On 22 October 2007, the Board announced that on 17 October 2007, the Vendor had entered into the Disposal Agreement pursuant to which the Vendor has conditionally agreed to sell, and the Purchaser has conditionally agreed to purchase 49% equity interest in FTC Distribution, a whollyowned subsidiary of the Vendor engaged in handset distribution business through Shanghai YJ after the Reorganisation. The consideration for the Disposal is HK$57,820,000 payable by cash according to the payment schedule set forth in the section headed “Consideration” under “THE DISPOSAL AGREEMENT” in this circular.

Letter from the Board

Based on the Consideration, it is estimated that the Group will record an unaudited gain of approximately HK$13.02 million (subject to confirmation), with reference to the net asset values of the handset distribution operation as at 30 June 2007 after Reorganisation and FTC Distribution as at 31 August 2007, upon the Disposal.

The Disposal constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. Given that the Purchaser is the controlling shareholder and therefore a connected person (as defined under the Listing Rules) of the Company, the Disposal also constitutes a non-exempt connected transaction under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under the Listing Rules as well as the Independent Shareholders’ approval at the SGM by way of poll. The Purchaser and his associates will abstain from voting with respect to the proposed resolution for approving the Disposal.

An Independent Board Committee has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders on the Disposal. South China Capital has been appointed as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders as to whether the terms of the Disposal Agreement are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

The purpose of this circular is to give you (i) further details of the Disposal; (ii) the recommendation of the Independent Board Committee regarding the Disposal to the Independent Shareholders; (iii) a letter from South China Capital containing its advice to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders on the Disposal; and (iv) the notice of the SGM and the proxy form.

Letter from the Board

The Directors represented that the fulfillment business is the provision of logistics and sales processing services of Nokia’s products to Nokia Professional Centres/Nokia Stores (NPCs). The Company’s principal, Nokia, would conclude sales price and quantity with NPCs and the Company would provide services so that the sales could be fulfilled. The fulfillment business was commenced on 28 August 2006.

The other businesses were mainly the trading of mobile phones and was commenced since the establishment of Fortune (Shanghai) International Trading Co., Ltd..

The Directors represented that at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company does not have the intention to dispose the remaining 51% interest in FTC Distribution. The Company still has the controlling interest in the business and confirm that there is not a change in principle business of the Company at this moment.

Consideration

The Consideration for the Disposal is HK$57,820,000 payable by cash according to the payment schedule as follows:

  • (i) an initial payment of HK$10,000,000 will be payable on Completion;

  • (ii) the second payment of HK$23,910,000 will be made within 6 months from Completion; and

  • (iii) the remaining balance of HK$23,910,000 will be payable within 12 months from Completion.

The valuation report of Shanghai YJ prepared by LCH (Asia-Pacific) Surveyors Limited as at 30 September 2007 of HK$128 million is set out in Appendix I to this circular. The Consideration represents a discount of approximately 7.81% to the valuation of Shanghai YJ as at 30 September 2007.

BaSIS of CoNSIderatIoN

The Consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiation between the Purchaser and the Vendor with reference to, among other things, the valuation of handset distribution business for HK$128 million, at the valuation date of 30 September 2007, as appraised by LCH (Asia-Pacific) Surveyors Limited, an independent professional valuer.

As referred to Appendix I of this circular, the valuation of handset distribution business has already included the handset distribution business to be transferred pursuant to the Reorganisation.

The Directors represented that the discrepancy between the Consideration and the valuation is due to the fact that the remaining 51% shareholding is a controlling stake. Therefore, the said 49% shall be at a discount to the said HK$128 million.

Given the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms of the Disposal Agreement are fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms and the entering into of the Disposal Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Letter from the Board

Conditions Precedent

The Disposal Agreement is conditional upon the fulfillment or performance of the following conditions on or before 27 December 2007:–

  • (i) the approval of the Disposal Agreement by the Independent Shareholders at the SGM in accordance with the Listing Rules;

  • (ii) the obtaining by the Vendor of all relevant bank consents if required;

  • (iii) the Purchaser being reasonably satisfied with the results of a legal, accounting and financial due diligence;

  • (iv) the Purchaser being reasonably satisfied that the Reorganisation has been duly completed; and

  • (v) no representation, warranty or agreement of the Vendor contained in the Disposal Agreement and required to be performed before Completion having been breached.

Completion

Completion will take place upon satisfaction of the above mentioned precedent conditions on or before 27 December 2007 and after the Reorganisation. After completion of the Disposal, FTC Distribution will be an indirect non wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company to be engaged in handset distribution through Shanghai YJ.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the conditions has been fulfilled.

reaSoNS for the dISPoSaL

The Company is principally engaged in distribution of mobile phones and related accessories in the PRC.

Due to the recent unsatisfactory performance and loss making nature of handset distribution business of the Group, it is in the benefit of the Group to dispose certain interest of the handset distribution business of the Group in order to cut loss and diversify the risk.

The reason behind the financial position for the handset distribution business changed from profit to loss position has been indicated in the latest interim report. For Nokia mobile phones, the Group was transforming from national distribution to national fulfillment distribution. Under the new arrangement, the Group provides fulfillment distribution to full range of Nokia models to all Nokia stores in China. During the transition period, the Group suffered from tough price competition among the mobile phone models, namely N3220 and N7610, distributed through our national distribution mode as these models were running towards their product life ends.

For Samsung mobile phone national distribution, due to the repeated delay in the launch of 2 new Samsung models from 2nd quarter to 3rd quarter of the year, the Group did not deliver any new model resulting in losses of operating cost during the period. There was also unexpected quality

Letter from the Board

problem in one of the Group’s important Samsung model, namely D848, during the period. As a result, the group has suffered first time operation loss during the period.

fINaNCIaL aNd tradING ProSPeCtS

As mentioned in the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2007, even though the total number of handsets sold reached approximately 1.4 million sets and the consolidated turnover rose to approximately HK$1,587 million for the first six months ended 30 June 2007, representing an increase of 8% and 30% respectively as compared with those for the previous corresponding period, the gross margin has dropped significantly from 4.2% to -0.2%.

For Nokia mobile phones, the Group was transforming from national distribution to national fulfillment distribution. Under the new arrangement, the Group provides fulfillment distribution to full range of Nokia models to all Nokia stores in China. During the transition period, the Group suffered from tough price competition among the mobile phone models, namely N3220 and N7610, distributed through our national distribution mode as these models were running towards their product life ends.

The Directors represented that the Company also intends to expand its national fulfillment business to other mobile brands. However, the Company has not finalized the brands to be included in the fulfillment business.

For Samsung mobile phone national distribution, due to the repeated delay in the launch of 2 new Samsung models from 2nd quarter to 3rd quarter of the year, the Group did not deliver any new model resulting in losses of operating cost during the period. There was also unexpected quality problem in one of the Group’s important Samsung model, namely D848, during the period. As a result, the Group has suffered first time operation loss during the period.

More losses also came from stock clearance of some slow moving models like, N9300, E50, 788e and i858.

The distribution costs, however, increased by HK$26.2 million or 168% to HK$41.8 million for the six months ended 30 June 2007 mainly because of the increase in marketing expenses for promoting Samsung mobile phones and facilitating stock clearance of Nokia mobile phones. Due to a one-off equity-settled share based payment expense of HK$17.3 million, the Company also recorded an increase in administrative expenses from HK$7.8 million last period to HK$31.7 million this period.

