The considerations under the Assets Transfer Agreements were determined after arm’s length negotiations between the respective parties with reference to the total appraised values of the Lands and Buildings, being RMB474,870,000, and the appraised net assets value of YTO Injection Pump, being RMB116,980,000, as at 31 March 2011. As opposed to the valuation approach stated in the Announcement, the appraisals of the buildings under the Assets Transfer Agreements were conducted by using the replacement cost approach (重置成本法) whilst the appraisals of the lands under the Assets Transfer Agreements were conducted by using the market comparison approach (市場比較 法) and cost approach (成本逼近法) [Note] , all of which were prepared by Renda Real Estate Appraisal Co. Ltd (北京仁達房地產評估有限公司), a PRC independent professional valuer. The appraisal of YTO Injection Pump was conducted by using the asset based valuation approach, which was prepared by Beijing China Enterprise Appraisals Company, Inc. (北京中企華資產評估有限責任公司), a PRC independent professional valuer.

As the considerations under the Assets Transfer Agreements were determined with reference to the appraised values of the Lands and Buildings and the appraised net assets value of YTO Injection Pump, all of which were provided by the PRC independent professional valuers, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the considerations under the Assets Transfer Agreements are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Save and except for the consideration under the Capital Increase Agreement, the Company intends to satisfy the above consideration in cash from its internal resources and bank loans whereas YTO Diesel intends to satisfy the above consideration in cash from its internal resources.

Note: The cost approach ( 成本逼近法 ) is a valuation approach which determines the land value mainly based on the total amount of expenses incurred from the development of the land plus certain related profits, interests and land appreciation incomes.

The transaction contemplated under the Capital Increase Agreement constitutes a deemed disposal of part of the equity interest in YTO Injection Pump by the Company to YTO pursuant to Rule 14.29 of the Listing Rules. No gain or loss will be recorded in the transaction contemplated under the Capital Increase Agreement.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITIONS

Currently, the Company, YTO Diesel and YTO Injection Pump have been using the Lands and Buildings where the principal place of business and production lines of the Group are situated. While all the land use rights related to the lands under the Assets Transfer Agreements are held by YTO, the Group’s Buildings erected on such lands are owned by the Company, YTO Diesel or YTO Injection Pump. Taking into consideration that the titles of the Group’s Buildings and the underlying land use rights belong to different parties and are of potential risks, coupled with the reason that the lands leased by the Group under the Lands and Buildings amount to approximately 50% of the area of the lands used by the Group which raises concern as to the completeness of the Group’s assets, the Group proposes to acquire the Lands and Buildings through the Company and YTO Diesel and by way of capital injection in order to solve the Group’s issue that the titles of buildings and the underlying land use rights belong to different parties as well as to turn the Company’s relevant productive factors more comprehensive, thereby enhancing the independence of the Company. Besides, the Acquisitions can enable the Group to adjust the arrangement and usage over the Lands and Buildings with flexibility in accordance with its business plans and can save the annual rental fees of the Lands and Buildings paid by the Group. Further, since YTO Injection Pump will remain as a non wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company after completion of the Capital Increase Agreement, the deemed disposal of part of the equity interest in YTO Injection Pump by the Company to YTO under the Capital Increase Agreement will not affect the Company’s control over YTO Injection Pump. Acquiring the Land and Building III from YTO by way of capital injection can also save the fund which would have been required to be paid to YTO for acquisition of the Land and Building III.

In view of the above, the Directors believe that the Acquisitions will benefit the Company and the Group in terms of business development and risk management as well as costs control in the long run.

The terms of the Assets Transfer Agreements were determined after arm’s length negotiations between the respective parties thereto. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that each of the Assets Transfer Agreements was entered into in the ordinary course of business and on normal commercial terms and the respective terms thereof are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM BRIDGE PARTNERS

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion and recommendation to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Assets Transfer Agreements, we have taken the following principal factors and reasons into consideration:

I. Background and financial information of the Group

The Group is principally engaged in the production and sale of agricultural machineries, power machineries and construction machineries. Most of the Group’s revenue was generated from the agricultural machinery business and power machinery business. Set out below is a summary of the audited consolidated financial information of the Group for the two years ended 31 December 2010 as extracted from the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2010 (the “2010 Annual Report”).

