The Group initially intended to acquire 40% of the entire issued share capital of Tongda Fuso HK from Meijitsu Tongda, which will result in the Group obtaining a majority attributable equity interests in Tongda Fuso Group. However, Nagoya Jitsugyo has voted against such proposed transfer to the Group and as a result, 40% of the entire issued share capital of Tongda Fuso HK was then transferred to Tongda Shanghai, which was owned by E-Growth at the time.

11

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Prior to the Previous Transaction, the directors nominated by Nagoya Jitsugyo were responsible for the management and operations of Tongda Fuso Group. Upon completion of the Previous Transaction, Tongda Shanghai nominated certain senior management to Tongda Fuso Group and the operations, profitability and financial position of Tongda Fuso Group had improved since.

As Meijitsu Tongda is an associated company of the Group and not a subsidiary of the Company, the Previous Transaction is not considered to be a transaction involving the Group. As such, the Previous Transaction does not constitute a notifiable and/or connected transaction on the part of the Company.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Meijitsu Tongda and Tongda Shanghai holds 60% and 40% of the entire issued share capital of Tongda Fuso HK respectively. As Meijitsu Tongda is an associated company of the Group, the Company’s interests in Tongda Fuso HK was accounted for by equity method prior to Completion.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE ACQUISITION

It is estimated that both the total assets and total liabilities of the Group will increase upon Completion as the assets and liabilities of Tongda Shanghai Group will be consolidated into that of the Group, but the Acquisition will not have any material adverse effect on the overall net assets position of the Group.

Immediately upon Completion, the results of Tongda Shanghai Group will be consolidated with that of the Group. Given the existing size of Tongda Shanghai Group in comparison with that of the Group, there will not be any material effect on the current earnings of the Group, though it is expected that Tongda Shanghai Group, will contribute positively to the results of the Group in future.

REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITION

As at the date hereof, the Group is principally engaged in the manufacture and sale of electronic products, electrical accessories, ironware products, and electrical appliances in the PRC.

Keeping in pace with market needs and industry development trend, the Group has been phasing out traditional and low margin products gradually and focusing on high value-added products such as inmould lamination products for notebook computers, which made substantial progress during the year. The notebook business related products, which formally started to manufacture during 2008, attracted satisfactory orders, showing strong potential in becoming a major growth driver of the Group.

Market data has the average annual growth rate of the notebook computer market between 2009 and 2012 estimated at approximately 10%, meaning the market has huge growth potential. Seeing the constantly rising demand for notebook computers in stylish casings, the Group has injected more resources into developing the business segment. Looking ahead, notebook computer casings are expected to continue to provide the Group with strong growth momentum.

The Directors expect that the prices of industrial properties in Shanghai will continue to increase in the future. As such, the Directors consider that the Acquisition represents a good opportunity for the Group to acquire the Property in Shanghai, while the price of the property market for industrial properties in Shanghai has not reached its peak. Shanghai is also in close proximity with a number of the Group’s customers which are major computer manufacturers. Given the expected growth in the notebook computer market, the Group intends to construct further production facilities at the Property to increase its production capacity on notebook computer casting should the circumstances so warrant in the future. As the current production capacity of other production facilities of the Group is not saturated, the Group intends to continue to lease the Property to an Independent Third Party upon Completion. The Group has considered acquiring the Property alone instead of the Sale Shares and the Sale Loan, however, such acquisition of the Property will involve more complicated, lengthy and costly procedures in the PRC. In addition to the acquisition of the Property, the Group will also be required to enter into an additional agreement for the acquisition of the 40% equity interests in Tongda Fuso HK with Tongda Shanghai.

