LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As set out in announcements of the Company dated 12 January 2006 and 23 January 2006 respectively, the Company proposes to enter into the Supplemental Agreements to extend the term of the Purchase Transaction and the Product Sales Transaction from 31 December 2006 to 31 December 2007. The Company also proposes to set, or revise, where applicable, the annual caps for the year ended 31 December 2005 and the two years ending 31 December 2006 and 2007 in respect of each of the Purchase Transaction and the Product Sales Transaction.

Based on the maximum of the Proposed Annual Caps, the Purchase Transaction and the Product Sales Transaction constitute non-exempt continuing connected transactions for the Company. Accordingly, the Purchase Transaction, the Product Sales Transaction, the Supplemental Agreements and the Proposed Annual Caps are subject to the approval by the Independent Shareholders. Hon Hai, its subsidiaries and associates are required to and will abstain from voting at the EGM regarding the resolutions to be proposed for approving the above matters. The Independent Board Committee has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Purchase Transaction, the Product Sales Transaction, the terms of the Supplemental Agreements and the Proposed Annual Caps.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE TRANSACTIONS

The Purchase Transaction

The Group purchases a significant majority of raw materials and components from the Approved Vendors, including various members of the Hon Hai Group.

Prices of purchases of key raw materials and components from the Approved Vendors are typically pre-agreed between the Group’s customers and the Approved Vendors independently. The Company believes that this approved vendor system helps ensure that the terms of the purchases under the Purchase Transaction are not unfairly beneficial to the suppliers which are connected persons of the Company.

On 19 January 2005, the Company, Hon Hai, Innolux and Foxconn Technology entered into a framework materials and components supply agreement with a view to setting out the principal terms of the Purchase Transaction. Innolux is principally engaged in the manufacture and sale of liquid crystal displays and related products. Foxconn Technology is principally engaged in the manufacture and sale of various thermal and light metal parts. The existing terms of the framework materials and components supply agreement only cover purchases from Hon Hai, its subsidiaries and two associates of Hon Hai, Innolux and Foxconn Technology, but not other associates of Hon Hai. The Company believes that due to the convergence trend of the 3C industries, the Group has been purchasing materials from another associate of Hon Hai and it is possible that the Group may require more materials and components from other members of the Hon Hai Group as the Company believes that Hon Hai and its affiliated companies are key players in the 3C manufacturing service industries.

Accordingly, subject to obtaining the approval of the Independent Shareholders, the Company, Hon Hai, Innolux and Foxconn Technology propose to enter into the Purchase Supplemental Agreement to amend and expand the coverage of the relevant framework agreement to the entire Hon Hai Group. Pursuant to the framework materials and components supply agreement, purchases of materials and components by the Group should be priced:

  1. in respect of purchases from an Approved Vendor, at the prices agreed between the suppliers and the Company’s customers; or

  2. at a price determined by reference to the average market price which shall be agreed between the parties following the provision of a price quoted by the relevant supplier to the Company and the Company comparing such quote with prices available on the market from third parties.

The Product Sales Transaction

As stated in the Prospectus, the Group has from time to time sold products to certain members of the Hon Hai Group.

  • 6 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company entered into a framework product sales agreement with Hon Hai and Innolux on 18 January 2005 pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sell or procure its subsidiaries to sell to Hon Hai, its subsidiaries and Innolux such parts or products manufactured or owned by the Group with reference to the relevant average market prices. The Company and Hon Hai believe that due to the convergence trend of the 3C industries, the Group has sold products to another associate of Hon Hai from time to time and may enter into more transactions with other members of the Hon Hai Group. In view of this, subject to obtaining the approval of the Independent Shareholders, the Company, Innolux and Hon Hai propose to enter into the Product Sales Supplemental Agreement to amend and expand the coverage of the relevant framework agreement to the entire Hon Hai Group. The Product Sales Supplemental Agreement will also clarify the terms in relation to the pricing of the products sold by the Group, pursuant to which the sales of products by the Group should be priced at:

  1. with reference to the average market price;

  2. where there is no market price, on principle of “cost-plus” with the mark-up to be agreed between the parties based upon reasonable commercial principles; and

  3. where none of the above pricing bases is appropriate, at a price to be agreed between the parties based upon reasonable commercial principles.

