LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors would like to draw Shareholders’ and investors’ attention that, the reporting accountants, without qualifying their opinion, have issued an emphasis of matter on material uncertainty regarding the going concern assumption of the Target Company since the Target Company had (i) net current liabilities of HK$15,337,000, HK$13,532,000, HK$15,681,000 and HK$14,447,000 as at 31 December 2008, 2009, 2010, and 30 June 2011 respectively; and (ii) contingent liabilities of HK$22,857,000, HK$31,136,000, HK$31,494,000 and HK$32,235,000 as at 31 December 2008, 2009, 2010, and 30 June 2011 respectively in respect of the financial guarantees given to banks in connection with facilities granted to companies controlled by acquaintances of the director. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Target Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

However, as further disclosed in note 2.1 to the financial information of the Target Company, the financial information of the Target Company has been prepared on a going concern basis since the Vendor has confirmed his intention to provide continuing financial support to the Target Company so as to enable it to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due and to enable the Target Company to continue operating for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, upon completion of the Acquisition, the Company will provide financial support to the Target Company to enable it to meet its financial or contingent liabilities as and when they fall due and to enable the Target Company to continue operating as a going concern in the foreseeable future. The Directors believe that the Acquisition offers the Group a good opportunity to diversify into textile and garment industry and to enhance the Group’s income stream. For details on the reasons for the Acquisition, please refer to the paragraph headed “Reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition” below. Having considered the above and the internal resources of the Group, the Board considers the Enlarged Group will be able to meet the funding requirements of the Target Company.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITION

Upon Completion, the Target Company will become an indirect non wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the results, assets and liabilities of which will be consolidated into the accounts of the Group.

Set out in Appendix III to this circular is the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group which illustrates the financial effects of the Acquisition on the assets and liabilities of the Group assuming Completion had taken place on 30 June 2011.

Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group in Appendix III to this circular, the total assets of the Group would increase approximately 3% from approximately HK$3,182.5 million to approximately HK$3,285.6 million and its total liabilities would increase approximately 20% from approximately HK$487.6 million to approximately HK$585.5 million. As at 30 June 2011, the Group’s gearing ratio or total bank borrowings as a percentage of total assets, was approximately 3%. Assuming the Acquisition had been completed on 30 June 2011, the Enlarged Group’s gearing ratio would be approximately 4%.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Based on the accountants’ report on the Target Company as set out in Appendix II to this circular, the turnover and operating profit of the Target Company for the year ended 31 December 2010 were approximately HK$110.1 million and HK$0.4 million, respectively. The Directors consider that the Target Company will contribute to the revenue base of the Enlarged Group after the Completion.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

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 principal activity of the Target Company is the production and distribution of knitting and textile products, knitted fabrics and clothing in the PRC.

The Group has been exploring investment opportunities across various businesses and industries. The Directors consider that the Acquisition is a good opportunity for the Group to invest in other businesses with an aim to diversify the Group’s source of revenue and to increase Shareholders’ value.

The textile and garment industry is a traditional industry which generally requires economies of scale for the businesses of the industry to thrive. The Directors believe that with the abundant resources of the Group (in terms of both financial and business network), the business of the Target Company would be better developed by expanding its scale and achieving economies of scale. On the other hand, the Group can better utilise its idle resources. Thus, the Directors believe that the Acquisition represents a win-win situation for both the Group and the Target Company. The Directors are also optimistic about the prospects of the knitting and textile industry in the PRC in light of (i) the continuing economic development in the PRC; (ii) the increasing per capita disposable income in the PRC; and (iii) the extensive industrial experience and established customer base of the Target Company.

In view of the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Agreement are fair and reasonable and the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

The Group’s aero-technology related business is expected to remain stable for the current financial year. The Directors are optimistic about the prospects of the knitting and textile business following Completion in light of the reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition as discussed above. After the Acquisition, the financial position and performance of the Enlarged Group is expected to benefit from the revenue base of the Target Company.