13

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As (i) upon the change in management of Tongda Fuso Group, the Directors consider that the profitability of the business of Tongda Fuso Group will further improve; and (ii) the consideration for 40% entity interests of Tongda Fuso HK was determined with reference to the original consideration of RMB2,800,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$3,182,000) paid by Tongda Shanghai in the Previous Transaction, even though the operations, profitability and financial position of Tongda Fuso Group had improved since the completion of the Previous Transaction, the Board consider, that the Acquisition also represents a good opportunity for the Group to increase its attributable interests in Tongda Fuso HK. Upon Completion, the Group will be interested in 70% attributable interests in Tongda Fuso HK. As Tongda Fuso Shanghai is principally engaged in the production of electric appliances labels, including computer labels, the Directors also consider that the Acquisition will provide a synergy effect to the Group.

Taking into account of the aforesaid reasons, the Directors consider that terms of the Acquisition is fair and reasonable and the Acquisition is in the interests of the Shareholders and the Company as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATION

The Acquisition constitutes a discloseable transaction on the part of the Company.

LETTER OF ADVICE FROM AMPLE CAPITAL

PRINCIPAL FACTORS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion in relation to the Acquisition we have taken into consideration the following factors:

1. Background information

As mentioned earlier, the Group is principally engaged in design, manufacture and sale of components and accessories for electrical and electronic appliances. The table below summarises the certain key financial information as extracted from the Group’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2008 (the “ Annual Report ”).

Year ended 31 December Year ended 31 December
2007 2008
HK$’000 HK$’000
(audited) (audited)
Turnover 1,139,540 1,393,843
Net profit attributable to Shareholders 174,818 65,301
Total assets_(as at period end)_ 1,677,384 2,073,015
Total liabilities_(as at period end)_ 538,983 857,683
Net assets_(as at period end)_ 1,138,401 1,215,332

We note that the Company recorded a consolidated turnover of approximately HK$1,393,843,000 for the year ended 31 December 2008, representing an approximately 22.32% increase when compared with the consolidated turnover of approximately HK$1,139,540,000 recorded during the year ended 31 December 2007. In the Annual Report, the Directors attribute the increase in the turnover for the year ended 31 December 2008 to the success of the strategy of the Group to the development of the notebook computer casings business, the support from internationally-renowned customers, and the newly acquired subsidiary. During the year ended 31 December 2008, the Company also experienced a decrease of its consolidated profit attributable to Shareholders to approximately HK$65,301,000, an amount which is approximately 62.65% lower than the consolidated profit attributable to Shareholders of approximately HK$174,818,000 recorded during the year ended 31 December 2007. The Directors attribute the drop in profit for the year ended 31 December 2008 to (i) a drop in gross profit margin as the result of the year-onyear decrease in average selling price of the Group’s products; and (ii) an increase in operation costs, such as raw material costs, direct labour expenses and depreciation. As at 31 December 2008, the Company had consolidated total assets, total liabilities and net assets of approximately HK$2,073,015,000, approximately HK$857,683,000 and approximately HK$1,215,332,000 respectively.

2. Information on the Tongda Shanghai Group

As shown in the Board Letter, Tongda Shanghai is a company incorporated in Hong Kong on 25 May 2001 and is principally engaged in investment holding. Tongda Fuso HK is a company incorporated in Hong Kong on 28 February 2003 and is principally engaged in investment holding. Tongda Fuso Shanghai was established in the PRC on 5 September 2003 and is principally engaged in the production and sale of self-adhesive labels, electric appliances and car labels and parts. Tongda Electric Appliances was established in the PRC on 5 July 2002 and is principally engaged in the production and sale of electric appliances parts, electric appliances plastic parts and metal moulds. The principal asset of Tongda Electric Appliances is the Property. Selected key financial information of the Tongda Shanghai Group as extracted from the Circular is set out below:

Seven months

2007 2008 2009
HK$’000 HK$’000 HK$’000

Total liabilities_(as at period end)_ 12,828 18,022 19,043
Net liabilities_(as at period end)_ 2,071 1,811 911

As illustrated above, Tongda Shanghai Group’s consolidated revenue was approximately HK$455,000 for the seven months ended 31 July 2009. The senior management of Tongda Shanghai Group attributes the revenue to the completion of the building within the Property and the 2-month rents received from June 2009. In addition, the Tongda Shanghai Group recorded a consolidated net profit of approximately HK$900,000 for the seven months ended 31 July 2009. The senior management of Tongda Shanghai Group attributes the net profit to the rental income received and the share of profit of associates. As at 31 July 2009, Tongda Shanghai Group had consolidated total assets, consolidated total liabilities, and consolidated net liabilities of approximately HK$18,133,000, approximately HK$19,043,000, and approximately HK$911,000 respectively.

