LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The difference between the loans receivable and the aggregate consideration will be set off against the loan due from the Group to CASC at the completion date (up to a maximum of HK$80,000,000) and the balance in cash from CASC to CASIL Clearing. As at 30 June 2005, the amount due from the Group to CASC was HK$180,619,000, which was advanced to the Group for the repayment of the floating interest notes and bank loans.

Assuming that there is no repayment from the date of this Circular to the date of completion, it is expected that not less than HK$14.9 million in cash will be received from CASC by CASIL Clearing. These two loans receivable have been selected after arm’s length negotiation between CASC and CASIL Clearing.

The parties shall use their endeavour to ensure fulfilment of all conditions on or before 30 September 2006 or such later date as the parties may agree in writing.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFIT OF ENTERING INTO OF THE SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT

The Group is principally engaged in the manufacturing of electronic products including liquid crystal display, plastic moulds, printed circuit boards, intelligent chargers and security systems.

The principal activities of the Group will change subject to factors such as market demand and emergence of development opportunities. The Company believes that property investment by the Company in the past had been successful, particularly in relation to that of the industrial park. The sale of the Hong Kong properties by the Company earlier on is a necessary step towards debt structuring. Since this year, the management sector of the Company has investigated various factors, and the future directions for the Company is refined to technological engineering, property investment and advanced technology-related manufacturing.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The directors considered that the Company would benefit from the entering into of the transaction as this will reduce the loans receivable of the Group (as at 30 June 2005, the book value of the loans receivable was HK$258,878,000) and improve the assets portfolio of the Group. Given the recent positive prospects of developing industrial zone, technology zone and related property in mainland China and the vigorous property market in Canada, the assets to be acquired under the transaction is quality land and/or land use rights in these two countries, with strong capital appreciation potential and liquidity.

As set out in notes to the annual reports and accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2004, according to business segmentation, of the consolidated total assets of HK$2,541,678,000 as at 31 December 2004, property amounted to HK$623,712,000 whilst liabilities related to property amounted to HK$88,232,000. Gross rental income for the year ended 31 December 2004 amounted to HK$24,528,000, of which rental income from investment properties amounted to HK$18,311,000. As at 31 December 2004, the book value of investment properties amounted to HK$267,750,000.

With the aggregate valuation of the properties of Vanbao and properties of Huadun (which legal title documentation have been received or which the PRC legal adviser to the Company has advised that there is no legal impediment to the issue of title documents) amounted to approximately HK$81,500,000. It is expected that the transaction will strengthen the Group’s overall property investment portfolio and investment mix.

The terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are negotiated after arm’s length negotiation. The directors (including the independent non-executive directors having considered the content of the Letter from the Independent Financial Adviser) of the Company considers that the transaction was entered into on normal commercial terms and the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement (together with the subsequent arrangement to set-off the shareholder’s loan due to CASC by the Group as well as the assignment of the Vanbao Shareholder’s Loan) are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the shareholders of the Company as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

INTENTION OF THE COMPANY IN RESPECT OF THE PROPERTIES OF VANBAO AND HUADUN

Properties of Vanbao

The property owned by Vanbao comprises an assembled development site formed by 9 smaller sites located in the Beltline area of City of Calgary. The combined site is rectangular in shape with a total site area of approximately 4,234.11 sq.m. Certain part of the properties held by Vanbao are currently leased to 7 independent third parties with the latest tenancy expires in September 2006. The gross annual rent of these 7 tenancies amounts to C$96,720 (equivalent to approximately HK$657,696). The land use guidelines (DC Direct Control Land Use Guidelines approved by the Calgary City Council) indicate that the property is eligible to be developed with a high density residential development. Given the property will virtually be vacant shortly after completion of the sale and purchase, the parties to the Sale and Purchase Agreement agreed that the property be valued on the basis that the property is a vacant property and is eligible to be developed with a high density residential development. Atkinson Appraisal Consultants Limited, an independent valuer, valued the property at C$5,695,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$38,726,000) as at 11 January 2006. The property was acquired more than 5 years of the date of valuation and has not been pledged. Details of which are set out in Appendix III to this circular.

Given that the property is eligible to be developed with a high density residential development, the Company would, upon completion of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, decide whether the Company would sell the property in the market to third party developer, subject to the then market condition.

