LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among others, (i) further details of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Supplemental Agreement and the Acquisition; (ii) the valuation report of the Project Land; and (iii) any other information required to be disclosed under the Listing Rules.

1. THE SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Date: 29 October 2014 The Parties: (i) Trillion Ocean Limited (億海有限公司) as Vendor; (ii) Gold Beat Investments Limited (金賓投資有限公司) as Purchaser; and (iii) Ms. Zhong Qiuxia (鐘秋霞), as Vendor’s Guarantor.

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, after having made all reasonable enquiries, the Vendor, its ultimate beneficial owner(s) and the Vendor’s Guarantor are Independent Third Parties.

Subject Matter

Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser conditionally agreed to acquire, and the Vendor conditionally agreed to sell, the entire issued share capital of the Target Company, which in turn is holding the entire equity interest in the PRC Project Company, together with all outstanding shareholder’s loan standing as at the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement. Upon Completion, the Purchaser has become the holder of the entire issued share capital in the Target Company, which together with its subsidiaries have become wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and their financial results will be consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

The principal assets of the Target Company is its investment in the PRC Project Company which in turn holds the Project Land which comprises four parcels of land located at north of Songbai Road, Gongmin Subdistrict Office, Guangming New District, Shenzhen, PRC. According to the existing land grant contract, the Project Land originally comprises a site area of 34,367.94 square metres on which the PRC Project Company can build up to a maximum 40,000 square metres of gross floor area for industrial use. In 2010, a total site area of 10,176.66 square metres had been resumed by the local government for construction of public road. Upon the completion of the resumption, the original parcel of land was therefore re-divided into four smaller parcels of land of a total site area of 24,197.28 square metres, with the terms being reflected in the existing land grant contract. The Vendor undertakes to discuss with the Shenzhen Bureau of Land Resources and procure the PRC Project Company and the Shenzhen Bureau of Land Resources to sign the New Land Grant Contract so that the PRC Project Company can (i) build up to a maximum 40,488 square metres floor area for industrial use and 2,000 square metres for commercial use by utilizing a site area of 14,164.7 square metres; (ii) retain a further site area of 9,368.6 square metres for future expansion and (iii) negotiate a compensation from the local government for the land that had been resumed in 2010, which is

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

expected to be an amount of not less than RMB4,335,000 (the “ Vendor’s undertaking ”). The term under the existing land grant contract is 50 years. It is proposed that the lease term of the Project Land shall not be less than 39 years under the New Land Grant Contract.

The signing of the New Land Grant Contract was not one of the conditions precedents to Completion under the Sale and Purchase Agreement as the parties anticipated that the negotiation with the Shenzhen Bureau of Land Resources for the new terms to the New Land Grant Contract would not be completed within a short period of time after the signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement. To avoid unnecessary delay to the Acquisition, which may in turns cause delay in the completion of necessary title registration of the Project Land, it was then agreed between the parties to the Sale and Purchase Agreement that the signing of the New Land Grant Contract will be one of the Vendor’s undertaking under the Sale and Purchase Agreement. If the New Land Grant Contract cannot be signed within six calendar months from the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, or in any event, not exceeding nine calendar months from the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement unless otherwise extended and agreed by the Purchaser, the Purchaser reserves the right to terminate the Sale and Purchase Agreement, upon which, the Vendor shall refund all consideration payment made by the Purchaser within five business days upon the notice of termination being served by the Purchaser and the Vendor shall then arrange to repurchase the entire equity interests of the Target Company back from the Purchaser. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Vendor was still in negotiation with the Shenzhen Bureau of Land Resources regarding the signing of the New Land Grant Contract, and no construction and/or development had been completed on the Project Land. To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, after having made all reasonable enquiries, there is no major obstacles for the New Land Grant Contract to be entered prior to the expiry of the nine-month period after the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement. Further, there is no indication from the Vendor that the entering of the New Land Grant Contract cannot be completed within nine calendar months from the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement. However, should the circumstances then arise that an extension of the stipulated deadline is required, the Purchaser will consider the facts and circumstances for such extension. If the reasons for the extension is considered as reasonable and necessary, the Purchaser will consider to agree for an extension.

