After the Disposal, the Subsidiary ceased to have any interest in the PRC Company and the PRC Company ceased to be a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

As the applicable percentage ratio in respect of the transaction contemplated under the Agreement exceeded 5% but was below 25%, the Agreement constituted a discloseable transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

THE AGREEMENT

Pursuant to the Agreement between the Subsidiary and the Purchaser, the Subsidiary has sold and the Purchaser has purchased 51% equity interest in the PRC Company. The principal terms of the Agreement are set out below:

Date:

31 March 2011

Vendor: The Subsidiary

1

Purchaser: The Purchaser. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, the Purchaser is a third party independent of the Company and he is not a connected person of the Company.

Subject matter:

  • 51% equity interest in the PRC Company representing the registered capital of RMB10,200,000 of the PRC Company

Consideration:

RMB10,200,000. The Purchaser shall pay the Subsidiary upon the completion of the registration for the change of shareholding and the name of the PRC Company by way of offsetting the Debt Consideration

After the Disposal, the Subsidiary ceased to have any interest in the PRC Company and the PRC Company ceased to be a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The terms of the Agreement were arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the contracting parties. The Consideration was determined by reference to the carrying value of the PRC Company. The Directors are of the view that the terms of the Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the shareholders of the Company as a whole.

INFORMATION OF THE GROUP AND THE PRC COMPANY

The principal activities of the Group consist of design, manufacturing and sale of production lines and production equipment as well as of trading and distribution of brand name production equipment.

The PRC Company was established in November 2010 with the registered capital of RMB 20,000,000. The registered capital was contributed as to RMB 10,200,000 by the Subsidiary which owned 51% equity interests in the PRC Company before the Disposal.

The PRC Company was principally engaged in, among others, developing, manufacturing and selling (a) automated production lines for electronic products, (b) automated warehouses for the logistic industry, (c) cleaning facilities for compressors and vehicle parts, (d) production lines for assembling vehicle parts.

According to the audited financial statements of the PRC Company, the audited net asset value of the PRC Company was approximately RMB 19,882,000 as at 28 February 2011.

After the Disposal, the Group will continue the aforesaid business and keep on exploring business opportunities in the automated production facilities sector of the PRC

REASONS AND BENEFITS FOR THE TRANSACTION

The PRC Company was established in November 2010 with the aim that the Group in cooperation with the joint venture partner, who is familiar with the local markets in western China, could extend its production automation business to the western markets of China.

However, due to the difference in views over development strategy of the PRC Company between the Group and the joint venture partner, the PRC Company did not achieve the aim and was operated at an audited loss of approximately RMB 118,000 for the four months ended 28 February 2011.

As such, the Group decided to terminate the joint venture arrangement and dispose of the equity interests in the PRC Company.

Based on the carrying value of 51% equity interest in the PRC Company as at 28 February 2011, which amounted to approximately RMB10,140,000, the Company realized a gain of approximately RMB 54,000 from the Disposal.

IMPLICATIONS OF THE LISTING RULES

As one of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) is more than 5% but less than 25%, the transaction contempleted under the Agreement constituted a discloseable transaction pursuant to Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
