LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Information of Beijing Aiyuhua Hospital

Beijing Aiyuhua Hospital is currently under construction by Guotong Xintai and located in 北京經濟 技術開發區 (Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area*), Beijing, the PRC. Beijing Aiyuhua Hospital would provide comprehensive medical and health management services including but not limited to prenatal care, obstetrics, pediatrics, and children health management services upon full operation.

Reasons for the entering into of the formal agreement

The principal activities of the Group consist of the provision of information technologies and services supply including system integration, software development, IT planning and consultancy, IT operation and maintenance, etc.

The Company has a well-established technical division, which include project managers, project development managers, software development managers, business analysts, system analysts, technicians, maintenance staff, etc.. In 2012, the Company has completed, among others, the development of the business information management system of State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of People’s Government of Beijing Municipality and the development of the integrated intelligent city management platform of Yanqing District, Beijing, the PRC.

The Directors consider that the Company has sufficient resources and experience to undertake the Construction Project.

Guotong Xintai is a company established in the PRC with limited liability and is principally engaged in investment management.

The Directors consider that the Construction Project is conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and would generate revenue for the Group. In addition, the Directors expect that the Company would further integrate its ability in the construction, operation and maintenance of hospital information technology system and be familiar with the business and operation of hospital through the Construction Project. Hence, the Construction Project will be a signature project for the Company and lay a solid foundation for the Company to enter into the field of high-end hospital information technology system construction in the future.

The Directors are of the view that the terms of the Formal Agreement are fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms, and the entering into of the Formal Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Save and except for Mr. Xu Zhe (Chairman), Ms. Zhang Kaihua and Mr. Lu Lei, all being non-executive Directors and hold offices at BSAM, none of the Directors had any material interest in the Formal Agreement. Accordingly, Mr. Xu Zhe, Ms. Zhang Kaihua and Mr. Lu Lei had abstained from voting on the Board resolutions on approving the participation in and bidding for the tender for the Construction Project and the Formal Agreement.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Listing Rules implication

As one of the relevant percentage ratios calculated pursuant to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules exceeds 5% but is less than 25%, the transaction contemplated under the Formal Agreement constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Guotong Xintai is beneficially owned as to 80.80% by BSAM, the controlling shareholder of the Company which is interested in approximately 63.31% of the issued share capital of the Company. Therefore, Guotong Xintai is a connected person of the Company and the transaction contemplated under the Formal Agreement constitutes a connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and subject to the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements. BSAM and its associates will be required to abstain from voting at the EGM in respect of the Formal Agreement. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief and having made all reasonable enquiries, save as and except for BSAM, none of the Shareholders had any material interest in the Formal Agreement.

The Independent Board Committee comprising all of the independent non-executive Directors has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders in relation to the Formal Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereunder. Guangdong Securities has been appointed as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Formal Agreement.

PROPOSED RESIGNATION AND ELECTION OF NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

The Company has received a letter from Ms. Lu Xiaobing, in which, Ms. Lu Xiaobing has tendered her resignation as a non-executive Director due to health reason, with effect from the approval by the Shareholders at the EGM. Ms. Lu Xiaobing confirmed that she had no disagreement with the Board and there is no other matter with respect to her resignation which needs to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders.

In light of the aforesaid major terms of the Formal Agreement, we consider that the terms of the Formal Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.