As a guarantee for the performance of the Vendor to procure the signing of the New Land Grant Contract above, it was also agreed that the Vendor should procure the Borrower to enter into the Entrusted Loan Agreement and to pledge the Huizhou Property as security to PASL, an associated company of the Purchaser. Based on a letter of opinion obtained by the Company, the Huizhou Property was valued at RMB108 million (equivalent to approximately HK$137 million) as at 26 September 2014. In addition, the Vendor’s Guarantor agreed to provide a personal guarantee in favour of the Purchaser for the due and complete performance of the Vendor under the Sale and Purchase Agreement. Further, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the entire equity interest of the Target Company has been transferred to the Purchaser, who in turn has become the sole owner of the PRC Project Company. Accordingly, the Group has an attributable and legitimate ownership over the Project Land and the cash held at banks of the PRC Project Company. Together with foregoing security provided by the Vendor to guarantee the performance of the entering of the New Land Grant Contract and the right to terminate the Sale and Purchase Agreement in case the Vendor fails to procure the signing of the New Land Grant Contract, the Board is of the view that the Completion on 31 December 2014 prior to the signing of the New Land Grant Contract provided sufficient safeguard to the Purchaser and therefore is in the interest of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, after having made all reasonable enquiries, the Vendor’s Guarantor is a business acquaintance of the owner of Vendor (i.e. Mr. Lin His-chang (林喜常), an Independent Third Party) and the Vendor’s Guarantor owns a number of properties at the Guangming New District. Based on preliminary assessment of the value of such properties, the Board is of the view that the Vendor’s Guarantor has the credibility to discharge the personal guarantee provided in favour of the Purchaser for the due and complete performance of the Vendor under the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

The Supplemental Agreement

On 4 December 2014, the Vendor, the Purchaser and the Vendor’s Guarantor entered into the Supplemental Agreement, pursuant to which the parties to the Sale and Purchase Agreement agreed to amend certain terms to the Sale and Purchase Agreement as follows:

Pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement, it was agreed that:

  • (i) the deadline for the Vendor to clear all the assets (except for any retained cash and land use rights) and the liabilities incurred by the PRC Project Company shall be extended from 30 November 2014 to 19 December 2014; and

  • (ii) if the retained cash of the PRC Project Company as at 19 December 2014 is at a positive balance, the aggregate consideration for the Acquisition payable by the Purchaser shall be adjusted upward accordingly with a maximum amount of RMB7,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$8,876,000) in which the aggregate consideration for the Acquisition payable by the Purchaser shall not exceed RMB86,225,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$109,333,300); and if the retained cash of the PRC Project Company as at 19 December 2014 is at a negative balance, the aggregate consideration for the Acquisition payable by the Purchaser shall be adjusted downward accordingly. The adjustment amount shall be paid within three business days upon confirmation of such amount by both parties.

Save for the above, all other terms and conditions of the Sale and Purchase Agreement shall remain unchanged and continue in full force and effect.

On 18 December 2014, the Vendor, the Purchaser and the Vendor’s Guarantor signed the Confirmation, pursuant to which the parties agreed that the aggregate consideration of the Acquisition to be increased by RMB6,395,909 from RMB79,225,000 to RMB85,620,909.

  • (ii) upon the signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser had arranged PASL as lender, being an associated company of the Purchaser, to extend an entrusted loan through its designated bank in the PRC, which represents the payment in the amount of RMB30,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$38,040,000) (the “ Entrusted Loan ”) being approximately 35% of the aggregate consideration for the Acquisition to the Borrower at an interest rate of 1% per annum for a term of nine months. If the New Land Grant Contract cannot be entered within nine calendar months from the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and if an extension is then agreed by the Purchaser, PASL as lender and the Borrower may extend the terms of the Entrusted Loan Agreement accordingly. On the other hand, if the Purchaser decides to terminate the Sale and Purchase Agreement instead, no extension will be granted by PASL and the Borrower is required to repay the Entrusted Loan within five business days upon the notice of termination.

the Entrusted Loan until the expiry of the Entrusted Loan Agreement. In the event that the Entrusted Loan Agreement terminates prior to the expiry of the nine-month term, an amount of RMB25,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$31,700), equivalent to the Monthly Payment, will be deducted from the aggregate consideration for the Acquisition for every month of early termination;

  • (iv) within 10 business days upon the signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and after the payment of the Entrusted Loan, the Purchaser had arranged to deposit a banker’s cheque in a sum of RMB16,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$20,288,000), representing approximately 18.7% of the aggregate consideration for the Acquisition (the “ Final Payment ”) to the Escrow Agent.