The Directors will continue to identify possible acquisition opportunities that are in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. The Company will also consider its business portfolio from time to time and may consider divesting its existing business if such divestment would be in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Company commenced the preliminary discussion for the potential disposal of the electric and steam power business with certain potential buyers in April 2011. Consequently in August 2011, the Company entered into the Zhejiang Agreement (as defined hereinafter) to dispose 4% of the entire equity interest in 浙江海聯熱電股份有限公司 (Zhejiang Sealand Thermoelectric Share-Holding Co.) (“Zhejiang Sealand”), a non wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Following the execution of the Zhejiang Agreement, no further negotiation regarding the disposal of the remaining interest in Zhejiang Sealand was carried out until the Company was formally approached by a potential buyer, an existing shareholder of Zhejiang Sealand, to increase its existing stake in Zhejiang Sealand. The Company subsequently commenced the negotiations for the Hangzhou Agreement and the Disposal Agreement (as defined hereinafter) on 21 October 2011. Since the date of the Agreement and up to the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has entered into the following agreements in relation to the sale of its existing business and investment, and the subscription of open offer shares in Sino Gas:

For information purpose, a sale and purchase agreement dated 11 August 2011 entered into between CATIC Helicopter and 浙江中強化纖有 限公司 (Zhejiang Zhongqiang Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd.) (“Zhejiang Zhongqiang”) (the “Zhejiang Agreement”), pursuant to which Zhejiang Zhongqiang has conditionally agreed to acquire and CATIC Helicopter has conditionally agreed to sell (i) 4% of the entire equity interest in Zhejiang Sealand; and (ii) the indebtedness in the amount of RMB1,995,610.51 (equivalent to approximately HK$2.4 million) owed by the Zhejiang Sealand to CATIC Helicopter as at the date of the Zhejiang Agreement, at a total consideration of RMB16,395,610.51 (equivalent to approximately HK$20.0 million), which was settled by Zhejiang Zhongqiang to CATIC Helicopter in cash on 25 August 2011. Such disposal was completed on 30 September 2011. Details of which are disclosed in an announcement of the Company dated 9 November 2011 in relation to very substantial disposal and connected transactions;

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

in the amount of HK$164,958,535.82 owed by Polyson to the Company as at the date of the Disposal Agreement, at a total consideration of HK$338,993,455.38, which will be settled by Hong Kong Yuanhe to the Company in cash, details of which are disclosed in an announcement of the Company dated 9 November 2011 in relation to very substantial disposal and connected transactions;

  1. a sale and purchase agreement dated 2 November 2011 entered into between Smartcon Investment Limited (“Smartcon”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Dong Yuen Investment Limited (“Dong Yuen”) and Sino Gas Finance Limited (“Sino Gas Finance”) (the “Finance Leasing Disposal Agreement”), pursuant to which Smartcon and Dong Yuen have conditionally agreed to sell and Sino Gas Finance has conditionally agreed to purchase (i) Smartcon’s shares and Dong Yuen’s shares in Fidelity Finance Leasing Limited (“Fidelity Finance”), respectively; and (ii) the shareholders’ loans due and owing to Smartcon and Dong Yuen, respectively, by Fidelity Finance as at the date of the Finance Leasing Disposal Agreement, at an aggregate consideration of HK$55,328,087, details of which are disclosed in an announcement of the Company dated 9 November 2011 in relation to discloseable transactions; and

  2. an irrevocable undertaking dated 2 November 2011 given by the Company in favour of Sino Gas in relation to the subscription of open offer shares in the proposed open offer of Sino Gas (the “Irrevocable Undertaking”), details of which are disclosed in an announcement of the Company dated 9 November 2011 in relation to discloseable transactions.

