purchase, the Sale Shares (representing the entire equity interest of the Target Company) and the Sale Debt at a total cash consideration for both the Sale Shares and Sale Debt at RMB4,000.
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, (i) further details in relation to the SPA and the transactions contemplated thereunder; (ii) valuation report on the property interest of the Target Company; and (iii) other information as required by the Listing Rules, together with the notice convening the EGM and the proxy form in respect of the EGM.
THE SPA
The principal terms of the SPA are summarised below:
Date
2 February 2016
Parties
-
(1) The Vendor
-
(2) The Purchaser
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, the Purchaser is independent of the Company and the connected persons (as defined under the Listing Rules) of the Company.
Assets to be disposed of
The Vendor has conditionally agreed to sell, and the Purchaser has conditionally agreed to purchase, the Sale Shares (representing the entire equity interest of the Target Company) and the Sale Debt, subject to the terms and conditions of the SPA.
The Sale Debt represents the funding support made by the Vendor and its subsidiaries to the Target Company since 2011 until the suspension of its operations in September 2015 to support its business operations. The funding support was mainly used for the procurement of inventories and other operational expenses of the Target Company.
Consideration
The Consideration for the Sale Shares and the Sale Debt in aggregate is RMB4,000 which represents the fair market value of the Sale Shares and the Sale Debt in aggregate.
– 5 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Consideration shall be payable by the Purchaser to the Vendor in cash as follows:
-
The Purchaser shall pay 20% of the Consideration, being RMB800, to the Vendor as deposit within 5 days of the signing of the SPA. Such amount had been paid by the Purchaser to the Vendor on 5 February 2016 pursuant to the terms and conditions of the SPA. Upon Completion, such deposit will be applied as part of the payment of the Consideration.
-
The Purchaser shall pay 75% of the Consideration, being RMB3,000, to the Vendor within 5 days of completion of the checking and acceptance of the assets held by the Target Company by the Purchaser and the assignment of the Sale Debt to the Purchaser.
-
The Purchaser shall pay the remaining 5% of the Consideration, being RMB200, to the Vendor within 5 days of completion of the registration of the transfer of the Sale Shares with the Administration for Industry and Commerce in the PRC.
The Consideration has been determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Vendor and the Purchaser with reference to (i) the reasons for the Disposal as discussed in the section headed “Reasons for and benefits of the Disposal” below; (ii) the unaudited consolidated net liabilities of approximately RMB355,681,000 of the Target Company based on the unaudited management accounts of the Target Company as at 30 September 2015; (iii) the preliminary valuation of the property held by the Target Company of RMB139,830,000 (the value of which has been taken into account and fully reflected in the aforementioned unaudited consolidated net liabilities of approximately RMB355,681,000 of the Target Company) as determined by an independent valuer using depreciated replacement cost approach (please refer to Appendix II to this circular for further details including the valuation approach and the assumptions relied upon); and (iv) the preliminary valuation of the machineries and equipment held by the Target Company of RMB13,270,000 (the value of which has been taken into account and fully reflected in the aforementioned unaudited consolidated net liabilities of approximately RMB355,681,000 of the Target Company) as determined by an independent valuer using cost approach (please refer to Appendix III to this circular for further details including the valuation approach and the assumptions relied upon).
The Directors consider that the Consideration is fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms.
Conditions precedent
Completion of the SPA is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:
- (a) the Shareholders at the EGM having approved the SPA and the transactions contemplated thereunder; and
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
- (b) the Vendor and its related parties having obtained all necessary consents, approvals, authorizations and waivers in respect of the entry into the SPA and performance of the obligations under the SPA (including without limitation prior notification to or written consent or approval by the relevant creditors required to be given or obtained by the Company).
As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the above conditions precedent has been satisfied.
If the above conditions precedent are not satisfied on or before 30 June 2016 or such other date as may be agreed between the Vendor and the Purchaser, the SPA shall lapse and determine without prejudice to all rights and remedies which the Vendor and the Purchaser may have under the SPA or by law. If the SPA is terminated due to the non-fulfillment of the above conditions precedent, neither the Vendor nor the Purchaser shall have any liabilities under the SPA.