In light of the importance of the entering of the New Land Grant Contract, the preliminary valuation of the Project Land was taken into account when determining the consideration for the Acquisition, such that adequate compensation will be reflected in the payment

schedule of the consideration for the Acquisition. Based on the foregoing, the Directors are of the view that the aggregate consideration for the Acquisition is fair and reasonable.

The net amount of assets and liabilities incurred by the PRC Project Company which have been cleared out prior to Completion amounted to approximately RMB1,047,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$1,327,600).

Upon Completion on 31 December 2014, each of the Target Company and the PRC Project Company has become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and their financial results has since then been consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Group, including for the year ended 31 December 2014.

5. REASONS FOR AND BENEFIT OF THE ACQUISITION

As stated in the announcements of the Company dated 22 August 2011 and 25 October 2013, PASL entered into an agreement with Shenzhen Warmsun on 7 August 2011, pursuant to which PASL has agreed to vacate from the Lung Hua Land and demolish the existing buildings and structures built and erected thereon, and hand over the Lung Hua Land to Shenzhen Warmsun for re-development. As stated in the announcement of the Company dated 16 October 2014, a notice was published by Urban Planning Land and Resources Commission of Shenzhen Municipality (“ UPLRC Shenzhen ”) to confirm the re-development of the Lung Hua Land having been listed under “2014 Lot 4 Town re-development formulated plan of Shenzhen – Draft Plan”. It is expected that after a public consultation period, UPLRC Shenzhen will submit the application to Shenzhen Municipal Government for final approval, thereupon the “Completion of Registration” mentioned in the announcement of the Company dated 22 August 2011 will be deemed to be completed upon receipt of such final approval.

The final approval was obtained from the Shenzhen Municipal Government on 22 December 2014. Accordingly, the Company is required to make plan to relocate the office and plants originally located on the Lung Hua Land to a new location.

Upon Completion, the Company indirectly wholly-own the entire equity interest of the PRC Project Company which in turn is holding the entire interest of the Project Land. The Project Land is situated in Shenzhen within the area of Gongmin Sub-district Office, the PRC, one of the areas with the highest growth potential. As both the Project Land and the Lung Hua Land is also situated in Shenzhen, in the event that the Company decides to relocate its existing factories and plants from the Lung Hua Land to the Project Land, it

  • 14 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

will not trigger any severance payment obligations on the part of the Company to its employees according to the relevant PRC labour laws, the Laws of the PRC on Labour Contracts (中華人民共和國勞動合同法). Further, the Project Land is located in an area where good transportation infrastructures are in place as the Project Land can be directly accessed by various highways roads and Shenzhen Metro Line No. 6. Shenzhen Metrol Line No. 6 is currently under construction and is expected to complete in 2018 or 2019. As such, mobility is relatively convenient for both staff and goods of the Group. The Directors believe that the Acquisition will allow the Company to implement a relocation of the existing factories and plants located at the Lung Hua Land with the minimal time and costs without incurring any adverse disruption to the business and manufacturing process of the Group. Further, pursuant to the relevant PRC regulations 《中華人民共和( 國城市房地產管理法》), the Project Land had not commenced its development prior to the Acquisition, i.e. it was a piece land. As such, it had not reached the relevant development stage where the Project Land could just be transferred to the Purchaser directly. Accordingly, for the purpose of acquiring a piece of land for the relocation, the Group is required to acquire the project company holding the Project Land instead of acquiring the Project Land directly. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the relocation has yet to be implemented by the Company.

