LETTER FROM THE BOARD

On 2 May 2018 (after trading hours), Unisplendour Investment, an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Sino IC Leasing and Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing (formally known as Unisplendour Si-Cloud Financial Leasing Co., Ltd.(紫光芯雲融資租賃有限公司)) entered into the capital increase agreement (the “ Capital Increase Agreement* ”), pursuant to which Sino IC Leasing conditionally agreed to subscribe for the additional registered capital of Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing. The transactions contemplated under the Capital Increase Agreement was approved at the special general meeting held on 7 August 2018. After the completion of such transactions, Sino IC Leasing holds 51% equity interest in Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing, while the Group’s equity interest in Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing decreases to 49%. As such, Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing changed from a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company to an associate of the Company and ceased to be consolidated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

THE PROPOSED DISPOSAL

On 1 April 2021 (after trading hours), Unisplendour Investment and Sino IC Leasing entered into the Equity Transfer Agreement. Pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreement, Unisplendour Investment (as the seller) has conditionally agreed to sell, and Sino IC Leasing (as the purchaser) has conditionally agreed to purchase, the 48% equity interest of Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing at an consideration of RMB211,110,295.37. Upon Completion, the equity interest held by Unisplendour Investment and Sino IC Leasing in Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing will be 1% and 99%, respectively. Prior to and after the Completion, Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing is and will continue be an associate of the Company.

The main purpose of this circular is to provide the Shareholders with further information regarding (i) details of the Proposed Disposal, (ii) financial information of the Group and (iii) other information as required under the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Consideration

The Consideration for the Sale Shares shall be RMB211,110,295.37 (equivalent to approximately HK$250.23 million). The Consideration will be paid in cash by Sino IC Leasing to Unisplendour Investment within thirty (30) Business Days upon the fulfillment or waiver of the conditions precedent of the Equity Transfer Agreement.

Basis of the Consideration

The Consideration was determined after arms’ length negotiations between Unisplendour Investment and Sino IC Leasing with reference to the audited consolidated net asset value of Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing as at 31 January 2021 and a valuation report prepared by the Valuer in relation to the valuation of Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing as at 31 January 2021 (the “ Asset Valuation Report ”). The Valuer is a qualified asset appraisal firm authorised by the Ministry of Finance of the PRC to perform valuation works in the PRC since August 1994.

Reasons for the difference between audited book value and appraised value of Sino IC

(Shenzhen) Leasing

As advised by the Valuer, the difference between the audited book value (on a non-consolidated basis) and the appraised value of Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing is mainly attributable to long-term equity investments in its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sino IC Commercial Factoring (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (芯鑫商業保理(深圳)有限責任公司) (“ Sino IC Commercial Factoring* ”). Although Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing recorded an investment cost in Sino IC Commercial Factoring of RMB100 million, given that Sino IC Commercial Factoring is profit making, the net asset value of Sino IC Commercial Factoring has increased to RMB109.7678 million. As a result, the appraised value of the long-term equity investments in Sino IC Commercial Factoring has increased accordingly. For the details of the appraisal results of the Asset Valuation Report, please refer to the section headed "X. Appraisal Conclusions"in Appendix III to this circular.

Technical idea and model of asset-based method

The Asset Valuation Report has adopted the asset-based approach, which is a valuation technical idea for determining of value of the object of valuation by totaling the value of assets and liabilities as determined by appropriate specific valuation method selected according to the specific circumstance, on the basis of the investment amount required by independent profit-making enterprise established with the same off balance sheet and on balance sheet assets and liabilities as those of the target of valuation on the base date of assets valuation. Asset-based method is based on: (1) the value of the target of valuation, depending on the market cost value of the total assets of the enterprise; and (2) the value of the individual assets and portfolio of the entire assets of the enterprise, affected by their respective contribution to the enterprise.

Calculation formula of asset-based method

Value of total equities = value of total assets of the enterprise - value of total liabilities

−6 −

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Value of total assets of the enterprise = value of on balance sheet assets + value of off balance sheet assets

Value of total liabilities = value of on balance sheet liabilities + value of off balance sheet liabilities.

Major Assumptions of the Asset Valuation Report

In conducting the valuation of the total equity interest of Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing, the Valuer has made the following major assumptions:

  • (i) the assets to be appraised can be transacted in the open market to realize its market value, and the willing buyers and sellers who are equal to have the opportunities and time to gain sufficient market information, whereby the transaction is conducted on a willing and rational basis;

  • (ii) the valuation is based on the assumption of continuous operation of Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing;

  • (iii) there will be no material change in the existing political, legal, technological, fiscal or economic conditions, which might adversely affect the business of the Company;

  • (iv) there will be no material changes in government policies regarding interest rate, exchange rate, tax basis and tax rate;

  • (v) there will be no force majeure factors or unexpected conditions associated with the assets valued that might adversely affect the reported values;

  • (vi) there will be no material changes in accounting standards in compilation of financial statements of Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing;

  • (vii) the management style, strategic planning and principal activities of Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing will be maintained; and

  • (viii) the key management are all competent and responsible.

