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

As the applicable percentage ratios as defined under Rule 19.07 of the GEM Listing Rules in respect of the Disposal are more than 25% but less than 75%, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction for the Company and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other matters, further details regarding the Disposal Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and a notice convening the EGM.

THE DISPOSAL AGREEMENT

Date: 6 September 2012

Parties:

  • (i) Vendor : China Technology Solar Power Holdings Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company

  • (ii) Purchaser : 青海省綠色發電集團有限公司 (unofficial English translation being Qinghai Green Power Generation Group Ltd.), the ultimate beneficial owner of which is 青海省國有資產管理委員會 (unofficial English translation being Qinghai State-owned Assets Administration Commission), a state-owned enterprise

The principal activities of the Purchaser are hydropower generation, wind power generation, solar energy generation and other electricity production activities. To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors and having made all reasonable enquiries, the Purchaser and its ultimate beneficial owner(s) are third parties independent of the Group and its connected persons.

Assets to be disposed of:

The assets to be disposed of under the Disposal Agreement are the entire equity interest in the Target Company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the principal assets of the Target Company were the 10MW Geermu Power Station and the 20MW Delingha Project.

Consideration:

Pursuant to the terms of the Disposal Agreement, the Consideration of RMB46,800,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$57,255,000) (subject to deduction as provided for in the Disposal Agreement) shall be payable by the Purchaser in cash in the following three installments:

  • (i) the first installment of RMB2,340,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$2,863,000) being paid to the Group within 10 business days upon signing of the Disposal Agreement;

  • 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (ii) the second installment of RMB10,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$12,234,000) being paid to the Group within 5 business days upon the provision of a copy of the necessary resolution(s) passed by the Shareholders at the EGM approving the Disposal Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder by the Group to the Purchaser; and

  • (iii) the final installment of the remaining Consideration after deducting the Relevant Balance and Liabilities and the Target Audited Loss (as defined below) being paid to the Group within 10 business days upon fulfillment (or where applicable, waiver by the Purchasers) of all the conditions as set out the paragraph headed “Conditions precedent” below before the Long Stop Date (as defined below).

Upon Completion, the Target Company will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company. After Completion, the Purchaser will be liable for the liabilities of the Target Company immediately before Completion Date up to a maximum amount of RMB95,000,000 (the “Maximum Borne Liabilities”). The Group agreed to settle the balance (“Relevant Balance”) on a dollar-to-dollar basis if the amount of the total liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of the Target Company exceeds the Maximum Borne Liabilities of RMB95,000,000. Having taken into account that (i) it is common for purchasers to request for limited liabilities for the targets in acquisitions so as to avoid any further liabilities; (ii) the Consideration has been arrived after taking into account the agreed level of the Maximum Borne Liabilities which is a rounding figure to the amount of the Target Company’s total audited liabilities as at 31 March 2012 of approximately RMB97.6 million; (iii) the operation of the 10MW Geermu Power Station was slowed down and any new purchase of assets of the Target Company shall be jointly monitored by the Vendor and the Purchaser after entering into of the Disposal Agreement until Completion and the Group will closely monitor the expenses of the Target Company until Completion so that the Target Company will not incur any material liabilities during such period; and (iv) the benefits from the Disposal as stated in the paragraph headed “Reasons for and benefits of the Disposal” below, the Board considers that the Maximum Borne Liabilities is acceptable to the Group and is fair and reasonable. The Maximum Borne Liabilities was determined with reference to the Target Company’s total audited liabilities as at 31 March 2012 which is the latest audited figure available as at the date of the Disposal Agreement. Both parties agreed that the Purchaser may deduct the Consideration or the technology consultancy fee to be received by the Vendor or its subsidiary if the Group fails to settle the Relevant Balance or other legal liabilities (including but not limited to tax, safety production and compensation of damages for the third parties or employees) of the Target Company prior to Completion (the “Relevant Balance and Liabilities”). If the Relevant Balance and Liabilities exceed the Consideration and the technology consultancy fee to be received by the Vendor or its subsidiary, the Vendor shall make up the difference within three days upon receipt of the notice from the Purchaser and make compensation for actual direct losses caused to the Purchaser. The Purchaser will engage a qualified accounting firm to audit the accounts of Target Company as at 31 August 2012 within five business days upon signing of the Disposal Agreement. The parties agreed that if the Target Company has audited accumulated loss since its establishment up to 31 August 2012 (“Target Audited Loss”), such loss shall be deducted from the final installment of the Consideration on a dollar-to-dollar basis. As at 31 August 2012, the unaudited accumulated loss of the Target Company amounted to approximately RMB3.7 million. Having taken into account the benefits from the Disposal as stated in the paragraph headed “Reasons for and benefits of the Disposal” below, the Board are of the view that the adjustment of the Consideration is fair and reasonable even if the adjustment by the Target Audited Loss may overlap the effect of adjustment by the Relevant Balance and Liabilities.