In February 2007, the Group contracted to acquire 51% stake in 珠海市雷鳴達通訊設備有限公 司, a company which is principally and actively involved in the business of distribution and retails of mobile phones, telecom equipments, electronic products, office equipments and their repair services in Zhuhai area.

In April 2007, the Group purchased 50% shareholding in DW Mobile Technology Limited which is principally and actively involved in the business of outlook and content design, marketing and distribution of licensed, characterized and premium mobile phones.

In June 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with TeleChoice International Limited, an indirect subsidiary of Singapore Technologies Telemedia Pte Ltd, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited, to establish a joint venture to engage in the logistics and fulfillment business for Nokia-branded mobile handsets and accessories in the PRC.

Letter from the Board

On 24 July 2007, the Group entered into an agreement (amended by a supplemental agreement on 27 July 2007) to acquire from Messrs Lau Siu Ying, Lau Hung Bing and Lau Kin Ying (both are brothers of Mr. Lau Siu Ying) (collectively the “Vendors”) approximately 40.8% equity interest in a mining company in the PRC (the “PRC Mining Company”). At the date of entering into the acquisition agreement, the PRC Mining Company had the right to conduct mining activities in a mining site which is located in Huangshi, southeastern Hubei. The mining site has a general mining area of approximately 0.62 square kilometers and the mineral resources of the mining site include Celestite, Zinc and Lead.

In August 2007, the Group acquired 25% stake of Intelligence Tech Limited, a company providing software and hardware design, as well as total integrated solutions for mobile terminal technology, particularly focusing in the development of unique feature phone, smartphone and PDA phone targeting the PRC market.

The Directors represented that the Group’s core business will transform from handset distribution business to fulfillment business in order to avoid risk of piling up inventories.

To correctly reflect the new core business direction of the Group, on 18 October 2007, the Group changed its name to “China Fortune Holdings Limited”. The Group has also successfully secured a new domain name www.chinafortune.com.

In November 2007, the Group entered into a supplemental agreement in relation to the acquisition of the PRC Mining Company (the “Acquisition”) pursuant to which (i) the consideration for the Acquisition was agreed by the Group and the Vendors to be adjusted down from HK$408 million to HK$367.2 million; and (ii) a profit guarantee provided by the Vendors for not less than RMB80 million profit before tax for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2008 for the PRC Mining Company after restructuring into a sino-foreign equity joint venture (the “JV”). In addition, the Group entered into an agreement with Foshan Goldsonic Telecom Development Company Limited (“Foshan Goldsonic”) to acquire a further 10% direct interest in the PRC Mining Company after the establishment of the JV. A profit guarantee is provided by the Foshan Goldsonic and Mr. Zhang Zhulin for not less than RMB80 million profit before tax for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2008 for the JV.

Other than the business investments as described above, the Group also intends to enhance the Company’s value to the shareholders by further exploring the viability of diversifying its business into other areas, such as property development in the PRC. The Group is in the process of carrying out review and feasibility study on its core competence and resources deployment with the aim of successfully achieving the said objectives.

fINaNCIaL effeCt of the dISPoSaL oN the GroUP

Based on the Consideration, it is estimated that the Group will record an unaudited gain of approximately HK$13.02 million (subject to confirmation), with reference to the net asset values of the handset distribution operation as at 30 June 2007 after Reorganisation and FTC Distribution as at 31 August 2007, upon the Disposal.

The net proceeds from the Disposal will be applied as general working capital of the Group. The Directors confirmed that the proceeds would not be used to finance the Company’s acquisition of mining rights as disclosed in the announcement dated 27 July 2007.

To: The independent board committee and the independent shareholders of China Fortune Holdings Limited

Dear Sirs,

mAJor AND CoNNeCteD trANSACtIoN: DISPoSAL of 49% INtereSt IN ftC DIStrIBUtIoN eNGAGeD IN HANDSet DIStrIBUtIoN BUSINeSS

INtroDUCtIoN

We refer to our appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in connection with the Disposal, details of which are set out in the letter from the Board (the “Board Letter”) contained in the circular dated 30 November 2007 issued by the Company to the Shareholders (the “Circular”), of which this letter forms part. Capitalised terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as defined in the Circular unless the context requires otherwise.

On 17 October 2007, the Vendor, being a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Purchaser, being the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, entered into the Disposal Agreement pursuant to which the Purchaser conditionally agreed to purchase and the Vendor conditionally agreed to sell its 49% equity interest in FTC Distribution (after the Reorganisation) for a total consideration of HK$57,820,000.

The Disposal constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. In addition, since the Purchaser is the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, the Disposal also constitutes a connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the Independent Shareholders’ approval at the SGM by way of poll. The Purchaser and his associates shall be required to abstain from voting on the relevant resolution(s) to approve the Disposal Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder at the SGM.

An Independent Board Committee comprising Mr. Chang Wing Seng, Victor, Mr. Wong Lit Chor, Alexis and Mr. Chen Yi Gang (all being independent non-executive Directors) has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders on (i) whether the terms of the Disposal Agreement are on

normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned; (ii) whether the Disposal is in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole; and (iii) how the Independent Shareholders should vote in respect of the relevant resolution(s) to approve the Disposal Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder at the SGM. We, South China Capital, have been appointed as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in this respect.

BASIS of oUr oPINIoN

In formulating our advice and recommendation to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders, we have relied on the statements, information, opinions and representations contained or referred to in the Circular and the information and representations as provided to us by the Directors. We have assumed that all information and representations that have been provided by the Directors, for which they are solely and wholly responsible, are true, complete and accurate in all material respects at the time when they were made and continue to be so as at the date of the despatch of the Circular. We have also assumed that all statements of belief, opinion, expectation and intention made by the Directors in the Circular were reasonably made after due enquiries and careful considerations. We have no reason to suspect that any material facts or information have been withheld or to doubt the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information and facts contained in the Circular, or the reasonableness of the opinions expressed by the Company, its advisers and/or Directors, which have been provided to us. We consider that we have taken sufficient and necessary steps on which to form a reasonable basis and an informed view for our recommendation in compliance with Rule 13.80 of the Listing Rules.

We have not made an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets and liabilities of the Group and FTC Distribution, and we have not been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal, save and except for the valuation report prepared by LCH (Asia-Pacific) Surveyors Limited (the “Valuer”) (the “Valuation Report”) as contained in Appendix I to the Circular for the market value of the entire equity interest of Shanghai YJ. We are not experts in the valuation of companies and therefore have relied solely upon the Valuation Report for the market value of the entire equity interest of Shanghai YJ as at 30 September 2007.

The Directors have collectively and individually accepted full responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in the Circular and have confirmed, having made all reasonable enquiries, which to the best of their knowledge and belief, there are no other facts the omission of which would make any statement in the Circular misleading.

We consider that we have been provided sufficient information to reach an informed view and to provide a reasonable basis for our recommendation. We have not, however, conducted any independent in-depth investigation into the business and affairs of the Company and the Purchaser, or their respective subsidiaries or associates, nor have we considered the taxation implication on the Group or the Shareholders as a result of the Disposal. In addition, we have no obligation to update this opinion to take into account events occurring after the issue of this letter. Nothing contained in this letter should be construed as a recommendation to hold, sell or buy any Shares or any other securities of the Company.

PrINCIPAL fACtorS AND reASoNS CoNSIDereD

In arriving at our opinion in respect of the Disposal, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons:

(1) Background of the Disposal

Information on the Group

As confirmed by the Directors, the Group is principally engaged in the handset distribution business, i.e. the Business, the handset fulfillment business and other businesses in the PRC.

