest Report Report on China PE FOF Development Is Issued; FOFs Boom in “Era of Equity Investment” By Meng Yu , Zero2IPO Research Center China has entered “the era of equity investment” in 2016, and the most active regions are Circum-Bohai-Sea with Beijing as the center, Yangtze RiverDelta with Shanghai as the center and Pearl River Delta with Shenzhen as the center. Over two decades of development, the capital market has seen increasingly open policies, innovation become the national strategy, and active VC/PE firms exceeded 10,000, with over RMB6 trillion (or US$900M) of capital under management, making big leaps. As the interest rate is approaching zero and risk-free returns keep on declining, the financial market has entered a cold winter and asset allocation is under big pressure. Both government platforms and industrial parks are seeking industrial transformation and upgrading. Under such background, RMB FOFs are in full-swing development. From2015 to 2016, new VC/PE firms have been emerging in China and many established institutions set up new funds, providing abundant investment targets for FOFs. As a fund platform and asset allocation tool, China‟s FOFs will head to industrialization, specialization, polarization and integration for better development at both capital and asset ends. Against this backdrop, Zero2IPO Research Center released this special issue, the China Venture Capital & Private Equity Fund of Funds Development Research Report 2016, analyzing the industry landscape and current development of China‟s VC/PE FOFs and studying on their operating models and investment returns. It also sets forth the opportunities and challenges VC/PE FOFs are confronted with for the reference of VC/PE firms.