  • 8 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Consideration has been arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the parties with reference to (i) the paid-up capital of US$4 million of the Target Company; (ii) the assets and liabilities position of the Target Company as set out in the paragraph headed “Background information on CTSP (BVI) Group and the Target Company” below; and (iii) the development status of 10MW Geermu Power Station and 20MW Delingha Project, in particular the 10MW Geermu Power Station which had commenced operation and generated revenue since 1 April 2012. The Consideration has not specifically taken into account the goodwill arising from the Acquisition as such goodwill is booked at the level of the Company instead of at the level of the Target Company and the Purchaser is mainly focused on the assets and liabilities of the Target Company. The Directors are of the view that the Consideration is fair and reasonable after taking into account of the factors as stated in the paragraph headed “Reasons for and benefits of the Disposal” below.

The possible minimum proceeds (the “ Possible Minimum Proceeds ”) from the Disposal, after deducting the Consideration by (i) estimated expenses in connection with the Disposal of approximately HK$2 million; (ii) the difference of approximately RMB11.1 million (equivalent to approximately HK$13.6 million) between the unaudited total liabilities of the Target Company as at 31 August 2012 of RMB106.1 million (subject to audit of the relevant figures as at the date of Completion) and the Maximum Borne Liabilities to be borne by the Purchaser of RMB95 million; and (iii) the unaudited accumulated loss of the Target Company up to 31 August 2012 of approximately RMB3.7 million (equivalent to approximately HK$4.5 million) (subject to audit), amounted to approximately HK$37.2 million. The Possible Minimum Proceeds are calculated based on the latest available unaudited figures of the Target Company. Shareholders should note that the actual proceeds from the Disposal will be calculated on the basis of the relevant figures as at the date of the Completion and therefore would be different from the aforesaid amount. In addition, as there is no upper limit on the audited total liabilities of the Target Company as at Completion and the accumulated loss of the Target Company up to 31 August 2012 of approximately RMB3.7 million is subject to audit, the actual proceeds from the Disposal may be theoretically adjusted downward to zero or even negative. However, as the Possible Minimum Proceeds is calculated based on relevant figures as at 31 August 2012 and the operation of the 10MW Geermu Power Station was slowed down and any new purchase of assets of the Target Company shall be jointly monitored by the Vendor and the Purchaser after entering into of the Disposal Agreement until Completion and the Group will closely monitor the expenses of the Target Company until Completion, the Board considers that the Target Company will not incur any material liabilities during such period. In view of the above, the Board considers that the proceeds from the Disposal as at Completion will close to the Possible Minimum Proceeds of approximately HK$37.2 million.

The CTSP (BVI) Group expects to record an unaudited possible minimum gain from the Disposal of approximately HK$8.9 million, which is calculated by reference to, (i) the Possible Minimum Proceeds of approximately HK$37.2 million; and (ii) the net asset value of the Target Company as at 31 August 2012 of approximately RMB23.1 million (equivalent to approximately HK$28.3 million).

The Group expects to record an unaudited possible loss from the Disposal of approximately HK$15.1 million, which is calculated by reference to (i) the Possible Minimum Proceeds of approximately HK$37.2 million; (ii) the net asset value of the Target Company as at 31 August 2012 of approximately RMB23.1 million (equivalent to approximately HK$28.3 million); (iii) goodwill derecognized on the Disposal of approximately HK$24 million.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The above possible gain/loss from the Disposal are calculated based on the latest available unaudited figures of the Target Company. Shareholders should note that the actual gain/(loss) from the Disposal will be calculated on the basis of the relevant figures as at the date of the Completion and therefore would be different from the aforesaid amount.

Pursuant to a technology consultation service agreement (“Consultation Service Agreement”) entered into between the Vendor and the Purchaser on the date of the Disposal Agreement, the Group will receive an aggregate service fee of RMB14,210,000 (subject to confirmation from both parties) from the Purchaser for the provision of one-off technology consultation and design services to 20MW Delingha Project from the signing of the Consultation Service Agreement to the completion of the construction of 20MW Delingha Project. The construction period of the 20MW Delingha Project is expected to be one year. The said service fee of RMB14,210,000 (subject to confirmation from both parties) was determined with reference to the workload, expertise and manpower required for the provision of consultation services to the 20MW Delingha Project. The Disposal will also enable the Group to form a strategic alliance with the Purchaser for the cooperation in 20MW Delingha Project. The service fee does not form part of the Consideration given that the Group has to provide technology consultation and design services to 20MW Delingha Project under the Consultation Service Agreement. Services to be provided by the Group under the Consultation Service Agreement include design, construction and system optimization consultation services for 20MW Delingha Project. The expertise of the Group to provide such services are stated in the paragraph headed “Businesses of the Remaining Group” below.

