LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Annual Caps of the Revised Sales Agreements

Historical Transaction Value and Annual Cap

The aggregated historical transaction value of the transactions contemplated under the Sales Agreements according to the unaudited management accounts of the Group and the annual cap therefor for the year ended 31 December 2011 were approximately RMB356,496,000 and RMB378,000,000, respectively.

Proposed Annual Caps

As further explained below, the transactions under each of the Revised Sales Agreements should be aggregated pursuant to Rule 14A.25 of the Listing Rules. As such, the proposed annual caps for the transactions contemplated under such agreements in aggregate for each of the three years ending 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014 will be as follows:

Year ending Year ending Year ending
31 December 2012 31 December 2013 31 December 2014
(RMB) (RMB) (RMB)
527,100,000 617,600,000 710,700,000

The basis for determining the annual caps in each of the Revised Sales Agreements has been set out above.

Reasons for Entering into the Revised Sales Agreements

The Directors note that according to the unaudited management accounts of the Group, the actual transaction amount under the Sales Agreement I for the year ended 31 December 2011 exceeded annual cap of RMB77,000,000 as set out in such agreement by approximately RMB2,991,000, due to the substantial increase in the average selling price of the relevant products and the increase in the sales volume of high-end products, such as colored filament yarn, to Baikai Elastic Weaving as compared to 2010. In anticipation of the continuing increase in selling price and sales volume of the relevant products to Baikai Elastic Weaving in the coming two years, the Board expects that the transaction amounts under the Sales Agreement I for each of the two years ending 31 December 2012 and 2013 will also exceed their respective annual caps as set out in such agreement.

– 13 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors also note that according to the unaudited management account of the Group, the actual transaction amount under Sales Agreement II, Sales Agreement III and Sales Agreement IV for the year ended 31 December 2011 did not exceed the annual caps as set out in such agreements, however, in anticipation of the increase in selling price and sales volume of the relevant products from Billion Fujian to Baikai Wrap Knitting, and the increase in selling price of the relevant products to Baikai Textile and Baikai Zipper, in the coming two years, the Board expects that the transaction amounts for each of the two years ending 31 December 2012 and 2013 will exceed their respective annual caps as set out in such agreements.

Therefore, Billion Fujian entered into the Revised Sales Agreements to increase the annual caps for the transactions under each of the Sales Agreements for each of the two years ending 31 December 2012 and 2013. To avoid unnecessary administrative costs and inconvenience in the future, the parties also set out the respective annual caps for the transactions thereunder for the year ending 31 December 2014 in such agreements. The transactions to be conducted under the Revised Sales Agreements will increase the overall revenue of the Group; therefore, it is beneficial for the Group to enter into such agreements. The Directors (excluding independent non-executive Directors whose views are set out in the “Letter From The Independent Board Committee” on pages 23 to 24 of this circular) are of the opinion that the terms of the Revised Sales Agreements have been entered into on normal commercial terms, in the ordinary course of business of the Company and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole.

Proposed Annual Caps

The basis for determining the aggregated annual caps for the transactions under the Baikai Purchase and Processing Agreements has been set out above.

Reasons for Entering into the Baikai Purchase and Processing Agreements

The Directors note that according to the unaudited management accounts of the Group, the actual transaction amount under the Purchase and Processing Agreements I for the year ended 31 December 2011 was within the annual cap as set out in such agreements, however, the Board expects that the transaction amounts for each of the two years ending 31 December 2012 and 2013 will exceed their respective annual caps as set out in such agreements due to the anticipated increase in the price of, and the demand for the products and services by Billion Fujian, under such agreements as well as the expansion of product type and related processing services to be provided by Baikai Paper to Billion Fujian. Therefore, Billion Fujian entered into the Revised Purchase and Processing Agreements I to increase the annual caps for the transactions under Purchase and Processing Agreements I for each of the two years ending 31 December 2012 and 2013. To avoid unnecessary administrative costs and inconvenience in the future, the parties also set out the respective annual caps for the transactions thereunder for the year ending 31 December 2014 in such agreements.

LETTER FROM CMB INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL LIMITED

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

The principal factors and reasons we have taken into account in assessing the terms of the CCT and the transactions contemplated thereunder (including the annual caps) and the Revised 2011 Cap in giving our recommendation to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders are set out below:

1. Background of and reasons for entering into the CCT

The Group is principally engaged in the development and manufacturing of polyester filament yarns in the PRC, including drawn textured yarn, or DTY, and fully drawn yarn, or FDY, the two main polyester filament yarns, which have a variety of end applications in consumer products, including apparel, footwear and home furnishings. It also produces partially oriented yarn, or POY, which may be used as a raw material for our DTY or sold separately to its customers.

