LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Remaining Group as at 30 June 2011 as set out in Appendix IV to this circular, it is expected that a gain before tax of approximately HK$154.6 million, being the estimated net cash proceeds of approximately HK$185.8 million for the Sale Share and the Hangzhou Sale Shares (after payment of professional fees and other related expenses) and the fair value of the remaining 4% equity interest in the Operating Company of approximately HK$17.6 million, net of the net asset value of the Target Company and the Operating Company attributable to the Group in aggregate of approximately HK$72.2 million as at 30 June 2011, together with the release of the exchange fluctuation reserve of the Group relating to the Target Company and the Operating Company of approximately HK$23.4 million as at 30 June 2011, would have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements of the Company had the Disposals been completed on 30 June 2011.
The net proceeds from the Disposals (after payment of professional fees and other related expenses) are estimated to be of approximately HK$352.6 million. The Company intends to apply the net proceeds from the Disposals as to (i) 30% for the business development and expansion for the new business segment originated from the completion of the Acquisition; (ii) as to 30% for general working capital of the Group; and (iii) as to 40% for future acquisition opportunities that are in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. As at the Latest Practicable Date, no such opportunity has been identified.
The abovementioned financial effects are shown for illustrative purpose only and the actual gain eventually to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements of the Company depends on the net asset value of the Target Company as at the Completion Date and the net asset value of the Operating Company as at the date of Hangzhou Completion.
REASONS FOR THE DISPOSALS
The Company is an investment holding company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the generation and sale of electric and steam power, and the aero-technology related business, including the share of profit from the development, manufacture and distribution of helicopters. The Company also plans to develop in the textile business upon completion of the Acquisition, details of which are disclosed in the announcement and the circular of the Company dated 21 September 2011 and 17 November 2011 respectively. The Acquisition constitutes a major transaction and possible connected transaction of the Company and was approved by the Shareholders at the special general meeting held by the Company on 5 December 2011. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Acquisition is yet to be completed pending the fulfillment of certain conditions precedent.
The Group has been exploring investment opportunities across various businesses and industries. The Directors consider that the Disposals represent a good opportunity for the Group to realise its investments in the business of generation and sale of electric and steam power and to invest in businesses in other industries, including but not limited to, the consumer goods industry to which the Acquisition is related or projects in the aviation and aero-related industry with better growth prospects, with an aim to restructure its business portfolio and to increase Shareholders’ value.

For the year ended 31 December 2010, the Group recorded a turnover of approximately HK$274.4 million, representing an increase of approximately 19.9% compared to approximately HK$228.8 million recorded for the previous year. The increase is mainly attributable to the increase in the revenue from electric and steam power supply segment due to the increase in the sales volume and average selling price of steam power. The profit attributable to equity holders of the parent also increased from approximately HK$23.8 million in 2009 to approximately HK$36.1 million in 2010, representing an increase of approximately 51.7%. Such increase is mainly due to the improved contribution from the electric and steam power supply segment and the gain on partial disposal of investment in a jointly-controlled entity.

The increase in net current assets of the Group were mainly resulted from the decrease in trade and bills payables during the same year while increase in the net assets of the Group were mainly due to the increase in the investment in a jointly-controlled entity and available-for-sale investments. In April 2010, Billirich Investment Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the subscription agreement with Sino Gas Group Limited (“Sino Gas”) for the subscription of 80,000,000 shares of Sino Gas at HK$0.377 each, allowing the Group to further invest in and maintain percentage shareholding interest of the Company in Sino Gas.
For the six months ended 30 June 2011, the Group recorded a turnover of approximately HK$143.6 million, representing an increase of approximately 11.4% compared to approximately HK$128.9 million recorded for the previous respective period. The increase is mainly attributable to the increase in the revenue from electric and steam power supply segment due to the increase in the average selling price of steam power. The overall financial performance also improved from a net loss of approximately HK$3.2 million for the six months ended 30 June 2010 to a net profit of approximately HK$14.6 million for the six months ended 30 June 2011. Such improvement is mainly due to the increase in share of profit of a jointly-controlled entity.

from approximately HK$7.6 million to approximately HK$7.2 million, representing a decrease of approximately 5.3% as compared to the previous respective period.