Set out below are the financial information of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2007, the six months ended 30 June 2006 and the two years ended 31 December 2006 as extracted from the Company’s unaudited interim report for the six months ended 30 June 2007 (the “2007 Interim Report”) and its audited annual report for the year ended 31 December 2006 (the “2006 Annual Report”) respectively:

Net asset value (“NAV”) 396,457 396,168 353,914

From the above table, we note that the audited total turnover of the Group rose from approximately HK$2,664 million to HK$3,047 million from 2005 to 2006, representing an increase of approximately 14.36%. During the same said years under review, the Group’s profits before and after tax also increased significantly by approximately 84.55% and 93.37% respectively. Nevertheless, the Group’s profitability had been deteriorating substantially since the beginning of 2007. As referred to in the 2007 Interim Report, the gross profit margin of the Group dropped from approximately 4.2% for the six months ended 30 June 2006 to -0.2% for the corresponding period in 2007. The Group had incurred losses before and after taxation

  • 18 -

Letter from SoUtH CHINA CAPItAL

of approximately HK$85 million for the six months ended 30 June 2007. As confirmed by the Directors, the loss was mainly resulted from the unsatisfactory performance and the loss making nature of the Business. We shall elaborate the reasons for such loss as provided by the Directors under the paragraph headed “Information on the Business” in this letter.

For the sake of delineating its business structure, the Group initiated the Reorganisation in October 2007. The Reorganisation is expected to be completed in December 2007 before the Disposal takes place. Upon completion of the Reorganisation, FTC Distribution, being an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, through Shanghai YJ, will concentrate on the Business; whereas Fortune Telecom (China) Limited, being the Company’s another indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, through Fortune (Shanghai) International Trading Co. Ltd., will concentrate on the handset fulfillment business and other businesses in the PRC.

Information on FTC Distribution

FTC Distribution is an investment holding company incorporated in Hong Kong on 26 June 2007. As aforementioned, following the Reorganisation, FTC Distribution will be principally engaged in the Business and the sole asset of FTC Distribution will consist of the entire equity interest in Shanghai YJ.

Information on Shanghai YJ

Shanghai YJ is a company incorporated in the PRC with limited liability. As part of the Reorganisation, the Group will transfer the Business from Fortune (Shanghai) International Trading Co. Ltd. to Shanghai YJ. Shanghai YJ will therefore be principally engaged in the Business following the Reorganisation.

According to the Board Letter, Shanghai YJ possesses an extensive handset distribution and services network in Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, the PRC. Shanghai YJ also owned over 70 sales operations in province/city levels across the PRC with more than 1,500 operating and sales personnel as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Information on the Business, the handset fulfillment business and other businesses

As mentioned in the foregoing, the Group’s business can be divided into the Business, the handset fulfillment business and other businesses in the PRC. With regard to the Business, we have enquired into and were advised by the Directors that the Group mainly distributes Nokia and Samsung’s handsets through the established sales operations of Shanghai YJ across the PRC. The Group as a distributor would suffer from hiking inventory in the event that the sales of handset are unsatisfactory.

Whereas for the handset fulfillment business, we note that it refers to the provision of logistics and sales processing services of Nokia’s products to Nokia Professional Centres/Nokia Stores (“NPCs”) in the PRC. Nokia, being the Group’s only client for the fulfillment business, would conclude sales price and quantity with NPCs and the Group would provide services so that the sales could be fulfilled. The Group commenced the fulfillment business on 28 August 2006 when the Directors foresaw the development opportunities in such business.

Letter from SoUtH CHINA CAPItAL

Lastly, we were given to understand by the Directors that the other businesses are mainly the trading of handset which has been conducted by Fortune (Shanghai) International Trading Co. Ltd. since 1998.

The following table set out the unaudited financial information of the Business based on the management accounts of the Business for the six months ended 30 June 2007 and the two years ended 31 December 2006 respectively:

for the
six months ended for the year ended for the year ended

HK$’000 HK$’000 HK$’000
NAV 91,432 166,613 146,391

As illustrated by the above table, even though the Business was profitable for the two years ended 31 December 2006, it could not sustain its profitability from the beginning of 2007. According to the 2007 Interim Report, the Business recorded considerable losses for the six months ended 30 June 2007 due to the following reasons:

  • (1) the six months ended 30 June 2007 was the transition period of the Group from national distribution to national fulfillment for Nokia mobile phones. In order to clear the stock of some of Nokia’s mobile phones which were running towards their product life ends, the Group suffered from tough price competition;

  • (2) for the Samsung mobile phone national distribution, due to the repeated delay in the launch of two new Samsung models from 2nd quarter to 3rd quarter of 2007, the Group did not deliver any new models for the six months ended 30 June 2007 resulting in losses of operating costs; and

  • (3) the marketing expenses for promoting Samsung mobile phones and facilitating stock clearance of Nokia mobile phones had increased and thereby driving up the distribution costs by approximately 168% to approximately HK$41.8 million for the six months ended 30 June 2007 as compared to the corresponding period in 2006.

Letter from SoUtH CHINA CAPItAL

The Directors are of opinion that the operating environment within the handset distribution industry in the PRC has become increasing competitive. In particular, the Directors are aware of that most handset manufacturers are trying to cut the distribution layers by directly supplying their handsets to provincial distributors and leading retailers in the PRC in order to minimize the operating costs.

We have also researched into the internet in order to form a better understanding on the handset distribution industry in the PRC. From the information we found, we notice that the PRC’s handset distribution industry is under keen competitions. Handset manufacturers and distributors are seeking ways to simplify the handset distribution channels. Since 2003, Motorola and Nokia have started to restructure their distribution channels by abandoning the national distributor system and starting to use provincial distributors. Furthermore, beginning from 2002, the number of specialist handset retailers in the PRC has started to shrink while the household electronic appliance chains which also offer the sales of handsets have expanded. Besides that, in cities like Beijing and Shanghai, the PRC, online sales channels for handsets have been developed. Having considered the aforementioned phenomenon, we concur with the Directors that the PRC’s handset distribution industry will become more diversified, integrated and competitive in the coming future.

While the Group had been encountering the aforementioned difficulties when conducting the Business during the six months ended 30 June 2007, and is facing a competitive operating environment within the handset distribution industry in the PRC, the Directors foresaw the development opportunities in the handset fulfillment services business. Given that (i) most of the leading handset vendors have established sizable individual sales and marketing forces and hence do not require outsider distributors; (ii) plenty of the handset retailers and wholesalers are in need of an efficient operator to fulfill their transactions; and (iii) an increasing number of handset operators such as China Mobile are willing to subsidise activities which will create opportunity for bridging the supply chain between vendors and the widespread retail outlets, the market will require an increasing amount of integrated handset fulfillment distributors who can provide all necessary services, including but not limited to transaction handling, credit financing, delivery, rebate execution and stock buffering, etc. to the customers. In return, the handset fulfillment distributors can receive a contractual margin, as well as various rebates as their service income. The Directors considered such business model to be more transparent as it allows buyer, supplier and fulfillment distributor to share common information. Furthermore, the Directors also expected that such business model will emerge to become the leading business model within the handset services industry.

