LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(iv) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consideration Shares.

INCREASE OF REGISTERED CAPITAL OF KONGYUE INFORMATION

The Board resolved to, upon completion of the S&P Agreement, increase the registered capital of Kongyue Information, by RMB62.4 million (approximately HK$60.0 million) equivalent to the valuation of the Properties from RMB99.6 million (approximately HK$95.8 million) to RMB162.0 million (approximately HK$155.8 million). Such increase will be contributed by Kong Yue Investment and Jiangmen Information in proportion to their respective shareholding interest in Kongyue Information by way of injection of their respective interest in the Properties.

The principal activities of Kongyue Information are manufacturing and sales of business equipment and tax control equipment in the PRC. Kongyue Information is currently owned as to 95% by Kong Yue Investment and 5% by Jiangmen Information. For the two years ended 31 December 2005, Kongyue Information had audited net profit (before tax and extraordinary items) of approximately RMB35.7 million (approximately HK$34.3 million) and approximately RMB42.5 million (approximately HK$40.9 million) respectively. During the same period, Kongyue Information had audited net profit (after tax and extraordinary items) of approximately RMB31.6 million (approximately HK$30.4 million) and approximately RMB38.3 million (approximately HK$36.8 million) respectively. During the same period, Kongyue Information recorded audited net asset value of approximately RMB128.1 million (approximately HK$123.2 million) and approximately RMB166.1 million (approximately HK$159.7 million) respectively.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFIT OF ACQUISITION AND INCREASE OF REGISTERED CAPITAL OF KONGYUE INFORMATION

The Group is principally engaged in the provision of business equipment and tax control equipment in the PRC and has actively anticipated in the tender of the Golden Tax Project (the ‘‘Project’’) through Kongyue Information. The Project is the auditing and checking system that connects all tax authorities in the PRC through the Internet to monitor tax payments from corporate taxpayers at all levels. The third phase of the Project commenced in early 2006 which required sizeable retailers and service providers with fixed outlets to purchase and use tax control electronic cash registers to facilitate the tax assessment and review of the PRC Tax Bureau. Around 30 provinces in the PRC have begun to invite tender for tax control equipment. The Group through Kongyue Information won the bid in Guangdong Province in early 2006 and was selected as one of the five suppliers of tax control equipments to retailers in the Province.

The Group currently leases the Properties from the Vendor for industrial, office, storage and other ancillary uses under three tenancy agreements for terms up to 1 September 2009, 1 May 2010 and 1 November 2012 respectively. For each of the two years ended 31 December 2005, the annual rent paid by the Group was approximately RMB3.0 million (approximately HK$2.9 million) in aggregate respectively. The Group intends to, through Kongyue Information, bid for contracts in different provinces in the PRC to further extend its market share. Details of fixed assets of the candidate, in particular, production complex, are among the information required in the tender document. The Board believes that the size of fixed asset value of a candidate is one of the major factors of the authority in selecting suppliers. As such, the Board considers that the increase in the registered capital and therefore fixed asset value of Kongyue Information through the injection of the Properties will build confidence of the authority on the strength of Kongyue Information in tax control equipment business and thus will increase the chance of Kongyue Information to be selected in tenders.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board considers that the terms of the S&P Agreement and the increase of registered share capital of Kongyue Information are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF ACQUISITION AND INCREASE OF REGISTERED CAPITAL OF KONGYUE INFORMATION

The registered capital of Kongyue Information will be increased by way of injection of the Properties upon completion of the Acquisition. The consideration for the Properties will be satisfied by way of cash and issue of Consideration Shares. The cash consideration is expected to be financed by the net proceeds of the Subscription and therefore would not affect the working capital position of the Group. Taking into account such amount of net proceeds of the Subscription, the total assets and net assets of the Group will be increased by approximately RMB62.4 million (approximately HK$60 million) immediately following the completion of the Acquisition and the increase of the registered capital of Kongyue Information, attributable to the increase in non-current assets of RMB62.4 million, which is equivalent to the aggregate consideration of the Properties. The 5% of the Properties owned by Jiangmen Information will be reflected by the increase in the minority interest shown in the consolidated balance sheet of the Group. The Properties are expected to continue to be used by the Group as production complex and warehouse and thus are not expected to generate any recurrent income to the Group.

