LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Major Shareholder has given its written approval to the Acquisition in accordance with Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules in lieu of a general meeting to approve the Acquisition. However, as the Company will issue the Convertible Bonds to satisfy part of the Consideration, the Directors will seek a specific mandate from the Shareholders at the EGM to approve the issue of the Convertible Bonds. In addition, as the accountants’ reports of the HK Subsidiary and the PRC Subsidiary contain the First Qualified Opinion and the Second Qualified Opinion, written shareholders’ approval is therefore not accepted and a general meeting is required under Rule 14.86 of the Listing Rules.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, information of the Acquisition and the issue of the Convertible Bonds and to give you a notice of the EGM at which a resolution will be proposed to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereunder (including the issue of the Convertible Bonds).

THE AGREEMENT

Date: 21 September 2010 (after trading hours)

Parties:

  1. China Century Worldwide Limited as the Vendor

  2. the Company as the Purchaser

Assets to be acquired

Under the Agreement, the Company has conditionally agreed to acquire from the Vendor the Sale Shares, representing the entire issued share capital of the Target Company, together with all shareholders’ loans due from each of the Target Company and the HK Subsidiary to the Vendor as at Completion.

Consideration

The total consideration of HK$400,000,000 is to be satisfied by the Company upon Completion either by cash or by issuing the Convertible Bonds to the Vendor (or its nominee) or by a combination of both, at the sole and absolute discretion of the Company and depending on the then cash position of the Group.

The Company has determined that the Consideration of HK$400,000,000 shall be satisfied as to HK$335,000,000 in cash and as to HK$65,000,000 by issuing the Convertible Bonds at the Conversion Price upon Completion.

The cash portion of the Consideration will be financed by the internal resources of the Group. As at 31 December 2010, the unaudited cash position of the Group amounted to approximately HK$450 million. Given that the Consideration is partly satisfied by issuing the Convertible Bonds, the Board will have the intention to exercise its redemption right on the Convertible Bonds in the future when it considers appropriate.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As set out in the accountants’ reports on the HK Subsidiary (the “ First Accountants’ Report ”), the reporting accountants of the Company (the “ Reporting Accountants ”) have issued a qualified opinion (the “ First Qualified Opinion ”) on the HK Subsidiary that, the HK Subsidiary has not prepared consolidated financial information under Hong Kong Accounting Standard 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” issued by the HKICPA, and has not disclosed information regarding the post-acquisition results of the subsidiaries attributable to the HK Subsidiary (i.e. the net aggregate amount of unconsolidated results of the subsidiaries of the HK Subsidiary since their respective dates of acquisition of these subsidiaries not deal with in the HK Subsidiary’s Financial Information) as required by paragraph 18(4) of the Tenth Schedule to the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. The Directors are of the view that the inclusion of the financial information of Danyang into the consolidated financial statements of the HK Subsidiary may not be an appropriate illustration on the overall financial information of the Acquisition as Danyang is excluded from the Acquisition. In the event that the consolidated financial statements of the HK Subsidiary are prepared, additional time and audit works are required to perform on Danyang (which is excluded from the Acquisition), the Company considers it is not in the interests of the Company to allocate additional resources on any company which is excluded from the Acquisition.

As the Disposal is expected to complete before Completion, the Directors expect that the First Qualified Opinion will be removed from the consolidated financial statements of the Group accordingly.

As set out in the accountants’ reports on the PRC Subsidiary (the “ Second Accountants’ Report ”), the Reporting Accountants have issued a qualified opinion (the “ Second Qualified Opinion ”) on the PRC Subsidiary in relation to certain sales for the years ended 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 (the “ Transactions ”) (the “ Periods ”) handled by an ex-Director of the PRC Subsidiary (the “ Ex-Director ”), in which the Ex-Director performed the sales process and also the collection of sales proceeds from ultimate customers without adequate supporting documentation, including adequate documentation over cash receipt in respect of the Transactions. As a result of the alleged wrongful acts of the Ex-Director set out below, the Reporting Accountants are of the opinion that they have been unable either to obtain independent confirmation from the customers in respect of the Transactions, or to carry out alternative audit procedures to satisfy themselves as to the validity and completeness in respect of the Transactions, the related taxes and trade receivables.

The Ex-Director is currently under investigation conducted by relevant authority in the PRC (the “ Investigation ”). During the year ended 31 December 2009, the directors of the PRC Subsidiary became aware of internal control deficiencies and carried out an investigation of the Transactions handled by the Ex-Director and respective balances related to the Transactions. Based on the investigations conducted by the directors of the PRC Subsidiary, the PRC Subsidiary removed the Ex-Director as executive director and general manager on 15 May 2009 (the “ Removal ”) and an investigation and legal action has been commenced by the relevant authorities in the PRC for allegations in connection with the Ex-Director’s breach of fiduciary duties as a director and the damages arising from his misuse of the PRC Subsidiary’s resources, such as the PRC Subsidiary’s brands and information on customers (the “ Sales Information ”). The PRC Subsidiary alleged that the Ex-Director had directly or indirectly through the assistance of an independent third party, established a business in selling the products that are highly similar to the PRC Subsidiary’s products and misused the PRC Subsidiary’s Sales Information belonging to the PRC Subsidiary.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The current investigation and legal actions against the Ex-Director by the relevant PRC authorities relate to the PRC Subsidiary’s complaint for damages as a result of the Ex-Director’s alleged wrongful acts prior to May 2009.

The Company has reviewed both the due diligence report and legal opinion and no material finding has been reported. In addition, the Company also requested Zhong Lun Law Firm to assess the impact from the legal prospective on the Investigation and any other potential matters. According to Zhong Lun Law Firm, they are not aware of any material adverse impact arise from the Ex-Director’s case on the PRC Subsidiary as well as the Acquisition from the legal prospective.

In addition, the HK Subsidiary is allowed to control the board of the PRC Subsidiary under the articles of association of the PRC Subsidiary and after Completion, the Company shall conduct review on the existing members of the board of the PRC Subsidiary. In January 2011, the Company engaged LK Risk Services Limited (“ Internal Control Reviewer ”) to conduct a review on the Internal Control System of the PRC Subsidiary such that the Company could identify the potential risks, deficiencies and areas for possible improvement associated with the Internal Control System of the PRC Subsidiary prior to the Completion.

LK Risk Services Limited is a firm rendering internal control review services, which has been previously engaged in various internal control review projects for the following listed companies: Climax International Co. Ltd. (stock code: 439), China Primary Resources Holdings Limited (stock code: 8117) and China Packaging Group Co. Ltd. (stock code: 572).

Based on the review report issued by the Internal Control Reviewer, the Internal Control Reviewer identified the following key problems and recommendations of the Internal Control System:

Major findings from the Internal Control Reviewer:

  • the PRC Subsidiary has not documented its entity wide objective;

  • the PRC Subsidiary has not set up a formal risk management framework or practice. Therefore, there are no formal mechanisms to identify, monitor, report and follow up key risks faced by the PRC Subsidiary;

  • as the PRC Subsidiary is a private company, it did not have an audit committee. Though, it has a special committee to monitor the product quality so as to ensure the products are up to the ISO standards, it had not established an internal audit department to monitoring the internal control effectiveness;

  • as the PRC Subsidiary prepared its management account according to PRC GAAP, it recognised revenue according to the date of commercial invoice instead of the date of transferring risks and rewards. As a result, an audit adjustment had been provided by external auditor at the year ended;

  • though the year ended date for the PRC Subsidiary was 31 December, it would only recognize the cost of sales up to 25 December. In addition, if the PRC Subsidiary received any materials between 26 to 31 December, it would recognize it as purchase in the following month instead (i.e.: January). As a result, an audit adjustment would be required to adjust the cost of sales and inventory accordingly;

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • as required by PRC regulations, the PRC Subsidiary shall participate in the social insurance schemes operated by the relevant local government authorities. However, the PRC Subsidiary had breached such laws and regulations and failed to make sufficient contribution;

  • approximately 98% of cash balances (about RMB3.2 million) included in the management account as at 31 December 2010 was cash advance for staff. As a result, a reclassification entry had been provided by external auditor at the year ended. In addition, according to the PRC Subsidiary’s policy, the staff was required to submit supporting document to account department for expenditure recognition within five days when the transaction was completed. However, approximately 98% of the cash advance as at 31 December 2010 had an aging over one month or above; and

Furthermore, the PRC Subsidiary has not placed an upper limited for the cash advance.

