LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Subject matter

Pursuant to the Master Procurement Agreement, KCT Group shall sell the Wearable Smart Helmets to the Group, provided that the Group may purchase the Wearable Smart Helmets from other third parties.

The Group may, as purchaser, from time to time during the term of the Master Procurement Agreement, enter into individual procurement agreement(s) (which may be in the form of purchase order(s) and/or purchase agreement(s)) with the KCT Group, as supplier, in respect of each batch of purchase, setting out the actual transaction arrangement(s), provided that such individual procurement agreement(s) shall always be subject to the terms of the Master Procurement Agreement.

Pricing

Pursuant to the Master Procurement Agreement, KCT Group shall sell the Wearable Smart Helmets upon request by the Group, on terms and conditions (including the selling price of the Wearable Smart Helmets) to be agreed by the Group and KCT Group on arm’s length basis and normal commercial terms. The price of the Wearable Smart Helmets shall be determined on the following principles:

(i) by reference to the prevailing market price of the same or substantially similar products available from independent third parties to the Group of the same period (i.e. at the time when the Group intends to purchase the Wearable Smart Helmets from KCT Group), taking into account the price of the same or substantially similar products with comparable order quantities and quality offered by independent third parties;
(ii) where no same or similar products are available from independent third parties, by reference to the factors which may affect the selling price of the Wearable Smart Helmets, such as the selling price of the Wearable Smart Helmets offered by KCT Group to other third parties; and
(iii) in any event no less favourable to the Group than those offered by independent third parties to the Group in comparable transactions of the same period (i.e. at the time when the Group intends to purchase the Wearable Smart Helmets from KCT Group).

As regards (i) above, the Group will obtain price quotes from at least two independent third parties to determine the prevailing market price of the same or substantially similar products.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As regards (ii) above, the Group will make reference to the selling price of the Wearable Smart Helmets offered by KCT Group to at least two other third parties at the time when the Group intends to purchase the Wearable Smart Helmets from KCT Group. The Group will also consider whether KCT Group can provide the Wearable Smart Helmets stably and quickly when determining the selling price of the Wearable Smart Helmets.

Where no reference price can be obtained under (i) and (ii) above, the price of the Wearable Smart Helmets shall be determined on a cost-plus basis that allows the Group to sell the Wearable Smart Helmets in the market to obtain a gross profit margin of not less than 15% (the “ Margin ”). The Group will only purchase the Wearable Smart Helmets from KCT Group when it is able to secure purchase orders for the Empowered Helmets from its customers, if the Group’s customers accept the selling price of the Empowered Helmets (which is the aggregate of selling price of the Wearable Smart Helmets and the Margin) and place orders with the Group, it can be regarded that the price charged by KCT Group for the Wearable Smart Helmets is fair and reasonable. In addition, the Group’s overall gross profit margins excluding sale of products acquired from KCT Group (“ General GP Margin ”) for the years ended 31 December 2018 and 2019 ranged from 11.9% to 16.2% (the “ Range ”). In view of the Empowered Helmets being an innovative and unique product newly introduced to the market, the Group considers that the price of the Wearable Smart Helmet shall be in line with the Group’s past General GP Margin. The Range serves as an indicator to illustrate the Group’s recent overall gross profitability and a benchmark to assess the Group’s performance for carrying out its business operations. As the Margin represents the lowest gross profit margin that the Group could achieve from selling the Wearable Smart Helmets in the market, the Group is expected to achieve similar, or even better, gross profit margin for purchasing the Wearable Smart Helmets from KCT Group as compared with the Range. The Margin in turn ensures the Group to attain at least its recent profitability for its continuous operations.

Furthermore, the special components and features of the Empowered Helmets comprised of (i) a light camera with 13 million pixels, maximum aperture of 2.0, 1080 pixels of resolution and 30 frame per second to supplement the artificial intelligent coverage system; and (ii) an infrared thermal temperature detector with view angle of 33.4° and 384288 pixels of resolution to assess the body temperature of people as well as the infrared thermal imaging ranging from -20 to 120 degree Celsius, and the measurement deviation of body temperature is less than 0.3 degree Celsius. Although the Wearable Smart Helmets were only supplied to the Group, there was a similar product of the Wearable Smart Helmets, being an elder model of the Wearable Smart Helmets without the infrared thermal temperature detector for thermal temperature measurement (the “ Previous Model* ”), sold by KCT Group to independent third party customers. The projected purchase price of the Wearable Smart Helmets of approximately RMB18,500 per unit in the Year 2020, the Year 2021 and the Year 2022 from KCT Group was lower than the selling price of the Previous

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Model from KCT Group to independent third party customers. In other words, the selling price of the Previous Model, which has less function than the Wearable Smart Helmets, is even higher than the selling price of Wearable Smart Helmets from KCT Group. In view of (i) the Margin is within the Range; (ii) the Margin is close to the higher end of the Range; (iii) the Margin only represents the lowest gross profit margin the Group can accept with reference to historical gross profit margin of the Group to guarantee the lowest gross profit of the Group while allow flexibility for the Group to accept businesses with higher gross profit margin; and (iv) the lower selling price of the Wearable Smart Helmets than the Previous Model from KCT Group, the Board considers that the Margin and the price of the Wearable Smart Helmets are fair and reasonable.

