To the Shareholders

Dear Sir/Madam,

MAJOR TRANSACTION DISPOSAL OF THE ENTIRE ISSUED SHARE CAPITAL IN PAL PROPERTIES INVESTMENT LIMITED

INTRODUCTION

The Board announced that on 5 July 2016, Happy Win, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Disposal Agreement with the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s Guarantor, pursuant to which the Purchaser has conditionally agreed to acquire, and Happy Win has conditionally agreed to sell, the entire issued share capital of the Target Company, together with all outstanding shareholder’s loan standing as at completion, at a consideration of HK$181,950,000.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with the information relating to, among other things, further details regarding the details of the Disposal and other information as required under the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

THE DISPOSAL AGREEMENT

Date: 5 July 2016

The Parties:

  • (i) Happy Win, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as vendor;

  • (ii) Fortune Able Investment Holdings Limited as Purchaser; and

  • (iii) Shenzhen Feng Hua Construction Group Ltd, as the Purchaser’s Guarantor.

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

Subject Matter

Pursuant to the Disposal Agreement, the Purchaser has conditionally agreed to acquire, and Happy Win has conditionally agreed to sell, the entire issued share capital of the Target Company, together with all outstanding shareholder’s loan standing as at completion.

The principal asset of the Target Company is its investment in the PRC Project Company which in turn holds the Project Land. The Project Land comprises two parcels of land located at north of Songbai Road, Gongmin Subdistrict Office, Guangming New District, Shenzhen, the PRC.

The Project Land was acquired by the Group under the Acquisition Agreement. The Project Land originally comprised a site area of 34,367.94 square metres. But further to a land resumption request issued by the Shenzhen Bureau of Land Resources, 21,752 square metres of the Project Land were returned to the local government for the construction of public roads and greenbelt. In return, the PRC Project Company will receive compensation in the aggregate amount of approximately RMB 21,816,000, of which RMB 10,908,000 was received in March 2016. The remaining outstanding amount of RMB10,908,000, if and when refunded, will be refunded to the PRC Project Company and Happy Win will not be entitled to such remaining amount.

The remaining site area of the Project Land is 12,616 square metres and subject to the payment of additional land premium, could build up to a maximum 37,848 square metres of gross floor area. In order to meet the Group’s development plan, the PRC Project Company is in the process of applying to the Shenzhen Bureau of Land Resources to change the usage of the Project Land from pure industrial usage to include research and development office and dormitory purposes.

According to the terms of the Consultancy Service Agreement and the Acquisition Agreement, the expected date to complete the change of usage as well as to enter into the New Land Grant Contract between the PRC Project Company and the Shenzhen Bureau of Land Resources was 30 April 2016. Due to a landslide accident in late-2015, the local government in Gongmin has been busy in the recovery work related to the accident and the subsequent investigation, and the approval process has taken longer than expected as

a result. In accordance with the terms of the Consultancy Service Agreement and the Acquisition Agreement, the Group has the right to extend the agreed deadline if it sees fit. As such, the Group has extended the date of completion of the change of usage to 30 June 2016.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR AND BENEFIT OF THE DISPOSAL

Reference is made to the Company’s announcement dated 9 October 2015. The Project Land is designated for industrial use under the terms of the existing land grant contract. By changing the usage of the Project Land to include research and development office building and dormitory purposes, the Group will enjoy greater flexibility over the Project Land by dividing the buildings on the Project Land into selfuse or for leasing purposes. If the Group proceeds with the application to change the usage of the Project Land and erect the buildings on its own, the Group will have about 24,579 square metres for its production uses and dormitory for its staff and about 13,270 square metres for leasing purpose. It is expected that the earliest time to be able to lease out the research and development office and move into the production plant will be in late 2019.

The Group has relocated its production base to a ready-built factory in Datianyan Industrial Zone, Songgan Street Committee, Baoan District (the “ Songgan Factory ”) under a short term lease, which will expire in August 2016. In December 2015, the Group has successfully extended the lease of the Songgan Factory from August 2016 to August 2018. It is the intention of the Group to discuss with the landlord prior to the expiry of the current lease term to extend such lease further and beyond August 2018.