From the financial information stated above, we note that Tongda Shanghai Group recorded zero turnovers for the two years ended 31 December 2007 and 2008. We have discussed with the senior management of Tongda Shanghai Group, and understand that the building within Property was under construction for the two years ended 31 December 2007 and 2008, and therefore, no revenues were recorded for these two periods. We note that Tongda Shanghai Group recorded a consolidated net loss of approximately HK$394,000 for the year ended 31 December 2008 as compared with a consolidated net loss of approximately HK$3,419,000 for the year ended 31 December 2007. The senior management of Tongda Shanghai Group attributes the net losses for the two years 31 December 2007 and 2008 to the expenses, such salaries, office expenses, electricity,

21

LETTER OF ADVICE FROM AMPLE CAPITAL

and etc., incurred. As at 31 December 2008, Tongda Shanghai Group had consolidated total assets of approximately HK$16,211,000, an increase of approximately HK$5,454,000 from year ended 31 December 2007. During the year ended 31 December 2008, Tongda Shanghai Group experienced a decrease of its consolidated net liabilities to approximately HK$1,811,000, an amount which is approximately 12.55% lower than the consolidated net liabilities of approximately HK$2,071,000 during the year ended 31 December 2007.

It is stated in the Board Letter that the principal asset of Tongda Electric Appliances, which is wholly-owned by Tongda Shanghai Group, is the Property. The Property is a parcel of land and two blocks of industrial/dormitory buildings situated at No. 555 Shenglong Road, Jiuting Town, Songjiang District, Shanghai, the PRC. The site area of the parcel of land is approximately 15,643 square metres and the total gross floor area of the buildings is approximately 9,617 square metres. Shanghai Tongda acquired the parcel of land of the Property from 上海市松江區房屋 管理局 (Shanghai Songjiang Building Management Bureau) in 2004 for a total consideration of approximately RMB2,034,000. The aggregate construction cost of the buildings of the Property is approximately RMB8,109,000.

The Property is currently leased to a tenant who is an Independent Third Party. The term of such lease is one year from 1 June 2009 and shall end on 31 May 2010. The rent under such lease is RMB200,000 per month. Upon Completion, the Group intends to continue to lease the Property to such Independent Third Party at least until the end of the term of such lease. As per the Castores Valuation Report set out in Appendix I to the Circular. As the value of the Property is approximately HK$68,182,000 at 31 July 2009.

3. Reasons for the Acquisition

As mentioned in the Board Letter, the Group is principally engaged in the manufacture and sale of electronic products, electrical accessories, ironware products, and electrical appliances in the PRC.

Keeping in pace with market needs and industry development trend, the Group has been phasing out traditional and low margin products gradually and focusing on high added value products such as in-mould lamination products for notebook computers, which made substantial progress during the year. The notebook business related products, which formally started to manufacture during 2008, attracted satisfactory orders, showing strong potential in becoming a major growth driver of the Group.

Market data has the average annual growth rate of the notebook computer market between 2009 and 2012 estimated at approximately 10%, meaning the market has huge potential. Seeing the constantly rising demand for notebook computers in stylish casings, the Group has injected more resources into developing the business segment. Looking ahead, notebook computer casings are expected to continue to provide the Group with strong growth momentum.

