Upon completion of the Disposal, Foxconn Precision will no longer be a subsidiary of the Company and shall become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Hon Hai through Prime Rich.
The Disposal contemplated in the Equity Transfer Agreement constitutes a connected transaction for the Company, on the basis that Prime Rich is a connected person of the Company, since Prime Rich is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Hon Hai, which is the ultimate controlling Shareholder interested in approximately 70.58% of the entire issued share capital of the Company.
The Disposal also constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company under Rule 14.06 of the Listing Rules, on the basis that one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under Rule 14.04(9), Rule 14.07 and Rule 14A.10(10) of the Listing Rules) of the Disposal exceeds 5% but is less than 25%.
The total consideration payable by Prime Rich to Grand Champion is RMB463,274,241 for the entire equity interest of Foxconn Precision, which shall be paid within 20 working days after the relevant approvals to the Equity Transfer Agreement have been obtained from the relevant government authorities in the PRC and Taiwan.
The Company has formed an Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders on the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement.

The purposes of this circular are:
-
(a) to provide you with further details of the Equity Transfer Agreement;
-
(b) to set out the recommendations from the Independent Board Committee and the advice of CIMB as Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders on the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement; and
-
(c) to give the Shareholders notice of the EGM to be convened for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving (inter alia) the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement.
To the best knowledge, belief and information of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, (save and except Hon Hai, its subsidiaries and associates that are required to abstain from voting on the resolution in relation to the Disposal) no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the resolution put forward at the EGM.

Interest to be disposed of

Consideration
The consideration for the entire equity interest of Foxconn Precision payable by Prime Rich to Grand Champion is RMB463,274,241 (being the Consideration) which shall be paid by Prime Rich to Grand Champion within 20 working days after the relevant government approvals have been obtained.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Completion of the Disposal
The Disposal shall be completed upon:
-
(a) obtaining approval to the Equity Transfer Agreement from (i) the Investment Commission of the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Taiwan; and (ii) the Department of Commerce, Shanxi Province, PRC; and
-
(b) the Independent Shareholders approving the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement by way of poll in manner as required under and in full compliance with the Listing Rules at the EGM.
On the Completion Date, Foxconn Precision shall have fully repaid the following intercompany loans by using funds provided by the subsidiaries of Hon Hai:–
-
(a) a foreign debt of US$200 million plus accrued interest to be repaid to the Company provided that Foxconn Precision must have obtained prior approval from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of the PRC (中華人民共和國國家外匯管理 局) before repaying such loan to the Company; and
-