LETTER FROM BRIDGE PARTNERS

As stated in the 2010 Annual Report, the Group’s revenue was generated from four business segments, namely (i) agricultural machinery business; (ii) construction machinery business; (iii) diesel engines and fuel jets business; and (iv) financial operations business. In 2010, the revenue generated from the agricultural machinery business grew approximately 17%, amounted to approximately RMB8,010 million and accounted for approximately 79% of the Group’s total revenue. Revenue from the diesel engines and fuel jets business, which accounted for 12% of the Group’s total turnover, increased by approximately 1.77% to approximately RMB1,225 million. As the Company disposed equity interests in some of its subsidiaries conducting construction machinery business during 2010, revenue from the construction machinery business, which accounted for approximately 8% of the Group’s total turnover in 2010, dropped by approximately 7.74% to approximately RMB851 million.

As advised by the Directors, the improvement in the agricultural machinery business in 2010 was mainly attributable to that the Group had improved its product quality, upgraded its product technology, perfected its sales mechanism and developed agricultural machinery that meets the current international technological standards. In 2010, the Group sold 71,823 units of hipowered and mid-powered tractors.

The cash and cash equivalents of the Group increased from approximately RMB929 million as at 31 December 2009 to approximately RMB1,162 million as at 31 December 2010. The short term borrowings of the Group increased from approximately RMB143 million for the year ended 31 December 2009 to approximately RMB405 million for the year ended 31 December 2010. According to the Company, the increase of the short term borrowings was mainly due to the increase in the trade receivables and the inventory during the year. Accordingly, the Company needed to increase the short term loans for working capital so as to relieve the capital pressure on procurement arising from the rapid growth in sales. Furthermore, the Group increased the long-term borrowings of approximately RMB600 million in order to meet the capital expenses.

II. Background of the Acquisitions

As advised by the Company, the Company and its subsidiaries have leased the Lands and Buildings for the production of agricultural machineries, and the diesel engines business. The Lands and Buildings are located on the same piece of land which is situated at No. 154, Jianshe Road, Luoyang, Henan Province, the PRC. On 18 May 2011, the Company and/or YTO Diesel (as the case may be) entered into the Assets Transfer Agreement I, the Assets Transfer Agreement II and the Capital Increase Agreement for the acquisitions of the Lands and Buildings from YTO.

— 21 —

LETTER FROM BRIDGE PARTNERS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company, YTO Diesel and YTO Injection Pump have been using the Lands and Buildings for its daily operation and collectively own 156 blocks of buildings (the “Group’s Buildings”) which are erected on the lands to be acquired. As advised by the Directors, all the land use rights related to the lands under the Assets Transfer Agreements are held by YTO, most of the Group’s Buildings erected on such lands are owned by the Company, YTO Diesel and YTO Injection Pump. As advised by the Directors, the titles of the Group’s Buildings and the underlying land use rights belong to different parties and are of potential risks.

III. Principal terms of the Assets Transfer Agreements

On 18 May 2011, the Board announced that the Company and/or YTO Diesel (as the case may be) entered into the Assets Transfer Agreement I, the Assets Transfer Agreement II and the Capital Increase Agreement for the acquisition of the Lands and Buildings from YTO.

A. Assets Transfer Agreement I and Assets Transfer Agreement II

The principal terms of the Assets Transfer Agreement I and the Assets Transfer Agreement II are substantially the same. Pursuant to the Assets Transfer Agreement I, the Company agreed to purchase from YTO the Land and Building I at a consideration of approximately RMB404.80 million (equivalent to approximately HK$481.71 million). As at the Latest Practicable Date, YTO has mortgaged the land with a gross land area of approximately 64,320.80 sq. m. under the Land and Building I to a bank to secure its loans of RMB80.0 million. According to the Company, YTO shall cause the said mortgage to be released within 20 working days upon the effective date of the Assets Transfer Agreement I. Pursuant to the Assets Transfer Agreement II, the YTO Diesel (a non wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) agreed to purchase from YTO the Land and Building II at a consideration of approximately RMB44.07 million (equivalent to approximately HK$52.44 million).

