THE SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Date :

21 April 2008

Parties :

  • Purchaser : Rich Key Enterprises Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company

  • Purchaser’s warrantor : The Company, which jointly and severally with the Purchaser, gives certain representations, warrants and undertaking in favour of the Vendor

  • Vendor : Wu Jixian

Given the Vendor is a Director and a director of certain subsidiaries of the Company, the Vendor is a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. The Vendor holds the Tranche 1 Bonds in principal amount of HK$1,015 million as at the Latest Practicable Date. Upon the completion of the Second Previous Acquisition, the Vendor will hold an aggregate of HK$2,115 million of the Existing Convertible Bond (assuming no transfer and/or conversion of the Existing Convertible Bonds made at all). Details and terms of Existing Convertible Bonds are set out in the Company’s announcement dated 24 January 2008 and circular dated 20 March 2008.

Assets to be acquired

Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser has agreed to acquire and the Vendor has agreed to sell or procure the sale of (i) the Sale Shares, being the entire issued share capital of the Target Company immediately before the Completion; and (ii) the Sale Debts, subject to the terms and conditions as set out in the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge and information having made all reasonable enquiry, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the amount of the Sale Debt is approximately HK$10,000.

The information regarding the Target Group is set out in the paragraph headed “Information on the Target Group” below.

8

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Consideration

The Acquisition Price is initially HK$2,400 million, subject to adjustment as set out in the paragraph headed “Adjustments to the Acquisition Price” below.

The Acquisition Price shall be satisfied by the Company issuing the New Convertible Bonds upon the Completion, which are convertible into the Conversion Shares at an initial conversion price of HK$0.63 per Conversion Share, subject to adjustments.

The consideration of the Sale Shares shall be an amount equal to the difference between the Acquisition Price and the face value of the Sale Debts as at the Completion Date. The consideration of the Sale Debt shall be an amount equal to the face value of the Sale Debts as at the Completion Date. In the event that the Sale Debts exceeds the Acquisition Price, the entirety of such Sale Debts shall be assigned to the Purchaser (or to its order) at a consideration of the Acquisition Price less HK$1.

The Acquisition Price was determined after arm’s length negotiation with reference to the business prospects of the Target Group, the potential synergy on the Coal-related Ancillary Businesses to be acquired by the Group upon completion of the Second Previous Acquisition, a price earning multiple of about 8 times which is derived from the Acquisition Price divided by the sum of the Guaranteed 2009 Net Profit (as defined in the paragraph headed “Adjustments to the Acquisition Price” below), and the price earnings multiple with reference to the weighted average price earnings ratio of approximately 20 times of the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index and the Hong Kong Hang Seng Composite Index in energy sector for December 2007. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms and conditions of the Acquisition to be fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Adjustments to the Acquisition Price

Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Vendor represents and warrants to the Purchaser that as at the Completion Date:

  • (i) the audited consolidated net tangible assets of the Target Group (after the minority interests but before the any adjustment in relation to any valuation of any of the PRC Operation Licence(s)) as shown in the Completion Accounts in respect of the Target Group shall not be less than HK$650 million (the “ NTA Warranty ”);

  • (ii) there shall be no other borrowings, obligations or liabilities (whether actual or contingent) of the Target Group owing to any other party (whether the Vendor or its Associates or otherwise); and

  • (iii) (otherwise than those as disclosed to and agreed by the Purchaser in advance) there are no guarantees given by any member of the Target Group whatsoever and howsoever.

9

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

If there occurs any breach of the warranty set out in (i) above and reflected in the Completion Accounts, the Acquisition Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the shortfall (or to the extent that the shortfall is not more than HK$150 million, the Vendor may elect to make up the shortfall by payment as gift to the Target Company of such amount of cash as equal to the shortfall). If there occurs any breach of the warranties set out in (ii) or (iii) above and reflected in the Completion Accounts, the Acquisition Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate amount of such additional liabilities, provided that if the shortfall in the audited consolidated net tangible assets of the Target Group is caused by the same liabilities in connection with the breach of the warranties set out in (ii) above, the above adjustment to the Acquisition Price shall be made once and shall not be double-counted. In the event of a reduction of the Acquisition Price pursuant to the foregoing adjustment, the Purchaser shall, issue and deliver to the Vendor, against the delivery up for cancellation of the then New Convertible Bonds held by it, new Convertible Bonds for the balance of the Acquisition Price payable on the basis of the Acquisition Price as so adjusted.

The above mentioned payment as gift arrangement is an alternative way provided for the Vendor to make the shortfall by cash directly to the Target Company, instead of the cancellation and re-issue of the New Convertible Bonds arrangements, where such shortfall is equal to or less than HK$150 million of the NTA Warranty.

In the event that the amount (“ Vendor Retained Debt ”) calculated based on the following formula:

The Vendor Retained Debt = {Total consolidated or combined tangible assets of the Target Group as at the Completion Date} less {Total consolidated or combined liabilities of the Target Group owing to parties (other than the Vendor and his Associates) as at the Completion Date} less {HK$650 million}

is greater than zero, the Vendor Retained Debt shall be excluded from (and shall not form part of) the Sale Debts, and the Vendor Retained Debt shall, notwithstanding the Completion, remaining to be owing by the relevant members of the Target Group to the Vendor and shall be repaid by such members of the Target Group to the Vendor in accordance with the then prevailing terms of advances made by the Vendor or his Associates.

Furthermore, the Vendor irrevocably guarantees to the Purchaser that the net profit (including any profit derived from any sales of coke by the Target Group to the Group) after minority interests but before tax and before extraordinary or exceptional items of the Target Company for the financial year ending 31 December 2009 as shown in its respective Audited Accounts (“ Audited 2009 Net Profit ”) shall not be less than HK$300 million (“ Guaranteed 2009 Net Profit ”).

10

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

If the Audited 2009 Net Profit is less than HK$300 million, then the Acquisition Price shall be adjusted (before taking account of the NTA Warranty) by the following formula:

==> picture [393 x 25] intentionally omitted <==

Note 1 : HK$1,750 million = the Acquisition Price less the NTA Warranty

Or where the Audited 2009 Net Profit is less than zero, then the adjusted Acquisition Price shall (before taking account of the NTA Warranty) be deemed to be zero.

In the event of a reduction of the Acquisition Price pursuant to the above adjustment, the Vendor shall, within five Business Days after the date of publication of the Audited Accounts of the Target Group for the year ending 31 December 2009, (a) make payment to the Purchaser for the reduced amount of the Acquisition Price (but taking into account of the NTA Warranty being met and for such purpose, the portion of the Acquisition Price attributable to the NTA Warranty in any event shall not exceed HK$650 million) by way of either cash or the delivery up for cancellation of the then New Convertible Bonds held by it, and (b) against the Vendor’s discharge of its said payment obligations pursuant to paragraph (a) above, the Purchaser shall (within five Business Days from the date of the Vendor’s discharge of the said payment obligations) procure the issue by the Company and delivery to the Vendor of the New Convertible Bonds for the balance (if any) of the Acquisition Price so adjusted. For the avoidance of doubt, no upward adjustment to the Acquisition Price shall be made if the Audited 2009 Net Profit is equal to or greater than the Guaranteed 2009 Net Profit.

If the Acquisition Price has to be adjusted as mentioned above, any New Convertible Bonds to be delivered by the Vendor to the Company for payment of the shortfall and the Company’s cancellation will be calculated based on their face value of the principal amounts of such New Convertible Bonds. Only outstanding New Convertible Bonds may be used for payment of such shortfall. In the event that part of the New Convertible Bonds has been converted, such part will no longer be available for payment of the shortfall.

The rationale of the above adjustments to the Acquisition Price is based on the commercial decision between the parties after arm’s length negotiation, with reference to the NTA Warranty and the proportion of the Guaranteed 2009 Net Profit achieved by the Audited 2009 Net Profit.

An announcement will be made in the event that the Acquisition Price has been adjusted in accordance with the above adjustments.

11

The rights to waive the above closing conditions are conferred to the Purchaser for the purpose of giving it the maximum commercial flexibilities to take the lead of the transactions. Such rights will only be exercised if and when the Directors believe such exercise is in the best interests of the Company and will not prejudice the Company’s interest to a material extent. The Purchaser does not have any immediate intention to waive any of the closing conditions.

INFORMATION ON THE TARGET GROUP

The Target Company is an investment company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on 7 December 2007.

By the Preliminary Reorganisation Agreement, the Reorganisation has been or will be carried out:

  • (i) before Completion, the Coal Processing Assets were currently operated by 孝 義市金岩電力煤化工有限公司 (Xiaoyi City Golden Rock Electricity Coal Chemical Company Limited) (“ Golden Rock* ”), and the related assets and liabilities will become vested in the PRC Subsidiaries; and

  • (ii) following the steps mentioned in (i) above, the HK Subsidiary will hold 91% of the registered capital in the PRC Subsidiaries.

and all the above steps under the Reorganisation shall be consummated on or before the Completion.

Golden Rock is a limited liability company established in the PRC in 1999. To the best knowledge and information of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the registered capital of RMB80 million of Golden Rock is owned by three Independent Third Parties. Under the Second Previous Acquisition, it is proposed that Golden Rock will be an equity holder of the PRC subsidiary of Joy Wisdom to be established in the PRC and engaged in the Coal-related Ancillary Businesses. Save as disclosed above, Golden Rock is an Independent Third Party and is independent of the Vendor and his connected persons. Upon the completion of the Preliminary Reorganisation Agreement, Golden Rock will hold 9% of the PRC Subsidiaries.

To the best knowledge and information of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, the original acquisition costs of the Coal Processing Assets by the PRC Subsidiaries from Golden Rock will be approximately HK$650 million and as at the Latest Practicable Date, the PRC Subsidiaries has not yet been formed and the Coal Processing Assets has not yet been acquired by the PRC Subsidiaries.

19

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

According to the Board, the Sale and Purchase Agreement does not provide nor contemplate that Golden Rock will transfer to the PRC Subsidiaries any of its existing customers, suppliers and/or any staff or personnel relating the Coal Processing Assets or any contractual rights made with such existing customers, suppliers and/or staff or personnel. Furthermore, in negotiating the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement between the Company and the Vendor, no discussion or any arrangement relating to such transfer as part of the consideration.

The Coal Processing Assets, which include coke ovens and coking coal towers, are located in Xiaoyi City, Shangxi. At present, the Coal Processing Assets are being operated by approximately 600 staff with an annual production capacity of 800,000 tons of coke.

The corporate structure of the Target Group before and after the Reorganisation and at Completion is set out below:

As at the date of signing the Sale and Purchase Agreement

The Vendor 100% Target Company 100% HK Subsidiary

After the Reorganisation, assuming the Acquisition is not yet completed

The Vendor 100% Target Company 100% HK Subsidiary 91% Coal Processing Business PRC Subsidiaries

As the Coal Processing Business has not been formed, no historical financial record is available as at the Latest Practicable Date.

However, based on the financial information in relation to the Coal Processing Assets for the year ended 31 December 2007 set out in Appendix II to this circular, the unaudited revenue and net profit derived from the Coal Processing Assets were approximately RMB804.8 million and RMB130.8 million, respectively. Since such plants and machineries were under construction before the year ended 31 December 2007, no income was derived for the financial year ended 31 December 2006 and 31 December 2005. The net assets value of the Coal Processing Assets proposed to be acquired amounted to approximately HK$650 million.

Other than the entering into the Preliminary Reorganisation Agreement, no member of the Target Group has conducted any businesses since their respective dates of incorporation.

The Target Company is an investment company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on 7 December 2007. Before the completion of the Reorganisation, the Target Company and its subsidiaries are dormant with no major assets nor liabilities. As set out in the Appendix II and Appendix III to the Circular, the accountants’ report on the Target Company and its subsidiaries has not been prepared for the inclusion of the Circular as the Directors consider that the such financial information the Target Company and its subsidiaries are not material for the Acquisition.

21

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

According to the valuation report on the Coal Processing Assets set out in Appendix V to this circular, B. I. Appraisals Limited, the independent valuer, have not been provided by the Company with copies of title documents relating to the buildings and structures for the fixed assets held by Golden Rock (“Buildings”). In the course of their valuation, they have relied on the advice given by the Group regarding the title to the Buildings and the legal opinion prepared by 山西晉義律師事務所 (Shanxi Jin Yi Law Firm), the Group’s legal advisor on PRC law, regarding the title to and the interest of the Group in the Buildings.

The legal opinion of Shanxi Jin Yi Law Firm dated 27 June 2008 is summarized as follows:

  • a) As the Buildings were built by Golden Rock Group, the ownership of the Buildings is naturally vested in Golden Rock Group and there shall not be any dispute with other third party in such ownership.

  • b) Though Golden Rock Group has not yet registered the ownership of the Buildings; its ownership is protected under the PRC law.

  • c) The Buildings are free from any third party rights and are not distrained upon by any judicial and arbitration authorities nor being subject to administrative penalty from local government on such reason as illegal improvements. There is no limitation in the right to use the Buildings.

  • d) According to Article 68 of 【中華人民共和國物權法】 (Law on Property Rights of the PRC), which states that “the Business Enterprise enjoys, in accordance with the law and administrative regulations, the rights to occupy, use, make profit and dispose of its current and fixed assets”, Golden Rock Group has the right to transfer to other third party the Buildings, which were built by itself, within the scope of the permitted relevant law.

As the existing management of the Group does not have the relevant experience and expertise in operating the Coal Processing Business, it is expected that the existing personnel may be retained for the daily operation of the Target Group, and where appropriate, suitable new personnel will be recruited. The Company may also invite person(s) who has substantial experience in Coal Processing Business joining the Board to participate in the management of the newly acquired business. The Directors consider that the vertical integration of the Coal Processing Business will enable the Group to have synergy to the trading of coke business recently engaged by the Group upon completion of the First Previous Acquisition and the Coal-related Ancillary Businesses to be acquired by the Company upon completion of the Second Previous Acquisition.

REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION

The Group is principally engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of a diversified range of consumer home products.

On 24 January 2008, the Group announced the First Previous Acquisition and the Second Previous Acquisition from the Vendor. Upon completion of the Previous Acquisitions and the Completion, the Group will also engage trading of coke, the Coalrelated Ancillary Businesses and the Coal Processing Business.

The completion of the First Previous Acquisition took place on 16 May 2008 and, save for any unforeseen reasons, the Directors expected that the Second Previous Acquisition would be taken place in one or two months’ time.