The Board believe that these key assumptions are generally adopted in similar valuation activities and are necessary for the Valuer to arrive at a reasonable estimated valuation of the total equity interest of Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing. The Board is therefore satisfied that the abovementioned major assumptions are fair and reasonable in relation to the Asset Valuation Report.

For further details of the asset valuation report, please refer to “Appendix III — Asset Valuation Report of Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing” to this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Mr. Du Yang, an executive Director and chairman of the Board, is the legal representative, chairman and general manager of Sino IC Leasing. Mr. Yuan I-Pei, an executive Director is an executive vice president of Sino IC Leasing and a director of Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing. Mr. Xia Yuan, an executive Director and chief executive officer of the Company, is an executive vice president of Sino IC Leasing and the legal representative and chairmen of Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing. In view of Mr. Du Yang, Mr. Yuan I-Pei and Mr. Xia Yuan’s positions in Sino IC Leasing and/or Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing, and for the avoidance of any potential conflict of interest, the afore-mentioned three directors abstained from voting at the meeting of the Board in relation to approval of the Equity Transfer Agreement.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief and having made all reasonable enquiries, saved as disclosed above, Sino IC Leasing and its ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of the Company and its connected persons.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSED DISPOSAL

As disclosed in the annual results announcement of the Company dated 31 March 2021, the Company issued zero coupon convertible bonds with face value of HK$148,000,000 to Unis Strategy Investment Company, a former controlling shareholder of the Company, on 30 May 2016. The bonds shall be matured in five years from the date of issue (i.e. 30 May 2021) at their face value of HK$148,000,000 or converted into ordinary shares of the Company at HK$0.4 per share (subject to adjustment) by the holder before the maturity date of the bonds.

In order to repay the aforementioned convertible bonds, the Company (through Unisplendour Investment) commenced negotiation with Sino IC Leasing in November 2020 to explore the possibility of further disposing the remaining equity interest held by the Company. During the course of negotiation of the Proposed Disposal, Sino IC Leasing requested Unisplendour Investment, a company incorporated in Hong Kong, to retain 1% equity interest in Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing in order to maintain the sino-foreign equity joint venture status of Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing. Therefore, the Company (through Unisplendour Investment) accepted the proposal in order to facilitate the Proposed Disposal.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has no intention to dispose of the remaining 1% equity interest in Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing after the completion of the Proposed Disposal.

Sino IC (Shenzhen) recorded losses and had only few business activities in 2018. This lowered the desirability for the potential investors to acquire equity interests in Sino IC (Shenzhen). After Sino IC Leasing became the controlling shareholder upon the completion of the Capital Increase Agreement in 2018, Sino IC Leasing assisted Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing to develop its finance leasing business by transferring some of its existing finance leasing projects to Sino IC (Shenzhen). Since then, the finance leasing business of Sino IC (Shenzhen) has gradually developed which led to a significant improvement of the revenue and profit after tax of Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing for the year ended 31 December 2020.

−11 −

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In recent years, the Company’s business focus has been further extended to the existing SMT equipment manufacturing and semiconductor business, and it also actively explores the development, management and operation of the science and technology industrial park to expand new revenue and profit sources for the Company. In the future, the Company will continue to invest its resources in the above-mentioned business areas.

As such, the Group proposes to gradually adjust the development strategy by disposing non-core business such as finance leasing and re-allocating its resources to the above-mentioned business areas. The Proposed Disposal will benefit the Company to activate its existing assets, optimise its capital structure, re-allocate its resources and bring driving forces to the Company’s main and new businesses.

In addition, the Proposed Disposal will also generate immediate cashflow for the repayment of the convertible bonds which will be matured on 30 May 2021.

As such, the Company is of the view that it is the right timing to dispose its interests in Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing.

Taking into consideration of the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors except those Directors who had abstained from voting at the meeting of the Board) are of the view that the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement are made on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

USE OF PROCEEDS FROM THE PROPOSED DISPOSAL

The net cash proceeds (net of estimated taxes and transaction costs) from the Proposed Disposal is expected to be approximately RMB210,155,575.60 (equivalent to approximately HK$249.10 million), which the Company intends to use for, including but not limited to, (i) repayment of its debts (accounted for approximately 59.4%), (ii) development, management and operation of the science and technology industrial parks (accounted for approximately 28.2%), and (iii) general working capital (accounted for approximately 12.4%).