  • the PRC Subsidiary has yet set up an internal audit department for monitoring;

  • Major recommendations from the Internal Control Reviewer:

  • the entity-wide objective shall be stated in the company’s website, brochure, company handbook etc.. so as to ensure the staff could understand the objective of the company. It could prevent any inconsistent for the activity level objectives;

  • the PRC Subsidiary shall develop a risk management policies and procedures, which includes but not limited to (i) risk management framework, structure and scope; (ii) setting business objectives and risk assessment process; (iii) frequency of assessment and monitoring mechanisms; and (iv) develop effective internal controls and action plan to mitigate risks identified;

In the monthly summary, it shall show the shipping terms and delivery date for each transaction. It could assist the PRC Subsidiary to identify whether the risk and rewards of the goods are transferred;

  • Note: Hong Kong Accounting Standard 18: one of the revenue recognition criteria is that the entity has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the buyer. However, as the PRC Subsidiary recognizes its revenue based on the date of commercial invoices instead of the date of transferring risks and rewards, its revenue recognition policy has violated Hong Kong Accounting Standard 18.

Global industry overview

The light-emitting diode (“ LED ”) sector is one of the fast growing industries in the world recently. According to the Reuters, lighting related products account for approximately 20% of the global electricity consumption. As LED bulbs are far more efficient than the traditional electric light bulb in terms of power consumption and carbon dioxide emission levels (which consumes only 20% of the energy of a traditional light bulb and lasts for up to 25,000 hours on average), LED becomes one of the key solutions to the energy-saving issue faced by different countries.

Due to the high global demand for LEDs, the global market value of the LEDs is increasing every year, and the LEDs become more and more important in the lighting markets. According to Photonis Industry & Technology Development Association’s research, the global market value for LEDs is approximately US$6,125 million, US$6,640 million, US$7,453 million, US$7,879 million and US$8,264 million in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 respectively, representing a year over year percentage (YoY) of approximately 4%, 8%, 12%, 6% and 5%. It is expected that the future global market value of the LED will keep increasing in the coming years.

LED lighting advantages

LED lighting has a variety of advantages over traditional lighting. These advantages have been developed over the past decades and are the fundamental reasons as to why LED lighting is gradually replacing traditional lighting in certain application areas.

  1. Energy efficiency. Traditional lighting sources, such as incandescent lighting, sends electric currents through a conductor whose resistance to the current produces heat. This is not efficient because over 90% of the resulting energy is dissipated as heat rather than as light. On the other hand, LEDs, which generate light due to a change of energy state, is non-thermal, therefore its energy loss is much less. LED’s ability to generate color light without a filter and LED light’s directional nature also contribute to the energy efficiency of LED lighting. In contrast to the traditional lighting fixtures, LEDs do not require filters to generate color but instead, rely only on the nature of the light emitted from the particular LEDs without any loss of energy due to filtering. LEDs emit light in a specific direction, reducing the need to trap light by the use of reflectors and diffusers. Traditional lighting sources emit light in all directions and need secondary optics to direct the light onto objects to be illuminated, which can result in a loss of 40% to 60% of the light output.

  2. Long life LED-based light sources can last up to 10 times longer than traditional light sources. The longevity of LED lighting reduces or even eliminates the ongoing maintenance costs and periodic lamp replacement costs, particular in applications where location makes replacement difficult.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. Digital control LEDs are semiconductor devices, which allows for an easy digital control on the light they emit. Interfaced with a digital controller or a computer, LED lighting applications can be developed and programmed in ways that were never feasible in the case of traditional lighting. For example, in the case of an LED screen, software enables multiple functions on different parts of the screen to be programmed simultaneously. Also with LEDs, a high-speed interface such as ethernet or digital visual interface can be used to support numerous control signals, such as high-definition video.

  2. Faster response time. The high switching speed of LEDs enables much more control flexibility in the choice of communication protocol between a controller and the lighting fixtures. An illumination LED will achieve full brightness in 0.01 second, 10 times faster than an incandescent light bulb (0.1 second), and many times faster than a compact fluorescent lamp.

  3. Safety and environmentally friendly. LEDs do not contain hazardous materials such as mercury which is used in the traditional lighting and have less carbon dioxide and contain no hazardous gases.

  4. Design flexibility and space efficiency. LEDs are typically smaller than traditional lighting sources, allowing for a variety of lighting designs capitalizing on the non-obtrusiveness of the source. LEDs provide lighting designers with additional options and choices compared to traditional lighting technologies.

  5. Reliability. Unlike traditional lighting which typically contains a fragile filament enclosed in a breakable glass enclosure, LEDs are solid-state devices encased in solid plastic lenses that are more shock-resistant and more robust in a physical structure.

Growth drivers of LED

Continuous strengthening of LED technology performance and reduction of cost:

It is expected that the LED technical performance will continue to improve rapidly and that the price of LED chips will continue to decline in the foreseeable future. The continued price-to-performance improvement is expected to further drive the growth of the LED lighting market in the future. Just as Moore’s Law predicted a doubling of the number of transistors in a silicon chip every 24 months, Haitz’s Law postulates that LEDs’ performance to price ratio will double every 18-24 months based on the fact that the performance of LED in terms of brightness or lumens per package has been increasing by about 30 times per decade (35% compound annual growth rate) while the cost of an LED ($/lumen) has decreased by about 10 times per decade.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Global energy and environmental awareness:

As a result of economic development, worldwide energy consumption has been increasing rapidly and shows no sign of slowing down. Given the potential for increasing prices for oil and natural gas to consume a greater proportion of household disposable income, it is expected that consumers will increasingly consider new ways to lower their energy consumption. Increasing environmental awareness may also lead to more stringent regulation on the emission of carbon dioxide. The wide application of LED lighting has the potential to bring significant energy savings and environmental benefits.

Increasing awareness and stricter regulation of hazardous materials will also enhance the preference of LEDs, which do not contain hazardous materials such as mercury and hazardous gas. In EU countries, ROHS legislation came into effect on 1 July 2006, which requires that mercury content in compact fluorescent lamps in Europe cannot exceed 5mg per lamp. This legislation is expected to encourage faster adoption of LED lighting in Europe.

Government support:

Governments worldwide are starting to recognize the potential value of LED technology, and several have taken steps to support industry growth. In the US, Department of Energy is accelerating the LED technology through organizing workshops and carrying out research plans. In July 2000, EU established “Rainbow project-AlInGaN for multicolor sources’’ to propel the application of LED. In the PRC, several central and local government agencies formed the National Solid-state Lighting Engineering Program* (國家半導體照明工程 ) to drive the industry growth.