Payment terms

The payment terms (including the mode of payment and credit terms) shall be negotiated between the parties before signing the individual procurement agreement(s), provided that the payment terms shall be no less favourable to the Group than the terms offered by the independent third parties to the Group for providing the same or similar goods to the Group of the same period (i.e. at the time when the Group intends to purchase the Wearable Smart Helmets from KCT Group).

Based on the Group’s past transactions with KCT Group, the consideration was paid by the Group to KCT Group upon satisfaction of quality check of the goods delivered and within thirty (30) business days after the submission of payment request by KCT Group to the Group in agreed form. The Group does not have past transaction with other independent third parties for the procurement of Wearable Smart Helmets.

Internal Controls

The Group will undertake the following internal control measures to monitor the pricing and terms of the transactions contemplated under the Master Procurement Agreement and ensure that the prices and terms offered by KCT Group to the Group will be no less favourable than prices and terms offered to the Group by independent third parties and that the Revised Annual Caps are not exceeded:

(1) the procurement officer of the Group will consider the availability of alternative products to the Wearable Smart Helmets in the market;
(2) the procurement officer of the Group will compare the prices and terms of the supply of the Wearable Smart Helmets by KCT Group to the Group with the prices and terms of alternative or similar products (if any) offered by independent third parties to the Group on a quarterly basis;

– 11 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(3) the procurement officer of the Group will adhere to the relevant internal control policy of the Group on connected transactions in monitoring the prices and terms of supply of the Wearable Smart Helmets offered by KCT Group to the Group to ensure that they shall be no less favourable to the Group than those offered by independent third parties to the Group;
(4) the audit committee of the Board will review the internal control measures performed by the procurement officer of the Group mentioned in (1) to (3) above on an annual basis;
(5) the independent non-executive Directors will review and confirm that the pricing and terms of the transactions contemplated under the Master Procurement Agreement are in the Group’s ordinary and usual course of business and are fair and reasonable to the Group and in the interests of the Shareholders and the Group as a whole, on terms no less favourable to the Group than prices and terms offered by independent third parties to the Group on an annual basis; and
(6) the auditors of the Company will review the pricing and terms of the transactions contemplated under the Master Procurement Agreement and the Revised Annual Caps of such continuing connected transactions in compliance with the annual reporting and review requirements under the Listing Rules on an annual basis.

Historical figures

KCT Group did not have sale transaction with the Group for the two years ended 31 December 2017 and 2018.

For the year ended 31 December 2019, KCT Group’s sale of the Wearable Smart Helmets to the Group amounted to approximately RMB925,000, including VAT.

For the period from 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2020, KCT Group’s sale of the Wearable Smart Helmets to the Group amounted to approximately RMB49.99 million, including VAT.

Proposed revision of annual caps of the Master Procurement Agreement and the basis of determination

In view of (i) the Empowered Helmets being an innovative and unique product introduced to the market for the first time in February 2020; (ii) that the Existing Annual Caps were determined by reference to the sales agreements of the Empowered Helmets entered into by the Group in February and March 2020 which were the exhaustive list of samples; and (iii) the unexpected increase in demand for the Empowered Helmets after the Existing Annual Caps were approved by the Independent Shareholders in May 2020, in particular, a few customers have entered

– 12 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

into non-legally binding letter of intents with the Group indicating interest in purchase of more than 2,000 Empowered Helmets from the Group during the Year 2020, the Company proposes to revise the Existing Annual Caps as follows:

		Existing Annual Caps	Revised Annual Caps
		(including VAT)	(including VAT)
Year	2020	RMB50.0 million (equivalent to	RMB100.1 million (equivalent to
		approximately HK$54.6 million)	approximately HK$109.3 million)
Year	2021	RMB54.0 million (equivalent to	RMB110.1 million (equivalent to
		approximately HK$59.0 million)	approximately HK$120.2 million)
Year	2022	RMB58.0 million (equivalent to	RMB121.1 million (equivalent to
		approximately HK$63.3 million)	approximately HK$132.3 million)