22

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

For the six months ended 30 June 2007, the Group recorded an unaudited loss of approximately HK$19.2 million as compared to a profit of approximately HK$6.3 million for the same period in year 2006. For the year ended 31 December 2007, the Group recorded an audited turnover of approximately HK$640.6 million, representing a decline of 10.37% from approximately HK$714.7 million in 2006. The loss was mainly due to stagnant sales and the persisting high levels of production cost as a result of fluctuating raw materials prices. The Directors consider that demand for household products slackened while competition was fierce that resulted in intense pressure on profit margins.

According to the US Energy Information Administration (the “ EIA ”), world coal consumption increases by 74% and international coal trade increases by 44% over the projection period from 2004 to 2030, while coal’s share of world energy consumption increases from 26% in 2004 to 28% in 2030. According to EIA, coal is the second-largest fuel source of energy-related carbon dioxide emissions behind oil, accounting for 39% of the world total in 2004 and it is projected to become the largest source by 2010. Furthermore, China and India together account for 72% of the projected increase in world coal consumption from 2004 to 2030 as strong economic growth is projected for both countries and much of the increase in their demand for energy is expected to be met by coal. Moreover, international traded coal made up 15% of total world consumption in 2004 and world trade coal is projected to grow at an average annual rate of 1.5%.

As the Group started engaging in trading of coke business after completion of the First Previous Acquisition and will engage in the Coal-related Ancillary Business after completion of the Second Previous Acquisition, the Directors consider that the Coal Processing Business, being the upstream of the Group’s coke trading business and downstream of the Coal-related Ancillary Business, will enable the Group to complete its coal business operation. Besides, the vertical integration of the Coal Processing Business will enable the Group to have synergy to the trading of coke business recently engaged by the Group upon completion of the First Previous Acquisition and the Coal-related Ancillary Businesses to be acquired by the Company upon completion of the Second Previous Acquisition.

After discussion with the Vendor, the Directors will, on the best effort basis, retain the existing staff of Golden Rock and appoint suitable new personnel for the daily operation of the Target Group. Having considered the annual production capacity of approximately 800,000 tons of coke by the Coal Processing Assets, the Directors and the Vendor consider that the Guaranteed 2009 Net Profit is reasonable.

In view of the above, the Directors consider that the Acquisition represents an opportunity for the Group to further diversify into the prosperous coal business and broaden its revenue base. The Directors currently have no intention to change the existing principal business of the Group. Save for the Company may invite person(s) who has substantial experience in Coal Processing Business joining the Board to participate in the management of the new coal and coke business to be acquired, there will not be change in control of the Company as a result of the Acquisition. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms and conditions of the Acquisition are fair and reasonable and the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

23

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITION ON THE GROUP

Prior to Acquisition, the Company does not hold any interest in the Target Company. Upon the completion of Acquisition, the Company will directly and beneficially own 100% of the equity interest in the Target Company and the HK Subsidiary and 91% equity interest in the PRC Subsidiaries. According to the accounting policies of the Group, the Target Group will be treated as indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and its financial results will be consolidated into the Group.

Earnings

The Group recorded an audited consolidated loss attributable to the equity holders of the Company of approximately HK$42.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2007. According to the unaudited pro forma financial information on the Enlarged Group set out in Appendix III to this circular, the unaudited consolidated loss attributable to the equity holders of the Enlarged Group would be approximately HK$81.0 million after the completion of Acquisition and the pro forma basic loss per share will be approximately HK17.0 cents being the pro forma net loss of the Enlarged Group divided by the total weighted average number of ordinary shares issued.

Assets

As at 31 December 2007, the audited total assets of the Group were approximately HK$281.0 million. As set out in the unaudited pro forma balance sheet of the Enlarged Group set out in Appendix III to this circular, the unaudited pro forma total assets of the Enlarged Group would be increased by approximately HK$2,471.5 million to approximately HK$2,752.5 million, where the unaudited pro forma net assets of the Enlarged Group would be approximately HK$806.6 million. The increase in unaudited total assets is mainly attributable to the net effect of increase in property, plant and equipment of approximately HK$794.5 million and increase in goodwill of approximately HK$1,677.0 million.

Goodwill of approximately HK$1,677.0 million arising from Acquisition, which is derived from the consideration of HK$2,400.0 million minus the fair value of equity interest in the net assets of Target Group acquired which amounted to approximately HK$723.0 million as at 31 December 2007. The positive goodwill would be recognised in the consolidated balance sheet.

Liabilities

The Group recorded audited consolidated total liabilities of approximately HK$104.2 million as at 31 December 2007. As set out in the pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Enlarged Group set out in Appendix III to this circular, the unaudited pro forma total liabilities of the Enlarged Group would be increased by approximately HK$1,841.6 million to approximately HK$1,945.8 million. The increase is mainly attributable to the issuance of New Convertible Bond of approximately HK$1,731.3 million and the deferred tax liabilities of approximately HK$110.3 million. The Directors are of the view that there would not be any material capital commitment nor contingent liability arising from Acquisition that will have material adverse impact on the financial position of the Group immediately after the completion of Acquisition.

24

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS

As the Group started engaging in trading of coke business after completion of the First Previous Acquisition on 16 May 2008 and will engage in the Coal-related Ancillary Business after completion of the Second Previous Acquisition, the Directors consider that the Coal Processing Business, being the upstream of the Group’s coke trading business and downstream of the Coal-related Ancillary Business, will enable the Group to complete its coal business operation. Besides, the vertical integration of the Coal Processing Business will enable the Group to have synergy to the trading of coke business recently engaged by the Group upon completion of the First Previous Acquisition and the Coal-related Ancillary Businesses to be acquired by the Company upon completion of the Second Previous Acquisition. As the existing management of the Group does not have the relevant experience and expertise in operating the Coal Processing Business, it is expected that the existing personnel will be retained for the daily operation of the Target Group, and where appropriate, suitable new personnel will be recruited in the future. The Company may also invite person(s) who has substantial experience in Coal-related Ancillary Businesses joining the Board to participate in the management of the new business to be acquired by the Group. With the existing clienteles as well as the existing revenue base of the Target Group, the Directors believe that the Group will be able to widen its source of income by diversifying its business into prospective energy related business and improving the Group’s profitability by broadening its business scope.

In view of the increase in demand for coal around the world, the Directors are optimistic about the performance of the Group as the Group’s investment in the coalrelated business is expected to improve the Group’s profitability, sustain its growth momentum, and broaden the revenue stream of the Group.

Accordingly, the Company will focus, including the corporate resources, on the development of the Coal Processing Business and Coal-related Ancillary Businesses while the Company will continue to operate its business of design, manufacture and sale of consumer home products to maintain stable income stream to the Group.

THE MASTER SUPPLY AGREEMENTS

On 21 April 2008, Joy Wisdom and Pride Eagle have entered into the Coal Master Supply Agreement and the Coke Master Supply Agreement with the Target Company in relation to the sale and supply of coal and coke products respectively.

Given that the Vendor is the sole and ultimate beneficial owner of the Target Group prior to the Completion and is a Director and a director of certain subsidiaries of the Company subsequent to the completion of the First Acquisition on 16 May 2008, each member of the Target Group prior to the Completion is a connected person under the Listing Rules. Therefore, the Coal Master Supply Agreement and the Coal Transactions between Joy Wisdom (and/or its subsidiaries) and the Target Group upon completion of the Reorganisation and the Second Previous Acquisition but before the Completion, and the Coke Master Supply Agreement and Coke Transactions between Pride Eagle (and/or its subsidiaries) and the Target Group upon completion of the Reorganisation and the

Upon completion of the acquisition of the Coal-related Ancillary Businesses by Huscoke Investment but before completion of the Second Previous Acquisition, the Coal-related Ancillary Businesses will be owned by the Vendor through Huscoke International and its subsidiary in the PRC. Upon completion of the Reorganisation but before the Completion, the Coal Processing Business will be owned by the Target Group.

The completion of the First Previous Acquisition took place on 16 May 2008. Save for any unforeseen reasons, the Directors expected that the Second Previous Acquisition would be taken place in one or two months’ time.

As the Group started engaging in trading of coke business after completion of the First Previous Acquisition and will engage in the Coal-related Ancillary Business after completion of the Second Previous Acquisition, the Transactions are consistent with the past business dealings of Golden Rock before completion of the above mentioned reorganisations and acquisitions.

As the Transactions will be conducted on normal commercial terms and conditions determined on an arm’s length basis, the Directors (including the independent nonexecutive Directors) consider that the terms and conditions of the Master Supply Agreements (including the cap amounts) are fair and reasonable and it is in the best interest of the Group to engage in the Transactions as they will facilitate the new businesses (namely, the Coal-related Ancillary Businesses and trading of coke) of the Group.

IMPLICATION FROM THE LISTING RULES

The Acquisition constitutes a very substantial acquisition on the part of the Company under chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. Given the Vendor is a Director and a director of certain subsidiaries of the Company, the Vendor is a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules and therefore the Acquisition also constitutes a connected transaction of the Company upon chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Pursuant to the chapters 14 and 14A of the Listing Rules, the Acquisition is subject to the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirement. The Vendor and its Associates will be required to abstain from voting for the approval of the Acquisition and the transactions contemplated thereunder at the SGM.

Given that the Vendor is the sole and ultimate beneficial owner of the Target Group prior to the Completion and is a Director and a director of certain subsidiaries of the Company, each member of the Target Group prior to the Completion is a connected person under the Listing Rules. Therefore, the Coal Master Supply Agreement and the Coal Transactions between Joy Wisdom (and/or its subsidiaries) and the Target Group upon completion of the Reorganisation and the Second Previous Acquisition but before the Completion and the Coke Master Supply Agreement and Coke Transactions between Pride Eagle (and/or its subsidiaries) and the Target Group upon completion of the Reorganisation and the First Previous Acquisition but before the Completion will constitute continuing connected transactions for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. As the

28

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

relevant percentage ratios of the cap amount of the Transactions will exceed 2.5% on annual basis, the Master Supply Agreements and the Transactions are subject to the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirement pursuant to Rule 14A.35 of the Listing Rules. The Vendor and his Associates will be required to abstain from voting in the SGM to be convened for the approval of, inter alia, the Transactions. To the best knowledge of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiry, save for the interest in the underlying Shares held by the Vendor under the Existing Convertible Bonds and the New Convertible Bonds as disclosed in Appendix VIII to this circular, none of the Vendor and his Associates held any Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

PROPOSED INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the existing authorised share capital of the Company are HK$1,000 million divided into 10,000 million Shares, of which 690,426,292 Shares were in issue. As such, most of the existing balance of authorised but unissued share capital of 9,309,573,708 Shares may be used for the allotment and issue of the 3,809,523,809 Conversion Shares and the 5,287,500,000 new Shares, upon the conversion of the outstanding Existing Convertible Bonds and the New Convertible Bonds, if the conversion rights attached thereto are exercised in full respectively.

Accordingly, the Company proposes to increase its authorised share capital from HK$1,000 million comprising 10,000 million Shares to HK$2,000 million comprising 20,000 million Shares, by creation of 10,000 million new Shares, which will be put at the SGM for Shareholders’ approval.

Save for the new Shares and the new Conversion Shares which may be allotted and issued upon the conversion of the Existing Convertible Bonds and the New Convertible Bonds respectively, the Company has no present intention to issue new Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

PROPOSED CHANGE OF NAME OF THE COMPANY AND ADOPTION OF SECONDARY NAME

The Board proposes to change the name of the Company from “Frankie Dominion International Limited” to “Huscoke Resources Holdings Limited” and adopt “和嘉資源控 股有限公司 ” as secondary name of the Company.

Reasons and conditions for the change

Completion of the First Previous Acquisition took place on 16 May 2008. Following such completion, the Group started engaging in the trading of coke business. Upon completion of the Second Previous Acquisition and the Acquisition, the Group will also engage in the Coal-related Ancillary Businesses and the Coal Processing Business. The Board considers the proposed new name of the Company provides a better identification of the Group’s new development and expansion to the coal related businesses.

30 June 2008

To the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders of Frankie Dominion International Limited

Dear Sirs/Madams,

VERY SUBSTANTIAL ACQUISITION AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION AND CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our engagement as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders on the Acquisition and the continuing connected transactions in relation to the Transactions, details of which are set out in the Letter from the Board (the “ Letter from the Board ”) contained in the circular (the “ Circular ”) of the Company to the Shareholders dated 30 June 2008, of which this letter forms part. Terms used in this letter have the same meanings as defined in the Circular unless the context otherwise requires.

On 21 April 2008, the Company, the Purchaser and the Vendor entered into the Sale and Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Purchaser agreed to acquire from the Vendor the Sale Shares and the Sale Debts at a consideration of HK$2,400 million in accordance with the terms and conditions as set out in the Sale and Purchase Agreement. The Acquisition constitutes a very substantial acquisition on the part of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. Given the Vendor is a Director and a director of certain subsidiaries of the Company, the Vendor is a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules and therefore the Acquisition constitutes a connected transaction of the Company upon Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. The Vendor and its Associates will be required to abstain from voting for the approval of the Acquisition and the transactions contemplated thereunder at the SGM.

34

LETTER FROM HANTEC

On 21 April 2008, each of Joy Wisdom and Pride Eagle has entered into the Coal Master Supply Agreement and the Coke Master Supply Agreement with the Target Company in relation to the sale and supply of watered/processed coal and coke products respectively. Given that the Vendor is the sole and ultimate beneficial owner of the Target Group prior to the Completion and is a Director and a director of certain subsidiaries of the Company, each member of the Target Group prior to the Completion is a connected person under the Listing Rules. Therefore, the Coal Master Supply Agreement and the Coal Transactions between Joy Wisdom (and/or its subsidiaries) and the Target Group upon completion of the Reorganisation and the Second Previous Acquisition but before the Completion and the Coke Master Supply Agreement and Coke Transactions between Pride Eagle (and/or its subsidiaries) and the Target Group upon completion of the Reorganisation and the First Previous Acquisition but before the Completion will constitute continuing connected transactions for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. As the relevant percentage ratios of the cap amount of the Transactions will exceed 2.5% on annual basis, the Master Supply Agreements and the Transactions are subject to the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirement pursuant to Rule 14A.35 of the Listing Rules. The Vendor and his Associates will abstain from voting in the SGM to be convened for the approval of, inter alia, the Transactions. To the best knowledge of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, save for the interest in the underlying Shares held by the Vendor under the Existing Convertible Bonds and the New Convertible Bonds as disclosed in Appendix VIII to the Circular, non of the Vendor and his Associates held any Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The Independent Board Committee comprising three independent non executive Directors, namely Mr. Lee Johnson, Mr. Wan Hon Keung and Mr. Sun Tak Keung, have been appointed to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Acquisition, the Master Supply Agreements and the Transactions are on normal commercial terms and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

BASIS OF OUR ADVICE

In arriving at our recommendation, we have relied on the statements, information and representations contained in the Circular and the information and representations provided to us by the Directors and the management of the Company. We have assumed that all information and representations contained or referred to in the Circular and all information and representations which have been provided by the Directors and the management of the Company for which they are solely responsible, are true and accurate at the time they were made and will continue to be accurate at the date of the despatch of the Circular. We have no reason to doubt the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information and representations provided to us by the Directors and the management of the Company.