Conditions precedent:

Completion is conditional upon the following conditions having been fulfilled and/or (where applicable) waived:

  • (i) the passing of the necessary resolution(s) by the Shareholders at the EGM approving the Disposal Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder;

  • (ii) the passing of resolution(s) by the shareholder of the Vendor approving, amongst others, the Disposal contemplated under the Disposal Agreement;

  • (iii) necessary approval in relation to the Disposal being obtained from the Department of Commerce of Qinghai Province (青海省商務廳); and

  • (iv) the Vendor and the Purchaser having completed the necessary procedures in relation to the Disposal as required by the relevant Administration for Industry and Commerce.

The parties agreed that the above conditions (iii) and (iv) should be fulfilled after the satisfaction of the above conditions (i) and (ii).

The Purchaser may waive the above conditions (iii) and (iv) by notice in writing to the Vendor. Each of the parties has undertaken to work on a best endeavor basis so as to speed up the Completion. In the event that any of the above conditions is not fulfilled and/or waived (where applicable) within 45 days upon signing of the Disposal Agreement (i.e. 21 October 2012) (“Long Stop Date”) (or any other date as may be agreed by the Purchaser), the Disposal Agreement shall be terminated automatically and cease to have any

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

effect, and neither party to the Disposal Agreement shall have any obligations and liabilities towards each other thereunder. The Group agreed to refund the payment received from the Purchaser together with the accrued interests (calculated with reference to benchmark lending rate published by the People’s Bank of China by that time and from the date when the Company receives the Consideration) to the Purchaser within 2 business days upon the termination of the Disposal Agreement. Neither party to the Disposal Agreement shall have any claim against the other save and except any antecedent breach. The Vendor may unilaterally terminate the Disposal Agreement and claim for compensation for loss caused by the equity transfer of the Target Company if the Purchaser fails to pay any of the installments of the Consideration in accordance with the Disposal Agreement.

Completion:

Completion shall take place on a day when all legal procedures in relation to the change and registration of equity transfer of the Target Company are completed.

Upon Completion, the Target Company will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON CTSP (BVI) GROUP AND THE TARGET COMPANY

The Group completed the acquisition of the CTSP (BVI) Group (including but not limited the Target Company) on 1 June 2011. Given that the Group acquired the CTSP (BVI) Group (including but not limited to the Target Company) as a whole, it is impracticable to assess the original acquisition cost of individual company. The Acquisition Consideration, being the original acquisition cost of the CTSP (BVI) Group, was HK$292,000,000 (subject to consideration adjustment). As set out in the paragraph headed “The Target Profit in respect of the Tranche II Convertible Bonds” below, the Acquisition Consideration might be adjusted to HK$242,000,000 as the PAT for the Target Profit Period is likely to be less than HK$15,000,000. The CTSP (BVI) Group is principally engaged in (i) solar energy generation; and (ii) related power system integration business in the PRC. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the CTSP (BVI) Group had three subsidiaries, including the Target Company, Qinghai Hongke New Energy Integration Technology Co., Ltd. and Shaanxi Baike New Energy Technology Development Co., Ltd.

The Target Company was established in the PRC in July 2009 with limited liability and was whollyowned by the Vendor as at the Latest Practicable Date. The Target Company is principally engaged in solar energy generation in the PRC. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the principal assets of the Target Company were the 10MW Geermu Power Station and the 20MW Delingha Project. Both of Qinghai Hongke New Energy Integration Technology Co., Ltd. and Shaanxi Baike New Energy Technology Development Co., Ltd. are principally engaged in power system integration business.

Solar energy generation business

As disclosed in the 2011 Circular and the 2012 Circular, CTSP (BVI) Group was approved to be engaged in the business of provision of solar energy of up to 1,000MW in the Qinghai Province. CTSP (BVI) Group has also entered into the Geermu Agreement and the Delingha Agreement.

  • 11 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Development and Reform Commission of the Qinghai Province had granted approval in December 2010 for the construction of the 10MW Geermu Power Station under the Geermu Agreement and the Development and Reform Commission of the Qinghai Province had granted approval on 6 December 2011 for the construction of the 20MW Delingha Project. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the construction of solar photovoltaic power station under the 20MW Delingha Project has not yet been commenced as the CTST (BVI) Group currently does not have sufficient financial resources to meet the capital expenditure required for the development of such project.

On 28 December 2011, CTSP (BVI) Group has completed the construction of the 10MW Geermu Power Station in 青海省格爾木東出口光伏園區 (unofficial English translation being Geermu East Exit Solar Power District, Qinghai province) and passed the grid integration inspection tests with the consent of 青 海省電力公司 (unofficial English translation being Qinghai Province Electric Company). On 30 December 2011, CTSP (BVI) Group has received the notification from 青海省發展和改革委員會 (unofficial English translation being Qinghai Province Development and Reform Committee) (“Committee”) that the 10MW Geermu Power Station has passed the inspection test of the Committee, and has conformed with the normal operation requirements for, and has officially commenced, grid integrated power generation. Pursuant to the relevant regulations of the PRC, from the commercial operation of the 10MW Geermu Power Station on 1 April 2012, the unit selling price of electricity shall be set at RMB1.15/KWh (inclusive of tax). Up to 30 June 2012, the total grid electricity generation volume of the 10MW Geermu Power Station has reached 5,142,400 KW/h. Based on the unaudited consolidated management accounts of CTSP (BVI), the turnover and profits after taxation of CTSP (BVI) generated from the 10MW Geermu Power Station from 1 April 2012 up to 30 June 2012 were approximately HK$6.2 million and approximately HK$3.4 million respectively.