The Revised Annual Caps are estimated primarily with reference to:

(1) the historical sales amount of the Wearable Smart Helmets sold by KCT Group to the Group during the year ended 31 December 2019 and the period from 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2020;
(2) the increase in the demand for the Empowered Helmets as shown in the letter of intents recently entered into by the Group and its customers;
(3) the new projected procurement volume of 5,406 units, 5,950 units and 6,545 units of the Wearable Smart Helmets by the Group in the Year 2020, the Year 2021 and the Year 2022 respectively; and
(4) the projected purchase price of the Wearable Smart Helmets will remain stable at RMB18,500 per unit in the Year 2020, the Year 2021 and the Year 2022;

and on the principal assumptions that, for the duration of the projected period, there will not be any adverse change or disruption in market conditions, operation and business environment or government policies which may materially affect the businesses of the Group.

In view of the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that (i) the Master Procurement Agreement is on normal commercial terms and is fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned; (ii) the transactions contemplated under the Master Procurement Agreement are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group; and (iii) the Revised Annual Caps are fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(III) INFORMATION ON THE GROUP AND THE CONNECTED PERSON

The Group is principally engaged in the research and development as well as manufacture of innovative products for future technology businesses, and the provision of other innovative technology service solutions.

Kuang-Chi Technologies is a company listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange principally engaged in developing innovative advanced technology and its core business is in metamaterial intelligent structure and equipment research, as well as the manufacture of seat function components for automobiles. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the ultimate beneficial owners of Kuang-Chi Technology who are not public shareholders are Dr. Liu, Dr. Zhang, Dr. Luan, Dr. Ji and Dr. Zhao Zhiya. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Kuang-Chi Technology is owned as to (i) 3.32% by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; and (ii) 42.75% by a company which is ultimately owned as to 35.09% by Dr. Liu, 17.54% by Dr. Zhang, 15.79% by Dr. Luan, 15.79% by Dr. Ji and 15.79% by Dr. Zhao Zhiya.

(IV) IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

As at the Latest Practicable Date, (i) Dr. Liu is an executive Director and a controlling Shareholder, and Dr. Zhang, Dr. Luan and Dr. Ji are executive Directors, thus Dr. Liu, Dr. Zhang, Dr. Luan and Dr. Ji are connected persons of the Company pursuant to Rule 14A.07 of the Listing Rules; and (ii) Dr. Liu, Dr. Zhang, Dr. Luan and Dr. Ji collectively control the exercise of more than 30% of the voting power of the general meetings of Kuang-Chi Technologies and thus Kuang-Chi Technologies is an associate of Dr. Liu, Dr. Zhang and Dr. Luan, and therefore a connected person of the Company pursuant to Rule 14A.12 of the Listing Rules. As such, the transactions contemplated under the Procurement Agreement constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company for the purpose of Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to Rule 14A.54 of the Listing Rules, the Company should re-comply with the applicable requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules before the proposed annual cap is exceeded. As more than one of the applicable percentage ratios relating to the Revised Annual Caps for the continuing connected transactions contemplated under the Master Procurement Agreement is more than 5%, the Revised Annual Caps are subject to the reporting, announcement, annual review and independent shareholders’ approval requirement under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

As Dr. Liu, Dr. Luan, Dr. Zhang and Dr. Ji have material interests in the transactions contemplated under the Master Procurement Agreement, Dr. Liu, Dr. Luan, Dr. Zhang and Dr. Ji have abstained from voting on the relevant resolution of the Board approving the Revised Annual Caps. Save as disclosed above, no other Director has a material interest in the Revised Annual Caps and is required to abstain from voting for the aforesaid resolution.

To the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

REVISION OF ANNUAL CAPS FOR CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Revised Annual Caps, details of which are set out in the Letter from the Board (the “ Letter from the Board ”) contained in the circular of the Company dated 24 August 2020 (the “ Circular ”), of which this letter forms part. Terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Circular unless the context requires otherwise.

On 30 March 2020, the Company (for itself and on behalf of its subsidiaries), as purchaser, and Kuang-Chi Technologies (for itself and on behalf of its subsidiaries), as vendor, entered into the Master Procurement Agreement in respect of the procurement of the Wearable Smart Helmets by the Group.