We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information on which to form a reasonable basis for our opinion. We have no reason to suspect that any relevant information has been withheld, nor are we aware of any facts or circumstances which would render the information provided and representations made to us untrue, inaccurate

35

LETTER FROM HANTEC

or misleading. We consider that we have performed all the necessary steps to enable us to reach an informed view and to justify our reliance on the information provided so as to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Having made all reasonable enquiries, the Directors have further confirmed that, to the best of their knowledge, they believe there are no other facts or representations the omission of which would make any statements in the Circular, including this letter, misleading. We have not, however, carried out any independent verification of the information provided by the Directors and the management of the Company, nor have we conducted an independent investigation into the business and affairs of the Group, Pride Eagle, Joy Wisdom and the Target Group.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT

The principal factors and reasons that we have taken into consideration in assessing the Acquisition, the Transactions and the terms thereof in arriving at our opinion are set out as follows:

1. Background of the Acquisition

Information on the Group

The Group is principally engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of a diversified range of consumer home products. Upon completion of the Previous Acquisitions and the Completion, the Group will also engage in trading of coke, the Coal-related Ancillary Businesses and the Coal Processing Business. The First Previous Acquisition has been taken place on 16 May 2008 and save for unforeseen reasons, the Directors expected the Second Previous Acquisition was expected to be taken place in one to two months’ time.

For the six months ended 30 June 2007, the Group recorded an unaudited loss attributable to equity holders of the Company of approximately HK$19.2 million as compared to a profit attributable to equity holders of the Company of approximately HK$6.3 million for the same period in year 2006. For the year ended 31 December 2007, the Group recorded an audited turnover of approximately HK$640.6 million, representing a decline of 10.37% from approximately HK$714.7 million in 2006. The loss was mainly due to stagnant sales and the persisting high levels of production cost as a result of fluctuating raw materials prices. The Directors consider that demand for household products slackened while competition was fierce that resulted in intense pressure on profit margins.

Assets to be acquired

Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser has agreed to acquire and the Vendor has agreed to sell or procure the sale of (i) the Sale Shares, being the entire issued share capital of the Target Company immediately before the Completion; and (ii) the Sale Debts, subject to the terms and conditions as set out in the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

36

LETTER FROM HANTEC

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge and information having made all reasonable enquiry, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the amount of the Sale Debt is approximately HK$10,000.

Information on the Target Group

The Target Company is an investment company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on 7 December 2007. Before the completion of the Reorganisation, the Target Company and its subsidiaries are dormant with no major assets nor liabilities.

By the Preliminary Reorganisation Agreement, the Reorganisation has been or will be carried out:

  • (i) before Completion, the Coal Processing Assets were currently operated by 孝義市金岩電力煤化工有限公司 (Xiaoyi City Golden Rock Electricity Coal Chemical Company Limited) (“ GoldenRock* ”), and the related assets and liabilities will become vested in the PRC Subsidiaries; and

  • (ii) following the steps mentioned in (i) above, the HK Subsidiary will hold 91% of the registered capital in the PRC Subsidiaries.

and all the above steps under the Reorganisation shall be consummated on or before the Completion.

Golden Rock is a limited liability company established in the PRC in 1999. To the best knowledge and information of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the registered capital of RMB80 million of Golden Rock is owned by three Independent Third Parties. Under the Second Previous Acquisition, it is proposed that Golden Rock will be an equity holder of the PRC subsidiary of Joy Wisdom to be established in the PRC and engaged in the Coal-related Ancillary Businesses. Save as disclosed above, Golden Rock is an Independent Third Party and is independent of the Vendor and his connected persons. Upon the completion of the Preliminary Reorganisation Agreement, Golden Rock will hold 9% of the PRC Subsidiaries.

To the best knowledge and information of the Directors have made all reasonable enquiries, the original acquisition costs of the Coal Processing Assets by the PRC Subsidiaries from Golden Rock will be approximately HK$650 million and as at the Latest Practicable Date, the PRC Subsidiaries have not yet been formed and the Coal Processing Assets have not yet been acquired by the PRC Subsidiaries.

As set out in the Letter from the Board, the Sale and Purchase Agreement does not provide nor contemplate that Golden Rock will transfer to the PRC Subsidiaries any of its existing customers, suppliers and/or any staff or personnel relating to the Coal Processing Assets or any contractual rights made with such existing customers,

  • For identification purpose only

37

LETTER FROM HANTEC

suppliers and/or staff or personnel. Furthermore, in negotiating the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement between the Company and the Vendor, no discussion or any arrangement relating to such transfer were regarded as part of the consideration.

As set out in the Letter from the Board, the Coal Processing Assets, which include coke ovens and coking coal towers, to be acquired by PRC Subsidiaries are located in Xiaoyi City, Shangxi. At present, the Coal Processing Assets are being operated by approximately 600 staff with an annual production capacity of 800,000 tons of Coke.

As the Coal Processing Business has not been formed, no historical financial record is available as at the Latest Practicable Date. However, based on the financial information in relation to the Coal Processing Assets for the year ended 31 December 2007 as set out in Appendix II to the Circular, the revenue and net profit before tax derived from the Coal Processing Assets were approximately RMB804.8 million and RMB130.8 million respectively. Since such plants and machineries of the Coal Processing Assets were under construction before the year ended 31 December 2007, no income was derived for the two financial year ended 31 December 2006. The market value of the Coal Processing Assets as valuated by B.I. Appraisals Limited amounted to RMB742,500,000 as at 30 April 2008. Other than the entering into the Preliminary Reorganisation Agreement, no members of the Target Group have conducted any businesses since their respective incorporation.

As advised by the Directors, the vertical integration of the Coal Processing Business will enable the Group to have synergy to trading of coke recently engaged by the Group and the Coal-related Ancillary Businesses to be acquired by the Company upon completion of the Second Previous Acquisition.

2. Reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Group started engaging in trading of coke business after completion of the First Previous Acquisition which has been taken place on 16 May 2008 and will engage in the Coal-related Ancillary Business upon completion of the Second Previous Acquisition, the Directors consider that the Coal Processing Business, being the upstream of the Group’s coke trading business and downstream of the Coal-related Ancillary Business, will enable the Group to complete its coal business operation. Besides, the vertical integration of the Coal Processing Business will enable the Group to have synergy to trading of coke recently engaged by the Group and the Coal-related Ancillary Businesses to be acquired by the Company upon completion of the Second Previous Acquisition.

38

LETTER FROM HANTEC

The Group is principally engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of a diversified range of consumer home products. Upon completion of the Previous Acquisitions, the Reorganization and the Completion, the Group will engage in trading of Coke, the Coalrelated Ancillary Businesses and the Coal Processing Business. Accordingly, the Company will focus, including the corporate resources, on the development of the Coal Processing Business and Coal-related Ancillary Businesses while the Company will continue to operate its business of design, manufacture and sale of consumer home products to maintain stable income stream to the Group.

As set out in the Letter from the Board, according to the US Energy Information Administration (the “ EIA ”), world coal consumption increases by 74% and international coal trade increases by 44% over the projection period from 2004 to 2030, while coal’s share of world energy consumption increases from 26% in 2004 to 28% in 2030. According to EIA, coal is the second-largest fuel source of energy-related carbon dioxide emissions behind oil, accounting for 39% of the world total in 2004 and it is projected to become the largest source by 2010. Furthermore, China and India together account for 72% of the projected increase in world coal consumption from 2004 to 2030 as strong economic growth is projected for both countries and much of the increase in their demand for energy is expected to be met by coal. Moreover, international traded coal made up 15% of total world consumption in 2004 and world traded coal is projected to grow at an average annual rate of 1.5%. With respect to the increase in demand for coal around the world, the Directors are optimistic about the performance of the Group as the Group’s investment in the coal-related business is expected to improve the Group’s profitability, sustain its growth momentum, and broaden the revenue stream of the Group.

In view of the above, the Directors consider that the Acquisition represents an opportunity for the Group to further diversify into the prosperous coal business and broaden its revenue base. The Directors currently have no intention to change the existing principal business of the Group. Save for the Company may invite person(s) who has substantial experience in Coal Processing Business joining the Board to participate in the management of the new coal and coke business to be acquired, there will be no change in control of the Company as a results of the Acquisition. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms and conditions of the Acquisition are fair and reasonable and the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Having taken into account that (i) the Acquisition will enable the Group to have synergy to trading of coke currently engaged by the Group and the Coal-related Ancillary Businesses upon completion of the Second Previous Acquisition, (ii) the Acquisition is in line with the Group’s development strategy of diversification into the prosperous coal business, (iii) the Acquisition is expected to strengthen the Group’s earnings base with respect to the historical profitability of the business attributable to the Coal Processing Assets as mentioned above, and (iv) the positive future outlook of the coal related business, we concur with the Directors that the Acquisition is fair and reasonable and is in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole and is in line with the Group’s development strategy.

39

LETTER FROM HANTEC

3. The Consideration

The Acquisition Price is initially HK$2,400 million, subject to adjustments as set out in the Letter from the Board under the section headed “Adjustments to the Acquisition Price”. The Acquisition Price shall be satisfied by the Company issuing the New Convertible Bonds upon the Completion, which are convertible into the Conversion Shares at an initial conversion price of HK$0.63 per Conversion Share, subject to adjustments.

The consideration of the Sale Shares shall be an amount equal to the difference between the Acquisition Price and the face value of the Sale Debts as at the Completion Date. The consideration of the Sale Debt shall be an amount equal to the face value of the Sale Debts as at the Completion Date. In the event that the Sale Debts exceeds the Acquisition Price, the entirety of such Sale Debts shall be assigned to the Purchaser (or to its order) at a consideration of the Acquisition Price less HK$1.

As set out in the Letter from the Board, the Acquisition Price was determined after arm’s length negotiation with reference to the business prospects of the Target Group, the potential synergy on the Coal-related Ancillary Businesses to be acquired by the Group upon completion of the Second Previous Acquisition, a price earning multiple of about 8 times for the Acquisition which is derived from the Acquisition Price divided by the sum of the Guaranteed 2009 Net Profit (as defined in the Letter from the Board under the section headed “ Adjustments to the Acquisition Price ”), and the price earnings multiple with reference to the weighted average price earnings ratio of approximately 20 times of the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index and the Hong Kong Hang Seng Composite Index in energy sector for December 2007. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms and conditions of the Acquisition to be fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Comparison with HK Comparable Companies

As stated in the Letter from the Board, a price earning multiple of about 8 times which is derived from the Acquisition Price divided by the sum of the Guaranteed 2009 Net Profit. In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Consideration, we have identified, on our best effort, following companies listed on the Stock Exchange (the “ Comparable Companies ”), of which part of their businesses, and/or their associate companies, and/or their jointly controlled entities are engaged

LETTER FROM HANTEC

As illustrated above, the price earning multiples of the Comparable Companies identified vary from 6.41 times to 29.92 times with the mean value of approximately 23.49 times. From the above, we observed that the price earning multiples of the Target Group of 8 times represented by the Acquisition Price is within the range of the Comparable Companies, and represented a discount of approximately 65.9% to the average of the price earning multiples of the Comparable Companies of approximately 23.49 times. Hence we consider the Acquisition Price is acceptable and is in the interest of the Company.

Having taken into consideration that (i) the price earning multiples of the Target Group of 8 times represented by the Acquisition Price is within the range, (ii) the profitability of the business attributable to the Coal Processing Assets mentioned under the section headed “Information on the Target Group” above, (iii) the Acquisition Price has been arrived at after arm’s length negotiation with reference to the business prospects of the Target Group, the potential synergy on the Coalrelated Ancillary Businesses to be acquired by the Group upon completion of the Second Previous Acquisition, and (iv) the positive financial results attributable to the Coal Processing Assets will be consolidated into the Group’s account, we are of the view that the Acquisition Price is considered reasonable and on normal commercial terms to the Company and is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

4. Adjustments to the Acquisition Price

The Acquisition Price of approximately HK$2,400 million is subject to adjustments, the details of which are set out in the Letter from the Board under the section headed “Adjustments to the Acquisition Price”.

Based on the adjustments set out in the Letter from the Board and having considered that (i) the net tangible assets of the Target Group is warranted through the NTA Warranty by Vendor of not less than HK$650 million and the remaining balance of HK$1750 million will be adjusted downward based on the actual performance of the Coal Processing Business in the event that the Guaranteed 2009 Net Profit can’t be achieved, (ii) the bases for the adjustments to the Acquisition Price including the making up the shortfall of NTA Warranty and the repayment for the reduced amount of the Acquisition Price which both provide safeguard to the Group for the reasonable adjustments towards the Acquisition Price, (iii) the Acquisition Price will be adjusted downward in the event of the failure to achieve the Guaranteed 2009 Net Profit, and (iv) the said adjustments were made based on the commercial decision between the parties after arm’s length negotiation, we are of the view that the adjustments to the Acquisition Price were on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

LETTER FROM HANTEC

5. The New Convertible Bonds

The Acquisition Price shall be satisfied by the Company issuing the New Convertible Bonds upon the Completion, which are convertible into the Conversion Shares at an initial Conversion Price of HK$0.63 per Conversion Share, subject to adjustments. The Convertible Bonds are interest-free and have a maturity of five years.

The Conversion Price of HK$0.63 per Conversion Share represents:

  • (i) the closing price of HK$0.63 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

  • (ii) a premium of approximately 0.3% to the average of the closing prices of approximately HK$0.628 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;

  • (iii) a discount of approximately 0.2% to the average of the closing prices of HK$0.631 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last ten trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day; and

  • (iv) a premium of approximately 170.3% over the audited net asset value per Share as at 30 April 2008 of approximately HK$0.37 per Share.