According to the unaudited accounts of the Target Company, the unaudited loss (both before and after taxation and extraordinary items) of the Target Company for the year ended 31 March 2011 was approximately RMB3.9 million (equivalent to approximately HK$4.8 million). According to the audited accounts of the Target Company, the audited loss (both before and after taxation and extraordinary items) of the Target Company for the year ended 31 March 2012 was approximately RMB4.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$4.9 million). As at 31 August 2012, the unaudited net asset value of the Target Company was approximately RMB23.1 million (equivalent to approximately HK$28.3 million).

As at 31 March 2012, the audited total assets and total liabilities of the Target Company amounted to approximately RMB120.8 million and RMB97.6 million respectively. As at 31 August 2012, the unaudited total liabilities of the Target Company amounted to approximately RMB106.1 million. The difference of approximately RMB8.5 million was resulted from the increase in the account payables and other payables and accruals of the Target Company arising from the maintenance and operation of 10MW Geemu Power Station during the five-month period from 1 April 2012 to 31 August 2012. The Target Company has an unaudited accumulated loss of approximately RMB3.7 million up to 31 August 2012. The difference of approximately RMB11.1 million between the unaudited total liabilities of the Target Company as at 31 August 2012 of approximately RMB106.1 million (subject to audit of the relevant figures as at the date of Completion) and the Maximum Borne Liabilities to be borne by the Purchaser of RMB95 million and the Target Audited Loss shall be deducted from the final installment of the Consideration and/or the technology consultancy fee under the Consultation Service Agreement on a dollar-to-dollar basis.

At the Acquisition Completion, the Group’s intention on the Target Company was to develop the 10MW Geermu Power Station and the 20MW Delingha Project. Having taken into account the factors as set out in the paragraph headed “Reasons for and benefits of the Disposal” below, the Directors consider that the Disposal represents a prime opportunity for the Group to realise its investment in the Target Company.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

The Group is principally engaged in (i) sales of self-service automatic teller machine (“ ATM ”) systems and printing systems; (ii) provision of hardware and software technical support services; (iii) solar energy generation; and (iv) power system integration business in the PRC.

The Group completed the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of the Vendor in June 2011, details of the Acquisition were set out in the 2011 Circular. As estimated by the Company after conducting budgeting study of the construction period, electricity generation capacity, machinery and equipment purchase and labour involved, the investment in the construction and development of 20MW Delingha Project would amount to approximately RMB240 million. The expenditure in relation to the maintenance and

  • 13 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

future development of the 10MW Geermu Power Station would amount to approximately RMB10 million. Having taken into account of the sizable capital expenditure required for future construction and development of 10MW Geermu Power Station and 20MW Delingha Project, the Directors consider that the Disposal represents a prime opportunity for the Group to realise its investment and reserve its financial resources for the system integration business and solar energy generation projects with smaller capacity. The proceeds from the Disposal will bring an immediate cash flow to the Group, which will in turn improve the working capital and strengthen the financial position of the Group.

On the date of the Disposal Agreement, the Consultation Service Agreement was entered into between the Vendor and the Purchaser pursuant to which the Group will receive an aggregate service fee of RMB14,210,000 (subject to confirmation from both parties) from the Purchaser for the provision of technology consultation and design services for 20MW Delingha Project.

At the time of the Acquisition, the Group intended to finance a substantial part of the capital expenditure required for the CTSP (BVI) Group from the expected proceeds from subsequent placing exercise(s) to be conducted by the Company and revenue generated from two agreements (“Two System Integration Agreements”) for provision of one-off system integration services for biomass energy, thermal power and solar energy generation companies and projects as mentioned in the 2011 Circular. However, according to the announcement of the Company dated 16 December 2011, the net proceeds from a placing exercise conducted by the Company only amounted to approximately HK$8.9 million. No placing exercise has been conducted by the Company thereafter and up to the Latest Practicable Date. In addition, as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 2 September 2012, the contracting parties to the Two System Integration Agreements were still in the process of obtaining the necessary licenses from the respective governmental authorities so that CTSP (BVI) Group had not yet commenced such system integration services. As such, the Group may be unable to finance the operation of CTSP (BVI) Group as planned at the time of the Acquisition. As at 30 June 2012, the Group had cash and bank balances amounting to a total of approximately HK$22.5 million. As at 31 August 2012, the unaudited net current liabilities of the Target Company amounted to approximately RMB82.9 million. In view of the above, the Board considers that the Group is under high cash pressure and currently does not have sufficient existing financial resources to develop the 10MW Geermu Power Station and 20MW Delingha Project.