Properties of Huadun

Pursuant to the books and accounts of Huadun, there are a total of 3 parcels of land, namely, (i) Huadun Industrial City, (ii) a piece of land adjoining Huadun Industrial City at Dong Feng Road South and (iii) a piece of land at Xie Kang Cun, Qing Feng Road, all in Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, the PRC. Details of the properties are set out in Appendix III to this circular.

The properties concerned were transferred to an affiliate of Huadun pursuant to a loan settlement agreement without proper title documentation. These properties were assigned by such affiliate to Huadun in 2003. Huadun was acquired by the subordinates of CASC on 15 July 2004 at a consideration of approximately RMB31,301,000. Subsequently, such affiliate was dissolved and Huadun began to encounter difficulties in obtaining title documents in respect of the properties. Most of the buildings were completed prior to such acquisition. In the event that Huadun is not able to negotiate for the issue of the title documents, Huadun may surrender the property and the PRC government will reimburse Huadun for the amount it had incurred on the property.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Huadun has obtained land use right certificate in respect of 24,001 sq.m. out of total site area of 36,000 sq.m. in respect of the Huadun Industrial City. It is expected that Huadun will obtain land use right certificate of 109,000 sq.m. out of the 197,226.95 sq.m. site adjoining the Huadun Industrial City upon payment of the final instalment of the land premium. It is confirmed that the final land premium will be approximately RMB3,367,500 (HK$3,237,981) (Note) . As to the piece of land at Xie Kang Cun, Huadun has yet to obtain the land use right certificate. Huadun will negotiate with the relevant authority in respect of its title to such properties and the buildings thereon. Pursuant to a PRC legal opinion obtained by Huadun, (a) the loan settlement agreements are legally binding and enforceable; (b) given the winding up of the affiliate of Huadun (the transferor of the properties) and more than 2 years (being limitation period to initiate claims in the PRC) have passed without any claim against Huadun in respect of the properties, Huadun has obtained the rights to the properties transferred to it. Nevertheless, Huadun has to obtain approval from the Bureau of Land Resources of Dongguan ( ) in order to obtain title documents.

Note: In determining the value for the properties of Huadun as consideration for the Sale and Purchase Agreement, it was agreed that a sum of RMB3,369,000 should be deducted as the properties are still subject to payment of the outstanding land premium. It is now confirmed that the oustanding land premium will be approximately RMB3,367,500.

During the course of negotiating the Sale and Purchase Agreement, CASC and CASIL Clearing agreed that no value be attached to land and buildings which have yet to obtain title document save for the 109,000 sq.m. site referred to above. Based on the information provided by the Company and CASC (being a contolling shareholder and connected person of the Company), Knight Frank Hong Kong Limited has valued the properties of Huadun at RMB44,500,000 (approximately HK$42,788,462) as at 28 February 2006.

Huadun Industrial City comprises 3 contiguous parcel of industrial land having a total site area of approximately 36,000 sq.m. Currently the property is physically subdivided into 3 industrial complexes namely Zone 1, Zone 2 and Zone 3 let under three tenancies each for a term of 5 years with the latest tenancy expiring in December 2010 with monthly rental RMB104,988, RMB97,457 and RMB51,102 respectively. It is the current intention of the Company to hold the property as investment properties.

In respect of the other properties held by Huadun (being properties numbered 2 and 3 in the valuation report as set out in paragraph B of Appendix III to this Circular), the Company intends to hold such property as properties for future development.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

There are a total of three loans receivable recorded in the books of CASIL Clearing carrying a book value. For a number of years, CASC had provided undertaking in respect of those loans receivable. As one of these three loans receivable is currently subject to a Hong Kong legal proceeding (as more particularly set out in the paragraph headed “Litigation” in Appendix IV to this circular) and was not considered as appropriate for assignment to CASC under the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the loans to Rich Echo Investments Limited and East Pioneer International Limited were agreed by CASC and CASIL Clearing as the consideration for the purpose of the Sale and Purchase Agreement. As for the remaining loans receivable, the Company and CASC have been in discussion broadly the measures to enhance recoverability. Further disclosure will be made pending results of the discussions.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Assuming that no repayment are received from the loans receivable from the date of this circular until the date of Completion, CASIL Clearing is expected to receive not less than HK$14.9 million in cash from CASC. The Company intends to use the proceeds as working capital.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE TRANSACTION

The transactions contemplated under the Sale and Purchase Agreement involved a swap of the loans receivable due from third parties for interests in Vanbao, Huadun and set off of amount due from the Company to CASC (up to a maximum of HK$80,000,000) and injection of cash. Given the dollar-to-dollar set off among the consideration, the loans receivable and the shareholder’s loan due to CASC, it is expected by the Company that the Company will not have any material effect on the profit and loss account as a result of the asset swap except for certain professional and legal fees incurred.