Completion
Subject to satisfaction of the above conditions precedent, Completion will take place pursuant to the terms of the SPA.
Pursuant to the terms of the SPA, the Purchaser would acquire the Target Company with the net value of its assets and liabilities as at 30 September 2015 based on the unaudited consolidated accounts of the Target Company as at 30 September 2015 on Completion and any subsequent profit or loss of the Target Company arising between 1 October 2015 and Completion shall be accrued to or borne by the Purchaser.
INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

The Group is an independent axle component provider for the PRC’s medium duty truck (“ MDT ”) and heavy duty truck (“ HDT ”) aftermarket, and also an independent axle assembly provider for the PRC’s MDT and HDT original equipment manufacturers (“ OEM ”) market. The Group is engaged in the manufacture and sales of axle assemblies and axle components in the PRC mainly through the Target Company and Longyan, another wholly-owned subsidiary of the Vendor.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL
Reference is made to the Announcement.
As set out in the Announcement, the Board regularly reviews the business and operational performance of the Group and implements strategic decisions that are considered beneficial to the Group.
In respect of the axle assembles business of the Target Company, due to the continued deterioration of the business environment of the heavy duty truck market in the PRC, the demand for axle assembles has declined significantly. In respect of the sales of train and railway components of the Target Company to the customers in the Commonwealth of Independent States (which was the only market of the Target Company’s train and railway components business), due to the continued unstable political environment in the Commonwealth of Independent States, there is also great uncertainty relating to the sales of train and railway components.
For the reasons set out above, the Board decided to temporarily suspend the business operations of the Target Company in September 2015 pending for a final decision on ceasing the operations of the Target Company or choosing other options that are in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders. Since then, the Vendor has been identifying and in touch with three potential buyers of the Target Company (including the Purchaser) referred to the Vendor through independent business contacts. After initial due diligence, only the Purchaser remained interested in the business and the acquisition of the Target Company. The Vendor reached an agreement with the Purchaser and the parties entered into the SPA on 2 February 2016.
Having considered that (i) there is no clear potential for material improvement on the performance of the Target Company under the challenging environment; (ii) limited alternatives and business opportunities to be carried out by the existing facilities of the Target Company and (iii) the unlikelihood of recovering the Sale Debt by the Group from the Target Company upon cessation of its operations, the Directors believe that the Disposal represents a good opportunity for the Group to improve its overall returns and provide a greater value to the Shareholders by focusing its resources on the axle business carried out by Longyan and its fast growing electronic commerce business and other general trading business and cease to continue its axle assembles and train and railway components businesses carried out by the Target Company.
The Directors have continued to review the axle business carried out by Longyan with an open mind and strive to improve the business operations and financial position of Longyan which have also been significantly affected by the declining demand for axle assembles and the challenging business environment in general. Longyan recorded a significant reduction in revenue in 2015 as compared to the revenue recorded in 2014. The Company will continue to explore business opportunities to maximize the revenue generated from the axle business of Longyan and will choose options that are in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders. Such options may include sale of machineries and equipment held by Longyan that are in excess capacity in order to generate cash inflow. Disposal of Longyan may also be one of such options to be considered by the Company if
– 8 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
this is in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders. However, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company intended to maintain the axle business of Longyan and did not have any specific plan to dispose of Longyan and was not in negotiation with any party to dispose of Longyan. The Company will comply with the relevant applicable Listing Rules requirements including but not limited to Rule 14.92 of the Listing Rules as and when appropriate.
Based on the unaudited consolidated accounts of the Target Company as at 30 September 2015, the unaudited consolidated net liabilities of the Target Company was approximately RMB355,681,000 after adjusting for and reflecting the preliminary valuations of property as well as plant and machinery assets held by the Target Company conducted by independent valuer. The Consideration of RMB4,000 largely represents the fair market value of the Sale Shares and the Sale Debt in aggregate. Having considered that the Group could dispose of the liabilities associated with the Target Company and save future cash outflow in maintaining the Target Company’s loss-making operations, the Directors consider that the Consideration is reasonable and the Disposal is in line with the Group’s overall business strategy and is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the SPA are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and the SPA and the transactions contemplated thereunder are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
USE OF PROCEEDS
After deducting the costs and expenses in connection with the Disposal, it is estimated that there will be no net proceeds from the Disposal.
FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL
Set out below is a summary of the consolidated income statement of the Target Company extracted from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Target Company for the financial years ended 31 December 2013 and 2014 based on PRC GAAP, and the unaudited consolidated income statement of the Target Company for the nine months ended 30 September 2015 based on PRC GAAP, after taking into account the prior year adjustments with reference to the announcement of the Company dated 29 February 2016:
| For the financial | For the financial | For the nine | |
|---|---|---|---|
| year ended | year ended | months ended | |
| 31 December | 31 December | 30 September | |
| 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | |
| RMB’000 | RMB’000 | RMB’000 | |
| Turnover | 250,201 | 257,230 | 86,529 |
| Loss before taxation | (27,331) | (272,593) | (350,347) |
| Loss after taxation | (29,193) | (274,874) | (350,347) |
– 9 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The consolidated total assets and the consolidated total liabilities of the Target Company as extracted from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Target Company based on PRC GAAP were approximately RMB826,540,000 and RMB554,727,000 as at 31 December 2013 respectively and RMB579,168,000 and RMB584,502,000 as at 31 December 2014 respectively, after taking into account the prior year adjustments with reference to the announcement of the Company dated 29 February 2016. The unaudited consolidated total assets and unaudited consolidated total liabilities of the Target Company were approximately RMB196,678,000 and RMB552,359,000 as at 30 September 2015 respectively based on PRC GAAP.
The Group does not expect to recognise any material accounting gain or loss as a result of the Disposal, because the Consideration of RMB4,000 represents the difference between the unaudited consolidated net liabilities position of the Target Company as at 30 September 2015 of approximately RMB355,681,000 and the Sale Debt of RMB355,685,000 based on the unaudited consolidated accounts of the Target Company. The Consideration of RMB4,000 represents no excess over or deficit under the difference between the Sale Debt and the unaudited consolidated net liabilities of approximately RMB355,681,000 of the Target Company based on the unaudited consolidated accounts of the Target Company as at 30 September 2015.
Shareholders should note that the above figures are for illustrative purpose only. The actual accounting gain or loss in connection with the Disposal may be different from the above and will be determined based on the net liabilities of the Target Company as at the date of Completion.
Upon Completion, the Company will cease to have any interest in the Target Company and its subsidiary, and the Target Company and its subsidiary will cease to be subsidiaries of the Company. Accordingly, the profits and losses and the assets and liabilities of the Target Company and its subsidiary will no longer be consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Accordingly, upon Completion, the total assets and liabilities of the Group will be reduced by the assets and liabilities attributable to the Target Company and its subsidiary.
Reconciliation of valuation figure
To illustrate the financial impact of the valuation on the Target Company’s balance sheet, reconciliation is based on the Target Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. The reconciliation to the Target Company’s balance sheet is set out as follows:
RMB
| Land use rights of 100% of real property of the Target Company Carrying balance as at 31 December 2014 Valuation difference Revaluation balance as at 31 December 2015 |
222,310,726 82,480,726 |
|---|---|
| 139,830,000 |

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS
The Group will continue to carry on the axle business through Longyan after the Disposal but expects such business to continue to be challenging in the current year due to the continued deterioration of the business environment of the axle market.
The Group acquired the electronic commerce (CCIGMALL) business in March 2015. The Group expects that it will focus more resources on this business segment and other general trading business in the foreseeable future. In this respect, the Group has commenced practical businesses with hundreds of brand suppliers in overseas countries, which cover thousands of brand producers. The Group has also established strategic cooperative relationships with famous brand groups. For example, the Company had signed various legally binding strategic cooperative agreements and major business contracts with UnionPay Co., Ltd, Bank of China Limited, China Telecom Tianyi e-commerce Co., Ltd, eBay International AG, Class Editori S.p.A, Class China e-Commerce S.r.l. and Class Editori S.p.A. Further details of such agreements are set out in the announcement of the Company dated 14 April 2015. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had also signed over 40 legally binding supply of goods agreements with various suppliers in relation to the supply of their products to the CCIGMALL platform.
