–13– LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS

Acquisition

The Group is currently operating an amusement park in Shanghai, i.e. Shanghai JOYPOLIS, under the trademark of “JOYPOLIS”. The grand opening of Shanghai JOYPOLIS on 6 February 2016 remarked the Group’s first project in the indoor theme park business in China, and constitutes a core revenue stream of the Group. As disclosed in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31 March 2016, with the grand opening of the Shanghai JOYPOLIS, the Group realised an increase of 17.2% in revenue generated from establishment of indoor theme park, from HK$28.50 million for the year ended 31 March 2015 to HK$33.40 million for the year ended 31 March 2016.

The Group is the first licenced operator of JOYPOLIS in China, whereas the relevant right to operate JOYPOLIS granted under the corresponding licence agreement as of the Latest Practicable Date is only limited to Shanghai, the PRC. Since Completion, the Group has been able to broaden its participation in operating interactive entertainment parks in additional cities on a global basis, namely Tokyo and Osaka in Japan respectively, Dubai in the United Arab Emirates and Qingdao in the PRC.

The Directors are therefore of the view that the Acquisition presents an excellent opportunity for the Group to (i) bring in a much stronger revenue force; (ii) leverage on the expertise and resources of the SLC Group to broaden its participation in the amusement parks operation business; and (iii) establish an all-around strategic planning for its amusement parks operation business. Upon Completion, SEGA SAMMY retains 14.9% of the equity interest in SLC. The Directors consider that the partnership with SEGA SAMMY will also strengthen the position of the Company as a leader of amusement park operation business. With reference to the profitable trading records of the Group’s existing JOYPOLIS operation in Shanghai, the Directors are optimistic to the future operation of the Remaining Business, especially the future expansion of the Enlarged Group’s theme park operation in the PRC.

In view of the above, the Board is of the view that the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement are on normal commercial terms and the Acquisition is fair and reasonable, and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders taken as a whole.

–14– LETTER FROM THE BOARD

SLC Shareholders Agreement

The Directors consider that the terms of the SLC Shareholders Agreement, including the transfer restrictions, the right of first refusal and the grant of the Put Option, are beneficial to the Group as a whole as all the arrangements enable the Group to consolidate its equity interest in SLC should SEGA SAMMY exercise the Put Option during the Put Period. Based on the profitable track records of Shanghai JOYPOLIS, the Directors are confident on the future business development of the SLC Group and the future expansion of the interactive entertainment park business in the PRC. Accordingly, the Directors are of the view that the entering into of the SLC Shareholders Agreement (including the grant of the Put Option) is in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. The Directors consider that the Put Prices are fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, taking into account, among other things, the Put Period, the aggregate three years transfer restrictions imposed to SEGA SAMMY and the right of first refusal available to CTP pursuant to the SLC Shareholders Agreement. The Directors are of the view that the terms of the SLC Shareholders Agreement (including the grant of the Put Option), which have been agreed after arm’s length negotiations among the relevant parties, are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITION AND EXERCISE OF THE PUT OPTION

Upon Completion, SLC would become a subsidiary of the Group and thus the assets, liabilities and financial results of SLC and its subsidiaries will be consolidated into those of the Group.

Assets and liabilities

As illustrated in the unaudited pro forma financial information as set out in Appendix III to this circular, had both the Acquisition and exercise of the Put Option been completed at the Completion date on 1 January 2017, the total assets of the Enlarged Group would increase from HK$1,042.14 million to approximately HK$1,183.10 million on a pro forma basis, and the total liabilities of the Enlarged Group would increase from HK$268.35 million to approximately HK$425.12 million on a pro forma basis.

Earnings

As set out in the Accountant’s Report of the Target Group included as Appendix II to this circular, the turnover and net loss attributable to shareholders of the Target Company were approximately JPY4,469.83 million and JPY2,529.31 million for the year 31 March 2017, respectively.

The attention of the Shareholders is also drawn to the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group set out in Appendix III to this circular.

–15– LETTER FROM THE BOARD

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

Acquisition

CTP is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios calculated pursuant to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Acquisition exceeds 25% but is less than 75%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction for the Company, and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements pursuant to Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

As no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting at a general meeting of the Company to be convened for the approval of the Acquisition, the Company has obtained written shareholder’s approval from a closely allied group of Shareholders, namely Bright Rise, Bonville, Fortress Strength, Mr. IKEDA, Dragon Year and East Jumbo, which holds 365,382,000 Shares, 12,900,000 Shares, 16,092,000 Shares, 50,280,000 Shares, 12,000,000 Shares and 29,658,000 Shares as of the Latest Practicable Date, respectively (representing in aggregate 486,312,000 Shares and 54.31% of the total number of Shares as of the Latest Practicable Date) for the Acquisition in lieu of holding the general meeting of the Company, pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules.

Grant of the Put Option as a major transaction and connected transaction for the Company

Pursuant to Rule 14.74(1) of the Listing Rules, the grant of the Put Option (the exercise of which is not at the Company’s discretion) will be classified as if the Put Option had been exercised. Pursuant to Rule 14.22 of the Listing Rules, the Acquisition and the grant of the Put Option shall be aggregated as if they were one transaction for the purpose of the Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the exercise of the Put Option as aggregated with the Acquisition exceeds 25% but is less than 100%, the grant of the Put Option as aggregated with the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction (as defined in Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules) for the Company and is subject to the notification, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

As SEGA SAMMY holds 14.9% of the SLC Shares, SEGA SAMMY is a connected person at the subsidiary level (as defined in Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules) of the Company. Accordingly, the grant of the Put Option also constitutes a connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to Rule 14A.79(1) of the Listing Rules, the grant of the Put Option (the exercise of which is not at the Company’s discretion) will be classified as if the Put Option had been exercised. As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of any exercise of the Put Option are more than 25%, the grant of the Put Option as aggregated with the Acquisition constitutes a non-exempt connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and is subject to independent shareholders’ approval and all disclosures requirements.

Dear Sirs or Madams,

MAJOR TRANSACTION AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION IN RELATION TO THE GRANT OF THE PUT OPTION TO SEGA SAMMY HOLDINGS INC.

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Shareholders in respect of the grant of the Put Option, details of which are set out in the letter from the Board (the “Letter from the Board”) contained in the circular dated 29 June 2017 issued by the Company to the Shareholders (the “Circular”), of which this letter forms part.

As SEGA SAMMY holds 14.9% of the SLC Shares, SEGA SAMMY is a connected person at the subsidiary level (as defined under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules) of the Company. Accordingly, the grant of the Put Option also constitutes a connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Pursuant to Rule 14A.79(1) of the Listing Rules, the grant of the Put Option (the exercise of which is not at the Company’s discretion) will be classified as if the Put Option had been exercised.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our recommendation, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons:

1. Background of and reasons for the SLC Shareholders Agreement

1.1 Information on the Group

The following table is a summary of the audited financial information of the Group for the financial years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016, as extracted from the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2016 (the “2016 Annual Report”) and the unaudited financial information of the Group for the six months ended 30 September 2015 and 2016, as extracted from the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 September 2016 (the “2016 Interim Report”).

–22– LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As at As at As at 31 March 31 March 30 September 2015 2016 2016 HK$’000 HK$’000 HK$’000 (unaudited)

Bank balances and cash 339,017 81,619 84,316 Secured bank borrowings – 94,550 94,550 Total assets 714,868 963,044 1,042,138 Net assets 555,210 690,485 773,786

As set out in the table above, revenue of the Group amounted to approximately HK$544.9 million for the year ended 31 March 2016, representing an increase of approximately 11.6% as compared to that of approximately HK$488.3 million for the prior year. According to the 2016 Annual Report, the increase in revenue was mainly attributable to (i) the increase in revenue of approximately HK$65.5 million in the trading of animation derivative products which was primarily due to an increase in sales volume to two of the major customers; (ii) the increase in revenue of approximately HK$4.8 million from the establishment and operation of indoor theme park which was mainly due to the grand opening of Shanghai JOYPOLIS in February 2016. Without taking into account of the joining fees of HK$25 million recognised for the year ended 31 March 2015 from the Group’s joint venture in operating the other JOYPOLIS, revenue in this segment significantly increased by approximately 854.3% from approximately HK$3.5 million for the year ended 31 March 2015 to approximately HK$33.4 million for the year ended 31 March 2016; and (iii) the increase of approximately HK$1.3 million from multimedia animation entertainment which comprises ticket sales for VR Gaming Showroom and concert income in respect of the Group’s animation concert performed on 30 September 2015. For the year ended 31 March 2016, the Group reported profit of approximately HK$98.4 million, representing an increase of approximately 36.7% as compared to that of approximately HK$72.0 million for the prior year, which was mainly due to the listing expense incurred in relation to the global offering of the Company was only recognised during the year ended 31 March 2015.