The Acquisition itself is not expected to have any material impact on the profit and loss of the Group. The respective tenancy agreements pursuant to which the Group leases the Properties from the Vendor will be terminated after completion of the Acquisition. The Board expects that, after completion of the Acquisition, the Group would incur an annual depreciation cost on the Properties of an amount similar to the annual rent paid by the Group during the two years ended 31 December 2005.

Save as disclosed above, the Board is of the opinion that there is no material effect on the earnings, assets and liabilities of the Group as a result of the Acquisition and the increase of registered capital of Kongyue Information.

EFFECT ON THE SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company was HK$100,000,000 divided into 10,000,000,000 Shares, of which 583,000,000 fully paid Shares were in issue. The shareholding structure of the Company immediately before and after the Acquisition are summarised as follows (Note 1):

LETTER FROM CHINA EVERBRIGHT

The following is the full text of a letter received from China Everbright setting out its advice to the Independent Board Committee and the independent Shareholders in respect of the S&P Agreement and the transactions (‘‘Transactions’’) contemplated by the S&P Agreement for inclusion in this Circular.

China Everbright Capital Limited

40/F., Far East Finance Centre 16 Harcourt Road Hong Kong

21 August 2006

To the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders of Jolimark Holdings Limited

Dear Sirs,

DISCLOSEABLE AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION: ACQUISITION OF THE PROPERTIES

We refer to our appointment as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Transactions and the terms of the S&P Agreement. Details of the Transactions are set out in a circular (the ‘‘Circular’’) of Jolimark Holdings Limited to the Shareholders dated 21 August 2006, of which this letter forms part. Unless otherwise defined, expressions used in this letter have the same meanings as defined in the Circular.

On 31 July 2006, the Company announced that Kong Yue Investment, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Jiangmen Information, the Company and the Vendor had entered into the conditional S&P Agreement for the acquisition of the Properties at a consideration of RMB62.4 million (approximately HK$60.0 million).

The Vendor is a WFOE owned by Kong Yue Holding Limited which is owned as to (i) 36% by Mr. Au Pak Yin, a Director and a substantial shareholder of Kytronics Holdings, and (ii) 32% by each of Mr. Ao Kao and Mr. Ao Pak U, both of whom are brothers of Mr. Au Pak Yin. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Kytronics Holdings is the controlling shareholder of the Company. Pursuant to the Listing Rules, the Vendor is therefore a connected person of the Company. Accordingly, the Transactions constitutes a discloseable and connected transaction for the Company under Chapters 14 and 14A of the Listing Rules and is subject to approval by the Independent Shareholders at the EGM. Kytronics Holdings and its associates will abstain from voting on the ordinary resolution proposed at the EGM.

China Everbright is a third party independent from the Company and connected persons as defined under the Listing Rules, and therefore is qualified to give independent advice to the Independent Board Committee and Independent Shareholders.

In formulating our opinion, we have relied on the accuracy of the information and representations provided to us by the Company and contained in the Circular, and have assumed that all information and representations made or referred to in the Circular were true at the time they were made and continue to be

— 13 —

LETTER FROM CHINA EVERBRIGHT

true as at the date of the Circular. We have also assumed that all statements of belief, opinion and intention made by the Directors in the Circular were reasonably made after due inquiry. We consider that we have reviewed sufficient information to reach an informed view, to justify relying on the accuracy of the information contained in the Circular and to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. We have no reason to suspect that any material facts have been omitted or withheld from the information contained or opinion expressed in the Circular nor to doubt the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information and representations provided to us by the Directors.

We have also reviewed the independent valuation report prepared by DTZ Debenham Tie Leung Limited (‘‘DTZ’’) in respect of the Properties as set out in Appendix I to the Circular (the ‘‘Valuation Report’’). We also had the opportunity to discuss with DTZ the valuation of the Properties prepared by it. We have reasons to believe that the opinion given by DTZ has been prepared with due care and consideration.

However, we have not made any independent valuation of the Properties nor have we conducted any independent in-depth investigation into the business and affairs of the Group or any of the subsidiaries or associates.