For further details of the above agreements, please refer to the announcements of the Company dated 9 November 2011 in respect of discloseable transactions and very substantial disposal and connected transactions.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, Zhejiang Zhongqiang, Dong Yuen, and their respective ultimate beneficial owners are independent of and not connected with the Company and its connected persons as at the date of the Zhejiang Agreement and the date of the Finance Leasing Disposal Agreement, respectively. Save for the approximately 28.23% interest in Sino Gas held by the Company through Billirich Investment Limited (“Billirich”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Sino Gas Finance and its ultimate beneficial owner are independent of and not connected with the Company and its connected persons as at the date of the Finance Leasing Disposal Agreement. As at the date of the Disposal Agreement and the Hangzhou Agreement, Hong Kong Yuanhe, through its subsidiary, and Hangzhou Yuan He own 21% and 18.7% of the entire equity interest in Zhejiang Sealand, a non wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, respectively. As such, Hong Kong Yuanhe and Hangzhou Yuan He are connected persons of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Such counterparties of the Zhejiang Agreement, the Hangzhou Agreement, the Disposal Agreement, and the Sino Gas Transactions are not related to each other, and are neither the Vendor nor the Vendor’s connected persons. The Acquisition, the disposals pursuant to the Hangzhou Agreement and the Disposal Agreement, and the Sino Gas Transactions are not inter-conditional on each other.

– 12 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company intends to apply the net proceeds from the disposals pursuant to the Zhejiang Agreement, the Hangzhou Agreement and the Disposal Agreement for general working capital of the Group and for future acquisition opportunities that are in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. As such, the Group will continue to explore development opportunities in other industries, including but not limited to, the opportunities in the basic consumer goods industry brought by economic structure adjustments and the policies in boosting of domestic consumption in the PRC (such as the Acquisition). At the same time, the Group will also explore projects in the aviation and aero-related industry in the PRC with good prospects so as to further develop and diversify its aero-related business. As at the Latest Practicable Date, no such opportunity or project has been identified.

MAJOR TRANSACTION AND APPROVAL BY SHAREHOLDERS

As the applicable percentage ratios of the Acquisition calculated in accordance with Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules exceeds 25% but is less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules. The Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are subject to the approval of the Shareholders by way of poll at the SGM. As the Vendor is a third party independent of the Company and its connected persons and no Shareholder has any material interest in the Acquisition which is different from other Shareholders, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting in respect of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the SGM for the approval of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that the terms of the Agreement are fair and reasonable so far as the Shareholders are concerned and the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and therefore recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolution to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Your attention is drawn to the information set out in the Appendices to this circular.

ZDJK was established in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) with limited liability on 1 April 1998 by 香港盈華集團有限公司 (“香港盈華”) and is engaged in the production and distribution of knitting and textile products, knitted fabrics and clothing in Zhejiang Province, the PRC. On 12 December 2008, Mr. Wu Xiaogang acquired the entire equity interest in ZDJK from 香港盈華 and became the sole owner.

The statutory financial statements of ZDJK for the year ended 31 December 2008 were audited by 東陽衡力聯合會計師事務所, certified public accountants registered in the PRC, while the statutory financial statements of ZDJK for the years ended 31 December 2009 and 2010 were audited by 東陽衡升會計師事務所有限公司, certified public accountants registered in the PRC. These statutory financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally

APPENDIX II

accepted accounting principles and the relevant financial regulations of the PRC. For the purpose of this report, the director of ZDJK has prepared the financial statements of ZDJK (the “Underlying Financial Statements”) in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”). The Underlying Financial Statements for each of the years ended 31 December 2008, 2009 and 2010, and the six months ended 30 June 2011 were audited by us in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA.

The Financial Information set out in this report has been prepared from the Underlying Financial Statements with no adjustments made thereon.

DIRECTOR’S RESPONSIBILITY

The director of ZDJK is responsible for the preparation of the Underlying Financial Statements, the Financial Information and the Comparative Financial Information that give a true and fair view in accordance with HKFRSs, and for such internal control as the director of ZDJK determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the Underlying Financial Statements, the Financial Information and the Comparative Financial Information that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Further details of the basis of preparation are included in note 2.1 of Section II.

REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ RESPONSIBILITY

It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion and a review conclusion on the Financial Information and the Comparative Financial Information, respectively, and to report our opinion and review conclusion thereon to you.