With reference to the 2016 Interim Report, revenue of the Group increased by approximately 20.8% from approximately HK$258.6 million for the six months ended 30 September 2015 to approximately HK$312.5 million for the six months ended 30 September 2016. Such increase was primarily due to (i) the increase of approximately HK$9.8 million generated from the trading of animation derivative products which was mainly attributable to an increase in higher unit price products sold to a major customer; and (ii) the increase of approximately HK$44.0 million generated from the establishment and operation of an indoor theme park which was mainly due to the grand opening of Shanghai JOYPOLIS. With the Shanghai JOYPOLIS commenced full operation, the number of visitors of Shanghai JOYPOLIS based on ticket sales significantly increased by approximately 674.9% from 50,279 for the six months ended 30 September 2015 to 389,592 for the six months ended 30 September 2016. In this regard, revenue generated from establishment and

–23– LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER operation of indoor theme parks increased by approximately 1,128.2% from approximately HK$3.9 million for the six months ended 30 September 2015 to approximately HK$47.9 million for the six months ended 30 September 2016.

With the profitable track record from the operation of Shanghai JOYPOLIS since its grand opening, we note that the Group is pursuing to further expand the theme park business through, among others, the Acquisition. As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 1 November 2016, the Directors are of the view that the Acquisition presents an excellent opportunity for the Group to (i) bring in a much stronger revenue source; (ii) leverage on the expertise and resources of the SLC group to broaden its participation in the amusement parks operation business.; and (iii) establish an all-around strategic planning for its amusement parks operation business. In light of the above, the Directors are optimistic to the future operation of the indoor theme park under the trademark JOYPOLIS and the future expansion of the Group’s theme park operation in the PRC, particularly in North-West and major cities of the PRC by working with partners through licencing and co-operation with land developers.

As at 31 March 2016, the Group had bank balances and cash of approximately HK$81.6 million, representing a decrease of approximately 75.9% as compared to that of approximately HK$339.0 million as at 31 March 2015 which was mainly due to the payment for the property, plant and equipment of HK$219.0 million for the grand opening of Shanghai JOYPOLIS and another JOYPOLIS in China. As at 30 September 2016, the Group’s bank balances and cash remained stable at approximately HK$84.3 million. On the other hand, the Group had secured bank borrowings of approximately HK$94.6 million as at 31 March 2016 and 30 September 2016 as compared to nil as at 31 March 2015. As disclosed in the 2016 Interim Report, the Group’s working capital requirement is primarily financed by its internal resources and the Board is of the view that the existing financial resources will be sufficient to execute future expansion plans of the Group. Nonetheless, the Group may obtain additional financing with favorable terms from time to time, if necessary.

1.2 Information on SEGA SAMMY and SLC Group

SLC is a company incorporated in Japan on 1 April 2015 with limited liability. Since 1 January 2017, SLC has become a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company holding 85.1% of the SLC Shares with the remaining 14.9% of the SLC Shares held by SEGA SAMMY. The principal business activities of SLC and SEGA Qingdao (being a subsidiary of SLC) are planning, development and operation of entertainment facilities and indoor interactive entertainment parks.

–24– LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As extracted from the accountant’s report of the SLC Group as set out in Appendix II to the circular, the following is a summary of the audited combined financial information of the SLC Group for the three financial years ended 31 March 2015, 2016 and 2017:

For the year ended 31 March 2015 2016 2017 JPY’000 JPY’000 JPY’000

Revenue 4,614,958 6,656,174 4,469,832 Gross profit 861,195 657,105 19,138 Administrative expenses (1,501,038) (1,114,478) (1,715,151) Loss for the year (1,099,498) (1,265,575) (2,529,310)

As noted from the above, revenue of the SLC Group increased by approximately 44.2% from approximately JPY4.6 billion for the year ended 31 March 2015 to approximately JPY6.7 billion for the year ended 31 March 2016, which was mainly attributable to the commencement of the business of Orbi and the business of the Joypolis in Qingdao was in the upward trend. Despite the increase in revenue, the SLC Group recorded increase in net loss, which was primarily due to decrease in gross profit and the more research and development cost incurred for the commencement of business of Orbi. The SLC Company carried out reorganisation and transferred all assets and liabilities of Orbi to SEGA SAMMY on 1 January 2017 pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement. Due to the aforementioned transfer as well as the decrease in machines sales in the PRC market, revenue for the year ended 31 March 2017 decreased by approximately 32.8%. The SLC Group also recorded the worsening in loss to approximately JPY2.5 billion for the year ended 31 March 2017, which was primarily due to the decrease in revenue and the significant administrative expenses of approximately JPY1.7 billion, among which approximately JPY1.6 billion were resulted from the impairment loss on property, plant and equipment.

2. Reasons for and benefits of the SLC Shareholders Agreement

The Put Option has been granted by CTP to SEGA SAMMY under the SLC Shareholders Agreement, whereby SEGA SAMMY may sell all the SLC Shares held by it to CTP within the Put Period at the Put Prices. The Put Option can be exercised anytime on or after the third anniversary of the Completion Date and until the day immediately before the sixth anniversary of the Completion Date which demand CTP to purchase all but not part of the SLC Shares held by SEGA SAMMY. If the Put Option is not exercised by SEGA SAMMY during the Put Period, the Put Option shall lapse on the expiry of the Put Period and all the rights and interests of SEGA SAMMY under the Put Option Deed shall also cease and terminate.

Pursuant to the SLC Shareholders Agreement, each of SEGA SAMMY and CTP shall not transfer, dispose of, create any encumbrances over, or otherwise give any other person any rights in relation to any SLC Share held by each of them within a period of three years from the Completion Date. In addition, CTP has been granted a right of first refusal on all

–25– LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

SLC Shares proposed to be sold by SEGA SAMMY to third party other than its Affiliates from the third anniversary of the Completion Date to the day immediately before the ninth anniversary of the Completion Date. CTP would have 14 days to exercise its right of first refusal. However, these restrictions on transfer and the right of first refusal will be uplifted if the grant of the Put Option is not approved by the Shareholders.

As advised by the Directors, the aforesaid restrictions on transfer are designed to maintain the involvement of SEGA SAMMY in SLC during the three years restricted period. Given that SEGA SAMMY being a renowned amusement machine manufacturer and video game developer, as well as the founder of JOYPOLIS, the Directors believe that the partnership with SEGA SAMMY will also strengthen the position of the Company as a leader of amusement park operation business and ensure the due operation of JOYPOLIS during the initial period. Therefore, we concur with the Directors that the three-year transfer restrictions imposed on SEGA SAMMY is likely to have a positive impact to the operation of SLC as well as business performance of the Group.

During the Put Period, SEGA SAMMY will be entitled to exercise the Put Option at their discretion and put the SLC Shares to CTP at the Put Price, which was determined after arm’s length negotiations among CTP, the Company and SEGA SAMMY upon normal commercial terms with reference to the available financial information of the SLC Group and the business development of the Group as a result of the synergy brought by the Acquisition. Despite the fact that the SLC Group has been loss making for the three years ended 31 March 2017 as illustrated in the paragraph headed “Information on SLC and SEGA SAMMY” above, we note that the Group has recorded increase in revenue as well as profitability from the operation of indoor theme park, particularly during the six months ended 30 September 2016 since the grand opening of Shanghai JOYPOLIS in February 2016. We understand that there is no assurance that the Group will be able to achieve turnaround in the SLC Group when the time the Put Option is exercised by SEGA SAMMY. Nonetheless, based on the successful and profitable track record of the operation of Shanghai JOYPOLIS and that one of the primary reason to the loss making position of the SLC Group was due to its significant administrative expenses resulted from the impairment loss on property, plant and equipment, and excluding which the SLC Group shall record a narrowing in loss as compared to the prior year, the Directors are confident on the future business development of the SLC Group and the future expansion of the interactive entertainment park business in the PRC.