Although the amount of loans receivable may be further reduced if the third parties make repayments before the date of Completion, assuming there is no repayment of the loans receivable until the date of Completion, not less than HK$14.9 million will be received in cash by the Group. Hence, the liquidity of the Group will be improved.

To: The Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders

Dear Sirs,

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Vanbao and Huadun did not have any material assets other than holding an investment property in Canada and the PRC respectively. Details of the Sale and Purchase Agreement entered into between CASIL Clearing, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and CASC are contained in the circular to the shareholders of the Company (the “Shareholders”) dated 10 April 2006 (the “Circular”), of which this letter forms part.

APPENDIX II LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

In formulating our advice, we have relied on the information and facts supplied, and the opinions expressed, by the directors of the Company (the “Directors”) which we have assumed to be true, accurate and complete. We have sought and received confirmation from the Directors that all material relevant information has been supplied to us and that to the best knowledge of the Directors, no material facts have been omitted from the information supplied and opinions expressed by them. We consider that the information we have received is sufficient for us to reach our advice and recommendation as set out in this letter and to justify our reliance on such information. We have no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us, or to believe that any material information has been omitted or withheld. However, we have not conducted any independent investigation into the business and affairs of the Group or Vanbao or Huadun. We have assumed that all information and representations contained or referred to in the Circular are true at the date of the Circular and will remain true up to the time of the holding of the Extraordinary General Meeting.

INTRODUCTION

Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Group will assign to CASC or its nominee the following loans, the aggregate outstanding amount of which as at the Latest Practicable Date was approximately HK$187.8 million:

Approximate
amount
(HK$ million)
(i) loan due from Rich Echo Investments Limited 87.8
(“Rich Echo”), (“Rich Echo Loan”)
(ii) loan due from East Pioneer International Limited 100.0
(“East Pioneer”), (“East Pioneer Loan”)
187.8

The borrowers of the Rich Echo Loan and East Pioneer Loan are not connected persons of the Company (as defined under the Listing Rules). The two loans were made by CASIL Clearing, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, as part of its money lending business. CASIL Clearing has ceased extending new loans since 1998.

– 16 –

APPENDIX II LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The consideration that the Group will receive for the assignment of the above two loans pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement includes:

(i)
79.25% of the issued shares of Vanbao held by Wan Yuen,
a wholly owned entity of CASC, together with a
shareholder’s loan extended by Wan Yuen to Vanbao
(ii)
100% registered capital of Huadun, which is currently held
by two wholly owned subsidiaries of CASC
(iii) set-off of a loan due from the Group to CASC
(iv) cash (note)
Approximate
amount
(HK$ million)
30.9
62.0
up to 80.0
not less than 14.9
187.8

Note: Assuming there is no further repayment of the Rich Echo Loan and East Pioneer Loan since the Latest Practicable Date.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT

In arriving at our opinion and recommendation, we have taken into account the following principal factors and reasons:

1. Reasons for and benefits of entering into the Sale and Purchase Agreement

The Group is principally engaged in the manufacturing of electronic products including liquid crystal display, plastic moulds, printed circuit boards, intelligent chargers and security systems. The Group was also engaged in the money lending business in Hong Kong between 1996 and 1998 through CASIL Clearing which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

As set out in the Company’s previous announcement and financial reports, the Group still carries in its books a substantial amount of loan receivables arising from its money lending business. As at 30 June 2005, the book value of the loan receivables amounted to approximately HK$258.9 million, which comprised three loans receivables including the Rich Echo Loan and East Pioneer Loan. As at 30 June 2005, the aggregate book value of the Rich Echo Loan and East Pioneer Loan amounted to approximately HK$188.6 million. Following a repayment of part of the Rich Echo Loan in the sum of approximately HK$0.8 million, the aggregate outstanding amount of the two loans was reduced to approximately HK$187.8 million as at the Latest Practicable Date. The other loan receivable is secured by a piece of land in Hong Kong and a personal guarantee. The Group has instituted legal proceeding in Hong Kong in respect of that loan receivable, details of which is set out in the paragraph headed “Litigation” in Appendix IV to the Circular.