Having considered (i) the deteriorating profitability of the Business for the six months ended 30 June 2007 and the reasons as put forth by the Directors for such deterioration; (ii) the competitive operating environment within the handset distribution industry in the PRC; and (iii) the upcoming development opportunities within the handset services industry for fulfillment distributors, we concur with the Directors that the Business is likely to suffer from keen competitions whilst the handset fulfillment business and other businesses of the Group in the PRC may have a potential to expand in the future. Shareholders should also note that since Nokia is currently the only client of the Group for the handset fulfillment business, the Group’s operations may be adversely affected in the event that the Group fails to maintain

  • 21 -

Letter from SoUtH CHINA CAPItAL

its business relationship with Nokia and is not able to procure other clients for the handset fulfillment business. Nevertheless, the Directors are confident to procure other clients such as Motorola, Sony Ericsson and LG for the handset fulfillment business given the Group’s extensive experience in this industry. In addition, we were also advised by the Directors that the aforementioned adverse effect would not be crucial to the Group as the Group is in the process of implementing its business diversification strategy including the acquisition of a mining company in the PRC as announced by the Company on 27 July 2007.

Reasons for the Disposal

From the Board Letter, we understand that the Directors considered that it is in the benefit of the Group to dispose of certain interest in the Business in order to limit the operating loss and diversity the business risk. Accordingly, the Company proposes to dispose of its existing 49% equity interest in FTC Distribution, which will be principally engaged in the Business following the Reorganisation. The Directors further confirmed that the Company does not have an intention to dispose of its remaining 51% equity interest in FTC Distribution at present. As a result, FTC Distribution will no longer be wholly-owned by the Company and the Company will consolidate only 51% of the financial results of FTC Distribution into the financial statements of the Group.

Based on the contrasting development prospects of the Business and the handset fulfillment business and other businesses of the Group in the PRC as detailed in the paragraph headed “The Business, the handset fulfillment business and other businesses” in this letter, we concur with the Directors that the Disposal would limit the operating loss and diversity the business risk of the Group. After the Disposal, the Group would be able to focus its resources on the potentially expanding handset fulfillment business and other businesses and thus the Disposal may enhance the overall business performance of the Group in the future. Due to the fact that the Group will maintain 51% equity interest in FTC Distribution, the Disposal would allow the Group to continue to control the management of FTC Distribution and enjoy the flexibility to share in FTC Distribution’s profits in case of any possible future improvement in the development prospects of the Business. As also stated in the Board Letter, the Directors expected that the Group will enjoy an one-off gain of approximately HK$13.02 million (subject to final audit) from the Disposal.

Since the Group is principally engaged in the Business, the handset fulfillment business and other businesses in the PRC, it is in the ordinary and usual course of business for the Group to dispose part of the Business, which is currently loss making, through disposing 49% of its equity interest in FTC Distribution.

Given all of the foregoing (including the benefits which the Disposal may bring to the Group), we are of the opinion that the Disposal is in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

(2) Principal terms of the Disposal Agreement

The Disposal Agreement was entered into between the Vendor and the Purchaser on 17 October 2007. Pursuant to the Disposal Agreement, the Purchaser conditionally agreed to purchase and the Vendor conditionally agreed to sell its 49% equity interest in FTC Distribution for the Consideration of HK$57,820,000. The Consideration will be payable in cash in the following manner:

  • (i) an initial payment of HK$10,000,000 will be payable on Completion;

  • (ii) the second payment of HK$23,910,000 will be made within six months from Completion; and

  • (iii) the remaining balance of HK$23,910,000 will be payable within 12 months from Completion.

Basis of the Consideration

As confirmed by the Directors, the Consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiation between the Purchaser and the Vendor. According to the Valuation Report, the market value of the entire equity interest of Shanghai YJ (after the Reorganisation) was approximately HK$128 million as at 30 September 2007 (the “Shanghai YJ Value”). As further confirmed by the Directors, since FTC Distribution had been set up shortly on 26 June 2007 and does not have any material assets and liabilities save and except for the 100% equity interest in Shanghai YJ upon completion of the Reorganisation but before the Completion, the value of FTC Distribution roughly equals to the market value of Shanghai YJ after the Reorganisation. We note that the Consideration represents a discount of approximately 7.81% to “49% of the Shanghai YJ Value”. In this regard, we have also enquired into and were advised by the Directors that the said discount is due to the fact that the remaining 51% shareholding is a controlling stake. We consider such justification to be acceptable in view of that the Disposal will allow the Group to partially abandon FTC Distribution which according to the Directors is likely to suffer from deteriorating profitability in the future.

In order to further assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Consideration, we have performed a trading multiple analysis which includes the price to earnings ratio (“PER”) and the price to book ratio (“PBR”). We have searched for companies listed on the Stock Exchange which are in similar lines of business to FTC Distribution, i.e. the handset distribution business (the “Market Comparables”). To the best of our knowledge and as far as we are aware of, there are ten companies which met these criteria. Set out below are the PERs and PBRs of the Market Comparables based on their closing prices on 16 October 2007, being the last trading day prior to the date of the Disposal Agreement (the “Last Trading Day”), and their latest published financial information:

(a) The PER analysis

From the above table, we note that the average PER as represented by the Market Comparables was approximately 13.03 times with a range of approximately 2.28 times to 32.73 times.

  • 25 -

Letter from SoUtH CHINA CAPItAL

Given that the unaudited profit after taxation of the Business for the year ended 31 December 2006 was approximately HK$16.01 million (subject to confirmation), the PER of the Disposal is approximately 7.37 times to the unaudited profit after taxation attributable to 49% of the equity interest in the Business for the year ended 31 December 2006, which falls within the PER range of the Market Comparables. In this regard, we also note that the Business actually suffered from an unaudited loss after taxation of approximately HK$75 million for the six months ended 30 June 2007. Accordingly, the above PER analysis is for reference only and it serves to provide a general picture on the PER of the listed companies in Hong Kong which are engaged in similar lines of business to FTC Distribution.

(b) The PBR analysis

From the above table, we also note that the average PBR as represented by the Market Comparables was approximately 6.36 times with a range of approximately 0.51 times to 33.67 times.

Given that the unaudited NAV of the Business as at 30 June 2007 was approximately HK$91.43 million (subject to confirmation), the PBR of the Disposal is approximately 1.29 times to the unaudited NAV attributable to 49% of the equity interest in the Business as at 30 June 2007, which also falls within the PBR range of the Market Comparables.

After taking into account that:

  • (i) the discrepancy between the Consideration and 49% of the Shanghai YJ Value is due to the fact that the remaining 51% shareholding is a controlling stake and we consider it to be acceptable in view of that the Disposal will allow the Group to partially abandon FTC Distribution which according to the Directors is likely to suffer from deteriorating profitability in the future;

  • (ii) the PER of the Disposal of approximately 7.37 times falls within the PER range of the Market Comparables while the Business actually suffered from an unaudited loss after taxation of approximately HK$75 million for the six months ended 30 June 2007; and

  • (iii) the PBR of the Disposal of approximately 1.29 times falls within the PBR range of the Market Comparables,

we concur with the Directors that the Consideration is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

We have also reviewed the other terms of the Disposal Agreement and are not aware of any terms which are uncommon to normal market practice. In light of this, we consider that the terms of the Disposal Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

(3) financial effects of the Disposal

Effect on net asset value

According to the 2007 Interim Report, the unaudited consolidated NAV of the Group was approximately HK$396 million as at 30 June 2007. As confirmed by the Directors, there would be an overall increase in the Group’s NAV upon completion of the Disposal due to the fact that the Consideration is in excess of the unaudited NAV being attributable to 49% of the equity interest in the Business as at 30 June 2007.

