Deutsche Bank Markets Research Rating Company Date 20 May 2015 Buy Joy City Property Initiation of Coverage Asia Hong Kong Reuters Bloomberg Exchange Ticker Price at 19 May 2015 (HKD) 2.08 Property 0207.HK 0207 HK HKG 0207 Price target - 12mth (HKD) 4.50 Property 52-week range (HKD) 2.09 - 1.33 HANG SENG INDEX 27,591 Strong recurrent income, upsides Tony Tsang Jason Ching, CFA from SOE reform; initiating with Buy Research Analyst Research Analyst (+852) 2203 6256 (+852) 2203 6205 A fast-growing state-owned landlord; TP HK$4.50; implied upside 116% [email protected] [email protected] Joy City is a 66.8%-owned property flagship of COFCO. Our positive call on Joy City is based on its quality recurrent income base, strong state-owned background (well below-peer interest cost), strong balance sheet, strong Price/price relative organic growth (we expect core net profit growth of 39-66% p.a. in 2015-17 on 5.0 strong revenue growth with improving margins), and strong additional NAV 4.0 and earnings upsides from expected further asset injections from COFCO. 3.0 High-quality IP portfolio providing solid recurrent income with solid growth 2.0 In contrast to most listed Chinese developers (which focus on property sales), 1.0 Joy City focuses primarily on prime-location investment properties that 5/13 11/13 5/14 11/14 generate recurrent income, which in our view should command higher Joy City Property valuation multiples. We see the following unique characteristics: 1) recurrent HANG SENG INDEX (Rebased) income makes up a high % of Joy City’s total revenue; 2) the IPs of Joy City Performance (%) 1m 3m 12m are all located in Tier-1 and major Tier-2 cities, where consumption power is relatively strong, consumers are more mature and oversupply of new Absolute 33.3 41.5 9.5 properties is less serious; and 3) it has a clear IP focus and positioning – Joy HANG SENG INDEX -0.2 11.1 21.5 City Shopping Malls makes up the bulk of Joy City’s IP portfolio (ex hotels). Source: Deutsche Bank SOE reform: strong upsides from potential further asset injections from COFCO Given the central government's advocacy of more SOE reforms and the big scale and diverse businesses of COFCO, we see significant NAV and earnings- accretive restructuring potential within COFCO, which should benefit Joy City via further asset injections. According to COFCO, in the next five years Joy City will maintain its strategy of focusing on Tier-1 cities and expanding into Yangtze River Delta, Bohai Rim and other key areas; it will continue to develop Joy Cities in Chengdu, Tianjin Liuwei Road, Beijing Andingmen, Shenzhen and other cities, with a total of 30 Joy City urban complexes. In our view, this implies more asset injections and we expect Tianjin Luiwei Road and Shenzhen Joy City to be the next candidates. Also, we see good potential for Joy City to realize its NAV and recycle capital by spinning off its hotel portfolio. Attractive valuations at 68% NAV discount and 0.9x P/B Our TP of HK$4.50 is based on a 30% discount to our est. NAV of HK$6.43. Our target discount is higher than that for other big state-owned developers like COLI, CR Land and Poly (given the relatively new listing status of Joy City when compared to these big SOE names), but at a premium to other privately owned peers, which we believe is appropriate given Joy City’s state-owned background and stronger financial position and financing capabilities. We adopt NAV as our primary valuation metric, in line with peers under coverage. Key risks: competition in retail market, unexpected policy/economic volatilities.

    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong

    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

    A Study of Literacy Development

    Early Literacy Development in Mandarin-Speaking Children: The Role of Phonological Awareness, Rapid Naming and Spoken Language Skills Li-Li Yeh Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the regulation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Human Communication Sciences University of Sheffield April, 2012 Abstract In Taiwan, many children grow up in a bilingual environment, namely Mandarin and Taiwanese. They learn Zhuyin Fuhao – a semi-syllabic transparent orthography – at the beginning of the first grade before learning traditional Chinese characters. However little is known about the acquisition of literacy in this complex context, especially about the role of phonological awareness (PA), rapid automatized naming (RAN) and other spoken language skills. This longitudinal study is the first systematic attempt to investigate the trajectory of literacy acquisition in Mandarin-speaking children and the impact of instruction in both Zhuyin Fuhao and character. The study was carried out in Taipei. A sample of 92 children were tested in their first grade (mean age of 6;7), and then followed up a year later in their second grade. A comprehensive PA battery was designed to measure implicit and explicit PA of syllables, onset-rime, phonemes and tones. RAN, spoken language skills and literacy skills, including reading accuracy and comprehension in Zhuyin Fuhao and character were also measured, alongside non-verbal intelligence and children’s home languages. It was found that the role of PA in early literacy development of Mandarin-speaking children in Taiwan varies as a function of the orthography system. PA was closely linked to ZF-related tasks and reading comprehension, but not character reading where it had no predictive role.

    RED BOAT TROUPES and CANTONESE OPERA By

    RED BOAT TROUPES AND CANTONESE OPERA by LORETTA SIULING YEUNG (Under the Direction of Jean N. Kidula) ABSTRACT: The Cantonese opera, one of China’s major operas, was inscribed as a valuable world heritage to be preserved by the United Nations in 2009. Because Cantonese people have migrated to many continents, performances, practitioners, and audiences, listeners have expanded to beyond Guangzhou in China, and Hong Kong to diasporas. The Red Boat Troupes were influential in shaping contemporary Cantonese opera. They were performing troupes that used boats for transportation between towns and villages in the Pearl River Estuary from the late Qing dynasty until 1938. These boats were specially designed for opera troupes. The boats also served as sleeping quarters for performers, musicians, apprentices, stagehands, and sailors. Many Red Boats were destroyed during the Japanese invasion of China in 1938. Unfortunately, in just 70 years, no more Red boats seem to exist. This study situates the historical background of Cantonese Opera and Red Boat Troupes. Culture, function, life style, the art, performance practice, aesthetics, and music of Cantonese opera in the Red Boat society are examined. The thesis also looks into the social and economic understandings that brought about the demand for the Red Boat Troupe industry. Changes due to modernity, industrialization, metropolitan living, trade, colonialism, Westernization, and improved transportation affected the development of Cantonese opera. Feminist movement, cross-gender performance, economics, and class issues historically associated with the opera are examined and compared to recent activities in Hong Kong, and in one Cantonese diaspora, Vancouver of Canada. The findings from the research shed light on the genre with a hope of preserving the heritage and increasing the practice and consumption of Cantonese opera.