If the Disposal was disapproved by the Shareholders at the EGM, the Target Company may go into liquidation and the Company will lose its investment in the Target Company. However, the liquidity problem is limited to the Target Company only and the Group will not be involved in it. As such, given that two segments of the businesses carried out by the Remaining Group including the (i) sale of self-service ATM systems and printing system; and (ii) provision of hardware and software technical support services are generating revenue and enabling the Group to have sufficient financial resources for operation, the Board are of the view that the Group will not have any going concern problem and will have sufficient working capital for its present requirement for at least 12 months from the date of this circular.

Taking into account that (i) the Group currently does not have sufficient existing financial resources to develop the 10MW Geermu Power Station and 20MW Delingha Project; (ii) the high cash pressure for the settlement of the current liabilities of the Target Company and the sizable capital expenditure required for future construction and development of the 10MW Geermu Power Station and 20MW Delingha Project, the Directors consider that the Disposal represents a prime opportunity for the Group to realise its investment and reserve its financial resources for the system integration business and the solar energy generation business

  • 14 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

under the Delingha Agreement and other potential opportunities of solar energy generation business with smaller capacity; (iii) the proceeds from the Disposal will bring an immediate cash flow to the Group, which will in turn improve the working capital and strengthen the financial position of the Group; (iv) the Disposal will enable the Group to form a strategic alliance with the Purchaser for the cooperation in 20MW Delingha Project and receive a service fee of RMB14,210,000 (subject to confirmation from both parties) from the Purchaser for provision of services under the Consultation Service Agreement; and (v) the Company may lose its investment in the Target Company if the Target Company goes into liquidation, which is not in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders, the Board therefore considers that the terms and conditions of the Disposal are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole although the Group expects to record a loss from the Disposal.

The Target Profit in respect of the Tranche II Convertible Bonds

Reference is made to the 2011 Circular and 2012 Circular in relation to, among other matters, the Acquisition and the entering into of the First Supplemental Agreement in relation to the Target Profit and the adjustment of the Acquisition Consideration.

Pursuant to the Agreement, Good Million conditionally agreed to sell and City Max (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) conditionally agreed to purchase the entire issued share capital of CTSP (BVI) at the Acquisition Consideration of HK$292,000,000 (subject to consideration adjustment). Good Million and the Guarantors have guaranteed to City Max and the Company that the audited consolidated net profit after tax of the CTSP (BVI) Group (“PAT”) recorded in the ordinary course of business for the 12 months ending 31 March 2012 (“Original Target Profit Period”) shall not be less than HK$30,000,000. The audited consolidated accounts of CTSP (BVI) Group for the 12 months ending 31 March 2012 shall be prepared by the auditors of the Company in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards and shall be completed within three months after 31 March 2012. The Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder were approved by the Shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company on 31 May 2011. Acquisition Completion took place on 1 June 2011 and CTSP (BVI) has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company since then.

On 30 January 2012, City Max, the Guarantors, Good Million and the Company entered into the First Supplemental Agreement to amend certain terms of the Agreement. Pursuant to the First Supplemental Agreement, the original target profit of HK$30,000,000 for the Original Target Profit Period is changed to the Target Profit of HK$40,000,000 for the Target Profit Period of 12 months ending 30 September 2012 and subject to the adjustment of the Acquisition Consideration. The First Supplemental Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder were approved by the independent Shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company on 12 March 2012.

On 2 September 2012, City Max, the Guarantors, Good Million and the Company entered into the Second Supplemental Agreement to amend certain terms of the Revised Agreement. Under the Second Supplemental Agreement, it was proposed that the Target Profit Period would be deferred to cover the period of 12 months ending on 31 March 2013. The Second Supplemental Agreement was terminated by the parties by a termination agreement dated 24 September 2012, details of which were set out in the announcement of the Company dated 24 September 2012.

  • 15 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As the Completion will take place after 30 September 2012, the expected gain from the Disposal at the level of CTSP (BVI) Group and the service fees under the Consultation Service Agreement will not be consolidated into the financial statements of CTSP (BVI) Group up to 30 September 2012, and such expected gain and service fees would therefore not be included in the Target Profit for the Target Profit Period. In addition, the contracting parties to the Two System Integration Agreements are still in the process of obtaining the necessary licences from the respective governmental authorities so that the Group has not yet commenced such system integration services. Given the above, the Board is of the view that the Target Profit for the Target Profit Period is unlikely to be met. Further announcement will be made by the Company after the audit of the Target Profit.