To evaluate the fairness and reasonableness of the terms of the New Convertible Bonds, we have identified and reviewed, on a best effort basis, a number of transactions involving the issue of convertible bonds/notes at a fixed price by companies listed on the Stock Exchange from 14 February 2008 to 21 April 2008 (the “ Comparable Issues ”), being the two months before the date of entering into the Sale and Purchase Agreement, as summarized below:

We note from the table above that conversion price of the Comparable Issues ranged from a discount of approximately 64.29% to a premium of approximately 110.90% to the respective closing price as at the last trading days prior to the release of the relevant announcements with an average of a premium of approximately 13.62%. The Conversion Price, which represented the closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Last Trading Date, hence falls within the said market range of the Comparable Issues and is therefore in line with normal market practice, we considered that Conversion Price is fair and reasonable and is in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

The New Convertible Bonds have a maturity of five years whereas the terms to maturity of the Comparable Issues ranged from one year to ten years with an average term to maturity of approximately 3.80 years. The term to the maturity of the New Convertible Bonds fall within the said market range and we are of the view that it is in line with the normal market practice.

44

LETTER FROM HANTEC

The interest rates of the Comparable Issues ranged from nil to 6% per annum, with an average of approximately 1.73%. Taken into account the New Convertible Bonds carry no interest, we are of the view that the interest rate of the New Convertible Bonds is fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned and is in the interest of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

According to the analysis as stated above, we are of the view that the basis of determining the terms of the New Convertible Bonds are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned, and the terms of the New Convertible Bonds are on normal commercial terms and are in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

6. Dilution of the shareholding interests in the Company

On the basis that the New Convertible Bonds are fully converted into the Conversion Shares within the Conversion Period by the bondholder(s), 3,809,523,809 Conversion Shares will be issued by the Company to the bondholder(s). The 3,809,523,809 Conversion Shares upon the exercise in full of the conversion rights attaching to the New Convertible Bonds represent approximately (i) 5.5 times of the existing issued share capital of the Company; and (ii) 38.9% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the exercise in full of the conversion rights attaching to the New Convertible Bonds and the Existing Convertible Bonds.

Set out below is the shareholding structure of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, and for illustrative purpose, the effects on the shareholding structure of the Company assuming full conversion of the New Convertible Bonds:

LETTER FROM HANTEC

Notes:

  • (1) Golden Mount Limited is owned by Mr. Chim Pui Chung who is the father of Mr. Chim Kim Lun, Ricky, a Director.

  • (3) Solidpole Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Everbright Ltd. which is in turn a 55.47% owned subsidiary of Honorich Holdings Ltd.. Honorich Holdings Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Datten Investments Ltd which in turn a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Everbright Holdings Company Ltd.

  • (4) These columns are shown for illustrative purpose only. Pursuant to the terms of the Existing Convertible Bonds and the New Convertible Bonds, the Vendor shall not exercise any right to convert the Existing Convertible Bonds and New Convertible Bonds into the new Shares/ Conversion Shares to the extent that following such exercise, the Vendor, and parties acting in concert with him, taken together, will directly or indirectly, control or be interested in 30% or more of the entire issued Shares or in such lower percentage as may from time to time be specified in the Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers as being the level for triggering a mandatory general offer and no holder of the Existing Convertible Bonds and the New Convertible Bonds shall exercise the conversion right attached to the Existing Convertible Bonds and the New Convertible Bonds held by such holder if immediately after such conversion, the public float of the Shares falls below the minimum public float requirements stipulated under Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules and as required by the Stock Exchange. The Company will comply with the relevant requirements that the Company will maintain the minimum public float requirements as under Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules when the conversion rights attached to the Existing Convertible Bonds and the New Convertible Bonds are exercised.

  • (5) As announced by the Company on 28 May 2008 and 18 June 2008, conversion rights attaching to the Tranche 1 Bonds in the aggregate amount of HK$47,000,000 and HK$38,000,000 were exercised by the holder of Tranche 1 Bonds at the conversion price of HK$0.40 respectively, resulting in the allotment and issue of 117,500,000 and 95,000,000 Shares respectively. After the above conversion, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Tranche 1 Bonds is HK$1,015,000,000. Assuming full conversion of the outstanding principal amount of the Tranche 1 Bonds of HK$1,015,000,000, 2,537,500,000 Shares will be issued by the Company to the bondholder(s).

As shown in the above table, the shareholding interests of the public Shareholders in the Company will be substantially diluted from approximately 73.85% as at the Latest Practicable Date to 5.20% assuming full conversion of the outstanding amount of the Tranche 1 bonds and the Tranche 2 Bonds and the New Convertible Bonds representing a decrease of approximately 68.65%. After taking into account that (i) the terms (including the Acquisition Price and the Conversion Price) of the Sales and Purchase Agreement were fairly and reasonably set, (ii) the Acquisition will enable the Group to have synergy to trading of coke and the Coal-related Ancillary Businesses upon completion of the Second Previous Acquisition, (iii) the Acquisition is in line with the Group’s development strategy of diversification into the prosperous coal business, (iv) the Acquisition is expected to strengthen the Group’s earnings base with respect to the historical profitability of the business attributable to the Coal Processing Assets of the Golden Rock, and (v) it may be very difficult for the Group to use other fund raising exercises such as rights issue or open offer in light of the significant amount of the funds required for the Acquisition as well as the necessity of the underwriting arrangement to be in place, we are of the view that the dilution effect to the public Shareholders is acceptable.

LETTER FROM HANTEC

7. Financial effects of the Acquisition on the Group

Upon the Completion, the Company will directly and beneficially own 100% of the equity interest in the Target Company and the HK Subsidiary and 91% equity interest in the PRC Subsidiaries. According to the accounting policies of the Group, the Target Group will be treated as indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and its financial results will be consolidated into the Group.

(i) Earnings

The Group recorded an audited consolidated loss attributable to the equity holders of the Company of approximately HK$42.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2007. According to the unaudited pro forma financial information on the Enlarged Group set out in Appendix III to the Circular, the unaudited consolidated loss attributable to the equity holders of the Enlarged Group would be approximately HK$81.0 million after the completion of Acquisition and the pro forma basic loss per share will be approximately HK$17.0 cents being the pro forma net loss of the Enlarged Group divided by the total weighted average number of ordinary shares issued. Considering (i) the historical performance of the Coal Processing Assets to be acquired by the PRC Subsidiaries pursuant to the Preliminary Reorganisation Agreement, (ii) the promising Guaranteed 2009 Net Profit as mentioned above, (iii) the Coal Processing Business, being the upstream of the Group’s coke trading business and downstream of the Coal-related Ancillary Business, will enable the Group to complete its coal business operation, and to further diversity into the prosperous coal business and broaden its revenue base, and (iv) the vertical integration of the Coal Processing Business will enable the Group to have synergy to the trading of coke and the Coal-related Ancillary Businesses to be acquired by the Company upon completion of the Previous Acquisitions, we are of the view that the Acquisition will contribute positively to the Group’s financial performance.

(ii) Net assets value

As at 31 December 2007, the audited total assets and net assets of the Group were approximately HK$281.0 million and HK$176.8 million respectively. As set out in the unaudited pro forma balance sheet of the Enlarged Group to the Appendix III of the Circular, the unaudited pro forma total assets of the Enlarged Group would be increased by approximately HK$2,471.5 million to approximately HK$2,752.5 million. Besides, the unaudited pro forma net assets of the Enlarged Group would be increased by approximately HK$629.9 million to HK$806.6 million, representing an increase of approximately 356.3%.

(iii) Gearing

As disclosed in Appendix I, the gearing ratio of the Group (defined as total liabilities over the total assets) as at 31 December 2007 was approximately 37.1%. According to the unaudited pro forma balance sheet of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix III to the Circular, the unaudited pro forma total liabilities and

47

LETTER FROM HANTEC

total assets of the Enlarged Group would be approximately HK$1,945.9 million and HK$2,752.5 million respectively upon Completion. Attributable to the issuance of the New Convertible Bonds, the gearing ratio of the Enlarged Group would be significantly increased to approximately 70.7% upon Completion.

While the gearing ratio of the Enlarged Group would increase significantly as a result of the issue of the New Convertible Bonds, such New Convertible Bonds, which are interest-free and have a maturity of five years, are not expected to have any adverse impact on the cash flow of the Enlarged Group in the near future. On the other hand, the liabilities of the Group would be reduced as a result of any conversion of the Convertible Bonds. Having considered the benefits of improving the net assets of the Enlarged Group attributable to the Shareholders upon completions of the Acquisition and the expected benefits to be brought by the Acquisition as discussed above, we consider that the effect of the Acquisition on the gearing ratio of the Enlarged Group to be acceptable.

8. The Transactions

(i) Background and reasons for the Transactions

On 21 April 2008, Joy Wisdom and Pride Eagle have entered into the Coal Master Supply Agreement and the Coke Master Supply Agreement with the Target Company in relation to the sale and supply of coal and coke products respectively. Given that the Vendor is the sole and ultimate beneficial owner of the Target Group prior to the Completion and is a Director and a director of certain subsidiaries of the Company, each member of the Target Group prior to the Completion is a connected person under the Listing Rules. Therefore, the Coal Master Supply Agreement and the Coal Transactions between Joy Wisdom (and/or its subsidiaries) and the Target Group upon completion of the Reorganisation and the Second Previous Acquisition but before the Completion, and the Coke Master Supply Agreement and Coke Transactions between Pride Eagle (and/or its subsidiaries) and the Target Group upon completion of the Reorganisation and the First Previous Acquisition but before the Completion will constitute continuing connected transactions for the Company under the Listing Rules. The price of the watered or processed coal supplied under the Coal Master Supply Agreement by Joy Wisdom (and/or its subsidiaries) to the Target Company (and/or its subsidiaries) will be (i) not less than the relevant market price; and (ii) not less than the price offered to any third parties by Joy Wisdom and/or its subsidiaries. The price of the coke supplied under the Coke Master Supply Agreement by the Target Company (and/or its subsidiaries) to Pride Eagle (and/or its subsidiaries) will be (i) not more than the relevant market price; and (ii) not higher than the price offered to any third parties by the Target Company and/or its subsidiaries. The other major terms of the Master Supply Agreements have been disclosed in the Letter from the Board.

48

LETTER FROM HANTEC

As to date and prior to completion of the acquisition of the Coal-related Ancillary Businesses by Huscoke Investment (which is currently 100% beneficially owned by the Vendor) through its subsidiary in the PRC and the Reorganisation, (i) the Coal-related Ancillary Businesses and the Coal Processing Assets are both owned by Golden Rock; (ii) Golden Rock has used the watered or processed coal processed by itself for the processing of coke and (iii) Golden Rock has been selling coke to Huscoke International since 2007. Upon completion of the acquisition of the Coalrelated Ancillary Businesses by Huscoke Investment but before completion of the Second Previous Acquisition, the Coal-related Ancillary Businesses will be owned by the Vendor through Huscoke International and its subsidiary in the PRC. Upon completion of the Reorganisation but before the Completion, the Coal Processing Business will be owned by the Target Group.

The completion of the First Previous Acquisition took place on 16 May 2008. Save for any unforeseen reasons, the Directors expected that the Second Previous Acquisition would be taken place in one or two months’ time.

As the Group started to engage in trading of coke business and will engage in the Coal-related Ancillary Business after completion of the Second Previous Acquisition, the Transactions are consistent with the past business dealings of Golden Rock before completion of the above mentioned Reorganisation and acquisitions.

As set out in the Letter from the Board, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors after considering the advice from Hantec) consider that the terms and conditions of the Master Supply Agreements (including the cap amounts) are fair and reasonable and it is in the best interest of the Group to engage in the Transactions as they will facilitate the new businesses (namely, the Coal-related Ancillary Businesses and trading of coke) of the Group.

In view of the above, in particular that (i) the Transactions are entered into on normal commercial terms and in the ordinary and usual course of the Group’s business which the price of the watered or processed coal supplied under the Coal Master Supply Agreement by Joy Wisdom (and/or its subsidiaries) to the Target Company (and/or its subsidiaries) will be (a) not less than the relevant market price; and (b) not less than the price offered to any third parties by Joy Wisdom and/or its subsidiaries and the price of the coke supplied under the Coke Master Supply Agreement by the Target Company (and/or its subsidiaries) to Pride Eagle (and/or its subsidiaries) will be (a) not more than the relevant market price; and (b) not higher than the price offered to any third parties by the Target Company and/or its subsidiaries, (ii) it is in the interest of the Group as engaging in the said Transactions will facilitate the new businesses namely, the Coal-related Ancillary Businesses upon completion of the Second previous Acquisition and the trading of coke, and (iii) the continuing connected transactions in relation to the Transactions will cease upon Completion as Joy Wisdom, Pride Eagle and the Target Company will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, we therefore consider that the entering into the continuing connected transactions in relation to the Transactions is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

49

LETTER FROM HANTEC

(ii) Cap amounts

The Directors have proposed the cap amounts for the two-month period after conditions precedent for the Master Supply Agreements are fulfilled for the continuing connected transactions of HK$300 million for the sale of watered/ processed coal under the Coal Master Supply Agreement and HK$350 million for the sale of coke under the Coke Master Supply Agreement respectively.

As set out in the Letter from the Board, the cap amounts are determined by reference to the maximum production capacity (i.e. approximately 66,000 tons of coke per month) of the Coal Processing Assets and the current market price of the watered or processed coal and the coke of RMB1,500 per ton and RMB2,400 per ton, respectively.

Having considered that (i) the continuing connected transactions in relation to the Transactions are expected to be entered into for only two-month period and will cease upon Completion, (ii) the cap amounts are determined with reference to the maximum production capacity of approximately 66,000 tons of coke per month and the relevant market price of the watered or processed coal and the coke, (iii) the Master Supply Agreements can provide flexibility to the development of the Group’s new businesses of the Coal-related Ancillary Businesses upon completion of the Second Previous Acquisition and the trading of coke, and (iv) the pricing under the Master Supply Agreements is no less favourable than the rates the Group can obtain from or offer to the independent third parties, we are of the view that the cap amounts are fair and reasonable and the continuing connected transactions in relation to the Transactions are entered into commercial and usual course of business and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

RECOMMENDATION

Having taken into account the principal factors and reasons referred to the above, we are of the opinion that the Acquisition, the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the continuing connected transactions in relation to the Transactions are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. We also consider that the Acquisition and the Transactions are on normal commercial terms and is in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company. We therefore advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Acquisition and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of Hantec Capital Limited Robert Siu

Director

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For The Year Ended 31st December, 2007

1. GENERAL

The Company was incorporated in Bermuda as an exempted company with limited liability and its shares are listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”).