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Land and Building I and the Land and Building II are located on the same piece of the land which is situated at No.154, Jianshe Road, Luoyang, Henan Province, the PRC. The Land and Building I are the land use rights related to three land parcels with a total gross land area of approximately 515,127.30 sq. m., together with 19 blocks of buildings erected thereon with a total gross floor area of approximately 48,210.12 sq. m. The Land and Building II are the land use rights related to the land parcel with a total gross land area of approximately 59,811.40 sq. m., together with a building erected thereon with a total gross floor area of approximately 208.82 sq. m.

Upon completion of the acquisition of the Land and Building I and the Land and Building II, the relevant lease agreements entered into between the Company, YTO Diesel and YTO shall automatically lapse.

LETTER FROM BRIDGE PARTNERS

B. The considerations and the basis of determination

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the considerations for the transactions contemplated under the Assets Transfer Agreement I and Assets Transfer Agreement II were determined by the respective parties with reference to the appraised values of the Land and Building I and the Land and Building II which are subject to registration with Sinomach, the ultimate controller of the Company and the controlling shareholder of YTO, in accordance with the relevant requirements under the PRC regulations.

As discussed with the Company, the considerations under the Assets Transfer Agreement I and the Assets Transfer Agreement II were determined after arm’s length negotiations between the respective parties with reference to the total appraised values of the Land and Building I and the Land and Building II, being RMB404.80 million and RMB44.07 million respectively, as at 31 March 2011. The appraisals were conducted by using a combination of the market comparison approach and the cost approach for the valuation of land while the replacement cost approach was used for the valuation of buildings and were prepared by 北京仁達房地產評估有限公司 (Renda Real Estate Appraisal Co., Ltd.^), a PRC independent professional valuer (the “PRC valuer”). Furthermore, the Land and Building I and the Land and Building II have also been valued by Grant Sherman Appraisal Limited, an independent qualified valuer in Hong Kong (the “HK valuer”). According to the Company, the considerations under the Assets Transfer Agreement I and the Assets Transfer Agreement II shall be satisfied by cash settlement.

We have reviewed the property valuation report prepared by the PRC valuer (“PRC Valuation Report”), which is set out in Appendix II to the Circular. We understand that the PRC valuer has adopted a combination of the market comparison approach and the cost approach for valuing the land and the replacement cost approach for valuing the buildings. We also noted that the PRC valuer has made various assumptions, including but not limited to, (i) the local property market is open, fair, active and well developed; (ii) the information supplied by YTO are truthfulness and legitimacy; (iii) the buildings are not jointly owned and there were no legal disputes over the property rights; (iv) the Lands and Buildings are not on sale or in any forms and; (v) the proprietor of the Lands and Buildings is free from any outstanding taxes such as business taxes and surtax, value added tax, property tax and any tax incidental to the Lands and Buildings. We have reviewed and discussed with the PRC valuer on the methodology adopted and the assumptions used in arriving at the valuation. As confirmed by the PRC valuer, it is a commonly adopted approach in the market that a combination of market comparison approach and the cost approach were used for valuing the land while the replacement cost approach was used for valuing the buildings. During the course of our discussion with the PRC valuer, we have not identified any major factors which cause us to doubt the

— 23 —

LETTER FROM BRIDGE PARTNERS

fairness and reasonableness of the major assumptions used in arriving at the appraised value of the Lands and Buildings and we consider that it is appropriate to apply the above-mentioned approaches for the valuation of Lands and Buildings. According to the PRC valuer, the appraised value of the Land and Building I and the Lands and Building II were approximately RMB404.80 million and RMB44.07 million respectively.

We have also made reference to the valuation report of the Lands and Buildings as at 31 March 2011 prepared by the HK valuer (“HK Valuation Report”), which is set out in Appendix I to the Circular. According to the HK Valuation Report, the Land and Building I and the Land and Building II were valued at approximately RMB405.12 million and RMB44.24 million respectively. We understand from the HK valuer that due to the nature of the buildings and structures construed for specific purposes of the properties, the HK valuer considers that the depreciated replacement cost to be an appropriate valuation approach. Under this approach, the appraised value of the Lands and Buildings is based on an estimated market value for the existing use of a land, plus the current gross replacement costs of the improvements, less allowances for physical deterioration and all relevant forms of obsolesces and optimization (e.g. age, condition and environmental factors). We have reviewed and discussed with the HK valuer on the methodology adopted and the assumptions used in arriving at the valuation. As confirmed by the HK valuer, it is a commonly adopted approach in the market that depreciated replacement cost approach was used for valuing the Lands and Buildings. The HK valuer took into account all the factors, including physical deterioration, market conditions and history of the Lands and Buildings, and giving consideration to the prevailing replacement cost, depreciation and continuation of use of the Lands and Buildings in arriving at the valuation of the fair market value of the Lands and Buildings. Having considered the above, we consider that it is appropriate to apply the depreciated replacement cost approach for valuation of the Lands and Buildings.

