Note:

Under the Open Offer and pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter has agreed to take up the Offer Shares on a fully underwritten basis. Accordingly, the total number of Offer Shares to be underwritten by the Underwriter is 267,701,320 Offer Shares. Nevertheless, the Underwriter, subject to the results of the Open Offer, may arrange VBG Capital Limited (as the placing agent) to procure independent subscriber(s) to subscribe for such number of Offer Shares to ensure that the Company is able to maintain the minimum public float requirement at all times. For detailed illustration, please refer to the sections headed “Shareholding structure of the Company” and “Maintenance of public float” below.

The Offer Shares proposed to be issued represent:

  • (a) 75.00% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date assuming that no further Shares will be issued or bought back by the Company prior to the close of the Open Offer; and

10

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (b) approximately 42.86% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Offer Shares, assuming that no further Shares will be issued or bought back by the Company prior to the close of the Open Offer.

The aggregate nominal value of the Offer Shares is HK$44,413,530.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had no outstanding option, convertible securities, options, warrants or derivatives in issue which confer any right to subscribe for, convert or exchange into Shares.

Qualifying Shareholders

The Company will send the Prospectus containing details of the Open Offer to the Qualifying Shareholders and, for information only, to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders. The Application Forms will also be sent to the Qualifying Shareholders only.

To qualify for the Open Offer, Shareholders must at the close of business on the Record Date be registered as a member of the Company. Shareholders having an address in Hong Kong on the register of members of the Company at the close of business on the Record Date are qualified for the Open Offer. Shareholders having addresses outside Hong Kong on the register of members of the Company at the close of business on the Record Date are qualified for the Open Offer only if the Board, after making relevant enquiry with lawyers in the relevant jurisdictions, considers that the offer to these Shareholders would not contravene any legal restriction under the laws of the relevant place or any requirement of the relevant regulatory body or stock exchange in that place and such offer will not require any relevant registration.

In order to be registered as a member of the Company on the Record Date, Shareholders must lodge the relevant transfer of Shares (with the relevant share certificates) with the Registrar by 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, 10 August 2016.

Closure of register of members

The Company’s register of members will be closed from Thursday, 11 August 2016 to Wednesday, 17 August 2016, both dates inclusive, for the purpose of, among other things, to determine the eligibility of the Qualifying Shareholders. No transfer of Shares will be registered during this period.

Rights of the Overseas Shareholders

The Prospectus Documents are not intended to be registered under the applicable securities legislation of any jurisdiction other than Hong Kong. As at the Latest Practicable Date, based on the available register of members of the Company, there were two Overseas Shareholders whose registered addresses as shown on the register of members of the Company are in the British Virgin Islands (“ BVI ”). Pursuant to Rule 13.36(2) of the Listing Rules, the Company has made enquiries by engaging the BVI legal advisers to issue a legal opinion as to the feasibility of extending the Open Offer to the Overseas Shareholders under the laws of the BVI and the requirements of the relevant regulatory body or stock exchange in the BVI.

11

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Based on the initial advice of the BVI legal advisers and subject to any changes thereon, the Directors are of the preliminary view that it is expedient to extend the Open Offer to the Overseas Shareholders in the BVI as there are no legal restrictions prohibiting the making of the Open Offer in such jurisdiction and no local legal or regulatory compliance is required to be made nor approval, permit or consent from relevant governmental authorities is required to be obtained in such jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Directors expect that there will be no Non-Qualifying Shareholders.

It is the responsibility of the Shareholders, including the Overseas Shareholders, to observe the local legal and regulatory requirements applicable to them for taking up and onward sale (if applicable) of the Offer Shares and to pay any taxes and duties required to be paid in such jurisdiction in connection with the taking up and onward sale of the Offer Shares.

Fractional entitlements

The Company shall not allot any fractions of Offer Shares to the Qualifying Shareholders and fractional entitlements will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Offer Shares. Such fractional entitlements shall be aggregated and will be dealt with as Offer Shares not accepted.

Subscription Price

The Subscription Price of HK$0.80 per Offer Share is payable in full when a Qualifying Shareholder accepts the Open Offer.

The Subscription Price represents:

  • (i) a discount of approximately 1.23% to the closing price of HK$0.81 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date;

  • (ii) a premium of approximately 1.27% over the closing price of HK$0.79 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

  • (iii) a discount of approximately 0.62% to the average closing price of approximately HK$0.805 per Share for the ten consecutive trading days as quoted on the Stock Exchange up to and including the Last Trading Day;

  • (iv) a premium of approximately 81.82% over the consolidated net asset value per Share of approximately HK$0.44 (calculated by dividing the audited equity attributable to owners of the Company as at 31 December 2015 as shown in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2015 of approximately HK$261,848,000 by 592,180,400 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date); and

  • (v) a premium of approximately 0.76% over the theoretical ex-entitlement price (calculated by dividing the aggregate of (i) the market value of the Shares at the closing price as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day; and (ii) the gross proceeds from the Open Offer, by the number of Shares then in issue immediately after the close of the Open Offer) of approximately HK$0.794 per Share based on the closing price per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day.

12

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Subscription Price was agreed based on arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Underwriter after having taken into account primarily the prevailing market price of the Shares. The Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors whose view will be disclosed in the circular after taking into account the advice from the Independent Financial Adviser) consider that the terms of the Open Offer are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The net Subscription Price per Offer Share (after deducting professional fees and other relevant expenses) is approximately HK$0.794.

Basis of the assured allotment of the Offer Shares

Three (3) Offer Shares will be issued for every four (4) Shares held by a Qualifying Shareholder on the Record Date. Acceptance of all or any part of a Qualifying Shareholder’s assured allotment should be made by completing the Application Form.

Status of the Offer Shares

When issued and fully paid, the Offer Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares then in issue. Holders of the Offer Shares will be entitled to receive all dividends and distributions which are declared, made or paid after the date of allotment of the Offer Shares in their fully-paid form.

Share certificates and refund cheques

Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions of the Open Offer, share certificates for all Offer Shares are expected to be posted to those entitled thereto by ordinary post at their own risk on Friday, 9 September 2016. If the Open Offer is terminated, refund cheques are expected to be posted to the respective Qualifying Shareholders by ordinary post at their own risk on Friday, 9 September 2016.

No application for excess Offer Shares

No Qualifying Shareholder is entitled to apply for any Offer Shares in excess to his/her/its entitlement. Any Offer Shares not taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders and (if any) the Offer Shares to which the Non-Qualifying Shareholders would otherwise have been entitled under the Open Offer, will not be available for subscription by other Qualifying Shareholders by way of excess application and will be taken up by the Underwriter pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement.

The Directors hold the view that the Open Offer allows the Qualifying Shareholders to maintain their respective pro-rata shareholding in the Company and to participate in the future growth and development of the Group. It is estimated that an additional cost of approximately HK$150,000 to administer the excess application procedures will be incurred, which is not cost effective from the viewpoint of the Company. After arm’s length negotiations with the Underwriter, and taking into account that the related administration costs would be lowered in the absence of excess applications, the Directors consider that it is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole not to offer any excess application to the Qualifying Shareholders.

13

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Application for listing

The Company will apply to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Offer Shares. The Offer Shares shall have the same board lot size as the Shares, i.e. 3,000 Shares.

No part of the share capital of the Company is listed or dealt in or on which listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought on any other stock exchange.

Subject to the grant of the approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Offer Shares on the Stock Exchange, the Offer Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the respective commencement date of dealings in the Offer Shares on the Stock Exchange or such other date as determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second trading day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.

Stamp duty

Dealings in the Offer Shares on the Stock Exchange will be subject to the payment of stamp duty in Hong Kong, Stock Exchange trading fees, SFC transaction levy and other applicable fees and charges in Hong Kong.

THE UNDERTAKING

On 14 June 2016 (after trading hours), the Company received the Undertaking Letter from Double Key, pursuant to which Double Key has irrevocably undertaken to the Company:

  • (i) to accept the Offer Shares to be allotted to it on assured allotment basis (in its capacity as a Shareholder) pursuant to the Open Offer; and

  • (ii) not to dispose of the 235,245,306 Shares held by it prior to the close of the Open Offer and that such Shares remain to be registered under its name and/or under the name of its nominee on the Record Date and until the close of the Open Offer.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Double Key was a controlling shareholder of the Company beneficially interested in 235,245,306 Shares, representing approximately 39.73% of the issued share capital of the Company; and the entire issued share capital of Double Key was wholly and beneficially owned by Ms. Cheng Hung Mui, who is an executive Director.

Assuming that the total issued Shares and the shareholding of Double Key remain unchanged before the Open Offer, Double Key is committed to accept 176,433,980 Offer Shares.

The Open Offer is conditional upon fulfilment or waiver of all conditions set out under the sub-section headed “Conditions precedent” below. The Open Offer is also subject to the Underwriter not terminating the Underwriting Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. Accordingly, the Open Offer may or may not proceed.

Notes:

  • (2) Burgeon Max Holdings Limited is owned as to 60% by Ms. Wang Jin and 40% by Ms. Wu Siqing, an Independent Third Party. Ms. Wang Jin is the spouse of Mr. Sheng Siguang, an executive Director.

  • (3) Lankai Limited is wholly owned by Mr. Li Yujun, an Independent Third Party.

  • (4) In the event that none of the Qualifying Shareholders (other than Double Key in the capacity of a Shareholder) have taken up their respective entitlements under the Open Offer, the total number of Offer Shares to be underwritten by Double Key is 267,701,320 Offer Shares. Nevertheless, under such scenario, as the total issued Shares to be held by the public Shareholders (including Lankai Limited which will then become a public Shareholder) would represent approximately 24.79% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company only, the Underwriter, pursuant to the Placing Agreement, will arrange VBG Capital Limited, as the placing agent, to procure independent subscriber(s) to subscribe for 2,143,831 Offer Shares, representing approximately 0.21% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company.