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars, which is the same as the functional currency of the Company.

The Company is an investment holding company. Its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of a diversified range of consumer home products.

2. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“HKFRS(s)”)

In the current year, the Group has applied, for the first time, the following new standard, amendment and interpretations (“New HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”), which are effective for the Group’s financial year beginning 1st January, 2007.

HKAS 1 (Amendment) Capital disclosures
HKFRS 7 Financial instruments: Disclosures
HK(IFRIC)-INT 7 Applying the restatement approach under HKAS 29
Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies
HK(IFRIC)-INT 8 Scope of HKFRS 2
HK(IFRIC)-INT 9 Reassessment of embedded derivatives
HK(IFRIC)-INT 10 Interim financial reporting and impairment

The adoption of these New HKFRSs had no material effect on how the results and financial position of the Group for the current or prior accounting periods have been prepared and presented. Accordingly, no prior period adjustment has been required.

The Group has applied the disclosure requirements under HKAS 1 (Amendment) and HKFRS 7 retrospectively. Certain information presented in prior year under the requirements of HKAS 32 has been removed and the relevant comparative information based on the requirements of HKAS 1 (Amendment) and HKFRS 7 has been presented for the first time in the current year.

The Group has not early applied the following new and revised standards, amendment and interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective.

HKAS 1 (Revised) Presentation of financial statements1
HKAS 23 (Revised) Borrowing costs1
HKAS 27 (Revised) Consolidated and separate financial statements2
HKFRS 2 (Amendment) Vesting conditions and cancellations1

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

The Group has commenced considering the potential impact of these new HKFRSs but is not yet in a position to determine whether these HKFRSs would have a significant impact on how its results of operations and financial position are prepared and presented. These HKFRSs may result in changes in the futures as to how the results and financial position are prepared and presented.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies set out below.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by the HKICPA. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the consolidated financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

Minority interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are presented separately from the Group’s equity therein. Minority interests in the net assets consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the minority’s share of changes in equity since the date of the combination. Losses applicable to the minority in excess of the minority’s interest in the subsidiary’s equity are allocated against the interests of the Group except to the extent that the minority has a binding obligation and is able to make an additional investment to cover the losses.

On acquisition of additional interest in subsidiaries, goodwill was calculated as the difference between the consideration paid for the additional interest and the carrying amount of the net assets of the subsidiaries attributable to the additional interest acquired. If the Group’s additional interest in the net assets of the subsidiaries exceeds the consideration paid for the additional interest, the excess is recognised in the consolidated income statement.

Business Combination

The acquisition of business is accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of the acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under HKFRS 3 Business Combinations are recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date.

I-8

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised as an asset and initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised. If, after reassessment, the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceeds the cost of the business combination, the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

The interest of minority shareholders in the acquiree is initially measured at the minority’s proportion of the net fair value of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised.

Investment in an associate

An associate is an entity over which the investor has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture.

The results and assets and liabilities of associate are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investment in an associate is carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost as adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of the net assets of the associate, less any identified impairment loss. When the Group’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the associate), the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. An additional share of losses is provided for and a liability is recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of that associate.

Where a group entity transacts with an associate of the Group, profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the relevant associate.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods sold and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts.

Sales of goods are recognised when goods are delivered and title has passed.

Service income are recognised when services are provided.

Interest income from a financial asset is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment including land and buildings held for use on the production or supply of goods and services, or for administrative purposes are stated at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives and after taking into account of their estimated residual value, using the straight-line method.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the income statement in the year in which the item is derecognised.

I-9

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

Leasing

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to enter into an operating lease are recognised as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straightline basis.

Leasehold land and building

The land and building elements of a lease of land and building are considered separately for the purpose of lease classification, leasehold land which title is not expected to pass to the lessee by the end of the lease term is classified as an operating lease unless the lease payments cannot be allocated reliably between the land and building elements, in which case, the entire lease is classified as a finance lease.

Foreign currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are recorded in the respective functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates) at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the date when fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they arise. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period except for differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised directly in equity, in which cases, the exchange differences are also recognised directly in equity.

For the purposes of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s operations outside Hong Kong are translated into the presentation currency of the Group (i.e. Hong Kong dollars) at the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date, and their income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the year, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during the year, in which case, the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised as a separate component of equity (the translation reserve). Such exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which the foreign operation is disposed of.

Retirement benefit costs

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans, the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme and the state-managed retirement benefit schemes, are charged as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

For defined benefit retirement benefit plan, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method. Past service cost is recognised immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested.

The amount recognised in the consolidated balance sheet represents the fair value of plan assets, reduced by the present value of the defined benefit obligation. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of available refunds.

I-10

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised as and included in finance costs in the consolidated income statement in the period in which they are incurred.

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax base used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited to profit or loss, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated using the weighted average method.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

I-11

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

Financial assets

The Group’s financial assets are classified into one of the three categories, including investments held for trading, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

Investments held for trading

A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:

  • it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near future; or

  • it is a part of an identified portfolio of financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or

  • it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised directly in profit or loss in the year in which they arise. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss excludes any dividend or interest earned on the financial assets.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including debtors, bill receivables, bank balances and bank deposits) are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses (see accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below).

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees on points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated or not classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investments. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognised in equity, until the financial asset is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, at which time, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity is removed from equity and recognised in profit or loss (see accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below).

I-12

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than investments held for trading, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each balance sheet date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have been impacted.

For all loans and receivables and available-for-sale debt investment, objective evidence of impairment could include:

  • significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or

  • default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or

  • it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation.

For certain categories of financial asset, such as debtors, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the credit period of 90 days, observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of debtors, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss. When a debtor is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to profit or loss.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment losses was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

For available-for-sale debt investments, impairment losses are subsequently reversed if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss.

Financial liabilities and equity

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the group after deducting all of its liabilities. The accounting policies adopted in respect of financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.

I-13

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities including creditors, bills payable, amount due to an associate and bank borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Interest expense is recognised on an effective interest basis.

Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire or, the financial assets are transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised directly in equity is recognised in profit or loss. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial assets and recognise a collateralised borrowing for proceeds received.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment losses

At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount under another standard, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease under that standard.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount under another standard, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase under that standard.

4. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders through the optimisation of the equity balance. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from prior year.

The capital structure of the Group consists of net debt, which includes the borrowings disclosed in note 24, net of cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the Company, comprising issued share capital and reserves. The directors of the Company review the capital structure on a continuous basis. As part of this review, the directors consider the cost of capital and the risks associates with capital. Based on recommendations of the directors, the Group will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends and issuance of new shares as well as the addition of new borrowings and the repayment of existing borrowings.

Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s major financial instruments include debtors, bills receivable, bank balances and deposits, investments held-for-trading, creditors, bills payable, amount due to an associate and bank borrowings. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

Currency risk

The Group has foreign currency sales and purchases, denominated in currencies other than the Group’s functional currency which exposed itself to foreign currency risk. Approximately 84%, 91% and 20% (2006: 80%, 62% and 17%) of the Group’s sales, purchases and other cost of sales are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective group entities. In addition, certain debtors, bills receivable, bank deposits, bank balances, creditors, bills payable and bank borrowings are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective group entities. The Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy. However, the management monitors foreign exchange exposure and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.

The directors of the Company expect the foreign exchange exposure on US$ against Hong Kong dollars to be minimal because Hong Kong dollars are pegged with US$.

Sensitivity analysis

The Group is mainly exposed to AUD, NZD and RMB against Hong Kong dollars.

The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in Hong Kong dollars against foreign currencies. 5% is the sensitivity rate used which represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the year end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates a decrease in loss for the year (2006: an increase in profit for the year) where Hong Kong dollars weaken 5% against the relevant currencies. For a 5% strengthening of Hong Kong dollars against the relevant currencies, there would be an equal and opposite impact on the loss for the year (2006: profit for the year).

The Group’s fair value interest rate risk relates primarily to short term pledged bank deposit. The Group is also exposed to cash flow interest rate risk through the impact of rate changes on interest bearing financial assets and financial liabilities at variable rate. Interest bearing financial assets are mainly deposits with banks. Interest bearing financial liabilities are mainly bank borrowings. It is the Group’s policy to keep its borrowings at floating rate of interests so as to minimise the fair value interest rate risk. The Group has not used any interest rate swaps to mitigate its exposure associated with fluctuations relating to interest cash flows.

I-16

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

The Group currently does not have interest rate hedging policy. However, the management monitors interest rate exposure and will consider hedging significant interest rate exposure should the need arise.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the exposure to interest rates for the non-derivative instruments at the balance sheet date. For variable-rate bank deposits and borrowings, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of asset and liability outstanding at the balance sheet date was outstanding for the whole year. A 50 basis point increase or decrease represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s loss for the year would decrease/increase by HK$136,830 (2006: the Group’s profit for the year would decrease/increase by HK$152,620). This is mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable-rate bank deposits and bank borrowings.

Credit risk

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in the event of the counterparties failure to perform their obligations as at 31st December, 2007 and 2006 in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as stated in the consolidated balance sheet. In order to minimise the credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. The management closely monitors the subsequent settlement of the debts and does not grant long credit period to customers. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debtors at each balance sheet date to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of the Company consider that the Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk on trade debtors, with exposure spread over a number of counterparties and customers.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high creditratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

Liquidity risk

In the management of the liquidity risk, the Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The management monitors the utilisation of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants.

The Group relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As at 31st December, 2007, the Group has available unutilised short-term bank loan facilities of approximately HK$203,000,000 (2006: HK$253,000,000). Details of the Group’s borrowings at 31st December, 2007 are set out in note 24.

The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities. For non-derivative financial liabilities, the table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

Fair value

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:

  • the fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis using prices from observable current market transactions; and

  • the fair value of available-for-sale investments is determined by reference to the bid price quoted in a second hand market. The fair value of investments held for trading is determined based on the quoted market bid prices available on the relevant exchange or based on the relevant price quoted from the brokers.

The directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values.

The contributions are charged to the income statement as incurred.

The relevant PRC subsidiaries are required to make contributions to the state requirement schemes in the PRC based on 3% to 4% of the monthly salaries of their current employees to fund the benefits. The employees are entitled to retirement pension calculated with reference to their basic salaries on retirement and their length of service in accordance with the relevant government regulations. The PRC government is responsible for the pension liability to these retired staff.

The total cost charged to income statement of HK$3,633,099 (2006: HK$3,447,479) represents contributions payable to the schemes by the Group at rates specified in the rules of the schemes.

North American sales, as a percentage of turnover increased by 1.77% to 34.38% amounting to approximately HK$220,249,000 (2006: 32.61% amounting to HK$233,107,000). South American sales slightly increased to 0.64% amounting to approximately HK$4,143,000 (2006: 0.53% amounting to HK$3,811,000).

Product sales in the Hong Kong market constituted 3.39% of the turnover amounting to approximately HK$21,713,000 (2006: 5.17% amounting to HK$36,937,000).

Gross Profit

The Group’s gross profit margin was 3.86% (2006: 9.69%), a decrease of 583 basis points from 2006. Management continues to work on margin improvement, mainly by offering meaningfully differentiated and high value-added products and reducing cost of goods through better sources and cost control.

Product Categories

Sales of the major products out of the Group’s turnover in 2007 were 25.60% for paper products (2006: 25.65%), 32.66% for wooden products (2006: 31.93%) and 41.74% for household items, home textiles products and tablemats (2006: 42.42%).

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

Exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates and related hedges

All transactions of the Group are denominated in Hong Kong dollars, United States dollars and Renminbi. Transactions in foreign currency are translated at the rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions or at the contracted settlement rate. The exchange rates between these currencies were stable during the year under review, save in respect of the gradual appreciation of Renminbi against US dollars and Hong Kong dollars. No hedging for foreign exchange was used given the Group’s exposure to currency fluctuation was still relatively limited.

Liquidity and financial resources

Net current assets and current ratio were approximately HK$88,770,000 and 1.53: 1 as at 31st December, 2006 and approximately HK$101,220,000 and 1.99:1 as at 31st December, 2007. The increase in net current assets is largely due to a decrease in bank borrowings and proceeds from disposal of properties. Raw material, workin-progress and finished goods decreased by 34.16% to approximately HK$44,482,000 (2006: HK$67,563,000).

As at 31st December, 2007, the Group’s bank balances and cash amounted to approximately HK$85,090,000 (2006: HK$81,424,000) and bank borrowings amounted to approximately HK$36,322,000 (2006: HK$70,029,000). Therefore, the calculation of net debt to equity ratio was not applicable because the Group had surplus cash of approximately HK$48,768,000 over bank borrowings (2006: HK$11,395,000).

The gearing ratio (defined as total liabilities over the total assets) of the Group as at 31st December, 2007 was approximately 37.09% (2006: 43.59%)

The Group generally finances its business with internally generated cash flows and revolving credit facilities provided by the Group’s principal bankers. With net current assets of approximately HK$101,220,000, the management believes that the Group has sufficient financial resources to discharge its debts and to finance its daily operations and capital expenditure.

Employees and remuneration

The approximate number of employees of the Group as at 31st December, 2007 and 31st December, 2006 were 2,700 and 4,500 respectively with a seasonal high figure of more than 3,600 during the third quarter of 2007. Fewer than 100 staff are stationed in Hong Kong and the rest are PRC workers.

Employees are remunerated according to the nature of the job and market trends, with a built-in merit component incorporated in the annual increment and a year-end performance bonus to reward and motivate individual performance. There was no share option granted to any employee during the year.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE ACQUIRED PLANTS AND MACHINERIES

For the purpose of this report, we have reviewed the Financial Information in accordance with the relevant requirements of Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2400 “Engagements to Review Financial Statements” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”). This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the Financial Information is free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provide less assurance than an audit. We have agreed the Financial Information to the underlying books and records. In the opinion of the Directors, the Financial Information has been properly compiled and derived from the underlying books and records of the Acquired Plants and Machineries. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the Financial Information. It is our responsibility to review the Financial Information and to report our review conclusion to you.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Financial Information is not properly prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of presentation as set out in Section 1.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, the Acquired Plants and Machineries comprised of plants and machineries for the production of coke and the coal-processing chemical by-products. The Acquired Plants and Machineries are currently owned by Golden Rock.

