CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

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

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

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Consideration

The Consideration of HK$292,000,000 (subject to the Consideration Adjustment) shall be settled in the following manners:

  • (i) HK$31,200,000 refundable Deposit has been paid to the Vendor by the Purchaser within seven Business Days after the signing of the Agreement;

  • (ii) as to HK$31,200,000 by payment of cash to the Vendor by the Purchaser (or its nominee(s)) upon Completion;

  • (iii) as to HK$66,500,000 by issue of 133,000,000 Consideration Shares at the Issue Price of HK$0.5 per Share to the Vendor (or its nominee(s)) by the Company upon Completion;

  • (iv) as to HK$113,100,000 by issue of the Tranche I Convertible Bonds in the principal amount of HK$113,100,000 with the Conversion Price of HK$0.5 per Conversion Share to the Vendor (or its nominee(s)) by the Company upon Completion; and

  • (v) as to HK$50,000,000 by issue of the Tranche II Convertible Bonds in the principal amount of HK$50,000,000 with the Conversion Price of HK$0.5 per Conversion Share to the Vendor (or its nominee(s)) by the Company upon Completion. The Tranche II Convertible Bonds shall be held under escrow pursuant to an escrow agent agreement to be executed by the Purchaser, the escrow agent and the Vendor for the purpose of effectuating the Consideration Adjustment. Further details are set out in the paragraph headed “Consideration Adjustment” below in this circular.

The Deposit is determined under arm’s length negotiations basis between the Vendor and the Purchaser after reviewing the initial cash deposit to total consideration ratio ranging from 5% to 20% of the acquisitions announced by listed companies in GEM from 1 October 2010 to 13 December 2010 (i.e. the date of the Agreement). Since placing the Deposit in an escrow agent will involve extra cost, the Directors did not consider as necessary because the Deposit is refundable in nature. The terms and conditions set out in the Agreement are legally binding and should the Agreement be terminated, the Vendor shall refund the Deposit to the Purchaser or the Company in accordance to the Agreement. The major risk involved is default risk, however in view of (i) the background of the Guarantor, Mr. Chiu, who is the deputy chairman of Gansu Province Federation of Industry and Commerce (甘肅省工 商聯合會副主席) and a member of the Gansu Province People’s Political Consultative Conference in Hong Kong and Macau (甘肅省政協港澳委員); and (ii) the net asset value of approximately HK$19.87 million of the Target Group as at 31 December 2010, the Directors considered the risk of default is significantly reduced.

The principle terms of the Convertible Bonds are summarized in the section headed “Convertible Bonds” below in this circular.

The Consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Company, the Purchaser and the Vendor, having taken into account of (i) the Target Profit; (ii) the Consideration Adjustment; (iii) confirmed engagements at an amount of approximately HK$302 million of the system

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

To the best knowledge of the Board, no listed company in Hong Kong is solely engaged in the business combination of solar energy generation and related power system integration. Therefore, the Board identified certain comparables with engineering, procurement and construction; business related to the development of solar energy; and business related to the development of other new energy.

In view that (i) the solar energy business is a new industry in the PRC and may only have a limited number of listed enterprises which have engaged in the exact same business as the Target Company in the PRC; (ii) the Comparable Companies have the same principal business location as the Target Company, the PRC; and (iii) the Comparable Companies are all involved in renewable electricity generation business, and taking into account the advice from valuer in respect of the appropriateness of the comparable companies used in the valuation report, we consider the Comparable Companies have been used for comparison purpose after due and careful enquiry by the Company.

Based on the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Agreement including the Consideration are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

In addition, the Consideration was also determined with reference to the obligation of the Group to pay the outstanding registered capital of the PRC Subsidiary of the Target Group. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the registered capital of the PRC Subsidiary is in the amount of US$9,000,000, of which US$3,000,950 had been paid up, whilst the remaining sum of US$5,999,050 shall be paid up within 36 months from the date of the issue of its business license, i.e. by 29 July 2012. As such, the Group shall be assumed to pay the outstanding registered capital of the PRC Subsidiary of the Target Group in the amount of US$5,999,050 after Completion. The Enlarged Group shall settle the payment for the outstanding registered capital of the PRC Subsidiary by internal resources and/or capital/debt financing.

Consideration Shares

The Consideration Shares represent (i) approximately 18.04% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date; (ii) approximately 15.28% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the Consideration Shares; and (iii) approximately 11.12% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the Consideration Shares and Conversion Shares upon the conversion right attaching to the Convertible Bonds being exercised in full. The Consideration Shares, when allotted and issued shall rank pari passu in all respects with all other Shares in issue on the date of allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares including the right to all dividends, distributions and other payments made or to be made, the record date for which falls on or after the date of such allotment and issue. The 133,000,000 Consideration Shares of HK$0.10 each represent an aggregate nominal value of HK$13,300,000.

The adjusted principal amount of the Tranche II Convertible Bonds

=
the original principal amount HK$50,000,000 of
the Tranche II Convertible Bonds
x
actual netprofit
Target Profit of
HK$30,000,000

The Consideration Adjustment was determined under arm’s length negotiations between the Vendor and the Company and the maximum downward adjustment of HK$50 million is a commercial decision. In view that the PRC Subsidiary has secured business contracts in the business of provision of system integration services for the 12 months ending 31 March 2012 which is expected to generate a total revenue of approximately RMB302 million and such amount would be sufficient to fulfill the Target Profit, the Vendor does not expect Consideration Adjustment to take place and is comfort to provide a maximum downward adjustment which represent approximately 1.67 times of the Target Profit to strengthen the confidence of the Company in respect of the Acquisition.

