Annex 4 Evaluation Report
VIII. Appraisal Methods
(1) Analysis of the Selection of Appraisal Methods
There are three commonly adopted methods for the appraisal of the total value of shareholder's rights and interests: market method, income method and assets-based method.
Appraisers analyse the applicability of the three methods on the basis of relevant conditions such as appraisal purpose, appraisal target, value type and the circumstance of data collection in order to make appropriate selection of one or more basic appraisal methods for asset appraisal.
1. Market method, also known as market comparison method, is for the purpose of determining company value. It is an appraisal method that compares the company entrusted for appraisal with similar companies that had made transactions in the recent past. It is for the purpose of extracting the entrusting company value from the known value of the similar companies with recent transactions by analysing circumstances and dates of the transaction as well as all the main financial indexes and correcting certain individual factors. The appraisal principle of market comparison method serves the same as the principle of substitution in economics. Based on the economics transaction theory, in the same market and supply-demand environment, goods of the same function should share the same price and can be substituted for each other. Therefore, when two or more goods of the same function, in other words goods of substitution relationship coexist in the same market, the price of such goods will compete and restrain each other and eventually converge.
Due to lack of comparable transaction case data of similar companies, the market comparison method is considered inappropriate in this case for the appraisal of the company of this project.
2. The income method, or the present value method, is an approach to value the worth of the appraised object via discounting the expected future gains to present value on base date of the appraisal. The present value of earnings refers to the total current value of the company via discounting the expected future benefits to present value (or discounted present value for short).
Annex 4 Evaluation Report
The Income method has been reconsidered for its applicability before being used for this appraisal. Considering the company and its product properties, e.g. the company was only established for a short period of time, its expected benefits and the trend for product prices are neither stable nor predicable. The company was founded in May 2013, which is only half of a year since its establishment, therefore adopting the income method for this appraisal is not appropriate.
3.The asset-based approach, or the cost method, is also a method to value the worth of a company, which first appraises every single asset of the company, adds them up, and then minus the valuation of liabilities.
Valuation of total shareholder equity = valuation of total assets – valuation of total liabilities
Valuation of partial shareholder equity = valuation of total shareholder equity* shareholding ratio* premium (or discount) rate
Based on the above analysis, the asset-based method (cost method) is suitable for this appraisal.
(2) Technical approach of Asset-based Method
Total shareholder equity reflects the comprehensive value generated from business operation which involves both tangible and intangible assets, hence the asset-based method can also be used for all shareholder equity value.
Appraisal approach on asset-based method: valuation of total shareholder equity shall be measured in a fair way based on the valuation of the company's every single asset and liability.
Technical approach:
Total shareholder equity value = the sum of the valuation of each appraised asset – valuation of liabilities
(3) Asset-based method specific procedures
1. Appraisal of monetary funds
Monetary funds shall mainly be appraised via verifying the account: cash shall be checked on-site on a daily basis and be appraised according to the base date of the appraisal adopting retrospective adjustment; Cash in bank shall be appraised via checking the details and balance of every single account from all banks with bank statements on the base date of the appraisal.
Annex 4 Evaluation Report
2. Appraisal method for liabilities
Liabilities are economic liabilities that the entity is obliged to pay back by assets or labour services in the future. The current liabilities in this appraisal includes other payables, tax payable, and etc. Liabilities shall be appraised based on the amount of the effective liabilities that the property owner is obliged to shoulder after realizing the objective of this appraisal, and those liabilities which are not effective liabilities shall be measured as zero.
The total shareholder equity can then be appraised through the above valuation.
IX. Procedures and situations of the appraisal

X. Appraisal assumptions

2. The assumed precondition for appraisal is that the appraised target is traded in the open market.
3. This appraisal report is only for providing a value reference for this specific appraisal purpose, and does not take into account the impact of other economic activity and derived value on the conclusion of the appraisal.
4. General preconditions for the validity of the conclusion in this appraisal:
4.1 The authenticity, validity, and accuracy of all the documents provided by the entrusting party and the appraised company. The legal rights certification is obtained for assets owned by the company.
4.2 There are no major changes in the country’s macro-economic policies and socio-economic environment of the local region.

Annex 4 Evaluation Report
4.4 Did not consider the impact of natural forces and other force majeure conditions, and did not consider the possible impact of special transaction methods on the conclusion of the appraisal.
5. Appraisal assumptions and restrictive conditions for validity of the conclusions of the appraisal.
It is assumed that apart from projected earnings or liabilities that the registered asset appraiser knows of, there are no other projected earnings or liabilities.
6. The practicing registered asset appraiser for this project knows that the asset’s liquidity may have a major impact on the appraisal target’s value. Since it is impossible to obtain data on the industry or the related asset right trading situation, there is a lack of basis for the analysis of the asset liquidity. This round’s appraisal conclusion does not take into account the impact of the liquidity of the asset on the value of the target to be appraised.
This appraisal report and appraisal conclusion is based on the above-mentioned appraisal assumptions and restricting conditions, including the results obtained through the principles, basis, conditions, methods, and procedures confirmed in the appraisal report. If there are any changes to the above-mentioned preconditions, this appraisal report and its appraisal conclusion will generally become automatically invalid.