The Songgan Factory is a better choice to the Company over the Project Land given its flat and high ground clearance production area. Prior to the Songgan Factory being leased out to the Group, the Songgan Factory was used as a steel-making factory with a single floor with high ceiling which is extremely suitable for the Group’s production needs. The electroplating equipment that the Group built is typically tall and large in nature and as such traditional ready-built factory buildings may not normally be suitable for the purpose of the Group. The Songgan Factory is a single storey production plant with a floor area of about 14,600 square metres. Although the floor area of the production plant to be built on the Project Land is close to 20,000 square metres, it will be spreaded over 4-5 storeys due to the limitation of the site area. While the Project Land is fit for the Group’s uses, the Group believes that a single storey production plant will provide the Group with better efficiency than working from a multi-stories production facility. Before the Group entered into the Acquisition Agreement in 2014, the Group has searched for ready-built factory but no suitable facility was identified at that time. As such, the Project Land represented the best available option to the Group then.

While the Group is in the process of applying to change the usage of the Project Land, the Group received an offer from the Purchaser to acquire the entire beneficial interest in the Project Land. If the Group takes up the offer of the Purchaser, it is expected that, after deducting all relevant expenses, the Group will record a profit after taxes of approximately HK$60 million. Therefore, instead of constructing its own production plant from scratch, the Directors consider that it would be beneficial to accept the offer from the Purchaser and keep the Songgan Factory, as the Disposal will offer an attractive return on the Group’s investment on the Project Land. In the mean time, the Company would still have the option of searching for other sites which is better suited for the Group’s long-term production needs.

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

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF AND USE OF NET PROCEEDS

Following completion, members of the Target Group would cease to be subsidiaries of the Company and their financial results will not be included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group. It is estimated that, upon completion, the Group would recognise a gain of approximately HK$60 million which is calculated by reference to the sum of (i) the consideration of HK$181,950,000; and (ii) the estimated net liabilities of approximately HK$8,449,700; less the sum of (i) the estimated shareholder’s loan of approximately HK$113,000,000; and (ii) the estimated transaction costs and taxes attributable to the Disposal Agreement.

The actual financial effect in relation to the Disposal Agreement will be calculated based on the financial information of the Disposal Group as at completion.

The Company intends to utilize the net proceeds of the Disposal to acquire another piece of land as the long term production site for the Group and if no suitable site is located, to apply the net proceeds as general working capital of the Group.

CLOSURE OF THE ACQUISITION AGREEMENT

As a condition of completion of the Disposal Agreement, Gold Beat entered into a closure arrangement for the Acquisition Agreement and the Consultancy Service Agreement with the Vendor and the Vendor’s Guarantor on 5 July 2016 with the Vendor and the Vendor’s Guarantor on the following terms:–

  • (i) the obligations to complete the application in respect of the change of usage for the Project Land as imposed on the Vendor and Vendor’s Guarantor are relieved;

  • (ii) Gold Beat will settle the remaining consideration of RMB16,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$18,560,000) to the Vendor on or before 14 July 2016;

  • (iii) Gold Beat is not required to settle the remaining service fees of RMB2,100,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$2,440,000) to the Vendor as stipulated under the Consultancy Service Agreement.

Given that the Vendor has to cease all its work in progress through no fault on its part, the Group is obliged to honour the outstanding payments under the Acquisition Agreement. Since the application for the change of usage is not completed, the Vendor agreed to waive the payment of the remaining service fees under the Consultancy Service Agreement.

Based on the foregoing, the Directors consider that the entering into of the above arrangements for the closure of the Acquisition Agreement and the Consultancy Service Agreement is on normal commercial terms, and the terms are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

  • 12 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

SERVICE AGREEMENT TO SEARCH FOR ANOTHER SUITABLE SITE

As explained above, it is the intention of the Group to keep searching for other sites which is better suited for the Group’s long-term production needs. The Group has therefore entered into a service agreement with an independent third party to help the Group in searching for a suitable site in Shenzhen. The service agreement is for an engagement of 18-months period commencing from 1st of July 2016 for a total service fee of RMB1,200,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$1,400,000).

3. WORKING CAPITAL

After taking into account (i) the estimated net proceeds from the Disposal; and (ii) the financial resources presently available to the Group including our internally generated funds, the Directors, after due and careful enquiry, are of the opinion that the Group has sufficient working capital to satisfy its present requirements and at least the next 12 months from the date of publication of this circular, in the absence of unforeseeable circumstances.

4. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

The Directors are not aware of any material change in the financial or trading position or outlook of the Group since 31 December 2015, the date to which the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Group were made up, up to and including the Latest Practicable Date.

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS

During the period ended 30 June, 2016 (“ Period Under Review ”), the Group recorded profit attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$5,620,000 compared to the profit attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$27,722,000 for the period ended 30 June, 2015 (“ Previous Period ”). The significant drop in Group’s profit attributable to owners of the Company during the Period Under Review was primarily due to (i) the change from a net positive change recorded in the Previous Period to a net negative change recorded in the Period Under Review in the fair value of investments held for trading and (ii) reduced profit margin from 26% to 21%. As far as the sales of electroplating equipment is concerned, the revenue recorded in the Period Under Review was in fact higher than that of the Previous Period. However, this positive impact was offset by a decrease in gross profit margin as recorded in the Period Under Review. The performance of the Group is further reviewed and elaborated in the following sections.