The Company expects that, in view of (i) the Empowered Helmets being an innovative and unique product introduced to the market for the first time in February 2020; (ii) that the Existing Annual Caps were determined by reference to the sales agreements of the Empowered Helmets entered into by the Group in February and March 2020 which were the exhaustive list of samples; and (iii) the unexpected increase in demand for the Empowered Helmets after the Existing Annual Caps were approved by the Independent Shareholders in May 2020, in particular, a few customers have recently entered into non-legally binding letter of intents with the Group indicating interest in purchase of more than 2,000 Empowered Helmets from the Group during the Year 2020, the Existing Annual Caps will not be sufficient for the Group’s new projected procurement volume of the Wearable Smart Helmets for the Year 2020, the Year 2021 and the Year 2022. The Company therefore proposes to revise the Existing Annual Caps to the Revised Annual Caps.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As at the Latest Practicable Date, (i) Dr. Liu is an executive Director and a controlling Shareholder, and Dr. Zhang, Dr. Luan and Dr. Ji are executive Directors, and thus Dr. Liu, Dr. Zhang, Dr. Luan and Dr. Ji are connected persons of the Company pursuant to Rule 14A.07 of the Listing Rules; and (ii) Dr. Liu, Dr. Zhang, Dr. Luan and Dr. Ji collectively control the exercise of more than 30% of the voting power of the general meetings of Kuang-Chi Technologies and thus Kuang-Chi Technologies is an associate of Dr. Liu, Dr. Zhang, Dr. Luan and Dr. Ji, and therefore a connected person of the Company pursuant to Rule 14A.12 of the Listing Rules. As such, the transactions contemplated under the Master Procurement Agreement constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company for the purpose of Chapter 14A of the Listing Rule.

The Independent Board Committee, comprising all the independent non-executive Directors, namely Dr. Deng Ke, Dr. Wong Kai Kit and Mr. Choi Wing Koon, has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders as to the Revised Annual Caps and whether the Independent Shareholders should vote in favour of the relevant resolution to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Revised Annual Caps. As the Independent Financial Adviser, our role is to give an independent opinion to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in such regard.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Lego Corporate Finance Limited did not have any relationships or interests with the Company or any other parties that could reasonably be regarded as relevant to the independence of Lego Corporate Finance Limited.

Apart from normal professional fees paid or payable to us in connection with the Previous Engagement and this appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser, no arrangement exist whereby we had received or will receive any fees or benefits from the Company or any other party to the transactions. Accordingly, we are qualified to give independent advice in respect of the Revised Annual Caps.

As at 31 December 2019, total liabilities of the Group amounted to approximately HK$793.9 million, representing a slight increase of approximately 10.7% from approximately HK$716.9 million as at 31 December 2018, which was mainly due to (i) the increase in bank and other borrowings of approximately HK$38.0 million; and (ii) the increase in trade and other payables of HK$41.0 million.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Reasons for and benefits of the continuing connected transaction under the Master Procurement Agreement

As disclosed in the circular of the Company dated 7 May 2020, the procurement of the Wearable Smart Helmets from KCT Group is crucial as the Wearable Smart Helmets are part of the core technology of the artificial intelligent coverage system currently developed by the Group. The Wearable Smart Helmets, the new generation of intelligent helmets developed and manufactured by KCT Group can be used as the excellent terminal equipment empowered by the artificial intelligent coverage system for many customers. The Wearable Smart Helmets, being the first equipment to implement mobile deployment-based control scenarios, can generate an excellent artificial intelligence coverage network after being empowered by the artificial intelligent coverage system. It integrates multiple advanced technologies such as infrared thermal imaging, AR (augmented reality) display, communication sensing, advanced aerospace technology developed materials and multiple AI (artificial intelligence) technologies. With these advanced technologies, it had attracted many customers such as communities, sizable enterprises and public event organisers to purchase. Its unaware and contactless temperature measurement features have also been a critical reason for being purchased by customers such as bus station, park and hospital for epidemic prevention. Such empowered helmets were initially launched by the Group in the market last year for testing market response, which was positive. The Group has decided to fully promote the empowered helmets to the market from February 2020. The Board considers that the procurement of the Wearable Smart Helmets from KCT Group will facilitate the Group’s development in the business.

Taking into consideration that (i) the procurement of the Wearable Smart Helmets by the Group from KCT Group are related to the projects to be undertaken by the Group which are the Group’s principal business and the Group has been purchasing from KCT Group historically; (ii) KCT Group has proven to be a reliable supplier to the Group at competitive prices, which is important to the operations and business of the Group; (iii) the Group may purchase the Wearable Smart Helmets from other third parties pursuant to the Master Procurement Agreement; (iv) the payment terms and selling price should be no less favorable to the Group than those offered by independent third parties to the Group in comparable transactions of the same period (i.e. at the time when the Group intends to purchase the Wearable Smart Helmets from KCT Group); and (v) the mutual beneficial relationship between KCT Group and the Group, we are of the opinion that the entering into of the Master Procurement Agreement is within the ambit of the businesses currently run by the Group and (a) is therefore conducted in the ordinary and usual course of the Group’s businesses; (b) is on normal commercial terms; (c) is fair and reasonable; and (d) is in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

Principal terms of the Master Procurement Agreement

On 30 March 2020, the Company (for itself and on behalf of its subsidiaries), as purchaser, entered into the Master Procurement Agreement with Kuang-Chi Technologies (for itself and on behalf of its subsidiaries), as vendor, in respect of the procurement of the Wearable Smart Helmets by the Group.