– 17 –

APPENDIX II LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Rich Echo Loan and East Pioneer Loan were made in 1997 by CASIL Clearing to two independent companies which have the same beneficial owners. Despite continuous efforts (as detailed below), the Group has not been able to obtain full repayment of the outstanding balances of the two loans.

As part of the Group’s exercise to streamline its business and reorganise its assets through disposal of non-core businesses and lesser quality assets, CASIL Clearing has agreed to assign (without recourse) the Rich Echo Loan and East Pioneer Loan, in respect of which repayment is slow and full recovery is in doubt, to CASC or its nominee pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

The Directors consider the assets owned by Vanbao and Huadun to be acquired pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement are better quality assets than the Rich Echo Loan and East Pioneer Loan. We concur with the view of the Directors that the disposal of the two overdue loans arising from the discontinued money lending business is in line with the Group’s business strategy to streamline its business and improve the quality of its asset portfolio. The Group will also benefit from a reduction in net debt as a result of up to HK$80.0 million set-off of a shareholder’s loan due by the Group to CASC and receipt of a cash payment of not less than HK$14.9 million from CASC upon Completion (assuming no further repayment of the two loans subsequent to the Latest Practicable Date).

2. Information on the Rich Echo Loan and the East Pioneer Loan

Both the Rich Echo Loan and East Pioneer Loan were made by CASIL Clearing in 1997 as part of its money lending business. Rich Echo and East Pioneer have the same beneficial owners and no significant assets or business of their own.

The principal terms of the Rich Echo Loan and East Pioneer Loan are the same and they are set out as follows:

(a) Time of borrowing: mid 1997 (b) Maturity: one year (c) Principal amount: HK$150 million

(d) Interest rate: 12.5% per annum

– 18 –

APPENDIX II LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

(e) Security:

a personal guarantee provided by one of the two beneficial owners of the corporate borrowers; a corporate guarantee provided by a Taiwan company owned by the personal guarantor and his family members; and post dated cheques issued by the corporate guarantor for the principal amount of the respective loans in favour of CASIL Clearing.

(f) Outstanding loan amounts as at the Latest Practicable Date:

(i) Rich Echo Loan HK$87.8 million (ii) East Pioneer Loan HK$100.0 million

  • (g) Repayment record of the principal loan amount:

(i) Rich Echo Loan HK$62.2 million from 1999 to 2005 (ii) East Pioneer Loan HK$50.0 million in 1998

  • (h) Payment record of interest:

(i) Rich Echo Loan HK$18.8 million in 1999 (ii) East Pioneer Loan HK$62.9 million from1997 to 2001

When the Rich Echo Loan and East Pioneer Loan became overdue, CASIL Clearing presented the above cheques with the relevant bank for clearance but the cheques bounced. Accordingly, CASIL Clearing filed a claim (the “Claim”) in the court of Taiwan against the drawer of the cheques, which is a Taiwan company, and has successfully obtained a court order in its favour. However, as at the Latest Practicable Date, CASIL Clearing has not succeeded in recovering any amount in respect of the Claim.

Note: The above non-current liabilities represented the Vanbao Shareholder’s Loan which is unsecured, non-interest bearing and does not have any repayment terms.

Currently, Vanbao has leased out a portion of the Vanbao Properties to tenants who are independent third parties not connected with the Company and its connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules). The turnover of Vanbao during the two years ended 31 December 2005 was mainly attributable to the rental income generated from the Vanbao Properties.

The major assets of Vanbao are the Vanbao Properties located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada with a total site area of approximately 45,600 sq.ft.. The Vanbao Properties comprise a commercial building which is currently rented to a fitness club, a bungalow and two apartment buildings which are wholly or partly rented out to independent third parties. The current rental yield is low, but the Vanbao Properties can be redeveloped into a high density residential property, which the independent valuer regards as the best use of the site. After Completion, the Company would consider disposing of the Vanbao Properties in the market to a third party developer, with reference to the then market condition.

  • (1) Huadun held an interest in a subsidiary between June 2001 and February 2006. Financial statements of the subsidiary company are not available and accordingly, the consolidated financial statements could not be prepared and the post-acquisition result of the subsidiary company attributable to Huadun is not included in its income statement.

  • (2) Other revenue represented net profits arising from disposal of interests in joint property development projects.