The appraised value of the Lands and Buildings by the PRC valuer, which is the basis of determination of the consideration in relation to the Land and Building I and the Land and Building II, is lower than the appraised value of the Lands and Buildings by the HK valuer by approximately RMB0.49 million. In view of the slight difference between the appraised values of the Land and Building I and the Land and Building II computed by the PRC valuer and the HK valuer being approximately 0.12%, we consider that the difference between the two appraised values of the Land and Building I and the Land and Building II is immaterial. Based on the above, we consider that the considerations under the Assets Transfer Agreement I and Assets Transfer Agreement II are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Pursuant to the Capital Increase Agreement, YTO shall make capital contribution to YTO Injection Pump by injecting the Land and Building III with the appraised value of approximately RMB26.00 million (equivalent to approximately HK$30.94 million) as at 31 March 2011 in return for approximately 18.184% equity interest in YTO Injection Pump (as enlarged by the capital injection by YTO).

LETTER FROM BRIDGE PARTNERS

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Land and Building III being injected is related to the same piece of the land as the Land and Building I and the Land and Building II but with different geographical coordinates. The Land and Building III are the land use rights related to the land parcel with a total gross land area of approximately 33,056.20 sq. m., together with a building erected thereon with a total gross floor area of approximately 1,909.88 sq. m.

(3) The consideration and the basis of determination

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the consideration under the Capital Increase Agreement were determined by the parties with reference to the appraised value of the Land and Building III and the appraised net asset value of YTO Injection Pump, all of which were provided by PRC independent professional valuers.

We understand from the Company that the capital contribution by YTO has been determined based on arm’s length negotiations between all parties in the Capital Increase Agreement by taking into account the appraised values of the Land and Building III of RMB26.00 million. As at 31 March 2011, the audited net book value and the appraised net asset value of YTO Injection Pump were approximately RMB96.62 million and RMB116.98 million respectively. The equity interests of YTO Injection Pump being subscribed by YTO under the Capital Increase Agreement had taken with reference to the appraised value of YTO Injection Pump prepared by 北京中企華資產評估有限公司(Beijing China Enterprise Appraisals Co., Ltd.^), a PRC independent valuer, based on asset-based valuation approach, which is one of the commonly used approaches to evaluate the market value of a business enterprise. Under the asset-based approach, the value of a business enterprise was determined by assuming the value of such business enterprise is equal to the current cost of reproduction or replacement of such business enterprise less deductions for physical deterioration and all relevant forms of obsolescence and optimization in appraisal, that is, calculate the enterprise value by summing up the estimated values of essential assets of the enterprise and deducting the estimated values of liabilities. We have reviewed and discussed with the independent qualified PRC valuer the major assumptions used in the valuation, and we have not identified any major factors which cause us to doubt the fairness and reasonableness of the major assumptions used in arriving at the appraised value of YTO Injection Pump.

LETTER FROM BRIDGE PARTNERS

We have also made reference to the valuation report of the Lands and Buildings as at 31 March 2011 prepared by the HK valuer. According to the HK Valuation Report, the Land and Building III was valued at approximately RMB26.10 million as compared to the appraised value of the Land and Building III of approximately RMB26.00 million valued by the PRC valuer, which is the basis of determination of the consideration in relation to the Land and Building III. The appraised value by the PRC valuer is lower than the appraised value by the HK valuer by approximately RMB0.10 million. In view of the slight difference between the appraised values of the Land and Building III computed by the PRC valuer and the HK valuer being approximately 0.12%, we consider that the difference between the two appraised values of the Land and Building III is immaterial.