The Company considers that the Purchase Transaction and the Product Sales Transaction have been carried out and will continue to be carried out in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and on normal commercial terms from the perspective of the Company and the terms of the transactions (as summarized above) are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole.

REASONS FOR THE TRANSACTIONS

The Company believes that it is in its best interests to carry out the Purchase Transaction and the Product Sales Transaction. The reasons for entering into the Purchase Transaction and the Product Sales Transaction are set out below:

The Purchase Transaction

As explained above, Hon Hai is one of the leading players in the 3C industries. Due to the 3C industries convergence trend, an increasing number of types of materials and components manufactured by the Hon Hai Group are used for the manufacture of handsets. The Company believes it is an important competitive advantage of the Group in the handset manufacturing service industry that members of its parent group together with the Group can provide a range of vertically integrated manufacturing services to the customers. Furthermore, a number of the members of the Hon Hai Group are Approved Vendors. The Group is required by its customers to purchase most of the key materials and components from Approved Vendors.

  • 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Product Sales Transaction

The Company consider that it is in its best interests to generate incremental income by carrying out product sales to the Hon Hai Group in response to the needs of the Hon Hai Group by efficiently utilizing the production capacity of the Group from time to time, provided that the Hon Hai Group purchases from the Group at prices comparable to market prices and/or are considered to be fair and reasonable to the Company.

HISTORIC VALUES AND ANNUAL CAPS

The table below sets out (1) the respective values of the Purchase Transaction and the Product Sales Transaction for the six months ended 30 June 2005; and (2) the original annual caps of such transactions under the Waivers.

Note: The figure for the six months ended 30 June 2005 is different from and does not correspond with the amount disclosed in the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2005 as a result of the extension of scope of the transaction to include another member of the Hon Hai Group as a party to the Purchase Transaction. The above figure represents the historical data of the Purchase Transaction for the purposes of the Listing Rules.

PROPOSED ANNUAL CAPS

The Board has considered and resolved that the new annual caps for the Purchase Transaction and the Product Sales Transaction (subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders) be set as follows:

Revised Revised

The Product Sales Transaction 85,300 254,700 500,000
  • 8 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The new annual cap amounts are determined with reference to projections of the Company which in turn were prepared by the Company mainly with reference to the following factors:

  • historical growth rates of the turnover of the Group and the values of the subject transactions;

  • historical percentages of the relevant values of the subject transactions to the turnover of the Group and assuming that such percentages will remain relatively stable;

  • the turnover outlook of the Group;

  • the recent level of the subject transactions in 2005; and/or

  • indications received from the relevant members of the Hon Hai Group.

The Company considers that the new annual cap amounts for each of the Purchase Transaction and the Product Sales Transaction are fair and reasonable.

The Purchase Transaction and the Product Sales Transaction are subject to the annual review requirements under Rules 14A.37 to 14A.38 of the Listing Rules.

EGM

A notice convening the EGM to be held at 2, 2nd Donghuan Road, 10th Yousong Industrial District, Longhua Town, Baoan, Shenzhen, Guangdong, PRC on Tuesday, 28 February 2006 at 3:00 p.m. is set out on pages 26 to 28 of this circular. At the EGM, ordinary resolutions will be proposed for the Independent Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the Purchase Transaction, the Product Sales Transaction, the terms of the Supplemental Agreements, the Proposed Annual Caps and the execution of the Supplemental Agreements.

The ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the EGM will be determined by way of poll by the Independent Shareholders. Hon Hai, the ultimate controlling shareholder of the Company, was interested in approximately 73.02% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. Hon Hai, its subsidiaries and associates are required to and will abstain from voting at the EGM in respect of such resolutions.

FIRST SHANGHAI CAPITAL LIMITED

19th Floor, Wing On House 71 Des Voeux Road Central Hong Kong 10 February 2006

To the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders

Dear Sirs,

CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Purchase Transaction, the Product Sales Transaction, the terms of Supplemental Agreements and the Proposed Annual Caps, details of which are set out in the circular to the Shareholders dated 10 February 2006 (the “Circular”), of which this letter forms part.