For the purpose of this report, we have carried out procedures on the Financial Information in accordance with Auditing Guideline No. 3.340 Prospectuses and the Reporting Accountant issued by the HKICPA.

We have also performed a review of the Comparative Financial Information in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the HKICPA. A review consists principally of making enquiries of management and applying analytical procedures to the financial information and, based thereon, assessing whether the accounting policies and presentation have been consistently applied unless otherwise disclosed. A review excluded audit procedures such as tests of controls and verification of assets and liabilities and transactions. It is substantially less in scope than an audit and therefore provides a lower level of assurance than an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the Comparative Financial Information.

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

OPINION IN RESPECT OF THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

In our opinion, for the purpose of this report, the Financial Information gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of ZDJK as at 31 December 2008, 2009 and 2010, and 30 June 2011, and of the results and cash flows of ZDJK for each of the Relevant Periods.

REVIEW CONCLUSION IN RESPECT OF THE COMPARATIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Based on our review, which does not constitute an audit, for the purpose of this report, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Comparative Financial Information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the same basis adopted in respect of the Financial Information.

EMPHASIS OF MATTER

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to note 2.1 of Section II to the Financial Information concerning the adoption of the going concern basis on which the Financial Information has been prepared which, as explained in the note, is dependent upon the continuing financial support of Mr. Wu Xiaogang and the Company. As at 31 December 2008, 2009, 2010, and 30 June 2011, ZDJK had net current liabilities of HK$15,337,000, HK$13,532,000, HK$15,681,000 and HK$14,447,000, respectively. In addition, as at 31 December 2008, 2009, 2010, and 30 June 2011, ZDJK had contingent liabilities of HK$22,857,000, HK$31,136,000, HK$31,494,000 and HK$32,235,000, respectively, in respect of financial guarantees given to banks in connection with facilities granted to companies controlled by acquaintances of the director of ZDJK. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on ZDJK’s ability to continue as a going concern.

II. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1.1 CORPORATE INFORMATION

ZDJK was incorporated in the PRC with limited liability on 1 April 1998 and is engaged in the production and distribution of knitting and textile products, knitted fabrics and clothing in Zhejiang Province, the PRC. The registered office of ZDJK is located at 28th Geshan Road, Western Economic Development Zone, Dongyang, Zhejiang, the PRC.

At the date of this report, ZDJK is wholly-owned by Mr. Wu Xiaogang, who is also the sole director of ZDJK.

2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION

As at 31 December 2008, 2009, 2010, and 30 June 2011, ZDJK had net current liabilities of HK$15,337,000, HK$13,532,000, HK$15,681,000 and HK$14,447,000, respectively. In addition, as at 31 December 2008, 2009, 2010, and 30 June 2011, ZDJK had contingent liabilities of HK$22,857,000, HK$31,136,000, HK$31,494,000 and HK$32,235,000, respectively, in respect of financial guarantees given to banks in connection with facilities granted to companies controlled by acquaintances of the director as further detailed in note 25 to the Financial Information.

In preparing the Financial Information, the director of ZDJK has given careful consideration to the future liquidity of ZDJK and has taken consideration of the following events:

  • (a) Mr. Wu has confirmed his intention to provide continuing financial support to ZDJK so as to enable it to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due and to enable ZDJK to continue operating for the foreseeable future; and

  • (b) Upon completion of the Proposed Acquisition of 51% equity interest in ZDJK, the Company will provide financial support to ZDJK to enable it to meet its financial or contingent liabilities as and when they fall due and to enable ZDJK to continue operating as a going concern in the foreseeable future.

Consequently, the director of ZDJK is satisfied that ZDJK will be able to obtain necessary funding so as to meet its liabilities when they fall due in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis.

The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs (which include all Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”) and Interpretations) issued by the HKICPA, accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. They have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The Financial Information is presented in Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (“HK$’000”) except when otherwise indicated.

For the purpose of preparation of the Financial Information, ZDJK has adopted all the new and revised HKFRSs applicable throughout the Relevant Periods.

2.2 ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

ZDJK has not applied the following new and revised HKFRSs, that have been issued but are not yet effective, in the Financial Information.