Industry highlights of the LED industry in the PRC

According to iSuppli Corporation, an independent market research firm, driven by the soaring demand from new electronic applications such as LED-TV and general illumination, it is expected that the total revenues of LED market in the PRC will be increased from about US$3.4 billion in 2009 to US$7.1 billion by 2014, representing a compound annual growth rate (“ CAGR ”) of approximately 15.7%. In addition, the LED industry is regarded as one of the important business segments in the PRC, in which relevant favorable policies such as the subsidy and tax benefits have been launched by the PRC government to support the LED manufacturers.

The PRC Subsidiary is listed on the China Torch Research Program (火炬計劃) and manufactured practical patented products, therefore, is able to apply high and new technological financial subsidy. Furthermore, as advised by the Vendor, newly established provincial high and new technological enterprises can enjoy the income tax benefits of “two-year exemption, six-year half reduction of levy (兩年免征,六年減半徵收)” according to the tax policy of the PRC.

In the past, the PRC Subsidiary was granted the subsidy of special guide fund of Jiangsu Province (江蘇省專項引導資金) and subsidy of technological innovation and technology transfer (technology platform) special guide fund of Jiangsu Province (江蘇省科技創新與成果轉化(科技服務平臺) 專項引導資金). The PRC Subsidiary was also gained a financing contract with small and medium enterprise Technology Innovation Fund Management Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the PRC* (科技部科技型中小企業技術創新基金管理中心).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Potential competition

The LED market in the PRC is intensive. Most players are in similar size. The PRC Subsidiary is only one of the LED industry participants and faces a keen competition market. Although there is no stringent regulatory requirements to operate the LED business in the PRC, the high capital expenditure required to establish an LED plant and importation of core equipments, LED production technology requirements and the well functioned research and development team pose significant barriers to entry for new competitors. In addition, the PRC Subsidiary considers it is important to create a strong brand name to differentiate itself from its competitors.

In view of all the above favourable factors, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms and conditions of the Acquisition are fair and reasonable and the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

POSSIBLE FINANCIAL IMPACT OF THE ACQUISITION

After the completion of the Acquisition, each member of the Target Group will become a subsidiary of the Company, the financial results of the Target Group will be consolidated into the financial statements of the Group.

Effect on assets and liabilities

As extracted from the interim report of the Company (the “ Interim Report ”), the unaudited consolidated total assets and total liabilities of the Group was approximately HK$682.40 million and HK$51.74 million as at 30 June 2010. With reference to the unaudited pro-forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as contained in Appendix III to this circular, the Enlarged Group’s total assets and liabilities would be increased to approximately HK$926.41 million and HK$176.43 million respectively upon completion of the Acquisition.

Effect on earnings

In light of the future prospects of the PRC Subsidiary, the Directors are of the view that the Acquisition would likely have a positive impact on the future earnings of the Enlarged Group.

Effect on gearing and working capital

According to the unaudited pro-forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as contained in Appendix III to this circular, the Group’s gearing ratio (expressed as a percentage of total liabilities over the Group’s net assets value) was approximately 8.20% as at 30 June 2010. Upon completion of the Acquisition, the total liabilities of the Enlarged Group would be increased to approximately HK$176.43 million while the Group’s net assets value would be increased to approximately HK$749.98 million. The Enlarged Group’s gearing ratio would thus be approximately 23.52%.

As the Company intends to satisfy the Consideration partly by the issue of the Convertible Bonds, the working capital of the Enlarged Group upon completion of the Acquisition will be decreased by the cash portion of the Consideration.

We were engaged to audit on the Underlying Financial Statements in accordance with the Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA. The Financial Information of China Opto as set out in this report for inclusion in the Circular has been prepared from the Underlying Financial Statements without adjustments.

APPENDIX IIA ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE HK SUBSIDIARY

Respective responsibilities of sole director and reporting accountants

The sole director of China Opto is responsible for the preparation of the Underlying Financial Statements and the Financial Information which give a true and fair view. In preparing the Financial Information, it is fundamental that appropriate accounting policies are selected and applied consistently, that the judgements and estimates made are prudent and reasonable and that the reasons for any significant departure from applicable accounting standards are stated. The directors of the Company are responsible for the contents of the Circular in which this report is included.

It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion, based on our examination, on the Financial Information and to report our opinion to you.

Basis of disclaimer opinion

As explained in Notes 3 and 11 to the Financial Information, China Opto has not prepared consolidated financial information in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” (“HKAS 27”) issued by the HKICPA. In addition, information regarding the post-acquisition results of the subsidiaries attributable to China Opto has not been disclosed as required by paragraph 18(4) of the Tenth Schedule to the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. In our opinion, there is insufficient information concerning the subsidiaries in the Financial Information to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of China Opto and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “China Opto Group”) as at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 and 31 October 2010 and of the China Opto Group’s results and cash flows as a whole for the Relevant Periods. It is not practicable for us to quantify the effects of the departure from these requirements on the Financial Information for the Relevant Periods.

Disclaimer of opinion

Because of the significance of the matters described in the basis for disclaimer of opinion paragraph, we do not express an opinion on the Financial Information as to whether they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the China Opto at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 and at 31 October 2010, and of the results and cash flows of the China Opto Group for each of the Relevant Periods in accordance with HKFRSs and as to whether the Financial Information have been properly prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE HK SUBSIDIARY

APPENDIX IIA

Review conclusion

The comparative statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the ten months ended 31 October 2009 together with the notes thereon have been extracted from China Opto’s financial information for the same period (the “31 October 2009 Financial Information”), which was prepared by the sole director of China Opto solely for the purpose of this report as explained in Notes 3 and 11 to the Financial Information, China Opto has not prepared consolidated financial information in accordance with HKAS 27.

It is our responsibility to form an independent conclusion, based on our review, and to report our conclusion to you. For the purpose of this report, we have reviewed the 31 October 2009 Financial Information in accordance with the Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the HKICPA.

Our review consists principally of making enquiries of the China Opto’s management and applying analytical procedures to the 31 October 2009 Financial Information and based thereon, assessing whether the accounting policies and presentation have been consistently applied unless otherwise disclosed. A review excludes audit procedures such as tests of controls and verification of assets, liabilities and transactions. It is substantially less in scope than an audit and therefore provides a lower level of assurance than an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the 31 October 2009 Financial Information.

Because of the significance of the matters described in the basis for disclaimer of opinion paragraphs, we were unable to reach a review conclusion as to whether material modifications should be made to the 31 October 2009 Financial Information.

APPENDIX IIA ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE HK SUBSIDIARY

(A) FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued)

The registered office and principal place of business of China Opto is located at 37/F., Cosco Tower, Grand Millennium Plaza, 183 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued)

2. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“HKFRSs”) (Continued)

HKFRS9 “Financial instruments” introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and will be effective from 1 January 2013, with earlier application permitted. The standard requires all recognised financial assets that are within the scope of HKAS 39 “Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement” to be measured at either amortised cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that (i) are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows and (ii) have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortised cost. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at fair value. The application of HKFRS 9 might affect the classification and measurement of the China Opto’s financial assets.

The sole director of China Opto anticipates that the application of other new and revised standards, amendments or interpretations will have no material impact on the Financial Information.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA except that consolidated financial information has not been prepared in accordance with HKAS 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” issued by the HKICPA. In addition, the Financial Information includes applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance except that the information regarding the post-acquisition results of the subsidiaries attributable to China Opto has not been disclosed as required by paragraph 18(4) of the Tenth Schedule to the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. These policies have been consistently applied to all the Relevant Periods presented. All accounting policies are materially consistent with the accounting policies adopted by the Group, unless otherwise stated.