LETTER FROM FIRST SHANGHAI

In formulating our opinion, we have relied on the statements, information, opinions and representations contained in the Circular and the information and representations provided to us by the Company. We have assumed that all information, representations and opinions contained or referred to in the Circular, which have been provided by the Company and for which it is solely responsible, are true and accurate at the time they were given and continue to be so at the date hereof. We consider that we have reviewed sufficient information, which enables us to form a reasonable basis for our opinion. We have no reason to suspect that any relevant information has been withheld, nor are we aware of any facts or circumstances that would render the information provided and the representations made to us untrue, inaccurate or misleading. We have not, however, conducted any independent verification of the information provided, nor have we carried out any in-depth investigation into the business, affairs, operation and financial position, and prospects of the Company and the Hon Hai Group.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS CONSIDERED

In formulating our opinion regarding the fairness and reasonableness of the Purchase Transaction, the Product Sales Transaction, the Supplemental Agreements and the Proposed Annual Caps, we have taken into consideration the following principal reasons and factors:

1. Reasons for conducting the Purchase Transaction and the Product Sales Transaction with the connected persons

  • a. Business relationship with the Hon Hai Group

Since its establishment, the Group has been a part of the Hon Hai Group, which is one of the largest global manufacturing services providers in the computer, communications and consumers electronics (“3C”) industries. Within the Hon Hai Group, the Group specializes in manufacturing handsets. As explained in the Prospectus, while the business independence of the Group from the Hon Hai Group has been maintained after the listing of the Shares on the Stock Exchange, the Group continues to keep a close relationship with the Hon Hai Group and a number of connected transactions within the meaning of the Listing Rules including the Purchase Transaction and the Product Sales Transaction. These transactions have been carried out under customers’ requests and for cost effectiveness and operational efficiency purposes. Further, the Company believes that it is an important competitive advantage of the Group in the handset manufacturing service industry that members of its parent group together with the Group are among the leaders in the 3C industries and can provide a range of vertically integrated manufacturing services to its existing and potential customers. To this end, we consider that the entering into of the Purchase Transaction and the Product Sales Transaction with the relevant connected persons concerned is a logical business decision to achieve such purposes.

-13 -

LETTER FROM FIRST SHANGHAI

  • b. Business arrangement amongst the Approved Vendors, the Group and its customers

As advised by the Company, the Group’s customers, like most major OEM cell phone handset suppliers, have a list of Approved Vendors for the manufacturing of their products. To conduct its business, the Group is required by its customers to source a significant majority of raw materials and components for the manufacturing of different models of cell phone handsets from the Approved Vendors including various members of the Hon Hai Group, which are involved in the Purchase Transaction. Based on such business arrangement amongst the Approved Vendors, the Group and its customers, as well as the continuous trend of convergence within the 3C industries, we consider that the entering into of the Purchase Supplemental Agreement for the purposes of the Purchase Transaction is in line with the ordinary course of the business of the Group.

2. Reasons for entering into the Purchase Supplemental Agreement and the Product Sales Supplemental Agreement

As stated in the announcement made by the Company on 12 January 2006 regarding the Purchase Transaction and the Product Sales Transaction, at the time of determining the original annual caps for certain continuing connected transactions covered by the Waivers, the projections made by the Company were lower than the actual value of the transactions, which was partly due to the inadequate historical data for justifying higher cap amounts to the Stock Exchange at that time. The business of the Group has continued to grow rapidly, resulting in significant increase in the level of operations and transactions required to support the Group’s ordinary business. Such growth not only increases the sales of the Group, but also the volume and transaction values of a number of the continuing connected transactions between the Group and the Hon Hai Group. Furthermore, the existing agreement regarding the Purchase Transaction only covers purchases from Hon Hai, its subsidiaries and two associates, but no other associates of Hon Hai, while the existing agreement regarding the Product Sales Transaction only covers sale of parts or products manufactured or owned by the Group to Hon Hai, its subsidiaries and one associate with reference to the relevant average market prices. In addition, the Company believes that the accelerating convergence trend of the 3C industries will result in intensified competition within these industries. Leveraging the Group and Hon Hai Group’s leading positions and expertise in the 3C industries, the Company anticipates increases in customers’ demands for Hon Hai Group’s and the Group’s products and services, and therefore increases in the two transactions between the Company and Hon Hai, its subsidiaries as well as other associates of Hon Hai.