ZDJK is in the process of making an assessment of the impact of these new and revised HKFRSs upon initial application. So far, ZDJK considers that these new and revised HKFRSs are unlikely to have a significant impact on ZDJK’s results of operations and financial position.

2.3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Impairment of non-financial assets

Where an indication of impairment exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required (other than inventories and financial assets), the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s value in use and its fair value less costs to sell, and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

An impairment loss is recognised only if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss is charged to profit or loss in the period in which it arises, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is accounted for in accordance with the relevant accounting policy for that revalued asset.

An assessment is made at the end of each reporting period as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss of an asset other than goodwill is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount of that asset, but not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any depreciation/amortisation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of such an impairment loss is credited to profit or loss in the period in which it arises, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is accounted for in accordance with the relevant accounting policy for that revalued asset.

The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use.

Expenditure incurred after items of property, plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, is normally charged to profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred. In situations where the recognition criteria are satisfied, the expenditure for a major inspection is capitalised in the carrying amount of the asset as a replacement. Where significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, ZDJK recognises such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciation.

Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis to write off the cost of each item of property, plant and equipment to its residual value over its estimated useful life. The principal annual rates used for this purpose are as follows:

Buildings 5%
Plant and machinery 10% – 20%
Furniture, fixtures and equipment 20% – 33%
Motor vehicles 20% – 25%

Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost of that item is allocated on a reasonable basis among the parts and each part is depreciated separately. Residual values, useful lives and the depreciation method are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at least at each financial year end.

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal or retirement recognised in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset.

Construction in progress represents the construction of building, which is stated at cost less any impairment losses, and is not depreciated. Cost comprises the direct costs of construction and capitalised borrowing costs on related borrowed funds during the period of construction. Construction in progress is reclassified to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for use.

Leases

Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the lessor are accounted for as operating leases. Rentals payable under the operating leases net of any incentives received from the lessor are charged to profit or loss on the straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Prepaid land lease payments under operating leases are initially stated at cost and subsequently recognised on the straight-line basis over the respective periods of the rights.

Investments and other financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets in the scope of HKAS 39 are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial investments, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. ZDJK determines the reclassification of its financial assets at initial recognition. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, that is, the date that ZDJK commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

ZDJK’s financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, pledged deposits, trade and bills receivables, deposits and other receivables, amounts due from the director and related parties.

Subsequent measurement

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, such assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less any allowance for impairment. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and includes fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included in finance income in profit or loss. The loss arising from impairment is recognised in profit or loss in other losses.

Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised where:

  • the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or

  • ZDJK has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flow in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; and either (a) ZDJK has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) ZDJK has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When ZDJK has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of ZDJK’s continuing involvement in the asset. In that case, ZDJK also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that ZDJK has retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that ZDJK could be required to repay.

Impairment of financial assets

ZDJK assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a Group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a Group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred “loss event”) and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or ZDJK of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that a debtor or a Group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

Financial assets carried at amortised cost

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, ZDJK first assesses individually whether objective evidence of impairment exists for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If ZDJK determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a Group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be, recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not yet been incurred). The present value of the estimated future

– II-13 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e., the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate.

The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss. Interest income continues to be accrued on the reduced carrying amount and is accrued using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. Loans and receivables together with any associated allowance are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral has been realised or has been transferred to ZDJK.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If a future write-off is later recovered, the recovery is credited to finance costs in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities within the scope of HKAS 39 are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. ZDJK determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and in the case of loans and borrowings, plus directly attributable transaction costs.

ZDJK’s financial liabilities include trade and bills payables, other payables, amounts due to the director and a related party, and interest-bearing bank borrowings.

Subsequent measurement

After initial recognition, interest-bearing bank and other borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the effective interest rate method amortisation process.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included in finance costs in profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled, or expires.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and a recognition of a new liability, and the difference between the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if, and only if, there is currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on weighted average basis and, in the case of work in progress and finished goods, comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Net realisable value is based on estimated selling prices less any estimated costs to be incurred to completion and disposal.