Currently, Huadun has leased out a portion of its investment properties (the “Huadun Properties”) to tenants who are independent third parties not connected with the Company and its connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules). The turnover of Huadun during the two years ended 31 December 2005 was mainly attributable to the rental income generated from the Huadun Properties.

The major asset of Huadun is the Huadun Properties which are parcels of industrial land with a total site area of approximately 312,000 sq.m. and related buildings with a total gross floor area of approximately 37,000 sq.m. situated at Dongguan, the PRC.

5. Basis of consideration for Vanbao and Huadun

Both Vanbao and Huadun are priced largely on the basis of audited net asset value, as adjusted for the market values of their respective properties as appraised by the independent valuers. In the case of Huadun, the pricing is further adjusted by RMB3,369,000 in view of the fact that a portion of the Huadun Properties is still subject to payment of the outstanding land premium.

Notes:

  • (1) RMB44.5 million represents the market value of portion of Huadun Properties for which land use rights certificates have been obtained. In determining the consideration for Huadun, no value is ascribed to the portion of the Huadun Properties for which land use rights certificates have not been obtained, which we consider fair and reasonable to the Company.

  • (2) In determining the value for the Huadun Properties, it was agreed that a sum of RMB3,369,000 shall be deducted as the properties are still subject to payment of the outstanding land premium. It is now confirmed that the outstanding land premium will be approximately RMB3,367,500.

  • (3) Comprising motor vehicles, furniture and fixtures and office equipment.

A substantial portion of Huadun’s other receivables and other payables was due to or from the partner of a joint property development project (the “JV Partner”) who is not a connected person of the Company. As mentioned above, the joint property development project has been disposed of by Huadun.

– 23 –

APPENDIX II LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

According to the management of the Company, of the approximately RMB17.3 million other receivables, approximately RMB14.6 million has been received. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the outstanding balance of the other receivables was approximately RMB2.7 million, of which approximately RMB1.7 million was due from associates of CASC. The management of the Company expects that the outstanding balance of the other receivables due from the associates of CASC will be settled in full prior to Completion. The remaining other receivables of approximately RMB1.0 million were largely due from the JV Partner.

Pursuant to the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, CASC has warranted that since 31 December 2005, there has been no material adverse change in the business, assets and liabilities of Vanbao and Huadun.

Pursuant to the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Group agreed to share half of the tax (if any) payable by CASC to the Canadian Government as a result of disposal of Vanbao, subject to a ceiling that such amount shall not exceed HK$1.25 million. This represents approximately 0.67% of the aggregate amount of the Rich Echo Loan and East Pioneer Loan, which we consider not significant in the context of the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

6. Valuation of Vanbao Properties

The Vanbao Properties have been valued by Atkinson Appraisal Consultants Limited (the “Vanbao Valuer”) as a vacant site being eligible to be redeveloped into a high density residential property at CAD 5,695,000 as at 11 January 2006. The text of the valuation letter and certificate in relation to the Vanbao Properties is set out in Appendix III to the Circular.

In assessing the consideration for Vanbao, we have reviewed and discussed with the Vanbao Valuer the methodology of, and basis and assumptions adopted for, the valuation of the Vanbao Properties as contained in the valuation report. The Vanbao Valuer has adopted the comparison method to value the Vanbao Properties which, in our opinion, is a normal approach in establishing the market value of the Vanbao Properties. In assessing the market value of the Vanbao Properties, the Vanbao Valuer has made reference to the actual sales of comparable properties with similar size, character and location as the Vanbao Properties and made adjustments to account for certain variances.

7. Valuation of Huadun Properties

The Huadun Properties for which valid land use rights have been obtained were valued by Knight Frank Hong Kong Limited (the “Huadun Valuer”) at RMB44,500,000 or approximately HK$ 42,800,000 as at 28 February 2006. The Huadun Valuer has ascribed no value to the portion of the Huadun Properties for which valid land use right certificates have not been obtained. The text of the valuation letter and certificate in relation to the Huadun Properties is set out in Appendix III to the Circular.