The Directors will continuously assess the expected use of proceeds as set out in this circular and may revise or amend such plans where necessary, to cope with the changing market conditions and strive for better business performance for the Group. The Company shall publish further announcement in accordance with the Listing Rules and/or any applicable laws as and when appropriate.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED DISPOSAL

Upon Completion, the equity interest held by Unisplendour Investment in Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing will decease from 49% to 1%. Prior to and after the Completion, Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing is and will continue be an associate of the Company.

−12 −

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As the Latest Practicable Date, it is estimated the Group will realise a net gain on the Proposed Disposal of approximately RMB7.64 million (net of estimated taxes and transaction costs), which is calculated by reference to the difference between the consideration of RMB211,110,295.37 and the 48% equity attributable to the Company in Sino IC (Shenzhen) Leasing as at 31 January 2021 (i.e. approximately RMB202,513,094.05). As Sino IC (Shenzhen) has ceased to be consolidated into the Group’s consolidated financial statements since the completion of the former deemed disposal in 2018, the Completion of the Proposed Disposal will have no impact on the liabilities of the Group, while the assets of the Group will increase by approximately RMB7.64 million (equivalent to approximately HK$9.16 million) due to the recognition of net gain arising from the Proposed Disposal. The actual financial impact of the Proposed Disposal to be recognised by the Group is subject to audit and will be reassessed after the Completion.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratio(s) (as defined in the Listing Rules) exceed(s) 25% but is less than 75%, the Proposed Disposal constitutes a major transaction of the Company and is therefore subject to reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements pursuant to Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, save for Sino Xin Ding who is owned as to approximately 50.1% by UNIC Capital which is in turn owned as to approximately 49.5% by Sino IC Leasing, no other shareholder has a material interest in the Proposed Disposal and accordingly, no Shareholder save for Sino Xing Ding and its close associate is required to abstain from voting at the SGM for the approval of the Proposed Disposal, the Equity Transfer Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereunder.

SGM

The SGM Notice convening the SGM to be held at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, 26 May 2021 at Meeting Room 6, 558 Shibo Avenue, Pudong New District, Shanghai, China (or any adjournment thereof) is set out on pages SGM-1 to SGM-2 of this circular.

A form of proxy for the SGM is enclosed herewith. Whether or not you are able to attend the SGM, Shareholders are requested to complete the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the Company’s Hong Kong branch share registrar and transfer office, Tricor Tengis Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as practicable and in any event not later than forty-eight (48) hours before the time appointed for the holding of the SGM (or any adjournment thereof). Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting in person at the SGM (or any adjournment thereof) should he/she so desire and in such event the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.

VII. Appraisal Approach

  • (i) Introduction to appraisal approach

The income approach in enterprise value appraisal refers to the appraisal approach that capitalises or discounts expected revenue to determine the value of the appraisal target.

The market approach in enterprise value appraisal refers to the appraisal approach that compares the appraisal target with comparable listed companies or comparable transaction cases to determine the value of the appraisal target.

−III-7 −

APPENDIX III ASSET VALUATION REPORT OF SINO IC (SHENZHEN) LEASING

The asset-based approach in enterprise value appraisal refers to the appraisal approach that uses the balance sheet of the appraised entity as at the appraisal date as the basis for appraising the value of various on-balance sheet and identifiable off-balance sheet assets and liabilities to determine the value of the appraisal target.

(ii) Analysis of Applicability of Appraisal Approach

When executing enterprise value appraisal business, asset appraisal professionals should analyse the applicability of the three basic approaches, namely the income approach, the market approach and the cost approach (asset-based approach), and select the appraisal approach based on the purpose of the appraisal, the target of the appraisal, the type of value and the collection of information, etc.

Based on the characteristics of the economic activity corresponding to the purpose of this appraisal and the operation information of the enterprise collected at the appraisal site, considering that the appraised entity’s main income is derived from businesses such as financing leasing, and considering that the proportion of its business sources from related parties is large, and that the impact of the epidemic on its business cannot be taken into account in future annual forecasts, there is uncertainty about new financing leasing projects in future years, and the basis for future operating results cannot be accurately obtained, the enterprise is unable to make effective forecasts of the overall future operating conditions and cash flows, therefore, the income approach is not appropriate for the appraisal of this project.

Due to the lack of comparable enterprises in the current domestic capital market that are relatively similar or comparable to the appraised enterprises; and the lack of or difficulty in obtaining cases of equity transactions of similar enterprises due to the underdeveloped equity transactions market, therefore, the market approach is not appropriate for the appraisal of this project.

The appraisal results of the asset-based approach are mainly determined on the basis of the updated replacement cost of various assets and liabilities of the enterprise as at the appraisal date, which has a high degree of reliability, and there are no assets or liabilities that are difficult to identify and appraise in this appraisal, therefore, the asset-based approach is appropriate for the appraisal of this project.