At present, both the business-to-business (B2B) and the business-to-customer (B2C) electronic commerce businesses have already been launched. The business model is to set up a direct path between pre-identified suppliers, distributors and domestic retailers or customers in the PRC. In respect of the business-to-business (B2B) business, as at 31 December 2015, over 100,000 users had installed the CCIGMALL application. In respect of the business-to-customer (B2C) business, as at 31 December 2015, there were over 11,000 individual users. As at 31 December 2015, 270 vendors had supplied products to the CCIGMALL platform and the total number of stock keeping units was over 2,000.
As set out in the announcement of the Company dated 11 June 2015 and the circular issued by the Company dated 3 July 2015, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Century Network Holding Limited, a subsidiary of the Company, on 11 June 2015 to advance an unsecured loan of an aggregate amount of not more than US$22 million (the “ Loan ”) to Century Network Holding Limited for, among other things, developing the electronic commerce business. As at 31 December 2015, approximately RMB59 million out of the US$22 million, representing approximately 43% of the Loan, had been invested in the electronic commerce business. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the electronic commerce business was yet to break even. However, looking ahead, the Group will continue to strengthen its supplier network and strategic cooperative relationships and will commit time and resources into developing its business-to-business (B2B) and the business-to-customer (B2C) electronic commerce businesses which are experiencing rapid growth in the PRC.
Overall, to increase the Group’s competitiveness within the market in the coming year, it will further enhance cost control, product development and marketing network and will expand to overseas markets when opportunities arise. The Group will also from time to time diligently review the operating performance, growth potential and funding requirements for
– 11 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
each of its business segments and prioritize the allocation of its resources in order to enhance the financial position of the Group and to optimise the potential returns on Shareholders’ investment.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

30 March 2016
Fortunet e-Commerce Group Limited Units 808-814, Sun Hung Kai Centre, 30 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong
Dear Sir/Madam,
Re: An industrial complex situated at the junction of Dongchang Road and Xinsong Road, Kaifeng City, Henan Province, the People’s Republic of China
In accordance with your instruction for us to value the property held by Fortunet e-Commerce Group Limited (the “ Company ”) and/or its subsidiaries (together with the Company referred to as the “ Group ”) in the People’s Republic of China (the “ PRC ”), we confirm that we have carried out inspections, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market value of the property as at 31 December 2015 (the “ Date of Valuation ”) for the purpose of incorporation in the circular of the Company dated 30 March 2016.
1. BASIS OF VALUATION
Our valuation of the property is our opinion of the market value of the concerned property of the Group which we would define as intended to mean “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.
Market value is understood as the value of an asset or liability estimated without regard to costs of sale or purchase (or transaction) and without offset for any associated taxes or potential taxes.

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT
APPENDIX II
2. VALUATION METHODOLOGIES
Valuation methodologies commonly adopted in the market for property similar to the property are as follows:
2.1 The Direct Comparison Approach
Direct comparison approach is considered as the most appropriate method of valuation when comparable information is adequate. Comparable properties of similar nature, character and location are analyzed. Adjustments will be applied to the said comparable properties to reflect items such as location, size, building age, floor level, view and layout, and then carefully weighed against all the respective advantages and disadvantages of each property in order to arrive at a fair comparison of the market value of the property.
The property is specifically used as an axle manufacturing and axle assembly facility. It was built with specific requirements such as building materials, capacities on beam loading, headroom and electricity ancillary facility for which the buildings and structures of the property has been constructed. The property is unlikely be used for other ordinary manufacturing activities. According to our market research, such specific type of facility is not readily available in the market. Furthermore, the industrial park in which the property was located was tailor-made on electricity supply on the heavy industry to develop the axle manufacturing business there. Therefore there are no readily identifiable market comparables. As such, the direct comparison approach is not appropriate in the circumstances.
2.2 The Income Approach
Income approach measures the value of the property by the present value of its future economic benefits. By taking into account the net rental income of the property derived from the existing lease and/or achievable in the existing market with due allowance for the reversionary income potential of the leases, which has been then capitalised to determine the market value at an appropriate capitalisation rate.
The property is not under any existing lease and as mentioned above, axle manufacturing and axle assembly facility is not readily available in the market, therefore, the net rental income for such type of property achievable in the existing market is not known. Accordingly, the income approach is not appropriate in the circumstances.