As disclosed in the Prospectus, the Group’s sales are primarily focused in south China and was the largest manufacturer in terms of both designed capacity of DTY and designed capacity of FDY and POY in south China in 2010. Its customers include many leading Chinese fabric and textile manufacturers who provide high-quality fabrics and textiles to domestic and international branded apparel companies, including several companies listed in Hong Kong and in the PRC. Revenues of the Group were approximately RMB2.1 billion, RMB3.0 billion, and RMB4.3 billion for each of the three years ended 31 December 2008, 2009 and 2010.

According to the Prospectus, the apparel and footwear industries are expected to experience rapid growth in south China and, in particular, Fujian and Guangdong provinces are expected to grow from representing 33.3% of the PRC’s entire production volume in 2009 to representing 45.0% of the PRC’s entire production volume by 2015. The demand for polyester filament yarns in south China is expected to continually increase and a supply shortage of polyester filament yarns will continue for the coming years in south China. As advised by the Directors, they are of the view that the outlook of the expanding polyester filament yarn industry and partially oriented yarn industry looks positive, and the prices of DTY, FDY, and POY are expected to increase. Thus, the Directors expect a significant growth in the business of Group in the future.

– 28 –

LETTER FROM CMB INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL LIMITED

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Sales Agreements and the Purchase Agreement and Processing Agreements I were signed on 31 March 2011. As disclosed in the Prospectus, the transactions contemplated under such agreements have been in place since 2008 and were in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group.

As the Board anticipates an increasing trend in the selling price and sales volume of the relevant products to Baikai Elastic Weaving, Baikai Wrap Knitting, Baikai Textile and Baikai Zipper in the coming two years and expects the transaction amounts under the Sales Agreements for each of the two years ending 31 December 2012 and 2013 will exceed the respective annual caps set out in such agreements, Billion Fujian therefore entered into the Revised Sales Agreements with Baikai Elastic Weaving, Baikai Wrap Knitting, Baikai Textile and Baikai Zipper respectively to increase the annual caps for the transactions thereunder for each of the two years ending 31 December 2012 and 2013. In order to avoid unnecessary administrative costs and inconvenience in the future, the parties also set out the annual caps for the transactions thereunder for the year ending 31 December 2014 in the Revised Sales Agreements.

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Board also anticipates an increase in the price of, and the demand for the products and services by Billion Fujian from Baikai Paper, under the Purchase and Processing Agreements I in the future, as well as an expansion of product type and related services to be provided by Baikai Paper to Billion Fujian, which may exceed the respective annual caps set out in such agreements. Therefore, Billion Fujian entered into the Revised Purchase and Processing Agreements I with Baikai Paper to increase the annual caps for the transactions thereunder for each of the two years ending 31 December 2012 and 2013. In order to avoid unnecessary administrative costs and inconvenience in the future, the parties also set out the annual caps for the transactions thereunder for the year ending 31 December 2014 in the Revised Purchase and Processing Agreements I.

Due to the anticipated demand for paper boxes and rolls and related processing services after the commercial production of Billion High-tech Material, an indirect whollyowned subsidiary of the Company, commences in May 2012, Billion High-tech Material entered into the Purchase and Processing Agreements II with Baikai Paper on 10 February 2012, pursuant to which Baikai Paper agreed to provide paper boxes and rolls, as well as related processing services to Billion High-tech Material. As stated in the Letter from the Board, after taking into consideration the high quality and suitability of the products and services provided by Baikai Paper, and the close proximity between production base of Baikai paper and the Group, which allows timely delivery and minimizes delivery costs, the Board believes it is in the interest of the Group to enter into the Baikai Purchase and Processing Agreements with Baikai Paper.

– 29 –

LETTER FROM CMB INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL LIMITED

The Directors considers that the supply of products to Baikai Elastic Weaving, Baikai Wrap Knitting, Baikai Textile and Baikai Zipper, and the purchase of products and related processing services from Baikai Paper are in consistence with the business objectives of the Group, and the Group would continue the existing transactions between Billion Fujian and Baikai Elastic Weaving, Baikai Wrap Knitting, Baikai Textile, Baikai Zipper and Baikai Paper and engage in the new continuing connected transactions between Billion High-tech Material and Baikai Paper. As noted in the Letter from the Board, the Directors consider that the CCT have been entered into on an arm’s length basis in the ordinary and usual course of business and on normal commercial terms which are no less favourable than the terms available from independent customers and suppliers, and the terms of the CCT are fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Having considered the facts that (i) the transactions contemplated under the Sales Agreements and the Purchase and Processing Agreements I, which were signed on 31 March 2011, have been in place since 2008; (ii) the transactions thereunder are within the ordinary and usual course of the Group’s business; and (iii) the positive outlook of apparel and footwear industries in south China, which would directly benefit the polyester filament yarns and partially oriented yarn industry, we consider that it is commercially justifiable for the Group to continue the existing continuing connected transactions under the Sales Agreements and the Purchase and Processing Agreements I, and engage in new transactions under the Purchase and Processing Agreements II.