  • Accordingly, Double Key and its concert parties will hold 677,236,775 Shares, representing approximately 65.35% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company.

19

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Each of Double Key, Burgeon Max Holdings Limited and Lankai Limited is investment holding company, and each of them and their respective concert parties are not parties acting in concert with each other.

MAINTENANCE OF PUBLIC FLOAT

Pursuant to the public float requirement under Rule 8.08(1)(a) of the Listing Rules, the public Shareholders, at all times, must hold 25% of the total number of issued Shares. Under Rule 8.24 of the Listing Rules, Double Key and Burgeon Max Holdings Limited are non-public Shareholders. In the event that the Shares held by Lankai Limited equal to or are above 10% of the total number of issued Shares, Lankai Limited will be a substantial shareholder of the Company and hence also a non-public Shareholder (vice versa). If not all Qualifying Shareholders taking up their respective entitlements under the Open Offer, upon the close of the Open Offer, the Company may not be able to meet the minimum public float requirement under Rule 8.08(1)(a) of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Underwriter has arranged with VBG Capital Limited to act as the placing agent to procure independent subscriber(s) to subscribe for a maximum of 102,143,831 Offer Shares (representing approximately 9.86% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Offer Shares), which otherwise the Underwriter would be called upon to take up, to ensure that not less than 25% of the total number of issued Shares is held by the public Shareholders and the Company meets the minimum public float requirement under Rule 8.08(1)(a) of the Listing Rules at all times. Such maximum number of Offer Shares to be subscribed for by the independent subscriber(s) as procured by VBG Capital Limited is calculated based on the scenario that none of the Qualifying Shareholders (other than (i) Double Key in the capacity of a Shareholder and (ii) Lankai Limited taking up its partial entitlements under the Open Offer up to the extent that it will hold 10% of the enlarged issued Shares) have taken up their respective entitlements under the Open Offer.

The relevant Placing Agreement was entered into by the Underwriter and VBG Capital Limited on 5 July 2016. After the Latest Time for Acceptance when the results of the Open Offer are known, having taken into account of the minimum public float requirement, the Underwriter will notify VBG Capital Limited such number of Offer Shares it should procure the independent subscriber(s) to subscribe for and direct the Company to issue such Offer Shares directly to the relevant subscriber(s). It is expected that the Company will be able to maintain the minimum public float of 25% of the issued Shares at all times.

Group of the Shanxi Company;
and
(v) HK$5.1 million as general

REASONS FOR THE OPEN OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Group is principally engaged in printing and manufacturing of packaging products.

The net proceeds from the Open Offer (after deducting professional fees and other relevant expenses) will amount to HK$352,808,240. It is intended that all of the net proceeds from the Open Offer will be applied in the development of the lithium ion motive battery business of the Group specifically for payment of the considerations under the Purchase Agreements.

For details regarding the development plan of the lithium ion motive battery business, please refer to the section headed “Reasons for entering into of Purchase Agreement C I and the Purchase Agreements” below.

The Board considers that the Open Offer will enable the Group to strengthen its capital base and provide sufficient capital to support the development of the Group’s lithium ion motive battery business. The Board further considers that it is prudent to finance the Group’s long-term business development by long-term financing, preferably in the form of equity which will not increase the Group’s finance costs.

21

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board considers that the Open Offer will give the Qualifying Shareholders the opportunity to maintain their respective pro-rata shareholding interest in the Company. The Directors are of the view that fund raising through the Open Offer is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. However, those Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up the Offer Shares to which they are entitled should note that their shareholdings in the Company will be diluted.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As the Open Offer will increase the number of the issued Shares by more than 50%, in compliance with Rule 7.24(5)(a) of the Listing Rules, the Open Offer must be made conditional on approval of the Independent Shareholders by way of poll at the SGM and any controlling shareholders of the Company and their associates or where there is no controlling shareholder, the Directors (other than independent non-executive Directors), the chief executive of the Company and their respective associates shall abstain from voting in favour of the resolution relating to the Open Offer.

In addition, pursuant to Rule 7.26A(2) of the Listing Rules, since no excess application for the Offer Shares is available and the Open Offer is fully underwritten by Double Key, a controlling shareholder of the Company, specific approval must be obtained from the Independent Shareholders in respect of the absence of excess application arrangement. Shareholders who have a material interest in the arrangement and their respective associates shall abstain from voting at the SGM.

The entering into of the Underwriting Agreement between the Company and Double Key is a connected transaction under the Listing Rules for Double Key being a controlling shareholder hence a connected person of the Company. Pursuant to Rule 14A.92(2)(b) of the Listing Rules, provided that Rule 7.26A(2) of the Listing Rules has been complied with, the Underwriting Agreement will be exempted from the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements.

(II) THE WHITEWASH WAIVER

Assuming that (i) no further Shares will be issued or bought back by the Company prior to the close of the Open Offer; and (ii) none of the Qualifying Shareholders other than Double Key have taken up their respective entitlements under the Open Offer, the interests in the Company held by Double Key and parties acting in concert with it upon the close of the Open Offer will increase from approximately 39.73% to approximately 65.35% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Offer Shares.

REASONS FOR ENTERING INTO OF PURCHASE AGREEMENT C I AND THE PURCHASE AGREEMENTS

According to the announcement of the Company dated 20 October 2015, the Company has established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Tesson New Energy (Shenzhen), in Shenzhen, the PRC in around late September 2015. Tesson New Energy (Shenzhen) is intended to engage in the sale of lithium ion motive battery, lithium ion battery module, battery charging devices, battery materials machines and production lines, new energy solution and sale of relevant equipment, investments holding and import and export trading.

37

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Tesson New Energy (Shenzhen) entered into an agreement on 31 December 2015 for acquisition of the entire equity interest of the Shaanxi Company which, together with its subsidiary, is principally engaged in manufacturing and sale of lithium-ion batteries, battery packs, chargers and battery materials. The Shaanxi Company’s factories, offices and ancillary facilities are located at Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, the PRC (the “ Shaanxi Company Manufacturing Site ”). Small scale production at the Shaanxi Company Manufacturing Site is on-going. To upgrade the technology and to raise the production capacity of the Shaanxi Company Manufacturing Site, the Shaanxi Company has entered into purchase agreements for the purchase of machineries including but not limited to Machineries B III and Machineries C II. For avoidance of doubt, the purchase of those other machineries does not constitute a notifiable transaction for the Company due to their size.

To establish another production line of lithium-ion batteries, battery packs, chargers and battery materials, Tesson New Energy (Shenzhen) (i) has, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, rented a production site in Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, the PRC (the “ Rented Manufacturing Site ”); and (ii) has entered into purchase agreements for the purchase of machineries and services including but not limited (1) Machineries A and Machineries B as referred to in the Disclosable Transactions Announcement and (2) Machineries B II, Machineries C I, Machineries D, Machineries E, the Renovation and Construction Services and Machineries G as set out above. For avoidance of doubt, the purchase of those other machineries does not constitute a notifiable transaction for the Company due to their size.

Machineries A, Machineries B, Machineries B III, Machineries C I, Machineries D and Machineries E, the Renovation and Construction Services, Machineries G and those other machineries will be delivered to the Rented Manufacturing Site and form its production line.

It is expected that the development of the lithium ion motive battery business will comprise establishing a full production line at the Rented Manufacturing Site and the upgrade of technology and raise of the production capacity of the Shaanxi Company Manufacturing Site. Detailed development plan of both manufacturing sites are set out below:

The establishment of the full production line at the Rented Manufacturing Site will be conducted in four phases:

  • (i) Assessment phase (including the feasibility, environmental, capacity and safety assessment) has taken place in the first to second quarter of 2016.

  • (ii) Machineries purchasing, installation and testing phase and production site refurbishment which is scheduled to take place in the second to fourth quarter of 2016. The purchase of all of the aforementioned machineries and services is for the purpose of this phase.

  • (iii) Production trial run phase during which trial production of lithium ion motive batteries is conducted.

  • (iv) Production work flow fine tune phase to increase the production capacity to at least 90% of full capacity (500,000 units of batteries per day) by the third quarter of 2017.

38

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The upgrade of the technology and raise of the production capacity of the Shaanxi Company Manufacturing Site will be conducted in three phases:

  • (i) Machineries purchasing, installation and testing phase and production site refurbishment which is scheduled to take place in the second to third quarter of 2016. The purchase of all of the aforementioned machineries is for the purpose of this phase.

  • (ii) Production trial run phase during which trial production of lithium ion motive batteries is conducted and is scheduled to take place in the fourth quarter of 2016.

  • (iii) Production work flow fine tune phase to increase the production capacity to at least 90% of full capacity (230,000 units of batteries per day) by the first quarter of 2017.

The total investment cost of the lithium ion motive battery business is estimated to be approximately RMB482.5 million, including:

  • (i) acquisition of the entire equity interest in the Shanxi Company of approximately RMB19.5 million as disclosed in the discloseable transaction announcement published by the Company on 3 January 2016;

  • (ii) refurbishment of the two production sites, namely the Shaanxi Company Manufacturing Site and the Rented Manufacturing Site, by the purchase of various machineries and services as aforementioned of approximately RMB413 million; and

  • (iii) approximately RMB50 million for general working capital and other miscellaneous expenses.

It is expected that the Company will finance the development of the lithium ion motive battery business of the Group using the net proceeds from the Open Offer, debt financing and net proceeds from the equity fund raising activity as set out under the section headed “Equity fund raising activity of the Company in the past twelve-month period immediately before the Latest Practicable Date” above. The Company may further expand the current development plan should the financial performance of the lithium ion motive battery business be satisfactory in the future.

