3. Principal assumptions for the income approach adopted for the Valuation Report

The appraised value of the entire equity interest of Development Co under the Valuation Report was prepared using the income approach, through the use of the discounted cash flow method. As a result, such valuation constitutes a profit forecast under Rule 14.61 of the Listing Rules. Therefore, this announcement is subject to the requirements under Rules 14.60A and 14.62 of the Listing Rules in relation to profit forecast.

INFORMATION ON DEVELOPMENT CO

Development Co is a limited liability company incorporated in the PRC on 28 May 2003. Development Co is principally engaged in the operation of service areas as well as roadside advertising along the expressways operated by the Group. As of the date of this announcement, Development Co is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and upon Completion, the Company will cease to hold any interest in Development Co and Development Co will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company.

According  to  the  audited  financial  statements  of  Development  Co  prepared  in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the PRC which was audited by the PRC statutory auditor of Development Co, the net asset value of Development Co as at 31 December 2015 was RMB362,861,274.05. A summary of the financial information of Development Co for the financial years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015 according to the PRC audited financial statements is set out below:

	As at 31 December
	2014	2015
	RMB'000 (audited)	RMB'000 (audited)
Net profit before taxation and extraordinary items	84,134	67,349
Net profit after taxation and extraordinary items	61,291	47,252

TRANSACTIONS WITH DEVELOPMENT CO AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES AFTER COMPLETION

Upon Completion, Development Co will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Communications Group, so Development Co and its subsidiaries will become the connected persons of the Company upon Completion. As a result, should the Company enter into any new transactions or continue any existing transactions with Development Co and/or its subsidiaries after Completion, such transactions would constitute connected transactions or continuing connected transactions for the Company upon and following Completion.

The Company is negotiating with Advertising Co  (a 70% owned subsidiary of Development Co) for an arrangement which would allow Advertising Co for the term of 3 years, to continue to use the land along the Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo expressway and Shangsan expressway operated by the Company and its subsidiaries to conduct its advertising related business.

The Company is also negotiating with Development Co for a leasing agreement which would allow Development Co to lease from the Company an office located in Hangzhou for the period of 3 years.

The Company intends to enter into the above-mentioned agreements with Development Co or Advertising Co (as the case may be) upon Completion. Each of them will constitute a continuing connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. It is expected that the highest applicable percentage ratios under the Listing Rules for these agreements (whether on a standalone basis or  in  aggregate) would be less than 0.1%, so each of them will be exempted from the reporting, announcement, annual review and independent shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Further announcements will be made by the Company (if required) as and when appropriate in accordance with all application requirements of the Listing Rules.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

The Board considers that the Disposal will allow the Company to focus on the expressway operation  business, and will streamline the Company's existing business segments and operations, and sharpen  the Company's strategic focus on its core business.

INDEPENDENT ASSURANCE REPORT ON CALCULATION OF DISCOUNTED FUTURE ESTIMATED CASH FLOW SIN CONNECTION WITH THE VALUATION OF THE 100% EQUITY INTEREST IN ZHEJIANG EXPRESSWAY INVESTMENT DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. ("DEVELOPMENT CO")

TO THE DIRECTORS OF ZHEJIANG EXPRESSWAY  CO.,  LTD.  (THE "COMPANY")

We have examined the calculation of the discounted future estimated cash flows on which the valuation prepared by Tian Yuan Asset Appraisal Limited  dated 25 September  2016, in respect of the entire  equity  interest  in Development Co as at 31 July 2016 (the "Valuation") is based. Development Co is a company established in the People's Republic of China whose principal assets are the operational assets acquired for operation of service areas as well as roadside advertising along the expressways operated by the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group"). The Valuation based on the discounted future estimated cash flows is regarded as a profit forecast under Rule 14.61 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules") and will be included in an announcement dated 17 October 2016 to be issued by the Company in connection with the disposal of 100% equity interest in Development Co (the "Announcement").

Directors' responsibility for the discounted future estimated cash flows

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation  of  the  discounted future estimated cash flows in accordance with the bases and assumptions determined by the directors and set out in the section headed "Principal assumptions for the income approach adopted for the Valuation Report" of the Announcement (the "Assumptions"). This responsibility includes carrying out appropriate procedures relevant to the preparation of the discounted future estimated cash flows for the Valuation and applying an appropriate basis of preparation; and making estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

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 Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the "HKICPA"), which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behavior.

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' responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the arithmetical accuracy of the calculation of the discounted future estimated cash flows on which  the  Valuation  is based and to report solely to you, as a body, as required by Rule 14.62(2) of the Listing Rules, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

Our engagement was conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance

Engagements 3000 (Revised) "Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information" issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the assurance engagement to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the discounted future estimated cash flows, so far as the calculations are concerned, have been properly compiled in accordance with the Assumptions. Our work was limited primarily to making inquiries of the Company's management, considering the analyses and assumptions on which the discounted future estimated cash flows are based and checking the arithmetic accuracy of the compilation of the discounted future estimated cash flows. Our work does not constitute any valuation of Development Co.

Because the Valuation relates to discounted future estimated cash flows, no accounting policies of the Company have been adopted in its preparation. The Assumptions include hypothetical assumptions about future events and management actions which cannot be confirmed and verified in the same way as past results and these may or may not occur. Even if the events and actions anticipated do occur, actual results are still likely to be different from the Valuation and the variation may be material. Accordingly, we have not reviewed, considered or conducted any work on the reasonableness and the validity of the Assumptions and do not express any opinion whatsoever thereon.

Opinion

Based on the foregoing, in our opinion, the discounted future estimated cash flows, so far as the  calculation is concerned,  have been properly compiled, in all material respects, in accordance with the Assumptions.