2.3 The Depreciated Replacement Cost Approach (“DRC”)
The DRC is derived from a market value of the bare land based on direct comparison approach, plus the current cost of replacing the structures existing on the bare land less deductions for physical deterioration and all relevant forms of obsolescence and optimization (if applicable).
– II-2 –
PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT
APPENDIX II
In practice, DRC approach may be used as a substitute for ascertaining the market value of specialized purpose-built property, due to the lack of market comparables available. Due to the specialized purpose-built nature of the property with specific requirements designed for axle manufacturing and axle assembly facility and the lack of market comparables available as mentioned above, the DRC approach may be used as a substitute for valuing the buildings and structures of the property.
Physical deterioration would be an adjustment on physical condition for the asset based on its depreciation of used years. We have also considered the obsolescence and optimization, if applicable.
Our valuation does not necessarily represent the amount that might be realized from the disposition of the property and the DRC is subject to adequate profitability of the concerned business, therefore, we have considered the capability with respect to the operation of the business.
2.4 Conclusion
For the reasons set out above, we are of the view that neither the direct comparison approach nor the income approach is appropriate in the circumstances and the buildings and structures of the property have been valued on the basis of their DRC.
3. TITLE INVESTIGATION
For the property in the PRC, we have been provided with copies of extracts of title documents relating to the property in the PRC. However, we have not searched the original documents to ascertain the existence of any amendments which do not appear on the copies handed to us. We have relied to a very considerable extent on information given by the Group and the Group’s PRC legal advisor, Jian Da Law Firm regarding the titles of the property in the PRC. All documents have been used for reference only.
We have relied on the advice given by the Group and its PRC legal advisor that the Group has valid and enforceable title to the property with relevant title certificates which is freely transferable, and has free and uninterrupted right to use the same, for the whole of the unexpired term granted subject to the payment of annual government rent/land use fees and all requisite land premium/purchase consideration payable have been fully settled.
4. VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS
Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the owner sells the property in the market in its existing state without the benefit of deferred term contracts, leasebacks, joint ventures, management agreements or any similar arrangements which would serve to affect the value of such property.
– II-3 –
PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT
APPENDIX II
In addition, no account has been taken of any option or right of pre-emption concerning or affecting the sale of the property and no allowance has been made for the property to be sold in one lot or to a single purchaser.
5. SOURCE OF INFORMATION
In the course of our valuation, we have relied to a very considerable extent on the information provided by the Group and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenure, identification of property, particulars of occupation, site/floor areas, ages of buildings and all other relevant matters which can affect the value of the property. All documents have been used for reference only.
We have no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us. We have also been advised that no material facts have been omitted from the information supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view, and have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld.
6. VALUATION CONSIDERATION
We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the interior of certain property. No structural survey has been made in respect of the property. However, in the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects. We are not, however, able to report that the property is free from rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No tests were carried out on any of the building services.
We have not carried out on-site measurement to verify the site/floor areas of the property under consideration but we have assumed that the site/floor areas shown on the documents handed to us are correct. Except as otherwise stated, all dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificate are based on information contained in the documents provided to us by the Group and are therefore approximations.
No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the property nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the property is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect its value.
Our valuation are prepared in compliance with the requirements set out in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, and in accordance with the HKIS Valuation Standards (2012 Edition) published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.

30 March 2016
Fortunet e-Commerce Group Limited Units 808-814, Sun Hung Kai Centre, 30 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong
Dear Sir/Madam,
- Re: Valuation of the Assets held by Fortunet e-Commerce Group Limited, its Subsidiaries and/or Associate Companies in Kaifeng City, Henan Province, the People’s Republic of China
In accordance with your recent instructions for us to value the machineries and equipment including parts, stocks and office equipment (the “ Assets ”) held by Fortunet e-Commerce Group Limited (the “ Company ”), its subsidiaries and/or associate companies (hereinafter together referred to as the “ Group ”) located in the People’s Republic of China (the “ PRC ”), we confirm that we have carried out inspection, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the valuation as at 31 December 2015 (the “ Date of Valuation ”) for the purpose of incorporation in the circular of the Company dated 30 March 2016.