Effect on earnings

As aforementioned and stated in the Board Letter, the Directors expected that the Group would enjoy an one-off gain from the Disposal of approximately HK$13.02 million (subject to final audit). Besides that, upon completion of the Disposal, the Company will only hold 51% equity interest in FTC Distribution and therefore the financial results of FTC Distribution will no longer be consolidated as to 100% into the financial statements of the Group. Given the deteriorating profitability of FTC Distribution, the Group’s earnings may improve as a result of the Disposal.

Effect on gearing

As at 30 June 2007, the Group’s gearing level (being calculated as non-current liabilities over equity attributable to equity holders of the Company) was zero. The Directors confirmed that the Disposal would not lead to any increase in the non-current liabilities of the Group. Accordingly, the Disposal would not affect the gearing position of the Group.

Effect on working capital

We understand from the Board Letter that the Company will apply the entire net proceeds from the Disposal as general working capital of the Group. Therefore, the Group’s working capital would be increased by an aggregate amount of approximately HK$56.72 million, being the estimated net proceeds form the Disposal, in three stages following the payment schedule of the Consideration.

Given the aforementioned financial effects of the Disposal to the Group, namely (i) the possible enlargement in the NAV of the Group; (ii) the one-off gain of approximately HK$13.02 million (subject to final audit) and possible improvement in the Group’s future earnings; (iii) the gearing level of the Group being kept stable; and (iv) the rise in the Group’s working capital, we are of the opinion that the Disposal is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

It should be noted that the aforementioned analyses are for illustrative purpose only and does not purport to represent how the financial position of the Company will be upon completion of the Disposal.

reCommeNDAtIoN

Having taken into account the above factors and reasons, we are of the opinion that (i) the terms of the Disposal Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned; and (ii) the Disposal is in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant ordinary resolution(s) to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Disposal Agreement 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 South China Capital Limited Graham Lam Director

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX I

At the request of the management of the Company, we prepared this summary report to summarise our findings and conclusion as documented in the appraisal report for the purpose of inclusion in a public document for the Company’s shareholders’ reference at today’s date. Terms herein used without definition shall have the same meanings as in the appraisal report, and the assumptions and caveats adopted in the appraisal report also apply to this report.

INTRODUCTION

Business enterprise value is defined as the total value of a business. It comprises of monetary assets (net working capital), tangible assets and intangible assets, thereby encompassing all assets of a business enterprise (see Note). In other words, the business enterprise value is also equal to the value of its invested capital - common equity, preferred stocks and long-term debts. While there is no universal definition of the term, it is the usual practice for a professional valuer, based on his professional knowledge and experience, to identify the definition for the intended valuation.

In this appraisal (the word appraisal has the same meaning of valuation in this report), we were instructed to analyse and to express an independent opinion of the value of the entire equity interest of Shanghai YJ (hereinafter referred to as the “Appraised Asset”) as at the Date of Valuation, on a going concern basis, and based on documents and information provided by the management of the Company. Based on the instructions, we define the term business enterprise value in this appraisal as the market value of the Appraised Asset.

The term “Market Value” is defined by the International Valuation Standards (hereinafter referred to as the “IVS”), Eighth Edition, 2007 published by the International Valuation Standards Committee of which the Business Valuation Standards 2005 (hereinafter referred to as the “BVS”) published by the Hong Kong Business Valuation Forum and the HKIS Valuation Standards on Trade-related Business Assets and Business Enterprises, First Edition, 2004 (hereinafter referred to as the “HKIS Standards”) published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors follow as “the estimated amount for which an asset 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”.

We further assumed that, subject to the above definition, both the buyer and the seller contemplate the retention of Shanghai YJ at its existing status for the continuation of the current operations and with the inclusion of the planned business, on going concern basis, and both seeking their maximum economic self-interest in arriving at an arm’s-length transaction.

We understand that the management of the Company will refer our work product (disregarding the form of presentation) as part of its business diligence and we have not been engaged to make specific purchase or sale recommendations. We further understand that the management of the Company will not rely solely on our work, and that the use of our work product will not supplant other due diligence which the management of the Company should conduct in reaching its business decision. Our work is designed solely to provide information that will allow the management of the Company to make an informed decision.

Note: A business enterprise is defined as a commercial, industrial, service, or investment entity, or a combination thereof, pursuing an economic activity.

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX I

Based on the financial information provided by the management of the Company, the audited financial performance of Shanghai YJ since year 2003 (before reorganisation) can be fairly represented as follows:

RMB Dec 2003 Dec 2004 Dec 2005 Dec 2006
Turnover 274,799,509 248,359,899 265,317,012 355,295,289
After-tax Net Profit 4,950,202 11,018,289 5,025,888 4,880,444
Total Asset 45,919,669 58,277,632 68,773,762 68,025,640

According to the information from the management of the Company, Shanghai YJ possesses an extensive distribution and services network in handset distribution, business with operations in Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and over 70 sales operations in province/city levels across the PRC with more than 1,500 operating and sales personnel.

On 22 October 2007, the Company announced that pursuant to a disposal agreement, one of its subsidiaries – Fortune Telecom Limited (hereinafter referred to as the “Vendor”) has agreed to sell 49% (or per cent. used in the report) equity interest (out of 100%) in Fortune Telecom (China) Distribution Limited (hereinafter referred to as the “FTC Distribution”) to the Company’s major shareholder. However, this disposal is subject to a chain of reorganisation activities among the Company’s subsidiaries, and the result will lead to (i.) the transfer of handset distribution business among the Company’s subsidiaries to Shanghai YJ and (ii.) Shanghai YJ becomes the wholly-owned subsidiary of FTC Distribution.

We have been advised by the management of the Company that upon the completion of the reorganisation, Shanghai YJ will be responsible for the handset distribution business of the Company in the Greater China region. Based on the management accounts of the handset distribution business (consolidated) provided by the management of the Company, the unaudited net asset value of the handset distribution business amounted to approximately HK$91,432,000 as of 30 June 2007, and the unaudited revenue and the unaudited profit/(loss) after taxation attributable to the handset distribution business in 2005, 2006 and the six months ended 30 June 2007 are presented below:

HK$ Dec 2005 Dec 2006 Jan – June 2007
(unaudited) (unaudited) (unaudited)
Revenue 2,368,245,000 2,817,429,000 1,057,817,000
After-tax Profit (Loss) 1,572,000 16,011,000 (75,181,000 )

The management of the Company considered that the reasons for the loss of business for the first half of 2007 were: the handset distribution business suffered from tough price competition among the mobile phone models, namely N3220 and N7610 of NOKIA, which were running towards their product life ends. For Samsung mobile phone national distribution, due to the repeated delay in the launch of 2 new Samsung models from 2nd quarter to 3rd quarter of the year, the handset distribution business did not deliver any new model resulting in losses of operating cost during the period. There

APPENDIX I

was also unexpected quality problem in one of its handset distribution business’ important Samsung model, namely D848, during the period. As a result, the handset distribution business’ has suffered first time operation loss during the period.

The management of the Company opined that should the above factors did not happen during the period, the handset distribution business shall have a similar financial position as year 2006. The management of the Company believed that through the reorganisation among its subsidiaries shortly afterwards, the handset distribution business will benefit in the coming years.