Following the completion of the capital injection, the Group’s effective equity interests in YTO Injection Pump (taking into account its direct interests and its indirect interest in YTO Injection Pump held by YTO Diesel) will be diluted from 78.24% to approximately 64.01% where the net book value of the YTO Injection Pump will increase from approximately RMB96.62 million to RMB 122.62 million. As such, the effective net book value of YTO Injection Pump attributed to the Company would be increased from approximately RMB75.20 million to approximately RMB78.48 million. Having considered that (i) the Group will continue to be the largest shareholder of YTO Injection Pump and (ii) the appraised value of the Land and Building III reflects the prevailing market value of the land and properties, we are of the view that the capital injection would not materially affect the interest of the Group in YTO Injection Pump and the Company can save the annual rental fees of the Land and Building III and thus is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM BRIDGE PARTNERS

IV. Reasons for and benefits of the Acquisitions

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Company, YTO Diesel and YTO Injection Pump have been using the Lands and Buildings where the principal place of business and production lines of the Group are situated. As advised by the Directors, all the land use rights related to the lands under the Assets Transfer Agreements are held by YTO, while the Group’s Buildings erected on such lands are owned by the Company, YTO Diesel, YTO Injection Pump. As advised by the Directors, the titles of the Group’s Buildings and the underlying land use rights belong to different parties and are of potential risks. Having considered that the acquisition of the Lands and Buildings through the Company and/or YTO Diesel (as the case may be) and by way of capital injection could (i) solve the Group’s land and properties issue regarding the titles of the Group’s Buildings and the underlying land use rights belong to different parties; (ii) save fund for the acquisition of Land and Building III from YTO by way of capital injection; (iii) enhance the operation independence of the Company and (iv) enable the Group to adjust the arrangement and usage over the Lands and Buildings with flexibility in accordance with its business plans and save the rental fees of the Lands and Buildings paid by the Group, we concur with the Directors that the Assets Transfer Agreements are in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

V. Possible financial effects of the Acquisitions on the Group

Effects on earnings

Following the completion of the Acquisitions, the Group’s effective equity interests in YTO Injection Pump will decrease by 78.24% to 64.01%. As such, YTO Injection Pump will remain to be a non wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and continue to be consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In addition, there will be no gain or loss recorded under the Capital Increase Agreement.

— 29 —

LETTER FROM BRIDGE PARTNERS

Effects on net assets

As disclosed in the 2010 Annual Report, the audited net assets of the Group as at 31 December 2010 was approximately HK$3,478.32 million. As advised by the Company, there will be no material change to the net assets of the Group upon completion of the Acquisitions.

Effects on working capital

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the total considerations for Assets Transfer Agreement I and Assets Transfer Agreement II of approximately RMB449 million (equivalent to approximately HK$534.31 million) will be paid in cash in three installments. It is the intention that the Company would satisfy the above considerations in cash from its internal resources and bank loans. According to the 2010 Annual Report, the audited cash and bank balances of the Group amounted to approximately HK$1,162.16 million as at 31 December 2010. In addition, it is expected that there would not be any effect on working capital upon the completion of Capital Increase Agreement as no cash consideration is involved. Based on the above, we are of the view that the payment of the above considerations will not have a significant impact on the Group’s working capital position.

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the above principal factors and reasons, we are of the view that (i) the terms of the Assets Transfer Agreements are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and (ii) the Acquisitions are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Shareholders, as well as the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders, to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution(s) to be proposed at the AGM to approve the Assets Transfer Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder and we recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution(s) in this regard.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of

Bridge Partners Capital Limited Monica Lin

HONG KONG VALUATION REPORT ON THE LANDS AND BUILDINGS

APPENDIX I

Room 1701 on 17/F Jubilee Centre 18 Fenwick Street Wanchai Hong Kong

26 May 2011

The Board of Directors

First Tractor Company Limited 154 Jianshe Road Luoyang Henan Province The People’s Republic of China

Dear Sirs,

In accordance with the instructions from First Tractor Company Limited (referred as the “Company”), we have valued the property interests held by YTO Group Corporation (referred as “YTO”) and entered into the Assets Transfer Agreement I, Assets Transfer Agreement II and Capital Increase Agreement with the Company or its subsidiaries (referred as the “Group”) for acquisition purpose. We confirm that we have made relevant enquiries and searches and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market values of the property interests as at 31 March 2011.