Based on the foregoing, the Directors consider that the Acquisition is entered into on normal commercial terms, and the terms of which are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

7. FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITION

Upon Completion, the Purchaser hold the entire issued share capital in the Target Company, which together with its subsidiaries will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. In substance, the Group only acquired the Project Land and the retained cash of the PRC Project Company. None of the business, customer, product, staff, intangible assets or any other asset or liability, from the Vendor, which falls into the definition of acquisition of business in accordance with HKFRS3, was acquired by the Group. As such, the Acquisition was accounted for as “asset acquisition” in accordance with HKFRS3.

As Completion was taken place on 31 December 2014, the financial effect of the Acquisition was reported in the 2014 Annual Report issued by the Company on 27 April 2015. The aggregate consideration paid was recorded as following assets in the balance sheet of the Company:-

RMB’000 HK$’000
Prepaid lease payments (Non-current and current assets) 34,171 43,329
Prepayment (Non-current assets) 16,000 20,288
Loan receivable (Current assets) 30,000 38,040
Bank balance and cash (Current assets) 6,636* 8,414
Taxes payable (Current liabilities) (240)* (304)
Increase of assets value (Total of above) 86,567 109,767

* The net amount of bank balance and cash and taxes payable was approximately RMB6,396,000 which was the increased contribution based on the Supplemental Agreement.

The increase of asset value represents the aggregate consideration of RMB85,621,000 and expenses of approximately RMB946,000 partially incurred for the Acquisition which was capitalized under the prepaid lease payments.

Since the Group’s bank balance and cash was depleted by the same amount as the aggregate consideration, the net assets of the Group was not affected.

Shareholders are advised to refer to note 30 of the Group’s consolidated financial statements in the 2014 annual report of the Company for more details.

As set out in Appendix II to this circular, upon Completion of the Acquisition on 31 December 2014, the consolidated net assets of the Group remained unchanged at approximately HK$300 million as the increase in non-current assets was totally offset by the decrease in current assets due to the fact that the Acquisition is purely assets acquisition by cash.

As the Group has not acquired any business from the Vendor and the Target Group is dormant at the time of the entering of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, there would not be any income and expenses (apart from the amortization of the Project Land) brought into the Group in the future.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

8. FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES IN THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS

The Company has not engaged in or initiated any equity fund raising exercise during the past 12 months immediately before the Latest Practicable Date or any rights issue exercise prior to such 12-month period.

9. LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As the applicable percentage ratios under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Acquisition are 25% or more but are less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction for the Company and is subject to notification, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, after having made all reasonable enquiries, no shareholders of the Company or any of their respective associates have any material interest in the Acquisition. As such, no shareholders of the Company would be required to abstain from voting in favour of the resolution approving the Acquisition should the Sale and Purchase Agreement be put forward to the Shareholders for approval at a general meeting. As at the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Relevant Shareholders collectively interested in an aggregate of 253,991,167 Shares, representing approximately 59.56% of the issued share capital of the Company, has approved the Sale and Purchase Agreement by written shareholders’ approval pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules in lieu of a resolution to be passed at a general meeting of the Company.

10. REASONS FOR NON-INCLUSION OF THE RELEVANT FINANCIAL INFORMATION IN THE CIRCULAR

As stated in the paragraph headed “Reasons for and benefit of the Acquisition” of this circular above, PASL has agreed to vacate from the Lung Hua Land and upon the final approval being obtained from the Shenzhen Municipal Government, the Company is required to make plan to relocate the office and plants originally located on the Lung Hua Land to a new location (the “ Relocation ”).

Whilst the Directors had considered other locations for the Relocation, the Project Land was considered as one of the most suitable piece of land for the purpose of the Relocation for the following reasons:

  • (a) the Project Land is situated in Shenzhen within the area of Gongmin Sub-district Office, the PRC, one of the areas with the highest growth potential;

  • (b) given that the Lung Hua Land is also situated in Shenzhen, the relocation of the Company’s existing factories and plants from the Lung Hua Land to the Project Land will not trigger any severance payment obligations on the part of the Company to its employees according to the Laws of the PRC on Labour Contracts《中華人民共和國勞動合同法》; and

  • (c) the Project Land is located in an area where good transportation infrastructures are in place and mobility is relatively convenient for both staff and goods of the Group.