For the purpose of this valuation, the management of the Company was requested to provide updated financial projections to us for the next period i.e. 2008, and the following figures were extracted from the latest projections provided. They are:

HK$ July to Dec 2007 whole Year 2007 Dec 2008
Turnover 1,060,000,000 2,117,817,000 2,600,000,000
After-tax Net Profit (Loss) (53,000,000 ) (128,181,000 ) 14,820,000

The Economic Outlook of China

The economy of China is the fourth largest in the world when measured by nominal GDP (Gross Domestic Product). Its economic output for 2006 was USD2.68 trillion. The GDP growth of China for last year was 11.10% (revised figures). With the strong growth of China’s economy at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 10.19% from 1990 to 2006, it is expected that the China economic growth would remain at 8.5% to 9% from 2008 to 2011. Due to large scale investments both from domestic and foreign companies, China’s booming economy has consistently overshot government targets in recent years. Economists further estimated that the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing would benefit China’s national GDP by an additional one per cent. Therefore, the overall prospects of the Chinese economy are favourable in the next few years.

The Industry

The appearance of handset devices had a tremendous impact in the communication market. It revolutionized the efficiency and method of communication. Nowadays, many countries have more mobile phones than people. The total number of mobile phone subscribers in the world was estimated at 2.14 billion in 2005. And in 2006, around 80% of the world’s population experiences mobile phone coverage. And this figure is expected to increase to 90% by the year 2010. The worldwide market for “wireless handsets” totaled around USD110 billion in 2005. In 2006, it grew to USD136 billion and the research firms expect the market to exceed USD250 billion by 2011. It is hardly a surprising statistic given the many innovations of handsets available in the global market. The purpose of handset manufacturers is to make users feel that their handsets without innovations are unbearable. With the continual release of ever innovative handsets into the market, the market of handsets will continue to grow in the next few years.

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX I

An organisation that tracks Asia’s telecom markets predicts the Chinese handset sector will grow to 255 million units in 2011 from 137.9 million units in 2006. And according to Gartner’s July 2007 report, the Chinese handset market in 2007 is expected to reach 170 million units, with a 30 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2003 to 2007. It also predicts a CAGR of 18.8% from 2007 to 2011. This is how rapidly growing the Chinese handset market is. However, according to Analysis International’s data, the increasingly fierce competition in China’s handset market had reduced the competitive advantages of domestic handset makers and resulted in a decrease of market shares. Foreign mobile phone brands such as NOKIA, Motorola, Samsung and Sony Ericsson took a combined 70.7% share of China’s mobile phone market. NOKIA announced that its net sales in China surged by 39 per cent. to 5.3 billion Euros in 2006 which is an increase of 67 per cent. compared to the previous year. It is forecasted that the whole market will see a double-digit growth in 2007. Domestic handsets are facing a tough operating environment as foreign handsets have greater brand recognition among Chinese consumers.

The world’s second-biggest mobile phone maker, Samsung, sold a record of 42.6 million handsets in the third quarter of 2007 globally. During the first three quarters of 2007, Samsung sold 115 million mobile phones, which exceeds the 114 million handsets that the company sold in all of 2006. And a large part of this sale is in the Chinese market. In fact, Samsung was a relative latecomer to the Chinese market. It started its operation in China in 1995. Since then, it has made a cumulative USD2.5 billion investment and set up 23 plants in China. Currently, Samsung is speeding up its expansions in China, planning to shift its global focus from the United States to China. Regionally, there are four representative offices situated in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong and Shenyang responsible for marketing activities of Samsung’s electronic products. There is a handset team in each office to take care of all activities related to the handset market.

In Asia today, the mobile phone is becoming more and more a fashionable consumer product. It is beyond just a communication tool, but also a representation of the user’s taste and style. The appearances rather than the functions become the key factor of consideration when a consumer purchases a handset device. In this aspect, Samsung has gained wide popularity in China’s mobile phone market due to its style and fashion in appearance. Samsung pursues a strategy of high quality and high price, targeting the high-end market. All Samsung’s handsets sold in China are imported from abroad and they are distributed from national wholesalers to regional wholesalers and then to individual retailers. Increasingly, Samsung has gained a considerable portion in the China handset market.

According to the Ministry of Information Industry in China, there are 487 million mobile phone users in 2007. This number is far beyond the 371 million landline phone users in China. In 2003, the number of mobile phones in China surpassed that of landline phone for the first time. The rapid increase of the number of mobile phone users in China is astonishing. Since the start of 2006, the number of mobile phone users increased by 6 million and the number of landline phone users increased by only 1 million. Most of the newly added subscribers of mobile phones are from rural areas since the mobile phone market in big cities is nearing a saturation point. Not surprisingly, the SMS usage also increased 38.1% from the previous year to reach 182.6 billion of text messages sent. And NOKIA is estimating mobile phone user numbers in China will pass the 500 million mark by the end of 2007. NOKIA said in a statement that it also sees the ratio of replacement buyers growing from around 60 per cent. of the total handset device market to over 80 per cent. by 2010.

In the course of valuation, we will assume the information that contained in the materials is correct and we will not verify or ascertain the correctness of the information contained in the materials.

  • To prepare and submit a list(s) of required document and information regarding the operation of Shanghai YJ during the course of valuation. The completeness of the valuation depends on the availability of the required information being supplied by the management of Shanghai YJ.

THE BASIS OF VALUATION

The Appraised Asset is valued on the basis of “Market Value” in continued use or as a going concern. The continued use premise assumes that the Appraised Asset will be used for the purpose for which the Appraised Asset was conceived or is currently used.

ESTABLISHmENT OF TITLES

Due to the market value basis of valuation, the management of the Company provided us the necessary documents to support that the legally interested party in the Appraised Asset, the Vendor, has free and uninterrupted rights to assign the Appraised Asset (in this instance, an absolute title) free of all encumbrances and any premiums payable have already been paid in full or outstanding procedures have been completed. However, our procedures to value as agreed with the management of the Company did not required us to conduct legal due diligence on the legality and formality on the way that the legally interested party obtained the Appraised Asset from the relevant authorities. We agreed with the management of the Company that this should be the responsibility of the legal advisor to the management of the Company. Thus, no responsibility or liability is assumed from our part to the origin and continuity of the titles to the Appraised Asset.

  • 37 -

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX I

For the sake of valuation, we have been provided with copies of the title documents and legal opinions dated 26 November 2007 issued by Guantao Law Firm (觀韜律師事務所), lawyers qualified to practice in China, (the “Legal Opinion”) regarding the Appraised Asset. According to the Legal Opinion, the Vendor has obtained full legal and beneficial title free from all encumbrances in respect of the Appraised Asset. However, we have not inspected the original documents filed in the relevant authorities to verify ownership or to verify any amendment which may not appear on the copies handed to us. We need to state that we are not legal professionals and are not qualified to ascertain the titles and to report any encumbrances that may be registered against the Appraised Asset. In the course of preparing our report, we have relied solely on the copy of the Legal Opinion with regards to the existing legally interested party in the Appraised Asset. No responsibility and liability is assumed in relation to those opinions or copies of documents.

In our valuation, we have assumed that the legally interested party in the Appraised Asset has obtained all the approval and/or endorsement from the relevant authorities, and that there would have no legal impediment (especially from the regulators) for the legally interested party to continue the ownership of the Appraised Asset. Should this not be the case, it will affect our conclusion in this report significantly. The readers are reminded to have their own legal due diligence work on such issues. No responsibility or liability is assumed.

APPROACH TO VALUE

In the process of valuation, we have considered the three generally accepted business enterprise appraisal approaches to value, namely the Asset-based Approach, the Market Approach and the Income Approach.

