document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as amended (the ``PRIIPs Regulation'') for

our business and operating strategies;

various business opportunities that we may pursue;
.
our operations and business prospects;
.
our financial condition and results of operations;
.
availability of and changes to bank loans and other forms of financing;
.
the industry outlook generally;
.
future developments in and the performance of the property market in Guangdong Province and
other areas of the PRC;
.
changes in political, economic, legal and social conditions in the PRC, including the PRC
government's, particularly the Guangdong provincial government's, specific policies which affect
land supply, availability and cost of financing, and pre-sale, pricing and volume of our property
developments;
.
the timely repayments by our purchasers of mortgage loans guaranteed by us;
.
changes in competitive conditions and our ability to compete under these conditions;
.
the performance of the obligations and undertakings of the independent contractors under various
construction, building, interior decoration and installation contracts;
.
changes in currency exchange rates;
.
significant delay in obtaining the occupation permits, proper legal titles or approvals for our
properties under development or held for future development; and
vi

.
other factors beyond our control.

include, but are not limited to, those discussed under ``Risk Factors'' and elsewhere in this offering
memorandum. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which
reflect our management's view only as of the date of this offering memorandum. We undertake no
obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking
events discussed in this offering memorandum might not occur.

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards
(``HKFRS'') issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (``HKICPA'') which
differ in certain respects from generally accepted accounting principles (``GAAP'') in certain other
countries.
We use EBITDA to provide additional information about our operating performance. EBITDA is not a
standard measure under either U.S. GAAP or HKFRS. As the property development business is capital
intensive, capital expenditure requirements and levels of debt and interest expenses may have a
significant impact on the profit for the year of companies with similar operating results. Therefore, we
believe the investor community commonly uses this type of financial measure to assess the operating
performance of companies in our market sector.
We operate in a capital intensive industry. We use EBITDA in addition to profit for the year because
profit for the year includes many accounting items associated with capital expenditures, such as
depreciation, as well as non-operating items, such as amortization of intangible assets and interest
income and interest expense. These accounting items may vary between companies depending on the
method of accounting adopted by a company. By minimizing differences in capital expenditures and the
associated depreciation expenses as well as reported tax positions, intangible assets amortization and
interest income and expense, EBITDA provides further information about our operating performance and
an additional measure for comparing our operating performance with other companies' results. Funds
depicted by this measure may not be available for debt service due to covenant restrictions, capital
expenditure requirements and other commitments.
Our definition of EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to profit
for the year or as an indicator of operating performance or any other standard measure under HKFRS or
U.S. GAAP. Our definition of EBITDA does not account for taxes and other non- operating cash
expenses. Our EBITDA measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other
companies. See ``Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Non-GAAP Financial Measures'' for more information.