Completion of the Equity Transfer Agreement will take place on the Completion Date.
Basis of Consideration
The assets of Foxconn Precision comprise lands and buildings as stated in the Independent Valuation Report issued by the Independent Valuer.
The market value of the lands and buildings is determined with reference to a valuation carried out by Shenzhen Guozi, an independent professional valuer. Shenzhen Guozi conducted a valuation on the lands and buildings as at 31 December 2010, being RMB1,141,059,239, which formed the basis of the Consideration. On 28 February 2011, Shenzhen Guozi has conducted an updated valuation on the lands and buildings, details of which are listed out in the Independent Valuation Report which was set out in Appendix II to this circular, for the purpose of complying with Rule 5.07 of the Listing Rules.
The Consideration is determined by reference to the net asset value of Foxconn Precision as at 31 December 2010 of RMB409,352,368 and adjusted for the revaluation surplus of RMB53,921,873.
The original net investment cost in Foxconn Precision was approximately RMB155,200,000.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
3. REASONS FOR THE DISPOSAL
The principal reason for the Disposal is that the Company wishes to continue to consolidate its operation and production plants in the PRC and will therefore concentrate on the development and running of the production plants in Langfang, Beijing and Tianjin, PRC. As a result, the Company, in the intermediate term, has no need of the land and production plant at Taiyuan, PRC, whilst Hon Hai at this material time has an immediate need for factory space to expand its production capacity in Taiyuan, PRC.
The Directors consider that the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement are fair and reasonable and are normal commercial terms and that the Disposal is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. In view of their relationships with Hon Hai, Mr. Chang Ban Ja, Jimmy, Mr. Lee Jin Ming and Ms. Gou Hsiao Ling (all being Directors) had abstained from voting on the Board’s resolution in relation to the Disposal.
4. FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL
The Group expects to make a gain from the Disposal at completion in the following manner:
-
the Consideration is determined by reference to the net asset value (the “NAV”) of Foxconn Precision as at 31 December 2010 and the Adjustments for Revaluation Surplus, that is, the Consideration takes into account the NAV which is adjusted by adding onto the NAV the revaluation surplus;
-
the determination of the final Consideration takes into account the adjusted NAV of Foxconn Precision as at the Completion Date (the “Adjusted NAV”) and the Adjustments for Revaluation Surplus;
-
the expected gain is obtained by the final Consideration minus the Adjusted NAV and is in the form and amount of the revaluation surplus; and
-
cumulative exchange differences in respect of the net assets of Foxconn Precision reclassified from equity to profit or loss on the Disposal.
In view of the above, the estimated expected gain from the Disposal is approximately RMB223,921,873 which comprises (i) the difference between the final Consideration and the Adjusted NAV and is in the form and amount of the revaluation surplus and (ii) cumulative exchange differences in respect of the net assets of Foxconn Precision.
The net proceeds from the Disposal of approximately RMB463,274,241 will be used as general working capital of the Group.
As a result of the Disposal, the earnings and net assets of the Company will increase.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
7. LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
Hon Hai is the ultimate controlling Shareholder interested in approximately 70.58% of the entire issued share capital of the Company. Accordingly, Prime Rich, as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Hon Hai, is a connected person of the Company. Therefore, the Disposal constitutes a connected transaction of the Company and is subject to the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
Hon Hai and its associates will abstain from voting in the EGM which is to be convened to approve the Disposal. As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under Rule 14.04(9), Rule 14.07 and 14A.10(10) of the Listing Rules) of the Disposal exceeds 5% but is less than 25%, the Disposal constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company under Rule 14.06 of the Listing Rules.
As each of the assets ratio and consideration ratio in respect of the Disposal are more than 5%, and the total consideration is more than HK$10,000,000, pursuant to Rule 14A.32 of the Listing Rules, the Disposal is subject to the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules.
The transactions also constitute a discloseable transaction for the Company under Rule 14.06(2) of the Listing Rules, on the basis that the calculation of the consideration ratio is within the range of 5% and 25%.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, and to the best knowledge, belief and information of the Directors, and having made all reasonable inquiries, (save and except Hon Hai, its subsidiaries and associates that are required to abstain from voting on the resolution in relation to the Disposal) no Shareholder is required under Rule 14A.18 of the Listing Rules to abstain from voting on the resolution regarding the Equity Transfer Agreement at the EGM. Hon Hai as the ultimate controlling Shareholder holds, through its direct wholly-owned subsidiary, Foxconn (Far East) Limited, the aggregate number of 5,081,034,525 Shares representing approximately 70.58% of the entire issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.
The Company has formed an Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether the Equity Transfer Agreement is fair and reasonable. An Independent Financial Adviser has been appointed to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders on the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement.
8. EGM
A notice convening the EGM is set out on pages 67 and 68 of this circular. An ordinary resolution will be proposed to the Independent Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, to approve, among other things, the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement. The vote of the Independent Shareholders at the EGM will be taken by poll pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
As at the Latest Practicable Date, and to the best knowledge, belief and information of the Directors, and having made all reasonable inquiries, (save and except Hon Hai, its subsidiaries and associates that are required to abstain from voting on the resolution in relation to the Disposal) no Shareholder is required under Rule 14A.18 of the Listing Rules to abstain from voting on the resolution regarding the Equity Transfer Agreement at the EGM.
A form of proxy for use at the EGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you are able to attend the EGM, you are requested to complete the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the branch share registrar of the Company in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong as soon as possible, but in any event not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for holding the EGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not prevent Shareholders from attending and voting in person at the EGM or any adjournment thereof if they so wish.
9. RECOMMENDATION
The Board considers the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement are fair and reasonable, are normal commercial terms and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Board recommends the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the EGM to approve the transactions contemplated under the Equity Transfer Agreement.
10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Your attention is drawn to the letters from the Independent Board Committee and CIMB in this circular. As set out in the letter from the Independent Board Committee, the Independent Board Committee considers that the entering into of the Equity Transfer Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and concurs with the views of CIMB that the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement are fair and reasonable so far as the Shareholders as a whole are concerned and therefore, recommends the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to approve the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement.