Upon Completion, the Tranche II Convertible Bonds shall be held under escrow pursuant to an escrow agent agreement to be executed by the Purchaser, the escrow agent and the Vendor for the purpose of effectuating the Consideration Adjustment.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the escrow agreement, the escrow agent will release the Tranche II Convertible Bonds within 7 Business Days after the completion of the audited consolidated accounts of the Target Group for the 12 months ending 31 March 2012. For the avoidance of doubt, save and except for the adjustment mechanism as illustrated above, no additional compensation will be provided by the Vendor to the Purchaser and the Company simply because that the Target Group is unable to achieve the Target Profit or suffers any losses for the 12 months ending 31 March 2012.

Pursuant to the Agreement, there is no particular criteria the Company must be fulfilled before enjoying the Target Profit or Consideration Adjustment. In the event that the Target Profit could not be achieved, the Company can enjoy the Consideration Adjustment on the Tranche II Convertible Bonds. The Vendor agrees to the Consideration Adjustment if the Target Profit could not be achieved regardless of the reasons or causes of failure.

Industry overview and market potential

Same as many countries in the world, the PRC is facing the challenge of serious shortage in energy supply. The PRC has an area of 1,080,000 square kilometres of desert, which is principally distributed at the northwestern region with abundant supply of light resources. If only one tenth of the desert area is deployed to install grid connected solar photovoltaic power generation system, the available capacity will be equivalent to 3.26 times of the national power consumption in the PRC in year 2002, which is also equivalent to 128 units of Three Gorges Power Station.

In recent years, upon the energy crisis and the pressure relating to environmental protection awareness, the PRC government made a series of commitments to the world. Mr. Hu Jintao, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the PRC, committed in the Copenhagen Conference that the consumption of non-fossil fuel in the PRC shall reach 15% by year 2020. In 2009, the PRC government introduced various regulations, namely the Provisional Measures for the Administration of Financial Subsidies Funding in the Architectural Application of Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation, the Notice for the Implementation of Demonstration Works in Gold Solar Power and the Law of Renewable Energy (Amendments), supporting the development of renewable energy including solar energy and biomass energy. Mr. Zhang Xiaochun, the deputy Minister of Finance of the PRC government also stated to the public that the application of solar photovoltaic power in the PRC shall be at least 1,000 MW per annum starting from year 2012. In addition, according to the Medium and Long Term Plan of Renewable Energy as published by the National Development and Reform Commission, renewable energy will account for 10% of total energy consumption by year 2010 and will account for 15% by year 2020. Of which, the installed capacity for biomass power generation will reach 5,500,000 kW by year 2010 and 30,000,000 kW by year 2020. With the commitments and preferential policies made by the PRC government, there were huge room for development for new energy power stations such as solar power and biomass energy.

However, entering into the industry requires specialized experience and expertise and shall go through strict procedures in obtaining governmental approvals. The key participants in the industry are mostly state-owned enterprises. Details of the requirement and procedure have been set out in the subsection headed “Requirements and necessary procedures prior to operation of power generation business” under the section headed “BACKGROUND AND BUSINESS OPERATION OF THE TARGET GROUP” in this circular.

Strategic cooperation agreement

The Target Company entered into strategic cooperation agreement with Shaaxi Province Electric Power Design Institute (陝西省電力設計院) for technical supports on system integration and power station projects for the year 2011 to 2016.

RISK FACTORS AND WEAKNESSES

  • (1) Approvals and consents for implementation of the Target Group’s business of solar power generation may not be obtained and the uncertainty timing for obtaining such approval and permits

As advised by the Company’s PRC lawyers, under the PRC legal regime, the PRC Subsidiary’s business of providing system integration services does not require obtaining any kinds of PRC governmental approvals or licences, whilst the PRC Subsidiary’s business of solar power generation shall be subject to a number of PRC governmental approvals, namely approval from provincial development and reform commission, the ministry of land and resources, the ministry of environment protection, the ministry of construction, the ministry of communication, the administrative department for cultural relics and consents from power corporations for connection of grid. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Target Group has only obtained all necessary governmental approvals for constructing solar photovoltaic power station of 10MW and the power corporation’s consent for connecting the grid in respect thereof at Geermu in Qinghai Province of the PRC, and initial approval from provincial development and reform commission and local land and resources authority for the preparation works of solar photovoltaic power station of 20MW in Delingha, Qinghai Province of the PRC. There is no assurance that the Target Group can obtain all relevant governmental approvals and power companies’ consents for implementing its plan of constructing solar photovoltaic power station of other future projects. Any failure to obtain the necessary governmental approvals or power companies’ consents to implement its business plan of constructing solar photovoltaic power station of other future projects could adversely affect the Target Group’s business growth and profitability in the future.

(2) Memorandums of understanding of system integration projects

Further terms and conditions of the two memorandums of understanding involving 50MW and 100MW solar energy power station system integration projects are yet to be discussed and determined, and subject to the negotiations with the counterparty(ies), the two memorandums of understanding may or may not be formalized by year 2012 as expected.

  • 36 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(3) Funding

Investments in the power stations required a substantial amount of capital investment. There is risk that the Target Group may not be able to raise adequate funds for the development of other future solar photovoltaic power projects. In this regard, the Target Group may consider seeking cooperation opportunities with other market participants in order to share the funding required for those projects and/or seeking for equity and debt financing.

(4) Government policy

The development of the new energy business relies on the supportive policies of the PRC government. Despite the Law of Renewable Energy and the Medium and Long Term Plan for Renewable Energy launched by the PRC government, there is risk that PRC government may revise or suspend such supportive policies which would be a concern for market participants. However, considered the growing alert in devastating consequences of global warming and increasing awareness in environmental protection, exploration of new energy has already become a must across the globe.

(5) Fast technological advancement

The business of system integration of the Target Company involves large amount of equipment and related products required by solar energy, biomass and other energies power generation system. The Target Company shall possess sound knowledge and quick adaption on the corresponding installation technology. Fast technological advancement of these equipment and installation techniques expose the Company to the risk of being unable to catch up with the updated technology of the industry.