LETTER FROM CMB INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL LIMITED

According to the unaudited management accounts of the Group, the actual transaction amount under Sales Agreement I for the year ended 31 December 2011 exceeded the annual cap of RMB77,000,000 by approximately RMB2,991,000, and the actual transaction amounts under the other Sales Agreements and Purchase and Processing Agreements I were close to the respective original annual caps for the year ended 31 December 2011. The Directors consider that existing annual caps under the Sales Agreements and Purchase and Processing Agreements I for each of the two years ending 31 December 2012 and 2013 may not be sufficient for the Group in the future, therefore, they propose to revise such annual caps. To avoid unnecessary administrative costs and inconvenience in the future, the Directors also propose to set out the annual caps for the year ending 31 December 2014 in the CCT. The table below sets out the annual caps for the transactions under the CCT for each of the three years ending 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014:

LETTER FROM CMB INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL LIMITED

Based on the discussion with the management of the Company, we understand that the annual caps are estimated based on:

  • (i) The actual transaction amounts for the year ended 31 December 2011;

  • (ii) The Directors’ view that the outlook of the expanding polyester filament yarn industry and partially oriented yarn industry is positive and the prices of DTY, FDY and POY are expected to increase. Thus, the Directors expect a significant growth in the sales for the three years ending 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014;

  • (iii) The expansion plan of the production capacity of Billion Fujian and Billion High-tech Material, the anticipated increase in the production capacities of Baikai Elastic Weaving, Baikai Wrap Knitting, Baikai Textile and Baikai Zipper and the demands for their products, as well as the anticipated increase in demands for the relevant products and related processing services from Baikai Paper; and

  • (iv) The historical growth trend of the Group’s revenue.

Our analysis

According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China(中華人民共和國 國家統計局), the national retail amount on apparel and textile has increased from approximately RMB462.2 billion in 2009 to approximately RMB795.5 billion in 2011, which represents a compound annual growth rate of approximately 31.2%. Furthermore, the 化纖工業「十二五」發展規劃 (the twelfth five-year plan of chemical fiber industry of the PRC), issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the PRC on 19 January 2012, stated that the apparel market will continue to expand as a result of the economic growth of the country and the growing affluence. The demand for chemical fiber, being one of the most important raw materials to the apparel industry, will continue to increase with the expanding apparel market.

In the light of the rapid expansion of the national retail amount on apparel and textile, the Directors consider there would be a strong demand for the polyester filament yarn, which is an important raw material for the apparel and textile products, and the demand would drive up the prices of the polyester filament yarn.

According to the China Plastic Packaging Website(中國塑料包裝網), the global sales of the plastic packaging products will reach approximately 1.8 million tonnes in 2011 and approximately 2.3 million tonnes in 2016, representing a compound annual growth rate of approximately 4.1%. The demand of BOPET, a product which is environmental friendly with strong insulation properties, is expected to soar in the coming years.

As stated in the “Background of and reasons for entering into the CCT”, the Group’s priority is to enhance the sales of its products in order to benefit from the fast-expanding apparel and footwear industries in the PRC. The following table summarizes the breakdown of turnover of the Group for the three years ended 31 December 2008, 2009 and 2010.

The above figures illustrate that the Group’s revenue increased by approximately 40.2%, from approximately RMB2,113.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2008 to approximately RMB2,963.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2009, and further increased by approximately 45.4%, to approximately RMB4,309.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2010. We note that the revenue of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2010 was more than twice of the revenue for the year ended 31 December 2008.

As a result of the rising sales of the Group’s products, the demand for paper boxes, rolls and polyfoams boards and related processing services by Baikai Paper expanded during the same period. The purchase from Baikai Paper under the Purchase and Processing Agreements I amounted to approximately RMB28,389,000, RMB30,975,000 and RMB54,951,000 for each of the three years ended 31 December 2008, 2009 and 2010 according to the Prospectus, and the actual purchase from Baikai Paper under such agreement for the year ended 31 December 2011 increased to RMB93,169,576 according to the unaudited management accounts of the Group.