3. Reasons for the Disposals
As stated in the paragraphs under the section headed “Information on the Target Group and the Operating Company” above, the Operating Company, being the subject of the Disposals, is principally engaged in the generation and sale of electric and steam power in the Linping industrial region of Hangzhou in the PRC, with its revenue all generated from customers in the PRC. Despite the profitable track record of the Operating Company for the two years ended 31 December 2010, the growth of the Operating Company has slowed down, recording a decline in the earnings for the six months ended 30 June 2011 as compared to the previous corresponding period. According to information released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the total conventional thermal electricity net generation of the PRC, of which conventional thermal electricity is generated by an electric power plant using coal, petroleum or gas as its source of energy, has been increasing at a slower pace as shown in the following table:
Table 4: Total conventional thermal electricity net generation in the PRC from 2005 to 2009

As discussed with the management of the Group, it is noted that the performance of the generation and sale of electric and steam power business of the Operating Company with power plants fuelled by coal is highly dependent on, among others, the coal price, which has been increasing rapidly due to the growing demand of coal in the recent years. In addition, according to the white paper “中國應對氣候變化的政策與行動” (PRC’s policies and actions on climate change*) issued by the Central People’s Government of the People’s Republic of China in November 2011, the PRC government has been aiming to slow down the climate change through various policies including, but not limited to, the promotion and the development of the usage of low-carbon energy such as nuclear energy and hydro-electric power to replace the high-carbon energy such as coal-fired power, since its Eleventh Five-Year Plan and such policies will continue in its Twelfth Five-Year Plan. In view of the various uncertainties encountered by the coal-fired electric and steam power industry in the PRC, and after taking into account that a gain before tax of approximately HK$154.6 million is expected to be recognized assuming the Disposals had been completed on 30 June 2011, we consider that the Disposals allow the Group to capture the gain of its investment in generation and sale of electric and steam power business, while at the same time to release its management resources

from the Target Company and Operating Company for better allocation on other business which would bring higher return to the Shareholders.
The net proceeds from the Disposals (after payment of professional fees and other related expenses) are estimated to be of approximately HK$352.6 million and are intended to be applied as to (i) 30% for the business development and expansion for the new business segment originated from completion of the Acquisition; (ii) as to 30% for general working capital of the Group; and (iii) as to 40% for future acquisition opportunities that are in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. The Deposit of HK$20 million has been settled by the Purchaser in cash on 4 November 2011 and further payment of approximately HK$135.0 million will be settled at Completion. With such immediate realization of cash, the Disposals will enable the Company to strengthen its cash flow and liquidity position and increase the general working capital for other business of the Company. As noted from the Letter from the Board, the Group has been exploring investment opportunities across various businesses and industries, including but not limited to, the consumer goods industry to which the Acquisition is related or projects in the aviation and aero-related industry in the PRC. Given the company under the Acquisition is principally engaged in the production and distribution of knitting and textile products, knitted fabrics and clothing in the PRC, we have conducted researches from public domains on the consumer goods industry relating to the textile business and the aviation and aero-related industry in the PRC:
Consumer goods industry relating to the textile business
According to the Statistical Communique of the People’s Republic of China on the 2010 National Economic and Social Development issued on 28 February 2011, the growth of value added of the industrial enterprises above designated size for textile industry in 2010 was 11.6%, which is higher than that for the production and supply of electric power and heat power of 11.0%. Furthermore, the coal-fired electric and steam power industry in the PRC, which the Target Group is principally engaged in, has been growing at a slower pace as discussed above. Based on the China Statistical Yearbook 2011 issued by National Bureau of Statistics of China in October 2011, the per annual consumption expenditure on clothing has been increasing from RMB1,165.9 in 2008 to RMB1,284.2 in 2009 and to RMB1,444.3 in 2010, representing approximately an increase of approximately 10.1% in 2009 and approximately 12.5% in 2010 and the composition of per capita annual consumption on clothing also increased from 10.37% in 2008 to 10.47% in 2009 and to 10.72% in 2010, both showing an increasing trend of the consumption on clothing in the PRC. It is expected that population in the PRC are more willing to spend on clothing, leading to a growing demand of the consumer goods relating to textile and clothing business. With the extensive industrial experience and established customer base of the acquisition target, we are of the view that the prospect of the knitting and textile business in relation to the Acquisition is optimistic.
Aviation and aero-related industry
According to the report released by the Civil Aviation Administration of China regarding the Twelfth Five-Year Plan for the period of 2011-2015 on the PRC civil