IntrodUctIon
We refer to our engagement as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders of the Company to recommend whether the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement, details of which are contained in a circular (the “Circular”) of the Company to the Shareholders dated 28 April 2011 of which this letter forms part, are fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms and whether the Equity Transfer Agreement is in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as whole, and to advise the Independent Shareholders how to vote at the EGM. Expressions used in this letter shall have the same meanings as defined in the Circular unless the context otherwise requires.
On 18 March 2011, Grand Champion, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Equity Transfer Agreement with Prime Rich, pursuant to which Grand Champion has agreed to sell, and Prime Rich has agreed to purchase, the entire equity interest in Foxconn Precision at a cash consideration of RMB463,274,241, subject to adjustment. Prime Rich is a connected person of the Company for the purpose of the Listing Rules by virtue of the fact that Prime Rich is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Hon Hai, the ultimate controlling Shareholder of the Company. Therefore, the Disposal constitutes a non-exempt connected transaction of the Company and is subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the EGM under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Hon Hai and its respective associates will abstain from voting on the resolution to approve the Disposal.
An independent board committee comprising Mr. Lau Siu Ki, Mr. Chen Fung Ming and Dr. Daniel Joseph Mehan, being the independent non-executive Directors, has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders on the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement.

We have also been advised by the Directors and believe that no material facts have been omitted from the Circular.
We consider that we have reviewed sufficient information to reach an informed view, to justify reliance on the accuracy of the information contained in the Circular and to provide a reasonable basis for our recommendation.

Foxconn Precision is principally engaged in the business of handset manufacturing in the PRC and its production facilities are located in Taiyuan in Shanxi Province.
The following is a summary of the audited financial information (prepared under PRC Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) relating to Foxconn Precision for the two years ended 31 December 2010 adjusted in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS):

Foxconn Precision has been loss-making for the two years ended 31 December 2010, recording losses before taxation (under IFRS) of RMB235,826,547 and RMB122,277,930 respectively. The principal assets of Foxconn Precision comprise lands and buildings, machinery and equipment, trade and other receivables, and prepaid lease payments.
As set out in the letter from the Board, the principal reason for the Disposal is that the Company wishes to continue to consolidate its operation and production plants in the PRC. We understand from the management of the Company that the production plant in Taiyuan is under-utilised while the Company’s plants in other locations have excess capacity. The Disposal will therefore allow the Company to concentrate on the development and running of the production plants in Langfang, Beijing and Tianjin, PRC. As a result, the Company, in the intermediate term, has no need of the land and production plant at Taiyuan, PRC.