Moreover, the Directors consider that the transfer restrictions, the right of first refusal and the grant of the Put Option, are beneficial to the Group as a whole as all the arrangements enable the Group to consolidate its equity interest in SLC. Without such transfer restrictions, in the event that SEGA SAMMY decided to transfer or dispose of all the SLC Shares held by it to parties other than the Company, the incoming shareholders may have a different view on the strategy or business plan of SLC and therefore give rise to uncertainties on the existing commercial relationship among SEGA SAMMY, SLC and the Company as well as the prospect of the SLC Group. Nonetheless, pursuant to the SLC Shareholders Agreement, the restrictions on transfer and the right of first refusal will be uplifted if the grant of the Put Option is not approved by the Shareholders. In view of the above, given that the grant of Put Option is the condition precedent to the aforesaid

–26– LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER arrangements, we therefore concur with the Directors’ view that while the Put Option has been granted to SEGA SAMMY at no consideration and the exercise of which is not at the Company’s discretion, the grant of the Put Option is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Having considered that (i) partnership with SEGA SAMMY will strengthen the position of the Company as a leader of amusement park operation business and the three-year transfer restrictions imposed on SEGA SAMMY shall ensure the due operation of JOYPOLIS; (ii) the Group had a successful and profitable track record of the operation of Shanghai JOYPOLIS; (iii) the grant of Put Option is the condition precedent to the transfer restrictions and the right of first refusal; and (iv) the Group would be able to consolidate its equity interest in SLC under the aforementioned arrangements, we concur with the Directors that the SLC Shareholders Agreement is conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business, and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

3. Terms of the SLC Shareholders Agreement

On 31 December 2016, the SLC Shareholders Agreement was entered into among SEGA SAMMY, CTP, SLC and the Company regarding the post-completion arrangements of SLC, including the restriction on the transfer of the SLC Shares and the right of first refusal (relating to the SLC Shares held by SEGA SAMMY only) and grant of the Put Option to SEGA SAMMY. All terms of the SLC Shareholders Agreement (other than the grant of the Put Option which was subject to approval from the Shareholders) has become effective from 1 January 2017.

Grant of the Put Option

Put Period and Put Prices

In the event that CTP has purchased all the SLC Shares held by SEGA SAMMY, SLC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The consideration has been determined after arm’s length negotiations among CTP, the Company and SEGA SAMMY and upon normal commercial terms with reference to the available financial information of the Remaining Business and the business development of the Group as a result of the synergy brought by the Acquisition, further information on which is set forth in the paragraphs under “Reasons for and benefits — SLC Shareholders Agreement” in the Letter from the Board.

Analysis of the Put Prices

While the price to earnings ratio and the price to book ratio (“P/B”) are the most commonly used benchmark to valuate companies that generate recurring revenue and income, the price to earnings ratio is not applicable in considering the Put Prices as the SLC Group has been loss making during its latest financial year. In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Put Prices, we note that based on the unaudited net asset value of the SLC Group as at 31 March 2017, (i) if the Put Option is exercised on or after the third anniversary of the Completion Date and until the day immediately before the fifth anniversary of the Completion Date, the aggregate consideration payable by CTP for the 149 SLC Shares will be

–28– LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

JPY105,052,748 (the “First Put Price”), representing an implied P/B of approximately 2.5 times; and (ii) if the Put Option is exercised on or after the fifth anniversary of the Completion Date and until the day immediately before the sixth anniversary of the Completion Date, the aggregate consideration payable by CTP for the 149 SLC Shares will be JPY210,105,496 (the “Second Put Price”), representing an implied P/B of approximately 4.9 times. It should be noted that as the Put Option would only be exercisable on or after the third anniversary of the Completion Date, the net asset value of the SLC Group may different from its net asset value as at 31 March 2017. Nonetheless, in view of the Group’s future expansion plan for theme park operation in the PRC as well as the prospect of the SLC Group as detailed in the paragraph headed “Reasons for and benefits of the SLC Shareholders Agreement” above, it is unlikely that the net asset value of the SLC Group in the future being less than its net asset value as at 31 March 2017.

For the purpose of our analysis, we have identified and reviewed, on a best effort basis, companies listed on the Stock Exchange which are principally engaged in the operation of theme parks in the PRC and/or Japan. Due to the limited number of companies listed on the Stock Exchange with business nature comparable to the SLC Group being identified, we have extended our research to companies which are listed in other internationally recognized stock exchanges and engaged in the operation of theme parks in the PRC and/or Japan. To the best of our knowledge and as far as we are aware of, we have identified four companies (the “Comparable Companies”) that are engaged in similar line of business to the SLC Group and we consider that the Comparable Companies are fair and representative samples.

Shareholders should note that the business operations and prospects of the SLC Group are not exactly the same as the Comparable Companies and we have not conducted any in depth investigation into the business operations and prospects of the Comparable Companies. In addition, the P/Bs of the Comparable Companies reflect in a particular period of time market consensus of, amongst other things, the prospects, business, financial position and market price performance of the shares of the respective Comparable Companies and therefore, the P/Bs of the Comparable Companies are for information and reference only. The table below illustrates the details of the Comparable Companies:

–30– LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As illustrated in the above, the Comparable Companies were trading at P/B ranging from approximately 1.5 times to approximately 3.2 times (the “Market Range”). The implied P/B of the First Put Price of approximately 2.5 times hence fall within the Market Range while the Second Put Price of approximately 4.9 times was higher than the Market Range. Nonetheless, we noted that while the SLC Group does not own intangible assets, SEGA Holdings granted to SLC the right to use the Trademarks pursuant to the Trademark Licence Agreement as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 3 January 2017. With reference to the unaudited pro forma financial information as set out in Appendix III to the Circular, the pro forma fair value of the Trademark amounted to approximately HK$24.2 million. If such value of the Trademark is included in the net assets value of the SLC Group, the implied P/Bs of the First Put Price and the Second Put Price would be approximately 1.1 times, which fall below the Market Range, and 2.2 times, which fall within the Market Range, respectively.

Having considered that (i) the reasons for and benefits of the SLC Shareholders Agreement (including the grant of the Put Option); and (ii) the analysis on the implied P/B of the First Put Price and the Second Put Price as set out in the above, we are of the view that the Put Prices are fair and reasonable so far as the Shareholders are concerned.

4. Possible financial effects of the SLC Shareholders Agreement

SLC is a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the assets, liabilities and financial results of SLC is consolidated into the financial statements of the Company effective from the Completion Date. Upon exercise of the Put Option, SLC will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

(a) Net asset value

The unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Group as at 30 September 2016 was approximately HK$773.8 million. With reference to the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Group as contained in Appendix III to the Circular, the Put Option is treated as a derivative and is recognised at fair value upon initial recognition, which is the effective date on 1 January 2017. The fair value of the Put Option is to be measured by valuation.

(b) Earnings

As confirmed by the Directors, the Company does not expect to record any gain or loss in its consolidated income statement for the year ended 31 March 2017 as a result of the grant of Put Option.

–31– LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As disclosed in the 2016 Interim Report, the Group’s bank balances and cash amounted to approximately HK$84.3 million. In view of that the maximum consideration payable by CTP to acquire the SLC Shares, being the Second Put Price, amounted only to approximately HK$13.9 million, the Directors consider that the exercise of Put Option will not materially impact the working capital and financial position of the Group.

RECOMMENDATION

Having taken into consideration the factors and reasons as stated above, we are of the opinion that the entering into of the SLC Shareholders Agreement is conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, and the terms of the SLC Shareholders Agreement (including the grant of Put Option) are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable so far as the Shareholders are concerned and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The directors of the SLC Group review the capital structure regularly. As part of the review, the directors consider the cost of capital and the risk associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the directors, the SLC Group will balance its overall capital structure through payment of dividends, new share issues as well as the issue of new debt or the redemption of existing debt.

As of 31 March 2017, the issued and paid up capital of SLC was JPY100,000,000 divided into 1,000 shares. Movements in the share capital of SLC are reflected in note 25 to the financial statements of the SLC Group in Appendix II to this circular.

The increase in gearing ratio as of 31 March 2016 as compared to 31 March 2015 was mainly due to decrease in total equity which was attributable to loss for the year ended 31 March 2016, which is partly offset by increases in both borrowings and obligations under finance lease.

The increase in gearing ratio as of 31 March 2017 as compared to 31 March 2016 was mainly due to an substantial decrease in total equity which was attributable to loss for the year ended 31 March 2017.

Treasury and funding policies

During the reported period, the SLC Group usually financed its working capital through internal funds, finance lease and funding from immediate holding company. To manage liquidity risk, the management of the SLC Group closely monitors the liquidity position to ensure that the liquidity structure of the SLC Group’s asset, liabilities and commitments can meet its funding requirements.

Currency and interest risk

The cash and bank balances, the borrowings and the obligations under finance lease of the SLC Group were mainly denominated in Japanese Yen. The operation of the SLC Group had been primarily conducted in Japanese Yen. The SLC Group did not carry out any foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against exchange rate fluctuations. Foreign exchange risk arising from the normal course of operations is considered to be minimal and the management will closely monitor the fluctuation in the currency and take appreciate actions when conditions arises.

– I-7 – APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION

In terms of the interest rate exposure, as the SLC Group was only exposed to fixed interest rate charges arising from obligation under finance lease and loan from former shareholder, the SLC Group’s exposure to risk of changes in market interest rates is considered to be minimal. The SLC Group currently does not have any interest rate hedging policy. The management of the SLC Group closely monitors the interest rate exposure of the SLC Group and would consider hedging significant interest rate exposure should the need arise.