PRINCIPAL REASONS AND FACTORS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our recommendation to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Transactions, we have considered the following principal reasons and factors:

(i) Background of the Group

The Group is principally engaged in the provision of business equipment and tax control equipment in the PRC and has actively participated in the tender of the third phase of the Golden Tax Project through Kong Yue Information, a limited liability company established in the PRC and owned as to (i) 95% by Kong Yue Investment, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; and (ii) 5% by Jiangmen Information.

According to the Company’s prospectus (‘‘Prospectus’’) dated 20 June 2005, the Properties are the Group’s sole operating premises which are located at 18 Jiangyue Road, Jinguzhou Economic Development Zone, Xinhui District, Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, the PRC. The Group does not own but instead leases the Properties from the Vendor for fixed terms and are subject to options to renew/purchase and first right of refusal in favour of the Group.

According to the 2005 annual report of the Company, approximately 30 provinces in the PRC have commenced to invite tenders for provision of tax control equipment under the third phase of the Golden Tax Project. Guangdong is the first province in the PRC to complete the tender process, and Kong Yue Information has been selected by Guangdong Provincial Office as one of the tax control equipment providers in early 2006. Most of the provinces in the PRC are expected to close tender within 2006.

(ii) Strategic rationale

As abovementioned, the Group has actively participated in the tenders of the third phase of the Golden Tax Project. Kongyue Information won the bid in Guangdong Province in early 2006 and was selected as one of the five suppliers of tax control equipment in Guangdong Province. The Group has submitted and will continue to submit tenders to different provinces in the PRC for provision of tax control equipment. As advised by the Directors, the relevant authorities will select bidders, whom it

— 14 —

LETTER FROM CHINA EVERBRIGHT

considers are able to provide reliable and high quality tax control equipment, after taking into account all relevant factors including (i) research and development capability; (ii) size of fixed assets; (iii) production capacity; (iv) production complex; and (v) after-sales service network of bidders.

As set out in the Letter from the Board, the Group intends to acquire the Properties for injection into Kongyue Information. The Directors consider that the Transactions will (i) allow the Group to own its production complex situated in Jiangmen and (ii) strengthen the Group’s fixed assets value, which will increase the chances of Kong Yue Information being selected in tenders.

We received from the Company copies of tender documents from (Guangdong Province National Tax Bureau) (‘‘Guangdong tender document’’) and (Hunan Province Direct Government Purchase Centre) (‘‘Hunan tender document’’). Upon review, we note that Guangdong tender document specifies fixed assets register as a requisite document among the tender submission document. We also note from the Hunan tender document that fixed assets value of bidders is one of the relevant factors considered by (Hunan Province Direct Government Purchase Centre) under its scoring system. Based on the above, we concur with the Directors’ view that the Transactions will increase the chances of Kong Yue Information being selected in tenders for tax control equipment.

Taking into account the above; and (i) the Group is a manufacturing enterprise which does not own its sole operating premises situated in Jiangmen, we consider that the Transactions are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholder and the Company as a whole.

(iii) The properties to be acquired

Kong Yue Investment and Jiangmen Information agreed to acquire, and the Vendor agreed to sell, the Properties, comprising the land use right of a parcel of land with a site area of 37,270 sq.m. located at 18 Jiangyue Road, Jinguzhou Economic Development Zone, Xinhui District, Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, the PRC, together with the buildings erected thereon as set out below:

  • A 4-storey industrial complex with a total gross floor area of 29,693.38 sq.m. and a 5- storey dormitory building with a total gross floor area of 4,361.36 sq.m. which are owned by the Vendor and are currently leased to the Group for industrial, office and other ancillary uses; and

  • A single-storey warehouse with a total gross floor area of 5,143 sq.m. which is owned by the Vendor and is currently leased to the Group for storage use.

(iv) The S&P Agreement

Consideration

As set out in the Letter from the Board, the consideration (‘‘Consideration’’) of the Acquisition amounted to approximately RMB62.4 million, representing approximately HK$60 million, was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations, taking into account the independent valuation of the Properties as at 30 June 2006 performed by DTZ of approximately RMB62.4 million, representing approximately HK$60 million. We have discussed the property valuation with DTZ to understand the valuation methodology used.