The Financial Information have been prepared on the historical cost basis as explained in the accounting policies set out below.

Revenue recognition

Interest income from a financial asset is accrued on a timely basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount.

Investments in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are included in the statements of financial position at cost less any identified impairment loss. The results of the subsidiaries are accounted for on the basis of dividend received or receivable during the period/year.

APPENDIX IIA ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE HK SUBSIDIARY

(A) FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued)

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Income tax

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the period/year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statements of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years, and it further excludes items of income or expense that are never taxable and deductible. China Opto’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Financial Information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of the reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the sole director of China Opto expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment

At the end of the reporting period, China Opto reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued)

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the statements of financial position when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.

Financial assets

China Opto’s financial assets are classified into loans and receivables.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. At the end of reporting period subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including other receivables and bank balances) are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses (see accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below).

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the Relevant Periods. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Income is recognised on effective interest basis for the debt instruments.

Impairment loss on financial assets

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of reporting period. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been impacted.

For all of China Opto’s financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include:

  • significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or

  • default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or

  • it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation.

Impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

The carrying amount of the loans and receivables is reduced by the impairment loss directly. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decrease and the recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

Financial instruments (Continued)

Financial liabilities and equity

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of China Opto after deducting all of its liabilities. China Opto’s financial liabilities are generally classified as other financial liabilities. The accounting policies adopted in respect of financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities including other payables and amounts due to holding companies are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the Relevant Periods. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period. Interest expense is recognised on an effective interest basis.

Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the China Opto are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire or, the financial assets are transferred and China Opto has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised directly in equity is recognised in profit or loss.

For financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration received or receivable is recognised in profit or loss.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of the assets’ previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

Foreign currencies

In preparing the Financial Information of China Opto, transactions in currencies other than its functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded in its functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates) at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period/year in which they arise.

4. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

China Opto’s policy is to maintains strong capital base to ensure that China Opto will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders through the optimisation of the debts and equity balance. China Opto’s overall strategy remains unchanged throughout the Relevant Periods.

The capital structure of China Opto consists of net debts, which include amounts due to holding companies and sole director, bank balances and equity attributable to owners of China Opto, comprising capital and reserves.

The sole director of China Opto reviews the capital structure on an annual basis. As part of this review, the sole director considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the sole director, China Opto will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends, capital injection as well as the issue of new debts or the redemption of existing debts.

Financial risk management objectives and policies

China Opto’s major financial instruments include other receivables, amounts due to holding companies, other payables as well as bank balances and cash.

The sole director manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

Market risk

Interest rate risk

China Opto’s cash flow interest rate risk primarily relates to variable-rate bank balances. In the opinion of its sole director, the exposure is insignificant.

Sensitivity analysis

The following table details China Opto’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in RMB against HK$. 5% sensitivity rate used represents the sole director’s assessment of the reasonable possible change in foreign exchange rates.

A positive number below indicates an increase in post-tax profit (or decrease in post-tax loss) where RMB strengthen 5% against HK$ for the Relevant Periods. For a 5% weakening of RMB against HK$, there would be an equal and opposite impact on the post-tax profit (or post-tax loss).

Profit or loss 2,982 6,959 6,966 6,964 6,819

Credit risk

China Opto’s credit risk is primarily attributable to bank balances. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because China Opto’s bank balances are deposited with a bank of high credit ratings.

Liquidity risk

As at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 and 31 October 2010, China Opto had net current liabilities of RMB69,969,000, RMB139,049,000, RMB139,209,000 and RMB86,389,000 respectively. If the Acquisition is successfully completed, the Company has agreed to provide adequate funds to enable China Opto to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due for foreseeable future.

China Opto’s financial liabilities are either repayable within 12 months or on demand at the end of each reporting period.

Fair value

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis using the relevant prevailing market rates.

The sole director considers that carrying values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the Financial Information approximate their corresponding fair values.

The consolidated financial information has not been prepared in accordance with HKAS 27 and information regarding the post-acquisition results of the subsidiaries attributable to China Opto has not been disclosed as required by paragraph 18(4) of the Tenth Schedule to the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. The sole director of China Opto considers that the inclusion of the financial information of Danyang may not be an appropriate illustration on the financial information of the Acquisition as Danyang is excluded from the Acquisition, therefore consolidated financial information of China Opto has not been prepared.

APPENDIX IIB ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE PRC SUBSIDIARY

For the purpose of this report, the directors of Jiangsu Wenrun had prepared the consolidated financial statements of the Wenrun Group for the Relevant Periods in accordance with the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (the “HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”) (the “Underlying Financial Statements”).

We were engaged to audit on the Underlying Financial Statements in accordance with the Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA. The Financial Information of the Wenrun Group as set out in this report for inclusion in the Circular has been prepared from the Underlying Financial Statements without adjustments. We have examined the Financial Information and have carried out such additional procedures as considered necessary in accordance with the Auditing Guideline 3.340 “Prospectuses and the Reporting Accountants” as recommended by the HKICPA.

Respective responsibilities of directors and reporting accountants

The directors of Jiangsu Wenrun are responsible for the preparation of the Underlying Financial Statements and the Financial Information which give a true and fair view. In preparing the Financial Information, it is fundamental that appropriate accounting policies are selected and applied consistently, that the judgements and estimates made are prudent and reasonable and that the reasons for any significant departure from applicable accounting standards are stated. The directors of the Company are responsible for the contents of the Circular in which this report is included.

It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion, based on our examination, on the Financial Information and to report our opinion to you.

Basis of qualified opinion

Included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the years ended 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009, turnover of approximately RMB13,235,000, RMB18,682,000 and RMB2,230,000 (the “Transactions”) were recorded in the respective years. At 31 December 2007 and 2008, the trade receivables of approximately RMB3,365,000 and RMB6,406,000 respectively were in related to the Transactions. The trade receivables in related to the Transactions as at 31 December 2009 have nil carrying value after accumulated impairment of approximately RMB1,808,000. The sales processes of the Transactions were mainly handled by a former executive director, who performed the sales process and also collection of sales proceeds from ultimate customers without adequate supporting documentation, including adequate documentation over cash receipt in respect of the Transactions. Accordingly, we have been unable either to obtain independent confirmation from the customers in respect of the Transactions, or to carry out alternative audit procedures to satisfy ourselves as to the validity and completeness in respect of the Transactions, the related taxes and trade receivables. Any adjustments found to be necessary in relation to the Transactions would have a consequential effect on the Wenrun Group’s results and cash flows for the respective years and net assets at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009.

– 64 –

APPENDIX IIB ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE PRC SUBSIDIARY

Qualified opinion arising from limitation of audit scope

In our opinion, except for the possible effects of matters described in the basis for qualified opinion paragraph, the Financial Information, for the purpose of this report, give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Wenrun Group as at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 and at 31 October 2010, and of the results and cash flows of the Wenrun Group for each of the Relevant Periods.

Review conclusion

The comparative consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the ten months ended 31 October 2009 together with the notes thereon have been extracted from the Wenrun Group’s financial information for the same period (the “31 October 2009 Financial Information”), which was prepared by the directors of Jiangsu Wenrun solely for the purpose of this report. It is our responsibility to form an independent conclusion, based on our review, and to report our conclusion to you. For the purpose of this report, we have reviewed the 31 October 2009 Financial Information in accordance with the Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the HKICPA.