Credit risk

The SLC Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to accounts receivable, other receivables, amounts due from related companies and loans receivables. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to these credit risks are monitored on an ongoing basis.

Included in the amount that is past due but not impaired are mainly attributable to trade receivables due from a number of independent customers that have a good track record with the SLC Group, which increased from approximately JPY31,223,000 as of 31 March 2015 to approximately JPY112,274,000 as of 31 March 2017. In terms of concentration of credit risk, no concentration of credit risk of total accounts receivable due from the SLC Group’s largest customer and five largest customers as of 31 March 2015, 2016 and 2017 respectively.

In order to minimise the credit risk in accounts receivable due from customers, the management of the SLC Group is responsible for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monetary procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue amounts. In addition, the management of the SLC Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual receivable periodically to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of the SLC Group consider that the SLC Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.

The credit risk arising from amounts due from related companies and loans receivables is limited as the counterparties have good history of repayment and the SLC Group does not expect to incur a significant loss for uncollected amounts due from directors and ultimate holding company.

The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

Foreign exchange exposure

Most of the transactions, assets and liabilities attributable to the SLC Group for the years ended 31 March 2015, 2016 and 2017 were denominated mainly in Japanese Yen. The SLC Group had no foreign exchange contracts outstanding as at 31 March 2015, 2016 and 2017.

B. NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

a) Background

The Target Company is a limited liability company incorporated in Japan under the Companies Act on 1 April 2015. The registered address of its office is 1-39-9 Higashi-Shinagawa, Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo, Japan. On 1 January 2017, the name of the Target Company was changed from Sega Live Creation Inc. to CA Sega Joypolis Limited. The Target Group is principally engaged in planning, development and operation of amusement parks in Japan and the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”).

During the year ended 31 March 2015, Sega Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sega Sammy Holdings Inc., has a division which is solely engaged in the planning, development and operation of amusement parks in Japan (the “Amusement Park Division”). On 1 April 2015, the Target Company, which was also under the common control of Sega Sammy Holdings Inc., was incorporated in Japan, and the Target Company has taken up all of the business operated under the brand names of “JOYPOLIS” and “Orbi” in Japan (the “Amusement Park Business”) from the Amusement Park Division on 1 April 2015 and the assets and liabilities of the Amusement Park Division was transferred to the Target Company (the “Transfer”). Prior to the incorporation of the Target Company, the Amusement Park Business did not exist as a statutory group and no separate statutory accounts were therefore prepared. Accordingly, the financial information of the Amusement Park Division for the year ended 31 March 2015 has been prepared by carve-out basis.

On 14 May 2015, the Target Company acquired the entire interest of Qingdao Sega (as defined below) at Nil consideration from Sega Corporation and Qingdao Sega (as defined below) became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Target Company.

The reporting entity comprises the Target Company and its subsidiary, namely Qingdao Sega (as defined below). As at the date of this report, the Target Company has direct interest in the following subsidiary, which is a private company, particulars of which are set out below:

Proportion of ownership interest Place of Target Held by establishment Particulars Group’s the and date of of issued effective Target Name of subsidiary establishment capital interest Company Principal activity

華夏世嘉（青島）娛樂 The PRC, US$17,000,000 100% 100% Planning, 遊藝有限公司 # 25 September development and 2013 operation of amusement parks in the PRC

# The statutory financial statements of Qingdao Sega for the years ended 31 December 2015 and 2016 prepared in accordance with the “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises” issued by the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China and other relevant regulations in the PRC were audited by 永潤聯合會計師事務所, certified public accountants registered in the PRC.

The details of group structure and basis of preparation and presentation for the Financial Information of the Target Group are disclosed in notes 2(b) and 2(a) of Section B respectively.

– II-9 – APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

b) Proposed Acquisition

On 1 November 2016, the Company announced its proposal to acquire 85.1% equity interest of the Target Company at an aggregate consideration of JPY600,000,000 (equivalent to HK$44,510,000) (the “Proposed Acquisition”) pursuant to the sale and purchase agreement entered into between China Theme Park Limited as the purchaser and Sega Sammy Holdings Inc. as the vendor on 31 October 2016 (the “Sales and Purchase Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Sales and Purchase Agreement, the Target Company has to carry out corporate reorganisation, all assets and liabilities of “Orbi” has to transfer to Sega Sammy Holdings Inc. on 1 January 2017. The Proposed Acquisition was completed on 1 January 2017.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Basis of presentation of Financial Information

The combined statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and the combined statements of cash flows which include the results and cash flows of the companies now comprising the Target Group and of the Amusement Park Business have been prepared by applying the principles of merger accounting which is consistent with the principles as stated in Accounting Guideline 5 “Merger accounting under common control combination” issued by the HKICPA, as if the Target Company had always been the holding company of the company now comprising the Target Group throughout the Relevant Periods. The Financial Information has been prepared as if the current group structure had been in existence throughout the Relevant Periods or since the respective dates of incorporation of the entity now comprising the Target Group which are in shorter period.

Although the Amusement Park Business was a division under Sega Corporation as at 31 March 2015 which was not formally transferred to the Target Group, it has been included in the Financial Information for the Relevant Periods as the directors of Company consider that the historical financial information of the Target Group should include all relevant activities that have been a part of the history of the Amusement Park Business that was transferred to the Target Company on 1 April 2015. Accordingly, the Financial Information should reflect all the Amusement Park Business’s activities for the Relevant Periods, including expenses incurred by Sega Corporation on the Amusement Park Business, if any.

The Financial Information was prepared based on management accounts of companies now comprising the Target Group and financial statements of Amusement Park Business which were prepared based on the items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses that can be (i) specifically identified to Amusement Park Business or (ii) allocated to the Amusement Park Business on the basis discussed below (such items include administrative expenses and income tax). Items that do not meet the criteria set out in (i) and (ii) above are not combined into the Financial Information of the Target Group.

Expenses that are relevant to the Amusement Park Business and impracticable to identify specifically are determined on the following basis: (1) administrative expenses (which were incurred for all the operations of Sega Corporation holding the Amusement Park Business and therefore impracticable to identify specifically) were allocated in accordance with working hours associated with operation of Amusement Park Business; (2) income tax expenses were calculated based on the tax rate of the Amusement Park Business as if they are separate tax reporting entity. The directors of the Company believe that the method of allocation of the above items presents a reasonable basis of estimating what the Amusement Park Business operating results would have been on a stand-alone basis for the Relevant Periods. Other than the administrative expenses and income tax expenses mentioned above, all other items of the combined statement of financial position and the combined statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the Amusement Park Business are specifically identified.

– II-10 – APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

The treasury and cash disbursement functions of the Amusement Park Business are centrally administered by Sega Corporation.

On 1 April 2015, all the assets and liabilities of the Amusement Park Business were transferred to the Target Company upon its incorporation. As a result, all the assets and liabilities of the Amusement Park Business were treated as the Target Group’s assets and liabilities throughout the Relevant Periods.

b) Basis of preparation of Financial Information

The Financial Information of the Target Group has been prepared in accordance with all applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”), which collective term includes all applicable individual Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”) and Interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”), accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. The Financial Information also comply with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange (the “Listing Rules”). Significant accounting policies adopted by the Target Group are disclosed below.

The Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of the net defined benefit retirement obligation, which is carried at fair value.

Items included in the Financial Information of each entity in the Target Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The Financial Information are presented in Japanese Yen (“JPY”), rounded to the nearest thousand except for per share data. Japanese Yen is the Target Company’s functional and the Target Group’s presentation currency.

The preparation of Financial Information in conformity with HKFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying amounts of assets and liabilities not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Judgements made by management in the application of HKFRSs that have significant effect on the Financial Information and major sources of estimate uncertainty are discussed in note 3 of Section B.

Application of HKFRSs

For the purpose of preparing and presenting the Financial Information, the Target Group has applied all HKFRSs which are effective for the Target Group’s financial year beginning on 1 April 2014 consistently throughout the Relevant Periods.

– II-11 – APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

The Target Group has not early applied the following new or revised standards, amendments and interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective as at the date of this report.

HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments1 HKFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and the related Amendments1 HKFRS 16 Leases4 Amendments to HKFRS 2 Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions1 Amendments to HKFRS 10 and Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its HKAS 28 Associate or Joint Venture3 Amendments to HKAS 7 Disclosure Initiative2 Amendments to HKAS 12 Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses2 Amendments to HKAS40 Transfer of Investment Property1 Amendments to HKFRS Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2014-2016 Cycle5

1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after a date to be determined 4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 5 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 or 1 January 2018, as appropriate

The Target Group is in the process of making an assessment of what the impact of these amendments and new standards is expected to be in the period of initial application. So far it has concluded that the adoption of them is unlikely to have a significant impact on the Financial Information.

c) Business combination under common control

The Financial Information incorporates the financial statements items of the combining entities or businesses in which the common control combination occurs as if they had been combined from the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the control of the controlling party.