The basic earnings per share for the Period Under Review was HK1.32 cents compared to the basic earnings per share of HK6.50 cents for the Previous Period.

BUSINESS REVIEW ON ELECTROPLATING EQUIPMENT (UNDER THE TRADE NAME OF “PAL”)

Electroplating Equipment-Printed Circuit Boards (“PCB”) Sector

This sector is traded through our subsidiary Process Automation International Ltd (“ PAL ”).

During the Period Under Review, the revenue in this business area increased to HK$139,903,000 from HK$88,986,000 in Previous Period, representing 57% rise. Out of this total revenue, nearly 44% were shipment made to PRC.

Key drivers for demand of PCBs are mobile devices, car electronics and internet-of-things. Consumers crave advanced technology and that drives the demands. On the other hands, price erosion is severe as there is no sign of strong recovery in economy. This explains why most of the PCB players were busy but were not making substantial profit in first half of 2016. Worldwide PCB output has shrunk in 2015 in terms of dollars and is expected a moderate increase only in 2016.

The June leading indicators published by Markit Economics and ISM provided a snapshot of the global electronic market conditions:–

  • With the exception of China and Japan most countries’ manufacturing activity increased.

APPENDIX I

  • The global manufacturing PMI[2] although weighed down by China and Japan, still increased modestly on a world basis.

  • The USA rebounded.

  • The Eurozone saw a significant increase but it should be noted that most of the June survey was done prior to the UK’s Brexit vote. However, with the exception of France, all major European countries reported a manufacturing expansion (PMI>50) in June.

  • Asia was mixed with China and Japan contracting but Taiwan, S Korea, India, Vietnam and Indonesia expanding.

Europe felt the pain of Brexit as the UK PMI dropped sharply and many other European countries saw weaker July PMIs. In addition global terrorism and political unrest remain major issues but world manufacturing activity seems to be growing.

During the Period Under Review, PAL sold mainly to premium smartphone PCB makers. Since the lines on smartphone PCB are getting thinner and thinner, industrial players have to invest in high-end electroplating equipment in order to support the most advanced smartphone models. Regrettably, although the sales of high-end smartphone is still growing, Gartner[3] said sale of smartphone is expected to grow 7% only in 2016. The era of double digits growth has gone. It is mainly because smartphone markets has reached 90% penetration in the mature markets of North America, Western Europe, Japan and mature Asian countries. Based on the figures released by Gartner, sales of smartphone in 2016 grew 3.9% in quarter one and 4.3% in quarter two on year-on-year basis.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Due to this moderate sales improvement in smartphone, the Group was under price pressure to support our customers and the gross profit margin has dropped by 5% for the Period Under Review.

Electroplating Equipment-Surface Finishing (“SF”) Sector

This sector is traded through our subsidiary PAL Surface Treatment Systems Ltd (“ PSTS ”).

The revenue of SF sector has increased by 510% from approximately HK$23,159,000 in the Previous Period to approximately HK$141,269,000 for the Period Under Review.

While the increased revenue streamed from European and US customers in automobile sector, a majority of their newly established production base was in China in view of the up-rising sales of passenger cars in China. In July 2016, sales were up 26.3% year-on-year to 1.6 million units, the highest monthly growth in 30 months, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers. Sales over the first seven months of the year were up 11% to 12.64 million cars. Vehicle sales, passenger cars plus commercial vehicles, were up 9.84% to 14.68 million units in the first seven months. The possible drawback for any further expansion in China is the difficulty in getting an approval over the environmental assessment when a new plant is being set up.

Another trend we seen in automobile sector is there are more and more auto makers building their new factories in Mexico. Volkswagen AG was the first to set its footprint in Mexico in 2008. At least seven Asian and European auto makers have opened Mexican assembly plants by now, among them are Nissan Motor Co., General Motors Co., Ford Motor Co. and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV. Audi is now finishing a $1.3 billion factory in a Mexico town called San José Chiapa and is expecting to produce the Audi Q5 in 2016. The Mexico’s low wages and improved logistics were part of the draw. But what tipped the scales was Mexico’s unrivaled trade relationships. Mexico had more than 40 different free-trade agreements which provides exporters from Mexico duty-free access to markets that contain 60% of the world’s economic output. Our customers who are the downstream parts-suppliers to these auto makers are following the trend and setting out plan to expand their production capacity in Mexico. During the Period Under Review, the Group has also shipped to and installed equipment in Mexico. Quite a number of quotes were issued for enquires in relation to Mexico sites.