Our review consists principally of making enquiries of the Wenrun Group’s management and applying analytical procedures to the 31 October 2009 Financial Information and based thereon, assessing whether the accounting policies and presentation have been consistently applied unless otherwise disclosed. A review excludes audit procedures such as tests of controls and verification of assets, liabilities and transactions. It is substantially less in scope than an audit and therefore provides a lower level of assurance than an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the 31 October 2009 Financial Information.

Based on our review, with the exception of any modifications to the matters described in the basis for qualified of opinion paragraphs, nothing has come to our attention that cause us to believe that the 31 October 2009 Financial Information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting policies consistent with those used in the preparation of the Financial Information, which conform with HKFRSs.

APPENDIX IIB ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE PRC SUBSIDIARY

(A) FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued)

2. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“HKFRSs”) (Continued)

HKFRS 9 “Financial instruments” introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and will be effective from 1 January 2013, with earlier application permitted. The standard requires all recognised financial assets that are within the scope of HKAS 39 “Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement” to be measured at either amortised cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that (i) are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows and (ii) have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortised cost. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at fair value. The application of HKFRS 9 might affect the classification and measurement of the Wenrun Group’s financial assets.

The directors of Jiangsu Wenrun anticipate that the application of other new and revised standards, amendments or interpretations will have no material impact on the Financial Information.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA. In addition, the Financial Information includes applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. These policies have been consistently applied to all the Relevant Periods presented. All accounting policies are materially consistent with the accounting policies adopted by the Group, unless otherwise stated.

The Financial Information have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies set out below.

Basis of consolidation

The Financial Information incorporates the financial statements of Jiangsu Wenrun and entities controlled by Jiangsu Wenrun (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where Jiangsu Wenrun has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year/period are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Wenrun Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

Minority interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are presented separately from the Wenrun Group’s equity therein. Minority interests in the net assets consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the minority’s share of changes in equity since the date of the combination. Losses applicable to the minority in excess of the minority’s interest in the subsidiary’s equity are allocated against the interests of the Wenrun Group except to the extent that the minority has a binding obligation and is able to make an additional investment to cover the losses.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Basis of consolidation (Continued)

For business combination that involves more than one exchange transaction through successive share purchases, each exchange transaction is treated separately, using the cost of the transaction and fair value information at the date of each exchange transaction, to determine the amount of any goodwill associated with that transaction. The acquiree’s net assets are stated at fair values relating to previously held interests of the Wenrun Group is a revaluation and is credited to other reserve.

Acquisition of additional interests in subsidiaries is recorded at the book value of the net assets attributable to the interests. The excess of the carrying amounts of net assets attributable to the interests over the cost of acquisition is recognised as discount on acquisition.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods sold in the normal course of business, net of discounts and sales related taxes.

Revenue from sales of goods is recognised when the goods are delivered and title has been passed.

Interest income from a financial asset is accrued on a timely basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount.

Dividend income is recognised when the shareholders’ right to receive payment has been established.

Sundry income is recognised when received.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment including buildings held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes other than construction in progress are stated at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment (other than construction in progress) over their estimated useful lives and after taking into account of their estimated residual value, using the straight-line method.

Construction in progress includes property, plant and equipment in the course of construction for production or for its own use purposes. Construction in progress is carried at cost less any recognised impairment loss. Construction in progress is classified to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income in the year/period in which the item is derecognised.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Prepaid lease payments

Payment for obtaining land use rights is accounted for as prepaid lease payments and is charged to the consolidated statements of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated using the weighted average method.

Retirement benefit costs

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are charged as an expenses when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Income tax

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year/period. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years, and it further excludes items of income or expense that are never taxable and deductible. The Wenrun Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Financial Information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of the reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Wenrun Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Research and development expenditure

Expenditure on research and development activities is recognised as an expense in the year/period in which it is incurred.

Impairment

At the end of the reporting period, the Wenrun Group reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the consolidated statements of financial position when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.

Financial assets

The Wenrun Group’s financial assets are classified into loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place. The accounting policies adopted in respect of each category of financial assets are set out below.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. At the end of reporting period subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including trade and other receivables, amount due from holding company and minority shareholder of a subsidiary, pledged bank deposits and bank balances and cash) are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses (see accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below).

Financial assets (Continued)

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for sale or are not classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investments.

Available-for-sale equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are carried at cost less any identified impairment loss at each end of reporting period subsequent to initial recognition (see accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below).

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the Relevant Periods. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Income is recognised on effective interest basis for the debt instruments.

Impairment loss on financial assets

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of reporting period. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been impacted.

For all of the Wenrun Group’s financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include:

  • significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or

  • default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or

  • it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation.

For certain categories of financial assets, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Wenrun Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period, and observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.

For loans and receivables impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

Impairment loss on financial assets (Continued)

For available-for-sale equity investments which are carried at cost less any identified impairment loss, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to profit or loss.

For loans and receivables, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment losses was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

Financial liabilities and equity

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Wenrun Group after deducting all of its liabilities. The Wenrun Group’s financial liabilities are generally classified as other financial liabilities. The accounting policies adopted in respect of financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities including trade and other payables and bank borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the Relevant Periods. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period. Interest expense is recognised on an effective interest basis.

Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the Wenrun Group are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire or, the financial assets are transferred and the Wenrun Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised directly in equity is recognised in profit or loss.

For financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration received or receivable is recognised in profit or loss.

Foreign currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are recorded in its functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates) at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the year/period in which they arise. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the year/ period in which they arise. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the Relevant Periods.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Wenrun Group recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Government grants related to depreciable assets are recognised as a deferred income in the statements of financial position and transferred to profit or loss over the useful lives of the related assets. Other government grants are recognised as revenue over the periods necessary to match them with the costs for which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis. Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Wenrun Group with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.

Borrowing costs

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the year/period in which they are incurred.

4. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Wenrun Group’s policy is to maintain s strong capital base to ensure that the group entities will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders through the optimisation of the debts and equity balance. The Wenrun Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged throughout the Relevant Periods.

The capital structure of the Wenrun Group consists of net debts, which include bank borrowings, bank balances and equity attributable to owners of Jiangsu Wenrun, comprising capital and reserves.

The directors of Jiangsu Wenrun review the capital structure on an annual basis. As part of this review, the directors consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the directors, the Wenrun Group will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends, capital injection as well as the issue of new debts or the redemption of existing debts.

5. KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of each of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are also discussed below.

Allowance for trade and other receivables

The provision policy for impairment of trade and other receivables of the Wenrun Group is based on the ongoing evaluation of the collectability, and ageing analyses of the outstanding receivables and management’s judgement. A considerable amount of judgement is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these receivables, including creditworthiness and the past collection history of each customer. If the financial conditions of the customers of the Wenrun Group were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Estimated impairment of inventories

The management of the Wenrun Group reviews the inventories listing on a product-by-product basis at the end of the reporting period. The management estimates the net realisable value for such items based primarily on the latest invoice prices and current market conditions. The Wenrun Group provided the allowance for inventories of approximately RMB7,019,000 for the year ended 31 December 2009 (years ended 31 December 2007 and 2008 and ten months ended 31 October 2010: Nil).

6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Wenrun Group’s major financial instruments include available-for-sale investment, trade and other receivables, bills receivable, amounts due from holding company and a minority shareholder of a subsidiary, pledged bank deposits, trade and other payables and bank borrowings, as well as bank balances and cash. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The directors manage and monitor these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

Market risk

Interest rate risk

The Wenrun Group is exposed to fair value interest rate risk in relation to its fixed-rate bank borrowings. The Wenrun Group is also exposed to cash flow interest rate risk primarily relates to variable-rate pledged bank deposits, bank balances and bank borrowings.