The Target Company shall familiarize itself with industry trend characteristics, accumulates technological experience, arrange regular trainings, and catch up with advanced industry technology via its own projects in progress and external system integration projects, so as to lay a more solid foundation for continuous development of electrical power system integration business.

The technologies and products that the Target Group has been adopting may not be as updated as the technologies advance in the rapid development of the solar photovoltaic industry. However, considered that power station is the end of new energy power generation chain, ongoing invention and adoption of new technologies will continue to enhance the competitiveness of power stations. Therefore, the technological advancement will only improve the operation and establishment of power generation business. The Target Group will continue to conduct research and development and pay attention to the development of the technology in the new energy industry in the world in order to enhance the existing technology owned by the Target Group.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(6) Renewable energy resources face competitions from traditional energy sources

The Target Group is competing with companies engaging in provision of traditional energy resources.

There are policies that support the development of new energy. Energy is one of the key fundamentals to the development of the national economy. With the development in the national economy, excess demand for energy increases. Safety of energy and the role of energy in the national economy becomes more prominent. However, PRC is one of the few countries in the world with an energy composition dominating by coal. It is also the country in the world with greatest consumption in coal. Environmental pollution brought by coal burning becomes more significant. As the resources of renewable energy are abundant relative to traditional energy, the development of renewable energy has drawn more attention from the PRC government, which is featured with no pollution or very less pollution. The PRC government introduced a series of policies to facilitate the development of renewable energy, which include the Law of Renewable Energy of the PRC introduced in 2005, the Medium and Long Term Plan for Renewable energy introduced in 2009, the Law of Renewable Energy of the PRC (Amendments) introduced in 2009, the Notice concerning the Implementation of the Demonstration Project of Golden Sun, and the Provisional Measures for the Administration of Financial Subsidies Funding in the Architectural Application of Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation.

The Law of Renewable Energy and the Law of Renewable Energy (Amendment) emphasized the coordination function by the central government and distinctive role for the power grid enterprises and the power corporations. This is beneficial to the orderly development of the entire new energy industry. Under The Law of Renewable Energy and the Law of Renewable Energy (Amendment), a development fund for renewable energy was established, which would be used to support the development of renewable energy industry. Solar energy is regarded as renewable energy and the Target Group, which is principally engaged in solar energy generation and related power system integration business, will be benefitted from the said policy.

The Medium and Long Term Plan for Renewable Energy proposed policies and measures such as the preferential tariff , sharing of costs, funding support and preferential treatment in tax, and the creation of industry service system and policy. This will proactively support the technology development, industry development and application of renewable energy and provide ample room of development for the Target Group.

The Target Company would be able to enjoy funding support by the PRC government through the electricity price, which is set higher than the normal market rate, as approved by the PRC government upon commence of operation. The government subsidies were generally included in the prices of the electricity power sold. The government subsidy for the 10MW project has not been concluded yet. The 10MW project has obtained the opinion regarding the connection to the grid issued by the power corporation of Qinghai Province. As advised by the management of the Target Company, the electricity price of the 10MW project has been submitted to National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC for approval, and is expected to be approved before the operation of the 10MW project, which is in October 2011. The electricity selling price was determined with reference to the Feasibility Report and electricity selling price recently approved by National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Based on the Notice concerning the Implementation of the Demonstration Project of Golden Sun and the Provisional Measures in the Management of Financial Assistance for Demonstration Project of Golden Sun that a combination of financial assistance, technological assistance and market driven initiatives will be adopted to promote the technology development and scale development of the solar photovoltaic power generation industry in the PRC. The implementation of the Notice and the Provisional Measures has been meaningful to the solar photovoltaic power generation industry in the PRC. The Notice and the Provisional Measures are also supportive to the operation of solar energy power generation and the related system integration services by the Target Group.

(7) The PRC government’s control on foreign currency conversion

The PRC government’s control of foreign currency conversion may limit the foreign exchange transaction of the Target Group including dividend payments.

It was provided in the laws and regulations of the PRC government such as Regulations on the Foreign Exchange System of the PRC and Notice of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Issuing the Measures for the Evaluation of Banks’ Implementation of Provisions on Foreign Exchange Administration that the profits, dividends and bonuses of the foreign invested enterprises can be remitted out of the PRC after verification.

(8) PRC taxation

In accordance with the List of Public Infrastructure Projects Enjoying Enterprise Income Tax Preferential (2008), newly constructed solar power generation projects are entitled to the preferential treatment for enterprise income tax of public infrastructure projects, which are exempted for the first three years recording profit and 50% exemption for the next following three years. The revision or termination of such preferential treatment on taxation may adversely affect the profitability of the Target Group.

(9) Reliance on the expert team of the Target Group

The Target Group relies on its expert team to implement the Target Group’s business of solar power generation and providing system integration services. The successful development of the Target Group’s business will rely on the continued dedication of its expert team as referred to in the subsection headed “Professional team of expertise” under the section headed “BACKGROUND AND BUSINESS OPERATION OF THE TARGET GROUP” in this circular. There is no assurance that the Group can retain the members of its existing expert team for their future services, nor the Target Group can ensure that qualified and experienced experts can be found to replace any possible loss of any members of the expert team, which could adversely affect the Target Group’s operations and profitability in the future. To minimize such adverse effect, the Target Group has been maintaining close relationship with electric design institute of Grade A qualification in the PRC so as to obtain the technology support of those parties.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(10) Term of operation of solar photovoltaic power station

According to the feasibility study report issued by Xinjiang Power Design Institute with Grade A design qualification, the project of 10MW solar photovoltaic power station at Geermu may operate for 25 years. Solar photovoltaic power generation is a new business in the PRC and does not have long historical records for reference, as at the Latest Practicable Date, there is no power station that has operated for as long as 25 years. As such, there is no market reference for the operation longevity estimation of the 10MW solar photovoltaic power station of up to 25 years.