As a result of all the above factors, the values of the Purchase Transaction and the Product Sales Transaction have exceeded their respective annual cap amounts under the Waivers for the year ended 31 December 2005. The following table shows the respective value of the two transactions for the six months ended 30 June 2005 and the original annual caps of such transactions under the Waivers.

-14 -

LETTER FROM FIRST SHANGHAI

Unaudited amount Original cap for Original cap for
for the six months the year ended the year ending
(in US$’000) ended 30 June 2005 31 December 2005 31 December 2006
The Purchase Transaction 116,415 111,800 145,340
The Product Sales Transaction 7,169 16,740 20,080

In view of the above, we consider that it is reasonable for the Company to enter into the Purchase Supplemental Agreement and the Product Sales Supplemental Agreement in order to fulfill its customers’ demand and continue the Group’s expanding business activities while maintaining compliance with the requirements under the Listing Rules.

3. Principal terms of each of the Purchase Supplemental Agreement and Product Sales Supplemental Agreement

Salient terms of the two agreements have been stated in the section headed “Principal terms of the transactions” in the letter from Board. As compared to the features of the respective previous agreements under the Waivers in relation to the Purchase Transaction and the Product Sales Transaction, we noted the following material amendments in the Supplemental Agreements: (a) the tenor of each of the Supplemental Agreements will be extended by one year to 31 December 2007 (automatically renewable for three years (or such other term as allowed under the Listing Rules thereafter subject to compliance with the relevant requirements of the Listing Rules)) (“New Tenor”); (b) the eligible parties transacting with the Group will be extended to cover the entire Hon Hai Group (which includes Hon Hai, its subsidiaries and associates) (“Increased Parties”); and (c) regarding the pricing policy, no amendments have been made to the Purchase Supplemental Agreement while there is certain clarification on the pricing policy for the Product Sales Transaction.

We have reviewed each of the above-mentioned terms in the Supplemental Agreements to assess whether they are fair and reasonable as far as the interests of the Independent Shareholders and the Company as a whole are concerned.

a. New Tenor

Entering into the Purchase Supplemental Agreement and the Product Sales Supplemental Agreement serves to continue the Group’s expanding business activities in the light of the requirements under the Listing Rules. As such, it is reasonable to extend the tenor of each of these agreements to the allowable tenor, i.e. the New Tenor, in order to maximize the Group’s flexibility in conducting its businesses with the connected parties concerned and minimize related compliance costs. Therefore, we consider it fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders to extend the tenor of each of these two Supplemental Agreements to the New Tenor, which is allowable under the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM FIRST SHANGHAI

b. Increased Parties

As discussed in the above paragraph headed “Reasons for conducting the Purchase Transaction and the Product Sales Transaction with the connected persons”, the Group is a part of the Hon Hai Group, which is one of the largest global manufacturing services providers in the 3C industries. As further explained in the above paragraph headed “Reasons for entering into the Purchase Supplemental Agreement and the Product Sales Supplemental Agreement”, the existing agreements in respect of the Purchase Transaction and the Product Sales Transaction only cover Hon Hai, its subsidiaries and certain associates. The Company believes that the continuing convergence trend of the 3C industries would continue to result in increases in the two transactions between the Group and Hon Hai, its subsidiaries and other associates of Hon Hai, as well as the possibility that more members of the Hon Hai Group would become Approved Vendors as mobile phones incorporate more capabilities. As such, it is logical for the Group to conduct its businesses with, other than independent third parties, the relevant group members of the Hon Hai Group and their respective associates. Therefore, we consider that the increased coverage of parties in the respective Supplemental Agreements is fair and reasonable as far as the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

c. Pricing Policy

We have compared the pricing policy as stipulated in each of the Purchase Supplemental Agreement and the Product Sales Supplemental Agreement with that in the relevant previous agreements and noted that there is no material change in terms of pricing policy for the Purchase Transaction while there is certain clarification on the pricing policy for the Product Sales Transaction.