1. BASIS OF VALUATION
Our valuation of the Assets is our opinion of the market value of the concerned Assets which we would define as intended to mean “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.
Our opinion of market value (in-use) is not intended to represent the amount that might be realized from piecemeal disposition of the Assets in the open market or from alternative use of the Assets.
– III-1 –
APPENDIX III MACHINERIES AND EQUIPMENT VALUATION REPORT
2. VALUATION METHODOLOGIES
Valuation methodologies commonly adopted in the market for assets similar to the Assets are as follows:
2.1 The Sales Comparison Approach
The sales comparison approach considers prices recently paid for similar assets, with adjustments made to the indicated market prices to reflect condition and utility of the appraised Assets relative to the market. Comparative assets for which there is established and used market may be appraised by this approach.
The Assets are specifically designed and used for axle manufacturing and axle assembly purposes. Each specialized manufacturer has own configuration to modify its equipment to accommodate the special products. The Assets cannot be used for other purposes. According to our market research, such specific type of assets is not readily available in the market. Therefore there are no comparative assets for which there is established and used market. As such, the sales comparison approach is not appropriate in the circumstances.
2.2 The Income Approach
The income approach is the present worth of the future economic benefits of ownership. This approach is generally applied to an aggregation of assets that consists of stable cash flow income.
There is absence of stable cash flow income generated from the Assets. Accordingly, the income approach is not appropriate in the circumstances.
2.3 The Cost Approach
The cost approach considers the cost to reproduce or replace in new condition the Assets appraised in accordance with current market prices for similar assets or by making reference to the purchase price of similar assets, with allowance for accrued depreciation as evidenced by observed condition or obsolescence present (if applicable), whether arising from physical, functional or economic cause. The cost approach generally furnishes the most reliable indication of value for assets with specific purpose and without known used market.
Physical depreciation is the loss in value due to physical deterioration resulting from wear and tear in operation and exposure to elements. Deterioration due to age and deterioration due to usage are the main factors that affect physical condition.
Due to the specialized purpose-built nature of the Assets with specific requirements designed for axle manufacturing and axle assembly facility and the lack of known used market as mentioned above, and on the basis that the Assets valued
– III-2 –
APPENDIX III MACHINERIES AND EQUIPMENT VALUATION REPORT
were idle and not currently in use, and that they would not be possible to realize full capability in their specified condition without extensive repairs and/or replacement of major parts. The cost approach would be appropriate for valuing the Assets.
We have considered linear depreciation method which is a method of calculating the depreciation of an asset, assuming the asset will lose an equal amount of value each year. The annual depreciation is calculated by subtracting the salvage value of the asset from purchase price, and then dividing this number by the estimated useful life of the asset.
2.4 Conclusion
For the reasons set out above, we consider it is more appropriate and in line with industry norm and market practice in the circumstances to adopt the cost approach.
In our valuation under the cost approach, the amount of the cost of the Assets was RMB116,930,000 and the allowance for accrued depreciation was RMB103,660,000 (based on the annual depreciation rate of approximately 10-25% and approximately 0-10% salvage value). The market value of the Assets as at the Date of Valuation was therefore RMB13,270,000, being the amount of the cost of the Assets minus the allowance for accrued depreciation.
3. LOCATION
The Assets held by the Group are situated in an industrial complex located at Baixixin District, Kaifeng City, Henan Province, the PRC.
Accessibilities of the localities are considered reasonable. Main roads and air network are linked to the subject localities. Taxis and private cars can be accessed to the subject developments.
4. THE ASSETS
The Assets valued are held by Kaifeng Changfeng Axle Co., Ltd.(開封暢豐車橋有限公 司)(“ Kaifeng Changfeng ”) as at the Date of Valuation, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group. The company was principally engaged in the manufacturing and sales of gears of motor vehicles in the PRC.
At the time of our inspection, the Assets were observed to be generally in poor condition and most of them were rust occurring due to the absence of proper maintenance works. We are of the opinion that most of the Assets may not be capable of operating the purpose for which they were designed and produced.
In valuing the Assets, we have relied on the advice given by the Group that the Group has valid and enforceable title to the Assets and the records of the Assets including the costs and acquisition dates.