(11) Default risk of the refund of Deposit

The Deposit is determined under arm’s length negotiations basis between the Vendor and the Purchaser. The terms and conditions set out in the Agreement are legally binding and should the Agreement be terminated, the Vendor shall refund the Deposit to the Purchaser or the Company in accordance to the Agreement. The major risk involved is default risk. In view of the fact that the Guarantor, Mr. Chiu, is a the deputy chairman of Gansu Province Federation of Industry and Commerce (甘肅省工商聯合會副主席) and a member of the Gansu Province People’s Political Consultative Conference in Hong Kong and Macau (甘肅省政協港澳委員), the Directors considered the risk of default is significantly reduced.

(12) Fluctuation of other economic factors

Between 2008 and 2009, there was serious recession in the global economy. A number of countries, such as Spain, cancelled the subsidy that previously offered to the solar photovoltaic industry which resulted in a fall in the demand from such countries and hence a fall in export from the PRC to such countries for solar photovoltaic power related products, which also resulted in the substantial fall of price in poly-silicon, the raw material for the production of solar photovoltaic units. Consequently, the sales for the products of solar photovoltaic enterprises that are primarily engaged in the production of solar photovoltaic units for exports in the PRC were sluggish. However, despite the losses incurred by the solar power industry between 2008 and 2009, REN Renewables Global Status Report 2010 published by Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century stated that the solar photovoltaic power industry still maintained growth of 53% notwithstanding the occurrence of the financial crisis.

The Law of Renewable Energy (Amendment) published by the PRC government further reiterated the policy support to new energy. A protective acquisition system with guaranteed amount for renewable energy projects was created. As such, the demand for new energy generation (including solar photovoltaic power generation) in the PRC was further ensured. At the same time, the fall in the price of solar photovoltaic units as the primary raw material for the construction of solar photovoltaic power station by the Group would reduce the investment cost and enhancing return of equity in solar photovoltaic power stations.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

FUTURE PLANS

The Target Group will be dedicated to secure further engagement in operation of power station projects. The Target Group intends to set up solar photovoltaic power stations in different phases on a roll over basis depending on the actual condition of review, business development of the Target Group and the approvals by government authorities. And subsequently, increase the scale of grid connected solar power station to the capacity of 1,000MW (1GW) in the long term. The 20MW solar photovoltaic power station of the Target Group at Delingha has completed the preliminary work for the application of the project. At the same time, the Target Group will continue to expand the business in the provision of system integration services, and to seek more business opportunities from related power generation projects such as solar power and biomass energy.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

The Target Group has recorded net loss before and after tax of approximately HK$2,993,000 and HK$2,995,000 respectively for the year ended 31 December 2010 and net loss before and after tax both of approximately HK$1,265,000 for the period from the date of incorporation of 9 January 2009 to 31 December 2009. As at 31 December 2010, the Target Group has a net asset value of approximately HK$19,873,000.

REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION

The Group specializes in the provision of implementation and upgrading of self-service automatic teller machine systems, banking and other related equipment, application hardware and software, technical support and consultancy services to commercial banks and postal bureaus in the PRC.

According to the Renewables 2010 Global Status Report published by Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century, solar energy is the fastest growing power generation technology in the world. Between year 2004 and year 2009, solar energy plants for the grid were growing at an annual average rate of 60 per cent. In year 2009, approximately 7GW of capacity for the grid was added, representing an increase of 53 per cent. from that of last year and reached 21GW. Cumulative global installations of solar energy device are now nearly six times what they were at the end of 2004. Analysts even expect the growth rate would continue to rise in the coming four to five years.

Since 1980s, the PRC government has been supportive in the application of solar energy for demonstrative purposes. In year 2002, PRC National Development and Planning Commission launched a number of proposals aiming to solve energy supplies through the application of solar energy and small scales of wind farms systems. The relevant proposals made direct positive impacts in solar energy industry by stimulating the establishments of production lines and volume of solar battery production. The project “supplying electricity to rural areas” in year 2002-2003 had made installation of approximately 19,000 KW solar batteries. By the end of year 2005, the aggregate PRC national capacity of solar energy was approximately 70,000 KW, of which was primarily electricity supply to residences in rural areas. The PRC solar energy industry has been going through continuous development since year 2006, the volume of solar battery production was approximately 9,300MW in year 2009, accounting for more than 40% of the global volume of production. The PRC has become the first largest producer of solar battery.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

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 all equity investments are measured at fair value. The application of HKFRS 9 might affect the classification and measurement of the Target Group’s financial assets.

The director of the Target Company anticipates that the application of the new and revised standards, amendments or interpretations will have no material impact on the results and the financial position of the Target Group.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the Relevant Periods presented in this Financial Information.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies of the Target Group are materially consistent with the Company’s accounting policies. The measurement basis used in the preparation of the Financial Information is historical cost convention except for certain financial assets and financial liabilities have been carried at fair value.

The presentation of the Financial Information in conformity with HKFRSs requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

(a) Basis of preparation

In preparing the Financial Information, the director of the Target Company has given careful consideration to the future liquidity of the Target Group in the light of that the Target Group had net current liabilities of HK$1,179,000 as at 31 December 2010. The director of the Target Company has been taking steps to improve the liquidity of the Target Group. In addition, the shareholder of the Target Company was agreed to provide continuing financial support to the Target Group. As such, the director is satisfied that the Target Group will be able to meet in full its financial obligation as they fall due in the forseeable future. Accordingly, the Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis.

(b) Basis of consolidation

The Financial Information incorporate the financial statements of the Target Company and entities (including special purpose entities) controlled by the Target Company (its subsidiary). Control is achieved where the Target Company 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 are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

  • 60 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

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 Target Group.

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

(c) Revenue recognition

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

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized on the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the time when the goods are delivered to customers and title has passed.