Electroplating Equipment – Photo Voltaic (“PV” or “Solar”) Sector

This sector is traded through our subsidiary Process Automation International Ltd (“ PAL ”).

Sales to PV sector in the Period Under Review has decreased by 99% from approximately HK$46,420,000 in the Previous Period to approximately HK$394,000 for the Period Under Review.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

In March 2016, we wrote in our 2015 Annual Report “according to a forecast released by GTM Research in March 2016, GTM said US solar market will grow by 119% in 2016.” Originally, we were expecting increased orders from our US customers in PV sector for the Period Under Review but then came the headwind:–

  • In the first quarter of 2016, US has only installed 1,665MW of solar PV. With 14.5GW of installations forecast by GTM Research for 2016, the actual performance was down by 1.5GW than was previously predicted. GTM Research analyst Colin Smith explained that this shortfall is largely due to the tax credit extension. Upon the extension, developers have no rush to complete their production facilities.

  • SunEdison Inc., once the fastest-growing U.S. renewable energy company, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in April 2016.

  • Most of the big solar players reported wider losses in first half of 2016.

The economics of renewable energy are a balance between public policies (e.g. subsidies, legislation, etc.), the availability and pricing of alternative energy sources (e.g. crude oil, natural gas, coal, etc.). The fact that the price of crude oil (Brent) fell by 50 percent from approximately $110 per barrel in July 2014 to $50-55 per barrel now would not help sales of renewable energy. The recent undergoing change in the public policies will only add further pressure on the solar players. Authorities are now moving away from making fixed subsidy payments for clean energy and toward a system of auctions. The new system forces solar companies to compete for contracts to sell electricity and has resulted in offers to supply photo voltaic power at record-low rates this year. Bigger markets including Germany and Japan will start the practice next year. Under this new public policies, there are concerns that many of the projects won’t make money but companies are still eager to win the bids in order to get new funding to keep their companies going. Thincapitalized developers will easily go bust under such circumstances and this is not a healthy development as far as the industry is concerned.

Outlook

Although the Group’s recorded profit after taxes was significantly lower year-on-year basis, the key factor attributable to this result was the change from a net positive change recorded in the Previous Period to a net negative change recorded in the Period Under Review in the fair value of investments held for trading. If one ignores the financial impact of this factor, the Group would in fact made a profit of approximately HK$19,000,000 for the Period Under Review. Net negative change in the fair value of investment held for trading was an unrealized losses and brought no impact at all to the cash flow position of the Group.

Performance of next half year will mainly rest on next round of investment in relation to the new smartphone models and the continuation of the car sales growth. PCBs for new smartphone models are switching from high-density interconnect (“ HDI ”) board to substrate-like HDI. Our customers are working diligently to get qualifications over this new process in order to capture the 2017 smartphone shipment orders. If global automobile production continues to gain momentum in the second half of 2016 as in the first half 2016, we are conservatively confident that the Group will continue to report an operating profit throughout this year.

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 31 August 2016 (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.

  • II-1 -

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX II

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.

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 the Property interest 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 Property for specific terms at nominal annual land use fees have been granted and that any premium payable has already been fully paid;

  • ii. the Property is connected to main services and sewers which are available on normal terms;

  • iii. there is no substantial change in the physical conditions of the Property between the Valuation Date and the date of our inspection.

TITLE INVESTIGATION

We have been shown copies of various documents relating to the Property. However, we have not examined the original documents to verify the existing titles to the Property or any amendment which does not appear on the copies handed to us. We have relied considerably on the information given by the Company’s PRC legal advisers, Zhong Lun Law Firm, concerning the validity of the titles to the Property.

LIMITING CONDITIONS

We have conducted on-site inspections to the Property in the PRC on 14 September 2016 by our staff Mr. Christopher Cheung (BSc in Estate Management, BBA) who has 2-year experience in property inspection.

However, we have not carried out any site investigation to determine the suitability of the ground conditions or the services for any property development erected or to be erected thereon. Nor did we undertake archaeological, ecological or environmental surveys for the Property. Our valuation is prepared on the assumptions that these aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary expenses or delays will be incurred during the construction period. Should it be discovered that contamination, subsidence or other latent defects exists in the Property or on adjoining or neighboring land or that the Property had been or are being put to contaminated use, we reserve right to revise our opinion of value.