The Directors expect that the prices of industrial properties in Shanghai will continue to increase in the future. As such, the Directors consider that the Acquisition represents a good opportunity for the Group to acquire the Property in Shanghai, while the price of the property market for industrial properties in Shanghai has not reached its peak. Shanghai is also in close

22

LETTER OF ADVICE FROM AMPLE CAPITAL

proximity with a number of the Group’s customers which are major computer manufacturers. Given the expected growth in the notebook computer market, the Group intends to construct further production facilities at the Property to increase its production capacity on notebook computer casting should the circumstances so warrant in the future. As the current production capacity of other production facilities of the Group is not saturated, the Group intends to continue to lease the Property to an Independent Third Party upon Completion. The Group has considered acquiring the Property alone instead of the Sale Shares and the Sale Loan, however, such acquisition of the Property will involve more complicated, lengthy and costly procedures in the PRC. In addition to the acquisition of the Property, the Group will also be required to enter into an additional agreement for the acquisition of the 40% equity interests in Tongda Fuso HK with Tongda Shanghai.

As (i) upon the change in management of Tongda Fuso Group, the Directors consider that the profitability of the businesses of Tongda Fuso Group will further improve; and (ii) the consideration for 40% entity interests of Tongda Fuso HK was determined with reference to the original consideration of RMB2,800,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$3,182,000) paid by Tongda Shanghai in the Previous Transaction, even though the operations, profitability and financial position of Tongda Fuso Group had improved since the completion of the Previous Transaction, the Board considers, that the Acquisition also represents a good opportunity for the Group to increase its attributable interests in Tongda Fuso HK. Upon Completion, the Group will be interested in 70% attributable interests in Tongda Fuso HK. As Tongda Fuso Shanghai is principally engaged in the production of electric appliances labels, including computer labels, the Directors also consider that the Acquisition will provide a synergy effect to the Group.

4. Terms of the Agreement

4.1 The Consideration

The Consideration for the purchase of the Sale Shares and the Sale Loan is HK$71,188,000, which is satisfied upon Completion, by way of the allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares to the E-Growth at an issue price of HK$0.2405 for each Consideration Share (the “ Issue Price ”).

The Consideration of HK$71,188,000 for the Sale Shares and the Sale Loan was determined with reference to (i) the preliminary valuation of the Property as at 31 July 2009 by Castores, an independent valuer, of RMB60,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$68,182,000); and (ii) the consideration of RMB2,800,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$3,182,000) paid by Tongda Shanghai for 40% of Tongda Fuso HK in the Previous Transaction.

The Directors consider that the terms and conditions of the Acquisition are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Directors also consider the terms and conditions of the Acquisition are on normal commercial terms. Moreover, as stated in the Board Letter, the Issue Price was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between Tong Da Holdings and E-Growth after taking into account a number of factors, including the trading price of the Shares.

23

LETTER OF ADVICE FROM AMPLE CAPITAL

We note that Tongda Shanghai Group had consolidated net liabilities of approximately HK$911,000 as at 31 July 2009. We have discussed with the senior management of the Company, and understand that the value of the Property is entered into the balance sheet at cost, representing an amount of approximately RMB10,143,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$11,526,000) as at 31 July 2009. Accordingly, Tongda Shanghai Group’s financial position as at 31 July 2009 (in particular its net liabilities position) does not fully reflect the fair value of the Property as stated in the Castores Valuation Report. As per our discussion with the Group’s management, a fair value gain on the Property based on the Castores Valuation Report is expected to arise. The aforementioned fair value gain on the Property is expected to turn the consolidated net liabilities of the Tongda Shanghai Group into consolidated net assets.

Furthermore, we also note that the Sale Loan in the amount of HK$7,005,000 is to be sold under the Acquisition by E-Growth to Tong Da Holdings. We have learnt from the Group’s management that the Sale Loan is currently booked as a current liability due to E-Growth in Tongda Shanghai Group’s accounts. Such liability is expected to be eliminated in the Group’s account upon the consolidation of Tongda Shanghai Group into the Group’s account after Completion.

Based on the above, we do not consider the financial position of Tongda Shanghai Group as at 31 July 2009 (in particular its net liabilities position) fully reflects Tongda Shanghai’s existing value. Therefore, we have assessed (i) the value of the Property set out in the Castores Valuation Report and (ii) the net asset value of 40% of Tongda Fuso HK in the determination of the fairness and reasonableness of the Consideration.