Interest income from financial assets is accrued on a time 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 on the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

(d) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment, comprising furniture, fixtures and office equipment, and motor vehicles, are stated as cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the item of property, plant and equipment to its working condition and location for its intended use.

Expenditure incurred after items of property, plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, is normally charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the period in which it is incurred. In situation where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the property, plant and equipment, the expenditure is capitalized as an additional cost of that item of property, plant and equipment.

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated at rates sufficient to write off their cost less accumulated impairment losses over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The principal annual rates are as follows:

Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 20% Motor vehicles 20%

At the end of each reporting period, both internal and external sources of information are considered to assess whether there is any indication that items included in property, plant and equipment are impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the item of property, plant and equipment is estimated and where relevant, an impairment loss is recognized to reduce the item of property, plant and equipment to its recoverable amount.

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 statement of comprehensive income in the year in which the item is derecognised.

  • 61 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

(e) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and short term highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of consolidated statement of financial position, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and at bank, including term deposits, which are not restricted as to use.

(f) Contingent liabilities and contingent assets

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Target Group. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised because it is not probable that outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably.

A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the Financial Information. When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that the outflow is probable, it will then be recognised as a provision.

A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain events not wholly within the control of the Target Group. Contingent assets are not recognized but are disclosed in the notes to the Financial Information when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. When inflow is virtually certain, an asset is recognised.

(g) Taxation

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. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Target 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 temporary 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 recognized 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 recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Target Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each 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.

  • 62 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when 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 Target Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is recognized in profit or loss, except when it related to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

(h) 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 each 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 rate prevailing at the date when 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 translation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except for exchange differences arising on a monetary item that forms part of the Target Group’s net investment in a foreign operation, in which case, such exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income in the Financial Information and will be reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal of the foreign operation. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period except for differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, in which cases, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income.

For the purposes of presenting the Financial Information, the assets and liabilities of the Target Group’s foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Target Company (i.e. Hong Kong dollars) at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period, and their income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the year, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during the period, in which case, the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity (the translation reserve).

(i) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position when the group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 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 (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

  • 63 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

Financial assets

The financial assets of the Target Group are mainly loans and receivables. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized 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 marketplace.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including other receivables, and bank balances and cash) are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each 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 financial assets have been affected.

For all other financial asset, 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 becoming probable that the borrowing will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganization.

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

For financial assets carried at cost, 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.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, an impairment loss is recognized in profit and loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the assets’ carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. When advances and receivables are considered to be uncollectible, the amounts are written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to profit or loss.

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 were recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent the carrying amount of the financial asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.

  • 64 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

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 Target Group after deducting all of its liabilities. The Target Group’s financial liabilities are generally classified as other financial liabilities.

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities including other payables and accruals, and other loan are subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method.

Derecognition

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

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit and loss.

(j) Related parties

A party is considered to be related to the Target Group if:

  • (i) directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, the party:

  • controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Target Company or Target Group;

  • has an interest in the Target Company that gives it significant influence over the Target Company or Target Group; or

  • has joint control over the Target Company or Target Group;

  • (ii) the party is an associate;

  • (iii) the party is a jointly-controlled entity;

  • (iv) the party is a member of the key management personnel of the Target Company or its parent;

  • (v) the party is a close member of the family of any individual referred to in (i) or (iv);

  • 65 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

(vi) the party is an entity that is controlled, jointly controlled or significantly influenced by or for which significant voting power in such entity resides with, directly or indirectly, any individual referred to in (iv) or (v); or

  • (vii) the party is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of the Target Company or Target Group, or of any entity that is a related party of the Target Company or Target Group.

(k) Deferred revenue

Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Target Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.

Government grants are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Target Group recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Target Group’s accounting policies, which are disclosed in Note 3, the director of the Target Company is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The following is the key assumption concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end 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.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, after taking into account of their estimated residual value. The determination of the useful lives and residual values involve management’s estimation. The Target Group assesses annually the residual value and the useful life of the property, plant and equipment and if the expectation differs from the original estimate, such a difference may impact the depreciation in the year and the estimate will be changed in the future period.

5. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The director manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Target Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to owners through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Target Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from prior year.

The capital structure of the Target Group consists of debt, which includes cash and cash equivalents, other loan and equity attributable to owner of the Target Company, comprising issued share capital.

The director of the Target Company reviews the capital structure periodically. As part of this review, the director considers the cost of capital and the risks associates with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the director, the Target Group will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends, new share issues as well as the issue of new debt or the redemption of existing debts.

  • 66 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

6. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Target Group’s principal financial instruments are to raise finance for the Target Group’s operations.

The Target Group has various other financial instruments such as other receivables, bank balances and cash, other payables and accruals and other loan which arise directly from its operations.

The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

Credit risk

The Target Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its’ other receivables and bank balances.

At the end of each reporting period, the Target Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Target Group due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties arising from the carrying amount of the respective recognised financial assets stated in the consolidated statement of financial position.

In order to minimise the credit risk, the management of the Target Group has delegated a team responsible for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Target Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of each reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the director of the Target Company considers that the Target Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.

The Target Group has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large number of counterparties.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are authorised banks of good standing.

Foreign currency risk

The Target Group operates and conducts business in the PRC and all the Target Group’s transactions, assets and liabilities are primarily denominated in HK$, Renminbi (“RMB”) and United States dollars (“USD”), which expose Target Group to foreign currency risk.

The Target Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy. However, the management monitors foreign exchange exposure and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arises.

Sensitivity analysis

The following table details the Target Group’s sensitivity to a 5% (31 December 2009: 5%) increase and decrease in RMB and USD against the functional currency of the relevant group entities. 5% (31 December 2009: 5%) is the sensitivity rate used that represents management’s 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 at the reporting date for a 5% (31 December 2009: 5%) change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in post-tax loss for the year where relevant currencies strengthen 5% (31 December 2009: 5%) against the functional currency of the relevant group entities.