Letter from the Independent fInancIaL advIser
Having considered the aforesaid, in particular (i) the Disposal allows the Company to realise an under-utilised plant at a gain on an adjusted book value basis which includes the revaluation surplus arising from the revaluation of the lands and buildings as elaborated below; (ii) the Disposal enables the Group to consolidate its operation and production plants in the PRC and to concentrate on the development and running of the production plants in Langfang, Beijing and Tianjin, PRC; and (iii) net proceeds from the Disposal will improve the Group’s cashflow and allow it to focus its financial resources on the production plants in Langfang, Beijing and Tianjin, PRC, we concur with the Directors’ view that the Disposal is in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.
3. consideration
The initial Consideration payable by Prime Rich to Grand Champion under the Disposal is RMB463,274,241, which is determined by reference to the net asset value of Foxconn Precision as at 31 December 2010 of RMB409,352,368 and adjusted for the revaluation surplus of RMB53,921,873 (the “Property Revaluation Surplus”) arising from the revaluation of its lands and buildings as valued by Shenzhen Guozi. The final Consideration is subject to the net asset value of Foxconn Precision as at the Completion Date and further adjustments as described below pursuant to the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement (the “Consideration Adjustment Amount”):
-
a) if the net asset value as at the Completion Date and the Adjustments of Revaluation Surplus is less than the Consideration, Grand Champion shall pay the shortfall in cash to Prime Rich but in any event such amount shall not exceed 10% of the Consideration; and
-
b) if the net asset value as at the Completion Date and the Adjustments of Revaluation Surplus is more than the Consideration, Prime Rich shall pay the excess in cash to Grand Champion but in any event such amount shall not exceed 10% of the Consideration.
The Disposal shall be completed, and the initial Consideration of RMB463,274,241 shall be payable in cash by Prime Rich to Grand Champion and the Consideration Adjustment Amount, if any, shall be payable by Prime Rich or Grand Champion as the case may be, within 20 working days after obtaining the following government approvals to the Equity Transfer Agreement:–
-
a) the approval from the Investment Commission of the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Taiwan; and
-
b) the approval from the Department of Commerce, Shanxi Province, PRC.
-
16 -
Letter from the Independent fInancIaL advIser
On the Completion Date, Foxconn Precision shall have fully repaid all the outstanding loan amounts plus accrued interest under the following inter-company loans due by Foxconn Precision to the Company and its subsidiaries (the aggregate balance of which was of approximately RMB1,554 million as at 31 December 2010) (the “Inter-company Loans”) by using funds provided by the subsidiaries of Hon Hai:–
-
a) a foreign debt of US$200 million plus accrued interest to be repaid to the Company provided that Foxconn Precision must have obtained prior approval from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of the PRC (中華人民共和國國家外匯管理局) before repaying such loan to the Company; and
-
b) an entrusted loan of RMB1,150 million plus accrued interest to be repaid to 深圳富泰宏 精密工業有限公司 (Shenzhen Futaihong Precision Industrial Co., Ltd.[*] ), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
We understand that the Consideration was arrived at based on arm’s length negotiation between the parties by reference to the net asset value of Foxconn Precision as at 31 December 2010 of RMB409,352,368 and adjusted for the Property Revaluation Surplus of RMB53,921,873.
In assessing the fairness of the Consideration, we have taken all reasonable steps as required under Rule 13.80(2)(b) of the Listing Rules in relation to Shenzhen Guozi, including discussion with Shenzhen Guozi the methodology of and basis and assumptions adopted for the valuation of Foxconn Precision’s property interests and review of the underlying supporting documents. Shenzhen Guozi has adopted replacement cost approach in respect of buildings and the market approach in respect of lands, which in our opinion, is a normal approach in establishing the market value of the assets of Foxconn Precision. Considering the fact that (i) Foxconn Precision is loss-making in the past two years; (ii) the Consideration was determined based on arm’s length negotiation between the parties primarily with reference to (a) net asset value of Foxconn Precision as at 31 December 2010 of RMB409,352,368; and (b) adjusted for the Property Revaluation Surplus of RMB53,921,873 as valued by Shenzhen Guozi; and (iii) the final Consideration being subject to the net asset value of Foxconn Precision as at the Completion Date, we are of the opinion that the Consideration is fair and reasonable.
4. possible financial effects of the disposal
Gain from the Disposal and net asset value
Upon completion of the Disposal, the Group will cease to have any interest in Foxconn Precision in the PRC.
As stated in the Letter from the Board, the initial Consideration was arrived by reference to the net asset value of Foxconn Precision as at 31 December 2010 of RMB409,352,368 and adjusted for the Property Revaluation Surplus of RMB53,921,873. In addition, the Company expects a foreign exchange gain due to the cumulative exchange differences in respect of the net assets of Foxconn Precision reclassified from equity to profit or loss on the Disposal (the “Foreign Exchange Gain”). As a result, the estimated expected gain from the Disposal
- 17 -
Letter from the Independent fInancIaL advIser
is approximately RMB223,921,873, which consists of (i) the Property Revaluation Surplus of RMB53,921,873, which is based on initial Consideration of RMB463,274,241 and the net asset value of Foxconn Precision (under IFRS) as at 31 December 2010 of RMB409,352,368; and (ii) the Foreign Exchange Gain of RMB170,000,000.
Immediately upon completion of the Disposal, the Company’s consolidated net asset value will be increased by the Property Revaluation Surplus.
As the final Consideration is subject to the net asset value of Foxconn Precision as at the Completion Date and further adjustments pursuant to the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement, the actual gain on the Disposal and hence the increase in net asset value will be calculated on the Completion Date of the Disposal.
Working capital
Given the Consideration will be satisfied in full in cash, the Company will expect an increase in cash of approximately RMB463,274,241 before taking into account the Consideration Adjustment Amount and legal and professional fees in relation to the Disposal immediately following completion of the Disposal. In addition, given the full repayment of the Intercompany Loans on the Completion Date, the Company’s cash position will be further increased by an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Inter-company Loans (which balance was approximately RMB1,554 million as at 31 December 2010 based on Foxconn Precision’s management accounts). As set out in the Letter from the Board, the net proceeds from the Disposal will be used as general working capital of the Group.
recommendatIon
Having considered the principal factors and reasons referred to in the above, we are of the opinion that the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned and the entering into of the Equity Transfer Agreement is in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the EGM to approve the entering into of the Equity Transfer Agreement.
Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of cImB securities (hK) Limited