– 25 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The principal terms of the Master Procurement Agreement are summarised below:

Date:

30 March 2020

Parties:

(i) the Company (for itself and on behalf of its subsidiaries) (as purchaser); and
(ii) Kuang-Chi Technologies (for itself and on behalf of its subsidiaries) (as vendor)

Duration:

Subject matter

Pursuant to the Master Procurement Agreement, KCT Group shall sell the Wearable Smart Helmets to the Group, provided that the Group may purchase the Wearable Smart Helmets from other third parties.

– 26 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Payment terms:

Pricing

(i) by reference to the prevailing market price of the same or substantially similar products available from independent third parties to the Group of the same period (i.e. at the time when the Group intends to purchase the Wearable Smart Helmets from KCT Group), taking into account the price of the same or substantially similar products with comparable order quantities and quality offered by independent third parties;
(ii) where no same or similar products are available from independent third parties, by reference to the factors which may affect the selling price of the Wearable Smart Helmets, such as the selling price of the Wearable Smart Helmets offered by KCT Group to other third parties; and
(iii) in any event no less favourable to the Group than those offered by independent third parties to the Group in comparable transactions of the same period (i.e. at the time when the Group intends to purchase the Wearable Smart Helmets from KCT Group).

As regards (i) above, the Group will obtain price quotes from at least two independent third parties to determine the prevailing market price of the same or substantially similar products.

– 27 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Where no reference price can be obtained under (i) and (ii) above, the price of the Wearable Smart Helmets shall be determined on a cost-plus basis that allows the Group to sell the Wearable Smart Helmets in the market to obtain a gross profit margin of not less than 15% (the “ Margin ”). We noted that the Group’s overall gross profit margins (excluding sale of products acquired from KCT Group) (the “ General GP Margin ”) for the years ended 31 December 2018 and 2019 ranged from approximately 11.9% to 16.2% (the “ Range ”). In view of the Empowered Helmets being an innovative and unique product newly introduced to the market, the Group’s General GP Margin could be a reference to the price of the Wearable Smart Helmet. The Range serves as an indicator to illustrate the Group’s recent overall gross profitability and a benchmark to assess the Group’s performance for carrying out its business operations. As the Margin represents the lowest gross profit margin that the Group could achieve from selling the Wearable Smart Helmets in the market, the Group is expected to achieve similar, or even better, gross profit margin for purchasing the Wearable Smart Helmets from KCT Group as compared with the Range. Also, while the Group could be guaranteed to achieve the Margin, it is probable that the Group is able to generate higher profitability (i.e. higher than 15%) and hence have a higher gross profit margin than the Range from the Wearable Smart Helmets. The Margin in turn ensures the Group to attain at least its recent profitability for its continuous operations.

Furthermore, we have discussed with the Management regarding the specifications of the Empowered Helmets and understood that the special components and features of the Empowered Helmets comprised of (i) a light camera with 13 million pixels, maximum aperture of 2.0, 1080 pixels of resolution and 30 frame per second to supplement the artificial intelligent coverage system; and (ii) an infrared thermal temperature detector with view angle of 33.4° and 384288 pixels of resolution to assess the body temperature of people as well as the infrared thermal imaging ranging from -20 to 120 degree Celsius, and the measurement deviation of temperature is less than 0.3 degree Celsius. Also, we have further enquired the Management as to whether KCT Group sold the Wearable Smart Helmets or similar products to third parties other than the Group. We were advised that although the Wearable Smart Helmets were only supplied to the Group, there was a similar product of the Wearable Smart Helmets, being an elder model of the Wearable Smart Helmets without the infrared thermal temperature detector for thermal temperature measurement (the “ Previous Model* ”), sold by KCT Group to independent third party customers. We have obtained and reviewed the two agreements and invoices between KCT Group and independent third party customers, which are the exhaustive list of samples and sales of the Previous models by KCT Group, according to the Management. We noted that the projected purchase price of the Wearable Smart Helmets of approximately RMB18,500 per unit in the Year 2020, the Year 2021 and the Year 2022 from KCT Group was lower than the selling price of the Previous Model from KCT Group to independent third party customers. In other words, the selling price of the Previous

– 28 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Model, which has less function than the Wearable Smart Helmets, is even higher than the selling price of Wearable Smart Helmets from KCT Group. In view of (i) the Margin is within the Range; (ii) the Margin is close to the higher end of the Range; (iii) the Margin only represents the lowest gross profit margin the Group can accept with reference to historical gross profit margin of the Group to guarantee the lowest gross profit of the Group while allow flexibility for the Group to accept businesses with higher gross profit margin; and (iv) the lower selling price of the Wearable Smart Helmets than the Previous Model from KCT Group, we concur with the Management’s view that the Margin is fair and reasonable.