The Asset-based Approach

The assumption of this approach is that when each of the elements of working capital, tangible and intangible assets is individually valued, their sum represents the value of a business enterprise and equals to the value of its invested capital (equity and long-term debt). In other words, the value of the business enterprise is represented by the money that has been collected to purchase the business assets needed. This money comes from investors who buy the stocks of the business enterprise (equity) and investors who lend money to the business enterprise (debt). After collecting the total amount of money from equity and debt, and converted into various types of assets of the business enterprise for its operations, their sum equals the value of the business enterprise.

From a valuation perspective, the valuer will restate the value of all types of assets of a business enterprise from book value i.e. historical cost minus depreciation to appropriate standards of value. After the restatement, the valuer can identify the indicated value of the business enterprise.

This approach to value is only appropriate when the subject business enterprise is an asset rich entity or a real estate investment holding. Shanghai YJ is basically a service company and a trading company. We consider its real assets are its holding of exclusive supply contracts, a sales network and its relationship with its customers and these are intellectual properties. It is difficult to assess the replacement cost of intellectual property and the value of the expertise used in developing this kind of intellectual property since the Company’s incorporation.

  • 38 -

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX I

Given that the Asset-based Approach does not take into consideration the stunning market potential and future growth of the business, its business model, and the impact of its management’s abilities. We, therefore, considered this approach as irrelevant.

market Approach

The Market Approach is basically a comparison method to value a business enterprise by comparison to the prices at which other similar business nature companies or interests changed hands in arm’s-length transactions. The underlying theory of this approach is one would not pay more than one would have to pay for an equally desirable alternative. By using this approach, the valuer will first look for valuation indication from the prices of other similar companies or equity interests in companies that were sold recently. The right transactions used in analysing for valuation indication need to be sold on an arm’s-length basis, assuming that the buyers and sellers are well informed and have no special motivations or compulsions to buy or to sell. Then, based on those transactions to derive multiples (i.e. financial ratios) to apply to the fundamental financial variables of the subject business enterprise and to arrive at an indicated value of the subject business enterprise. The most commonly used multiples are price-to-earnings (“PE”), price-to-sales (“PS”) and price-to-tangible book multiple.

There are two methods of the Market Approach known as the Guideline Publicly Traded Company Method (by using similar company daily stock transaction prices) and the Guideline Merged and Acquired Company Method. Both methods need to rely on analysing available similar transacted comparables, and the big difference is on the structure of transactions - daily stock transaction prices in public market or mergers and acquisitions as occurred. In most cases, finding good market comparables is often difficult (particularly for those mergers and acquisitions) for there is no single marketplace where similar assets change hands between buyers and sellers, who are well informed and have no special motivations or compulsions to buy or to sell, are recorded.

To the best of our knowledge, there were some merger and acquisition activities of similar business ventures in China in 2007. They were:

  1. HSW International, Inc. (NASDAQ: HSWI) on 2 October announced that it has completed its previously announced merger with INTAC International, Inc. (NASDAQ: INTN). INTN is an emerging provider of educational and career development services and software for educational institutions and a distributor of wireless handset products in China. As a result of the merger, INTN International has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of HSW International, and INTN International’s stock will no longer be quoted on NASDAQ. Under terms of the transaction, INTN shareholders are entitled to exchange their INTN shares for an equal number of shares in HSW International’s stock.

  2. Guangzhou Global Telecom Inc. (OTCBB: GZGT) on 14 June announced that it has signed a Letter of Intent with Hengwei Digital Ltd. (“Hengwei”) to acquire a 100% equity interest in Hengwei for the purchase price of 2,000,000 Renminbi (approximately USD263,158). Hengwei, located in Guangzhou, is a private company engaged in importing and exporting cell phones and cell phone spare parts. In 2006, Hengwei realized unaudited revenues of approximately USD1,000,000 with a net profit of approximately USD50,000.

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX I

We take the view that there might have been a number of merger and acquisition activities of similar business ventures like the transaction listed above in China or in Hong Kong around the Date of Valuation, however, due to the imperfect nature of the market, details of the transactional data and the basis were not made available to the public. Under such circumstances, we have not relied on the Guideline Merged and Acquired Company Method in our estimate of the market value of the Appraised Asset due to insufficient supporting data (market-based transactional information in this instance).

To the best of our knowledge, we aware that there are numerous closely-held companies having similar line of business in China. However, we have difficulties in using these companies as guideline companies as no sufficient financial data and earnings of these companies are made available to the public to form a “guideline” of the industry. The use of these comparables will cause inadequate comparative analysis.

As the Company is a listed company on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, we, then, walked through the listed companies in the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited to look for guideline companies to set up a representative industry benchmark to support our valuation. We noticed that there are several publicly traded companies in the Main Board (the market that the Company’s shares is listed) and in the Growth Enterprise Board having approximately similar line of business as the Company and with operation in China. Details of these companies are listed below for quick reference.

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX I

From the above selected companies, we are aware that only Global Tech (Holdings) Limited and First Mobile Group Holdings Limited have comparable business to Shanghai YJ or simply the Company, but the defect is - they have no (or previously have) or small scale operation in mainland China. We take the view that as the Company and the comparable companies are listed in the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the products that the companies distributed are homogeneous - mobile phones, the price of the relevant stocks already factored in such geography difference on the market by the investors.

In our analysis, we have considered which variable to be used in the valuation such as PE or PS or both. Once the variable has been determined, the relevant market-derived capitalisation rate will be adopted to arrive at the value of the Appraised Asset.

The PE ratio is the most commonly used valuation measure. It compares the price of a share to the company’s earnings (net profit) per share. It directly relates the price of a share to the proportion of the company’s profits that belong to the owner of that share. One of the reasons for the popularity of the PE ratio is its simplicity. It can be calculated simply by dividing the share price by the earning per share (“EPS”).

Although PE is the most widely used valuation ratio and has the advantage of being comparatively simple, the problem with this measure is that it only looks at the growth rate over one year, whereas with high growth companies it is their long term growth potential that matters. This makes it a rather crude measure that may be useful for initial screening but should only be used as a valuation ratio with caution. It also assumes a linear relationship between growth and value (a company with twice the growth rate should have twice the PE) which is also incorrect although it may be a reasonable approximation when comparing similar companies. Further, a company’s earning is distorted by financial structure (how indebted, or not, a company is) and the accounting policy adopted. EPS can be whatever the company wants it to be, depending on assumptions and accounting policies. Last but not the least, in most stocks with incredibly high PE ratios (or no PE ratios) is seldom measured by its earnings. Most investors are generally looking at the promise of future earnings. And the promise of future earnings comes from high revenue growth curves with a scalable business model that produces higher earnings in the future, which, to certain extent, is speculative. This is against the underlying theory of “as-is and in perpetuity” when using the financial multiples.

Given that the above disadvantages of using the PE ratio and the continuous reported malpractice of accounting treatments of publicly traded companies especially on the earnings in China, we have reservation to adopt the market-derived PE ratio in our valuation. Ipso facto, the loss of the handset distribution business in 2007 and its subsequent earnings in 2008 (estimate) caused uncertainty in applying any multiple in relation to earning elements of the Company.