  • 17 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Based on the foregoing, the Directors believe that the relocation of the existing factories and plants located at the Lung Hua Land to the Project Land would involve minimal time and costs and would not incur any adverse disruption to the business and manufacturing process of the Group.

Importantly, it is essential to note that the primary objective for the Company to enter into the Acquisition was to acquire the Project Land and not to acquire any businesses previously engaged by the Target Group. However, according to the legal adviser to the Company as to PRC laws《中華人民共和國城 市房地產管理法》, the Project Land had not commenced any development prior to the Acquisition. As such, it had not reached the relevant development stage where the Project Land could be transferred to the Company directly. Accordingly, for the purpose of acquiring the Project Land for the Relocation, the Group is required to acquire the PRC Project Company holding the Project Land instead of acquiring the Project Land directly.

As set out in this Letter from the Board, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules, accordingly, the Company is required to include (i) the accountants’ report of the Target Company in accordance with Chapter 4 of the Listing Rules for each of the three financial years immediately preceding the issue of the circular (the “ Accountants’ Report ”); and (ii) a management discussion and analysis of the results of the Target Company for the period reported in the Accountants’ Report (the “ MD&A ”, together with the Accountants’ Report, the “ Relevant Financial Information ”) in this circular. However, the Company considers that it is unduly burdensome and impractical for the Company to include the Relevant Financial Information in this circular and therefore did not include the Relevant Financial Information in this circular based on the following grounds:

  • (a) the primary objective for the Company to enter into the Acquisition was to acquire the Project Land and not to acquire the businesses engaged by the Target Group, which had no connection with the existing business activity of the Group. However, pursuant to the reasons and transfer restrictions as stated above, the Group was restricted from acquiring the Project Land directly and instead had to acquire the PRC Project Company holding the Project Land;

  • (b) as confirmed with the Company’s auditors, the Acquisition will be accounted as an acquisition of an asset instead of an acquisition of a business or a company under the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard 3 (Revised November 2014);

  • (c) the Target Company is an investment company and its sole investment is the PRC Project Company which has ceased all its business since July 2014 and therefore the inclusion of the Relevant Financial Information to the circular of the Company may not represent any meaningful implications applicable as at the time of the Acquisition per se;

  • (d) the Target Company was newly acquired by the Vendor in September 2014 and the Vendor was not in the position to provide the relevant information relating to the PRC Project Company to the Company given that (i) the PRC Project Company had become a dormant company at the time when the Vendor acquired it; (ii) the Vendor was not the party which was originally running the business of the PRC Project Company; and (iii) the relevant personnel and staff of the Vendor have limited access to historical financial data of the PRC Project Company. Further, the Vendor had no access to sales contract, purchase orders to suppliers and breakdown of cost of goods sold at such relevant time;

  • 18 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (e) for the reason as stated in paragraph (d) above, only very limited information in relation to the Target Group’s prior business and financial information was given to the Company, despite the Company’s numerous attempts to seek for the relevant information to be provided prior to Acquisition. Further, given that neither the Vendor nor the Company were a party involved in the original business of the PRC Project Company, the Company would not be in the position to explain and analyse any historical fluctuations in the financial statements of the Target Group including but not limited to the sales, cost of goods sold and the overhead; nor the Company be in any position to provide any comment on the market condition or business strategies. As such, it is impossible for the Company to prepare an unqualified Accountants Report and the MD&A for the purpose of inclusion in the circular of the Company without sufficient underlying documents being provided to the Company;

  • (f) to safeguard the Company’s interests in the Acquisition, it was then agreed between the Purchaser and the Vendor that all the assets (except for any retained cash and land use rights) and the liabilities incurred by the PRC Project Company should be cleared before 19 December 2014 and that no contingent liabilities should have been incurred by the Target Company and/ or the PRC Project Company after the completion of the Acquisition of which the Purchaser and/or the Company shall take responsibility of and a personal guarantee in favour of the Purchaser for the due and complete performance of the Vendor under the Sale and Purchase Agreement was also agreed and provided. As at the date of Completion, relevant personnel of the Company had verified the financial statements of the Target Group and confirmed all, save for the retained cash and land use rights of the PRC Project Company, all other assets and liabilities of the PRC Project Company had been cleared out. Further, an audited report was issued by a PRC auditor which has confirmed the same as at the balance sheet date on 31 December 2014;