The Consideration will be satisfied as to 95% by the Company and 5% by Jiangmen Information. The Company will satisfy its portion of consideration amounting to RMB59.3 million (approximately HK$57.0 million) (i) by cash of approximately RMB27.2 million

— 15 —

LETTER FROM CHINA EVERBRIGHT

(approximately HK$26.2 million), which is expected to be financed by proceeds of the Subscription, payable to the Vendor within a year following the date of completion of the S&P Agreement; and (ii) by the issue of 23,000,000 Consideration Shares at the issue price of HK$1.34 per Consideration Share to Kytronics Holdings at the completion of the S&P Agreement.

Jiangmen Information will satisfy its portion of consideration amounting to approximately RMB3.1 million (approximately HK$3.0 million) by cash payable to the Vendor within a year following the completion of the S&P Agreement.

Basis of the Consideration

According to the Appendix I of the Circular, the independent valuation was prepared in existing state basis and adopted the Depreciated Replacement Costs (‘‘DRC’’) Approach. It is an estimate of the market value for the existing use of the land, plus the current gross replacement costs of the buildings, less allowances for the age, condition and functional obsolescence. The DRC Approach is subject to adequate potential profitability of the business. DTZ has also complied with the requirements set out in the (i) Valuation Standards (First Edition 2005) on Valuation of Properties published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors; and (ii) Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Listing Rules.

According to our discussion with DTZ, other than DRC Approach, market comparison approach and income approach were excluded for the purpose of valuing the Properties since there is no readily identifiable market sales and rental comparables due to the specific nature and design of the Properties. DTZ considers that the DRC Approach generally furnishes a reliable indication of value for the Properties.

Upon review, we consider that the valuation methodology adopted by DTZ is generally in line with market practice of valuing the market value of tangible assets such as land and buildings.

Since the consideration of the Acquisition was determined with reference to a recent valuation of the Properties without any premium or discount, we are of the view that the Consideration is fair and reasonable and is in the interests of the Company and Independent Shareholders as a whole.

Funding of the cash consideration

The Company intends to finance the cash consideration of approximately RMB27.2 million by net proceeds from the Subscription of 23,000,000 Shares, which represent approximately 4.1% of the existing issued share capital of the Company, and approximately 3.8% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the consideration Shares and Subscription Shares. If the net proceeds from the Subscription are below approximately RMB27.2 million, the Group intends to finance the Acquisition by other means, including but not limited to internal resources, debt financing or further equity financing.

Issue of the Consideration Shares

In addition to the above cash consideration, the Company will issue the Consideration Shares at the issue price of HK$1.34 per Consideration Share to Kytronics Holdings at the completion of the S&P Agreement.

— 16 —

LETTER FROM CHINA EVERBRIGHT

We consider that the settlement of the consideration payable by the Company for the Acquisition, in form of an issue of the Consideration Shares and proceeds through the Subscription (assuming the net proceeds from the Subscription are not less than approximately RMB27.2 million), will not have any negative impact on the Group’s cashflow position. Furthermore, given that the consideration payable by the Company for the Transactions is not being financed by any external bank borrowings of the Group, we consider that there will not be any impact on the Group’s existing gearing level or any additional burden on interest costs to be borne by the Group. Taking into account the above and the cash consideration can be settled within a year following the completion of the S&P Agreement, we are of the view that the settlement of the consideration payable by the Company for the Acquisition, in form of an issue of the Consideration Shares and net proceeds from the Subscription, is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. However, Independent Shareholders should also pay attention to the dilution effect of the Consideration Shares and Subscription Shares as discussed in the section under ‘‘Financial Effect of the Acquisition’’.

The 23,000,000 Consideration Shares represent approximately 4.1% of the existing issued share capital of the Company, and approximately 3.8% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of the Consideration Shares and the Subscription Shares.

The issue price of HK$1.34 per Consideration Share represents:

  • (i) a discount of about 1.47% to the closing price of HK$1.36 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 28 July 2006 (being the last trading day prior to the publication of the Announcement);

  • (ii) a discount of about 3.60% to the average closing price of HK$1.39 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five full trading days up to and including 28 July 2006;

  • (iii) a discount of about 4.29% to the average closing price of HK$1.40 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last ten full trading days up to and including 28 July 2006;

  • (iv) a premium of about 11.67% to the closing price of HK$1.20 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date; and

  • (v) a premium of about 47.25% to the net asset value per Share of about RMB0.94 (representing approximately HK$0.91) as at 31 December 2005.