Interest rate risk

The Target Group’s interest rate risk arises from interest-bearing borrowing. Borrowing issued at fixed rate expose the Target Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Target Group currently does not use any derivative contracts to hedge its exposure to interest rate risk.

However, the management will consider hedging significant interest rate exposure should the need arise.

The Target Group considers that there is no significant cash flow interest rate risk as the Target Group does not have variable rate borrowings.

Fair value

The fair value of the Target Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis or using prices from observable current market transactions.

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

The Target Group’s financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.

  • Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

  • Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

  • Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market date (unobservable inputs).

  • 69 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

No analysis is disclosed since the Target Group has no financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value at the end of the reporting period.

2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Business environment

The Target Company was established at the times of booming development of the renewable energy industry in the PRC. On 22 September 2009, Hu Jintao (“President Hu”), the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the PRC, addressed at the opening ceremony of the Climate Change Summit of the United Nation with a statement “Addressing Climate Challenge”. President Hu proposed several targets in tackling the global climate challenge, including the expectation that non-fossil energy shall contributed to 15% of the aggregate oneoff energy consumption by year 2020.

During the year 2010, the growth in demand for electricity in the PRC tended to be rapid. In tackling the environmental issues resulting from global warming and emission of greenhouse gas, the PRC government continued to promote the development of renewable energy and formulate more aggressive policies in the revitalization plan for renewable energy in the PRC. Encouraging by the government policies through the Implementation of the Demonstration works in Gold Solar Power, Provisional Measures for the Administration of Financial Subsidies Funding in the Architectural Application of Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation and Promotion of the Scale of Economies for Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation in China, more investments were diverted to promote the development of solar photovoltaic power stations. During the year 2009, the National People’s Congress had approved some amendments in the Law of Renewable Energy and clarified the policies and development goals for solar photovoltaic energy in the PRC. On 13 May 2010, the State Council promulgated Several Opinions on Encouraging and Guiding the Healthy Development of Private Investment. As such, private equities were encouraged to invest in the construction of power facilities and new energy such as solar energy and wind power.

Business development

The Target Company is devoted to solar energy generation and the related power system integration business, as well as ongoing exploration of related businesses in the industry chain. The new businesses include the design, purchase and contracting of power stations for integrated management of power station projects. Since the establishment of the Target Company, the management has been constantly conducting in-depth on-site inspections at Qinghai Province in order to obtain better understanding and consider the appropriateness on the business development at the area.

On 2 March 2010, the Target Group entered into an investment agreement for the construction of a large grid connected solar photovoltaic power station of 200MW in the desert at Geermu by the Target Group with Geermu Development and Reform Commission. On December 2010, the Target Group further entered into an investment agreement for the construction of grid connected solar photovoltaic power station of 100MW in Delingha with Delingha Economic and Development Reform Commission. It was agreed that the Target Group will implement the projects in different phases on a rollover basis and construct a large solar photovoltaic power station of 200MW and 100MW at the Geermu region and Delingha region respectively.

The Directors, Soluteck Holdings limited Room 1104, SUP Tower 75 King’s Road North Point Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

inStruCtionS

We refer to the instructions from Soluteck Holdings Limited (referred to as the “Company”) for us to provide our opinion on the market value of a 100% equity interest in China Technology Solar Power Holdings Limited (referred to as “China Solar Power”) (excluding the system integration business) as at 31 December 2010 (referred to as the “date of valuation”).

This report describes the background of China Solar Power, an industry overview, the basis of valuation and valuation assumptions. It also explains the valuation methodology utilized and presents our conclusion of value.

BASiS oF vAluAtion

This valuation has been carried out on the basis of market value. Market value is defined as “the estimated amount for which an asset should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.

BACKGround oF CHinA SolAr poWer

China Solar Power was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (the “BVI”) in January 2009 with limited liabilities. The principal activity of China Solar Power is investment holding. Its only subsidiary is 青海百科光電有限責任公司, in which the principal businesses include (i) the investment, construction and operation of a solar power plant located in Qinghai Province, the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”); and (ii) system integration services (excluded in the valuation).

At the initial stage, the solar power plant will have a capacity of 10Mega-Watt (MW). The valuation has been prepared based on the scale of 10MW. According to the feasibility report (referred to as the “Feasibility Report”) issued by Xinjiang Electric Power Design Institute (新疆電力設計院) (referred to as the “Technical Consultant”) in October 2010, the total capital expenditure of the 10MW solar power plant is approximately RMB142.51 million. The Technical Consultant has a 《工程咨詢單位資格證 書》 (“Engineering Consulting Service Qualification Certificate”) issued by National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC. Upon the completion of construction of the 10MW solar power plant, the annual electric power production will be approximately 17,488,200 kilowatt-hour (KWh).

induStrY overvieW

A reliable supply of energy is essential to maintain and to improve human being’s living conditions. Because of the limited reserves of primary energy in the globe, many countries are worrying about the surging in cost of energy production and, ultimately, energy crisis. While the United States consumed most energy, with about 25% of world’s energy consumption, the PRC’s energy consumption growth is the greatest which was about 5.5% per year over the last 25 years and its growth is expected to continue. In the long run, it is critical for the PRC to develop stable energy sources. Compared to the conventional coal-fired approach, renewable energy helps to mitigate the impacts of greenhouse gas emissions to a large extent. In view of the potential risk of mainly relying on primary energy, the PRC has been actively developing renewable energy which is more environmental friendly and unlimited. One of the major renewable energies is solar energy.

With abundant land and sufficient sunlight, the PRC has the conditions to develop large-scale solar power stations. However, up to 2008, the electricity generated with solar power in the PRC was comparatively small. The solar power capacity attached to the national grid was under 100MW, which is merely 0.01% of the nation’s power generation capacity and the newly added solar capacities in 2008 and 2007 were 50MW and 20MW respectively. These figures show that the development of solar power stations in the PRC is still in the start-up level. Huge amount of capital and the associated risks of investment in solar power stations can account for the low weighting in energy production. Without government support, the investment is hardly to be successful. Nevertheless, the low weighting reflects there is still a huge potential of development in solar energy industry.