– 24 –

APPENDIX II LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

In assessing the consideration for Huadun, we have reviewed and discussed with the Huadun Valuer the methodology of, and basis and assumptions adopted for, the valuation of the Huadun Properties as contained in the valuation report. The built portion of the Huadun Properties is rented out as industrial buildings and the Huadun Valuer has valued it using the investment method, which involved capitalising market rental at a rate of 10%. We understand from the Huadun Valuer that 10% is a market discount rate for PRC industrial buildings. This is, in our opinion, a normal approach for establishing the market value of the properties held for investment purpose. The remaining portion of the Huadun Properties is held for future development purpose and the Huadun Valuer has valued it with reference to the standard land prices issued by Dongguan City State-owned Land Resources Department.

As Vanbao and Huadun are property investment companies with their principal assets being their interests in the Vanbao Properties and Huadun Properties respectively, we consider the above basis in arriving at the consideration is fair and reasonable.

8. The shareholder’s loan and cash payment by CASC

CASC has provided unsecured and non-interest bearing financing to the Group since 1998. On 9 September 2005, CASC and the Company agreed to modify the terms of the shareholder’s loan granted by CASC so that it carries interest at 4.5% per annum with retrospective effect from 1 January 2005.

As disclosed in the 2005 interim report of the Company, the aggregate amount due by the Group to CASC as at 30 June 2005 amounted to approximately HK$180.6 million. Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, after the above set-off, the outstanding balance of the amount due by the Group to CASC will be reduced significantly by up to HK$80 million. Interest payable by the Company in future will decrease accordingly.

As mentioned in the paragraph headed “Introduction” above, the remaining balance of the consideration payable by CASC for acquiring the Rich Echo Loan and East Pioneer Loan will be satisfied by cash payment of not less than HK$14.9 million made by CASC to the Group (assuming no further repayment of the two loans subsequent to the Latest Practicable Date). The combined effect of the set-off of the shareholder’s loan due to CSAC and the cash payment made by CSAC to the Group will reduce the Group’s net debt by HK$94.9 million. This represents approximately 69.1% of the Group’s net debt as at 30 June 2005.

9. Financial effect on the Group

(a) Net asset value

Given the dollar-to-dollar swap of assets between the Group and CASC pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, there will not be any material effect on the net asset value of the Group upon Completion.

– 25 –

APPENDIX II LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  • (b) Earnings and cash flow

The Rich Echo Loan and East Pioneer Loan do not currently generate any interest income for the Group. On the other hand, Vanbao and Huadun are earning rental income. On this basis, completion of the Sale and Purchase Agreement will have a positive effect on the earnings and cash flow of the Group, though such effect is not expected to be material.

There will also be a reduction in interest expense as a result of the set-off of the shareholder’s loan due to CASC upon Completion.

  • (c) Reduction in net debt

The combined effect of the set-off of the shareholder’s loan due to CASC and the cash payment made by CSAC to the Group will reduce the Group’s net debt by approximately HK$94.9 million. This represents approximately 69.1% of the Group’s net debt as at 30 June 2005.

DISCUSSION

Vanbao and Huadun are property investment companies, with their principal assets being interests in the Vanbao Properties and Huadun Properties respectively. The consideration under the Sale and Purchase Agreement is based on audited net assets of those companies adjusted for valuations of the Vanbao Properties and the Huadun Properties carried out by independent valuers; and further adjusted in the case of Vanbao, for the Vanbao Shareholder’s Loan, and in the case of Huadun, for an agreed sum for payment of the outstanding land premium. We consider this a fair and reasonable basis for determining the consideration for the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

The principal amounts of the Rich Echo Loan and East Pioneer Loan are taken to be their fair values in determining the consideration for the Sale and Purchase Agreement. However, the repayment of the Rich Echo Loan and East Pioneer Loan is slow and their full recovery is, in our opinion, in doubt. On this basis, we consider the transactions contemplated under the Sale and Purchase Agreement involving the effective receipt of tangible properties and other good consideration in exchange for doubtful loans will improve the quality of the assets of the Group. Taking into account the combined effect of the set-off of the shareholder’s loan due to CASC and the cash receivable from CASC, we consider the payment terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement will also improve the net debt position of the Group.

– 26 –

APPENDIX II LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

RECOMMENDATION

Based on the above principal factors and reasons, we consider that the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the related transactions are on normal commercial terms which are fair and reasonable to the Independent Shareholders. We further consider that the entering into of the Sale and Purchase Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. We therefore advise, and recommend that the Independent Board Committee advise, the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to approve the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the related transactions contemplated thereunder to be proposed at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Yours faithfully, for and on behalf of SOMERLEY LIMITED M.N. Sabine Chairman

Dear Sirs,

Re: Assembled Development Site at 1111-11 Street S.W. and 1202-12, 1208-12, 1212-12, 1216-12, 1218-12, 1220-12, 1222-12 & 1226-12 Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada (“the Property”)

In accordance with your instruction for us to value the Property, we confirm that we have carried out title searches, inspections, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary of providing with our opinion of value of the Property as at 11 January 2006 (the “Valuation Date”).