4.2 The Property

Set out in Appendix I to the Circular is the Castores Valuation Report. Castores was appointed by the Company to determine the fair value of the Property on which the Consideration was based upon.

It is stated in the Castores Valuation Report that Castores has been engaged to provide its opinion on the market value of the Property as at 31 July 2009. In Castores’ investigation in arriving at the appraised market value of the Property, Castores has, among other things (i) made relevant enquiries and searches and obtained information as they consider necessary; (ii) been shown copies of various documents relating to the Property; (iii) inspected the exterior and where possible, the interior of the Property; and (iv) prepared a valuation model based on generally accepted valuation procedures and methodologies to derive its concluded value.

We note that depreciated replacement cost is the methodology used by Castores in arriving at the appraised market value of the Property. Castores considers the buildings and structures of the Property, in accordance with International Valuation Guidance Note No.8 published by the International Valuation Standards Committee, belong to the category of specialised properties, which are rarely if ever sold on the open market, except by way if a sale of a business or entity of which they are a part, due to their uniqueness, which arises from the specialised nature and design of the buildings, their configuration, size, location

24

LETTER OF ADVICE FROM AMPLE CAPITAL

or otherwise. In view of that, reliable sale comparables cannot generally be identified for specialised properties and depreciated replacement cost is the methodology used for the valuation of specialised properties. Having reviewed the Castores Valuation Report, we consider that the valuation methodology adopted in the Castores Valuation Report is fair and reasonable.

The market value of the Property as at 31 July 2009 as per the Castores Valuation Report is HK$68,216,000, comprising of (i) HK$52,159,000 attributable to the buildings and structures; and (ii) HK$16,057,000 attributable to the land use rights. The Consideration of approximately HK$68,182,000 attributable to the Property is therefore at an approximately 0.05% discount to the fair value of the Property.

4.3 The consideration for 40% of the entire issued share capital of Tongda Fuso HK (the “ TF Acquisition ”)

As stated in the Board Letter, the Consideration for the purchase of the Sale Shares and the Sale Loan is HK$71,188,000, comprising of (i) RMB60,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$68,182,000), which is the preliminary valuation of the Property as at 31 July 2009 by Castores, an independent valuer; and (ii) RMB2,800,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$3,182,000), which is the same amount paid by Tongda Shanghai for 40% of the entire issued share capital of Tongda Fuso HK in the Previous Transaction.

Selected Key financial information of the Tongda Fuso Group provided by the Company is set out below:

Seven months

As illustrated above, Tongda Fuso Group’s unaudited consolidated revenue was approximately HK$4,727,000 for the seven months ended 31 July 2009. Furthermore, the Tongda Fuso Group recorded an unaudited consolidated net profit of approximately HK$1,940,000 for the seven months ended 31 July 2009. As at 31 July 2009, Tongda Fuso

25

LETTER OF ADVICE FROM AMPLE CAPITAL

Group had unaudited consolidated total assets, consolidated total liabilities, and consolidated net assets of approximately HK$15,570,000, HK$4,235,000 and HK$11,334,000 respectively.

We note that, for the year ended 31 December 2008, Tongda Fuso Group recorded an unaudited consolidated net profit of approximately HK$2,770,000, representing an increase of approximately 878.45% from the year ended 31 December 2007. During the year ended 31 December 2008, Tongda Fuso Group experienced an increase of its unaudited consolidated total assets of approximately HK$3,108,000, rising to approximately HK$13,583,000. As at 31 December 2008, Tongda Fuso Group recorded unaudited consolidated net assets of approximately HK$9,394,000, as compared with unaudited consolidated net liabilities of approximately HK$1,330,000 as at 31 December 2007.