The Wenrun Group currently has not used any interest rate swaps in order to mitigate its exposure associated with fluctuations relating to interest cash flows. However, the management monitors interest rate exposure and will consider necessary actions when significant interest rate exposure is anticipated.

The Wenrun Group’s cash flow interest rate risk is mainly concentrated on the fluctuation of The People’s Bank of China’s benchmark interest rate arising from the Wenrun Group’s variable rate bank borrowings.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments relating to variable-rate bank balances and bank borrowings as at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 and 31 October 2010. The analysis is prepared assuming the amount of assets outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year/period. A 20 basis points increase or decrease is used for each of the years ended 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 and ten months ended 31 October 2010 when reporting interest rate risk internally to the directors and represents the directors’ assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

If interest rates had been 20 basis points higher and all other variables were held constant, the Wenrun Group’s profit for each of the years ended 31 December 2007 would decrease by approximately RMB126,000 and for the ten months period ended 31 October 2010 would decrease by approximately RMB15,000 and the Wenrun Group’s loss for the years ended 31 December 2008 and 2009 would decrease by approximately RMB114,000 and RMB38,000 respectively.

If interest rates had been 20 basis points lower and all other variables were held constant, there would be an equal and opposite impact on profit (loss) for the respective year/period.

Market risk (Continued)

Currency risk

Certain bank balances, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, bank borrowings are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Wenrun Group. The Wenrun Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy. However, the directors monitor foreign exchange exposure and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.

The carrying amounts of the Wenrun Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at end of the reporting period are as follows:

Sensitivity analysis

The Wenrun Group is mainly exposed to the risk of fluctuations in the United States dollar. The following table illustrates the sensitivity to profit or loss where relevant functional currencies strengthen 2% against respective foreign currencies. 2% is the sensitivity rate that represents the directors’ assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation to relevant functional currencies at year end for a 2% change in foreign currency rates. For a 2% weakening of relevant functional currencies against respective foreign currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on profit (loss) for the respective year/period.

Credit risk

The Wenrun Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to trade and other receivables, amount due from holding company and minority shareholder of a subsidiary, pledged bank deposits and bank balances.

The Wenrun Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss in the event of the counterparties failure to perform their obligations as at the end of the reporting period in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as stated in the statements of financial position.

In order to minimise credit risk, management reviews the recoverable amount of each individual debt regularly to ensure that adequate impairment losses are recognised for irrecoverable debts. In this regard, management considers that the Wenrun Group’s credit risk is significant reduced.

The Wenrun Group has concentration of credit risk, as at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 and 31 October 2010, about 40%, 36%, 39% and 55% of the Wenrun Group’s trade receivables are due from five major customers. In addition, the Wenrun Group also has concentration of credit risk in respect to its amount due from holding company. The management closely monitors the subsequent settlement of the counterparties. In this regard, the directors of the Wenrun Group consider that the credit risk is significantly reduced.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the Wenrun Group’s bank balances are deposited with banks of high credit ratings in the PRC.

Liquidity risk

In the management of the liquidity risk, the Wenrun Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the Wenrun Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.

The following table details the Wenrun Group’s remaining contractual maturities for its non-derivative financial liabilities. It has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Wenrun Group can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

Notes:

  • (i) Segment results represent the profit or loss earned by each segment without allocation of other income, gains and losses, centralised administrative expense, research and development expenses and finance costs. This is the measure reported to the directors of Jiangsu Wenrun for the purpose of resource allocation and performance assessments.

  • (ii) Other than inventories, all assets are not allocated to reportable segments. A customer could purchase inventories from different reportable segments, hence trade receivables cannot be allocated to respective segments on a reasonable basis. All liabilities are not allocated to operating segments, as the Wenrun Group’s trade payables represented payables to common suppliers of the operating segments, which cannot be allocated to respective segments on a reasonable basis.

12. INCOME TAX EXPENSE

On 16 March 2007, the PRC promulgated the Law of the PRC on Enterprise Income Tax (the “EIT Law”) by Order No. 63 of the President of the PRC. On 6 December 2007, the State Council of the PRC issued Implementation Regulation of EIT Law (the “Implementation Regulation”). EIT Law and Implementation Regulations changed the Enterprise Income Tax rate from 33% to 25% for Wenrun Technology and Zhenjiang Wenrun from 33% to 25% from 1 January 2008.

Pursuant to relevant laws and regulations in the PRC, Jiangsu Wenrun was entitled to adopt a tax rate of 25% and was exempted from PRC income tax for the two years starting from their first profit-making year, followed by a 50% tax relief for the following three years, as Jiangsu Wenrun is registered as a sino-foreign investment joint venture. For the years ended 31 December 2007 and 2008, Jiangsu Wenrun enjoyed the 50% tax relief. On 21 October 2008, Jiangsu Wenrun was approved as Hi-New Technology Enterprise by the relevant government authority and is entitled to adopt a tax rate of 15% for the three years ending 31 December 2011. The applicable tax rate of Jiangsu Wenrun for the year ended 31 December 2009 and the ten months ended 31 October 2010 is 15%.

The tax charge provided has been made after taking into the tax incentives as stated above.

Unlisted equity securities, at cost 520 520 520

The above unlisted investment represents investment in less than 1% equity interests of unlisted equity securities issued by a private PRC rural credit cooperation union. There was no quoted market price in an active market and hence was stated at cost less impairment at end of the reporting period because the range of reasonable fair value estimates was so significant that the directors of Jiangsu Wenrun are in the opinion that the fair value could not be reliably measured.

During the ten months ended 31 October 2010, this rural credit cooperation union repurchased the equity interests from the Wenrun Group at its original investment cost.

Before accepting any new customer, the Wenrun Group will assess the potential customer’s credit quality and defines credit limits by customer. Limits attributed to customers are reviewed annually.

In determining the recoverability of the trade receivables, the Wenrun Group considers any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable from the date credit was initially granted up to the reporting date. Except for the concentration risk on few customers as disclosed in Note 6, the concentration of credit risk is limited due to the remaining customers consisting of a large number of customers. The directors also believe that there is no further credit provision required in excess of the allowance for doubtful debts.

As at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 and 31 October 2010, the trade receivables of approximately RMB30,358,000, RMB28,428,000, RMB31,469,000 and RMB53,170,000 respectively were neither past due nor impaired.

As at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 and 31 October 2010, trade receivables of approximately RMB804,000, RMB2,978,000, RMB827,000 and RMB34,000 respectively were past due but not provided for as there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the amounts are still considered recoverable. The Wenrun Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.

APPENDIX IIB ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE PRC SUBSIDIARY

(A) FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued)

29. MAJOR NON-CASH TRANSACTIONS

During the year ended 31 December 2008, the Wenrun Group utilised approximately RMB5,279,000 of deposits paid for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment.

30. LITIGATION

During the year ended 31 December 2009, the directors of Jiangsu Wenrun became aware of internal control deficiencies and carried out an investigation of certain sales transactions handled by a former executive director and general manager, Mr. Guo (the “Transactions”) and balances related to the Transactions. Based on the investigations conducted by the directors, Jiangsu Wenrun removed Mr. Guo as executive director and general manager on 15 May 2009 and an investigation and legal action has been commenced by the relevant authorities in the PRC for allegations in connection with Mr. Guo’s breach of fiduciary duties as a director and the damages arising from his misuse of Wenrun Group’s resources, such as Jiangsu Wenrun’s brands and information on customers (“Sales Information”). The Jiangsu Wenrun alleged that Mr. Guo have directly or indirectly through the assistance of an independent third party, established a business in selling the products that are highly similar to Wenrun Group’s products and misused Wenrun Group’s Sales Information belonging to Wenrun Group.