In addition, as disclosed in the Letter from the Board, as the Group will only purchase the Wearable Smart Helmets from KCT Group when it is able to secure purchase orders for the Empowered Helmets from its customers, if the Group’s customers accept the selling price of the Empowered Helmets (which is the aggregate of selling price of the Wearable Smart Helmets and the Margin) and place orders with the Group, it can be regarded that the price charged by KCT Group for the Wearable Smart Helmets is fair and reasonable. In this regard, we have discussed with the Management and understood that since the Group was able to achieve the Margin on top of the price of the Wearable Smart Helmets from the sales of the Empowered Helmets since its introduction in February 2020, the price charged by KCT Group is considered as fair and reasonable. We have also reviewed three sampling sales agreements of the Group in relation to the Empowered Helmets entered into between the Group and its customers in each of the months from February 2020 to June 2020, and noted that the margin of these sales agreements (on top of the price of the Wearable Smart Helmets from KCT Group) was not less than 15%. Based on the above and the fact that the Group was able to achieve the Margin from the purchase of the Wearable Smart Helmets from KCT Group, we concur with the Management’s view that the price charged by KCT Group in relation to the Wearable Smart Helmets is fair and reasonable.

As noted from the above, the price of the Wearable Smart Helmets offered by KCT Group to the Group would make reference to, among others, the prevailing market rate of the same or substantially similar products available from independent third parties to the Group of the same period (i.e. at the time when the Group intends to purchase the Wearable Smart Helmets from KCT Group), taking into account the price of the same or substantially similar products with comparable order quantities and quality offered by independent third parties, or if there are no same or similar products are available from independent third parties, by reference to the factors which may affect the selling price of the Wearable Smart Helmets, such as the selling price of the Wearable Smart Helmets offered by KCT Group to other third parties.

As discussed with the Management, we were given to understand that the Wearable Smart Helmet is an innovative and unique product introduced to the market for the first time, and thus currently there are no identical or substantially similar products available in the market. We have conducted research on the internet based on the specification of the Wearable Smart Helmet which substantiated the above. As further advised by the Management, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has not purchased any identical or substantially similar products of Wearable Smart Helmet from independent suppliers given the unique features of the Wearable Smart Helmet. Therefore, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the price of the Wearable Smart Helmets was determined on a cost-plus basis.

– 29 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

We have also sample checked two agreements and invoices between KCT Group and independent third party customers for comparable transactions during 2018 to 2020, which are exhaustive list of samples given that they were the only sales of similar product of the Wearable Smart Helmets (being an elder model of the Wearable Smart Helmets with less functions) from KCT Group to its independent third party customers as advised by the Management, we therefore consider they are fair and representative. Based on the samples, we noted that (i) the payment term offered by KCT Group to the Group is within the range of those offered to independent third party customers as stated in such agreements in which the payment terms of the Wearable Smart Helmets from KCT Group to its independent third party customers ranged from ten (10) business days to forty (40) business days after the submission of payment request by KCT Group to the Group in agreed form; and (ii) the gross profit margin of the Wearable Smart Helmets offered by KCT Group to the Group is lower than that offered by KCT Group to independent third party customers. The Management further confirmed that, as at the Latest Practicable Date, KCT Group has not sold any Wearable Smart Helmets to independent third party customers. Given the above, we concur with the Management that the pricing basis under the Master Procurement Agreement is fair and reasonable.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

We have discussed with the Management as to the reasons for revising the Existing Annual Caps to the Revised Annual Caps and were advised that in view of (i) the Empowered Helmets being an innovative and unique product introduced to the market for the first time in February 2020; (ii) that the Existing Annual Caps were determined by reference to the sales agreements of the Empowered Helmets entered into by the Group in February and March 2020 which were the exhaustive list of samples; and (iii) the unexpected increase in demand for the Empowered Helmets after the Existing Annual Caps were approved by the Independent Shareholders in May 2020, in particular, a few customers have entered into non-legally binding letter of intents with the Group indicating interest in purchase of more than 2,000 Empowered Helmets from the Group during the Year 2020, the Existing Annual Caps will not be sufficient for the Group’s new projected procurement volume of the Wearable Smart Helmets for the Year 2020, the Year 2021 and the Year 2022.