(iii) Technical Idea and Model for Asset-based Approach

The asset-based approach adopted for this project is an appraisal technique idea for determining the value of an appraisal target, by using the amount of investment required to reconstruct an independently profitable enterprise with the same on- and off-balance sheet assets and liabilities as those of the appraisal target as at the appraisal date, as a basis for determining the value of the enterprise’s overall assets to add up the appraisal value of the assets and liabilities of the various elements that make up the enterprise determined by specific appraisal approaches appropriate to the specific circumstances.

−III-8 −

APPENDIX III ASSET VALUATION REPORT OF SINO IC (SHENZHEN) LEASING

Asset-based Approach Appraisal Value Calculation Formula:

value of all shareholder equity interests = value of total assets of the enterprise - value of total liabilities

value of total assets of the enterprise = value of each on-balance sheet asset + value of each off-balance sheet asset

value of total liabilities of the enterprise = value of each on-balance sheet liability + value of each off-balance sheet liability

  • (iv) Appraisal Process of Asset-based Approach

  • Current assets

Include: monetary funds, prepayment, other receivables, non-current assets due within one year and other current assets.

  • (1) Monetary funds

Include: bank deposits. The appraisal value is determined at the verified book value for this appraisal.

  • (2) Receivables

Include: prepayment and other receivables.

Based on the original occurrence of each receivable, and based on the evidence sought to determine the bad debt loss, this appraisal analyses and tests the bad debt loss rate, and determines the appraised value by deducting the estimated appraised risk loss of the receivables according to the ageing analysis method, the individual determination method and the estimated risk loss method respectively.

The provision for bad debt is a provision made by the enterprise in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Enterprises and is determined at nil value in this appraisal.

  • (3) Non-current assets due within one year

It is the rent receivables and the appraised value is determined at the verified book value in this appraisal.

  • (4) Other current assets

It is input VAT to be deducted, etc., the appraised value is determined at the verified book value in this valuation.

−III-9 −

APPENDIX III ASSET VALUATION REPORT OF SINO IC (SHENZHEN) LEASING

  1. Non-current assets

  2. (1) Long-term receivables

They are mainly rent receivables with payment terms of 360 days or more. This appraisal determines the appraised value, based on the probable recoverable amount of each payment, by analysing and testing the bad debt loss rate in accordance with the evidence sought to determine the bad debt loss, and by deducting the estimated bad debt loss on the receivables according to the ageing analysis method, the individual determination method and the estimated risk loss method respectively.

(2) Long-term equity investment

In accordance with the requirements of the appraisal standards and the subsidiary’s own operating conditions, the appraisal analyses the applicability of the asset-based approach, the income approach and the market approach to the subsidiary’s overall enterprise assets and selectes an appropriate appraisal approach for the appraisal. Finally, the appraised value of the long-term equity investment is determined based on the shareholding ratio of Sino IC Leasing (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. in it.

(3) Fixed assets - equipment category

Most of the machinery equipments are single units and do not have overall profitability; it is not possible to find comparable references in the current market that are identical and similar, therefore, the cost approach is appropriate for this appraisal.

The cost approach refers to various appraisal approaches in which the replacement cost of the appraised asset is first estimated and then various depreciation factors already present in the appraised asset are estimated and deducted from the replacement cost to arrive at the value of the appraised asset.

Appraised value = Replacement cost x Determination of replacement cost for composite newness rate

Electronic equipment for office use and other equipment are quoted through the market to determine the purchase price and determine the replacement cost.

Replacement cost = purchase price - input tax

Determination of general or low value equipment newness rate:

Newness rate = (economic life years - used years) / economic life years x 100%

−III-10 −

APPENDIX III ASSET VALUATION REPORT OF SINO IC (SHENZHEN) LEASING

  • (4) Right-of-use asset

It is the net book value of the leased property determined by the enterprise in accordance with the relevant provisions of the new lease standards. For the right-of-use assets of the appraised entity, the appraised value is determined at the verified book value.

(5) Long-term deferred expense

It is the expense of office fit-out, the appraised value is determined in accordance with the amortisation period specified in the accounting policy, taking into account the value of these assets to match future revenue.

(6) Deferred income tax asset

It is deferred asset that is determined against enterprise income tax liabilities in subsequent periods for the purpose of asset impairment provisions, and the appraised value is determined at the verified book value.

3. Liabilities

These are current and non-current liabilities. These include: payroll payable, tax payable, other payables, non-current liabilities due within one year, long-term borrowings, lease liabilities and long-term payables.

This appraisal determines the appraised value based on the actual debt repayable after verification.