The net assets of the combining entities or businesses are combined using the existing book values from the controlling party’s perspective. No amount is recognised in respect of goodwill or excess of the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of common control combination, to the extent of the continuation of the controlling party’s interest.

The combined statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income includes the results of each of the combining entities or businesses from the earliest date presented or since the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the common control, where this is a shorter period, regardless of the date of common control combination.

d) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Target Group. The Target Group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the Target entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. When assessing whether the Target Group has power, only substantive rights (held by the Target Group and other parties) are considered.

An investment in a subsidiary is consolidated into the Financial Information from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Intra-group balances, transactions and cash flows and any unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full in preparing the combined financial statements. Unrealised losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

– II-12 – APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

Changes in the Target Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries

Changes in the Target Group’s interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions, whereby adjustments are made to the amounts of controlling and non-controlling interests within consolidated equity to reflect the change in relative interests, but no adjustments are made to goodwill and no gain or loss is recognised.

When the Target Group loses control of a subsidiary, it is accounted for as a disposal of the entire interest in that subsidiary, with a resulting gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in that former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is recognised at fair value and this amount is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or, when appropriate, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or joint venture.

In the Target Company’s statement of financial position, an investment in a subsidiary is stated at cost less impairment losses (see note 2(h)), unless the investment is classified as held for sale.

e) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment, other than construction in progress, are stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, if any (see note 2(h)).

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment, less their estimated residual value, if any, using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Leasehold improvements 10 years Fixtures and equipment 5 years Machinery 5 years Software 5 years Others 5 years

Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost of the item is allocated on a reasonable basis between the parts and each part is depreciated separately. Both the useful life of an asset and its residual value, if any, are reviewed annually.

Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Cost may also include transfers from equity of any gains/losses on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of plant and equipment.

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 Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised in profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

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 arising from the retirement or disposal of an item of plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the net proceeds on disposal and the carrying amount of the item and are recognised in profit or loss on the date of retirement or disposal.

Property, plant and equipment in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Target Group’s accounting policy. Such plant and equipment are classified to the appropriate categories of plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

f) Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at costs less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation for intangible assets with finite useful lives is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less any subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

The following intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised from the date they are available for use and their estimated useful lives are as follows:

– Trademarks 5 years

Internally-generated intangible assets – research and development expenditure

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development activities (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:

• the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

• the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

• the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

• how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;

• the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and

• the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred.

Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

Derecognition of intangible assets

An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal.

Gains and losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.

– II-14 – APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

g) Leased assets

An arrangement, comprising a transaction or a series of transactions, is or contains a lease if the Target Group determines that the arrangement conveys a right to use a specific asset or assets for an agreed period of time in return for a payment or a series of payments. Such a determination is made based on an evaluation of the substance of the arrangement and is regardless of whether the arrangement takes the legal form of a lease.

(i) Classification of assets leased to the Target Group

Assets held by the Target Group under leases which transfer to the Target Group substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as being held under finance leases. Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the Target Group are classified as operating leases, with the following exceptions:

– land held for own use under an operating lease, the fair value of which cannot be measured separately from the fair value of a building situated thereon at the inception of the lease, is accounted for as being held under a finance lease, unless the building is also clearly held under an operating lease. For these purposes, the inception of the lease is the time that the lease was first entered into by the Target Group, or taken over from the previous lessee.

(ii) Assets acquired under finance leases

Where the Target Group acquires the use of assets under finance leases, the amounts representing the fair value of the leased asset, or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments, of such assets are recognised as property, plant and equipment and the corresponding liabilities, net of finance charges, are recorded as obligations under finance leases. Depreciation is provided at rates which write off the cost of the assets over the term of the relevant lease or, where it is likely the Target Group will obtain ownership of the asset, the life of the asset, as set out in note 2(e). Impairment losses are accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy as set out in note 2(h). Finance charges implicit in the lease payments are charged to profit or loss over the period of the leases so as to produce an approximately constant periodic rate of charge on the remaining balance of the obligations for each accounting period.

(iii) Operating lease charges

Where the Target Group has the use of assets under operating leases, payments made under the leases are charged to profit or loss in equal instalments over the accounting periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased asset. Lease incentives received are recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the aggregate net lease payments made. Contingent rentals are charged as expenses in the accounting period in which they are incurred.

h) Impairment of assets

(i) Impairment of trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables that are stated at cost or amortised cost are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. Objective evidence of impairment includes observable data that comes to the attention of the Target Group about one or more of the following loss events:

– significant financial difficulty of the debtor;

– a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;

– II-15 – APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

– it becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; and

– significant changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that have an adverse effect on the debtor.

If any such evidence exists, any impairment loss is determined and recognised as follows:

– For trade receivables, other receivables, loans receivable and other financial assets carried at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition of these assets), where the effect of discounting is material. This assessment is made collectively where these financial assets share similar risk characteristics, such as similar past due status, and have not been individually assessed as impaired. Future cash flows for financial assets which are assessed for impairment collectively are based on historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to the collective group.

If in a subsequent period the amount of an impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be linked objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. A reversal of an impairment loss shall not result in the asset’s carrying amount exceeding that which would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years.

Impairment losses are written off against the corresponding assets directly, except for impairment losses recognised in respect of customers included within trade receivables, whose recovery is considered doubtful but not remote. In this case, the impairment losses for doubtful debts are recorded using an allowance account. When the Target Group is satisfied that recovery is remote, the amount considered irrecoverable is written off against customers directly and any amounts held in the allowance account relating to that debt are reversed. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously charged to the allowance account are reversed against the allowance account. Other changes in the allowance account and subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off directly are recognised in profit or loss.

(ii) Impairment of other assets

Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to identify indications that the following assets may be impaired or, except in the case of goodwill, an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased:

– property, plant and equipment;

– intangible assets;

– investments in a subsidiary the Target Company’s statement of financial position.

If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. In addition, for intangible assets that are not yet available for use and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives, the recoverable amount is estimated annually whether or not there is any indication of impairment.

– II-16 – APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

– Calculation of recoverable amount

The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows independently (i.e. a cash-generating unit).

– Recognition of impairment losses

An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss whenever the carrying amount of an asset, or the cash-generating unit to which it belongs, exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit (or group of units) and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (or group of units) on a pro rata basis, except that the carrying amount of an asset will not be reduced below its individual fair value less costs of disposal (if measurable) or value in use (if determinable).

– Reversals of impairment losses

An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed.

A reversal of an impairment loss is limited to the asset’s carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the year in which the reversals are recognised.

i) Inventories

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Cost is calculated using the first in first out formula and comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories is recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.

j) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts, except where the receivables are interest-free loans made to related parties without any fixed repayment terms or the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, the receivables are stated at cost less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts (see note 2(h)).

– II-17 – APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

k) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value. Trade and other payables are subsequently stated at amortised cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

l) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term, highly liquid investments readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within three months of maturity at acquisition.

m) Employee benefits

(i) Short term employee benefits and contributions to defined contribution retirement plans

Salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave, contributions to defined contribution retirement plans and the cost of non-monetary benefits are accrued in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees. Where payment or settlement is deferred and the effect would be material, these amounts are stated at their present values.

(ii) Retirement benefit obligations

The Target Group operates various post-employment schemes, including both defined contribution retirement plans and defined benefit retirement plans.

(a) Defined contribution retirement plans

Contributions to the plans by the Target Group are calculated as a percentage of employees’ basic salaries. The retirement benefit plan cost charged to profit or loss represents contributions payable by the Target Group to the funds.

(b) Defined benefit retirement plans

The liability recognised in the combined statement of financial position in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of reporting period less the fair value of plan assets.

The present value of the defined benefit obligation, current service costs and past service costs are calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method.

The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension obligation.

The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in profit or loss.

Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the combined statement of changes in equity and in the combined statement of financial position.

– II-18 – APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

n) Income tax

Income tax for the year comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the relevant amounts of tax are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from deductible and taxable temporary differences respectively, being the differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets also arise from unused tax loses and unused tax credits.

Apart from certain limited exceptions, all deferred tax liabilities, and all deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised, are recognised. Future taxable profits that may support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences include those that will arise from the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, provided that those differences relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse either in the same period as the expected reversal of the deductible temporary difference or in periods into which a tax loss arising from the deferred tax asset can be carried back or forward. The same criteria are adopted when determining whether existing taxable temporary differences support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and credits, that is, those differences are taken into account if they relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse in a period, or periods, in which the tax loss or credit can be utilised.