We were further advised by the Management that since the introduction of the Empowered Helmet to the market in February 2020, there has been a growing demand for this innovative and unique product. As such, the purchase of Wearable Smart Helmets by the Group from KCT Group amounted to approximately RMB49.99 million for the period from 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2020, which was already equivalent to the Existing Annual Cap for the Year 2020.

As further set out in the Letter from the Board, the Revised Annual Caps are estimated primarily with reference to:

(1) the historical sales amount of the Wearable Smart Helmets sold by KCT Group to the Group during the year ended 31 December 2019 and the period from 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2020;
(2) the increase in the demand for the Empowered Helmets as shown in the letter of intents recently entered into by the Group and its customers;
(3) the new projected procurement volume of 5,406 units, 5,950 units and 6,545 units of the Wearable Smart Helmets by the Group in the Year 2020, the Year 2021 and the Year 2022 respectively; and
(4) the projected purchase price of the Wearable Smart Helmets will remain stable at RMB18,500 per unit in the Year 2020, the Year 2021 and the Year 2022;

– 31 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Revised Annual Caps, we have discussed with the Management about the bases and were advised that the Revised Annual Cap for the Year 2020 was determined, among others, with reference to the historical sales amount of the Wearable Smart Helmets sold by KCT Group to the Group for the period from 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2020, which represented approximately 50.0% of the Revised Annual Cap for Year 2020. In addition, the Empowered Helmet was a new product that was first brought to market in February 2020, which it was in the market development stage in the first half of 2020 that the demand might be stimulated and was expected to grow stable at a more mature stage of market development in Year 2021 and Year 2022. Therefore, in view of the expected growth in the second half of the Year 2020, the Year 2021 and the Year 2022 as a result of continuous marketing and promotional efforts, the Revised Annual Caps for Year 2021 and Year 2022 are expected to increase at an annual growth rate of approximately 10% as compared to the respective previous years.

We have also reviewed the non-legally binding letters entered into between the Group and the customers, and noted that the aggregated purchase quantities of the Empowered Helmets by the customers indicated in the non-legally binding letters are more than 2,000 units. As such, based on the quantities as stated in the non-legally binding letters for the sales of the Empowered Helmets entered into by the Group and the customers, the Group will require the purchase of the Wearable Smart Helmets from KCT Group amounting to at least RMB$37.0 million for Year 2020. Taking into account (i) that one of the functions of the Empowered Helmets, as advised by the Management, is to detect the body temperature of people walking in front of the person who wears the Empowered Helmet, and hence it is expected that the Empowered Helmets would have high demand for securities purpose in view of the current pandemic; (ii) that the Empowered Helmet was a new and innovative product that was first brought to market in the first quarter of 2020, which it was in the market development stage that the demand might be stimulated and was expected to grow with the continuous marketing and promotional efforts; (iii) the uniqueness of the Empowered Helmet and the expected stable growth in a more mature stage of development for the Year 2021 and the Year 2022; (iv) the projection of the Revised Annual Caps by the Management with reference to (a) the purchase amount of the Wearable Smart Helmets by the Group from KCT Group for the six months ended 30 June 2020, representing approximately 50.0% of the Revised Annual Cap for the Year 2020; (b) the non-legally binding letters for the sales of the Empowered Helmets entered into the Group and the customers indicating the customers’ interest in purchase of more than 2,000 Empowered Helmets from the Group during the Year 2020; (c) an annual growth rate of approximately 10% for the Revised Annual Caps for Year 2021 and Year 2022, we concur with the view of the Directors (including the independent non–executive Directors) that the Revised Annual Caps are fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

– 32 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

However, as the Revised Annual Caps related to future events and are based upon assumptions that may or may not remain valid for the Year 2020, the Year 2021 and the Year 2022, we express no opinion as to how closely the actual service income pursuant to the Master Procurement Agreement shall correspond to the Revised Annual Caps.