In fact, the PRC has constructed a comprehensive plan to develop renewable energy. According to the plan unveiled by National Development and Reform Commission, the target of future country’s installed solar capacity will grow to 1,800MW in 2020. This long-term target has revealed the government vision on the development of solar energy. In addition, after the global financial crisis,

  • 88 -

vAluAtion report

Appendix iv

the costs of raw material and the essential parts for solar energy, such as photovoltaic system, are much lower. At the same time, the Chinese government provides financial support, such as subsidy on building infrastructure and tax allowance to stimulate the development in renewable energy, which greatly reduces the required capital for investment in solar power stations and the associated risks. All these factors together serve as a good investment opportunity in the solar power industry.

Major participants in the industry are mostly state-owned enterprises. However, China Solar Power has entered into investment agreements with local government and obtained relevant approvals regarding the 10MW project, therefore, the competition in the 10MW project is negligible.

SourCe oF inForMAtion

For the purpose of our valuation, we were furnished with the financial and operational information in respect of China Solar Power (including the Feasibility Report), which were provided by the senior management of China Solar Power. The valuation required the consideration of all pertinent factors, including the following:

  • The business nature of China Solar Power including the industry sector and the geographical location in which China Solar Power currently operates or will operate;

  • The financial and operational information in respect of China Solar Power provided by the senior management of China Solar Power;

  • The specific economic environment and competition for the market in which China Solar Power currently operates or will operate;

  • The Feasibility Report issued by the Technical Consultant, including:

  • the annual solar power generation capacity

  • the solar power selling price

  • the capital expenditure

  • the future operating expenses

  • the operating life of the solar power plant

  • The relevant approvals, licenses that have been already obtained by China Solar Power; and

  • The financial and business risks that will materially affect the business operation of China Solar Power. The potential financial risk of China Solar Power is to finance the capital expenditure of the solar power plant. The capital expenditure for the solar power plant is financed 30% by equity and 70% by bank borrowings as stated in the Feasibility Report. The potential business risk is the uncertainty of the electricity price that would be approved by the government.

the valuation Approaches

Three generally accepted valuation approaches have been considered in the valuation. They are the cost approach, the market approach and the income approach.

The cost approach provides an indication of value based on the principle that an informed buyer would pay no more than the cost of producing a substitute asset with equal utility as the subject asset.

The market approach provides an indication of value by comparing the subject asset to similar businesses, business ownership interests or securities that have been sold in the market, with appropriate adjustments for the differences between the subject asset and the comparable assets.

The income approach provides an indication of value based on the principle that an informed buyer would pay no more than the present value of anticipated future economic benefits generated by the subject asset.

The income approach was considered to be the most appropriate valuation approach in this valuation, as it takes the future growth potential and company-specific issues of China Solar Power into consideration.

  • 91 -

vAluAtion report

Appendix iv

Under the income approach, the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method was adopted. In applying the DCF method, the free cash flows for each year in the future were determined. The results were then discounted using a discount rate, or the cost of capital, to determine the present value of the expected cash flows. The free cash flows for each year were computed using the following formula:

FCF = NI + NCE + Int (1 – Tint) – NCI – InvFA – InvWC

Where:

Where:
FCF = free cash flow
NI = net income
NCE = non-cash expenses
Int = interest expense
Tint = tax rate applied to interest expense
NCI = non-cash incomes
InvFA = investment in capital expenditure
InvWC = investment in net working capital

The free cash flows were calculated with reference to the Feasibility Report. The revenues were determined by multiplying the price by the annual power selling amount. The annual power generation volume is approximately 17.5 million KWh at the beginning and will decrease by 0.95% in each subsequent year. As advised by the Technical Consultant, the beginning annual power generation of 17.5 million KWh was calculated based on the following parameters: (i) the standard annual sunshine hours in Geermu area of 2,210 hours, (ii) the installed capacity of 10.0736 MWp (megawatt peak, unit of maximum output capacity). Moreover, the adoption of the annual decreasing factor of 0.95% is a general practice.

The solar power plant has an operating life of 25 years, which is based on the useful life of amorphous silicon applied in the solar power plant as stated in the Feasibility Report. As advised by the Technical Consultant, the estimated 25-year operating life of the power plant was determined with reference to the warranty period of 25 years of the power generation module.

The unit price of the electricity adopted is RMB1.15 per KWh, which was determined with reference to (i) the Feasibility Report, (ii) electricity selling price recently approved by National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC. The annual repair and maintenance costs are increasing from approximately RMB0.14 million to RMB0.29 million during the operating period.

The expenses and taxes were determined with reference to the Feasibility Report. Details of the major expenses are as follows:

expenses Annual rate
a) Repair and Maintenance RMB140,000
b) Material RMB140,000 – 170,000
c) Salaries and Welfare RMB560,000
d) Insurance 0.18% of construction costs
e) Depreciation Approximately RMB6.7 million
f) Other Expenses RMB170,000 – 210,000
  • 92 -

vAluAtion report

Appendix iv

As stated in the Feasibility Report, the operating expenses were determined by the following parameters: (i) 10 operating and administrative staff, (ii) average annual salary of RMB36,000, (iii) staff welfare of 40% of salary, (iv) depreciation life of the power generation module of 20 years.

Inflation of 3% each year was considered when we determine the future operating expenses. As suggested by the Feasibility Report, China Solar Power is eligible for apply the tax benefit, where for the first three of operation, there will be no profit tax, the profit tax rate will be 12.5% for the next three years, and 25% for the subsequent years.

When calculating the free cash flows, all capital expenditures that are expected to incur during the construction of the solar power plant were deducted. The capital expenditures were determined with reference to the Feasibility Report, which considered the purchase cost, installation cost and other relevant expenditures. The expected future capital expenditures is approximately RMB121 million.