BASIS OF VALUATION

Our valuation of the Property is our opinion of the market value of the Property concerned which we would define as intended to mean “the highest price in terms of money which a property will bring if exposed for sale in the open market, allowing a reasonable time to find a purchaser, who buys with knowledge of all the uses to which it can be adapted and for which it is capable of being used and assuming the price is not adversely affected by undue stimulus

  • A. Buyer and Seller typically motivated.

  • B. Both parties are well informed, or well advised, and each acting in what he considers to be his own best interest.

APPENDIX III

  • C. A reasonable amount of time allowed for exposure in the open market.

  • D. Payment is made in cash, or its equivalent.

  • E. Financing, if any, is on terms generally available in the community at the specified time, at the specified date, and typical for the type of property in its locale;

  • F. The price represents a normal consideration for the property sold, unaffected by special financing amounts, and/or terms, services, fees, costs or credits incurred in the transaction.

Our valuation has been prepared in accordance the relevant provisions in the Companies Ordinance and the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (Main Board) and in conformity with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice published by Appraisal Institute of Canada.

VALUATION METHODOLOGIES

The Property is valued by the comparison method of valuation on the assumption that the Property can be sold with the benefit of vacant possession. The property is valued with consideration to our highest and best use analysis and is valued as a vacant site which is considered as being eligible for development to a high density residential use. Comparisons based on prices realised on actual sales of comparable properties have been made. Comparable properties with similar sizes, character, locations and so on are analyzed and carefully weighted against all respective advantages and disadvantages of the Property in order to arrive at fair comparison of values.

TITLE INVESTIGATIONS

We have not been given copies of relevant title documents but we have caused title searches at the South Alberta Land Registration District Office. Moreover we are not qualified legal council and therefore are not able to comment upon the property titles or registrations or verify the ownership nor to verify any lease amendments which may not appear on the titles or other such documentation.

VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

Our valuations have been made on the assumption that the Property is sold in the market without any effect of deferred term contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any other similar arrangement which might serve to affect the value of the Property. In addition, no account has been taken of any option or right of pre-emption concerning or affecting the sale of the Property.

– 29 –

APPENDIX III

VALUATION REPORT

In valuing the Property concerned, we have assumed that the owner of the Property have free and uninterrupted rights to use and assign the property.

No site investigation has been carried out to determine the suitability of the ground conditions or the services for any property development to be erected thereon. Our valuation is carried out on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory. We have also assumed that all consents, approvals and licenses from relevant government authorities for the development proposals will be granted without onerous conditions or delay.

Other special assumptions of the Property, if any, have been stated in the footnotes of the valuation certificate for the Property.

VALUATION CONSIDERATION

We have inspected the exterior and wherever possible, the interior of the Property included in the attached valuation certificate. During the course of our inspection, we noted that the bungalow residence (1216-12 Avenue SW) and the two apartment structures (1222 & 1226-12 Avenue SW) are in below average/fair to poor condition generally. However, no structural survey has been made and we are therefore unable to report as to whether the Property is free from rot, infestation or other defects. No tests were carried out on any of the services.

Having examined all relevant documentation, we have relied to a considerable extent on the information given to us, particularly in respect of easements, tenure, site areas, gross floor areas and rentable areas.

Unless otherwise stated, all dimensions, measurements and areas included in our valuation certificate are based on the information contained in the documents provided by the Group and are therefore approximations. We have no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us and we have been advised by the Group that no material facts have been omitted from the information provided.

We have not carried out on-site measurements to verify the correctness of the site area in respect of the Property concerned but we have assumed that the site areas and measurements taken from the land titles documents and from the information supplied by the City of Calgary are correct.

No allowance has been made in our valuations for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the Property nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, we have assumed that the Property is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect its value.