Internal controls

As stated in the Letter from the Board, internal control measures will be in place to ensure the transactions under the Master Procurement Agreement to be conducted on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable. We have obtained the relevant internal control policy of the Company which stipulate the procedures to be complied with in conducting connected transactions and reviewed the pricing standard under the Master Procurement Agreement. We noted that the procurement officer of the Group will consider the availability of alternative products to the Wearable Smart Helmets in the market, will compare and monitor the prices and terms of the supply of the Wearable Smart Helmets by KCT Group to the Group with the prices and terms of alternative or similar products (if any) offered by independent suppliers to the Group on a quarterly basis, to ensure that they shall be no less favourable to the Group than those offered by independent third parties to the Group. We also noted that the audit committee of the Board will review the aforementioned internal control measures performed by the procurement officer of the Group on an annual basis. Also, in addition to the comparison of the prices and terms of the supply of the Wearable Smart Helmets by KCT Group, we noted from the internal control policy of the Company that the demand for the Wearable Smart Helmets shall be stimulated and secured by the customer, being the purchaser of the Empowered Helmets, and the entering into the purchase orders with KCT Group for the Wearable Smart Helmets shall be approved be multiple departments of the Group, including the finance, legal and procurement departments. These departments will ascertain that the aforementioned pricing basis (i.e. the Margin if no reference price could be obtained for alternative products in the market) for the purchase of the Wearable Smart Helmets from KCT Group will be followed. We consider that the above internal control policy is expected to ascertain the fairness and reasonableness of the transactions under the Master Procurement Agreement.

As advised by the Management, the procurement officer of the Group has conducted research on the availability of alternative products to the Wearable Smart Helmets in the market (including the availability of similar products for the key components of the Wearable Smart Helmets including a light camera to enable the artificial intelligent coverage system and an infrared thermal temperature detector) and no substantially similar product was identified. We have further discussed with the Management as to the research procedures performed by the procurement officer in order to identify the alternative products to the Wearable Smart Helmets, and noted that the procurement officer has conducted searches on different online platforms, including but not limited to Baidu, Alibaba and Taobao. As confirmed by the Management, these online platforms are the common search engines used in the industry of the Group to identify and search for the availability of products. Also, since no similar products of the Wearable Smart Helmets was available in the market, the procurement officer has further searched for the comparable products of the light camera and infrared thermal temperature detector, which are the major components equipped with the Wearable Smart Helmets. Based on the

– 33 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

research performed by the procurement officer, there was no comparable products with similar specifications of the light camera and infrared thermal temperature detector. In particular, we have further searched on the Internet based on the specification of light camera and infrared thermal temperature detector, and noted that (i) there was no similar light camera in the market because, as advised by the Management, the specifications of the light camera was tailored-made; and (ii) most of the infrared thermal temperature detector in the market would have measurement deviation of temperature of less than 3.0 degree Celsius, whereas that of the Wearable Smart Helmets is less than 0.3 degree Celsius and hence it is more advanced and not directly comparable to the products in the market. Therefore, on such basis and given that the aforementioned research procedures were not inconsistent with the relevant internal control policy adopted by the Company, we consider that the procedures adopted by the Group to identify availability of alternative products to the Wearable Smart Helmets are appropriate.

Moreover, the auditors of the Company and the independent non-executive Directors will review and confirm of the pricing and terms of the transactions contemplated under the Master Procurement Agreement and the Revised Annual Caps of such continuing connected transactions in compliance with the annual reporting and review requirements under the Listing Rules on an annual basis, and whether they are in the Group’s ordinary and usual course of business and are fair and reasonable to the Group and in the interests of the Shareholders and the Group as a whole, on terms no less favourable to the Group than prices and terms offered by independent third parties to the Group on an annual basis. In view of the aforementioned internal control policies adopted by the Group which are not uncommon to the listed companies on the Stock Exchange in order to govern the continuing connected transactions, we concur with the view of the Directors that there are adequate measures in place to monitor the transactions under the Master Procurement Agreement and hence the interest of the Independent Shareholders would be safeguarded.

Listing Rules implication

The Directors confirmed that the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rules 14A.53 to Rule 14A.59 of the Listing Rules pursuant to which (i) the values of the transactions under the Master Procurement Agreement must be restricted by the Revised Annual Caps for the period concerned under the Master Procurement Agreement; (ii) the terms of the transactions under the Master Procurement Agreement must be reviewed by the independent non-executive Directors annually; (iii) details of independent non-executive Directors’ annual review on the terms of the transactions contemplated under the Master Procurement Agreement must be included in the Company’s subsequent published annual reports and financial accounts.

Furthermore, it is also required by the Listing Rules that the auditors of the Company must provide a letter to the Board confirming whether anything has come to their attention that causes them to believe that the transactions contemplated under the Master Procurement Agreement (i) have not been approved by the Board; (ii) were not, in all material respects, in accordance with the pricing policies of the listed issuer’s group if the transactions involve the provision of goods or services by the listed issuer’s group; (iii) were not entered into, in all material respects, in accordance with the relevant agreement governing the transactions; and (iv) have exceeded the annual caps.