  • (g) the Company has obtained the written shareholders’ approval from Mr. Lam Kwok Hing, Medusa Group and Karfun Investment Ltd. approving the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Acquisition contemplated thereunder on 30 October 2014. Given that the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Acquisition contemplated thereunder have been approved by the majority shareholders of the Company in lieu of convening a general meeting, the preparation of a substantially qualified Accountants Report due to limitation of scope for a business which has been ceased since July 2014 and will not form any part of the Group’s businesses in the future will provide very minimal information in relation to the Acquisition which is meaningful for the shareholders of the Company to assess the Acquisition. In particular, the Company will not be in a position to provide the MD&A for the reasons set forth in paragraph (e) above to aid the Shareholders’ consideration of the relevant financial information;

  • (h) as an alternative to the disclosure of the Relevant Financial Information, the Company will include the valuation report of the Project Land into the circular of the Company, which is the primary asset to be acquired by the Company pursuant to the Acquisition; and

  • 19 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (i) as the Acquisition was completed on 31 December 2014, the financial effect of the Acquisition has been disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2014. Accordingly, a pro forma statement of the assets and liabilities of the Group showing the financial effect upon signing the new land grant contract of the Project Land will be included in the circular of the Company.

Importantly, given that the primary objective of the Acquisition was to acquire the Project Land for the Relocation and that no contingent liabilities of the Target Group has been or will be taken up by the Group following the Acquisition, the Company is of the view that the inclusion of the Relevant Financial Information to the circular is not meaningful for the Shareholders to assess the Acquisition.

Accordingly, the Board is of the view that, with the inclusion of the valuation report of the Project Land in the circular, the circular will have contained all the necessary information in relation to the Acquisition which are meaningful and sufficient for the Shareholders to evaluate and assess the Acquisition, even in the absence of the Relevant Financial Information.

11. RECOMMENDATION

The Board considers that the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are fair and reasonable and the entering into of the Sale and Purchase Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

12. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

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

The Directors are of the opinion that, after taking into account the financial resources available to the Enlarged Group including our internally generated funds and the cash flow impact of the Acquisition, the Enlarged Group has sufficient working capital to satisfy its requirements for at least the next 12 months following the date of this circular.

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

Upon Completion, the Company directly hold all the interests in the Target Group and the Target Company has become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the financial information of the Target Company will be consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Group. However, as the Group has not acquired any of the business, customer, product, staff, intangible assets or any other asset or liability, from the Vendor, which falls into the definition of acquisition of business in accordance with HKFRS3. As such, the Enlarged Group has continued to develop its existing businesses upon Completion. Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix II to this circular, there is no change to the net assets recorded by the Group as at 31 December 2014 and as at 31 December 2014 upon fulfilment of Vendor's Undertaking.

With respect to the financial and trading prospects of the business of the Enlarged Group, namely, electroplating equipment business, it is expected to see a softer first half and a better second half for the upcoming year by reference to the shipments made, orders on hands and enquiries under discussion.

Printed Circuit Boards (“PCB”) Sector

Based on the April global purchasing managers index (“PMI”) which was published in May, all six countries’ PMIs (USA, China, Japan, Europe, Germany & France) weakened with China, Japan and France dropping into contraction territory (ie PMI <50). The May data was slightly better, it is expected that world manufacturing growth will accelerate slightly in short term. U.S. PMI rose significantly while Eurozone PMI also experienced with growth varying by country. With the

  • I-2 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP AND THE ENLARGED GROUP

APPENDIX I

exception of India and Vietnam, Asia remained at or near contraction territory. This macro-economic data endorsed the reported PCB shipment values published by various institutes. Although the data so far was not great, it was improving.