For the Purchase Transaction, pursuant to the framework materials and components supply agreement, purchases of materials and components by the Group should be priced:

  • in respect of purchases from an Approved Vendor, at the prices agreed upon between the suppliers and the Company’s customers; or

  • at a price determined by reference to the average market price which shall be agreed between the parties following the provision of a price quote by the relevant supplier to the Company and the Company comparing such quote with prices available on the market from third parties.

For the Product Sales Transaction, pursuant to the Product Sales Supplemental Agreement, sales of products by the Company should be priced:

  • with reference to the average market price;

  • where there is no market price, on the principle of “cost-plus” with the mark-up to be agreed between the parties based upon reasonable commercial principles; and

  • where none of the above pricing bases is appropriate, at a price to be agreed between the parties based upon reasonable commercial principles.

-16 -

LETTER FROM FIRST SHANGHAI

As illustrated in the above, the pricing policy for the Purchase Transaction is either determined by the suppliers and the Group’s customers or making reference to quotations available from independent third parties. The pricing policy for the Product Sales Transaction is determined by making reference to market price, on a cost-plus basis, or based on reasonable commercial principles. We consider that the determination of such pricing policy is fairly and reasonably made as far as the interest of the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

4. Proposed Annual Caps

The following table shows the Proposed Annual Caps for the Purchase Transaction and the Product Sales Transaction under the relevant Supplemental Agreements, the relevant original caps and actual sales.

For the six For the year For the year For the year
months ended ended 31 ending 31 ending 31
(US$’000) 30 June 2005 December 2005 December 2006 December 2007

Original caps n/a 16,740 20,080 n/a
Actual amount 7,169 n/a n/a n/a

As set out in the paragraph headed “Proposed Annual Caps” in the letter from the Board and as discussed with the Company, the Proposed Annual Caps are determined with reference to projections of the Company which in turn were prepared by the Company mainly with reference to the following factors:

  • historical growth rates of the turnover of the Group and the values of the subject transactions;

  • historical percentages of the relevant values of the subject transactions to the turnover of the Group and assuming that such percentages will remain relatively stable;

  • the turnover outlook of the Group;

  • the recent level of the subject transactions in 2005; and/or

  • indications received from the relevant members of the Hon Hai Group.

-17 -

LETTER FROM FIRST SHANGHAI

To assess whether the determination of the Proposed Annual Caps are reasonable, we have performed the following analyses:

  • (i) Review of historical transactions

In assessing whether the Proposed Annual Caps for financial year 2005 of each of the Purchase Transaction and the Product Sales Transaction are reasonable, we have reviewed the relevant actual transaction amounts for 2005 and concluded that the Proposed Annual Caps for financial year 2005 are fairly set to cover the estimated amount of transactions under the Purchase Transaction and the Product Sales Transaction.

In assessing whether the Proposed Annual Caps for the financial years 2006 and 2007 in each of the Purchase Transaction and the Product Sales Transaction are reasonable, we have reviewed the Group’s historical turnover growth rates and the values of the Purchase Transaction and Product Sales Transaction compared to turnover, as shown in the table below:

Year ended Six months
31 December ended 30 June
2002 2003 2004 2005
Turnover (US$’000) 272,410 1,090,623 3,308,270 2,348,372
Year-on-year growth 3,567% 300% 203% 82%
Percentage of transaction value
to turnover
Purchase Transaction 17.45% 2.98% 2.84% 4.96%
Product Sales Transaction 0.56% 0.16% 0.31%

From the above, we noted that there was very high, though decreasing, growth in the Group’s turnover throughout the periods above. Furthermore, the percentages of the Purchase Transaction and Product Sales Transaction values to turnover have risen significantly since 2004. As disclosed in the Company’s announcement on 23 January 2006, the Purchase Transaction’s percentage has increased even more in the six months ended 31 December 2005, causing the Company to further revise the Proposed Annual Caps for this transaction.