Based on the legal opinions issued by the Zhong Lun Law Firm, it is not probable that the outcome of the litigation will result in additional costs or further economic loss to Wenrun Group, accordingly, no liability has been accrued by the Wenrun Group for the Relevant Periods and there is no contingent liability in relation thereto as at 31 October 2010.

31. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Under the Interim Regulations on Collection and Payment of Social Insurance Premiums (“Interim Regulations”) (社會保險費徵繳暫行條例) implemented from 22 January 1999 and the Interim Measures Concerning the Administration of the Registration of Social Insurance (社會保險登記管理暫行辦法) adopted since 19 March 1999, employers in the PRC should register social insurance with the local social insurance authorities, and make contributions to the basic pension insurance fund, basic medical insurance fund and unemployment insurance fund for their employees.

Pursuant to the Interim Regulation, the relevant authorities (i.e. the labour security administration authorities or the tax authorities) in respect of the social insurance fund have authority to demand payment from Wenrun Group for any outstanding social insurance premiums. The PRC lawyer has advised that a possible penalty or fine may be demanded on the outstanding social insurance premiums on time as demanded by the relevant authorities in future.

The amount of outstanding social insurance premiums which was not demanded by the relevant authorities for the years ended 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 and the ten months ended 31 October 2010 was RMB625,000, RMB970,000, RMB380,000 and RMB534,000 respectively. The Directors of Wenrun Group confirm that up to the date of this report, the Wenrun Group has not received any such demand from the relevant authorities and the Wenrun Group will pay the outstanding social insurance premiums on time upon receipt of any demand from the relevant authorities in future. Based on the opinion of the PRC lawyer and the preliminary assessment of the amount of overdue social insurance premiums, the Directors are of the view that there is no material adverse impact on the Wenrun Group as a result of the non-compliance with the social insurance scheme. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Vendor shall indemnify the Purchaser against all loss and damages in connection with the non-compliance with the social insurance schemes of the PRC Subsidiary.

APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

(C) UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION (Continued)

Notes:

  1. The financial information of the Group is extracted from the published interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2010 issued on 27 August 2010.

  2. The statement of financial position of China Opto and consolidated statement of financial position of Jiangsu Wenrun Group are extracted from the accountants’ reports thereon as set out in Appendices IIA and IIB to the Circular, respectively and are translated from their presentation currency, Renminbi, to Hong Kong dollars at the rate of RMB0.871 to HK$1, which is the prevailing exchange rate as at 30 June 2010. The accountants’ reports of China Opto and Jiangsu Wenrun were prepared by Zenith CPA Limited.

  3. The completion of the Acquisition is conditional upon the disposal of China Opto’s entire investment in 55.56% equity interest in Danyang at cost of approximately HK$56,919,000. The consideration will be settled through current account of China Opto with its former holding company, which is included in trade and other payables. Loss of HK$486,000 will be resulted from this disposal.

  4. Goodwill of approximately HK$275,076,000 is assumed to arise from the Acquisition, which is provisionally estimated based on the excess of the aggregate of the consideration of HK$399,708,000 comprising of the fair value of the convertible bonds amounting to HK$64,708,000 and cash consideration of HK$335,000,000 and non-controlling interests of 30.56% equity interests in Jiangsu Wenrun of HK$54,617,000, over the assumed fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired from the Acquisition of HK$179,249,000.

The bank balances and cash of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information is a negative cash balance of HK$160,881,000. The cash consideration will be financed by the internal resources and the other borrowing which have been obtained by the Group subsequent to 30 June 2010. In the opinion of the directors, as at the date of report, the Group has sufficient cash balance to settle the shortfall.

Non-controlling interests in Jiangsu Wenrun is measured at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the recognised amounts of Jiangsu Wenrun Group’s identifiable net assets.

The convertible bonds are denominated in Hong Kong dollars with principal amount of HK$65,000,000, bear interest at 3% per annum and will be matured on the date falling on the 3rd anniversary of the issue of the convertible bonds. The convertible bonds can be converted into 30,952,380 shares of the Company at conversion price of HK$2.1 per share. The Company may redeem the convertible bonds at 100% of the principal outstanding amount at any time from the date of issue to the maturity date.

In accordance with HKAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”, the convertible bonds to be issued by the Company are assumed to contain two components, namely (i) liability component; and (ii) embedded derivatives representing the conversion option and early redemption option. The Company has engaged Roma Appraisals Limited, an independent valuer to perform valuation of the convertible bonds as if HK$65,000,000 principal amount of the convertible bonds were issued on 30 June 2010. The liability component is recognised at fair value of HK$48,316,000 which is estimated using an effective interest rate of 14% per annum. The embedded derivatives component is recognised at HK$16,392,000 which is determined by application of Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The fair value of the convertible bonds will be re-estimated at the date of the Acquisition. For the purpose of the preparation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, as the fair value of the convertible bonds as a whole on the date of its issuance may not approximate the early redemption price of HK$65,000,000, it is assumed that the conversion option and the early redemption option are embedded derivatives which need to be separately accounted for.

(C) UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION (Continued)

Notes: (Continued)

Expected volatility: 74.273%

Effective interest rate: 14%

The fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities to be acquired from the Acquisition is assumed to be HK$179,249,000, which is estimated as follows:

  • (a) Carrying amount of net assets of China Opto as at 31 October 2010, of HK$9,885,000 reduced by HK$486,000, being loss arising from the disposal of 55.56% equity interests in Danyang;

Notes: (Continued)

  1. (Continued)

For the purpose of preparing the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of China Opto and Jiangsu Wenrun Group as at the date of the Acquisition are assumed to be the same as their carrying amounts as at 31 October 2010. Accordingly, the amount of goodwill is subject to change upon the completion of (i) the identification of other assets and liabilities of China Opto and Jiangsu Wenrun Group, such as intangible assets, if any; (ii) the valuation of the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of China Opto and Jiangsu Wenrun Group; and (iii) the valuation of the fair value of convertible bonds, as at the date of the Acquisition.

The directors of the Company have assessed whether the goodwill may be impaired as at 30 June 2010 on a pro forma basis, in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 36 “Impairment of Assets”. According to the result of the assessment, there is no impairment indication identified as the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit which contain the goodwill, estimated based on value in use, using discounted cash flow method is higher than the carrying amount as at 30 June 2010. As a result, there is no impairment in respect of the goodwill with an assumed carrying value of HK$275,076,000.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

APPENDIX IV

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ON THE PRC SUBSIDIARY

Set out below is the management discussion and analysis on the PRC Subsidiary.

Business Review

The PRC Subsidiary is a company with limited liability incorporated in the PRC on 26 March 2002 with a registered capital of RMB135 million which has been fully paid. The principal activities of the PRC Subsidiary are design, manufacturing and sale of LED encapsulation and semi-conductor lighting related products. The PRC Subsidiary owns its factory, which is located at the new technology development special economy zone in Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province, the PRC.

Financial Results

Since LED industry is one of the fast growing industries which is supported by governments worldwide (as detailed in the section under “Reasons for the Acquisition” in the Board Letter from page 33 to 36) as well as the business sector, turnovers of the PRC Subsidiary appeared steady for the period from 2007 to 2009. Although the global financial crisis in the late 2008 hit the global economy badly, turnovers of the PRC Subsidiary were barely affected. Yet, with the expansionary monetary policies introduced by worldwide governments in the second half of 2009 (i.e. the quantitative easing carried out by the US Government as well as other countries in the world), the demand of electronic equipments and devices increased rapidly. Benefited from the booming demand in Korean and overseas market, turnovers in 2010 are expected to double as compared to 2009.