-
The report is effective for one year (from 18 April 2011 up to 17 April 2012) during which no significant volatility shall occur in macro real estate market, or otherwise, subject to re-valuation in case of such volatility or expiry of the one-year period.
-

IV. other matters
-
We accept no appraisal risk or liability arising from any inadequacy of legitimacy, truthfulness or completeness in respect of the information and data provided by the Principal or any material issue or fact in relation to the subject properties which has been withheld by the Principal or relevant parties.
-
We did not conduct internal structure test or inspection on facilities of the subject properties and therefore is unable to confirm whether there is any damage or loss in the internal structure or facilities.
-
Given the current absence of Building Ownership Certificate for certain subject properties hereunder, the gross floor area of such properties is determined with reference to the information set out in the Construction Planning Permit provided by the Principal for the purpose of the valuation, subject to adjustment in case of any inconsistency with the information set out in the final Building Ownership Certificate.
-
We have been shown copies of various title documents including State-owned Land Use Rights Certificates and Building Ownership Certificates and Construction Planning Permits relating to the property interests and have made relevant enquiries. Where possible, we have examined the original documents to verify the existing title to the property interests in the PRC and any material encumbrance that might be attached to the property interests or any tenancy amendment. We have relied considerably on the advice given by the Company’s PRC legal advisors – Zhonglun W&D, concerning the validity of the property interests in the PRC, which pointed out that:
-
(i) the 2 State-owned Land Use Right Certificates, 21 Building Ownership Certificates and 3 Construction Planning Permits held by Foxconn Precision are consistent with those set out in the register and are true and valid; and
-
(ii) as Foxconn Precision has legally obtained the aforementioned 2 State-owned Construction Land Use Right Certificates, 21 Legal Building Ownerships and 3 Construction Planning Permits, therefore the issuance of the Building Ownership Certificate could be applied for in accordance with statutory procedures upon the completion of the aforementioned 3 constructions as to obtain the legal ownership.

-
The valuation hereunder represents the value of the subject properties with perfect title. For buildings, it represents the value of the subject properties which have passed fire control examination and completion acceptance. The valuation conclusion is subject to adjustment in case of any inconsistency between the status quo of the subject properties and the valuation assumption.
-
Given the requirement of the Principal and actual conditions of the subject properties, D9 and D10 plants are partly used for leasing as investment properties and partly for self-use, and are therefore divided into two parts for the purpose of the valuation.