The limited exceptions to recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities are those temporary differences arising from goodwill not deductible for tax purposes, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit (provided they are not part of a business combination), and temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that, in the case of taxable differences, the Group controls the timing of the reversal and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future, or in the case of deductible differences, unless it is probable that they will reverse in the future.

The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow the related tax benefit to be utilised. Any such reduction is reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.

Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognised when the liability to pay the related dividends is recognised.

Current tax balances and deferred tax balances, and movements therein, are presented separately from each other and are not offset. Current tax assets are offset against current tax liabilities, and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities, if the Company or the Group has the legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the following additional conditions are met:

– in the case of current tax assets and liabilities, the Target Company or the Target Group intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously; or

– II-19 – APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

– in the case of deferred tax assets and liabilities, if they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:

– the same taxable entity; or

– different taxable entities, which, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered, intend to realise the current tax assets and settle the current tax liabilities on a net basis or realise and settle simultaneously.

o) Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the Target Group or the Target Company has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation.

Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

p) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Provided it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Target Group and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably, revenue is recognised in profit or loss as follows:

(i) Sale of goods

Revenue is recognised when goods are delivered at the customers’ premises which is taken to be the point in time when the customer has accepted the goods and the related risks and rewards of ownership. Revenue excludes value added tax or other sales taxes and is after deduction of any trade discounts.

(ii) Admission revenue

Revenue from admission tickets sold is recognised when tickets are accepted and surrendered by the customer. Revenue from ticket sold for use at a future date is deferred until the tickets are surrendered or have expired.

Revenue from annual passes is amortised evenly over the period of their validity.

(iii) Interest income

Interest income is recognised as if it accrues using the effective interest method.

q) Translation of foreign currencies

Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the end of the reporting period. Exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies stated at fair value are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was measured.

– II-20 – APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

The results of foreign operations are translated into Japanese Yen at the exchange rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Statement of financial position items are translated into Japanese Yen at the closing foreign exchange rates ruling at the end of the reporting period. The resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated separately in equity in the exchange reserve.

On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Target Group’s entire interest in a foreign operation, a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, or a partial disposal of an interest in an associate that includes a foreign operation of which the retained interest becomes a financial asset), all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Target Company are reclassified to profit or loss.

In addition, in relation to a partial disposal of a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation that does not result in the Target Group losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences are re-attributed to non-controlling interests and are not recognised in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals (i.e. partial disposals of associates that do not result in the Target Group losing significant influence), the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences is reclassified to profit or loss.

r) Related parties

(a) A person, or a close member of that person’s family, is related to the Target Group if that person:

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

(ii) has significant influence over the Target Group; or

(iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the Target Group or the Target Group’s parent.

(b) An entity is related to the Target Group if any of the following conditions applies:

(i) The entity and the Group are members of the same group (which means that each parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others).

(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) Both entities 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 Group or an entity related to the Target Group.

(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 Group or to the Target Group’s parent.

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.

s) Segment reporting

Operating segments, and the amounts of each segment item reported in the financial statements, are identified from the financial information provided regularly to the Target Group’s executive

– II-21 – APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

directors (the chief operating decision maker) for the purposes of allocating resources to, and assessing the performance of, the Target Group’s various lines of business and geographical locations.

Individually material operating segments are not aggregated for financial reporting purposes unless the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in respect of the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, the type or class of customers, the methods used to distribute the products or provide the services, and the nature of the regulatory environment. Operating segments which are not individually material may be aggregated if they share a majority of these criteria.

t) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. These costs are expensed in the income and expenditure account in the period in which they are incurred, except to the extent that they are capitalized as being directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to prepare for its intended use or sale.

Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended or ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are interrupted or completed.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

a) Key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the process of applying the company’s accounting policies which are described in note 2, management has made certain key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimated uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, as discussed below.

(i) Current taxation

Judgment is required in determining the amount of the provision for taxation and the timing of payment of the related taxation. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax provisions in the periods in which such determination are made.

(ii) Impairment of receivables

The Target Group estimates impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts resulting from the inability of the customers and other debtors to make the required payments. The Target Group bases the estimates on the ageing of the receivables balances, debtors’ credit-worthiness, and the historical write-off experience. If the financial condition of the debtors were to deteriorate, actual impairment losses would be higher than estimated.

(iii) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

The Target Group’s management determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortization charges for its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. This estimate is based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets 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 and amortization 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.

– II-22 – APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

(iv) Impairment of property, plant and equipment

The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing its value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset, which requires significant judgment relating to level of revenue and amount of operating costs. The Target Group uses all readily available information in determining an amount that is a reasonable approximation of the recoverable amount, including estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections of revenue and operating costs. Changes in these estimates could have a significant impact on the carrying amount of the assets and could result in additional impairment charge or reversal of impairment in future periods.

(v) Pension costs

The Target Group participates in a defined benefit plan operated by the former shareholders of the Company, Sega Sammy Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries. Pension costs for defined benefit plans are assessed using the projected unit credit service pro-rate method in accordance with HKAS 19, Employee Benefits. Under this method, the cost of providing pensions is charged to the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income so as to spread the regular cost over the future service lives of employees in accordance with the advice of the actuaries who carry out a full valuation of the plans. The pension obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period based on government agency or high quality corporate bonds with currency and term similar to the estimated term of benefit obligations. Remeasurements arising from defined benefit plans are recognised in other comprehensive income in the year in which they occur and reflected immediately in retained profit. Remeasurements comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset)) and any change in the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset)).

Management appointed actuaries to carry out a full valuation of these pension plans to determine the pension obligations that are required to be disclosed and accounted for in the financial statements in accordance with the HKFRS requirements.

The actuaries use assumptions and estimates in determining the fair value of the defined benefit plans and evaluate and update these assumptions on an annual basis. Judgement is required to determine the principal actuarial assumptions to determine the present value of defined benefit obligations and service costs. Changes to the principal actuarial assumptions can significantly affect the present value of plan obligations and service costs in future periods.

(vi) Provision for reinstatement costs

The Target Group makes provision for reinstatement costs based on the best estimate of the expected costs to be incurred upon expiry of the respective rental agreements, which are subject to uncertainty and might differ from the actual costs incurred. Any increase or decrease in the provision would affect profit or loss in future years.

– II-23 – APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

(vii) Impairment of intangible assets with finite useful lives

The Target Group tests whether the intangible assets which have finite useful lives have suffered any impairment whenever there is any indication that the intangible assets have been impaired. The Target Group has made estimations and assumptions in relation to the potential future cash flows of identifiable intangible assets. This assessment involves estimations and assumptions relating to potential future revenues, appropriate discount rates and the useful lives of such assets. The recoverable amounts of these intangible assets have been determined based on the value-in-use calculations, which have been estimated using discounted cash flow method. The directors of the Company consider that the recoverable amount exceeded the carrying amount of the intangible assets and no impairment was recognised during the year.

4. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Target Group’s operating segments are determined based on the internal reports about components of the Target Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.

The Target Group’s operating and reportable segments currently are: (i) establishment and operation of indoor theme park and (ii) amusement machine sales. The CODM considers the Target Group has two operating and reportable segments which are based on the internal organization and reporting structure. This is the basis upon which the Target Group is organised.

Notes:

(i) On 31 December 2016, the directors of the Target Group conducted a review of the property, plant and equipment and determined that certain of the Target Group’s property, plant and equipment are specially identified to be impaired because those assets used in Qingdao sustained continuing loss and in the opinion of the directors of the Target Company, these item of property, plant and equipment have no or little commercial value. Accordingly, an impairment loss of approximately JPY1,080,314,000 in respect of these property, plant and equipment have been recognised during the year.

In consideration of the performance in Japan in the past few years, the Target Group assessed the recoverable amounts of the property, plant and equipment in Japan on 31 December 2016 and as a result the carrying amount of certain items of property, plant and equipment were written down to their recoverable amount of JPY1,088,600,000. An aggregate impairment loss of approximately JPY501,759,000 was recognised in “administrative expenses”. The estimates of the recoverable amount were based on the fair values using the market approach, which considers prices recently paid for similar assets, with adjustment made to the indicated market prices to reflect condition and utility of the appraised property, plant and equipment relative to the market comparative.

(ii) The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment held by the Target Group under finance leases is approximately JPY976,320,000,JPY473,381,000 and Nil as at 31 March 2015, 2016 and 2017 respectively.

(iii) As set out in note 1(b) in the Section B, pursuant to the sales and purchase agreement entered into between China Theme Park Limited and Sega Sammy Holdings Inc., the Target Company has to carry out corporate reorganization, all assets and liabilities of “Orbi” were transferred to Sega Sammy Holdings Inc.