Market value is defined as the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation 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.

Due to the nature of buildings and structures construed for specific purpose of these properties, we have adopted the Depreciated Replacement Cost approach in valuing the property interests (referred as “DRC”). DRC is based on an estimate of the market value for the existing use of the land, plus the current gross replacement (reproduction) costs of the improvements, less allowances for physical deterioration and all relevant forms of obsolescence and optimization.

The valuations have been made on the assumption that the owner sells the property interest on the market without the benefit of a deferred term contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement which would serve to affect their value.

— 31 —

APPENDIX I HONG KONG VALUATION REPORT ON THE LANDS AND BUILDINGS

No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on any of the property valued nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that all the interests are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect its value.

In valuing the property interests, we have complied with all the requirements contained in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and The HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (1st Edition 2005) published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.

In valuing the properties, we have assumed that the owner has free and uninterrupted rights to use the properties for the whole of the unexpired term as granted and is entitled to transfer the properties with the residual term without payment of any further premium to the government authorities or any third parties.

We have assumed that all consents, approvals and licenses from relevant government authorities for the properties have been granted without any onerous conditions or undue time delay which might affect their values. It is assumed that all applicable zoning and use regulations and restrictions have been complied with unless nonconformity has been stated, defined, and considered in the appraisal report.

We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the interior of the properties in respect of which we have been provided with such information as we have required for the purpose of our valuation. However, no structural survey has been carried out and it was not possible to inspect the wood work and other parts of the structure which were covered, unexposed or inaccessible. We are therefore, unable to report that the properties are free of rot, infestation or any structural defect. No tests have been carried out on any of the building services.

No environmental impact study has been ordered or made. Full compliance with applicable national, provincial and local environmental regulations and laws is assumed unless otherwise stated, defined, and considered in the report. It is also assumed that all required licenses, consents, or other legislative or administrative authority from any local, provincial, or national government or private entity or organization either have been or can be obtained or renewed for any use which the report covers.

— 32 —

APPENDIX I HONG KONG VALUATION REPORT ON THE LANDS AND BUILDINGS

We have been provided with copies of extracts of title documents relating to the properties. However, we have not inspected the original documents to verify ownership or to verify any amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us. Due to the nature of the land registration system in the PRC, we are unable to search the original documents to verify the existing title of the properties or any material encumbrances that might be attached to the properties. In the preparation of our valuation report, we have relied to a considerable extent on the legal opinion provided by the Company’s PRC legal adviser, Commerce & Finance Law Offices on the PRC laws regarding the titles of the properties in the PRC.

In the course of our valuation, we have relied on a considerable extent on the information provided by the Company on such matters as property title, statutory notices, easements, tenure, occupation, site and floor areas, identification of the properties and all other relevant matters. We have no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Company. We were also advised by the Company that no material facts have been omitted from the information supplied.

Unless otherwise stated, all monetary figures stated in this report are in Renminbi (RMB).

We enclose herewith a summary of valuation and valuation certificates.

Respectfully submitted, For and on behalf of

According to the information provided by the entrusting party and on-site surveys, the development of the land parcels to be valued is practically up to the stage of “7 availabilities” at the outside bounding lines (紅綫外「七通」), with road, electricity supply, telecommunication, water supply, drainage system, heating system and industrial gases available and “7 availabilities and 1 leveling” at the inside bounding lines (紅綫內「七通一平」), with road, electricity supply, telecommunication, water supply, drainage system, heating system and industrial gases available. The purpose of the land parcels is for industrial use.

VI. VALUATION APPROACH

Two valuation approaches including the market comparison approach (市場比較法) and the cost approach (成本法) were adopted in this valuation, whereby the values of the Land Use Rights were arrived at using the market comparison approach (市場比較法) and cost approach (成本逼近法) whereas the values of the Buildings were arrived at using the replacement cost approach (重置成本法).

In the process of appraising the values of the Land Use Rights, since the outcomes generated from the two valuation approaches differed insignificantly, simple arithmetic average was adopted to finalize the valuation result of the valuation target.

The new replacement values of the Buildings were arrived at primarily through the replacement cost approach (重置成本法).