According to the Revised Agreement, in the event that the Target Profit could not be achieved, the Acquisition Consideration should be adjusted downwards by reducing the principal amount of the Tranche II Convertible Bonds in accordance with the following formula. The principal amount of the Tranche II Convertible Bonds will be adjusted to HK$0 if the PAT is equivalent to or less than HK$15,000,000 or a loss:

The adjusted principal = the original principal – 2 X (Target Profit of amount of the Tranche II amount of the Tranche II HK$40,000,000 for the Convertible Bonds Convertible Bonds of Target Profit Period – HK$50,000,000 PAT for the Target Profit Period)

As such, the Acquisition Consideration might be adjusted to HK$242,000,000 as the PAT for the Target Profit Period is likely to be less than HK$15,000,000.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The net proceeds from the Disposal, after deducting expenses attributable to the Disposal, are estimated to be approximately HK$55.3 million (subject to deduction by the Relevant Balance and Liabilities and the Target Audited Loss). Such net proceeds are expected to be used as to 60% as general working capital of the Group and as to 40% for the development of system integration service business and future solar energy generation projects with smaller capacity within one year after Completion.

POSSIBLE FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL

Upon Completion, the Target Company will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company. As a result, the financials of the Target Company will cease to be consolidated into the financial statements of the Group upon Completion.

The Group expects to record an unaudited possible loss from the Disposal of approximately HK$15.1 million, which is calculated by reference to (i) the net proceeds from the Disposal of approximately HK$55.3 million (subject to deduction by the Relevant Balance and Liabilities and the Target Audited Loss); (ii) the unaudited accumulated loss of the Target Company up to 31 August 2012 of approximately RMB3.7 million (equivalent to approximately HK$4.5 million) (subject to audit); (iii) the net asset value of the Target Company as at 31 August 2012 of approximately RMB23.1 million (equivalent to approximately HK$28.3 million); (iv) the difference of approximately RMB11.1 million (equivalent to approximately HK$13.6

  • 16 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

million) between the unaudited total liabilities of the Target Company as at 31 August 2012 of approximately RMB106.1 million (subject to audit of the relevant figures as at the date of Completion) and the Maximum Borne Liabilities to be borne by the Purchaser of RMB95 million; and (v) goodwill derecognized on the Disposal of approximately HK$24 million. As the aforementioned goodwill of HK$24 million will be derecognized at the Group’s level, the Group is expected to record an unaudited loss from the Disposal whereas the CTSP (BVI) Group is expected to record an unaudited gain as disclosed in the paragraph headed “Consideration” above. It is expected that the total assets and total liabilities of the Group will decrease upon Completion. The proceeds from the Disposal will bring an immediate cash flow to the Group, which will in turn improve the working capital and strengthen the financial position of the Group. If the amount of the total liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of the Target Companies immediately before Completion Date exceeds the Maximum Borne Liabilities of RMB95,000,000 and if the Target Company has Target Audited Loss, the Relevant Balance and Liabilities and the Target Audited Loss shall be deducted from the final installment of the Consideration and/or the service fee under the Consultation Service Agreement. Given that (i) the above adjustments are dollar-to-dollar in nature; and (ii) the operation of the 10MW Geermu Power Station was slowed down and any new purchase of assets of the Target Company shall be jointly approved by the Vendor and the Purchaser after entering into of the Disposal Agreement until Completion and the Group will closely monitor the expenses of the Target Company until Completion so that the Target Company will not incur any material liabilities during such period, the Directors consider that such adjustments would not have material financial impact to the Group.

Shareholders should note that the actual gain/(loss) from the Disposal will be calculated on the basis of the relevant figures as at the date of the Completion and therefore would be different from the aforesaid amount.

BUSINESSES OF THE REMAINING GROUP

Following the Disposal, the Remaining Group will continue to be engaged in (i) sales of self-service ATM systems and printing systems; (ii) provision of hardware and software technical support services; (iii) solar energy generation; and (iv) power system integration business in the PRC.

In respect of marketing and sales of self-service ATM systems and printing systems, as well as the provision of system maintenance and enhancement services to financial institutions, the Remaining Group will continue to maintain its position with new contracts clinched with Postal Savings Bank of China, Bank of Communications, Bank of Shanghai, Bank of Wenzhou, Bank of Yingkou, Rural Commercial Banks, the Rural Credit Cooperatives of China, several branches of the China State Postal Bureau and the Ministry of Public Security of the PRC. The Remaining Group will fully commit itself to being one of the leading ATM total solution providers in the banking sector in the PRC and offer a full range of banking and financial system solutions for the banking and financial sectors, and persist to put efforts on enhancing closer customer relationships, broadening business relationships and exploring new business opportunities in corporate outsourcing technical service sector. Leveraging on its prudent and experienced management and strong and determined workforce, the Remaining Group, by keeping on boosting its marketing effort in the PRC to bring in new customers, will strive to maintain and expand its operations further, thus expanding its market share while at the same time bringing greater return to the Shareholders.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