VII. Definition of value
For the purpose of the valuation, land value refers to market value arrived at through reasonable sale on open market under planned utilisation conditions for the land; building value is based on replacement cost value for reconstruction of properties with same function and utility of the subject properties according to the price level at the valuation date, deducted by depreciation.
VIII. Valuation principles
1. The principle of legitimacy
Under the principle of legitimacy, a valuation shall be based on the prerequisite of legitimate entitlement of real estate. A valuation shall be conducted conditional upon legitimate use and disposal of the subject properties. Legitimacy refers to the compliance with the State’s laws and regulations and the relevant provisions of local government upon which the entitlement can be protected under the laws and the value of entitlement can be reflected. Given the restrictions on usage and area of the subject properties as set out in their title certificates, we conducted the valuation on property prices on the prerequisite that such title certificates are legitimate.
- 43 -
INDEPENDENt VAluAtIoN REPoRt
APPENDIX II
2. The principle of valuation date
The valuation conclusion shall be the objective and reasonable price or value of the subject properties as at the valuation date. As market changes from time to time, property value can be definite only at a certain time point (instead of a period of time), which is taken as the valuation date at which the market is assumed to suspend for the purpose of the valuation. As the valuation is designed to determine current value of properties, the property prices under the valuation which are on the current basis are closely related to real estate laws and regulations promulgated by the governments and therefore subject to the dates on which they are published, amended and implemented. Accordingly, we take the date of field survey on the subject properties as the valuation date, which is in accordance with the principle of valuation date.
3. The principle of the highest and best utilisation
The principle is on the basis of the highest and best utilisation of properties, namely, the valuation is made based on the usage and development mode for a maximum of income from the subject properties. Meanwhile, the principle of most efficient utilisation is based on the premise of the principle of legitimacy. According to legal restriction stated on the building ownership certificates and taking into consideration of both regional and own conditions of the subject properties, we choose the usage determined in the building ownership certificates as the most efficient utilisation way of the subject properties for the valuation.
4. The principle of substitution
The valuation conclusion shall not deviate apparently from normal prices of similar properties at the same conditions. The prices of similar properties in terms of usage, scale, grade and construction structure, due to their mutual interaction effect, tend to be consistent within the same scope of supply and demand.
5. The principle of independency, objectiveness and impartiality
The valuation is made on the fair and unbiased basis to give a view of the objective and reasonable prices of the subject properties. We have no personal relationships or interest in the subject properties hereunder nor any interest in or prejudice to any relevant parties. In strict compliance with relevant regulations and provisions of the PRC and following necessary valuation procedures and principles, we have conducted field survey and market investigation to understand the real estate supply and demand and the influencing factors of real estate prices, upon which the valuation of the subject properties is prepared on the impartial, objective and reasonable basis.

APPENDIX II
IX. Valuation approaches
Under the Code for Real Estate Appraisal, the generally accepted valuation approaches include market approach, income approach, hypothetical development method, cost approach, and benchmark land price coefficient correction method. Valuation approaches based on market approach should be adopted where conditions permit; for valuation of properties with income generation, income approach should be included. For valuation of properties with investment and development or redevelopment potential, hypothetical development method should be included. Where it is inappropriate to adopt market approach, income approach and hypothetical development method for valuation due to the absence or insufficiency of market basis, cost approach can be taken as the principal valuation approach.
Based on in-depth and prudent analysis of the characteristics and actual conditions of the subject properties, the study on information provided by the Principal and the field survey and investigation, the appraisers are of opinion that: market approach is adopted for valuation of the land parcels given their industrial usage and location at No. 1 Longfei Street, Taiyuan Economic and Technological Development Zone where a developed land market with adequate transaction cases is available; and cost approach is adopted for valuation of the buildings as they are stated at cost.
Market approach: under this approach, the subject properties are compared with similar properties transacted near the valuation date in order to arrive at the objective and reasonable price or value of the subject properties based on appropriate adjustments to the known prices of such similar properties.
Calculation formula of market approach
Price of the subject property = Σ Adjusted price of comparable case x Weight
Adjusted price of comparable case = Transaction price of comparable case x Correction coefficient for transaction status x Adjusted coefficient for transaction timing x Adjusted coefficient for regional factor x Adjusted coefficient for individual factors
Cost approach is an approach under which the valuation is arrived at based on re-acquisition price of the subject properties as at the valuation date less the depreciation.
Re-acquisition price refers to the necessary expenditure that would occur for re-acquisition of brand new subject properties as at the valuation time point, or the necessary expenditure for redevelopment and reconstruction of brand new subject properties plus the reasonable profit.
Re-acquisition price of building = Building installation expenditure + Professional fee + Management expenditure + Selling expenditure + Investment interest + Sales tax and surcharge + Development profit