The Financial Information of the Acquired Plants and Machineries is prepared based on the management accounts of Golden Rock on a continuing basis as if the Acquired Plants and Machineries have been under the same ownership with effect from 1 January 2005.

For the purpose of inclusion in the Financial Information, the financial information on the operating results of the Acquired Plants and Machineries has been extracted from the management accounts of Golden Rock. The Financial Information only includes income and expenses which are directly attributable to the operation of the Acquired Plants and Machineries, such as sales of products and operating costs for the Acquired Plants and Machineries. Indirect income and expenses such as general and administrative expenses, finance costs for working capital and non-operating income and expenses, have not been included. Income tax has not been included as it is calculated and levied on an entity level. The Financial Information of the Acquired Plants and Machineries has been adjusted to comply with the accounting policies as disclosed in Section 2 which are in compliance with HK GAAP.

The Financial Information does not necessarily reflect the results of operations of the Acquired Plants and Machineries that would have been recorded had they been operated under a stand-alone entity during the Relevant Period because they have historically been operated by Golden Rock and indirect income and expenses and income tax have not been considered.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation

The Financial Information of the Acquired Plants and Machineries has been prepared in accordance with accounting policies which are in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong (“HKGAAP”). The Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Plants and Machineries

Plants and Machineries are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of items of plants and machineries over their estimated useful lives and after taking into account of their estimated residual value, using the reducing balance method.

An item of plants and machineries is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the income statement in the year/period in which the item is derecognised.

Impairment losses

At each balance sheet date, the carrying amounts of the plants and machineries were reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods sold and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts. Sales of goods are recognised when goods are delivered and title has passed.

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE ACQUIRED PLANTS AND MACHINERIES

Foreign currencies

The Financial Information of the Acquired Plants and Machineries is stated in Renminbi (“RMB”).

Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the applicable exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates.

On combination, the income statements of those Acquired Plants and Machineries which are denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Renminbi, at the weighted average rates for the year, for inclusion in the Financial Information.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when a present legal or constructive obligation has arisen as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligations, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of a provision is the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligations.

Estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are discussed below.

  • (a) Impairment of assets

Impairment tests are carried out annually to determine whether the assets have suffered any impairment. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash generating unit is determining based on value-in-use calculations which require the use of assumptions and estimates.

  • (b) Useful lives of plants and machineries

In accordance with HKAS 16, the useful lives of the plants and machineries are estimated in order to determine the amount of depreciation expenses to be recorded. The useful lives are estimated at the time the asset is acquired based on historical experience, the expected usage, wear and tear of the assets, as well as technical obsolescence arising from changes in the market demands or service output of the assets. Annual reviews on whether the assumptions made on useful lives continue to be valid are performed.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Enlarged Group is prepared based on the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Group as at 31 December 2007 as set out in Appendix I to the Circular, after making pro forma adjustments relating to the Acquisition that are (i) directly attributable to the transaction; and (ii) factually supportable.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated income statement is prepared based on the audited consolidated income statement of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2007 as set out in Appendix I to the Circular and the Financial Information of the Acquired Plants and Machineries for the year ended 31 December 2007 as set out in Appendix II to the Circular after translation into Hong Kong dollars at exchange rate of RMB1 = HK$1.0273, after making pro forma adjustments relating to the Acquisition as if the Acquisition had been completed on 1 January 2007.

The financial information of Oden Group Limited (“Oden”) and Huscoke Coal Chemical Group Limited (“Huscoke Coal”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oden (collectively referred to as the “Oden Group”) are not presented in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial information because the directors of the Company consider that the financial information of Oden and Huscoke Coal are not material to the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of Enlarged Group.

APPENDIX III

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE ENLARGED GROUP

  • (III) Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

Under HKFRS 3 Business Combinations (“HKFRS 3”), the Group will apply the purchase method to account for the Acquisition. In applying the purchase method, the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of Oden Group will be recorded on the consolidated balance sheet of the Group at their fair values at the date of completion. In preparing the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the carrying amounts of the Acquired Plants and Machineries were assumed to be significantly, the same as net asset value of Oden Group. Any goodwill or discount arising on the Acquisition will be determined as the excess or deficit of the purchase price to be incurred by the Group over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of Oden Group at the date of completion. Negative goodwill resulting from the business combinations should be recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement.

The adjustments reflected the following:

  1. The total consideration to be settled by Rich Key Enterprises Limited (the “Purchaser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company for the Acquisition is approximately HK$2,400,000,000 which shall be satisfied by issuing the new convertible bonds of HK$2,400,000,000 (the “New Convertible Bonds”) at a conversion price of HK$0.63 per conversion share. The New Convertible Bonds will not accrue any interest with a repayment term of 5 years. The face value of the Convertible Bonds is taken to be the fair value of the Convertible Bonds for the Acquisition.

  2. The pro forma adjustment of approximately HK$794,475,000 represented the fair value of the Acquired Plants and Machineries obtained upon completion of the Acquisition. Details are set out as follows:

Market value as per valuation report, in RMB RMB742,500,000 Exchange rate used in conversion as at 31 December 2007 1.07 Market value as per valuation report, in HKD HK$794,475,000

  1. Goodwill of approximately HK$1,677,028,000 arising from the Acquisition was derived from the assumed fair value of total consideration of HK$2,400,000,000 less net assets of Oden Group as at 31 December 2007.

Pursuant to HKFRS 3, HKAS 36 Impairment of Assets, goodwill should be tested annually for impairment, as well as when there is indication of impairment.

III-9

APPENDIX III

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE ENLARGED GROUP

Goodwill of approximately HK$1,677,028,000 arising from the Acquisition are derived from calculation as follows:

Total consideration for the Acquisition
Less: Net assets of 91% equity interest in Oden
Group as at 31 December 2007_(Note)_
Goodwill arising from the Acquisition
HK$’000
2,400,000
722,972
1,677,028
  • Note : Net assets value at 91% equity interest in Oden Group was assumed to be materially equivalent to the fair value of the Acquired Plants and Machineries as mentioned in note 2.

  • In accordance with HKAS 32 “Financial Instrument: Disclosure and Presentation”, convertible bonds should be separated as liability component and equity component. In preparing the unaudited pro forma financial information, the face value of HK$2,400,000,000 has been taken to be its fair value as if it was issued on 31 December 2007. The adjustment of the New Convertible Bonds of approximately HK$1,731,298,000 in the pro forma consolidated balance sheet represented the liability component of New Convertible Bonds based on the discounted cash flows method. The Company has taken the prime rate of 6.75% p.a. as at 31 December 2007 as the discount rate for the calculation of the liability component of New Convertible Bonds.

  • The pro forma adjustment of approximately HK$110,336,000 represented the deferred tax liabilities arising from New Convertible Bonds as at 31 December 2007.

  • The pro forma adjustment of reserves of approximately HK$558,366,000 represented the equity component of New Convertible Bonds of approximately HK$558,366,000. For further details of the liability component of New Convertible Bonds and deferred tax liabilities arising from the New Convertible Bonds, please refer to note 4 and 5 respectively.

  • The pro forma adjustment of approximately HK$71,503,000 represented 9% minority interest of a PRC subsidiary which will be held by 孝義市 金岩電力煤化工有限公司 (Xiaoyi City Golden Rock Electricity Coal Chemical Company Limited) (“Golden Rock”).

  • The pro forma adjustment of approximately HK$23,403,000 represented the adjustment on depreciation charges included in cost of sales for the year ended 31 December 2007 on the Acquired Plants and Machineries

in response to note 2. The Acquired Plants and Machineries are depreciated at the following rates per annum, which set out as below:

Buildings: Over the term of the lease Property, plant and equipment: Reducing balance method at 10%

  1. The pro forma adjustment of approximately HK$128,064,000 represented the imputed interest expenses for New Convertible Bonds for the year ended 31 December 2007. The Company has taken the prime rate of 7.75% p.a. as at 1 January 2007 for the calculation of the imputed interest expenses based on the discount cash flow method on the liability component of New Convertible Bonds.

  2. The pro forma adjustment of approximately HK$15,737,000 represented the net effect of the following adjustments for the year ended 31 December 2007.

APPENDIX III

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE ENLARGED GROUP

  1. The calculation of pro forma basic loss per share is based on the Enlarged Group’s pro forma net loss attributable to the equity holders of the Company of HK$80,997,000 and the number of ordinary shares of 477,926,000 of the Enlarged Group upon the completion of the Acquisition.

The pro forma basic loss per share is also calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, as there were no changes on the share capital during the period. Therefore, the weighted average number of shares is equal to the number of ordinary shares.

Pro forma basic and diluted loss per share were presented in a single line because the conversion of the New Convertible Bonds was antidilutive while its conversion would increase the pro forma loss per share.

APPENDIX IV FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON HUSCOKE GROUP

Notes to the Financial Information

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Huscoke was incorporated in Hong Kong on 26 January 2005 with limited liability. The address of registered office of Huscoke is at Unit 1615, 16/F., Tower 2, Lippo Centre, 89 Queensway, Hong Kong. The principal activity of Huscoke is trading of coke business.

The Financial Information is presented in Hong Kong dollars, which is the functional currency of Huscoke Group.

2. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“HKFRSs”)

The following new standards, amendment to standards and interpretations that have been issued but are effective for the accounting periods commencing on 1 January 2007 have not been early adopted:

HKAS 1 (Revised) Presentation of Financial Statements[1] HKAS 23 (Revised) Borrowing Costs[1] HKFRS 8 Operating Segments[1] HK(IFRIC)-Int 11 HKFRS 2 – Group and Treasury Share Transactions[2] HK(IFRIC)-Int 12 Service Concession Arrangements[3] HK(IFRIC)-Int 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes[4] HK(IFRIC)-Int 14 HKAS 19 – The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction[3]

  • 1 Effective for annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2009.

  • 2 Effective for annual period beginning on or after 1 March 2007. 3 Effective for annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2008. 4 Effective for annual period beginning on or after 1 July 2008.

The directors of Huscoke anticipate that the application of these standards, amendments or interpretations will have no material impact on the results and financial position of the Huscoke Group.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Financial Information have been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs (which also include Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”) and Interpretations) issued by the HKICPA, accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong. The Financial Information is presented in Hong Kong dollars, which is the functional currency of Huscoke Group and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (HK$’000) except otherwise stated.

At 31 December 2005, 2006 and 2007, Huscoke had net liabilities of approximately HK$717,000, HK$3,635,000 and HK$15,634,000 respectively. The shareholder of Huscoke, has confirmed that, it is their intention to provide continuing financial support to Huscoke, subject to the condition that the relationship between the directors and Huscoke does not change, so as to enable it to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due and to continue its business for the foreseeable future. The directors believe that Huscoke will continue as going concern. Consequently, the Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis.

The preparation of Financial Information in conformity with HKFRSs requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing

IV-8

APPENDIX IV FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON HUSCOKE GROUP

basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Judgments made by management in the application of HKFRSs that have significant effect on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustments in the next year are discussed in Note 5 to the Financial Information.

A summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Huscoke Group in the preparation of the Financial Information is set out below:

Basis of preparation

The measurement basis used in the preparation of the Financial Information is historical cost except for certain financial assets and financial liabilities which have been carried at fair value as explained below.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of Huscoke Group. Control is achieved where Huscoke has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the consolidated financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Huscoke Group. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

On acquisition of additional interest in subsidiaries, goodwill was calculated as the difference between the consideration paid for the additional interest and the carrying amount of the net assets of the subsidiaries attributable to the additional interest acquired. If the Huscoke Group’s additional interest in the net assets of the subsidiaries exceeds the consideration paid for the additional interest, the excess is recognised in the consolidated income statement.

Business combinations

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of the acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Huscoke Group in exchange for control of the acquiree, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under HKFRS 3 Business Combinations are recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date.

Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised as an asset and initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Huscoke Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised. If, after reassessment, the Huscoke Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceeds the cost of the business combination, the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

IV-9

APPENDIX IV FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON HUSCOKE GROUP

Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives and after taking into account of their estimated residual value, using the straight-line method.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the income statement in the year/ period in which the item is derecognised.

Leasehold land and building

The land and building elements of a lease of land and building are considered separately for the purpose of lease classification, leasehold land which title is not expected to pass to the lessee by the end of the lease term is classified as an operating lease unless the lease payments cannot be allocated reliably between the land and building elements, in which case, the entire lease is classified as a finance lease.

Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation. On initial recognition, investment properties are measured at cost, including any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at their fair values using the fair value model. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment property are included in profit or loss for the period in which they arise.

An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposals. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the consolidated income statement in the year in which the item is derecognised.

Leasing

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Rentals income from operating leases is recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other shortterm highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods sold and services provided in the normal course of business, net of trade discounts.

Sales of goods are recognised when goods are delivered and title has passed.

Service income are recognised when services are provided.

IV-10

APPENDIX IV FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON HUSCOKE GROUP

Interest income from a financial asset is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount.

Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised as and included in finance costs in the consolidated income statement in the period in which they are incurred.

Foreign currencies

In preparing the consolidated financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are recorded in the respective functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates) at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they arise, except for exchange differences arising on a monetary item that forms part of the Huscoke’s net investment in a foreign operation, in which case, such exchange differences are recognised in equity in the consolidated financials statements.

For the purposes of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Huscoke Group’s foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Huscoke Group (i.e. Hong Kong dollars) at the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date, and their income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the year, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during the year, in which case, the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised as a separate component of equity (the translation reserve). Such exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which the foreign operation is disposed of.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet when an entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Financial assets

The Group’s financial assets are classified into one of the three categories, including financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace. The accounting policies adopted in respect of each category of financial assets are set out below.

IV-11

APPENDIX IV FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON HUSCOKE GROUP

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss represent financial assets held for trading. The Huscoke Group classified certain financial assets as investments held for trading. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised directly in profit or loss in the year in which they arise.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including debtors, bill receivables, bank balances and bank deposits) are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the asset’s recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to a restriction that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated or not classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investments. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognised in equity, until the financial asset is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, at which time, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity is removed from equity and recognised in profit or loss. Any impairment losses on available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in profit or loss. For available-for-sale debt investments, impairment losses are subsequently reversed if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss.