– III-3 –
APPENDIX III
MACHINERIES AND EQUIPMENT VALUATION REPORT
The Assets mainly include machineries & equipment (such as travelling crane of 20t, 16t, 10t, 5t, 3t, 2t, CNC horizontal machining center (臥式加工心盤數控機床), horizontal three-headed milling machine(臥式雙頭三面銑床), coordinate boring machine(座標鏜床), 3.5 kv Stepdown statio with power supply system(3.5千伏降壓站及供電系統), smelting furnace (中頻爐爐體), pressing machine for rear axle hub bolts (輪轂螺栓後橋壓裝機), assembly conveyor line(裝配輸送線), coating heating device(覆膜加熱裝置), sand mixer for core body (制芯混砂機), refining furnace(精煉爐), EAF dust removal system(電爐除塵系統), catenary type shot blasting machine(懸鏈式拋丸機)and hydraulic forklift(液壓叉車)); parts & stocks (such as axle(半軸), 3-speed tandem axle(貫通軸), brakes(制動器), subtractive shell brake drum(差減殼制動鼓), shaft cross(十字軸), crown gear(盆角齒)and primary driven gear(主 從動圓柱齒)) and office equipment items (such as desktop computer, printer, office furniture, air conditioner and motor vehicle).
5. VALUATION CONSIDERATION AND ASSUMPTION
During our inspection of the sample Assets, the Assets had been observed to be in idle condition. Any deferred maintenance, physical wear and tear, operating malfunctions, lack of utility, or other observable conditions distinguishing the appraised assets from the Assets of like kind in new condition were noted and made part of our judgment in arriving at the value.
We have also investigated market condition, discussed with local staff and professional and examined relevant documents and specification supplied to us. On the basis of the foregoing, it was assumed that prospective earnings would not provide a reasonable return on the appraised value of the Assets, plus the value of any assets not included in the valuation. It was also assumed that there is inadequate net working capital to operate the Assets.
The situation being such, we have to a substantial extent relied upon our best judgment, while giving full consideration to the local condition.
We have not investigated any safety regulations regarding the subject production. It is assumed that all necessary licenses, procedures and measures were implemented in accordance with the relevant government legislation and guidance.
To the best of our knowledge, all data set forth in this report are true and accurate. The data, opinions, or estimates, identified as being furnished by others which have been used in formulating this analysis are gathered from reliable sources, yet, no guarantee is made nor liability assumed for the accuracy.
We did not investigate any financial data pertaining to the present or prospective earning capacity of the operation in which the Assets are used.
It must be noted that our valuation is relied on the information supplied by the Group that the Assets are in idle operating conditions. We did not attempt to operate or test the Assets. In addition, our valuation has been prepared based upon the assumptions that the Assets will continue in the existing use and the Assets will be used in the existing state with the benefit of continuity of tenure of land and buildings in the foreseeable future.
– III-4 –
APPENDIX III
MACHINERIES AND EQUIPMENT VALUATION REPORT
We have not carried out a mechanical survey, nor have we inspected covered or inaccessible areas of the Assets. Also no investigation was conducted as to whether the operation of specific pieces of Assets complied with the relevant environmental standard and ordinances; we have assumed that the Assets continue and will continue to comply with the current environmental standards and ordinances. We have made no allowance in our valuation for costs, if any, associated with the disposal or handling of materials required to comply with current or changing environment legislations.
We have made no investigation and assume no responsibility for titles or liabilities against the Assets.
The scope of this valuation is restricted to the Assets valued. We have therefore excluded in our valuation the land and buildings, current assets and intangible assets of Kaifeng Changfeng.
6. REMARKS
Our valuation is prepared in compliance with the International Valuation Standard published by International Valuation Standards Council.
We hereby confirm that we have neither present nor prospective interest in the Group, the Assets and the associated companies, or the values reported herein.
Unless otherwise stated, all monetary amounts stated in our valuation is in Renminbi (“ RMB ”).
7. VALUATION
Our opinion of the market value of the Assets, based on the aforesaid basis, assumptions and considerations, as at 31 December 2015 was RMB13,270,000 (RENMINBI THIRTEEN MILLION AND TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY THOUSAND) .