  • PCB sales reported by listed companies in Taiwan in first quarter dropped 16.32% whereas the drop in PCB sales has reduced to 0.68% in April[1]

  • Total North American PCB business continues to experience stagnant sales compared to last year but book-to-bill ratio has been positive for the past six months, which is a positive indicator for sales growth in the second and third quarters of 2015[2]

Surface Finishing (“SF”) Sector

In May 2015, China’s foreign direct investment (“FDI”), excluding financial sectors, increased by 7.8% to 57.4 billion yuan from a year earlier, said the Commerce Ministry of China. Although the trend is dropping as the year-on-year rise in April 2015 was 10.5%, the increase in FDI is still an embraced good news as far as SF sector is concerned. The Group has good track records in last few years to deliver successful turn-key FDI projects in China. Several expansion projects put on hold in last year was revived early this year. It was expected that some of these potential orders will be materialized into shipments by end of the year of 2015.

Photo Voltaic (“PV”) Sector

With an expected 55 gigawatts set to be installed, the global PV market will grow 36% in 2015[3] . The growth is significant when one compares it to the 2% growth in 2014. The Asia-Pacific region will install more than half of all global PV this year. Europe will begin an upswing, and North America, primarily the United States, will continue its year-over-year growth. The Enlarged Group has rode on this wave of recovery and shipped a couple of equipment as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Outlook

As stated in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2014, it was reported that the year 2015 will be a difficult year compared to 2014. The Enlarged Group still uphold this view and is working diligently to secure the opportunities which are under discussion now. On the other hands, the Enlarged Group is confident that its financial position will not be worsen off given the tight internal control on working capital and cost control management.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

A. UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of the Enlarged Group (the “ Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities ”) has been prepared in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules for the purpose of illustrating the effects of the Vendor’s Undertaking as if it had been fulfilled on 31 December 2014.

In accordance with the valuation report as set out in Appendix III to this Circular, the valuation of the Project Land assuming the New Land Grant Contract has been approved and obtained is RMB91,500,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$116,022,000) which is in excess of the aggregate amount of pro forma value of the Project Land of HK$100,445,000. For the purpose of the unaudited pro forma financial information, the Directors consider that no impairment loss is considered necessary for the Project Land.

  • (3) For the purpose of the unaudited pro forma financial information, the Directors consider that the fair value of the option to terminate the Sale and Purchase Agreement if the Vendor’s Undertaking cannot be fulfilled within the timeframe pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement is insignificant.

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS' ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

TO THE DIRECTORS OF ASIA TELE-NET AND TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION LIMITED

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of pro forma financial information of Asia Tele-Net and Technology Corporation Limited (the “ Company ”) and its subsidiaries (including Yu Man Limited and its subsidiary) (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “ Enlarged Group ”) by the directors of the Company (the “ Directors ”) for illustrative purposes only. The pro forma financial information consists of the pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as at 31 December 2014 and related notes as set out on pages II-1 to II-3 of the circular dated 3 July 2015 (the “ Circular ”) issued by the Company (the “ Pro Forma Financial Information ”). The applicable criteria on the basis of which the Directors have compiled the Pro Forma Financial Information are described on pages II-1 to II-3 of the Circular.

The Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled by the Directors to illustrate the impact of the Vendor’s Undertaking under the sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of entire issued share capital of Yu Man Limited (the “ Transaction ”) on the Enlarged Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2014 as if the Transaction had taken place at 31 December 2014. As part of this process, information about the Enlarged Group’s financial position has been extracted by the Directors from the Enlarged Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014, on which an audit report has been published.

Directors’ Responsibilities for the Pro Forma Financial Information

The Directors are responsible for compiling the Pro Forma Financial Information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ Listing Rules ”) and with reference to Accounting Guideline 7 Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars (“ AG 7 ”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“ HKICPA ”).

APPENDIX II

Reporting Accountant’s Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by paragraph 4.29(7) of the Listing Rules, on the Pro Forma Financial Information and to report our opinion to you. We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the Pro Forma Financial Information beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3420 Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that the reporting accountant comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Directors have compiled the Pro Forma Financial Information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules and with reference to AG 7 issued by the HKICPA.

For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the Pro Forma Financial Information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the Pro Forma Financial Information.