System integration refers to the optimization of technologies in the civil engineering system, electrical system and other ancillary system, database technologies, surveillance and software management. The Remaining Group will continue to source equipment and products from different vendors based on the scale and capacity of the respective power stations and subsequently carry out integration of the separated equipment, functions and information into a connected, unified and coordinated system. System integration enables the utilization of resources at their best so to enhance optimization of performance of the entire system and achieve centralized, high efficiency, balanced performance, substitutable and available for maintenance, as well as low cost management. The Remaining Group also offers subsequent system management services to the power stations. As mentioned in the 2011 Circular and the 2012 Circular, the Group has secured and signed the Two System Integration Agreements for the provision of one-off system integration services for biomass energy, thermal power and solar energy generation companies and projects. In view of the fact that the contracting parties to the Two System Integration Agreements are still in the process of obtaining the necessary licences from the respective governmental authorities, the Group has not yet commenced such system integration services and therefore no revenue was generated since the acquisition of power system integration business.

The Directors are of the view that the Remaining Group has sufficient expertise in carrying out the power system integration business. The biographies of the Remaining Group’s management in the power system integration business are as follows:

Mr. Wang Jian Tong , is the general manager of a subsidiary of the Group mainly responsible for the projects approval, management and corporate operational management. He has 8 years of experience in new energy generation business, who was a key person fully in charge of the construction and implementation of various new energy projects. Mr. Wang joined the Group in June 2011.

Mr. Cao Ming Zhe , is the chief technical engineer of a subsidiary of the Group responsible for the implementation and maintenance of Qinghai solar energy projects. He holds a bachelor degree in Computer Science and Technology of the University of Qinghai with the professional qualification of information system supervisor. He has about 8 years of experience in the photovoltaic industry, and had been the technical chief engineer responsible for the implementation and maintenance of Qinghai solar energy project jointly financed by the PRC and Germany, as well as, various photovoltaic power stations projects. He also participated in the research and compilation of articles on the subjects of various photovoltaic industry projects. He is familiar with solar energy industry requirements and standards, and thus is able to design a photovoltaic power station independently in accordance with the requirements. Mr. Cao joined the Group in June 2011.

With reliance upon the abovementioned expertise of the management and the advanced system integration technologies such as electrical equipment system optimization technologies, the Remaining Group will expand its system integration services and technology consultancy services through securing more contracts for provision of such services to more solar photovoltaic power generation projects in the PRC. In addition, the Remaining Group will commence provision of system integration services under the Two System Integration Agreements upon obtaining of the requisite licenses by the contracting parties which are expected to be obtained in October 2012 based on the communication between the two contracting parties and the relevant governmental authorities. The estimated capital needs for the development of the Group’s power system integration services in the coming year would amount to approximately HK$10 million. As the

  • 18 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

power system integration services mainly rely upon the expertise and technologies of the Group, which is not capital intensive, the Directors are of the view that the power system integration business will speed up the capital turnover and strengthen the profitability of the Remaining Group.

Given the sizable capital expenditure required for the 10MW Geermu Power Station and the 20MW Delingha Project, the Company was considering disposing of the Target Company during the year ended 31 March 2012. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of solar energy generation business in relation to the 10MW Geermu Power Station was reclassified as held for sale at the end of the reporting period and the results and cash flows of the solar energy generation in relation to the 10MW Geermu Power Station were presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the consolidated statement of cash flows of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2012. However, the Remaining Group will continue its investment in solar energy generation projects of smaller capacity and less capital expenditure requirement. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group was still in the process of looking for such solar energy generation projects and the specific capacity and capital requirements would be determined at a later stage according to each specific project.