LETTER FROM CMB INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL LIMITED

As disclosed in the Prospectus, the Group’s annual production capacities of FDY, POY and DTY amounted to approximately 400,000 tonnes, 661,000 tonnes, and 710,000 tonnes respectively for each of the year ended 31 December 2008, 2009 and 2010, and the estimated annual production capacities for FDY, POY and DTY will amount to approximately 1,278,000 tonnes for the year ending 31 December 2013, representing a compound annual growth rate of approximately 15.8% as compared with that of in 2010. In addition, upon the commencement of the commercial production of Billion High-tech Material in May 2012, the Board expects to have an annual production capacity for BOPET of approximately 36,500 tonnes for each of the two years ending 31 December 2012 and 2013, and annual capacity for polyester melt of approximately 255,000 tonnes for the year ending 31 December 2014, which will be used directly in (i) the production of BOPET, which has an annual production capacity of approximately 182,500 tonnes, and (ii) the production of BOPET chips, which has an annual production capacity of approximately 72,500 tonnes.

Due to the expansion plan of the production lines as set out above, the Group would demand and purchase more paper boxes and rolls, and related processing services, and as noted from the Letter from the Board, the paper boxes, rolls and polyfoam boards produced or processed by Baikai Paper are of high quality, while its production base is in close proximity to the Group, which allows timely delivery and minimizes delivery costs. Therefore, purchases under the Baikai Purchase and Processing Agreements are expected to expand.

Based on (i) the historical growth trend in the sales of the Group from 2008 to 2010; (ii) the bases for estimating the annual caps as discussed above; (iii) the actual utilization of the annual caps for the year ended 31 December 2011; (iv) the positive outlook of the apparel and textile industry; (v) the expected rising demand and price trend of the polyester filament yarn products; (vi) the positive outlook of the BOPET industry, and (vii) the Group’s future expansion plan, we concur with the Directors’ view that the basis for determining the annual caps of the CCT is fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Shareholders are concerned. However, as the annual caps relate to future events and are based on assumptions that may or may not remain valid for the entire period up to 31 December 2014, we express no opinion as to how closely the actual transaction amount of the CCT corresponds with the annual caps.

LETTER FROM CMB INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL LIMITED

Taking into account of the conditions attached to the CCT, in particular (i) the restrictions by way of setting the annual caps; and (ii) the compliance with all other requirements under the Listing Rules (which include the annual review and/or confirmation by the independent non-executive Directors and auditors of the Company on the actual execution of the CCT pursuant to the Rule 14A.37 and 14A.38 of the Listing Rules), we consider that the Company has taken appropriate measures to govern the Company in carrying out the CCT, thereby safeguarding the interests of the Shareholders thereunder. In particular, we note that the CCT are, by virtue of the requirements of Rule 14A.37 of the Listing Rules, conditional upon being carried out by the Company in the ordinary and usual course of the Company and its business, on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole.

The Revised 2011 Cap

As stated in the Letter from the Board, immediately after discovery of the excess of the annual cap for the transactions under the Sales Agreement I for the year ended 31 December 2011, the Board has taken steps to review all the other continuing connected transactions of the Group. The Board confirms that all of the continuing connected transactions, other than those under the Sales Agreement I, have been in full compliance with the conditions of the waiver granted by the Stock Exchange as disclosed in the Prospectus. To ensure that none of the continuing connected transactions will exceed their respective annual caps in the future, the Board has also requested the relevant purchase and sales departments of the Group to monitor the amount of all the connected transactions of the Group on a monthly basis and to report the same to the chief executive officer of the Company.

Based on our discussion with the Company, we understand that the annual cap of RMB77,000,000 set out in the Sales Agreement I was estimated based on the sales to Baikai Elastic Weaving for the year ended 31 December 2010. As explained by the Directors, the demand for the relevant products, especially colored filament yarn, increased sharply in 2011 as compared to that of in 2010, which in turn drove up the average selling price and sales volume. The actual transaction amount under the Sales Agreement I for the year ended 31 December 2011 therefore exceeded the original annual cap by RMB2,991,000, which represented approximately 3.9% of the original annual cap.

– 39 –

LETTER FROM CMB INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL LIMITED

We have, on a sample basis, selected and reviewed the sales contracts and invoices of (i) products provided by Billion Fujian to Baikai Elastic Weaving, under the Sales Agreements I and (ii) similar products provided by Billion Fujian to other independent third parties for the year ended 31 December 2011 and understand that the actual transactions for the year ended 31 December 2011 under the Sales Agreement I were conducted in accordance with the pricing policies therein.

Based on above and the steps taken by the Company to improve its internal control to avoid reoccurrence of similar incidents, we concur with the Directors’ view that it is justifiable to approve the Revised 2011 Cap.

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the above factors, we consider that the CCT are on normal commercial terms, in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, and the CCT and the Revised 2011 Cap are in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and are fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Shareholders are concerned. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions to approve the CCT and the Revised 2011 Cap at the EGM.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of

CMB International Capital Limited Anthony Ng