(ii) Review of projections prepared by the Group

In addition to the historical transaction values, in assessing whether the Proposed Annual Caps for the financial years 2006 and 2007 in each of the Purchase Transaction and the Product Sales Transaction are reasonable, we have taken into account the following:

  • Periodically, the Group discusses with its major customers regarding expected sales orders in the coming years. The Group in turn uses such indications to project its sales in the relevant periods to the relevant customers and to determine the Proposed Annual Caps. We have reviewed the Group’s internal projected sales for 2006 and

-18 -

LETTER FROM FIRST SHANGHAI

discussed with the Company regarding its assumptions, in particular the potential growth of the global handset industry, potential increase of its major customers’ market share in the global handset industry and the increasing trends of convergence in the 3C industries and OEM outsourcing which are beneficial to the Group’s business and its share in its customers’ businesses. We consider that such forecasts serve as a reasonable reference for the business projections of the Group. Having said that, the future industrial growth of handset industry is subject to a number of uncertainties including rapid technological changes, popularity of each handset brand and penetration rate of mobile handset in the global telecommunication industry, which could affect the reliability of these forecasts. In light of the historical growth of the Purchase Transaction values and factors that may affect the reliability of turnover forecasts, we consider that the inclusion of a general buffer of 10% for the Proposed Annual Caps of the Purchase Transaction fair and reasonable.

  • The Group and the Hon Hai Group have established a long term and close business relationship with the Group’s major customers so that the Group is working closely with each of its customers, on a wide range of projects and products at different stages in the product development and manufacturing cycles. Such working relationship keeps the Group as a strategic end-to-end manufacturing services partner to its major customers, including two of the leading international brand name OEMs in the handset industry. As informed by the Group, the accelerating convergence trend in the 3C industries has resulted in more members of the Hon Hai Group becoming Approved Vendors. The Company expects that such increase will continue given the Hon Hai Group and the Group’s strategic relationships with major customers and has taken this into account in setting the Proposed Annual Caps for the Purchase Transaction and the Product Sales Transaction. Given the strategic relationship amongst the Hon Hai Group, the Group and its customers, we consider it a reasonable approach to take into account this factor in setting Proposed Annual Caps for the coming financial years 2006 and 2007.

Having considered the above factors, we consider the Proposed Annual Caps are reasonably determined.

5. Conditions of the Proposed Annual Caps

There are certain conditions relating to annual caps pursuant to the Listing Rules, in particular, (i) restricting the values of non-exempt continuing connected transactions of the Company by way of annual caps for each of the financial years ended 31 December 2005 and ending 31 December 2006 and 2007, (ii) ongoing review by the independent non-executive Directors and auditors of the Company of the terms of such non-exempt continuing connected transactions and (iii) ensuring that the relevant Proposed Annual Caps would not be exceeded, details of which must be included in the Company’s published annual report and accounts for each of the financial years concerned. In addition, pursuant to the Listing Rules, the Company shall publish an announcement if it knows or has reason to believe that the independent non-executive Directors and/or the auditors will not be able to confirm the terms of the non-exempt continuing connected transactions or that the relevant Proposed Annual Caps have been exceeded. We are

-19 -

LETTER FROM FIRST SHANGHAI

of the view that there are appropriate measures in place to govern the conduct of the non-exempt continuing connected transactions and safeguard the interests of the shareholders of the Company. Further, the Company is in the process of reviewing its internal control procedures in respect of the monitoring of continuing connected transactions with a view to ensuring timely compliance with the relevant requirements under the Listing Rules in future.

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the above, we are of the opinion that the Purchase Transaction, the Product Sales Transaction and the terms of the Supplemental Agreements are on normal commercial terms, in the ordinary course of business, fair and reasonable, and that the Proposed Annual Caps are also fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned and all are in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we would advise the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolutions to approve the aforesaid at the EGM.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of First Shanghai Capital Limited Helen Zee Byron Tan Managing Director Managing Director