LETTER FROM GOLDIN FINANCIAL
aviation industry, the total air traffic increased to 53.8 billion ton-kilometers in 2010, representing a compounded annual growth rate of approximately 15.6% since 2005. It is estimated that the total air traffic would increase to approximately 99.0 billion ton-kilometers in 2015. In addition to the growing consumption of the air traffic, in March 2011, the PRC government announced that it would promote the development of the general aviation industry in its Twelfth Five-Year Plan for the period of 2011-2015. Being highlighted as one of the strategic emerging industries to be developed, we are of the view that the prospect of the aviation and aero-related industry in the PRC is expected to be optimistic, as compared to the coal-fired electric and steam power industry in the PRC which is rather uncertain as analysed above.
Having considered (i) the Disposals allow the Group to capture the gain of its investment in generation and sale of electric and steam power business; (ii) the Disposals allow the Group to release its management resources from the Target Company and Operating Company for better allocation on other business which would bring higher return to the Shareholders; (iii) the Disposals will enable the Company to strength its cash flow and liquidity position and increase the general working capital for other business of the Company; (iv) the prospects of both consumer goods industry relating to textile business and the aviation and aero-related industry in the PRC are expected to be optimistic; and (v) the various uncertainties encountered by the coal-fired electric and steam power industry in the PRC, we are of the view that the Disposals represent a good opportunity for the Group to realize its investments in the business of generation and sale of electric and steam power and to invest in businesses in other industries, including but not limited to, the consumer goods industry to which the Acquisition is related or projects in the aviation and aero-related industry with better growth prospects, with an aim to restructure its business portfolio and to increase Shareholders’ value. Based on the abovementioned, we consider that the Disposals are in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
4. Terms of the Hangzhou Agreement and the Agreement
Basis of the Hangzhou Consideration and the Consideration
The Hangzhou Consideration shall be an aggregate purchase price of RMB12,296,707.88 (equivalent to approximately HK$15.0 million) for the purchase of the Hangzhou Sale Shares and the Hangzhou Sale Loan, which has been arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Vendor and the Hangzhou Purchaser and was determined with reference to, including but not limited to, (i) the historical performance of the Operating Company with profitable track record in the preceding two financial years; (ii) the attributable unaudited net asset value of the Hangzhou Sale Shares of approximately RMB3.5 million (equivalent to approximately HK$4.3 million) based on the unaudited net asset value of the Operating Company of approximately RMB118.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$144.2 million) as at 30 June 2011 as per the management accounts of the Operating Company for the six months ended 30 June 2011; and (iii) the amount of the Hangzhou Sale Loan.

LETTER FROM GOLDIN FINANCIAL
The Consideration shall be an aggregate purchase price of HK$338,993,455.38 for the purchase of the Sale Share and the Sale Loan, which has been arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Purchaser and was determined with reference to, including but not limited to, (i) the historical performance of the Operating Company with profitable track record in the preceding two financial years; (ii) the attributable unaudited net asset value of the Sale Share of approximately RMB57.8 million (equivalent to approximately HK$70.7 million) based on the unaudited net asset value of the Operating Company of approximately RMB118.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$144.2 million) as at 30 June 2011 as per the management accounts of the Operating Company for the six months ended 30 June 2011; and (iii) the amount of the Sale Loan.
In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Hangzhou Consideration and the Consideration, we have performed a price-to-earning multiple (the “P/E Ratio”), which is one of the most widely used and accepted trading method for valuing a business with recurrent income. In addition to P/E Ratio, we also assess the Hangzhou Consideration and the Consideration by reference to the net asset value which is also one of the commonly adopted trading multiple analyses. While we realize that the size of the net asset value may not have direct linkage to the earnings potential, we consider the price-to-book multiple (“P/B Ratio”) analysis adds to the depth of the scope of our analysis. Given both the involved parties and the ultimate subject to be disposed of are the same under the Hangzhou Agreement and the Agreement, we consider to aggregate the Hangzhou Consideration and the Consideration when deriving the implied P/E Ratio and P/B Ratio.
As noted from the Letter from the Board, the aggregate of Hangzhou Consideration of RMB12,296,707.88 (equivalent to approximately HK$15.0 million) and the Consideration of approximately HK$339.0 million is approximately HK$354.0 million. Given the amount of the Hangzhou Sale Loan of RMB1,496,707.88 (equivalent to approximately HK$1.8 million) was included in the Hangzhou Consideration and the Sale Loan of approximately HK$165.0 million was included in the Consideration for assignment on a dollar for dollar basis, the aggregate consideration for the Hangzhou Sale Shares and the Sale Shares is equivalent to approximately HK$187.2 million, being the aggregate of Hangzhou Consideration and the Consideration of approximately HK$354.0 million net the face value of the Hangzhou Sale Loan of approximately HK$1.8 million and the Sale Loan of approximately HK$165.0 million. The aggregate consideration for the Hangzhou Sale Shares and the Sale Shares therefore implies a P/E Ratio of approximately 20.8 times (calculated as to approximately HK$360.0 million (which is the implied value of the Operating Company based on the consideration of approximately HK$187.2 million for an aggregate 52% interest) divided by net profit after taxation of the Operating Company of approximately HK$17.3 million based on the financial statements of the Operating Company for the year ended 31 December 2010 as set out in Appendix III to the Circular).
– 31 –
LETTER FROM GOLDIN FINANCIAL
The aggregate consideration for the Hangzhou Sale Shares and the Sale Shares also implied a P/B Ratio of approximately 2.3 times (calculated as to approximately HK$360.0 million divided by the unaudited net assets of the Operating Company of approximately HK$153.3 million as at 30 June 2011).
To the best of our knowledge, effort and endeavour and based on the information available from the website of the Stock Exchange, we have identified seven companies (the “Comparable Companies”) which (i) are listed on the Stock Exchange; (ii) are principally engaged in the conventional coal-fired or gas-fired power generation and sale of electric and steam power; (iii) derived a majority (over 80%) of their revenues from the generation and sale of electric and steam power for their respective latest financial year as stated in their latest annual reports; and (iv) their power plants operation are in the PRC or Hong Kong. We note that the market capitalizations of the Comparable Companies cover a wide range and are higher than that of the Operating Company. Under the current selection criteria, only seven companies have been selected for our analysis. If those companies with substantially higher market capitalisation are to be excluded from our analysis, a much smaller sample size would be generated which would not produce a meaningful comparison. Based on the aforesaid selection criteria, we consider the Comparable Companies are relevant and could provide a general reference when assessing the fairness of the considerations for the Hangzhou Sale Shares and the Sale Shares. The list of the Comparable Companies and their respective P/E Ratios and P/B Ratios, which is exhaustive, are set out below:

As illustrated in the table above, based on the relevant latest published annual report of the Comparable Companies as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Comparable Companies are trading at P/E Ratios ranging from approximately 7.3 times to approximately 46.5 times, with a mean and median of approximately 17.1 times and approximately 13.3 times respectively and are trading at P/B Ratios ranging from approximately 0.5 times to approximately 2.1 times, with a mean and median of approximately 1.0 times and approximately 0.7 times respectively.

LETTER FROM GOLDIN FINANCIAL
The P/E Ratio of approximately 20.8 times implied by the aggregate consideration for the Hangzhou Sale Shares and the Sale Shares falls within the range of the P/E Ratios of the Comparable Companies and is above the mean and median of the P/E Ratios of the Comparable Companies. The P/B Ratio of approximately 2.3 times implied by the consideration for the Hangzhou Sale Shares and the Sale Shares is above the mean and median of the P/B Ratios of the Comparable Companies.
Given the nature of the entering into the Hangzhou Agreement and the Agreement are disposals to the Company, we consider such higher P/B Ratio represents a more favorable term to the Company and are of the view that the consideration for the Hangzhou Sale Shares and the Sale Shares are fair and reasonable to the Company.
Based on the above P/E Ratio analysis and P/B Ratio analysis, we are of the view that the Hangzhou Consideration and the Consideration are fair and reasonable.
Share Charge
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Purchaser (as chargor) and the Company (as chargee) will execute the Share Charge at Completion. Upon receipt of the Deferred Consideration, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser the Share Charge Release duly executed by the Company, to effect the release of the security under the Share Charge with effect from such Deferred Payment Date. The Share Charge is the first priority legal charge over (a) the Sale Share and all accretions thereto; and (b) the Asia Capital Shares and all accretions thereto, as granted by the Purchaser to the Company for the purpose of securing (1) the liability of the Purchaser to the Company thereunder to pay the Deferred Consideration on Deferred Payment Date; and (2) by way of guarantee, the liability of the Target Company to the Company under the Sale Loan.
We are of the opinion that such warranties from the Purchaser serves as an additional protection to the Company in the event that the Deferred Consideration is not settled by the Purchaser according to the Agreement, the Company could exercise the Share Charge and obtain the Sale Share and the Asia Capital Shares, representing an aggregate effective interest of 70% in the Operating Company. As such, we are of the view that the Share Charge lowers the credit risk and repayment risk of the Deferred Consideration, which is in the interest in the Company and the Shareholders.
We have reviewed the Share Charge and are not aware of any terms and conditions that are unusual from what is commonly seen in similar transactions.
Based on the above analysis, we are of the view that the terms of the Disposals are fair and reasonable and the Disposals are in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

(v) Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
-
Extracted from the unaudited pro forma statement of assets and liabilities of the Enlarged Group (including the Group and 浙江東陽金牛針織製衣有限公司 (Zhejiang Dongyang Jinniu Knitting and Garment Company Limited*)) as at 30 June 2011 included in the published circular of the Group relating to the major transaction and possible connected transaction dated 17 November 2011.
-
The adjustment reflects the effects of the Hangzhou Disposal comprising consideration of approximately HK$15,027,000, less estimated transaction costs (professional fees and other related expenses) of approximately HK$1,400,000, and related taxes of HK$2,676,000. As the Hangzhou Disposal has not resulted in the change in control of the Group over the Operating Company, the effects of the Hangzhou Disposal were reflected as movements in equity while the related transaction costs and taxes are dealt with in the consolidated income statement. The consideration is to be fully settled upon completion.
-
Extracted from the audited consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income and consolidated statement of cash flows of the Group as set out in the published annual report of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2010.