The issue price per Consideration Share, which is the same as the Placing Price and the Subscription Price, was negotiated on an arm’s length basis between the Company and the Vendor by reference to, among other things, the recent trading price of the Shares. The Board consider that the issue price is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

In order to assess the fairness and the reasonableness of the issue price of the Consideration Shares, we have looked into share placement/subscription exercises by Hong Kong listed Main Board companies in the market during the period between 1 July 2006 (being the date one month prior to the date of the S&P Agreement) and 31 July 2006 (being the date of the S&P Agreement) (the ‘‘Relevant Period’’) and identified a total of 8 share placement/ subscription exercises. We have made references to the premium/ discount of the subscription

— 17 —

LETTER FROM CHINA EVERBRIGHT

prices of those share placement/subscription exercises over/to the average closing price of the 5 trading days up to and including the respective announcement or last trading date before the respective announcement.

Out of the above 8 share placement/subscription exercises, we note that the share placement/subscription exercise carried out by SunCorp Technologies Limited had its subscription price set at a significant premium of approximately 76.06% to the average closing price for the 5 trading days up to and including the last trading date before the respective announcement. We further note that (i) the subscriber will become the single largest shareholder of SunCorp Technologies Limited; and (ii) SunCorp Technologies Limited will enter into several continuing connected transactions with the subscriber. Therefore, the pricing of its subscription shares might be distorted. As such, we consider it inappropriate to include this share placement/subscription exercise in our analysis.

The following table sets out our findings with respect to these 7 share placement/ subscription exercises:

Discount of placing
price to 5-day average
closing price up to and
Subscription Shares as including the date of
a percentage of issued the respective
share capital of the announcement/last

Note 1: Subscription Shares as a percentage of issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by placement/ subscription but before Acquisition

Note 2: Subscription Shares and Consideration Shares together as a percentage of issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by placement/subscription and after Acquisition

As illustrated above, the issue price of the Consideration Shares represents a discount of approximately 3.6% to the average closing price for the 5 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day. As the discount of issue of Consideration Shares is lower than the average figures of the comparable transactions, therefore, we consider that pricing of the Consideration Shares is justifiable and acceptable.

LETTER FROM CHINA EVERBRIGHT

(v) Financial impacts of the Acquisition

Effect on net asset value

According to the 2005 Annual Report, as at 31 December 2005, the audited net asset value of the Group is approximately RMB408.6 million. Since the Company is financing its portion of consideration by (i) cash proceeds raised from the Subscription; and (ii) the issuing of Consideration Shares, there is an increase in the fixed assets and net asset value of the Group by the size of the Properties of approximately RMB62.4 million, but no net cash outflow.

Effect on earnings

As discussed in the section headed ‘‘Strategic rationale’’ above, the Transactions will increase the chances of Kong Yue Information being selected in tenders for tax control equipment. If Kong Yue Information is selected as a supplier providing tax control equipment in different regions of the PRC, the earnings of the Group will be positively affected.

The Group currently leases the Properties from the Vendor for industrial, office, storage and other ancillary uses under three tenancy agreements for terms up to 1 September 2009, 1 May 2010 and 1 November 2012 respectively. For each of the two years ended 31 December 2005, the annual rent paid by the Group was approximately RMB3.0 million (approximately HK$2.9 million) in aggregate respectively. After the completion of the Transactions, the Company is not required to pay such annual rent to the Vendor, thus, reducing the operating cost of the Group.

However, the Shareholders should note that the Group’s depreciation expenses will increase after the Transactions, and this will partially offset the above positive impact on the Group’s future earnings.

Effects on working capital and gearing

Since the Company will satisfy its part of consideration of RMB59.3 million (i) by cash of approximately RMB27.2 million which will be raised through the issue of the Subscription Shares; and (ii) by the issue of the Consideration Shares, there is no cash outflow and therefore no effect on the working capital of the Group. Gearing of the Group will be lower due to the strengthening of the capital base through the issue of Subscription Shares and Consideration Shares.