Financial liabilities and equity

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the group after deducting all of its liabilities. The accounting policies adopted in respect of financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities including creditors, bills payable, amount due to an associate and bank borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

IV-12

APPENDIX IV FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON HUSCOKE GROUP

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire or, the financial assets are transferred and the Huscoke Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised directly in equity is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss.

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. Huscoke Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Financial Information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill (or negative goodwill) or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where Huscoke Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited to profit or loss, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to entity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

Retirement benefit costs

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans, the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme and the state-managed retirement benefit schemes, are charged as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

IV-13

APPENDIX IV FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON HUSCOKE GROUP

Related party transactions

Parties are considered to be related to Huscoke Group if:

  • (a) the party, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, (i) controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, Huscoke Group; (ii) has an interest in Huscoke Group that gives it significant influence over Huscoke Group; (iii) has joint control over Huscoke Group;

  • (b) the party is an associate;

  • (c) the party is a jointly-controlled entity;

  • (d) the party is a member of the key management personnel of Huscoke Group or its parent;

  • (e) the party is a close member of the family of any individual referred to in (a) or (d);

  • (f) the party is an entity that is controlled, joint-controlled or significantly influenced by or for which significant voting power in such entity resides with, directly or indirectly, any individual referred to in (d) or (e); or

  • (g) the party is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of the employees of Huscoke Group, of any entity that is related party of Huscoke Group.

A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction where there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when Huscoke Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligations, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of a provision is the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligations.

Contingent liabilities and contingent assets

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of Huscoke Group. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised because it is not probable that outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably.

A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the Financial Information. When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that the outflow is probable, it will then be recognised as a provision.

A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of Huscoke Group. A contingent asset is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the Financial Information when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. When inflow is virtually certain, an asset is recognised.

IV-14

APPENDIX IV FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON HUSCOKE GROUP

4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Impairment losses

At each balance sheet date, Huscoke Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

Financial risk management objectives and policies

Huscoke Group’s activities exposes it a variety of financial risks: credit risk, foreign exchange risk, liquidity risk and cash flow and fair value interest-rate risk. Huscoke Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on Huscoke Group’s financial performances.

(i) Credit risk

Huscoke Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in the event of the counterparties failure to perform their obligations as at the consolidated balance date in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

In order to minimise the credit risk, Huscoke Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual counterparty at each balance sheet date to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts.

(ii) Foreign exchange risk

Huscoke Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the Hong Kong dollar and United States dollar. Foreign exchange risk mainly arises from normal commercial transactions. Huscoke Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy. However, the management monitors foreign exchange exposure and will consider hedging significant foreign currency should the need arise.

Sensitivity analysis

Huscoke Group is mainly exposed to the effects of fluctuation in United States dollar. Since there is linked currency relationship between Hong Kong dollar and United States dollar, the effects of fluctuation in United States dollar is minimal to Huscoke Group.

(iii) Liquidity risk

Huscoke Group had net current liabilities of approximately HK$7,692,000, HK$11,306,000 and HK$77,620,000 as at 31 December 2005, 2006 and 2007 respectively. These indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about Huscoke Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Huscoke Group manages its liquidity risk by regularly monitoring current and expected liquidity requirements and ensuring sufficient liquid cash and intended lines of funding from major financial institutions to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and long terms.

IV-15

APPENDIX IV FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON HUSCOKE GROUP

  • (iv) Cash flow and fair value interest-rate risk

Huscoke Group is exposed to cash flow and fair value interest-rate risk through the impact of rate changes on interest bearing financial assets and liabilities. Interest bearing financial assets are mainly deposits with banks whereas interest bearing financial liabilities are mainly the bank overdrafts and borrowings. Huscoke Group does not have interest rate hedging policy. However, the management monitors interest rate exposure and will consider hedging significant interest rate exposure should the need arises.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rate for interest bearing borrowing at the balance sheet date. For variable rate borrowings, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of borrowings held at the balance sheet date was held for the whole Relevant Period I. A 50 basis point increase or decrease in prime lending rate is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Huscoke Group’s:

  • loss for the year ended 31 December 2007 would increase/decrease by approximately HK$312,000 (2006: HK$62,000; 2005: HK$67,000). This is mainly attributable to Huscoke Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings; and

  • other equity reserves would not decrease/increase (2006: Nil).

Huscoke Group’s sensitivity to interest rates has increased during the current period mainly due to the increase in carrying amount of borrowings as at the balance sheet date.

Capital risk management

Huscoke Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard Huscoke Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for the shareholder and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, Huscoke Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to the shareholder, return capital to the shareholder, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

Consistent with others in the industry, Huscoke Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including borrowings and bank overdrafts, as shown in the balance sheet) less cash and bank balances. Total capital is calculated as equity, as shown in the balance sheet, plus net debt.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Huscoke Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

(a) Impairment of assets

Huscoke Group tests annually whether the assets have suffered any impairment. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash generating unit is determining based on value-in-use calculations which require the use of assumptions and estimates.

(b) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

In accordance with HKAS 16, Huscoke Group estimates the useful lives of property, plant and equipment in order to determine the amount of depreciation expenses to be recorded. The useful lives are estimated at the time the asset is acquired based on historical experience, the expected usage, wear and tear of the assets, as well as technical obsolescence arising from changes in the market demands or service output of the assets. Huscoke Group also perform annual reviews on whether the assumptions made on useful lives continue to be valid.

(c) Fair value estimation

The carrying amounts of Huscoke Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities, including amounts due from related companies and director, prepayment and other receivables, borrowings, trade and other payables and amounts due to holding company and director, approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. The face values less any credit adjustments for financial liabilities with a maturity of less than one year are assumed to approximate their fair values.

3. UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE ENLARGED GROUP I

Set out below is the unaudited pro forma financial information on the Enlarged Group I as extracted from the circular of the Company dated 20 March 2008. References to page number in this section are to the page numbers of such circular of the Company. The term “Acquisition” used in this section refers to the acquisition of Pride Eagle Group by the Group and the term “Enlarged Group I” used in this section excludes Joy Wisdom Group and Oden Group.

Introduction

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information on the Enlarged Group I has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the First Acquisition.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information on the Enlarged Group I has been prepared in accordance with the Rule 4.29 of the Listing Rules for the purpose of illustrating the effect of the First Acquisition as if the First Acquisition took place on 31 December 2006 for the consolidated balance sheet and on 1 January 2006 for the consolidated income statement and consolidated cash flow statement.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet, unaudited pro forma consolidated income statement and unaudited pro forma cash flow statement of the Enlarged Group I is prepared based on the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Group as at 31 December 2006, the audited consolidated income statement and audited consolidated cash flow statement of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2006 as set out in Appendix I to the Circular, the audited balance sheet of Huscoke International Group Limited, the sole subsidiary of Pride Eagle, (“Huscoke”) and its subsidiary (collectively referred to as the “Huscoke Group”) as at 31 December 2007, the audited consolidated income statement and audited consolidated cash flow statement of Huscoke Group for the year ended 31 December 2007 as set out in Appendix II to the Circular, after making pro forma adjustments relating to the First Acquisition that are (i) directly attributable to the transaction; and (ii) factually supportable.

The financial information of Pride Eagle is not presented in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial information because the directors of the Company consider that the financial information of Pride Eagle is not material to the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group I.

The accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information on the Enlarged Group I has been prepared by the directors of the Company for illustrative purpose only and is based on a number of assumptions, estimates and uncertainties. Accordingly, the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information on the Enlarged Group I does not purport to describe the actual financial position of the Enlarged Group I that would have been attained has the First Acquisition been completed on 31 December 2006 and to describe the actual financial results and cash flows of the Enlarged Group I that would have been attained has the First Acquisition been completed on 1 January 2006, nor purport to predict the Enlarged Group I’s future financial position or results of operations.

APPENDIX IV FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON HUSCOKE GROUP

  • (IV) Notes to The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

Under HKFRS 3 Business Combinations (“HKFRS 3”), the Group will apply the purchase method to account for First Acquisition. In applying the purchase method, the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of Pride Eagle Group will be recorded on the consolidated balance sheet of the Group at their fair values at the date of completion. Any goodwill or discount arising on the acquisition will be determined as the excess or deficit of the purchase price to be incurred by the Group over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of Pride Eagle Group at the date of completion. Negative goodwill resulting from the business combinations should be recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement.

The adjustment reflects the following:

  1. The total consideration to be settled by Rich Key Enterprises Limited (the “Purchaser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company for the First Acquisition is approximately HK$1,200 million which shall be satisfied by:

  2. (a) Issuing a promissory note (the “Promissory Note I”) or in cash payment (solely at the option of the Purchaser) of HK$100 million to Mr. Wu Jixian (the “Vendor”). In preparing the unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, it is assumed that the Purchaser would choose to settle the consideration by cash.

  3. (b) Issuing of convertible bonds of HK$1,100 million (the “Tranche 1 Bonds) at a conversion price of HK$0.40 per conversion share. Tranche 1 Bonds will not accrue any interest with a repayment term of 5 years.

  4. The pro forma adjustments of approximately HK$4,519,000, HK$18,755,000 and HK$150,000 represented the increase on fair values on property, plant and equipment, prepaid lease payments of non-current portion and current portion, respectively held by Huscoke Group. The fair values of these assets as at 31 December 2007 were determined with reference to valuation as at 31 December 2007 carried out by B.I. Appraisals Limited, an independent qualified valuer not connected to the Group.

  5. Goodwill of approximately HK$1,192,210,000 arising from the acquisition of Pride Eagle Group was derived from the fair values of total consideration less net assets of Pride Eagle Group as at 31 December 2007.

IV-37

APPENDIX IV FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON HUSCOKE GROUP

Pursuant to HKFRS 3, HKAS 36 Impairment of Assets, goodwill should be tested annually for impairment, as well as when there is indication of impairment.

Goodwill of approximately HK$1,192,210,000 arising from the First Acquisition is derived from calculation as follows:

Consideration for the First Acquisition

The Directors Frankie Dominion International Limited Room 4205 Far East Finance Centre 16 Harcourt Road Admiralty Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

  • Re: The fixed assets held by 孝義市金岩電力煤化工有限公司(Xiaoyi City Golden Rock Electricity Coal Chemical Company Limited, hereinafter referred to as “Golden Rock”) and/or its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as “Golden Rock Group”) in its coking plant located at Xiaowu Road, Xiaoyi City, Shanxi Province, the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”)

In accordance with the instructions from Frankie Dominion International Limited (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) for us to assess the market value of the fixed assets (hereinafter referred to as the “Fixed Assets”) in Xiaoyi City, Shanxi Province, which include buildings and structures (hereinafter referred to as the “Buildings”) and machines and equipment (hereinafter referred to as the “Machinery”), and which are exhibited to us as those held by Golden Rock for the business of production of coke and the coal-processing chemical by-products, we confirm that we have carried out inspection, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market value of the Fixed Assets as at 30 April 2008 (hereinafter referred to as the “Date of Valuation”).

It is our understanding that this valuation document is to be used for disclosure purpose in relation to the proposed acquisition of the Fixed Assets by the Company and/ or its subsidiaries (hereinafter together referred to as the “Group”).

This letter, forming part of our valuation report, identifies the fixed assets being valued; explains the basis and methodology of our valuation; lists out the assumptions, the title investigation and the limiting conditions made in the course of our valuation; and states our opinion of value.

V-1

APPENDIX V VALUATION REPORT ON THE COAL PROCESSING ASSETS

BASIS OF VALUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS

The objective of our valuation is to provide an independent opinion of the market value of the invested capital by Golden Rock in the Fixed Assets as at the Date of Valuation at ongoing basis.

The market value is defined 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 the Fixed Assets at their existing state for the continuation of the current operations as a going concern business, and both seeking their maximum economic self-interest in arriving at an arm’s-length transaction. The market value in continued existing use is further defined as the market value of an asset based on continuation of its existing use as part of an on-going business, assuming the asset could be sold in the open market for its existing use, and otherwise in keeping with the market value definition regardless of whether or not the existing use represents the highest and best use of the asset.

The opinion of the market value in continued existing use is not necessarily intended to represent the amount that might be realized from piecemeal disposal of the Fixed Assets or from some other alternate uses.

We have valued the Buildings and the Machinery on the basis that each of them is considered individually. Our valuation of the Fixed Assets is the aggregate value of the Buildings and the Machinery and we have not applied any bulk discount.

This investigation is concerned solely with the values of the Fixed Assets. Excluded from this investigation are land, supplies, inventories, materials on hand, spare parts and all other tangible assets of current nature and intangible assets that might exist. Our opinions of value are not related to the earning capacity of the business. It is assumed that prospective earnings are adequate to support the concluded value of the Fixed Assets plus the value of other assets not included in this valuation, and sufficient net working capital. This report does not attempt to arrive at the value of Golden Rock as a total business entity.

Our valuation on the market value of the Fixed Assets has been made on the assumption that the Fixed Assets are sold on the open market without the benefit of a deferred terms contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement that would serve to affect the value of the Fixed Assets. In addition, no account has been taken of any option or right of pre-emption concerning or effecting sales of the Fixed Assets and no forced sale situation in any manner is assumed in our valuation.

V-2

APPENDIX V VALUATION REPORT ON THE COAL PROCESSING ASSETS

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

Other specific assumptions, if any, have been stated in the footnotes of the valuation certificate.

VALUATION METHODOLOGY & PROCEDURES

In assessing the market value of the Buildings, we have adopted the Depreciated Replacement Cost (“DRC”) method. The DRC method is based on an estimate of the cost to reproduce or replace in new conditions the buildings and structures being valued in accordance with current construction costs for similar buildings and structures in the locality, with allowance for accrued depreciation as evidenced by observed condition or obsolescence present, whether arising from physical, functional or economic causes. The DRC method generally furnishes the most reliable indication of value for property in the absence of a known market based on comparable sales.

In arriving at our opinion of the market value of the Machinery, we have considered the three generally accepted methods to value: the Depreciated Replacement Cost Method, Market Comparable Method and Income Capitalization Method. The theory of each of these methods is outlined as follows:

(1) The Depreciated Replacement Cost Method

The Depreciated Replacement Cost Method establishes value based on the cost of reproducing or replacing in new condition the assets appraised in accordance with current market prices for similar assets, with allowance for accrued depreciation arising from condition, utility, age, wear and tear, or physical deterioration and obsolescence present (functional or economic) taking into account past and present maintenance policy and rebuilding history.

Reproduction Cost New is defined as the estimated current cost of reproducing a new replica of an asset with the same or closely similar materials.

Replacement Cost New is defined as the estimated current cost of the new asset having the nearest equivalent utility as the asset being appraised.

