CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

After the establishment of the JV Company, application should be made to the CIRC for the commencement of business. The CIRC will review the application and will either issue the insurance business licence to the JV Company or notify the JV Company of the rejection of the application within 60 days.

After obtaining the insurance business licence issued by the CIRC, the JV Company should register at the relevant government authority and obtain the business licence from the administration for industry and commerce of the PRC before commencement of business.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had only entered into the Investment Agreement for the establishment of the JV Company, and the application for obtaining the relevant licenses had not yet commenced.

The principal activity of the JV Company will be writing of life insurance business, providing life, annuities, accident and health insurance products in the PRC. It is proposed that the JV Company will commence its operation in Shanghai for the first two years after its establishment. After building up a solid foundation in the insurance industry, the JV Company will consider expanding its operation to other parts of the PRC, in particular, the rural areas and the central and western regions of the PRC, which are considered to be markets with significant growth potential.

It is the strategy of the JV Company to increase its market share in the insurance industry by developing more new products which are in greater demand, such as mortgage life insurance and life-long medical insurance. Apart from increasing its product portfolio, the JV Company will make use of the internet sales platform as its major sales channel for the insurance products.

The JV Company will earn revenues primarily from premium income from the sales of life, annuities, accident and health insurance products, which are developed by the JV Company itself, through its direct sales representatives, insurance agents and brokers. The JV Company also expects to receive investment income from investment of funds received by the JV Company (such as investment in the form of trading of securities, investment of real estate and other types of investments permissible under the relevant insurance laws and regulations in the PRC).

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE INVESTMENT AGREEMENT

The Company, through its subsidiaries, is principally engaged in the research, development, manufacture, marketing and sale of wireless fire alarm systems and related products, the development of travel and leisure business and investment holding.

In the PRC, “insurance density” is measured by total insurance premium per capita and “insurance depth” is measured by the total insurance premium as a percentage of gross domestic products, which are the two key indicators for the growth of development and the potential of the insurance industry. According to the CIRC, for the period from 1999 to 2012, (i) the total insurance premiums in the PRC increased by a compound annual

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

growth rate (“ CAGR ”) of 20% from RMB139.3 billion to RMB1,549.0 billion, and (ii) the total life insurance premium in the PRC increased by a CAGR of 25% from RMB87.2 billion to RMB1,016.0 billion, which indicates that the growth of the life insurance industry is faster than the insurance industry as a whole. The Directors consider that the life insurance industry in the PRC is still in its early stages of development, and with the wealth brought along by the economic reforms and the high savings rate in the PRC, the life insurance industry in the PRC is growing and believe that the entering into of the Investment Agreement and the establishment of the JV Company represent an opportunity for the Group to diversify its business and enhance the Shareholders’ value.

The terms of the Investment Agreement were arrived at after arm’s length negotiation between the JV Parties, the Organising Team and the Management Team. The Board considers that the terms of the Investment Agreement are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable, and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATION

As the applicable percentage ratios under the GEM Listing Rules in respect of the establishment of the JV Company exceeds 25% but less than 100%, the entering into of the Investment Agreement constitutes a major transaction of the Company under the GEM Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the notification, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules.

SGM

The SGM will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, 10 March 2014 at Room 312, Block A, 3rd Floor, Beida Jade Bird Building, No. 207 Chengfu Road, Haidian District, Beijing 100871, the PRC, for the Shareholders to consider, and if appropriate, to approve among other things, the establishment of the JV Company.

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, as at the Latest Practicable Date, no Shareholders or any of their respective associates had any material interests in the establishment of the JV Company. As such, no Shareholders would be required under the GEM Listing Rules to abstain from voting at the SGM in respect of the resolution relating to the establishment of the JV Company.

A notice of convening the SGM, the form of proxy and the reply slip for the SGM have been issued by the Company on 23 January 2014. For holders of H Shares, you are required to return the form of proxy to the Company’s H share registrar in Hong Kong, Hong Kong Registrars Limited at Rooms 1806–07, 18th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong. For holders of promoters Shares, you are required to return the form of proxy to the principal place of business of the Company in Beijing at 3rd Floor, Beida Jade Bird Building, No. 207 Chengfu Road, Haidian District, Beijing 100871, the PRC.

Completion and delivery of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the meeting if you so wish.

At the close of business on 31 December 2013, the contingent liability of the Group is the contingency as disclosed in Note 38 to the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2012. During the year ended 31 December 2011, a subsidiary of the Company received an assessment demanding final tax for the year of assessment 2004/2005 from The Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department (“ IRD ”). The amount of this assessment was approximately HK$47.9 million (equivalent to approximately RMB37.6 million) in which approximately HK$47.7 million (equivalent to RMB37.5 million) relating to a claim for gain on disposal of long term investment recognised during the year ended 31 December 2004. On 25 February 2013, the IRD issued a notice to the subsidiary informing that the case has been forwarded to the Appeals Section of the IRD for further processing. Since pending reply from the IRD, the outcome of the tax claim cannot be readily ascertained up to the Latest Practicable Date. Should the assessment regarding claim for the gain be finally judged against the subsidiary, the Group will have a cash outflow of approximately HK$47.7 million (equivalent to approximately RMB37.5 million).

In addition, the Group had contingent liabilities in the sum of approximately RMB200 million in respect of guarantee for banking facilities granted to an associate of the Group.

Save as aforesaid, and apart from intra-group liabilities and normal trade payables in the ordinary course of business, as at the close of business on 31 December 2013, the Group did not have any other outstanding mortgages, charges, debentures or other loan capital, bank overdrafts or loans, other similar indebtedness, finance lease or hire purchase commitments, liabilities under acceptance or acceptance credits, guarantees or other material contingent liabilities.