Leveraging on the positive outlook of the PRC lithium ion motive battery business as highlighted below, the Board is optimistic about the development of the Group’s lithium ion motive battery business in the future. The Board is also of the view that the terms of Purchase Agreement C I and the Purchase Agreements are fair and reasonable and the respective transactions contemplated thereunder are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

OVERVIEW OF THE PRC LITHIUM ION MOTIVE BATTERY BUSINESS

Lithium ion motive batteries or lithium ion battery modules can be used in electric vehicle, or serve as electricity storage units in wind and solar power plants and power grids, power back up in communication base station and various kinds of mobile devices.

As one of the largest lithium battery producing countries, lithium battery in the PRC has seen notable growth in both production and domestic demand. According to an article dated 15 June 2015 published on the “Invest in China” website (“ 中國投資指南 ”), the total output of lithium battery in the PRC increased by about 10.95% year-on-year to about 5.29 billion units in 2013.

39

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

A key usage of lithium battery is on the power supply unit of electric vehicles. According to the US Department of Energy, energy storage systems of electric vehicles include lithium-ion batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, lead-acid batteries and ultracapacitors, of which lithium-ion batteries are the most widely used in today’s plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and all-electric vehicles, mainly due to their characteristics of high power-to-weight ratio, high energy efficiency, good high-temperature performance and low self-discharge, with most components can be recycled. Worldwide efforts on research and development on lithium batteries are focused on cost reduction and extension of useful life cycle. As such, lithium battery plays a vital role as a widely recognised choice of power supply unit in electric vehicles, the demand of which has a determining effect on the outlook of lithium battery sector.

According to the statistics published by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the PRC, China sold 330,000 units of new energy vehicles in 2015, which was 3.4 times that of the previous year and outperformed the United States to become the world’s largest new energy vehicles market. It is expected that, by 2020, the ownership of new energy vehicles and mini electric cars in China will both surpass 5 million units, which will lead to the continuous and strong growth of lithium motive batteries.

It is noted that the robust growth in the sale of electric vehicles in the PRC is to a large extent attributable to the favourable government policies promoting the use of electric vehicles with an aim to combat domestic pollution issues. In June 2012, 中華人民共和國發展和改革委員會 (National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC) issued “節能與新能源汽車產業規劃” (2012–2020) (Plan of Energy Conservation and New Energy Vehicle Industry) (the “ New Energy Vehicle Plan ”) to advise on the development of energy conservation and new energy for the vehicle industry. Under the New Energy Vehicle Plan, the PRC government aims to expand the new energy vehicle industry by various means including the set-up of national research center for the advancement of automotive battery technology so as to improve the quality and efficiency while to lower the manufacturing cost of vehicle battery, thereby increasing the competitiveness of new energy vehicle. Furthermore, it is also estimated that the new energy vehicle in the PRC domestic market would reach up to 5.0 million units in 2020, which will lead to the continuous and strong growth of lithium motive batteries.

The New Energy Vehicle Plan is backed up by a series of favourable policies announced by the PRC government in 2014. In the State Council meeting held on 9 July 2014, Premier Li Keqiang announced that purchase of electric vehicles and other types of new energy vehicles will be exempt from purchase tax starting from September 2014 to the end of 2017. On 13 July 2014, the Ministry of Finance together with four other ministries and bureaus in the PRC announced the policy to promote the proportion of new energy vehicles in annual purchase of government vehicles to not lower than 30% from 2014 to 2016. This policy is to be applied to the central government units as well as the government organisations of designated cities.

Taking into account the above favourable policies in relation to new energy vehicles, it is expected that the new energy vehicle industry in the PRC would flourish and the demand for the lithium battery, being one of the most popular types of rechargeable battery for electric vehicles as discussed above, is expected to grow in the coming future.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED UNDER THE PURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Based on the pro forma financial information of the Group as set out in Appendix II to this circular and bases and assumptions taken into account in preparing such pro forma financial information, the Group’s total assets and total liabilities would not be affected by the transactions contemplated under the Purchase Agreements, given that the increase in “property, plant and equipment” will be offset by the decrease of same amount in “cash and cash equivalent” due to the payment of the considerations as set out in the Purchase Agreements. Details of the financial effect of the transactions contemplated under the Purchase Agreements on the financial position of the Group together with the bases and assumptions taken into account in preparing the unaudited pro forma financial information are set out, for illustration purpose only, in Appendix II to this circular. Moreover, the Company considers that the transactions contemplated under the Purchase Agreements would likely to bring positive contribution to the earnings of the Group in the future.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As the acquisition activities as set out in the Announcement and the Discloseable Transaction Announcement together would lead to substantial involvement by the Company in a business activity, being the lithium ion motive battery business, which did not previously form part of the Group’s principal business activities, pursuant to Rule 14.23 (4) of the Listing Rules, the acquisition transactions relating to such business have to be aggregated.

As the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the Listing Rules) of Purchase Agreement C I were below 5%, Purchase Agreement C I did not constitute a notifiable transaction for the Company at the time it was entered into.

As the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the Listing Rules) in respect of the Purchase Agreements when aggregated with Purchaser Agreement C I as well as the previous two acquisition of machineries transactions as disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 15 January 2016 are more than 25% but less than 100%, the entering into of the Purchase Agreements constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchase Agreements and Purchase Agreement C I have no Takeovers Code’s implication. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, except for the intended use of proceeds from the Open Offer, the Purchase Agreements and Purchase Agreement C I do not have any relationship with the Open Offer, the Underwriting Agreement and the Whitewash Waiver.

(IV) PROPOSED INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company was HK$100,000,000 divided into 1,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.10 each, of which 592,180,400 Shares had been issued and allotted as fully paid or credited as fully paid. In order to allow the Company to have the flexibility to issue new Shares for the proposed Open Offer and future development, the Company proposes to increase the authorised share capital of the Company from HK$100,000,000 (divided into 1,000,000,000 Shares) to HK$200,000,000 (divided into 2,000,000,000 Shares) by the creation of an additional 1,000,000,000 Shares which will rank pari passu with all existing Shares.

41

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The proposed increase in authorised share capital of the Company is subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the SGM.

Dear Sirs and Madams,

(I) PROPOSED OPEN OFFER ON THE BASIS OF THREE (3) OFFER SHARES FOR EVERY FOUR (4) SHARES HELD ON THE RECORD DATE; AND (II) APPLICATION FOR WHITEWASH WAIVER

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in relation to the proposed Open Offer, the Underwriting Agreement and the Whitewash Waiver. Details of which are set out in the “Letter from the Board” (the “ Board Letter ”) contained in the circular to the Shareholders dated 21 July 2016 (the “ Circular ”), of which this letter forms part. Unless the context requires otherwise, terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as given to them under the definitions section of the Circular.

On 17 June 2016, the Directors announced that the Company proposed to raise HK$355,308,240 million before expenses by way of the Open Offer, under which 444,135,300 Offer Shares will be issued at the Subscription Price of HK$0.80 per Offer Share. The Company will allot three (3) Offer Shares for every four (4) Shares held by the Qualifying Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company on the Record Date. The Open Offer is only available to the Qualifying Shareholders, and will not extend to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders.

46

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As the Open Offer will increase the number of the issued Shares by more than 50%, in compliance with Rule 7.24(5)(a) of the Listing Rules, the Open Offer must be made conditional on approval of the Independent Shareholders by way of poll at the SGM and any controlling shareholders of the Company and their associates or where there is no controlling shareholder, the Directors (other than independent non-executive Directors), the chief executive of the Company and their respective associates shall abstain from voting in favour of the resolution relating to the Open Offer.

In addition, pursuant to Rule 7.26A(2) of the Listing Rules, since no excess application for the Offer Shares is available and the Open Offer is fully underwritten by Double Key, a controlling shareholder of the Company, specific approval must be obtained from the Independent Shareholders in respect of the absence of excess application arrangement. Shareholders who have a material interest in the arrangement and their respective associates shall abstain from voting at the SGM.

As stated in the Board Letter, assuming that (i) no further Shares will be issued or bought back by the Company prior to the close of the Open Offer; and (ii) none of the Qualifying Shareholders other than Double Key have taken up their respective entitlements under the Open Offer, the interests in the Company held by Double Key and parties acting in concert with it upon the close of the Open Offer will increase from approximately 39.73% to approximately 65.35% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Offer Shares. Double Key and parties acting in concert with it will, in the absence of the Whitewash Waiver, be obliged to make a mandatory cash offer for all issued Shares not already owned or agreed to be acquired by them pursuant to Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. An application has been made by Double Key to the Executive for the Whitewash Waiver, pursuant to Note 1 on dispensation from Rule 26 of the Takeover Code. As confirmed by the Company, The Executive has indicated that it will grant the Whitewash Waiver subject to, among other things, the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the SGM by way of poll. If the Whitewash Waiver is not granted by the Executive or the Whitewash Waiver is not approved at the SGM, the Open Offer will not proceed.

THE INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE

The Independent Committee of the Board, comprising WANG Jinlin, CHEN Weixi and NG Ka Wing, has been established to give recommendations to the Independent Shareholders as to whether the terms of the transactions contemplated under the Open Offer, the Underwriting Agreement and the Whitewash Waiver are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

(I) PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion and recommendation, we have taken into account the following principal factors and reasons.

1. Background information

1.1 Principal business of the Company

The Company is an investment holding company. The Group is principally engaged in (i) printing and manufacturing of packaging products; and (ii) manufacturing and sale of lithium-ion batteries, battery packs, charges and battery materials.