We have discussed with the Company and understand that the consideration for the TF Acquisition is based on 40% of the total issued share capital of Tongda Fuso Group, which is HK$3,050,252. In addition, we note that the unaudited consolidated net assets of Tongda Fuso Group were approximately HK$11,334,000 as at 31 July 2009. When considering the 40% of Tongda Fuso HK relevant to the Acquisition, the unaudited consolidated net assets is approximately HK$4,534,000. Based on our calculations, the Consideration of approximately HK$3,182,000 attributable 40% of Tongda Fuso HK is at (i) an approximately 29.81% discount to the unaudited consolidated net asset value attributable to 40% in Tongda Fuso HK and (ii) an approximately 4.32% premium over 40% of the total issued share capital of Tongda Fuso HK. More than that, we have considered the following in order to determine the fairness and the reasonableness of the RMB2,800,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$3,182,000) payable by the Company for the TF Acquisition as part of the overall Consideration for the purchase of the Sales Shares and the Sale Loan:

  • (a) The TF Acquisition is one of the terms of the Acquisition;

  • (b) The consideration is the same amount as the consideration paid by Tongda Shanghai in the Previous Transaction, and the operations, profitability and financial position of Tongda Fuso Group had improved since the completion of the Previous Transaction;

  • (c) The consideration is paid by the issue of Consideration Shares which result in no immediate cash outflow for the Company; and

  • (d) The Acquisition will provide a synergy effect to the Group upon the Completion.

  • 4.4 Conclusion regarding the Consideration

Base on the reasons discussed above, we are of the view that the Consideration payable by the Company for the Acquisition is fair and reasonable.

26

LETTER OF ADVICE FROM AMPLE CAPITAL

  • 4.5 The Consideration Shares

As set out in the Board Letter, the Consideration shall be satisfied by the Company by the way of the allotment and issue of an aggregate of 296,000,000 Consideration Shares, representing approximately 7.42% of the existing issued share capital of the Company and approximately 6.91% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares. The Issue Price of HK$0.2405 per Consideration Share represents:

  • (i) a premium of approximately 0.63% over the closing price of HK$0.239 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

  • (ii) a premium of approximately 5.02% over the average of the closing prices of HK$0.229 per Share for the last five consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;

  • (iii) a premium of approximately 7.85% over the closing price of HK$0.223 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Day; and

As illustrated above, we note that closing price of the Shares went through a generally rising trend during the Review Period, increasing from a low of HK$0.090 per Share on 12 May 2009 (i.e. the commencement of the Review Period) to a high of HK$0.255 on 3 August 2009. The average closing price of the Shares during the Review Period was approximately HK$0.146 per Share, with the Issue Price representing an approximately 64.73% premium over such average closing price. We also note that the Shares have closed below the Issue Price on 62 trading days, representing approximately 96.88% of the 64 trading days during the entire Review Period.

As for the Shares’ daily trading volume on the Stock Exchange, we note that trading activity has not been very active during the Review Period, averaging approximately 16,278,438 Shares or approximately 0.41% of the Company’s issued share capital of 3,989,800,000 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Furthermore, we have attempted to compare the Issue Price with the issue price of consideration shares under acquisitions carried out by companies listed on the Stock Exchange with underlying businesses and market capitalisation similar to that of the Company. However, we have not been able to identify any such cases, i.e. acquisitions involving the issue of considerations shares with same parameters, such as type of transaction, size of the companies, percentage of consideration shares to be issued, etc.

28

LETTER OF ADVICE FROM AMPLE CAPITAL

Although the Issue Price represents a discount to the net asset value per Share, we consider that the Issue Price, which represents a premium over (i) the closing price as at the last trading day; (ii) the average of the closing prices for the last five consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day; and (iii) the average closing price of the Shares during the Review Period, is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

4.6 Dilution effect on shareholding of Shareholders

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the public Shareholders were interested in approximately 46.21% of the issued share capital of the Company. If the Acquisition is approved and becomes unconditional, the Company will issue 296,000,000 Consideration Shares to the E-Growth, representing approximately 7.42% of the existing issued share capital of the Company and approximately 6.91% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares.