GENERAL

As the applicable percentage ratios as defined under Rule 19.07 of the GEM Listing Rules in respect of the Disposal are more than 25% but less than 75%, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction for the Company and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules. Pursuant to Rule 17.48A of GEM Listing Rules, subject to certain exceptions as provided for in the GEM Listing Rules, a director of an issuer shall not vote on any board resolution approving any contract or arrangement or any other proposal in which he or any of his associates has a material interest nor shall he be counted in the quorum present at the meeting. Good Million was the vendor of CTSP (BVI) at the time of the Acquisition and had, together with Mr. Chiu and Ms. Yuen, guaranteed the fulfillment of the Target Profit to City Max (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) and the Company. Ms. Yuen did not attend the board meeting. As a result, she did not vote in the board meeting. Mr. Chiu who entered into the Second Supplemental Agreement on 2 September 2012 in relation to the Target Profit, had voted for the resolution to approve the Disposal at the board meeting held on 6 September 2012 as he thought he had no material interest in the Disposal given that the Purchaser is an Independent Third Party. Nevertheless, Mr. Chiu might be considered having a material interest in the Disposal at the time of the board meeting due to his entering into of the Second Supplemental Agreement which may facilitate the CTSP (BVI) Group to meet the Target Profit and if the CTSP (BVI) Group records the Target Profit of HK$40 million, the Company would release the Tranche II Convertible Bond of HK$50 million to Good Million under the consideration mechanism under the Agreement and Mr. Chiu shall neither have voted nor have been counted in the quorum at the board meeting in that case. However, at the time of entering into of the Disposal Agreement, the Board and Mr. Chiu considered that the Target Profit would be met mainly by the profit contribution of approximately RMB32.0 million from the Two System Integration Agreements as if the licences were obtained by the contracting parties during the Target Profit Period, instead of the gain which may be recorded by the CTSP (BVI) Group from the Disposal. In addition, Mr. Chiu was actively securing other contracts for provision of system integration contracts, which might probably generate income during the Target Profit Period.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In view of that (i) the contracting parties to the Two System Integration Agreements are still in the process of obtaining the necessary licences from the respective governmental authorities so that the Group has not yet commenced such system integration services and the Target Profit for the Target Profit Period is unlikely to be met; (ii) the Completion will take place after 30 September 2012, the expected gain from the Disposal at the level of CTSP (BVI) Group and the service fees under the Consultation Service Agreement will not be consolidated into the financial statements of CTSP (BVI) Group up to 30 September 2012, and such expected gain and service fees would therefore not be included in the Target Profit for the Target Profit Period; (iii) Mr. Chiu and Ms. Yuen entered into a termination agreement on 24 September 2012 with City Max, Good Million and the Company to terminate the Second Supplemental Agreement; and (iv) assuming that Mr. Chiu did not attend or vote at the board meeting, the resolution approving the Disposal could still be passed by the other Directors in present at the board meeting, the Board believes that Mr. Chiu and Ms. Yuen have same interest as other Shareholders in the Disposal.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors and having made all reasonable enquiries, the Directors believe that both of Mr. Chiu and Ms. Yuen have same interest as other Shareholders in the Disposal. Neither the Purchaser nor its ultimate beneficial owner(s) hold any Shares and none of the Shareholders had an interest in the Disposal that is required to abstain from voting for the resolution(s) at the EGM to approve the Disposal and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

Save as aforesaid and apart from intra-group liabilities, the Group did not have any outstanding mortgages, charges, debentures, loan capital, debt securities, loans, bank overdraft or other similar indebtedness, financial lease or hire purchase commitments, liabilities under acceptances or acceptance credits guarantees or other material contingent liabilities as at 31 August 2012.

2. WORKING CAPITAL

The Directors, after due and careful consideration, are of the opinion that after taking into account the internal financial resources of the Group and the consideration to be received in connection with the Disposal and the Consultation Service Agreement, the Group will have sufficient working capital for its present requirements for at least 12 months from the date of this circular, in the absence of any unforeseeable circumstances.

3. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE REMAINING GROUP

Following the Disposal, the Remaining Group will continue to be engaged in (i) sales of self-service ATM systems and printing systems; (ii) provision of hardware and software technical support services; (iii) solar energy generation; and (iv) power system integration business in the PRC.

In respect of marketing and sales of self-service ATM systems and printing systems, as well as the provision of system maintenance and enhancement services to financial institutions, the Remaining Group will continue to maintain its position with new contracts clinched with Postal Savings Bank of China, Bank of Communications, Bank of Shanghai, Bank of Wenzhou, Bank of Yingkou, Rural Commercial Banks, the Rural Credit Cooperatives of China, several branches of the China State Postal Bureau and the Ministry of Public Security of the PRC. The Remaining Group will fully commit itself to being one of the leading ATM total solution providers in the banking sector in the PRC and offer a full range of banking and financial system solutions for the banking and financial sectors, and persist to put efforts on enhancing closer customer relationships, broadening business relationships and exploring new business opportunities in corporate outsourcing technical service sector.

expand its system integration services and technology consultancy services through securing more contracts for provision of such services to more solar photovoltaic power generation projects in the PRC. In addition, the Remaining Group will commence provision of system integration services under the Two System Integration Agreements upon obtaining of the requisite licenses by the contracting parties which are expected to be obtained in October 2012 based on the communication between the two contracting parties and the relevant governmental authorities. The estimated capital needs for the development of the Group’s power system integration services in the coming year would amount to approximately HK$10 million. As the power system integration services mainly rely upon the expertise and technologies of the Group, which is not capital intensive, the Directors are of the view that the power system integration business will speed up the capital turnover and strengthen the profitability of the Remaining Group.

Given the sizable capital expenditure required for the 10MW Geermu Power Station and the 20MW Delingha Project, the Company was considering disposing of the Target Company during the year ended 31 March 2012. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of solar energy generation business in relation to the 10MW Geermu Power Station was reclassified as held for sale at the end of the reporting period and the results and cash flows of the solar energy generation in relation to the 10MW Geermu Power Station were presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the consolidated statement of cash flows of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2012. However, the Remaining Group will continue its investment in solar energy generation projects of smaller capacity and less capital expenditure requirement. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group was still in the process of looking for such solar energy generation projects and the specific capacity and capital requirements would be determined at a later stage according to each specific project.