Physical Deterioration is the loss in value of an asset from wear and tear of asset in operation and exposure to various elements.

Functional Obsolescence is the loss in value due to factors inherent in the asset itself and changes in design, materials, or process that result in inadequacy, over capacity, excess construction, lack of functional utility or excess operating costs, etc.

V-3

APPENDIX V VALUATION REPORT ON THE COAL PROCESSING ASSETS

Economic Obsolescence is an incurable loss in value caused by unfavorable external conditions.

When market transactions of comparable assets are not available, when data cannot be extrapolated from larger transactions, or when transactions are nonexistent, under premise of continued use and assuming adequate earnings, the Depreciated Replacement Cost Method is the preferred appraisal procedure.

(2) The Market Comparable Method

The Market Comparable Method involves the collection of market data pertaining to the subject assets being appraised. The primary intent of the Market Comparable Method is to determine the desirability of the assets through recent sales or offerings of similar assets currently on the market in order to arrive at an indication of the most probable selling price for the assets being appraised. If the comparable sales are not exactly similar to the asset being appraised, adjustments must be made to bring them as closely in line as possible with the subject asset.

Under the premise of continued use assuming adequate earnings, consideration is given to the cost to acquire similar equipment in the used-equipment market; an allowance then is made to reflect the costs for freight and installation.

(3) The Income Capitalization Method

The Income Capitalization Method considers value in relation to the present worth of future benefits derived from ownership and is usually measured through the capitalization of a specific level of income. This approach is most applicable to investment and general-use properties where there is an established and identifiable rental market.

In any valuation study, all three approaches to value must be considered, as one or more approaches may be applicable to value the subject machinery and equipment. In some situations, elements of two or three approaches may be combined to reach an opinion of value.

In assessing the Machinery, since there is no identified active used-equipment market in the PRC that provides information on recent transactions of comparable items, the Market Comparable Method was not applied. On the other hand, since no identifiable rental income can be attributed to a specific piece of equipment or a group of equipment, the Income Capitalization Method to value was not applied. Therefore, we conclude that the Depreciated Replacement Cost Method is deemed to be the most appropriate method of assessing the Machinery under premise of continued use.

For the assets of standard manufacture, we used current manufacturers’ price lists, price quotations and price catalogs to determine the cost of replacement new. Allowances for freight and installation were sometimes required.

V-4

APPENDIX V VALUATION REPORT ON THE COAL PROCESSING ASSETS

For the assets of special design or fabrication, we used current market price for labor, current market price for materials, manufactured components, design fees, engineering fees and contractors’ overhead, profit and fee to determine the cost of replacement new. Allowances for freight and installation were sometimes required.

Also, we adopted the assets index factor to estimate the cost of reproduction new of special design or fabrication machinery and equipment. An index factor is applied to the historical cost of valued equipment in order to estimate the current cost of the assets being valued.

The deductions for physical deterioration, functional obsolescence, and economic obsolescence have reflected observed condition; past maintenance and rebuilding history, if any; current use; and planned future utilization.

TITLE INVESTIGATION

We have not been provided by the Company with copies of title documents relating to the Buildings. In the course of our valuation, we have relied on the advice given by the Group regarding the title to the Buildings and the legal opinion dated 27 June 2008 prepared by 山西晉義律師事務所 (Shanxi Jin Yi Law Firm), the Group’s legal advisor on PRC law, regarding the title to and the interest of the Group in the Buildings.

We are not able to verify the ownership of the Machinery but we have been provided with copies of receipts regarding some major items of the Machinery. We have assumed no responsibility for the title to the Machinery. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that individual items of the Machinery are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect their values. It is further assumed that there are no hidden or unapparent conditions of the Machinery which would render them more or less valuable.

LIMITING CONDITIONS

Our valuations have been carried out in accordance with The HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (1st Edition 2005) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors and under generally accepted valuation procedures and practices, which are in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

We have carried out inspections of the Fixed Assets in the period from 6 May to 8 May 2008. We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the interior of the Buildings. However, no structural survey has been made nor have any tests been carried out on any of the building services provided in the Buildings. We are, therefore, not able to report that the Buildings is free from rot, infestation or any other structural defects. Yet, in the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects.

V-5

APPENDIX V VALUATION REPORT ON THE COAL PROCESSING ASSETS

We have not conducted detailed on-site measurement to verify the correctness of the floor areas of the Buildings but have assumed that the areas shown on the documents made available to us are correct. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificate attached are based on information contained in the documents provided to us by the Group and are therefore approximations only.

We have relied to a considerable extent on the information and advices made available to us by Golden Rock Group on such matters as planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, tenure, particulars of occupancy, site and floor areas and all other relevant matters in the identification of the Fixed Assets. We have not seen original planning consents and have assumed that the Buildings will be erected, occupied and used in accordance with such consents.

We have personally conducted an ocular physical inspection of the Machinery, investigated market condition, interviewed personnel, and examined documents and specifications provided to us before arriving at our opinion of defined value. At the time of our inspection, the Machinery were observed to be generally in good working condition and properly maintained. Hence, we have assumed that the Machinery can perform efficiently according to the purposes for which it was designed and built.

We have accepted the records of the Machinery furnished to us by Golden Rock Group as properly describing the Machinery, their costs and their acquisition dates. We have relied to a considerable extent on such records, listings, specifications and documents in arriving at our opinion of value.

Any deferred maintenance, physical wear and tear, operating malfunctions, lack of utility, or other observable conditions distinguishing the Machinery from assets of like kind in new condition were noted and made part of our judgment in arriving at the value.

We have not investigated any industrial safety environmental and health-related regulations in association with this particular manufacturing process. It is assumed that all necessary licenses, procedures, and measures were implemented in accordance with the government legislation and guidance.

We have not investigated any financial data pertaining to the present or prospective earning capacity of the operation in which the Machinery is used. It was assumed that prospective earnings would provide a reasonable return on the fair market value of the Machinery, plus the value of any assets not included in this valuation, and adequate net working capital.

This valuation reflects facts and conditions existing at the Date of Valuation. Subsequent events have not been considered and we are not required to update our report for such events and conditions.

FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE GUARANTEED 2009 NET PROFIT

(1) Profit Forecast

The forecast of the profit attributable to Coal Processing Business for the year ending 31 December 2009 is set out for the purposes of “Guaranteed 2009 Net Profit” as mentioned in the section headed “Letter from the Board”.

A. BASES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The directors of the Company have prepared the profit forecast derived from projected sale of coal related products, after minority interests but before tax and before extraordinary or exceptional items of Oden Group Limited and its subsidiaries (the “Target Group”) for the year ending 31 December 2009 based on the actual results of 孝義市金岩 電力煤化工有限公司 (Xiaoyi City Golden Rock Electricity Coal Chemical Company Limited) (“Golden Rock”) for the year ended 31 December 2007.

The profit forecast for the year ending 31 December 2009 has been prepared on a basis consistent in respect with the significant accounting policies as set out in the “Financial information on the Group” as set out in Appendix I to this Circular and on the following assumptions:

1. Principal Assumptions

  • 1.1 Assumption with respect to valuation of the Coal-Processing Assets

Changes in the fair value of the Coal-Processing Assets are dependent on market conditions and other factors that are beyond our control at the relevant time. While we have considered for the purposes of the profit forecast, it is assumed that there will be no impairment loss on the value of the CoalProcessing Assets for the year ending 31 December 2009.

1.2 Assumption with respect to Acquisitions to be completed

It is assumed that the acquisition of the Coal-Processing Assets was completed on 1 January 2008 and the Coal Processing Business began its operation on 1 January 2008. As a result, the profit forecast of the Coal Processing Business would be prepared for the year ending 31 December 2009.

VI-1

APPENDIX VI

FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE GUARANTEED 2009 NET PROFIT

  • 1.3 Assumption with respect to the business structure of the Coal Processing Business

The major customer of Golden Rock is Huscoke International Group Limited (“Huscoke”). Since the Company has acquired Huscoke during the Previous Acquisition, it is assumed that the major client of the Target Group, which operates the Coal-Processing Assets, will be also Huscoke. Besides, it is also assumed that the Coal Processing Business operated by the Target Group has a similar business operation as Golden Rock. Therefore, it is assumed that the expenses incurred in the profit forecast for the year ending 31 December 2009, including selling and distribution costs and administrative expenses would have a similar pattern comparing to the actual cost incurred by Golden Rock for the year ending 31 December 2007.

2. General assumptions

  • 2.1 It is assumed that there will be no material changes in existing government policies, or in political, legal (including changes in legislation, regulations or rules), technological, fiscal, market or economic conditions in the PRC and in the industry in which the Coal Processing Business operates, where the Target Group’s customers carry out business, from where the Target Group purchase coal-related products.

  • 2.2 It is assumed that there will be no material changes in inflation rates, interest rates, exchange rates, tariffs and duties in the PRC from the current prevailing rates as at the date of the Circular.

  • 2.3 It is assumed that the Target Group will have sufficient working capital to operate the Coal Processing Business and no finance cost will be incurred.

3. Commercial assumptions to the Profit Forecast

3.1 Coal Selling Price

The unit sale price being used for the calculation of the turnover for the year ending 31 December 2008 is based on the averaged unit sale price of the coal in Shan Xi from Jan-June 2008, plus tariff and net of VAT.

It is assumed that the unit sale price of coal during the year ending 31 December 2009 would have 9.82% growth based on the averaged GDP growth from 2002-2007 in PRC.

VI-2

APPENDIX VI

FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE GUARANTEED 2009 NET PROFIT

3.2 Selling and distribution expenses

The selling and distribution expenses are mainly comprised of transportation costs, tariffs and storage costs which these expenses are incurred proportionally to the increase to the sales quantities for the year ending 31 December 2009.

3.3 Administrative expenses

The administrative expenses are mainly comprised of wastage fee, administrative staff costs travelling expenses and office expenses. It is assumed that the administrative expenses would be increased at the same rate as the inflation rate in the PRC for the year ending 31 December 2009.

4. Summary of significant accounting policies to the Profit Forecast

  • 4.1 Basis of preparation

The measurement basis in preparation of the profit forecast is the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies set out below.

  • 4.2 Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods sold and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts.

Sales of goods are recognised when goods are delivered and title has passed.

  • 4.3 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment including land and buildings held for use on the production or supply of goods and services, or for administrative purposes are stated at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives and after taking into account of their estimated residual value, using the reducing balance method.

VI-3

APPENDIX VI

FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE GUARANTEED 2009 NET PROFIT

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the income statement in the year in which the item is derecognised.

4.4 Leasehold land and building

The land and building elements of a lease of land and building are considered separately for the purpose of lease classification, leasehold land which title is not expected to pass to the lessee by the end of the lease term is classified as an operating lease unless the lease payments cannot be allocated reliably between the land and building elements, in which case, the entire lease is classified as a finance lease.

4.5 Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised as and included in finance costs in the profit forecast in the period in which they are incurred.

4.6 Impairment losses

At each balance sheet date, the carrying amounts of assets to are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount under another standard, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease under that standard.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount under another standard, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase under that standard.

The Directors

Frankie Dominion International Limited Room 4205 Far East Finance Center 16 Harcourt Road Admiralty Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

In accordance with your instructions to value the properties in which Frankie Dominion International Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter together referred to as the “Group”) have interests in Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), we confirm that we have carried out physical inspections, made relevant enquiries and searches and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the capital values of the property interests as at 31 March 2008 (the “date of valuation”).

Our valuations of the property interests represent the market value which we would define as intended to mean “the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently, and without compulsion”.

We have valued the property interests in Groups I and II which are held by the Group by direct comparison approach assuming sale of the property interest in its existing state with the benefit of immediate vacant possession and by making reference to comparable sales transactions as available in the relevant market.

Our valuations have been made on the assumption that the seller sells the property interests in the market without the benefit of a deferred term contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement, which could serve to affect the values of the property interests.

VII-1

APPENDIX VII

VALUATION REPORT ON THE GROUP

No allowance has been made in our report for any charge, mortgage or amount owing on any of the property interests valued nor for any expense or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature, which could affect their values.

In valuing the property interests of the Group in Hong Kong held under the Government Leases expiring before 30 June 1997, we have taken into account the stipulations contained in Annex III of the Joint Declaration of the Government of the United Kingdom and the Government of the People’s Republic of China on the question of Hong Kong and the New Territories Leases (Extension) Ordinance 1988 that such leases have been extended without premium until 30 June 2047 and that a rent of three per cent of the then ratable value is charged per annum from the date of extension.

In valuing the property interests, we have complied with all requirements contained in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited; the RICS Valuation Standards (6th Edition) published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors; and the HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (1st Edition 2005) published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.

We have relied to a very considerable extent on the information given by the Group and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as tenure, planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, particulars of occupancy, lettings, and all other relevant matters.

We have been provided with copies of title documents relating to the property interests and have caused searches to be made at the Hong Kong Land Registries. However, we have not searched the original documents to verify the ownership or to ascertain any amendment.

We have been shown copies of various title documents including Real Estate Title Certificates and official plans relating to the property interests and have made relevant enquiries. Where possible, we have examined the original documents to verify the existing title to the property interests in the PRC and any material encumbrance that might be attached to the property interests or any tenancy amendment. We have relied considerably on the advice given by the Company’s PRC legal advisers – Guangzhou Foreign Economic Law Office, concerning the validity of the property interests in the PRC.

We have not carried out detailed measurements to verify the correctness of the areas in respect of the properties but have assumed that the areas shown on the title documents and official site plans handed to us are correct. All documents and contracts have been used as reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximations. No on-site measurement has been taken.

VII-2

APPENDIX VII

VALUATION REPORT ON THE GROUP

We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the interior of the properties. However, no structural survey has been made, but in the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defect. We are not, however, able to report whether the properties are free of rot, infestation or any other structural defect. No tests were carried out on any of the services.

We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Group. We have also sought confirmation from the Group that no material factors have been omitted from the information supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to arrive an informed view, and we have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld.

Unless otherwise stated, all monetary figures stated in this report are in Hong Kong Dollars (HK$). The exchange rate adopted in our valuations is approximately HK$1 = RMB0.90 which was approximately the prevailing exchange rate as at the date of valuation.

Our valuations are summarized below and the valuation certificates are attached.

Yours faithfully, for and on behalf of

Jones Lang LaSalle Sallmanns Limited Paul L. Brown B.Sc. FRICS FHKIS Director