Assuming that the Acquisition is approved and becomes unconditional, the aggregate shareholding interests of the Independent Shareholders in the Company will be reduce to approximately 43.02%, representing a dilution of approximately 6.91% from their existing holdings of approximately 46.21%. Having considered (i) the Acquisition represents an opportunity for the Group to acquire the Property in Shanghai and (ii) the Issue Price for the Consideration Shares is fair and reasonable from base on the analysis conducted above, we are of the view that the dilution on the shareholding interests of the Independent Shareholders in the Company is acceptable.

5. Financial effects of the Acquisition

5.1 Earnings

The Annual Report states that the Group recorded profit attributable to Shareholders of approximately HK$65,301,000 during the year ended 31 December 2008. With the reference to the unaudited financial information of Tongda Shanghai Group, Tongda Shanghai Group recorded a net loss of approximately HK$394,000 during the year ended 31 December 2008. Upon Completion, it is expected that the Acquisition would enhance earning capabilities of the Group, subject to the actual operating performance of the Target Group in the future as we also note that for the seven months ended 31 July 2009, Tongda Shanghai Group recorded a net profit of approximately HK$900,000.

29

LETTER OF ADVICE FROM AMPLE CAPITAL

5.2 Net asset value

According to the Annual Report, the net asset value of the Group was approximately HK$1,215,332,000 as at 31 December 2008. With the reference to the unaudited financial statement provided by the Company, Tongda Shanghai Group had net liabilities of HK$1,811,000. As mentioned earlier, we have discussed with the senior management of the Company, and understand that the value of the Property is entered into the balance sheet at cost, representing an amount of approximately RMB10,143,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$11,526,000) as at 31 July 2009. Accordingly, Tongda Shanghai Group’s financial position as at 31 July 2009 (in particular its net liabilities position) does not fully reflect the fair value of the Property as stated in the Castores Valuation Report. As per our discussion with the Group’s management, a fair value gain on the Property based on the Castores Valuation Report is expected to arise. The aforementioned fair value gain on the Property is expected to turn the consolidated net liabilities of the Tongda Shanghai Group into consolidated net assets. If the net asset value of Tongda Shanghai Group after the fair value gain is greater than the Consideration, the Acquisition is expected to result in a positive impact to the Group’s net asset value, and vice versa.

5.3 Gearing

With the reference to the Annual Report, the Group had total debts of approximately HK$382,112,000 as at 31 December 2008 (comprised of interest-bearing bank borrowings of approximately HK$382,112,000). In addition, it had total assets of approximately HK$2,073,015,000. Accordingly, the gearing ratio (total debts/total assets x 100%) of the Group as at 31 December 2008 was approximately 18.43%. Base on the unaudited financial statement provided by the Company, if the Acquisition is approved and becomes unconditional, we do not expect that the Acquisition would increase the Group’s gearing ratio significantly.

5.4 Liquidity

The Annual Report states that the Group had current assets and current liabilities of approximately HK$1,190,660,000 and approximately HK$642,721,000 respectively as at 31 December 2008, translating into a current ratio (current assets/current liabilities) of approximately 1.85. Upon Completion, we do not expect that the Acquisition would significantly reduce the Group’s net current ratio after reviewing the unaudited financial statement provided by the Company.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned analyses are for illustrative purpose only and does not purport to represent how the financial position of the Group will be upon Completion of the Acquisition.

30

LETTER OF ADVICE FROM AMPLE CAPITAL

CONCLUSION

Having considered the above principal factors, we are of the opinion that the terms of the Acquisition (including the issue of Consideration Shares) are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. In addition, we consider that the Acquisition (including the issue of Consideration Shares) is on normal commercial terms and in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group. Accordingly, we would recommend (1) the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders and (2) the Independent Shareholders, to vote in favour of the ordinary resolutions to approve the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder including the Acquisition (including the issue and allotment of the Conversion Shares) at the EGM.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of Ample Capital Limited H. W. Tang President

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX I

The following is the text of a letter and valuation certificate, prepared for the purpose of incorporation in this circular received from Castores, an independent valuer, in connection with its valuation as at 31 July 2009 of the Property.