– II-35 – APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

b) Impairment of trade receivables

Impairment losses in respect of trade receivables are recorded using an allowance account unless the Target Group is satisfied that recovery of the amount is remote, in which case the impairment loss is written off against accounts receivable directly (see note 2 of Section B). During the Relevant Periods, no provision is recognised in respect of trade receivables.

c) Trade receivables that are not impaired

The ageing analysis of trade receivables that are neither individually nor collectively considered to be impaired are as follows:

At 31 March 2015 2016 2017 JPY’000 JPY’000 JPY’000

Neither past due nor impaired 125,617 59,172 67,278 Past due but not impaired Less than 1 month past due 966 436 4,784 1 to 3 months past due 15,695 42,197 35,131 3 months to 1 year past due 14,562 49,526 72,359

156,840 151,331 179,552

Receivables that were neither past due nor impaired relate to a range of customers for whom there was no recent history of default.

Receivables that were past due but not impaired relate to a number of independent customers that have a good track record with the Target Group. Based on past experience, management believes that no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of these balances as there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the balances are still considered fully recoverable. The Target Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.

– II-42 – APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

(b) The defined service benefit retirement plans of the Target Group are measured by projected unit credit service pro-rate method with reference to the valuation performed by Willis Towers Watsons, an independent qualified professional valuer.

(c) The current service cost and the net interest on net defined benefit liability are recognised in the following line items in the combined statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income:

2015 2016 2017 JPY’000 JPY’000 JPY’000

Cost of sales 6,649 3,322 6,260 Administrative expenses 40,051 45,248 39,013

46,700 48,570 45,273

(d) The principal actuarial assumptions adopted at the end of each reporting period are as follows:

2015 2016 2017

Discount rate 1.2% 0.6% 0.7%

The Target Group’s sensitivity analysis for the discount rate as of the end of each reporting period based on reasonably possible change of the relevant actuarial assumption is as follows:

Increase/(decrease) in retirement benefit obligations in the combined statement of financial position 2015 2016 2017 JPY’000 JPY’000 JPY’000

0.25% increase in discount rate (30,017) (27,959) (15,927) 0.25% decrease in discount rate 61,314 29,138 16,587

The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to the significant actuarial assumption, the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit service pro-rate method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the pension liability recognised within the combined statement of financial position.

(e) The plan assets are held in the name of the SEGA Group Corporate Pension Fund, which is independently run from Sega Group. The Target Company is a participating company under Sega Group’s plan and has defined benefits retirement plan for eligible employees.

(f) Risk exposure

Management believes that general risks, such as investment, changes in bond yields and life expectancy risk in the defined benefit plan are not significant.

b) Financial risk managements and policies

The Target Group has exposure to the credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and currency risk arising from financial instruments. The policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

i) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Target Group. The Target Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.

The Target Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to accounts receivable, other receivables, amounts due from related companies and loans receivables. In order to minimize risk, the management has a credit policy in place and the exposures to these credit risks are monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations of its debtors’ financial position and condition are performed on each and every major debtor periodically. These evaluations focus on the debtor’s past history of making payments when due and current ability to pay, and take into account information specific to the debtor as well as pertaining to the economic environment in which the debtor operates. Accounts receivable are usually due within 60 days from the date of billing. Debtors with overdue balances, which will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, are requested to settle all outstanding balances before any further credit is granted. Normally, the Target Group does not obtain collateral from customers.

The Target Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each debtor. The default risk of the industry in which debtors operate also has an influence on credit risk. At the end of the reporting period, the Target Group has no concentration of credit risk of the total accounts receivable due from the Target Group’s largest customer and five largest customers.

With respect to credit risk arising from amounts due from related companies and loans receivables, the Target Group’s exposure to credit risk arising from default of the counterparties is limited as the counterparties have good history of repayment and the Target Group does not expect to incur a significant loss for uncollected amounts due from directors and ultimate holding company.

The credit risk on balances of cash and cash equivalents is low as these balances are placed with reputable financial institutions.

Further quantitative disclosures in respect of the Target Group’s exposure of credit risk arising from accounts receivables and other receivables are set out in notes 14 and 15 respectively.

ii) Liquidity risk

Individual operating entities within the Target Group are responsible for their own cash management, including the raising of loans to cover expected cash demands, subject to approval of the Board of Directors. The Target Group’s policy is to regularly monitor current and expected liquidity requirements and its compliance with lending covenants to ensure that it maintains sufficient amount of cash and adequate committed lines of funding from immediate holding company to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term. The Target Group relies on its liquid funds and borrowings as significant sources of liquidity.

iii) Interest rate risk

The Target Group manages its interest rate exposure based on interest rate level and outlook as well as the potential impact on the Target Group’s financial position arising from volatility. The Target Group currently does not have any interest rate hedging policy in relation to fair value and cash flow interest rate risks. The directors monitor the Target Group’s exposure on an ongoing basis and will consider hedging the interest rate should the need arise.

The following table details the interest rate profile of the Target Group’s assets and liabilities as at the end of the relevant period:

Interest rate 2015 2016 2017 JPY000 JPY000 JPY000

Assets Fixed deposits Fixed 109,137 124,049 111,740 Bank balances Variable 2,576,205 812,811 362,073

Liabilities Obligation under finance lease Fixed (2,383,338) (1,589,147) – Loan from former shareholder Fixed – (229,340) (385,400)

Net 302,004 (881,627) 88,413

All of the loans from the former shareholder which are fixed rate instrument are insensitive to any change in interest rates. A change in interest rates at the end of the reporting period would not affect profit or loss.

c) Capital management

The Target Groups manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Target Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders through the optimisation of the equity balance. The Target Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from prior periods. The capital structure of the Target Group consists of debt, which include the borrowings and obligation under finance lease, net of cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to owners of the Target Company, comprising issued share capital, reserves and retained profits. The management of the Target Group reviews the capital structure on a regular basis. As part of this review, the management considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. The management will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends and the issue of new shares as well as the issue of new debt or the redemption of existing debt.

d) Fair value

The carrying amounts of the Target Group’s financial instruments carried at cost or amortised cost are not materially different from their fair value as at 31 March 2015, 2016 and 2017.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE ENLARGED GROUP

A. INTRODUCTION

The following is an unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of the Enlarged Group (the “Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities”) which has been prepared in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules for the purpose of illustrating the effect of (i) the conditional acquisition of 85.1% interest in CA Sega Joypolis Limited (“CA Sega”) (the “Acquisition”); and (ii) the exercise of Put Option granted to Sega Sammy Holdings Limited (“SEGA SAMMY”) on the Group’s financial information as if both the Acquisition and exercise of the Put Option (collectively referred to as the “Transactions”) had been completed at 30 September 2016. As Put Option may be exercised at the discretion of SEGA SAMMY during the Put Period which is from the third anniversary of the Completion Date until the date immediately before the sixth anniversary of the Completion at different Put Prices, for illustration and for simplicity, it is assumed that Put Option is exercised at a Put Price of Japanese Yen (“JPY”) 210,105,496 (equivalent to Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”) 13.93 million), which represents the maximum Put Price if the Put Option had been exercised on or after the fifth anniversary of the Completion Date and until the day immediately before the sixth anniversary of the Completion Date. Pursuant to Rule 14.74(1) of the Listing Rules, the grant of Put Option to SEGA SAMMY will be classified as if the Put Option had been exercised. For reference, the alternative scenario assuming Put Option is exercised at minimum Put Price is also detailed in note 4 below.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities of the Group is prepared based on (i) the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 30 September 2016 which has been extracted from the published interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 September 2016 and (ii) the audited consolidated statement of financial position of CA Sega as at 31 March 2017 as extracted from the accountants’ report thereon set out in Appendix II to this circular, after making unaudited pro forma adjustments that are (i) directly attributable and (ii) factually supportable, as if the Transactions had been completed at 30 September 2016.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities has been prepared by the Directors based on a number of assumptions, estimates and uncertainties for illustrative purposes only and because of its nature, it may not give a true picture of the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of the Group upon completion of the Transactions had taken place at 30 September 2016, or any future dates.

C. NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

1. The unaudited consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of the Group as at 30 September 2016 is extracted from the published interim report of the Group for the six months ended 30 September 2016.

2. The pro forma adjustment represent 100% of assets and liabilities of the Target Group for consolidation into the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position as if the Transactions had completed as of 30 September 2016. The audited consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of the Target Group as at 31 March 2017 is extracted from the accountants’ report of the Target Group as set out in Appendix II to this circular.

3. The audited consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of the Target Group is translated into HK$ at an exchange rate of JPY1=HK$0.06950. No representation is made that JPY denominated amounts have been, could have been or could be converted to HK$, or vice versa, at that rate or at any other rates or at all.

4. For the purpose of preparing the unaudited pro forma financial information, the Directors assumed that with the exception of intangible assets (details set out below), the pro forma fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities of the CA Sega Group are the same as their respective carrying amounts as at 31 March 2017.