APPENDIX II

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash, are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and have a short maturity of generally within three months when acquired, less bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of ZDJK’s cash management.

For the purpose of the statement of financial position, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and at banks, including term deposits, and assets similar in nature to cash, which are not restricted as to use.

Income tax

Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, taking into consideration interpretations and practices prevailing in the countries in which ZDJK operates.

Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the end of the reporting period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:

  • where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

  • in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investment in a subsidiary, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carryforward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:

  • where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary differences arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

  • in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

APPENDIX II

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to ZDJK and when the revenue can be measured reliably, on the following bases:

  • (a) from the sale of goods, when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, provided that ZDJK maintains neither managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership, nor effective control over the goods sold; and

  • (b) interest income, on an accrual basis using the effective interest method by applying the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, when appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Other employee benefits

Pension scheme

As stipulated by the regulations of the PRC government, ZDJK is required to make specific contributions to the state-controlled retirement plan at rates ranging from 0.6% to 14% of the total salaries of the employees. The PRC government is responsible for the pension liability to the retired employees. The employees of ZDJK are entitled to a monthly pension at their retirement dates. ZDJK has no further obligation for post-retirement benefits beyond the annual contributions.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, i.e., assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. The capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases when the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs capitalised. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

Dividends

Dividends are simultaneously proposed and declared, because ZDJK’s memorandum and articles of association grant the director the authority to declare dividends. Consequently, dividends are recognised immediately as a liability when they are proposed and declared.

Foreign currency transactions

The functional currency of ZDJK is RMB. As at the end of the reporting period, the assets and liabilities of ZDJK are translated into HK$ at the exchange rate ruling at the end of the reporting period and its statement of comprehensive income is translated into HK$ at the weighted average exchange rate for the year. The resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the exchange fluctuation reserve.

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the cash flows of ZDJK are translated into HK$ at the exchange rates ruling at the dates of the cash flows. Frequently recurring cash flows of ZDJK which arise throughout the year are translated into HK$ at the weighted average exchange rate for the year.

APPENDIX II

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of ZDJK’s Financial Information requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets or liabilities affected in the future.

Estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are discussed below.

Impairment of non-financial assets

ZDJK assesses whether there are any indicators of impairment for all non-financial assets at each reporting period. Non-financial assets are tested for impairment when there are indicators that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or a cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The calculation of fair value less costs to sell is based on available data from binding sales transactions in an arm’s length transaction of similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. When value in use calculations are undertaken, management must estimate the expected future cash flows from the asset or cash-generating unit and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment

The impairment loss for property, plant and equipment is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the assets, or, where appropriate, the cash-generating unit to which they belong, is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The recoverable amounts are determined based on fair value less costs to sell which are based on the best information available to reflect the amount obtainable at the reporting date, from the disposal of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties, after deducting the costs of disposal. For the estimation of value in use, ZDJK’s management estimates future cash flows from the cash-generating unit and chooses a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

ZDJK depreciates the assets on the straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, and after taking into account of their estimated residual values, at rates ranging from 5% to 33% per annum, commencing from the date the property, plant and equipment is placed into productive use. The estimated useful lives and the dates that ZDJK places the property, plant and equipment into productive use reflect the director’s estimate of the periods that ZDJK intends to derive future economic benefits from the use of ZDJK’s property, plant and equipment.

Impairment of trade and other receivables

The policy for provision for impairment loss of ZDJK is based on the evaluation of collectability and the ageing analysis of the trade receivables and on management’s judgement. A considerable amount of judgement is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these receivables, including the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of each debtor. If the financial conditions of debtors of ZDJK were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

ZDJK’s trading terms with its customers are mainly on credit, except for new customers where payment in advance is normally required. The credit period is generally one month, extending up to two months for major customers. Each customer has a maximum credit limit. ZDJK seeks to maintain strict control over its outstanding receivables. Overdue balances are reviewed regularly by senior management. In view of the aforementioned and the fact that the ZDJK’s trade receivables relate to a large number of diversified customers, there is no significant concentration of credit risk. Trade receivables are non-interest-bearing.

