CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized 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.

Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

BASIS OF DETERMINATION OF THE CONTRACT PRICE

The Contract Price was determined after arm’s length negotiations between Hebei Zhonghua and the Contractor on normal commercial terms with reference to the size and project design of the Works. The Directors believe that the Contract Price is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Contract Price was arrived at after consideration of the following factors: (i) the overall proposals submitted by the potential contractors; (ii) the size, technicality and quality requirement of the Works; (iii) the track record of the potential contractors on performing similar size projects; and (iv) the fee quotation of the potential contractors and their previous experience on similar projects. On this basis, the Directors consider that the Contract Price is fair and reasonable.

INFORMATION ON THE PARTIES

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, the Contractor and its ultimate beneficial owner, Mr. Cao Guohua*(曹國 華), are Independent Third Parties. The Contractor is a company incorporated in the PRC and principally engages in buildings, landscaping projects and steel structure projects construction. The Contractor was selected through invitation to tender.

Hebei Zhonghua is a company incorporated under the laws of the PRC, and an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Hebei Zhonghua is principally engaged in (i) manufacturing of solar modules; and (ii) sales of solar power products, in the PRC.

The Company and the Group are principally engaged in (i) sales of renewable energy products; and (ii) new energy power system integration business, in the PRC.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT

As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 8 April 2022, the announcement of the Company dated 27 June 2022 (the ‘‘Land Acquisition Announcement’’), the circular of the Company dated 20 September 2022 (the ‘‘Land Acquisition Circular’’), and the Announcement, the Group had previously considered setting up a solar modules production plant in Hebei.

To this end, as disclosed in the Land Acquisition Announcement, the Land Acquisition Circular, and the Announcement, the Company had acquired the Land with the intention of constructing the solar modules production plant. The Company believes that as the freight and insurance expenses involved in transporting components increase greatly with the distance of transportation, setting up a solar modules production plant near a project location will attract contractors of surrounding projects to purchase the Company’s components. Meanwhile, it can also provide a stable supply of goods for the Company’s key projects in Hebei, allowing the Company to better maintain quality control over its components, and bring synergy to its existing business. For example, it will have a positive impact on the sales of our existing solar related products, as the Company would be able to offer a more comprehensive suite of solar related products.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In view of the above, the Directors consider that the terms of the Construction Contract and the Contract Price are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

It is expected that the Contract Price will be financed through internal resources of the Company.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE GEM LISTING RULES

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios calculated pursuant to the GEM Listing Rules exceeds 25%, the Construction Contract and the Transactions constitute a major transaction on the part of the Company and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules.

The EGM will be convened to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the Construction Contract and the Transactions.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, as at the Latest Practicable Date, no Shareholder has a material interest in the Construction Contract and the Transactions. Therefore, no Shareholder will be required to abstain from voting on the relevant resolutions at the EGM.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION IN RELATION TO THE GROUP

Save as aforesaid, the Group did not, as at the close of business on 30 November 2022, have any material outstanding (i) debt securities, whether issued and outstanding, authorised or otherwise created but unissued, or term loans, whether guaranteed, unguaranteed, secured (whether the security is provided by the Group or by third parties) or unsecured; (ii) other borrowings or indebtedness in the nature of borrowing including bank overdrafts and liabilities under acceptances (other than normal trade bills) or acceptance credits or hire purchase commitments, whether guaranteed, unguaranteed, secured or unsecured; (iii) mortgage or charges; or (iv) guarantees or other contingent liabilities.

3. WORKING CAPITAL

The Directors are of the opinion that, after due and careful enquiry and after taking into account the existing bank balances and cash, internal resources and also the effect of the Transactions, the Group will have sufficient working capital for its present requirements for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this circular, in the absence of unforeseeable circumstances. The Company has obtained the relevant confirmation as required under Rule 19.66(13) of the GEM Listing Rules.

4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF GROUP

The Group is principally engaged in (i) sales of renewable energy products and (ii) new energy power system integration business.

As disclosed in the Company’s interim report for the six-month period ended 30 September 2022 (‘‘2022-1H’’), the Group’s revenue amounted to approximately RMB42.5 million, representing a decrease of approximately 11.3 per cent as compared with approximately RMB47.9 million recorded for the six-month period ended 30 September 2021 (‘‘2021-1H’’), mainly attributable to the decrease in gross profit of the Group. The Group’s gross profit margin was approximately 5.2% for the 2022-1H, as compared to approximately 23.7% for the 2021-1H.

The gross profit for the 2022-1H was generated from the sales and installation of solar modules (as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 31 March 2022 and the circular of the Company dated 22 April 2022) while the gross profit for the 2021-1H was generated from the Zhangbei Project (as defined in the annual report of the Company dated 29 June 2022). Since the Zhangbei Project was comparatively complicated and required a higher level of technical support services, a higher gross profit margin was recorded in 2021-1H, and a higher gross profit was recorded in 2021-1H as compared to 2022-1H.

– 13 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION IN RELATION TO THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

The revenue generated from the sales of renewable energy products was approximately RMB42.5 million for the 2022-1H (2021-1H: approximately RMB47.9 million), accounting for approximately 100.0% of the Group’s total revenue (2021-1H: approximately 100%).

There was no revenue generated from the new energy power system integration business during the 2022-1H (2021-1H: Nil).

The Group has been identifying and exploring other new business opportunities in the renewable energy sector and to broaden its sources of income to bring return to the Group and its shareholders.

Considering the PRC government’s long-term encouragement on distributed photovoltaic power generation, the Group will continue to look for other solar energy generation projects and new energy power system integration services. The Group has been negotiating and securing new contracts for the new energy power system integration business.

The Group will finance its future business plans by internally generated cash flow and borrowings.

Leveraging on the prudent and experienced management and the strong and determined workforce of the Group, the Group will strive to maintain and expand its operations further, thus bringing greater returns to the Shareholders.

5. FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT ON EARNINGS, ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF GROUP

As disclosed above, it is expected that the Contract Price will be financed through internal resources of the Company. After full payment of the Contract Price and Completion of the Works, the cash and cash equivalent of the Group would decrease by approximately RMB42 million, coupled with a corresponding increase in the Group’s non-current assets by approximately RMB42 million.