For the three years ended 31 December 2007, 2008, 2009 and for the ten months ended 31 October 2010, the PRC Subsidiary recorded turnover of approximately RMB98,943,000, RMB109,540,000, RMB97,135,000 and RMB170,762,000 respectively and cost of sales of approximately RMB80,394,000, RMB95,706,000, RMB77,772,000 and RMB121,114,000 respectively. Accordingly, the PRC Subsidiary recorded gross profit of approximately RMB18,549,000, RMB13,834,000, RMB19,363,000 and RMB49,648,000 for the three years ended 31 December 2007, 2008, 2009 and for the ten months ended 31 October 2010 respectively. Thus the gross profit margin was approximately 18.75%, 12.63%, 19.93% and 29.07% for the three years ended 31 December 2007, 2008, 2009 and for the ten months ended 31 October 2010 respectively.

For the three years ended 31 December 2007, 2008, 2009 and for the ten months ended 31 October 2010, the PRC Subsidiary recorded profit/(loss) before taxation of approximately RMB2,479,000, RMB(5,321,000), RMB(5,664,000) and RMB29,103,000, while the profit/(loss) after taxation amounted to approximately RMB2,046,000, RMB(5,562,000), RMB(5,765,000) and RMB24,818,000 respectively.

Due to the incident caused by the Ex-Director, the historical financial performance of the PRC Subsidiary for the Periods, including gross profits as well as net profits, has been adversely affected. However, after the establishment of the Internal Control System and the removal of the Ex-Director since May 2009, the financial performance of the PRC Subsidiary for the ten months ended 31 October 2010 has been improved.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

APPENDIX IV

Capital Structure, Liquidity, Financial Resources and Gearing Ratio

In 2008 and 2009, the PRC Subsidiary’s registered capital increased from RMB110,951,000 to RMB134,920,000 and from RMB134,920,000 to RMB135,000,000 as a result of capital injections. Save as disclosed above, there was no increase in the registered capital of the PRC Subsidiary for the three years ended 31 December 2007, 2008, 2009 and for the ten months ended 31 October 2010.

As at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 and 31 October 2010, the PRC Subsidiary had trade and other payables of approximately RMB49,534,000, RMB44,837,000, RMB54,166,000 and RMB64,746,000 respectively and total bank borrowings of approximately RMB45,000,000, RMB47,000,000, RMB38,000,000 and RMB42,014,000 respectively, while total liabilities were approximately RMB94,538,000, RMB92,096,000, RMB92,260,000 and RMB109,020,000 respectively. The increase in total liabilities is mainly caused by the increase in trade payables in respond to the increase in sales demand.

As at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 and 31 October 2010, the PRC Subsidiary had bank balances and cash on hand of approximately RMB35,518,000, RMB16,741,000, RMB9,038,000 and RMB8,438,000 respectively and pledged bank deposits of approximately RMB1,920,000, nil, RMB4,539,000 and RMB9,310,000 respectively. The declining bank balances is due to increasing investment in production facilities and working capital (i.e. inventory), in response to increasing in market demand.

The PRC Subsidiary’s principal sources of working capital during the three years ended 31 December 2007, 2008, 2009 and the ten months ended 31 October 2010 were steady and collections from customers, financing to suppliers, funds from shareholders and bank financing. As at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 and 31 October 2010, the PRC Subsidiary’s current ratio, expressed as a ratio of total current assets over total current liabilities, was approximately 1.45, 1.06, 1.00 and 1.22 respectively. Due to accumulated impairment on account receivables of approximately RMB1,808,000 in connection with the sales handled by the Ex-Director as explained above and accumulated impairment on inventories of approximately RMB7,019,000 in relation to general obsolete items, the historical current ratio decreased from 2007 to 2009. However, the said ratio recovered as at 31 October 2010 because of the removal of the Ex-Director and the effort by the new management to turnaround the loss making position of the PRC Subsidiary for the ten months ended 31 October 2010.

As at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 and 31 October 2010, the PRC Subsidiary’s gearing ratio, expressed as a percentage of total liabilities over total equity, was approximately 79.63%, 67.45%, 70.51% and 70.04% respectively.

Capital Commitments

As at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 and 31 October 2010, the PRC Subsidiary had capital commitments of approximately RMB480,000, RMB200,000, nil and RMB10,204,000 respectively, in respect of the purchase of production equipments and expansion of current production lines.

APPENDIX IV

Contingent Liabilities

The significant increase in pledged assets in 2009 and 2010 was mainly due to a new general banking facility granted to the PRC Subsidiary in supporting the growth of the business.

Treasury Policy

For the three years ended 31 December 2007, 2008, 2009 and for the ten months ended 31 October 2010, the PRC Subsidiary had no formal treasury policy.

Currency and Interest Rate Structure

The PRC Subsidiary mainly operates in the PRC with most of the transactions, including borrowing, denominated and settled in RMB. For the years ended 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 and the ten months ended 31 October 2010, the PRC Subsidiary was exposed to currency risk primarily through sales, purchases, and cash and bank deposits that were denominated in US Dollar and HKD. The PRC Subsidiary did not enter any financial agreement to hedge against the foreign currency risk. The PRC Subsidiary will suffer from the risks of fluctuation of RMB/the United States Dollar or RMB/ Hong Kong Dollar exchange rates, which may have an adverse effect on the current/future position of the Target Group.

The PRC Subsidiary had limited exposure to interest rate fluctuation as most of its borrowings were mainly conducted in RMB and the interest rates of RMB were relatively stable for the three years ended 31 December 2007, 2008, 2009 and for the ten months ended 31 October 2010.

Segment Information

For the three years ended 31 December 2007, 2008, 2009 and for the ten months ended 31 October 2010, the PRC Subsidiary’s major products included (1) LED Components, (2) Display Devices, (3) Surface Mount Devices and (4) Other LED Products.

LED Components include traditional LED products, such as through-hole LED and LED piranha. The products are widely used for illumination and decoration purposes because of its high flux output and low power consumption. For the three years ended 31 December 2007, 2008, 2009 and for the ten months ended 31 October 2010, this segment’s turnover were RMB53,965,000, RMB40,596,000, RMB30,017,000 and RMB49,802,000 respectively. Because of relatively lower technical requirements and keener competition in the market, lower profit margin is observed. The decreasing sale volume in LED Components segment represents change of focus of the PRC Subsidiary to other segments with highly profit margin.

APPENDIX IV

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Display Devices include LED display products, such as numeric display, character and graphic display. The products are widely used in the game units, small electronics and traffic signs for display purposes. For the three years ended 31 December 2007, 2008, 2009 and for the ten months ended 31 October 2010, this segment’s turnover were RMB31,345,000, RMB22,322,000, RMB23,815,000 and RMB34,589,000 respectively. Since the demand of Display Devices products were gradually replaced by more innovative products such as Surface Mount Devices, decreasing turnover from this segment is observed.

Surface Mount Device includes chip LED and top LED, which are used in backlighting of the electronic equipments. Surface Mount Devices had smaller size and lower power consumption and therefore were ideal lighting sources for miniature applications. Because of growing market demand in electronic devices such as mobile phones, turnover contributed by Surface Mount Device segment increased throughout the Relevant Periods. For the three years ended 31 December 2007, 2008, 2009 and for the ten months ended 31 October 2010, this segment’s turnover was RMB13,633,000, RMB33,315,000, RMB33,020,000 and RMB70,975,000 respectively.