Suite 211 China Insurance Group Building 141 Des Voeux Road Central Hong Kong

4 September 2009

The Director Tongda Group Holdings Limited Room 1201-03 12th Floor Shui On Centre 6-8 Harbour Centre Wanchai Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

In accordance with your instructions to value the property to be acquired by Tongda Group Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together the “Group”), we confirm that we have made relevant enquiries and searches and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the value of the property as at 31 July 2009 (“date of valuation”).

Our valuation of the property interest is our opinion of Market Value which we would define as “the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.” Market Value is understood as the value of an asset estimate without regard to costs of sale or purchase and without offset for any associated taxes.

Our valuation of the property has been made on the assumption that the owner sells the property on the market in its existing state without the benefit of a deferred term contracts, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement which would serve to increase the value of the property.

32

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX I

In accordance with International Valuation Guidance Note No. 8 published by The International Valuation Standards Committee, the buildings and structures of the property belong to the category of specialized properties, which are rarely if ever sold on the open market, except by way of a sale of the business or entity of which they are a part, due to their uniqueness, which arises from the specialized nature and design of the buildings, their configuration, size, location or otherwise. Consequently, reliable sale comparables cannot generally be identified for specialized properties.

Our valuation of buildings and structures of the property is on the basis of Depreciated Replacement Cost which is used for the valuation of specialized properties. Depreciated Replacement Cost is defined as “the current cost of replacement (reproduction) of a property less deductions for physical deterioration and all relevant forms of obsolescence and optimization”. It is a method used in financial reporting to arrive at a surrogate for the market value of specialized and limited market properties, for which market evidence is unavailable. Depreciated Replacement Cost is based on an estimate of the current gross replacement (reproduction) costs of the improvements, less allowance for physical deterioration and all relevant forms of obsolescence and optimization.

In arriving at the capital value of the property, we have made the summation of the market value of the land use rights and the depreciated replacement cost of the buildings and structures as at the date of valuation.

The current status of the property interest regarding major approvals, consents or licenses required in the People’s Republic of China (the“PRC”) is set out as follows:

Document/Approval

State-owned Land Use Rights Grant Contract Yes
Certificate of Real Estate Ownership Yes

In valuing the property in the PRC, we have complied with all the requirements contained in Chapter 5 and the Practice Note No. 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

In valuing the property interest, we have adopted the basis of valuation and have made the valuation assumptions in accordance with the HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (First Edition 2005) published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.

We have relied to a considerable extent on the information provided by the Group and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenure, occupation, lettings, rental, site and floor areas and all other relevant matters.

33

APPENDIX I

VALUATION REPORT

We have not carried out detailed site measurements to verify the correctness of the site areas in respect of the property but have assumed that the site areas shown on the documents and official site plans handed to us are correct. Based on our valuation experience of similar properties in the PRC, we consider the assumptions so made to be reasonable. All documents and contracts have been used as reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximations. No on-site measurements have been taken.

We have inspected the exterior and where possible, the interior of the property, in respect of which we have been provided with such information as we have required for the purpose of our valuation. However, no structural survey, investigation or examination have been made. We are not, however, able to report that the property was free from rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No tests were carried out to any of the services.

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

We have been shown copies of various documents relating to the property. However, we have not searched the original documents to verify any amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us. Due to restrictions of the land registration system in the PRC, we are unable to search the original documents to verify the existing title of the property in the PRC or any material encumbrances that might be attached to the property.

The scope of valuation has been determined with reference to the property list provided by the Group. The property on the list has been included in this valuation certificate.

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

Unless otherwise stated, all monetary amounts stated in this valuation certificate are in Hong Kong Dollar. The exchange rate adopted in our valuation was the exchange rate prevailing as at the date of valuation which was HK$1=RMB0.88 and there has been no significant fluctuation in the exchange rate between the date of valuation and the date of this report.

The conclusion of value is based on generally accepted valuation procedures and practices that rely extensively on assumptions and considerations, not all of which can be easily quantified or ascertained exactly. While we have exercised our professional judgment in arriving at the valuation, you are urged to consider carefully the nature of such assumptions which are disclosed in this report and should exercise caution when interpreting this report.