The PS ratio is the company’s price divided by its sales (or revenue). But because the sales number is rarely expressed as a per-share figure, it is easier to divide a company’s total market value (equals to share price x outstanding shares) by its total sales for the last 12 months. The PS ratio has become an increasingly popular method of valuation since late 1990s. Perhaps it is due to the difficult-to-manipulate sales figures (especially when the country/area has the value-added-tax system), the sales are generally stable than earnings as earnings are often manipulated through write-offs and

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX I

other accounting shenanigans but sales are much harder to “manage”. Second, some quantitative investors demonstrated that stocks with low PS ratios outperformed stocks with low PE multiples. Third, the explosion in Internet stocks forced investors to look for ways to value companies with lots of potential, but no earnings. Finally, some analysts considered it is far more important to gauge the stock’s valuation by the PS ratio because all of the assumptions of future earnings are based on the revenue projection, not the earnings history which is distorted by non-cash items.

It is a consensus that the PS ratio is best used when the subject and guideline companies are homogeneous in operating characteristics with high customer base persistence like Shanghai YJ.

Having studied in detail, we have taken out Global Tech (Holdings) Limited for the company only resumed trading on 10 September 2007 after 3 years suspension for trading since July 2004. The short period of trading may not be ideal for comparison purpose. We have also considered the PS ratio of the Company, but have reservation to make reference to its stock price related multiples for we believed the recent Company’s announcement on investment in mining projects would have impact to its stock price and making it difficult to compare to a purely handset distribution business operator.

Finally, we have adopted the PS ratio of First Mobile Group Holdings Limited as the representative industry ratio to be used in our valuation.

This study is fully cognisant of the fact that there are several listed companies in the stock exchanges of China with part of their businesses similar to the business of Shanghai YJ. They are: TCL Corporation (000100), Dalian Daxian Co., Ltd. (600747), Stellar Megaunion Corporation (000892), Konka Group Co., Ltd. (200016) and China Kejian Co., Ltd. (000035).

Theoretically, the financial data of these companies after making suitable adjustment can be used as a valuation indication of representative industry. However, care is required in using such financial multiples in valuation for: i.) the different scale of operation and market parameters of these companies compared to Shanghai YJ, in particular Shanghai YJ is not a mobile phone manufacturer; ii.) the size difference between these companies and Shanghai YJ which may involve subjective adjustment on the size premium; iii.) some of these companies are involved in other industry segments such as property development and enjoy various tax benefits, this may affect their financial ratios. In fact, China is considered by a number of investors as a comparatively risky country due to the frequent intervention of the government in its financial and equity markets, and the speculative nature of its stock market. Such moves will cause the stock market or the price of the underlying stock to fluctuate substantially, which distorts the valuation ratios compared to stock performance. Thus, for the sake of representation, it is a common practice to use comparable companies from a mature equity market with a comparatively high level of institutional holder ratio, like Hong Kong or the U.S.

APPENDIX I

Income Approach

The Income Approach focuses on the economic benefits generated by the income-producing capability of a business enterprise. The underlying theory of this approach is that the value of a business enterprise can be measured by the present worth of the economic benefits to be received over the useful life of the business enterprise. Based on this valuation principle, the Income Approach estimates the future economic benefits and discounts these benefits to its present value using a discount rate suitable for the risks associated with realising those benefits. Alternatively, this can be calculated by capitalising the economic benefits to be received in the next period at an appropriate capitalisation rate. This is subject to the assumption that the business enterprise has been maintaining stable economic benefits and growth rate.

Theoretically, this approach is considered to be the most appropriate approach in valuing a business enterprise since a rational buyer normally will purchase an asset only if the present value of the expected economic benefits is at least equal to the purchase price. Likewise, a rational seller normally will not sell if the present value of the expected economic benefits is more than the selling price. Thus, a sale generally will occur only at an amount equal to the economic benefits of the business enterprise.

We used the method of capitalisation of income stream in our valuation as the management of the Company confirmed that the expected annually compounded rate of growth is stable and sustainable over a long period of time. In capitalising, we focused on the return of just one single period and then divided that single number by a divisor called the capitalisation rate. The capitalisation rate is the difference between the discount rate and the expected long-term growth rate of the subject asset being valued (in this instance, the handset distribution business). However, the use of such analysis reflects investment criteria and requires the valuer to make empirical and subjective assumptions.

The first step of the computation is to estimate the economic income projection in the next twelve months. We were provided with a latest version of financial projection from the appointed personnel of Shanghai YJ, and they are responsible for the assumptions upon which the projections are based. Having discussed with the appointed personnel of Shanghai YJ, we understood that the assumptions adopted by the appointed personnel of Shanghai YJ reflect their judgment of their ability to promote and to commercialise their research and development through its marketing strategy and client networks. The projections are based on their view of the most likely action to be taken by Shanghai YJ in the operation of the business, and they attested that the supplied data are accurate and reasonable.

The second step is to estimate the appropriate capitalisation rate by reference to the cost of capital of Shanghai YJ. We take the view that cost of capital in a capital investment project is forward looking, same as the capital investment project itself. Thus, we need to take into consideration the capital structure of the project in the future to determine its required cost of capital i.e. discount rate. We have referenced our finding to the cost of capital of the Company because the capital structure of Shanghai YJ was and will be tied up with the Company upon completion of the reorganisation. From Bloomberg, we noted that the cost of capital (the weighted average cost of capital) of the Company

  • 44 -

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX I

is 4.66%. Having considered the possible risks to the Company upon completion of the acquisition of a mining company in the near future, an additional risk premium of, say 6% (such as additional cost of debt be required) was added to the existing Company’s cost of capital to reflect the possible risks to be faced by the Company in the mining business.

For the estimation of the long-term growth rate, we have made reference to the inflation rate in the Greater China region, the projected growth of Shanghai YJ, the Greater China’s economy and the world economy as a whole. Having considered the quantity and quality of available data, and each analysed method in providing a valid indication of capitalisation rate, we have, therefore, assigned a capitalisation rate of 8.66 per cent. in our valuation.

Based on our assessment of the relative merits of each of the approaches, a weighting factor was given to reflect our preference on the Market Approach in our valuation. Thus, the indicated market value of the Appraised Asset was estimated at HK$128 million.

VALUATION COmmENTS

As we are valuing the entire equity interest of Shanghai YJ, no discount or premium has been taken. By definition, ownership interests in closely held companies are typically not readily marketable, and, by definition not as liquid and as easily converted to cash compared to similar interests in public companies. Therefore, a share of stock in a privately held company is usually worth less than an otherwise comparable share in a publicly held company. However, it is the fact that the Company has entered into an agreement to dispose the FTC Distribution’s stock (of which Shanghai YJ is FTC Distribution’s major asset) only to the Company’s major shareholder, a connected transaction, so lack of marketability may not be an important issue in this case.

mATTERS THAT mIgHT AFFECT THE VALUE REPORTED

No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages, outstanding premium or amounts owing on the Appraised Asset. Also, no allowance has been made in our valuation for any expenses or depreciation or taxation, which may be incurred in effecting a sale of the Appraised Asset. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the Appraised Asset is free from all encumbrances, restrictions, and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect its value.

In our valuation, we have assumed that the Appraised Asset is able to sell and purchase in the market without any legal impediment (especially from the regulators). Should this not be the case, it will affect the reported value significantly. The readers are reminded to have their own legal due diligence work on such issues. No responsibility or liability is assumed.

As at the Latest Practical Date of this circular, we are unable to identify any adverse news against the Appraised Asset which may affect the reported value in our report. Thus, we are not in the position to report and comment on its impact (if any) to the Appraised Asset. However, should it be established subsequently that such news did exist at the Date of Valuation, we reserve the right to adjust the value reported herein.