The Directors

China Aerospace International Holdings Limited 17/F., China Aerospace Centre No. 143 Hoi Bun Road Kwun Tong Kowloon Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

In accordance with your instructions for us to value those property interests in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) held by (Dongguan Huadun Enterprises Limited*) (“Huadun”) which are intended to be injected into China Aerospace International Holdings Limited (the “Company”), we confirm that we have carried out inspections, made relevant enquiries and searches and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of respective market values of the property interests as at 28 February 2006.

Our valuations are our opinion of the market values and here we would define market value as “the estimated amount for which a property 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.”

– 33 –

APPENDIX III

VALUATION REPORT

According to the Company, the properties were transferred from an affiliate of Huadun in 2003. In July 2004, CASC acquired Huadun at a consideration of approximately RMB31,301,000.

For property in Group I which is held for investment, we have valued the property by capitalizing the market rent of the property with the market yield for this type of property. The current market rent of the property is assessed through comparable lettings in the locality and then such market rent is capitalized using a market yield to derive the market value of the property. This valuation method does not constitute a profit forecast.

For properties in Group II which is held for future development, the properties are valued by reference to standard land prices in the locality issued by Dongguan City State-owned Land Resources Department.

We have relied to a considerable extent on the information provided by the Company and CASC (being a controlling shareholder and connected person of the Company) and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenure, occupancy, lettings, identification of properties, site and floor areas. We have not carried out detailed site measurements to verify the correctness of the site areas in respect of the properties but have assumed that the site areas as advised by the Company are correct. All documents and contracts have been used as reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximations.

We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the interior of the property. However, no structural survey, investigation or examinations have been made, but in the course of our inspections we did not note any serious defects. We are not, however, able to report whether the properties are free from rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No tests were carried out to any of the services.

We have not carried out investigations on site to determine the suitability of the ground conditions and the services etc. for the developments. Our valuations are prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary expenses or delays will be incurred during the construction period.

No allowance has been made in our report for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the properties. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions, and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect their values.

In valuing the properties which are all situated in the PRC, we have relied on the opinion dated 8 March 2006 of the Company’s PRC legal adviser, Guangdong Li Guo Lawyers Office, regarding the titles to the properties held by Huadun which also confirms that the title of the properties is capable of being sold to the Company. For portion of Property No. 1, we have assumed that the transferable land use rights in respect of the property for a specific term at nominal annual land use fees have been granted and that any premium payable has already been fully paid. We have also assumed that the grantee of the property has free and uninterrupted right to occupy, use and assign the property interest for the whole of the unexpired terms as granted.

APPENDIX III

VALUATION REPORT

We have had no reason to doubt the authenticity and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Company. We have also sought and received confirmation from the Company that no material factors have been omitted from the information supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view, and have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld.

The property valuation complies with the requirements set out in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Listing Rules of Hong Kong Stock Exchange and Clearing Company Limited and Valuation Standards on Properties (First Edition 2005) of The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.

Unless otherwise stated, all sums stated in this report are in Renminbi.

Save as disclosed below, as at the Latest Practicable Date, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries was engaged in any litigation or arbitration or claim of material importance and, so far as the Directors were aware, no litigation or claims of material importance are pending or threatened by or against any member of the Group.

CASIL Clearing was named as a defendant in a litigation in respect of an alleged breach of a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) in failing to advance the full amount of HK$330,000,000 to an independent third party company (the “Borrower”) in 1997. Concurrently, CASIL Clearing resisted the claim and counterclaimed against the Borrower and sued against its guarantor upon default on, including but not limited to, interest and payment under the loan amount advanced under the Loan Agreement and the mortgage (the “CASIL Clearing’s Litigation”).

On 30 July 2004, the Court judged that the Borrower was entitled to damages consequent upon CASIL Clearing’s breach of the Loan Agreement. However, CASIL Clearing was also entitled to repayment of principal outstanding under the Loan Agreement and interest thereon according to the terms of the Loan Agreement and to the judgment against both the owners of the pledged assets under the mortgage and the guarantor under the guarantee. As at the Latest Practicable Date, CASIL Clearing and the Borrower have not yet arranged for a date for further directions as to the assessment of damages. The aforesaid information had been disclosed in the Company’s 2004 annual report.

As advised by the Company’s legal advisers, CASIL Clearing will probably be entitled to substantive judgment on its claim against the Borrower. The compensation to be made to the Borrower and the loan principal and interest to be received by CASIL Clearing has not yet been concluded by the Borrower as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The Borrower, its directors, and its substantial shareholder and chairman are all independent third parties.