The purpose of Pro Forma Financial Information included in the Circular is solely to illustrate the impact of the Transaction on unadjusted financial information of the Enlarged Group as if the Transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the Transaction as at 31 December 2014 would have been as presented.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the Pro Forma Financial Information has been properly compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the Directors in the compilation of the Pro Forma Financial Information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the transactions, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

  • The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and

  • The Pro Forma Financial Information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.

The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountant’s judgment, having regard to the reporting accountant’s understanding of the nature of the Enlarged Group, the Transaction in respect of which the Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the Pro Forma Financial Information.

  • II-5 -

3 July 2015

The Board of Directors

Asia Tele-Net and Technology Corporation Ltd

11 Dai Hei Street, Tai Po Industrial Estate, Tai Po, New Territories, Hong Kong

Dear Sirs/Madam,

INSTRUCTIONS

We refer to your instruction for us to value the property interest (“ the Property ”) to be acquired by Asia Tele-Net and Technology Corporation Ltd (the “ Company ”) located in the People’s Republic of China (“ PRC ”). We confirm that we have carried out property inspection, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market value of the Property as at 15 June 2015 (the “ Valuation Date ”).

This letter which forms part of our valuation report explains the basis and methodologies of valuation, clarifying assumptions, valuation considerations, title investigations and limiting conditions of this valuation.

BASIS OF VALUATION

The valuation is our opinion of the market value (“ Market Value ”) which we would define as intended to mean the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably prudently and without compulsion.

Market Value is understood as the value of an asset or liability estimated without regard to costs of sale or purchase and without offset for any associated taxes or potential taxes.

  • III-1 -

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX III

The market value is the best price reasonably obtainable in the market by the seller and the most advantageous price reasonably obtainable in the market by the buyer. This estimate specifically excludes an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangements, joint ventures, management agreements, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any element of special value.

VALUATION METHODOLOGY

We have valued property interests by using the Direct Comparison Approach by making reference to the comparable market transactions/asking cases as available. Comparable properties of similar size, scale, nature, character and location are analysed and carefully weighed against all the respective advantages and disadvantages of each property in order to arrive at a fair comparison of market value.

VALUATION CONSIDERATIONS

In valuing the property interest, we have complied with all the requirements contained in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the HKIS Valuation Standards 2012 Edition.

VALUATION ASSUMPTION

In our valuation, unless otherwise stated, we have assumed that:

  • i. transferable land use rights in respect of the Properties for specific terms at nominal annual land use fees have been granted and that any premium payable has already been fully paid;

  • ii. no deleterious or hazardous materials or techniques have been used in the construction of the Properties; and

  • iii. the Properties are connected to main services and sewers which are available on normal terms.

TITLE INVESTIGATION

We have not, however, searched the original documents to verify ownership or existence of any amendment which does not appear on the copies handed to us. We are not in the position to provide you comments on the title of the Properties and you are advised to seek for the legal opinion regarding to the same from your relevant legal advisors.

LIMITING CONDITIONS

We have conducted on-site inspections to properties located in the PRC at September 2014 by our Mr. Christopher Cheung (Bachelor of Business Administration). We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the interior of the Properties. During the course of our inspections, we did not note any serious defects. However, no structural survey has been made and we are therefore unable to report whether the properties are free from rot infestation or any other defects. No tests were carried out on any of the services.

  • III-2 -

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX III

We have not carried out detailed on-site measurement to verify the correctness of the areas in respect of the property but have assumed that the areas shown on the documents handed to us are correct. All dimensions, measurements and areas are approximate.

We have relied to a considerable extent on information provided by the Group and accepted advices given to us on such matters, in particular, but not limited to tenure, planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, particulars of occupancy, size and floor areas and all other relevant matters in the identification of the Properties.

We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Group. We have also been advised by the Group that no material fact has been omitted from the information supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view, and we have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld.

No allowance has been made in our report for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing neither on the property interest valued nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale.

The reported market value only applies to the whole of the complex or development as a unique interest, and no piecemeal transaction of the complex or development is assumed.

REMARKS

We have valued the property interests in Renminbi (RMB).

We enclose herewith the valuation certificates.

Yours faithfully,