Receivables that were neither past due nor impaired relate to a large number of diversified customers for whom there was no recent history of default.

Receivables that were past due but not impaired relate to a number of independent customers that have a good track record with ZDJK. Based on past experience, the director is of the opinion that no provision for impairment is necessary in respect of these balances as there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the balances are still considered fully recoverable. ZDJK does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements over these balances.

The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for ZDJK’s operations. ZDJK has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade and bills receivables, and trade and bills payables, which arise directly from its operations.

It is, and has been throughout the Relevant Periods, ZDJK’s policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken.

The main risks arising from ZDJK’s financial instruments are credit risk and liquidity risk. The director reviews policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below.

(a) Credit risk

ZDJK trades only with recognised and creditworthy third parties. It is ZDJK’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and ZDJK’s exposure to bad debts is not significant.

The credit risk of ZDJK’s other financial assets, which comprise trade and bills receivables, deposits and other receivables, amounts due from director and related parties, cash and cash equivalents, and pledged deposits, arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amounts of these instruments.

In respect of Third Party Advances (note 16) and amounts due from related parties (note 18) , individual credit evaluations are performed on all borrowers. These evaluations focus on the borrowers’ past history of making payments and current ability to pay, and take into account information specific to the borrowers. All Third Party Advances and amounts due from related parties were guaranteed by Mr. Wu Xiaogang and his spouse pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement as detailed in note 27(a)(iii) to the Financial Information.

ZDJK is also exposed to credit risk through the giving financial guarantees, further details of which are disclosed in note 25 to the Financial Information.

Since ZDJK trades only with recognised and creditworthy third parties, there is no requirement for collateral. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within ZDJK due to its large customer base.

Further quantitative data in respect of ZDJK’s exposure to credit risk arising from trade and other receivables are disclosed in notes 15 and 16 to the Financial Information, respectively.

The unaudited pro forma financial information was prepared based on the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2011 included in the published interim report of the Group for the period then ended and the financial information of ZDJK as set out in the accountants’ report in Appendix II to this circular, after giving effect to the pro forma adjustments as described in the accompanying notes.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the financial information of the Group as set out in Appendix II and other financial information elsewhere in this circular.

The unaudited pro forma financial information of the Group including ZDJK (hereinafter referred to as the “Enlarged Group”) is based on a number of assumptions, estimates, uncertainties and currently available information. As a result of these assumptions, estimates and uncertainties, the accompanying unaudited pro forma financial information does not purport to describe the financial information of the Enlarged Group that would have been attained had the Proposed Acquisition been completed on 30 June 2011. Furthermore, the accompanying unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group does not purport to predict the Enlarged Group’s future financial position.

Subsequent to 30 June 2011, the Group has entered into sale and purchase agreements in respect of the disposals of the Group’s equity interest in a non wholly-owned subsidiary, 浙江 海聯熱電股份有限公司 (Zhejiang Sealand Thermoelectric Share-Holding Co. or “ZSTS”) (the “ZSTS Disposals”), details of which are disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 9 November 2011 in relation to very substantial disposal and connected transactions.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

APPENDIX III

As the ZSTS Disposals, the Sino Gas Subscription and the Finance Leasing Disposal (the “Post June 30 Transactions”) are not directly related to the Proposed Acquisition concerned, no pro forma adjustment in relation to the Post June 30 Transactions is prepared. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma financial information has not reflected the effect of the Post June 30 Transactions on the Group’s financial position. Upon the completion of the ZSTS Disposals, ZSTS will cease to be consolidated as a subsidiary in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Upon the completion of the Sino Gas Subscription, the Group’s equity interest in Sino Gas shall be maintained and Sino Gas will continue to be equity accounted for as an associate of the Group. Upon the completion of the Finance Leasing Disposal, Fidelity Finance will cease to be equity accounted for as an associate in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