1.2 Recent business development of the Group

On 16 June 2014, the Company entered into a restructuring deed to implement the restructuring of the indebtedness of the Group which contemplated, among others, (i) the scheme of arrangement of the restructuring (the “ Schemes ”) and (ii) the secured debt purchase (collectively the “ Debt Restructuring ”). The Schemes became effective on 18 March 2015 and a total amount of approximately HK$485.6 million was subsequently made available by Double Key, a controlling shareholder of the Company, for the implementation of the Debt Restructuring.

On 20 October 2015, the Company announced its intention to engage in the sale of lithium-ion motive battery, lithium-ion battery module, battery charging devices, battery materials machines and production lines, new energy solution and sale of relevant equipment (the “ Lithium Ion Motive Battery Business ”) in the PRC through Tesson New Energy (Shenzhen) Limited, an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

To implement the development of the abovementioned new business, the Company entered into an acquisition agreement on 31 December 2015 and acquired the entire contributed equity interest in 陝西力度電池有限公司 (Shaanxi Leaders Battery Co. Ltd.), which is principally engaged in manufacturing and sale of lithium-ion batteries, battery packs, charges and battery materials, from Shunqian Energy and Jinwen New Energy.

As stated in the Board Letter, the Group had rented a production site in Weinan City and purchased various machineries for the establishment of a new production line of lithium-ion batteries, battery packs, charges and battery materials.

Notwithstanding the recent business development focus on Lithium Ion Motive Battery Business, according to the 2015 Annual Report, the package printing business still remained as the core business of the Group. Since the acquisition of the equity interest in Shaanxi Leaders Battery Co. Ltd. was completed on 28 January 2016, the Group’s revenue was primarily generated from the sale of packaging products for the two years ended 31 December 2015.

Such increase was mainly attributable to the combined effect of (i) restructuring costs of approximately HK$23.6 million in relation to the professional fees to provisional liquidators, scheme administrator, the related professional advisors and lawyers, other consultancy fees, as well as professional fees in connection with the Company’s open offer completed on 10 March 2015 and the overall exercise on the application of the resumption of the shares of the Company in March 2015; and (ii) one-off gain of approximately HK$30.4 million on the execution of the restructuring schemes, represented the net distribution attributable to the Group from the execution of the arrangement of certain debts compromise, waiver and settlement in accordance with the terms of the restructuring schemes.

The Group recorded an amount due to a related company of approximately HK$422.4 million as at 31 December 2015 (2014: Nil). Such balance represented the transfer of restructured debts of approximately HK$505.1 million to Double Key upon execution of the Schemes and an amount due to a related company was recorded since then.

We noted that the Group generally finances its working capital and funding requirements through internal resources and bank and other borrowings. According to the 2015 Annual Report, the Directors were of the view that the Group maintained sufficient working capital as at 31 December 2015 with net current assets of approximately HK$457.2 million (2014: net current liabilities of approximately HK$226.5 million) and bank and cash balances amounted to approximately HK$204.4 million (2014: approximately HK$53.7 million) whilst there were total bank and other borrowings of approximately HK$88.9 million (2014: approximately HK$489.7 million). The Group also recorded dividend income from investments in available-for-sale in the sum of approximately HK$0.9 million and HK$3.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 and 2015, respectively. Gearing ratio of the Group was maintained at a relatively high level, although there was an improvement from approximately 66.5% as at 31 December 2014 to approximately 54.4% as at 31 December 2015 due to the proceeds from the issue of shares under specific mandate during the year ended 31 December 2015.

1.4 Capital requirement of the Group

To ensure the competitive edges of the Company, the Company will apply all the net proceeds from the Open Offer in the development of the Lithium Ion Motive Battery Business of the Group, specifically for payment of the considerations under the Purchase Agreements.

We have obtained and reviewed the unaudited management account as of 31 May 2016 and the 2015 Annual Report of the Group. We note that the Group has bank and cash balances of approximately HK$135 million and HK$204 million as at 31 May 2016 and 31 December 2015, respectively.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As confirmed by the Directors, we understand that the Group has capital commitments in respect of the Company’s businesses of approximately HK$145 million and HK$82 million as of 31 May 2016 and 31 December 2015, respectively.

In addition, as discussed with the Directors, as at 31 May 2016, we note that the amount of loan principal and interest in aggregate due for payment during the financial year ending 31 December 2016, excluding the revolving loan, is expected to be approximately HK$23 million.

Having considered that (1) the Company has bank and cash balances of approximately HK$135 million as at 31 May 2016; (2) the capital commitments of the Group as at 31 May 2016 is expected to be approximately HK$145 million; and (3) the amount of loan principal and interest in aggregate due for payment during the financial year ending 31 December 2016, excluding the revolving loan, is expected to be approximately HK$23 million. The Directors are of the view that, apart from the extra financial resources required for the payment of the considerations under the Purchase Agreements of approximately RMB280 million, the Group has sufficient capital resources to meet the requirement in the near to medium term up to 30 June 2017.

2. Reasons for and benefits of the Open Offer and the use of proceeds

The net proceeds from the Open Offer (after deducting professional fees and other relevant expenses) will amount to HK$352,808,240. As stated in the Board Letter, all of the net proceeds from the Open Offer will be applied in the development of the Lithium Ion Motive Battery Business of the Group specifically for payment of the considerations under the Purchase Agreements.

The Directors consider that the Open Offer will enable the Group to strengthen its capital base and provide sufficient capital to support the development of the Group’s Lithium Ion Motive Battery Business.

The Directors further consider that it is prudent to finance the Group’s long-term business development by long-term financing, preferably in the form of equity which will not increase the Group’s finance costs. The Open Offer will give the Qualifying Shareholders the opportunity to maintain their respective pro-rata shareholding interest in the Company. The Directors are of the view that fund raising through the Open Offer is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. However, those Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up the Offer Shares to which they are entitled should note that their shareholdings in the Company will be diluted.

As stated in the Board Letter, it is expected that the Company will finance the development of the Lithium Ion Motive Battery Business of the Group using the net proceeds from the Open Offer, debt financing together with net proceeds from the equity fund raising activity as set out under the section headed “Equity fund raising activity of the Company in the past twelve-month period immediately before the Latest Practicable Date” in the Board Letter.

52

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

In view of the positive outlook of the PRC lithium ion motive battery industry to be discussed below, the Directors are optimistic about the development of the Group’s Lithium Ion Motive Battery Business in the future.

As stated in the Board Letter, lithium battery in the PRC has seen notable growth in both production and domestic demand. A key usage of lithium battery is on the power supply unit of electric vehicles. Worldwide efforts on research and development on lithium batteries are focused on cost reduction and extension of useful life cycle. As lithium battery plays a vital role as a widely recognized choice of power supply unit in electric vehicles, the demand of which has a determining effect on the outlook of lithium battery sector. We have reviewed the statistics published by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the PRC, China sold 330,000 units of new energy vehicles in 2015, which was 3.4 times that of the previous year and outperformed the United States to become the world’s largest new energy vehicles market. We also noted from the New Energy Vehicle Plan that there were a series of favourable policies planned by the PRC government from 2012 to 2020 to support the development of electric vehicle in the PRC.

We have performed independent research and/or analysis, including but not limited to the research and/or analysis of (1) the article “Li-Ion Battery for Electric Vehicles Market In China” published by Technavio on 22 April 2015 (the “ Technavio Article ”); and (2) an article published on the “Renewable Energy World” on 4 September 2014 regarding the research report by Frost and Sullivan. Renewable Energy World was started in 1998 and is one of the most recognized and trusted independent source for renewable energy news and information globally. Frost & Sullivan is an independent global consulting firm, which was founded in 1961 in New York with more than 40 global offices and over 2,000 industry consultants, market research analysts, technology analysts and economists outstanding for various specific needs.

We consider these two sources of information independent, objective and relevant to the development of the Lithium Ion Motive Battery Business of the Group. In addition, we have reviewed the articles and understood the content of the articles. We consider the findings and information in these articles, which include views and ideas from global renowned experts, are fair, representative and conclusive to substantiate the reasons and benefits of the Open Offer.

According to the Technavio Article, which is publicly available, we note that electric vehicles, including but not limited to plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and battery electric vehicles, are powered by the lithium ion batteries. As stated in the Technavio Article, the demand for lithium ion batteries for electric vehicles in the PRC is expected to grow five-fold, posting a CAGR of close to 40% during 2015-2019. In addition, together with the financial incentives from the government in the PRC in the research and development activities of electric vehicles, continuous government support in improving the charging facilities for electric vehicles owners, favourable policies in manufacturing and development of electric vehicles such as aggressively implementing the country-wide installation of hi-tech charging stations to make charging convenient and accessible for all future electric vehicles, the Technavio Article concluded that there will be an increasing sales of electric vehicles in the PRC and in turn will increase the demand for lithium ion batteries for electric vehicles in the PRC.

53

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Last but not least, the market for lithium-ion batteries is expected to grow four times by 2020 according to an article published on the “Renewable Energy World” on 4 September 2014. As to the research report by Frost and Sullivan as stated in the article, regulatory incentives are driving demand in both energy and automotive sectors. In the automotive sector, regulations encouraging fuel efficiency, emission standards and use of clean energy sources are stimulating the need for lithium-ion batteries. Meanwhile, in grid and renewable energy storage, charging utility regulations, especially in the United States, Europe and Asia-Pacific, encourage battery-based energy storage and distribution projects. Thus, an exuberant growth of the global lithium-ion battery market is expected in the next few years.

Taking into account that (i) a key usage of lithium batteries is on the power supply unit of electric vehicles; (ii) there are favourable policies to back up the development of new energy vehicles and thus the new energy vehicle industry in the PRC would flourish and the demand for the lithium battery, being one of the most popular types of rechargeable battery for electric vehicles as discussed above, is expected to grow in the coming future; (iii) as stated in the Technavio Article, there will be an increasing sales of electric vehicles in the PRC and in turn will increase the demand for lithium ion batteries for electric vehicles in the PRC; and (iv) Frost and Sullivan expected, and we concurred, that there will be an expected growth in the global lithiumion batteries industry and an increasing demand in the automotive sector, we concur with the Directors that the Lithium Ion Motive Battery Business has a promising outlook in the PRC and we are of the view that the net proceeds from the proposed Open Offer to fund the development of the Lithium Ion Battery Business is in the interests of the Company and Independent Shareholders.

2.1 Financing alternatives

The Company has conducted one equity fund raising activity in the 12 months preceding the Latest Practicable Date. As stated in the circular of the Company dated 24 November 2015 (the “ 2015 Circular ”), the Company issued new shares under specific mandates and conducted connected transaction involving subscription of new shares by connected person. Save as disclosed, the Company has not conducted any other equity fund raising exercise in the 12 months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

As confirmed by the Directors, they have considered other methods of fund raising. For our due diligence purpose, we have discussed with the Directors and we note that the Company has considered various methods, namely (1) internal resources; (2) debt financing; and (3) equity financing.

As stated in the Board Letter, the total consideration, being the aggregated considerations of Consideration B II of RMB31,400,000, Consideration B III of RMB7,151,000, Consideration C II of RMB8,880,000, Consideration D of RMB100,000,000, Consideration E of RMB90,000,000, Consideration F of RMB36,000,000, and Consideration G of RMB6,500,000, is approximately RMB279,931,000 (the “ Total Consideration ”). As confirmed by the Company, the Company had bank and cash balances of approximately HK$135 million as at 31 May 2016. We note that the Company’s existing bank and cash balances is insufficient for payment of the Total Consideration.

54

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As at 31 May 2016, the Company had debt of approximately HK$877 million and a high gearing ratio of approximately 57.9%. As discussed with the Directors, it is difficult for the Company to obtain loans from banks or financial institutions in view of the considerably high gearing ratio. We have discussed with the management of the Company and note that the Company approached several banks or financial institution, including but not limited to local and country-wide banks or financial institutions in Hong Kong and PRC in 2016. However, the Company did not receive favourable responses from them. In addition, it will incur interest expenses to the Company which in turn will adversely affect the profit and loss position of the Company. As such, the Directors consider that debt financing is not suitable for the Company, given the current financial position of the Company.

The Company has considered other forms of equity fund raising exercises such as placement of shares to third parties or rights issue to Qualifying Shareholders. As discussed with the Directors, the Directors consider that share placement will result in dilution to the interests of the existing Shareholders, which is not preferred for the time being. We concur with the Directors that share placement is not preferred for the time being due to the potential dilution to interests of the existing Shareholders.

As discussed with the Directors, compared to open offer, the Directors considers that rights issue generally requires higher cost to administer and arrange for the nil-paid rights trading, printing services and for reviewing the provisional allotment letters and other necessary documents, including the time for the Company to liaise with the parties involved in the rights issue such as the share registrar, the underwriter, financial printer and its professional advisers. Moreover, given the recent lackluster performance of the share price and thin trading volume of the Shares, the Directors consider that the absence of trading of nil-paid rights may not be considered material to the Qualifying Shareholders. We concur with the Directors that rights issue is less preferred when compared to open offer.

As discussed with the Directors, we note that the Directors consider an open offer allows the Qualifying Shareholders sharing an equal opportunity to participate in the enlargement of the capital base and future development of the Company while maintaining their proportionate interest in the Company. We concur with the Directors that open offer is a more appropriate fundraising method for the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Having considered that (1) payment of the Total Consideration by the Company’s internal resources is not sufficient; (2) debt financing is considered not suitable for the Company, given the current financial position of the Company and the adverse impact on the financial position of the Company attributable to the additional interest expense burden; (3) share placement is not preferred for the time being due to the dilution effect to interests of the existing Shareholders; (4) rights issue will generally incur higher administration cost when compared to open offer; and (5) open offer is a more appropriate fundraising method for the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, we concur with the Directors and we are of the view that the proposed Open Offer will enable the Group to strengthen its capital base and provide sufficient capital to support the development of the Group’s Lithium Ion Motive Battery Business and is a more preferable fundraising method for the Company.

In such case, the Open Offer will not proceed.

As confirmed by the Company, none of the above conditions had been fulfilled or waived as at the Latest Practicable Date.

4.3 Underwriting arrangement and absence of application for excess Offer Shares

There is no arrangement for application of the Offer Shares by Qualifying Shareholders in excess of their proportionate assured allotments under the Open Offer. The Offer Shares (other than those which have been irrevocably undertaken to be subscribed by Double Key) not validly applied for by the Qualifying Shareholders will be taken up by the Underwriter. No underwriting commission will be payable by the Company to the Underwriter under the Underwriting Agreement.

We have obtained and reviewed the Underwriting Agreement from the Company and note that no underwriting commission is payable by the Company to the Underwriter and Double Key shall be responsible for all fees and expenses incurred by it in relation to the Whitewash Waiver.

64

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Underwriting Agreement consists of various terms, in particular, the underwriting commission. We have reviewed the announcements of open offer as announced by companies listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange from January to May in 2016. We note that the commissions payable by the respective companies to the respective underwriters for open offers with premium over or less than 10% discount to the closing price of the respective last trading day, whether the respective underwriters are connected or independent, ranged from 2.0% to 3.0%. In light of the comparatively attractive terms of the Underwriting Agreement, in particular, the underwriting commission, we consider the Underwriting Agreement is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

As disclosed in the Board Letter, after arm’s length negotiations with the Underwriter, the Company decided that the Qualifying Shareholders are not entitled to apply for any Offer Shares which are in excess of their assured entitlements. The Company considers that the administrative costs would be lowered without the excess application.

As stated in the Board Letter and confirmed by the Directors, we note that the estimated administrative costs of approximately HK$150,000 will be incurred should the Company entitle the Qualifying Shareholders to apply for excess Offer Shares. Additionally, considering that each Qualifying Shareholder will be given an equal and fair opportunity to participate in the Company’s potential future development by subscribing for his/her entitlement under the Open Offer and maintaining their respective pro rata shareholding interests in the Company, the Directors are of the view that the benefits of offering the excess application procedures do not justify the additional efforts and costs. The Directors consider it is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders not to offer any excess application to the Qualifying Shareholders. In light of the above, we concur with the Directors and we are of the view that the absence of application for excess Offer Shares may not be considered material to the Qualifying Shareholders.

Having considered that (1) each Qualifying Shareholder will be given an equal and fair opportunity to participate in the Open Offer; (2) the Subscription Price is acceptable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole; (3) Double Key is willing to underwrite the new Shares; (4) no underwriting commission is payable by the Company to the Underwriter; (5) Double Key shall be responsible for all fees and expenses incurred by it in relation to the Whitewash Waiver; (6) the Underwriting Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole; (7) as estimated by the Company, the arrangement of excess application would require putting in additional effort and costs of approximately HK$150,000; (8) the absence of application for excess Offer Shares may not be considered material to the Qualifying Shareholders; (9) the Qualifying Shareholders who choose to accept their respective entitlement under the Open Offer in full can maintain their respective pro-rata shareholding in the Company and to participate in the future growth and development of the Group; and (10) the Open Offer is subject to the Underwriting Agreement having become unconditional while the Underwriting Agreement is conditional upon, among others, approval of the absence of excess application arrangement under the

65

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Open Offer and the Whitewash Waiver by the Independent Shareholders at the SGM, we concur with the Directors and are of the view that (1) the terms of the Underwriting Agreement; and (2) the terms of the Open Offer in respect of the absence of the excess application arrangement, are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

4.4 Potential dilution effect of the Open Offer on Shareholding interests

As discussed at the section headed Financing Alternatives under the section headed Reasons for and benefits of the Open Offer and the use of proceeds in this letter, the Directors considers open offer to be the most appropriate fundraising method for the Company for the time being as an open offer allows the Qualifying Shareholders sharing an equal opportunity to participate in the enlargement of the capital base and future development of the Company while maintaining their proportionate interest in the Company.

As the Open Offer is offered to all Qualifying Shareholders on the same basis, the Qualifying Shareholders will be able to maintain their proportional interests in the Company if they take up their allotments in full under the Open Offer.

As stated in section headed Shareholding Structure of the Company under the Board Letter, approximately 43.39% of the Company was held by the Independent Shareholders, which include Lankai Limited and its parties acting in concert and other public Shareholders, as at the date of the Announcement. The shareholding interest of the Independent Shareholders will reduce to approximately 24.80% immediately after completion of the Open Offer, assuming none of the Qualifying Shareholders (other than Double Key in the capacity of a Shareholder) have taken up their respective entitlements under the Open Offer and no exercise of any outstanding and exercisable Share Option on or before the Record Date. In the event the subscription for the Offer Shares by the Underwriter pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement will result in insufficient public float of the Company, the Underwriter shall take all necessary steps before the close of the Open Offer such that sufficient float to the Company can be maintained.

As stated in the Board Letter, pursuant to the public float requirement under Rule 8.08(1)(a) of the Listing Rules, the public Shareholders, at all times, must hold 25% of the total number of issued Shares. Under Rule 8.24 of the Listing Rules, Double Key and Burgeon Max Holdings Limited are non-public Shareholders. In the event that the Shares held by Lankai Limited equal to or are above 10% of the total number of issued Shares, Lankai Limited will be a substantial shareholder of the Company and hence also a nonpublic Shareholder (vice versa). If not all Qualifying Shareholders taking up their respective entitlements under the Open Offer, upon the close of the Open Offer, the Company may not be able to meet the minimum public float requirement under Rule 8.08(1)(a) of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Underwriter has arranged with VBG Capital Limited to act as the placing agent to procure independent subscriber(s) to subscribe for a maximum of 102,143,831 Offer Shares (representing approximately 9.86% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Offer Shares), which otherwise the Underwriter would be called upon to take up, to ensure that not less than 25% of the

66

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

total number of issued Shares is held by the public Shareholders and the Company meets the minimum public float requirement under Rule 8.08(1)(a) of the Listing Rules at all times. Such maximum number of Offer Shares to be subscribed for by the independent subscriber(s) as procured by VBG Capital Limited is calculated based on the scenario that none of the Qualifying Shareholders (other than (i) Double Key in the capacity of a Shareholder and (ii) Lankai Limited taking up its partial entitlements under the Open Offer up to the extent that it will hold 10% of the enlarged issued Shares) have taken up their respective entitlements under the Open Offer.

The relevant Placing Agreement was entered into by the Underwriter and VBG Capital Limited on 5 July 2016. After the Latest Time for Acceptance, when the results of the Open Offer are known, having taken into account of the minimum public float requirement, the Underwriter will notify VBG Capital Limited, as the placing agent, such number of Offer Shares, it should procure the independent subscriber(s) to subscribe for and direct the Company to issue such Offer Shares directly to the relevant subscriber(s). It is expected that the Company will be able to maintain public float of 25% of the issued Shares at all times.

In all cases of open offers, the dilution on the shareholding of those Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up in full their assured entitlements under open offers are inevitable. Taking into account the above mentioned factors, we are of the view that the potential dilution effect of the Open Offer on shareholding interests is acceptable.

5. Financial effects of the Open Offer on the Group

5.1 Effect on bank and cash balances

Upon completion of the Open Offer, the net proceeds are expected to be not less than approximately HK$352.8 million. As such, immediately upon completion of the Open Offer, the bank and cash balances of the Group will be increased. Hence it is expected to have a positive effect on the Group’s bank and cash balances.

5.2 Effect on net asset value attributable to owners of the Company

We have obtained and reviewed the management account as at 31 May 2016, from the Company. Based on the financial results of the Company for the five months ended 31 May 2016, the unaudited net asset value attributable to owners of the Company was approximately HK$270 million as at 31 May 2016. As confirmed by the Directors, the Open Offer would increase the shareholder’s equity of the Company. Hence, it is expected to have a positive effect on the Group’s net asset value attributable to owners of the Company.

67

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

5.3 Effect on net gearing

As the Open Offer will have a positive effect on the Group’s bank and cash balances, as well as a positive effect on the Group’s net asset value attributable to owners of the Company, the Company’s net gearing ratio will be improved upon completion of the Open Offer. Hence, it is expected to have a positive effect on the Group’s net gearing ratio.

In light of (1) the positive effect on the Gorup’s bank and cash balances; (2) the positive effect on the Group’s net asset value attributable to owners of the Company; and (3) the positive effect on the Group’s net gearing ratio, we are of the view that the Open Offer will have a positive financial effect on the Group.

6. Effect of the Open Offer on the shareholding of the Company

All Qualifying Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for the Open Shares. For those Qualifying Shareholders who take up their entitlements in full under the Open Offer, their shareholding interests in the Company will remain unchanged after the completion of the Open Offer.

(II) THE WHITEWASH WAIVER

As stated in the Board Letter, Ms. Cheng through Double Key, holds 235,245,306 Shares, representing approximately 39.73% of the existing issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Underwriter is called upon to subscribe for the Underwritten Shares in full pursuant to its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement, the interests of Double Key and parties acting in concert in the Company will increase from approximately 39.73% as at the Latest Practicable Date to approximately 65.35% (assuming that (1) no further Shares will be issued or bought back by the Company prior to the date of Open Offer; and (2) none of the Qualifying Shareholders other than Double Key have taken up their respective entitlements under the Open offer). Accordingly, in the absence of the Whitewash Waiver, the underwriting by the Underwriter of the Open Offer will trigger an obligation to make a mandatory general offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code for all the securities of the Company not already owned or agreed to be acquired by the Underwriter and persons acting in concert with it. The Underwriter has made an application for the Whitewash Waiver to the Executive pursuant to Note 1 on dispensations from Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Pursuant to the Takeovers Code, the Whitewash Waiver will be conditional on, among other things, the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the SGM by way of poll.

As stated in the Board Letter, the Open Offer is conditional upon, among other things, the Executive granting the Whitewash Waiver to the Underwriter. Based on our analysis of the terms of the Open Offer as set out above, we consider that the terms of the Open Offer and the absence of excess application arrangement are fair and reasonable and the Open Offer is in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole. If the Whitewash Waiver is not granted by the Executive or not approved by the Independent Shareholders, the Open Offer will not proceed. Given (i) the abovementioned positive financial impacts on the Group as a result of the Open Offer; and (ii) all Qualifying Shareholders will be provided with an equal opportunity to take up their Offer Shares in

68

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

accordance with their entitlement under the Open Offer and their respective interests in the Company will not be diluted if they elect to take up their entitlement in full under the Open Offer, we are of the opinion that, for the purposes of implementing the Open Offer as discussed above, the Whitewash Waiver is in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

(III) RECOMMENDATION

Taking into consideration of the principal factors and reasons discussed above, in particular that:

  • (i) there are potential capital requirement and capital commitment particularly in the business development projects of the Group for investment in the Lithium Ion Motive Batteries Business;

  • (ii) there is an expected positive outlook of the lithium ion batteries to be funded by the net proceeds from the proposed Open Offer;

  • (iii) the Open Offer will enlarge the capital base and strengthen financial position of the Company, and the net proceeds from the proposed Open Offer;

  • (iv) the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable;

  • (v) the Open Offer is subject to the Underwriting Agreement having become unconditional while the Underwriting Agreement is conditional upon, among others, approval of the absence of excess application arrangement under the Open Offer and the Whitewash Waiver by the Independent Shareholders at the SGM;

  • (vi) no underwriting commission will be charged by the Underwriter and thus will not increase the cost burden of the Group;

  • (vii) all the Qualifying Shareholders will be offered an equal opportunity to participate in the Open Offer and there would be no dilution effect on those Qualifying Shareholders who take up their entitlements in full under the Open Offer;

  • (viii) other fund raising alternatives such as placement of Shares would dilute the interests of the existing Shareholders in the Company as existing Shareholders might not be able to participate on an equitable basis, while further debt financing would increase the interest burden of the Group;

  • (ix) according to recent negotiations with banks, the Group has difficulty in raising a significant amount of borrowings at a reasonable interest rate in short term; and

  • (x) there will be an overall positive financial effects of the Open Offer on the Group as expected by the Company,

69

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

we consider that the Open Offer, the absence of the excess application of the Offer Shares arrangement, the Underwriting Agreement and the Whitewash Waiver are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend and we recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the SGM in this regard.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of KGI Capital Asia Limited

On 25 March 2015, all resumption conditions set out in the letter from the Stock Exchange dated 29 October 2014 have been fulfilled. The trading in the shares of the Company has been resumed on 27 March 2015. Further details of which are described in the Company’s announcements dated 4 December 2014, 27 January 2015, 17 March 2015 and 25 March 2015.

The Company is an investment holding company. During the year, the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively “ the Group ”) were principally engaged in printing and manufacturing of packaging products (the “ Packaging Printing Business ”). The principal activities of the Company’s subsidiaries are set out in note 35 to the consolidated financial statement.

As approved by shareholders of the Company at an extraordinary general meeting held on 25 June 2015 and by the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda on 30 June 2015, the name of the Company has been changed to “Tesson Holdings Limited” from “Kith Holdings Limited” and the dual Chinese name of the Company has been changed to “天臣控股有限公司” from “僑威集團有限公司”.

2. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

In the current year, the Group has adopted all the new and revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“ HKFRSs ”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants that are relevant to its operations and effective for its accounting year beginning on 1 January 2015. HKFRSs comprise Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards; Hong Kong Accounting Standards and Interpretations. The adoption of these new and revised HKFRSs did not result in significant changes to the Group’s accounting policies, presentation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements and amounts reported for the current year and prior years.

The Group has not applied the new and revised HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective. The Group has already commenced an assessment of the impact of those new and revised HKFRSs but is not yet in a position to state whether these new and revised HKFRSs would have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs, accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for property, plant and equipment and certain financial instruments, which are measured at revalued amounts or fair values, as explained in the accounting policies set out below. These consolidated financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of key assumptions and estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgments in the process of applying the accounting policies. The areas involving critical judgments and areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to these consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below.

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries made up to 31 December. Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The Group has power over an entity when the Group has existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities, i.e. activities that significantly affect the entity’s returns.

When assessing control, the Group considers its potential voting rights as well as potential voting rights held by other parties, to determine whether it has control. A potential voting right is considered only if the holder has the practical ability to exercise that right.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date the control ceases.

The gain or loss on the disposal of a subsidiary that results in a loss of control represents the difference between (i) the fair value of the consideration of the sale plus the fair value of any investment retained in that subsidiary and (ii) the Company’s share of the net assets of that subsidiary plus any remaining goodwill relating to that subsidiary and any related accumulated foreign currency translation reserve.

Intragroup transactions, balances and unrealised profits are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Non-controlling interests represent the equity in subsidiaries not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. Non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated statement of changes in equity within equity. Non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as an allocation of profit or loss and total comprehensive income for the year between the non-controlling shareholders and owners of the Company.

I-10

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling shareholders even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions (i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners). The carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company.

Discontinued operations

A discontinued operation is a component of the Group, the operations and cash flows of which can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Group and which represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, or is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.

Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale in accordance with HKFRS 5 “Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations”, if earlier. It also occurs when the operation is abandoned.

When an operation is classified as discontinued, a single amount is presented in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, which comprises:

  • The post-tax profit or loss of the discontinued operation; and

  • The post-tax gain or loss recognised on the measurement to fair value less costs to sell, or on the disposal, of the assets or disposal group constituting the discontinued operation.

Foreign currency translation

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “ functional currency ”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

(b) Transactions and balances in each entity’s financial statements

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency on initial recognition using the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from this translation policy are recognised in profit or loss.

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair values in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates at the dates when the fair values are determined.

When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognised in other comprehensive income, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income. When a gain or loss on a nonmonetary item is recognised in profit or loss, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.

I-11

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

(c) Translation on consolidation

The results and financial position of all the Group entities that have a functional currency different from the Company’s presentation currency are translated into the Company’s presentation currency as follows:

  • Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position;

  • Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the exchange rates on the transaction dates); and

  • All resulting exchange differences are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities and of borrowings are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve. When a foreign operation is sold, such exchange differences are recognised in consolidated profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.

Property, plant and equipment

Buildings comprise mainly factories and offices. Property, plant and equipment are carried at fair values, based on periodic valuations by external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation and impairment losses. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised in profit or loss during the period in which they are incurred.

Revaluation increases of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss to the extent that the increases reverse revaluation decreases of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss. All other revaluation increases are credited to the asset revaluation reserve as other comprehensive income. Revaluation decreases that offset previous revaluation increases of the same asset remaining in the asset revaluation reserve are charged against the asset revaluation reserve as other comprehensive income. All other decreases are recognised in profit or loss. On the subsequent sale or retirement of a revalued property, plant and equipment, the attributable revaluation increases remaining in the asset revaluation reserve is transferred directly to retained profits.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated at rates sufficient to write off their revalued amounts less their residual values over the estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The principal annual rates are as follows:

Buildings Over the shorter of the term of the lease or 25 years Plant and Machinery 4%-33% Office equipment 20% Motor vehicles 20%

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

I-12

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Construction in progress represents buildings under construction and plant and machinery pending installation, and is stated at cost less impairment losses. Depreciation begins when the relevant assets are available for use.

The gain or loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset, and is recognised in profit or loss.

Operating leases

Leases that do not substantially transfer all the risks and rewards of ownership of assets to the Group are accounted for as operating leases. Lease payments (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average basis. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of all production overhead expenditure, and where appropriate, subcontracting charges. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Recognition and derecognition of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire; the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets; or the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets but has not retained control on the 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 in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.

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

Investments

Investments are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis where the purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, plus directly attributable transaction costs except in the case of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Investments are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss or available-for-sale financial assets.

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are either investments classified as held for trading or designated as at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition. These investments are subsequently measured at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of these investments are recognised in profit or loss.

I-13

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

(ii) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets not classified as trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity investments or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Availablefor-sale financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of these investments are recognised in other comprehensive income, until the investments are disposed of or there is objective evidence that the investments are impaired, at which time the cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are recognised in profit or loss. Interest calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in profit or loss.

Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured and derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity instruments, are measured at cost less impairment losses.

Impairment losses recognised in profit or loss for equity investments classified as available-for-sale financial assets are not subsequently reversed through profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in profit or loss for debt instruments classified as available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently reversed and recognised in profit or loss if an increase in the fair value of the instruments can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss.

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment. An allowance for impairment of trade and other receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the receivables’ carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition. The amount of the allowance is recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods and recognised in profit or loss when an increase in the receivables’ recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to the restriction that the carrying amount of the receivables at the date the impairment is reversed shall not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents represent cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are also included as a component of cash and cash equivalents.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument under HKFRSs. 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 for specific financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.

I-14

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are stated initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

Equity instruments

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

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.

  • (a) Revenues from the trading and sales of manufactured goods are recognised on the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the time when the goods are delivered and the title has passed to the customers.

  • (b) Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.

  • (c) Dividend income is recognised when the shareholders’ rights to receive payment are established.

Employee benefits

(a) Employee leave entitlements

Employee entitlements to annual leave and long service leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave and long service leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the at the end of the reporting period.

Employee entitlements to sick leave and maternity leave are not recognised until the time of leave.

(b) Pension obligations

The Group contributes to defined contribution retirement schemes which are available to all employees. Contributions to the schemes by the Group and employees are calculated as a percentage of employees’ basic salaries. The retirement benefit scheme cost charged in profit or loss represents contributions payable by the Group to the funds.

(c) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are recognised at the earlier of the dates when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the Group recognises restructuring costs and involves the payment of termination benefits.

I-15

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

To the extent that funds are borrowed generally and used for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is determined by applying a capitalisation rate to the expenditures on that asset. The capitalisation rate is the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings of the Group that are outstanding during the period, other than borrowings made specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Government grants

A government grant is recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to it and that the grant will be received.

Government grants that become receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.

Taxation

Income tax represents the sum of the current tax and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit recognised in profit or loss 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 end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. 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, unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from 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 and associates 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 the end of each reporting period 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.

I-16

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Related parties

A related party is a person or entity that is related to the Group.

  • (a) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to the Group if that person:

  • (i) has control or joint control over the Group;

  • (ii) has significant influence over the Group; or

  • (iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the Company or of a parent of the Company.

  • (b) An entity is related to the Group (reporting entity) if any of the following conditions applies:

  • (i) The entity and the Company are members of the same group (which means that each parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others).

  • (ii) One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member).

  • (iii) Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party.

  • (iv) One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity.

  • (v) The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the Group or an entity related to the Group. If the Group is itself such a plan, the sponsoring employers are also related to the Group.

  • (vi) The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a).

  • (vii) A person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).

  • (viii) The entity, or any member of a group of which it is a part, provides key management personnel services to the Company or to a parent of the Company.

I-17

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Segment reporting

Operating segments and the amounts of each segment item reported in the consolidated financial statements are identified from the financial information provided regularly to the Group’s most senior executive management for the purpose of allocating resources and assessing the performance of the Group’s various lines of business.

Individually material operating segments are not aggregated for financial reporting purposes unless the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in respect of the nature of products and services, the nature of productions processes, the type or class of customers, the methods used to distribute the products or provide the services, and the nature of the regulatory environment. Operating segments which are not individually material may be aggregated if they share a majority of these criteria.

Impairment of assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets other than investment, inventories and receivables, to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of any impairment loss. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit 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 (net of amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditures expected to settle the obligation.

Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow is remote.

Events after the reporting period

Events after the reporting period that provide additional information about the Group’s position at the end of the reporting period or those that indicate the going concern assumption is not appropriate are adjusting events and are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Events after the reporting period that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements when material.

4. CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS AND KEY ESTIMATES

Critical judgements in applying accounting policies

In the process of applying the accounting policies, the directors have made the following judgements that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

(a) Deferred tax for withholding tax

Under the EIT Law of the PRC, withholding tax is imposed on dividends declared in respect of profits earned by the PRC subsidiaries from 1 January, 2008 onwards. Deferred tax has been provided for in the consolidated financial statements in respect of the undistributed earnings of the Group’s PRC subsidiaries to the extent that such earnings are estimated to be distributed in the foreseeable future. The Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of these temporary differences and it is probable that these temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, 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) Property, plant and equipment and depreciation

The Group determines the estimated useful lives, residual values and related depreciation charges for the Group’s property, plant and equipment. This estimate is based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment of similar nature and functions. The Group will revise the depreciation charge where useful lives and residual values are different to those previously estimated, or it will write-off or write-down technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold.

(b) Impairment loss for bad and doubtful debts

The Group makes impairment loss for bad and doubtful debts based on assessments of the recoverability of the trade and other receivables, including the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of each debtor. Impairments arise where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the balances may not be collectible. The identification of bad and doubtful debts requires the use of judgement and estimates. Where the actual result is different from the original estimate, such difference will impact the carrying value of the trade and other receivables and doubtful debt expenses in the year in which such estimate has been changed.

(c) Net realisable value of inventories

Net realisable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and selling expense. These estimates are based on the current market condition and the historical experience of manufacturing and selling products of similar nature. It could change significantly as a result of changes in customer taste and competitor actions in response to severe industry cycles. The Group will reassess the estimates by the end of each reporting period.

5. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: foreign currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance.

(a) Foreign currency risk

The Group has minimal exposure to foreign currency risk as most of its business transactions, assets and liabilities are principally denominated in the functional currencies of the Group entities of Hong Kong dollars (“ HK$ ”) and Renminbi (“ RMB ”). The Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy in respect of foreign currency transactions, assets and liabilities. The Group will monitor its foreign currency exposure closely and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.

(b) Credit risk

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in the event that counterparties fail to perform their obligations at the end of the reporting period in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amounts of those assets as stated in the consolidated statement of financial position. The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade and other receivables. In order to minimise credit risk, the management review the recoverable amount of each individual receivable regularly to ensure that adequate impairment losses are recognised for irrecoverable receivable. In this regard, the management consider that the Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.

At the end of the reporting period, the Group had certain concentration of credit risk as approximately 42% (2014: 38%) and 82% (2014: 78%) of the Group’s trade receivables were due from the Group’s largest customer and the five largest customers, respectively.

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet its current obligations when they fall due.

The Group’s policy is to regularly monitor current and expected liquidity requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.

The following table details the remaining contractual maturities of the Group’s financial liabilities at the end of the reporting period, which are based on contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest payments computed using contractual rates or, if floating, based on rates current at the end of reporting period and the earliest date the Group can be required to pay).

6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The following disclosures of fair value measurements use a fair value hierarchy that categorises into three levels the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value:

Level 1 inputs: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Group can access at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs: inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 inputs: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The Group’s policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of any of the three levels as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.

The Group does not hold any collateral over these balances. Impaired amounts were directly written off against trade receivables when there was no expectation of recovering any amount.

Trade receivables that are not impaired

Trade receivables that were not past due relate to a wide range of customers who has no recent history of default. The Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.

Trade receivables that were past due but not impaired relate to a number of independent customers that have a good track record with the Group. Based on past experience, the management believes that no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of these balances as there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the balances are still considered fully recoverable.

The Company, at its discretion, may either make early repayment or request to defer repayment in accordance with the initial repayment schedule if the Company does not have sufficient funds or if such deferral of repayment is agreed between the Company and the related company. As such, in the opinion of the Directors, the amount due to the related company at the end of the reporting period shall not be repayable within one year.

At the end of the reporting period, subject to the agreements with the tax authority, the Group has unused tax losses of approximately HK$76,488,000 (2014: HK$70,894,000) for subsidiaries incorporated in Hong Kong available for offset against future profits of approximately approximately HK$76,488,000 (2014: HK$70,894,000) and such tax losses may be carried forward indefinitely. No deferred tax asset has been recognised for these tax losses due to the unpredictability of future profit streams of those subsidiaries.

Under the EIT Law of the PRC, withholding tax is imposed on dividends declared in respect of profits earned by the PRC subsidiaries from 1 January, 2008 onwards. Deferred tax has been provided for in the consolidated financial statements in respect of the undistributed earnings of the Group’s PRC subsidiaries to the extent that such earnings are estimated to be distributed in the foreseeable future. At the end of the reporting period, the aggregate amount of the undistributed earnings of the Group’s PRC subsidiaries which the corresponding deferred taxation has not been provided for in the consolidated financial statements amounted to approximately HK$118,836,000 (2014: HK$115,740,000), as the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of these temporary differences and it is probable that these temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

(c) Nature and purpose of reserves of the Group

(i) Share premium

Share premium represents premium arising from the issue of shares at a price in excess of their par value per share and is not distributable but may be applied in paying up unissued shares of the Company to be issued to the shareholders of the Company as fully paid bonus shares or in providing for the premiums payable on repurchase of shares.

(ii) Capital redemption reserve

Capital redemption reserve arose from the reduction of the nominal value of the issued share capital of the Company upon the cancellation of the repurchased shares.

I-42

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

(iii) Capital reserve

Capital reserve represents the difference between the nominal value of the shares of the acquired subsidiaries and the nominal value of the Company’s shares issued for the acquisition at the time of the group reorganisation in 1998.

(iv) Contributed surplus

The contributed surplus of the Company represents the difference between the consolidated shareholders’ funds of Kith Limited at the date on which it was acquired by the Company, and the nominal amount of the Company’s shares issued for the acquisition at the time of the group reorganisation in 1998.

Under the Companies Act of Bermuda, the contributed surplus account of the Company is available for distribution. However the Company cannot declare or pay a dividend, or make a distribution out of contributed surplus if:

  • it is, or would after the payment be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or

  • the realisable value of its assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities and its issued share capital and share premium accounts.

  • (v) Foreign currency translation reserve

The foreign currency translation reserve comprises all foreign exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign operations. The reserve is dealt with in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.

  • (vi) Asset revaluation reserve

Assets revaluation reserve has been set up and are dealt with in accordance with the accounting policies adopted for property, plant and equipment in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.

Dear Sirs,

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of pro forma financial information of Tesson Holdings Limited (the “ Company ”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “ Group ”) by the directors of the Company for illustrative purposes only.

The applicable criteria on the basis of which the directors have compiled the Statement are set out in Appendix II of the Circular.

The Statement has been compiled by the directors to illustrate the impact of the proposed acquisition of machineries on the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2015 as if the transaction had been taken place at 31 December 2015. As part of this process, information about the Group’s financial position has been extracted by the directors from the Group’s consolidated financial statements as included in the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2015, on which an audit report has been published.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by paragraph 29(7) of Chapter 4 of the Listing Rules, on the Statement and to report our opinion to you. We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the Statement beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3420 “ Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus” issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that the reporting accountant plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the directors have compiled the Statement in accordance with paragraph 29 of Chapter 4 of the Listing Rules and with reference to AG 7 “ Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars” issued by the HKICPA.

For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the Statement, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the Statement.

Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the event or transaction at 31 December 2015 would have been as presented.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the Statement has been properly compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the directors in the compilation of the Statement provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

  • The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and

  • The Statement reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.

The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountant’s judgment, having regard to the reporting accountant’s understanding of the nature of the Group, the event or transaction in respect of which the Statement has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the Statement.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

VALUATION REPORT OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX III

The following is the text of a letter, summary of values and valuation certificates, prepared for the purpose of incorporation in this circular received from APAC Asset Valuation and Consulting Limited, an independent valuer, in connection with its valuation as at 31 May 2016 of the property interests held by the Group.

The Directors Tesson Holdings Limited Room 1007, Tsim Sha Tsui Centre, West Wing, 66 Mody Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon

21 July 2016

Dear Sirs,

In accordance with instructions from Tesson Holdings Limited (the “ Company ”) for us to value the property interests held by the Company and its subsidiaries (hereinafter together referred to as the “ Group ”), we confirm that we have carried out inspections, 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 such property interests as at 31 May 2016 (the “ Date of Valuation ”).

Valuation Basis

Our valuation is our opinion of Market Value which is defined by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors (“ HKIS ”) Valuation Standards to mean “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.”

Market value is understood as the value of an asset or liability estimated without regard to costs of sale or purchase (or transaction) and without offset for any associated taxes or potential taxes.

This valuation is complied with the HKIS Valuation Standards (2012 Edition) published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors (“ HKIS ”). We have also complied with all the requirements set out in Chapter 5 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and Rule 11 of the Code on Takeovers and Mergers. We have met the requirement of an “independent valuer” as defined in Appendix 1-1 of the valuation standard and these mentioned listing rules.

Valuation Assumptions

Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the owner sells the properties on the open market without the benefit or burden of a deferred term contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement, which would serve to affect the values of the properties.

III-1

VALUATION REPORT OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX III

No allowance has been made in our valuation neither for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the property interests nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the properties are free of encumbrances, restrictions, outgoings of onerous nature and public information which could affect its value.

Valuation Methodology

We have valued the property interests in Group I (except property no. 7) and Group III by Direct Comparison Approach on the assumption that the properties can be sold in their existing state with the benefit of immediate vacant possession and making references to comparable sales transactions and asking prices as available in the relevant markets. The Direct Comparison Approach (also known as market approach) is based on comparing the properties to be valued directly with other comparable properties. Comparable properties of similar size, character and location are analyzed and carefully weighed against all the respective advantages and disadvantages of each property in order to arrive at a fair comparison of capital values. Physical condition, location and economic characteristics are important criteria to be analysed when comparing to the properties.

We have valued the property interest of property no. 7 by Income Approach as the unexpired land use term of this property is relatively short. Our valuation is based on the capitalization of the net potential income of the property. A current market rent and a current market yield of approximately 6% was adopted after considering the similar comparable properties in the same district.

We have valued the property interests in Group II on the basis that it will be developed and completed in accordance with the latest development proposal to us. In arriving at our opinion of value, we have adopted the Direct Comparison Method by making reference to the comparable sales transaction and asking prices as available in the relevant market and have also taken into account the expended construction costs and the costs that will be expended to complete the development to reflect the quality of the completed development.

We have also attributed no commercial value to the property interests in Group IV and Group V due either to the short-term nature of the leases or the prohibition against assignment or sub-letting or otherwise due to the lack of substantial profit rents.

Title and Assumptions

We have been provided with copies of extracts of title documents relating to the properties. However, we have not caused title searches to be made for the property interest at the relevant government bureaus in the PRC and we have not inspected the original documents to verify the ownership, encumbrances or the existence of any subsequent amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us. In undertaking our valuation for the property interest in the PRC, we have relied on the legal opinion (“the PRC legal opinion”) provided by the Company’s PRC legal adviser, W & H Law Firm.

APPENDIX III

POTENTIAL TAX LIABILITIES

For the purpose of compliance with Rule 11.3 of The Codes on Takeovers and Mergers and as advised by the Group, since all the properties held by the Group are not intended for sale, therefore, the potential tax liability is not applicable to the Group’s properties.

Source of Information

We have relied to a considerable extent on information given by the Group, in particular, but not limited to, planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, site and floor areas. No on-site measurement has been taken. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificate are only approximations. We have taken every reasonable care both during inspecting the information provided to us and in making relevant enquiries. We have no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Group, which is material to the valuation. We were also advised by the Group that no material facts have been omitted from the information provided to us.

Site Inspections

Site inspection of the properties was carried by Mr. Bond Lai, with over one year valuation experience, in June 2016. We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the interior of the properties. We have not inspected those parts of the properties which were covered, unexposed or inaccessible and such parts have been assumed to be in reasonable condition. 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 plan handed to us are correct. All documents and contracts have been used as reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximations.

In the course of our inspection, we did not notice any serious defects. However, no structural survey has been made and we are therefore unable to report as to whether the properties are or not free of rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No tests have been carried out on any of the services. Neither have we carried out site investigation to determine the suitability of the ground conditions or the services for any properties development thereon. No structural survey has been carried out and it was not possible to inspect the wood work and other parts of the structures which were covered, unexposed or inaccessible. We are therefore, unable to report that the properties are free of rot, infestation or any structural defects. No tests have been carried out on any of the building services.

No allowance has been made in our valuation neither for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the property interests nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the property interests are free of encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of onerous nature which could affect their values.

Management Confirmation of Facts

A draft of this report and our calculation has been sent to the management of the Group. They have reviewed and orally confirmed to us that facts as stated in this report and calculation are accurate in all material respects and that they are not aware of any material matters relevant to our engagement which have been excluded.