The Group has applied the acquisition method in accordance with HKFRS 3 “Business Combinations” to account for the Transactions as if the Transactions had been completed on 30 September 2016 and the calculation of pro forma goodwill is as follows:

HK$’000

Consideration (Note i) 53,720 Fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired (excluding intangible assets) (19,937) Pro forma fair value adjustment in relation to intangible assets (Note ii) (24,152) Deferred tax liability arising from pro forma fair value adjustment to intangible assets (Note iii) 6,038

Goodwill 15,669

Note i: Consideration refers to the aggregate of (i) cash consideration of JPY600 million (equivalent to HK$39.79 million) and (ii) the put price of JPY210,105,496 (equivalent to HK$13.93 million translated by using an exchange rate of JPY1: HK$0.06630), which may be different from the actual exchange rate on the completion date of exercise of Put Option.

For the purpose of preparing the unaudited pro forma financial information, the Directors assumed the Put Price of the Put Option is the maximum Put Price in the case that the Put Option is exercised on or after the fifth anniversary of the Completion Date and until the day immediately before the sixth anniversary of the Completion Date, no representation is made that JPY denominated amounts have been, could have been or could be converted to HK$, or vice versa, at that rate applied or at any other rates or at all.

– III-4 – APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

Note ii: The pro forma fair value adjustments in relation to intangible assets mainly arise from the recognition, on a pro forma basis, of a trademark. The pro forma fair values of the intangible asset are based on directors’ estimation with reference to a valuation carried out by Asset Appraisal Limited, an independent qualified professional valuer not connected with the Group. Asset Appraisal Limited is a member of The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.

The Acquisition will enable the Enlarged Group to significantly broaden its business in the interactive entertainment park industry. The Enlarged Group will leverage on the expertise and resources of the CA Sega Group and the well established reputation and market recognition of the Trademarks, which were granted by SEGA Holdings upon Completion of the Acquisition, in support of future development of the interactive entertainment park industry. Accordingly, a pro forma fair value of a trademark amounting to HK$24.2 million is recognised.

Note iii: The deferred tax liability relating to the pro forma fair value of intangible assets amounted to approximately HK$6.0 million, which is calculated at the People’s Republic of China Enterprise Income Tax rate of 25%.

The pro forma fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities and goodwill, if any, in relation to the Acquisition are subject to change upon the completion of purchase price allocation at the completion date of the Acquisition, which may be substantially different from their estimated amounts used in the preparation of this unaudited pro forma financial information.

The Directors have assessed whether there is any impairment on the goodwill in accordance with HKAS 36 “Impairment of Assets” and concluded that there is no impairment in respect of the goodwill of the Group. The recoverable amount of the cash generating unit comprising the goodwill is determined based on value in use calculation. That calculation uses cash flow projections based on a 5-year financial budgets approved by the management of the CA Sega Group. Key assumptions for the value in use calculations relate to the estimation of cash inflows/outflows which include budgeted gross margins and operating expenses, such estimation is based on the unit’s past performance and the management’s expectations for the market development.

The Directors confirmed that they will apply consistent accounting policies, principal assumptions and valuation methods to assess impairment of the goodwill in subsequent reporting periods in accordance with the requirement of HKAS 36.

For the purpose of preparing the unaudited pro forma financial information, the put price of the Put Option is the maximum exercise price in case if the Put Option will be exercised on or after the fifth anniversary of the Completion Date and until the day immediately before the sixth anniversary of the Completion Date. Whereas, if the put price of the Put Option is the minimum exercise price in case if the Put Option will be exercised on or after the third anniversary of the Completion Date and until the day immediately before the fifth anniversary of the Completion Date, the consideration payable will be the aggregate of (i) cash consideration of JPY600 million (equivalent to HK$39.79 million) and (ii) the put price of JPY105,052,748 (equivalent to HK$6.97 million translated by using an exchange rate of JPY1: HK$0.06635, which may be different from the actual exchange rate on the completion date of exercise of put option). No representation is made that JPY denominated amount have been, could have been or could be converted to HK$, or vice versa, that rate or at any other rates or at all.

In such scenario, the pro forma goodwill will be reduced to HK$8.7 million whereas the amount of the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, the pro forma fair value adjustment to intangible assets and the deferred tax liability arising from pro forma fair value adjustment to intangible assets are remain unchanged.

5. The adjustments are made to reflect the reclassification of (i) amount due to intermediate holding company and ultimate holding company before the Acquisition, to other payables and (ii) amount due from (to) former shareholder and loan from former shareholder to amount due from (to) non-controlling interest and loan from non-controlling interest in the Group. The amounts are unsecured, interest-free and repayable on demand, except for the loan from non-controlling interest bears interest at 2.48% per annum.

6. The adjustment is made to reflect the estimated transaction expenses, such as legal and professional fees of approximately HK$15.8 million incurred that directly attributable to the Acquisition.

7. Details of the Put Option are set out in the paragraph headed “SLC Shareholders Agreement” in the section headed “Letter from the Board” of this circular. For the purpose of presenting pro forma financial information and pursuant to Rule 14.74(1) of the Listing Rules, the Option is assumed to be exercised.

For the preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements, such Put Option granted to non-controlling shareholders of CA Sega with a variable Put Price, which will be settled other than by exchange of fixed amount of cash for a fixed number of shares in CA Sega, is treated as a derivative and is recognised at fair value upon initial recognition, which is the effective date on 1 January 2017. Any changes in fair value in subsequent reporting periods are recognised in profit or loss.

The gross financial liability arising from the Put Option is recognised when contractual obligation to purchase the shares in CA Sega is established even if the obligation is conditional on SEGA SAMMY exercising a right to sell back the shares to CTP. The liability for the share redemption amount is initially recognised and measured at present value of the estimated purchase price with the corresponding debit to the non-controlling interests. In subsequent periods, the remeasurement of the present value of the estimated gross obligation under the written put option to the SEGA SAMMY is recognised in profit or loss.

The fair value of the Put Option is to be measured by a valuation technique using Level 3 inputs i.e. unobservable inputs for the Put Option, which is subject to estimates.

8. No adjustments have been made to reflect any trading results or other transactions of the Group and the CA Sega Group entered into subsequent to 30 September 2016.

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

To the Directors of China Animation Characters Company Limited

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of unaudited pro forma financial information of China Animation Characters Company Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Group”) by the directors of the Company (the “Directors”) for illustrative purposes only. The unaudited pro forma financial information consists of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as at 31 March 2017 and related notes as set out on pages III-1 to III-6 of the circular issued by the Company dated 29 June 2017 (the “Circular”). The applicable criteria on the basis of which the Directors have compiled the unaudited pro forma financial information are described on pages III-1 to III-6 of the Circular.

The unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled by the Directors to illustrate the impact of the conditional acquisition of 85.1% interest in CA Sega Joypolis Limited (“CA Sega”); and (ii) the exercise of put option to acquire the remaining 14.9% interest in CA Sega (the “Put Option”) granted to Sega Sammy Holdings Limited on the Group’s financial information as if both the Acquisition and exercise of the Put Option had been taken place at 30 September 2016. As part of this process, information about the Group’s financial position has been extracted by the Directors from the Group’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2016, on which a review conclusion has been published.

Directors’ Responsibilities for the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The Directors are responsible for compiling the unaudited pro forma financial information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”) and with reference to Accounting Guideline 7 “Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars” (“AG 7”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”).

– III-7 – APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

Our Independence and Quality Control

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the “Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants” issued by the HKICPA, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour.

Our firm applies Hong Kong Standard on Quality Control 1 “Quality Control for Firms that Perform Audits and Reviews of Financial Statements, and Other Assurance and Related Services Engagements” issued by the HKICPA and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Reporting Accountants’ Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by paragraph 4.29(7) of the Listing Rules, on the unaudited pro forma financial information and to report our opinion to you. We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the unaudited pro forma financial information beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3420 “Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus” issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that the reporting accountants plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Directors have compiled the unaudited pro forma financial information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules and with reference to AG 7 issued by the HKICPA.

For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the unaudited pro forma financial information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the unaudited pro forma financial information.

The purpose of unaudited pro forma financial information included in an investment circular is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant event or transaction on unadjusted financial information of the Group as if the event had occurred or the transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the event or transaction at 30 September 2016 would have been as presented.

– III-8 – APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the unaudited pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the Directors in the compilation of the unaudited pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

• the related unaudited pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and

• the unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.

The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants’ judgement, having regard to the reporting accountants’ understanding of the nature of the Group, the event or transaction in respect of which the unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the unaudited pro forma 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:

(a) the unaudited pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis stated;

(b) such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Group; and

(c) the adjustments are appropriate for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma financial information as disclosed pursuant to paragraph 4.29(1) of the Listing Rules.