— 19 —

LETTER FROM CHINA EVERBRIGHT

Dilution effect of shareholding

As summarized in the Letter from the Board, the issue of the Consideration Shares and Subscription Shares will result in a shareholding dilution to the existing Shareholders. Set out below is the dilutive effect on the existing Shareholders’ beneficial interests in the issued share capital of the Company as a result of completion of the (i) Transactions and (ii) the Placing and Subscription:

Beneficial Beneficial
shareholding shareholding after Beneficial
before the the Placing and shareholding after
Transactions, the Subscription, the Placing, the
Placing and but before the Dilution Subscription and Dilution
Subscription Transactions effect the Transactions effect
(%) (%) (%) (%) (%)
(= A) (= B) (=(A-B)/A) (= C) (=(A-C)/A)
Kytronics Holdings 60.48% 58.10% 3.9% 59.69% 1.3%
Legend Capital 1.93% 1.85% 4.1% 1.78% 7.8%
Public 37.59% 36.10% 4.0% 34.73% 7.6%
Placees 3.95% 3.80%

As illustrated, we noted that the beneficial shareholdings of Legend Capital and the existing public shareholders would be diluted by 7.8% and 7.6% upon completion of the Placing, the Subscription and the Transactions respectively.

Having considered that:

  • the Transactions will increase the chance of Kong Yue Information to be selected in tenders for tax control equipment;

  • the issuance of the Consideration Shares and the Subscription Shares provides noninterest bearing financial resources of approximately RMB59.3 million to the Group for financing the Transactions;

  • the pricing of the Consideration Shares is fair and reasonable in so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned; and

  • the issuance and allotment of Consideration Shares and Subscription Shares to Kytronics Holdings shows a strong and solid commitment from Kytronics Holdings,

we consider that the dilution effects on the shareholding of the Independent Shareholders are acceptable.

— 20 —

LETTER FROM CHINA EVERBRIGHT

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the above principal factors and reasons, we consider that the Transactions are in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and that the terms of the S&P Agreement, the transaction contemplated thereunder and the Special Mandate, are under normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we recommend that the Independent Shareholders vote in favour of the respective resolution to be proposed at the EGM to approve the S&P Agreement, the transaction contemplated thereunder and the Special Mandate and that the Independent Board Committee advises the Independent Shareholders accordingly.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of China Everbright Capital Limited Jacky Ho

— 22 —

VALUATION OF THE PROPERTIES

APPENDIX I

In valuing the property interest, we have assumed that transferable land use rights in respect of the property interest for the specific term at nominal annual land use fee have been granted and that any premium payable has already been fully paid. We have assumed that the grantees or the users of the property interest have free and uninterrupted rights to use or to assign the property interest for the whole of the unexpired term as granted. We are unable to ascertain the title of the property interest but have relied on the advice given by the Group regarding the title of the property interest and the Group’s interest in the property.

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

Valuation Methodology

In valuing the property to be acquired by the Group, we have valued the property in existing state basis and adopted the Depreciated Replacement Costs (‘‘DRC’’) Approach. A DRC requires a valuation of the market value of the land in its existing use and an estimate of the new replacement cost of the buildings and structures, from which deductions are made to allow for the age, condition and functional obsolescence. The DRC is subject to adequate potential profitability of the business. We have complied with requirements set out in Chapter 5 and Practice Notes 12 of the Listing Rules of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

In valuing the property interests, we have complied with the requirements set out in the Valuation Standards (First Edition 2005) on Valuation of Properties published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.

Source of Information

We have been provided with copies of documents in relation to the title to the property interest but we have not carried out searches to verify the ownership of the property interest and to ascertain any amendment, which may not appear on the copies handed to us. We have relied to considerable extent on the information given by the Group and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notice, easements, tenure, tenancy particulars, floor areas and all other relevant matters. Dimension, measurements and areas included in this valuation certificate are based on information provided to us and are therefore only approximations. We have had 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 supplied.

Some of the information provided to us are prepared in Chinese characters and their English transliterations contained in the valuation certificate attached are for reference only. We would advise you to consult your legal adviser on PRC law to ascertain the interpretation of these information.