The increases in working capital which were considered as cash outflow are also deducted. The working capital in each year is estimated as a constant ratio to sales figure, which is ranging from RMB0.229 million to RMB0.946 million. As the sales vary in each year, the estimated required working capital varies as well.

the Comparable Companies

The market value of China Solar Power (excluding the system integration business) was determined with reference to the financial and operational information of publicly listed companies that are considered to be comparable to China Solar Power (referred to as the “Comparable Companies”). Details of the Comparable Companies are as follows:

name of Company Bloomberg ticker
1. Sichuan Guangan AAA Public Co., Ltd. 600979
2. Sichuan Xichang Electric Power Limited 600505
3. China Yangtze Power Company Ltd. 600900

9. Sichuan Minjiang Hydropower Co., Ltd. 600131
10. Yunnan Wenshan Electric Power Co., Ltd. 600995

vAluAtion report

Appendix iv

The above Comparable Companies are selected based on the following criteria:

  • (i) the companies’ principal businesses were located in the PRC;

  • (ii) the companies were principally engaged in the renewable electricity generation business; and

  • (iii) The financial information of the companies is publicly available.

the discount rate

The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) was adopted as the discount rate for the valuation. It is calculated by multiplying the cost of each source of capital by its proportional weight. The WACC was computed using the following formula:

WACC = Re (E/V) + Rd (D/V) (1 – Tc)

Where:
WACC = weighted average cost of capital
Re = cost of equity
Rd = cost of debt
E = value of equity
D = value of debt
V = sum of values of equity and debt
Tc = corporate tax rate

The WACC comprises two components: the cost of equity and the cost of debt. The cost of equity was determined using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). The CAPM indicates the relationship between risk and expected return that investors require additional return to compensate for the additional risk assumed. The CAPM was computed using the following formula:

Re = Rf + ß * MRP

Where:

Re = cost of equity R = risk-free rate f ß = beta coefficient MRP = market risk premium

The yield rate of the 10-year Central Government Bond of the PRC of 3.91%, as extracted from Bloomberg, which is generally adopted as the long term risk free rate for the valuation of business with long projected life was adopted as the risk-free rate in the valuation.

The market risk premium represents the additional return required by an investor as compensation for investing in equities rather than a risk-free instrument. In the valuation, the market risk premium of the PRC of 7.39% was determined by the market risk premium of the United States and the country risk premium of the PRC.

  • 94 -

vAluAtion report

Appendix iv

The beta coefficient measures the risk of an asset relative to the overall market. In the valuation, the beta coefficient for China Solar Power was determined as the average of the betas of the Comparable Companies, with adjustment for differences in corporate tax rates and leverage compositions.

To determine the beta coefficient of China Solar Power, the unlevered beta was calculated by removing the effects of the use of leverage on the capital structure of China Solar Power and the Comparable Companies. The unlevered betas of the Comparable Companies are as follows:

Comparable Company
1.
Sichuan Guangan AAA Public Co., Ltd.
2.
Sichuan Xichang Electric Power Limited
3.
China Yangtze Power Company Ltd.
4.
Chongqing Three Gorges Water Conservancy and
Electric Power Co., Ltd.
5.
Guangdong Baolihua New Energy Stock Co., Ltd.
6.
Guangxi Guiguan Electric Power Co., Ltd
7.
Leshan Electric Power Co., Ltd.
8.
Guangxi Guidong Electric Power Co., Ltd.
9.
Sichuan Minjiang Hydropower Co., Ltd.
10.
Yunnan Wenshan Electric Power Co., Ltd.
Average of the unlevered Betas:
unlevered Beta
0.690
0.845
0.550
0.589
0.935
0.500
0.707
0.835
0.836
0.860
0.735

The average of the unlevered betas of the Comparable Companies of 0.735 was then being relevered based on the specific corporate tax rate and the weight of debt applied to China Solar Power. The beta coefficient for China Solar Power was then calculated as 2.020.

The cost of debt of 6.40% was determined by the expected lending rate of China Solar Power, which is the long term best lending rate as extracted from Bloomberg. Since the interest paid on debts are tax-deductible, the cost of obtaining debt funds is less than the required rate of return of the suppliers of the debt capital. The after-tax cost of debt of 4.80% was calculated by multiplying one minus the corporate tax rate of the PRC of 25% by the cost of debt.

  • 95 -

vAluAtion report

Appendix iv

The weight of debt of 70% was the expected debt financing ratio which is stated in the Feasibility Report and was considered to be appropriate by the senior management of China Solar Power, and the weight of equity of 30% was calculated as one minus the weight of debt.

As a result, the WACC of China Solar Power was calculated as 9.01%.

The calculated free cash flow in each operating year was then discounted using the above mentioned discount rate to come up with the present value of the future free cash flows. Current net debt was deducted to calculate the equity value of China Solar Power.

the Marketability discount

The concept of marketability deals with the liquidity of an ownership interest, that is, how quickly and easily it can be converted into cash if the owner chooses to sell. The lack of marketability discount reflects the fact that there is no ready market for shares in a closely held company. Ownership interests in closely held companies are typically not readily marketable compared to similar interests in publicly listed companies. Therefore, a share of stock in a privately held company is usually worth less than an otherwise comparable share in a publicly listed company. In the valuation, 25% was used as the discount for lack of marketability.

SenSitivitY AnAlYSiS

A sensitivity analysis is a technique used to determine how different values of an independent variable will impact a particular dependent variable (i.e. the market value of the subject asset) under a given set of assumptions.

In applying the sensitivity analysis, the percentage changes in the market value of the 100% equity interest in China Solar Power (excluding the system integration business) in respect of a 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75% and 1.00% increase or decrease in the discount rate, status quo, were determined. The results of the sensitivity analysis were as follows:
