CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.
Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

To the Shareholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
VERY SUBSTANTIAL DISPOSAL AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION IN RELATION TO THE DISPOSAL OF THE ENTIRE INTERESTS OF A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY
AND
NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION
Reference is made to the Announcement that on 2 May 2013 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange), the Company and the Purchaser entered into the Sale and Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company conditionally agreed to dispose of the Sale Shares and the Sale Loan to the Purchaser and the Purchaser conditionally agreed to acquire the Sale Shares and the Sale Loan from the Company at an aggregate consideration of HK$122,000,000.
The Disposal as contemplated under the Sale and Purchase Agreement constitutes both a very substantial disposal and connected transaction for the Company under Chapters 19 and 20 of the GEM Listing Rules and is subject to, among other matters, the Independent Shareholders’ approval at the EGM.
5
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, details of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Disposal, the recommendation of the Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders, a letter of advice from Vinco Capital to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the transactions contemplated under the Sale and Purchase Agreement and a notice of the EGM.
THE SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT
The principal terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are set out below:
Date: 2 May 2013 Parties: (1) Buena Holdings Limited, as purchaser; and
- (2) the Company, as vendor
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, the Purchaser is an investment holding company incorporated in BVI and is wholly-owned by Mr. Yang. As the Purchaser is an associate of Mr. Yang who is a former director of the Company within the preceding 12 months, the Purchaser is a connected person of the Company under the GEM Listing Rules.
Assets to be disposed of
Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser has conditionally agreed to acquire, and the Company has conditionally agreed to sell, the Sale Shares and the Sale Loan. The Sale Shares represent the entire issued share capital of the Disposed Company. The Sale Loan represents the amount owing by the Disposed Company to the Company as at Completion. As at 31 December 2012, the Sale Loan amounted to HK$34,795,000 and such loan is unsecured, carries no interest and has no fixed term of repayment. Upon Completion, the Company will no longer have any interest in the equity capital of the Disposed Company. The Disposed Company and its subsidiaries will cease to be subsidiaries of the Company and their financial results will no longer be consolidated into the Group’s financial statements.
Consideration
The Consideration for the Sale Shares and the Sale Loan is approximately HK$122,000,000 which shall be payable by the Purchaser in the following manner:
-
(a) a sum of HK$5,000,000, being the refundable deposit and part of the Consideration, shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Company on or before 31 May 2013;
-
(b) a sum of HK$40,000,000, being the refundable deposit and part of the Consideration, shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Company on or before 14 June 2013;
-
(c) a sum of HK$50,000,000, being the refundable deposit and part of the Consideration, shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Company within 10 Business Days after the despatch of this circular; and
6
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
- (d) the remaining HK$27,000,000 shall be payable by the Purchaser to the Company upon Completion.
As advised by the Directors, the first two payments of the Consideration in an aggregate sum of HK$45,000,000 had been paid by the Purchaser to the Company on 26 June 2013.
If (i) the conditions of the Sale and Purchase Agreement (which are outlined below) have not been fulfilled on or before the Long Stop Date; or (ii) the Completion does not take place for whatsoever reason, the Company shall refund to the Purchaser all the refundable deposits (without interest) that have been paid by the Purchaser to the Company on the next Business Day following the Long Stop Date or the day when the Company and the Purchaser have mutually confirmed in writing that Completion does not take place in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Sale and Purchase Agreement (whichever is earlier), and neither party shall have any obligations and liabilities thereunder and neither party shall take any action to claim for damages or to enforce specific performance or any other rights and remedies save for any antecedent breaches of the terms thereof.
The Consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Purchaser and the Company with reference to (i) the equity interests attributable to the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Disposal Group of approximately HK$100,262,000 (which is calculated based on the unaudited net asset value of the Disposal Group of approximately HK$244,569,000 less minority interests of approximately HK$144,307,000) as at 31 December 2012; (ii) the unaudited amount of the Sale Loan of approximately HK$34,795,000 as at 31 December 2012; and (iii) approximately 9.7% discount to the sum of the equity interests attributable to the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Disposal Group and the unaudited amount of the Sale Loan as at 31 December 2012 amounting to approximately HK$135,057,000 in aggregate. The Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors who have expressed their views on the transactions contemplated under the Sale and Purchase Agreement under the section headed “Letter from the Independent Board Committee” of this circular) consider that it is fair and reasonable to set the Consideration at a discount to the sum of the equity interests attributable to the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Disposal Group and the unaudited amount of the Sale Loan as at 31 December 2012 after taken into account the followings: (i) the recent historical financial performance of the Disposal Group and in particular the Disposal Group recorded an unaudited net loss attributable to shareholders for the year ended 31 December 2012; (ii) the net current liabilities position of the Disposal Group as at 31 December 2012 which arises mainly from short-term bank borrowings and other payables due within one year; and (iii) the uncertainty the Group faces in its manufacturing and sales of loudspeaker systems business in light of the slow US economic recovery, the continuous Euro area debt crisis and the weakening PRC economic growth which have affected market demands as well as the historical high level of raw material and labour costs in the PRC. In view of the above, the Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors who have expressed their views on the transactions contemplated under the Sale and Purchase Agreement under the section headed “Letter from the Independent Board Committee” of this circular) are of the view that the Consideration is fair and reasonable.
Conditions of the Sale and Purchase Agreement
Completion of the Sale and Purchase Agreement shall be conditional upon and subject to:
- (a) the Purchaser being satisfied with the results of the due diligence review to be conducted on the Disposal Group;
7
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
-
(b) all necessary consents and approvals required to be obtained on the part of the Company in respect of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby having been obtained;
-
(c) all necessary consents and approvals required to be obtained on the part of the Purchaser in respect of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby having been obtained;
-
(d) the passing by the Independent Shareholders at the EGM approving the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder;
-
(e) if applicable, all the net debts due from the Disposal Group to the Remaining Group and vice versa, other than the Sale Loan which will be assigned by the Company at Completion, having been settled or waived in full;
-
(f) the representations, warranties and undertakings given under the Sale and Purchase Agreement remain true and accurate in all respects.
Conditions (a), (b) and (f) can be waived by the Purchaser in writing and condition (c) can be waived by the Company in writing. The necessary consents and approvals required to be obtained on the part of the Company as provided in condition (b) above mainly refer to board approval and other third parties’ consents and approvals (if any) in addition to the Independent Shareholders’ approval as provided in condition (d) above. If the above conditions have not been satisfied (or waived as the case may be) on or before 4:00 p.m. on the Long Stop Date, the Sale and Purchase Agreement shall cease and determine (save as otherwise provided therein), and thereafter neither party shall have any obligations and liabilities towards each other thereunder save for any antecedent breaches of the terms thereof. As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the conditions had been fulfilled.
Completion
Completion shall take place at 4:00 p.m. on the Completion Date, or such later date as the Company and the Purchaser may agree.
Upon Completion, the Company will cease to hold any issued share capital in the Disposed Company and the Disposed Company and its subsidiaries will cease to be subsidiaries of the Group.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
INFORMATION ON THE REMAINING GROUP
Upon Completion, the Remaining Group will be principally engaged in environmental protection related businesses mainly through its two subsidiaries, namely Heilongjiang Shengyan and Jiangsu Shengyi. The Group completed the acquisition of its respective 51% interest in Jiangsu Shengyi and Heilongjiang Shengyan in September 2011 and December 2012 respectively, further details of which are disclosed in the announcements of the Company dated 5 January 2011 and 30 October 2012.
Heilongjiang Shengyan was incorporated in the PRC in July 2010 with a registered capital of RMB30 million and is principally engaged in the production and sale of straw fuel briquettes, which is a type of biofuels and a substitute for coal, in the Northeast region of the PRC. The business model of Heilongjiang Shengyan is briefly summarised as follows:
-
Straw collection – purchase, collect and strap raw straw from farmers and transport to the warehouses for storage;
-
Straw chopping – the collected straw is then crushed into fine powder through crushing equipments;
-
Straw briquetting – the powdered straw is then put into the briquetting press machines from where it is compressed and processed before straw fuel briquettes are made; and
-
Sale of finished products – upon receiving sales orders, the straw fuel briquettes are then sold to customers.
The customers of Heilongjiang Shengyan mainly consist of companies, which are engaged in agricultural and manufacturing industries and use the straw fuel briquettes for different usage such as heat generation, located mostly at the Baiquan County of Heilongjiang Province. Revenue of Heilongjiang Shengyan is mainly derived from the sale of straw fuel briquettes by sales orders from customers and Heilongjiang Shengyan generates more revenue in winter seasons out of a year due to its usage mainly as heat generation by its customers. Heilongjian Shengyan purchases raw straw mainly from many different local farmers located at Heilongjian Province in the PRC. It entered into sales agreements with customers and purchase agreements with local farmers.
The production of Heilongjiang Shengyan is mainly conducted in one main plant and 30 sub-plants located at the Baiquan County of Heilongjiang Province with a production capacity of approximately 200,000 tonnes per year. The major assets of Heilongjiang Shengyan consist of land and buildings, 52 sets of straw briquette manufacturing devices and inventories. Heilongjiang Shengyan also owns technology patents in the production of straw fuel briquettes. Heilongjiang Shengyan is currently the largest company engaged in the manufacturing and sale of straw fuel briquettes in Heilongjiang Province. It has built 10 more sub-plants and increased its production capacity by 40,000 tonnes in the previous year. It is expected that Heilongjiang Shengyan will continue to increase its production capacity by building more sub-plants in Heilongjiang Province and neighbourhood provinces such as Jilin and Hebei Provinces as well as expand its product usage as fertilizers or animal feed though the Group has no exact future detailed plans of the scale of target production capacity or timing of the development plan. Due to its strong market position in Heilongjiang Province, Heilongjiang Shengyan has stable straw supplies and product demand and receives support from the local government.
14
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
In addition, the PRC government also promulgated several supporting policies and measures to support the straw industry. The State Council of the PRC has promulgated the 《「十二五」農作物秸 稈綜合利用實施方案》 (12th Five Year Plan – Implementation Plan for Straw Integrated Utilization) at the end of 2011 to determine the development directions and security measures for related industries regarding the straw integrated utilization. The Ministry of Finance of the PRC published in October 2008 《秸稈能源化利用補助資金管理暫行辦法》(Interim Measures for Straw Energy Utilization Subsidies) to support the development of the straw industry by providing subsidy from the government. Under the 《秸稈能源化利用補助資金管理暫行辦法》(Interim Measures for Straw Energy Utilization Subsidies*), the qualifications of companies entitling to receive subsidy include (i) the registered capital of the company should be at least RMB10 million; (ii) the straw utilization business of the company should be in accordance with the general plan made by local government; (iii) the total volume of raw material used for production by the company should be not less than 10,000 tonnes; and (iv) the company has stable customers and sales revenue. Since established in 2010, Heilongjiang Shengyan has been granted annual subsidy amounting to approximately RMB3.2 million and RMB18.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2010 and 2011 respectively based on its annual volume of sales in 2010 and 2011 respectively, offered by the Ministry of Finance of the State Council of the PRC. According to the website of the Ministry of Finance of the PRC publishing the list of companies who had been granted straw energy utilization subsidy, Heilongjiang Shengyan is the largest straw utilization manufacturer in Heilongjiang Province in terms of annual sales in 2011. Heilongjiang Shengyan only recorded the subsidy income as other revenue below gross profit item in its accounts when it received the subsidy income. The annual subsidy of RMB3.2 million was received during the year ended 31 December 2011. Heilongjian Shengyan recorded turnover, gross profit and net profits of approximately RMB46.6 million, RMB60,499 and RMB673,722 respectively for the year ended 31 December 2011. The annual subsidy of RMB18.8 million was received in March 2013 and therefore was not booked in the accounts of Heilongjiang Shengyan for the year ended 31 December 2012. Heilongjiang Shengyan recorded turnover, gross profit and net profits of approximately RMB77.4 million, RMB12.4 million and RMB9.0 million respectively for the year ended 31 December 2012. The subsidy granted is significant to the net profits of Heilongjiang Shengyan but has no effects on the turnover and gross profit of Heilongjiang Shengyan. Since the Group completed the acquisition of Heilongjiang Shengyan in December 2012 and Heilongjiang Shengyan had been able to generate net profits of RMB9.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2012 without recognising the subsidy income in its accounts, the Directors are of the view that the extent of the reliance on subsidy income by Heilongjiang Shengyan has weakened in 2012 as compared to 2011 and it is expected that the reliance on subsidy income by Heilongjiang Shengyan will continue to decrease as Heilongjiang Shengyan will expand its production capacity and gradually raise the product price year by year. Based on the historical average subsidy granted per tonne of products produced in 2011 and the annual volume of sales in 2012, it is expected that Heilongjiang Shengyan will be granted subsidy of approximately RMB25 million for the year ended 31 December 2012 and there will be no material adverse impact to the Group if the subsidy for the year ended 31 December 2012 is not granted.
Jiangsu Shengyi was incorporated in the PRC in April 2007 with a registered capital of RMB16 million and is principally engaged in the provision of technological desulphurization service, which can effectively reduce sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide emissions generated from burning of fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas and oil products. Jiangsu Shengyi is situated at the Yixing Environmental Protection Science and Technology Industrial Park, a national hi-tech industrial development zone in the PRC, which has been uniquely and professionally implementing the technology research, development and application of sulphur recycling. The provision of technological desulphurization service includes sulphur recovery, desulphurization and waste water treatment. Jiangsu Shengyi mainly derives desulphurization engineering and construction contracts from customers and the contracts normally last for 1-2 years. It is also one of a few companies in Jiangsu Province which owns technology patents and engages in the technology development and application of desulphurization in the chemical industry. The major assets of Jiangsu Shengyi include inventories, cash and receivables. The operation of Jiangsu Shengyi remains relative stable with approximately 100 staffs and generates annual income of approximately RMB15 to 20 million. Revenue of Jiangsu Shengyi is mainly derived from contracts from customers which are engaged in the chemical industry located in the PRC and Jiangsu Shengyi only recognises revenue when
15
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
the contracts are completed. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are seven outstanding uncompleted orders on hand not yet recognized, with total contract sum of approximately RMB124.1 million which is expected to be received by installments before 2015. Jiangsu Shengyi will continuously build on its technical research, improve its service quality and enter into new project contracts with enterprises to position itself as one of the most famous companies engaged in desulphurization business in Jiangsu Province. Jiangsu Shengyi also benefits from PRC government support through implementing policies to develop the environmental protection related businesses such as the《十二五節能環保產業發展規劃》 (12th Five Year Plan Energy Saving Environment Protection Industry Development Plan*) and《燃煤發 電機組脫硫電價及脫硫設施運行管理辦法》(Coal Electricity Generating Desulphurization Units and Facilities Management Measures).
REASONS FOR THE DISPOSAL AND USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company is an investment holding company. The Group is principally engaged in the manufacture and sales of loudspeaker systems and environmental protection related businesses.
The manufacture and sale of loudspeaker systems of the Group is carried out by the Disposal Group. As mentioned in the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2012, the Group faces challenges in its manufacturing and sales of loudspeaker systems business in 2012 in light of the slow US economic recovery, the continuous Euro area debt crisis and the weakening PRC economic growth which have affected market demands as well as the historical high level of raw material and labour costs in the PRC. Based on the unaudited consolidated accounts of the Disposal Group, although the turnover recorded by the Disposal Group has gradually increased from approximately HK$587.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2010 to approximately HK$724.0 million and HK$825.1 million for each of the two years ended 31 December 2012 respectively, the Disposal Group has been suffering decreases in both the gross profit margin and net profits. The net profit after taxation of the Disposal Group has decreased from approximately HK$39.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2010 to approximately HK$15.7 million and HK$3.8 million for each of the two years ended 31 December 2012 respectively. The Disposal Group recorded a net loss attributable to shareholders of approximately HK$4.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2012 as opposed to a net profit attributable to shareholders of approximately HK$16.6 million and HK$7.5 million for each of the two years ended 31 December 2011 respectively. Furthermore, the Disposal Group recorded net current liabilities of approximately HK$3.3 million, HK$32.0 million and HK$81.1 million as at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 respectively which was mainly due to the Sale Loan and short-term bank borrowings.
The PRC government announced in 2011 to support the development of the environmental related industries during China’s 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-2015). With heightened environmental concerns among the PRC government and its citizens, the relevant PRC authorities have promulgated policies with a view to encourage the development of environmental protection related industry. Benefited from the enormous support given by the PRC government towards environmental protection related industry, the Directors are of the view that there are enormous growth opportunities for the environmental protection related businesses of the Group in the future.
In light of the deteriorating financial performance and position of the Disposal Group as described above, the Directors consider that the Disposal allows the Group to devote its resources to the operation of its environmental protection related businesses and to improve the working capital and gearing position of the Group. Upon Completion, the Remaining Group will be principally engaged in environmental protection related businesses. The Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors who have expressed their views on the transactions contemplated under the Sale and Purchase Agreement under the section headed “Letter from the Independent Board Committee” of this circular) consider that the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are fair and reasonable and the Disposal is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
16
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The net proceeds from the Disposal (net of expenses) are estimated to be approximately HK$121.3 million. It is intended that out of the net proceeds of the Disposal, (i) approximately HK$29.3 million will be used for repayment of outstanding loans and payables of the Company; (ii) approximately HK$52 million will be used for the development and expansion of the environmental protection related businesses of the Remaining Group as well as investment in relevant environmental protection related businesses should such opportunities arise; and (iii) approximately HK$40 million will be used for general working capital of the Remaining Group. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board has not identified any acquisition or investment target or commenced any negotiation or arrangement in this regard.
FINANCIAL EFFECT ON THE DISPOSAL
Upon Completion, the Company will cease to hold any equity interest in the Disposed Company. The Disposed Company and its subsidiaries will cease to be subsidiaries of the Company and the financial information of the Disposal Group will not be consolidated in the accounts of the Company upon Completion.
According to note 3 to the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Remaining Group as set out in Appendix III to this circular, it is estimated that the Group will realize a gain of approximately HK$9.6 million from the Disposal, which is calculated based on the net consideration for disposing the Sale Shares and Sale Loan of approximately HK$121.2 million (after netting off the transaction costs attributable to the Disposal) deducting the equity interests attributable to the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Disposal Group of approximately HK$100.3 million (which is calculated based on the unaudited net asset value of the Disposal Group of approximately HK$244.6 million less minority interests of approximately HK$144.3 million) as at 31 December 2012 and the unaudited amount of the Sale Loan of approximately HK$34.8 million as at 31 December 2012 and adding back the realisation of reserves upon the Disposal of approximately HK$23.5 million. Shareholders should note that the actual amount of the gain/loss of the Disposal to be recognised in the consolidated financial statements of the Company depends on the net asset value of the Disposal Group as at the Completion Date and therefore may be different from the amount mentioned above.
According to the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Remaining Group as set out in Appendix III to this circular, assuming the Disposal had been completed on 31 December 2012, the Group’s total assets as at 31 December 2012 would decrease from approximately HK$1,060.0 million to approximately HK$415.1 million and total liabilities of the Group as at 31 December 2012 would decrease from approximately HK$758.9 million to approximately HK$272.2 million. The net assets of the Group as at 31 December 2012 would decrease from approximately HK$301.1 million to approximately HK$142.9 million.
According to the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Remaining Group as set out in Appendix III to this circular, assuming the Disposal had been completed on 1 January 2012, the Group’s profit after tax for the year ended 31 December 2012 would decrease from approximately HK$3.9 million to approximately HK$3.3 million.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
IMPLICATION UNDER THE GEM LISTING RULES
As the applicable percentage ratio (as defined under the GEM Listing Rules) in respect of the Disposal under Rule 19.07 of the GEM Listing Rules exceeds 75%, the Disposal constitutes a very substantial disposal for the Company under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules which is subject to the reporting, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements.
As the Purchaser is a company wholly-owned by Mr. Yang who is a former director of the Company within the preceding 12 months, the Purchaser is an associate of Mr. Yang and therefore a connected person of the Company under the GEM Listing Rules. Therefore, the Disposal also constitutes a connected transaction for the Company which is subject to reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules. Accordingly, Mr. Yang and his associates will be required to abstain from voting in respect of the ordinary resolution approving the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder at the EGM.

None of the Directors have a material interest in the Disposal and have abstained from voting on the board resolution approving the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief and having made all reasonable enquiries, Mr. Yang and his associates did not hold any Shares. If Mr. Yang and his associates (to the extent where they are Shareholders) hold any shares as at the date of the EGM, they are required to abstain from voting in respect of the ordinary resolution approving the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder at the EGM.

A. INTRODUCTION
We refer to our engagement as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in connection with the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, details of which are set out in the section headed “Letter from the Board” in the circular (“Circular”) issued by the Company to the Shareholders dated 28 June 2013 of which this letter forms part.

On 2 May 2013 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange), the Company and the Purchaser entered into the Sale and Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company conditionally agreed to dispose of the Sale Shares and the Sale Loan to the Purchaser and the Purchaser conditionally agreed to acquire the Sale Shares and the Sale Loan from the Company at an aggregate consideration of HK$122,000,000 which are satisfied in cash.
As the Purchaser is a company wholly owned by Mr. Yang who is a former director of the Company within the preceding 12 months, the Purchaser is an associate of Mr. Yang and therefore a connected person of the Company under the GEM Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM VINCO CAPITAL
Audited consolidated results for the year ended 31 December 2011
As disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2011 (the “Annual Report 2011”), the Group recorded an increase in turnover of approximately HK$724 million for the year ended 31 December 2011 from approximately HK$587.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2010, representing an increase of approximately 23.2%. The increase in overall sales is primarily attributable to the continual growth of the automobile market. During the year ended 31 December 2011, sales of loudspeaker systems for automobiles increased by 24.2% to approximately HK$701.7 million (2010: HK$565.2 million), while the Group recorded sales of loudspeaker systems for home theatres of approximately HK$22.3 million (2010: HK$22.4 million). As shown in the Annual Report 2011, the Group’s environmental technology related business had yet to generate revenue for the Group.
The loss attributable to owners of the Company decreased by approximately 36.1%, from approximately HK$77.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2010 to approximately HK$49.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2011. Such decrease in loss was mainly due to the decrease in loss in fair value losses on derivative financial instruments from approximately HK$74.3 million in financial year 2010 to approximately HK$13.2 million in financial year 2011.
Audited consolidated results for the year ended 31 December 2012
As disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2012 (the “Annual Report 2012”), the Group recorded a turnover of approximately HK$875.6 million, representing an increase of approximately 20.9% as compared to that of the previous year. The increase in Group’s turnover was mainly attributable to the increase in revenue in both loudspeaker systems and environmental protection related segments. For the year ended 31 December 2012, the sales of loudspeaker systems increased by approximately 14.0% to approximately HK$825.1 million. The environmental protection related business has started to contribute to the Group’s revenue, amounting to approximately HK$50.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2012.
According to the Annual Report 2012, the loss attributable to owners of the Company decreased from approximately HK$49.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2011 to approximately HK$3.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2012, representing a decrease of approximately 94.0%. Such significant decrease in loss of the Group was mainly due to the fact that (i) the Group’s gross profit ratio has increased to approximately 21.2% for the year ended 31 December 2012 from approximately 20.5% in the financial year 2011 and (ii) the fair value gain of derivative financial instrument of approximately HK$22.5 million recognised by the Company in respect of the convertible loan notes and the unlisted warrants issued by the Company as compared to a fair value loss recognised of approximately of HK$13.2 million last financial year.

2. Information on and the historical financial performance of the Disposal Group
The Disposed Company, which was incorporated in BVI, is an investment holding company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Disposal Group is principally engaged in the manufacture and sale of loudspeaker systems used in both automobiles and home theatres and the provision of after-sales service. The Disposal Group has manufactured different types of loudspeaker systems for automobiles and home theatres on an OEM and ODM basis, all of which have different quality, sizes, designs and/or functions or are tailor-made for different customers.
Set out below is a summary of the unaudited consolidated financial information of the Disposal Group prepared in accordance with Hong Kong financial Reporting Standards for the three years ended 31 December 2012 as extracted from Appendix I of the Circular:

Audited consolidated results for the year ended 31 December 2011
From the table above, the Disposal Group recorded an increase in turnover of approximately HK$724 million for the year ended 31 December 2011 from approximately HK$587.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2010, representing an increase of approximately 23.2%. The increase in overall sales is primarily attributable to the continual growth of the automobile market. During the year ended 31 December 2011, sales of loudspeaker systems for automobiles increased by 24.2% to approximately HK$701.7 million (2010: HK$565.2 million), while the Group recorded sales of loudspeaker systems for home theatres of approximately HK$22.3 million (2010: HK$22.4 million).
25
LETTER FROM VINCO CAPITAL
However, the profit attributable to owners of the Company decreased by approximately 54.8%, from approximately HK$16.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2010 to approximately HK$7.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2011. Such decrease in loss was mainly due to (i) decrease in gross profit margin by approximately 5.5% to approximately 20.4% for the year ended 31 December 2011 and (ii) the increase in finance costs.
Audited consolidated results for the year ended 31 December 2012
From the table above, the Disposal Group recorded a turnover of approximately HK$825.1 million, representing an increase of approximately 14.0% as compared to that of the previous year. The increase in Group’s turnover was mainly attributable to the continual growth of automobile market which increase the demand for loudspeaker systems used in automobiles.
Despite the increase in revenue, the Disposal Group recorded loss of approximately HK$4.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2012. The turning from profit to loss making for the Disposal Group was mainly due to the increase in administrative expenses, raw materials price and technical development costs of approximately 48.6% for the year ended 31 December 2012 as compared with the respective period in 2011.
3. Reasons for the Disposal and use of proceeds
As advised by the Directors, around 97% of the revenue of the Disposal Group are derived from the sales of loudspeaker systems for automobiles in China, which are therefore largely dependent on the prospect of automobiles manufacturing industry in China. However, the growth rate on automobiles productions experienced a downward trend. According to annual surveys conducted by Organisation Internationale des. Constructeurs d’Automobiles (“OICA”), an organisation which comprises of 35 national trade associations around the world, including all major automobile manufacturing countries in Europe, America and Asia, the growth rate on production of automobiles in China in 2011 and 2012 were approximately 0.8% and 4.6% respectively, of which had experienced a slowdown of production of automobiles when compared to a growth rate of approximately 32.4% in 2010. The slowing down of the automobiles manufacturing in China may lead to the decrease in the demand for loud speaker systems for automobiles. In addition, as stated in the Letter from the Board, the Group faces challenges in manufacturing and sales of loudspeaker systems business in light of the slow US economic recovery, the continuous Euro area debt crisis and the weakening PRC economic growth which have affected market demands as well as the historical high level of raw material and labour costs in the PRC.
As discussed in the above section headed “Information on and the historical financial performance of the Disposal Group”, the financial performance of the Disposal Group is deteriorating. The Disposal Group recorded a net loss attributable to shareholders of approximately HK$4.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2012 as opposed to a net profit attributable to shareholders of approximately HK$16.6 million and HK$7.5 million for each of the two years ended 31 December 2011 respectively. Furthermore, the Disposal Group recorded net current liabilities of approximately HK$3.3 million, HK$32.0 million and HK$81.1 million as at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 respectively which was mainly due to the Sale Loan and short-term bank borrowings.

LETTER FROM VINCO CAPITAL
As stated in the Letter from the Board, the net proceeds from the Disposal (net of expenses) are estimated to be approximately HK$121.3 million. It is intended that out of the net proceeds of the Disposal, (i) approximately HK$29.3 million will be used for repayment of outstanding loans and payables of the Company; (ii) approximately HK$52 million will be used for the development and expansion of the environmental protection related businesses of the Remaining Group as well as investment in suitable investment opportunities should such opportunities arise; and (iii) approximately HK$40 million will be used for general working capital of the Remaining Group. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board has not identified any acquisition or investment target or commenced any negotiation or arrangement in this regard.
We noted that approximately 42.9% of the net proceeds will be used as development and expansion of the environmental protection related businesses. Through our discussion with the Directors, we are given to understand that they are of the view that the prospect of environmental protection related businesses in China is positive as the PRC government will support the development of the environmental related industries as announced in the 12th Five-Year Plan in 2011.
According to chapter 24 of the 12th Five-Year Plan, the PRC government plans to enhance environmental protection intensity by prioritising solutions to air and land contamination which adversely affect people’s health, promoting the governance of emission of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides and strengthening desulfurisation and denitrification facilities. Further, the PRC government will develop new strategic industries energetically such as energy conservation and environmental protection industries and new energy industry by promoting the industrialization of efficient energy conservation, advanced environmental protection and implementing exemplary large-scale application projects on biomass energy according to chapter 10 of the 12th FiveYear Plan. Based on the above, we and the Directors are of the view that the prospect of the environmental protection related business in China is positive.
As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Remaining Group has been granted annual subsidy based on its annual sales offered by Ministry of Finance of the State Council of the PRC to support the Heilongjiang Shengyan’s straw integrated utilization business. Based on our discussion with the Directors, and the audited profit and loss account of the Heilongjiang Shengyan for the year ended 31 December 2011 and the settlement record of the government subsidy reviewed by us, we noted that the operating profit of Heilongjiang Shengyan would record a loss of approximately RMB2.5 million without the subsidy income granted by the PRC government of approximately RMB3.2 million. However, according to the management accounts of the Heilongjiang Shengyan for the year ended 31 December 2012, approximately RMB9 million profit was recorded and the subsidy income for the financial year 2011 of approximately RMB18.8 million was not booked into the profits of the Heilongjiang Shengyan for the year ended 31 December 2012. Based on the aforesaid, we are of the view that, despite the short operating history since establishment in 2010, the Heilongjiang Shengyan is able to generate profit without receiving any subsidy income in 2012. Therefore, we are of the view that Heilongjiang Shengyan’s reliance on the annual subsidy is reducing and is able to generate profits under its usual course of business.
27
LETTER FROM VINCO CAPITAL
After our discussion with the Directors, we understand that the Helilongjiang Shengyan is the largest manufacturer of straw fuel briquettes in Heilongjiang Province while Heilonjiang Province has the largest straw fuel briquettes supplies in the PRC. In addition, according to 12th Five Year Plan–Implementation Plan for Straw Integrated Utilization, the PRC government intends to improve the straw integrated utilization rate to 80% by 2015. Using straw as an energy resources is one of the strategies to improve the straw integrated utilization rate. Given that (i) the PRC government intends to improve straw integrated utilization and (ii) Heilongjiang Province is the largest supplier of straw fuel briquettes, we are of the view that straw fuel briquettes business in Heilongjiang Province is positive. As Heilongjiang Shengyan is the largest straw briquettes manufacturer in Heilongjiang Province, therefore we and the Directors are of the view that with the support from the PRC government, the prospect of the Heilongjiang Shengyan is positive.
As stated in the Letter from the Board, Jiangsu Shengyi was established in 2007 and was acquired in September 2011. The Jiangsu Shengyi has started to contribute revenue in financial year 2012 and have seven outstanding contracts with total contract sum of approximately RMB124.1 million on hand to be completed. After our discussion with the Directors and performed desktop research regarding air contamination in China, we noted that China especially in Beijing and Shanghai has serious air contamination recently. Such air contamination has become a political issues for the PRC government. It is widely accepted that the PRC government may aim to reduce the air pollution levels. As Jiangsu Shengyi is engaged in providing technological desulphurization services which can reduce the air contaminants to be emitted for the customers in chemical industry, we are of the view that Jiangsu Shengyi may benefit from it. Based on the aforesaid, we and the Directors are of the view that the Jiangsu Shengyi may has stable demand for its provision of technological desulphurization services.
We noted that, upon the completion of the Disposal, the Remaining Group would result in a change in business focus of the Company. However, given that the financial performance and position of the Disposal Group is deteriorating and would no longer consolidated into the Remaining Group which affect the profitability and financial position of the Remaining Group and the proceeds from the Disposal enable the Remaining Group to focus on environmental protection business that are more promising than automobiles loudspeaker systems business as the automobiles manufacturing in the PRC experienced slowdown in recent years, we are of the view that the Disposal is in the interest of Shareholders and the Company as a whole.
Given that the (i) slowdown of the automobiles production industry and the economic growth in PRC will affect the demand for loudspeaker systems, (ii) historical high level of raw materials and labour costs in PRC which will affect the profit margins of the loudspeakers systems business, (iii) the deteriorating financial performance and position of the Disposal Group, (iv) the Disposal can allow the Group to devote more resources to its environmental protection related business and (v) the positive outlook on the prospect of the environmental protection industry in China which will be the major business focus of the Remaining Group, we are of the view that the Disposal is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM VINCO CAPITAL
Comparables analysis
In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Consideration, it is a general practice to apply commonly used benchmarks for evaluating the value of companies. We have considered applying the price-to-earnings ratios (the “P/E ratio(s)”) and the price-to book ratios (the “P/B ratio(s)”) in our analysis. Given that the Disposal Group recorded loss attributable to shareholders for the financial year ended 31 December 2012, we consider the analysis of P/E ratio not applicable. We have searched for comparable companies listed on the Stock Exchange which are primary engaged in businesses similar to those of the Disposal Group. We identified 3 comparable companies (the “Comparables”), all of which are (i) listed on the Stock Exchange and (ii) principally engaged in the manufacture or sale of electronic products which include, among others, loudspeakers or acoustic products. The list is exhaustive and we consider the Comparables are fair and representative comparables to the Company. Shareholders should note that the business, operation and prospect of the Company are not exactly the same as the Comparables and we have not conducted any in-depth investigation into the business and operations of the Comparables save for the aforesaid selection criteria. Nevertheless, the Comparables can still be a meaningful reference in assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Consideration. The market capitalisations and hence the P/B ratios of the Comparables are based on the respective share prices and the total issued shares of the Comparables on 30 April 2012, being the last trading day prior to the date of entering the Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Last Trading Day”). Our relevant finding is summarised in the table below.

Notes:
(1) Based on the latest financial data as published in the respective annual/interim results by the Last Trading Day.
(2) P/B ratios of the Comparables are calculated based on their respective market capitalisation as at the Last Trading Day divided by the net asset value attributable to owners of the Comparables as extracted from their respective latest annual/interim reports. (3) The Consideration has been used as the implied market capitalisation of the Disposal Group.
(4) The implied P/B ratio of the Company is calculated as the Consideration divided by the net asset value attributable to the shareholders of the Disposal Group.
32
LETTER FROM VINCO CAPITAL
As illustrated in the above, the P/B ratios of the Comparables ranged from approximately 0.44 times to approximately 1.59 times. The average of the P/B ratios of the Comparables is approximately 0.84 times. The implied P/B ratio of the Disposed Group, based on the Consideration, are approximately 1.22 times, which are within the range of the Comparables’ P/B ratios and higher than the average of the P/B ratios of the Comparables. As such, we consider the Consideration, with reference to the above implied P/B ratio, is fair and reasonable given the current market valuation and pricing of shares on the other listed companies in the industry.
We note that the Consideration represents approximately 9.7% discount to the sum of the equity interests attributable to the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Disposal Group and the unaudited amount of the Sale Loan as at 31 December 2012 amounting to approximately HK$135,057,000 in aggregate. Given that (i) the deteriorating financial performance of the Disposal Group, (ii) the challenges faced by the Disposal Group on the rising raw materials costs and labour costs and (iii) the implied P/B ratio on the Consideration is higher than that of the Comparables, we are of the view that the Consideration is fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
5. Financial Effect on the Disposal
The following analysis is based on the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2012 and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of the Remaining Group as set out in Appendix II to this Circular.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Remaining Group after the Disposal has been prepared based on the audited consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2012, as extracted from the published annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2012, after making pro forma adjustments relating to the Disposal, as if the Disposal had been completed on 31 December 2012.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of cash flows of the Remaining Group after the Disposal have been prepared based on the audited consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the audited consolidated statement of cash flows of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2012, as extracted from the published annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2012, after making pro forma adjustments relating to the Disposal, as if the Disposal had been completed on 1 January 2012.
Independent Shareholders should note that the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Remaining Group has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and it may not give a true picture of the results, cash flow and financial position of the Group upon Disposal or at any future date.

LETTER FROM VINCO CAPITAL
Unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information of the Remaining Group
Tabularised below is a summary of the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information of the Remaining Group as extracted from the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of the Remaining Group as set out in Appendix II to this Circular:
| (HK$’000) | For the year ended 31 December 2012 |
|---|---|
| Revenue | 50,523 |
| Profit for the year | 3,292 |
| (HK$’000) | As at 31 December 2012 |
| Total assets | 415,094 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 124,978 |
| Total Liabilities | 272,156 |
| Net Current Assets | 47,679 |
| Total equity | 142,938 |
| Equity attributable to equity holders | |
| of the Company | 114,300 |
Effects on revenues and earnings
For the year ended 31 December 2012, the Group recorded an audited revenue and profit for the year of approximately HK$875.6 million and approximately HK$3.9 million respectively. As shown above, had the Disposal been completed on 1 January 2012, the revenue and the profit for the year would have been approximately HK$50.5 million and approximately HK$3.3 million respectively. The revenue represents a decrease of approximately 94.2% which was mainly due to the decreased income base of the Remaining Group from the Disposal. The profit for the year represents a decrease of approximately 15.7%.
Effects on asset to liabilities ratio and liquidity
As at 31 December 2012, the audited total assets and total liabilities of the Group amounted to approximately HK$1,060.0 million and approximately HK$758.9 million respectively. As shown above, had the Disposal been completed on 31 December 2012, the total assets and total liabilities of the Remaining Group under the Disposal would have been HK$415.1 million and HK$272.2 million, respectively, representing an increase in the assets to liabilities ratio from approximately 139.7% to approximately 152.5% with an increase of approximately 12.8%. The increasing asset to liabilities ratio after the Disposal would also lead to the improvement of liquidity on the Remaining Group. Had the Disposal been completed on 31 December 2012, the working capital of the Remaining Group would be approximately HK$47.7 million, representing an increase of approximately HK$167.6 million from the negative working capital for the Group as at 31 December 2012. Such improvement in liquidity was due to (i) the substantial decrease in short term bank borrowings bared by the Disposal Group and (ii) the Consideration received was recorded as current assets which led to the increase cash and cash equivalents.
34
LETTER FROM VINCO CAPITAL
Although the Disposal reduced the revenue and hence net profit of the Remaining Group, the financial position of the Remaining Group has improved with the improving assets to liabilities ratio and working capital based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Remaining Group.
We observed that the revenue and net assets of the Remaining Group accounted for approximately 5.8% and 47.5% of those of the Group based on the unaudited pro forma financial information for the year ended 31 December 2012. Despite the drop in revenue for the year ended 31 December 2012 upon the completion of the Disposal, the net profit after tax of Remaining Group accounted for approximately 84.3% of those of the Group with the gain on Disposal of approximately HK$3.2 million. Therefore, we consider that the drop in revenue may not seriously affect the profitability of the Remaining Group based on unaudited pro forma financial information for the year ended 31 December 2012. Despite the decrease in net assets values after the Disposal, the Remaining Group has better financial position than those of the Group as the assets to liabilities ratio improved and net current assets was recorded based on unaudited pro forma financial information for the year ended 31 December 2012. Based on the aforesaid, we consider that the decrease in net assets values is justifiable.
D. CONCLUSION
Having taken into account the above principal factors and reasons, we are of the view that the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder is on normal commercial terms, is in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company. The terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable and are in the interest of the Company and Shareholders as a whole. Therefore, we advise (i) the Independent Shareholders and, (ii) the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Independent Shareholders, to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

REPORT ON REVIEW OF UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF SUNRISE (CHINA) TECHNOLOGY GROUP LIMITED
Introduction
We have reviewed the unaudited consolidated financial information of Taraki Inc., (the “Disposed Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Disposal Group”) set out on pages 38 to 43, which comprises the unaudited consolidated statements of financial position as at 31 December 2010, 2011, 2012, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive income, unaudited consolidated statements of changes in equity and unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows for each of the years then ended and certain explanatory notes (altogether the “Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information”). The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information has been prepared solely for the purpose of inclusion in the circular to be issued by Sunrise (China) Technology Group Limited (the “Company”) in connection with disposal of the entire interest in the Disposed Company and the loans owing by the Disposal Group to the Company in accordance with paragraph 68(2)(a)(i)(A) of Chapter 19 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Growth-Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“the GEM Listing Rules”).
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information of the Disposal Group in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 2 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information and paragraph 68(2)(a)(i) of Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules. The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information does not contain sufficient information to constitute a complete set of financial statements as defined in Hong Kong Accounting Standard 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information based on our review, and to report our conclusion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2400 “Engagements to Review Financial Statements” and with reference to Practice Note 750 “Review of Financial Information under the Hong Kong Listing Rules for a Very Substantial Disposal” issued by the HKICPA. These require that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the financial information is free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of entity personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE DISPOSAL GROUP
APPENDIX I
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information of the Disposal Group is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 2 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information.
Emphasis of matters
Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw attention to note 2 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information regarding the adoption of going concern basis on which the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information has been prepared. At 31 December 2012, the Disposal Group had sustained net current liabilities of HK$81,107,000.
The conditions set out in note 2 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Disposal Group to continue as a going concern. The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information do not include any adjustments that would result from a failure to obtain fundings as referred to in note 2 to meet in full the financial obligations of the Disposal Group for the foreseeable future.

APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE DISPOSAL GROUP
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
On 2 May 2013, Sunrise (China) Technology Group Limited (the “Company”) entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Buena Holdings Limited (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Company has conditionally agreed to sell, and the Purchaser has conditionally agreed to acquire the entire issued share capital of the Disposed Company together with the loans owing by the Disposal Group to the Company (the “Disposal”). Upon the completion of the Disposal, the Disposal Group will cease to be the subsidiaries of the Company.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The unaudited consolidated financial information of the Disposal Group for the three years ended 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 (“Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information”) has been prepared in accordance with paragraph 68(2)(a)(i) of Chapter 19 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Growth-Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, and solely for the purpose of inclusion in the circular to be issued by the Company in connection with the Disposal.
The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the relevant accounting policies adopted by the Company in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the relevant years. The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information does not contain sufficient information to constitute a complete set of financial statements as defined in Hong Kong Accounting Standard 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
The Disposal Group recorded net current liabilities of HK$81,107,000 as at 31 December 2012. In view of this circumstance, the directors of the Company have given consideration to the future liquidity of the Disposal Group in assessing whether the Disposal Group will have sufficient financial resources to continue as a going concern. The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis because the Company has agreed to provide adequate funds to enable the Disposal Group to meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due for the foreseeable future until the Disposal is completed. Upon the completion of the Disposal, the loans owing by the Disposal Group to the Company will be taken up by the Purchaser and the Purchaser has agreed to provide adequate funds to enable the Disposal Group to meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due for the foreseeable future.
Should the Disposal Group be unable to operate as a going concern, adjustments would have to be made to adjust the value of its assets to their recoverable amounts, to reclassify its non-current assets and non-current liabilities into current assets and current liabilities respectively, and to provide for any further liabilities which might arise. The effect of these adjustments has not been reflected in the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information.

A. INTRODUCTION TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE REMAINING GROUP

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of cash flows of the Remaining Group after the Disposal have been prepared based on the audited consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the audited consolidated statement of cash flows of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2012, as extracted from the published annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2012, after making pro forma adjustments relating to the Disposal, as if the Disposal had been completed on 1 January 2012.
The unaudited pro forma financial information is based on the aforesaid historical data after giving effect to the pro forma adjustments described in the accompanying notes. Narrative description of the pro forma adjustments that are (i) directly attributable to the transaction and (ii) factually supportable, is summarised in the accompanying notes.
The unaudited pro forma financial information of the Remaining Group has been prepared by the Directors for illustrative purpose only and is based on a number of assumptions, estimates, uncertainties and currently available information. Because of its hypothetical nature, the unaudited pro forma financial information may not give a true picture of the results, cash flows and financial position of the Group upon completion of the Disposal or at any future date.

2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE REMAINING GROUP
Set out below is the management discussion and analysis of the Remaining Group’s business and performance for each of the past two financial years ended 31 December 2012 as the Group commenced in the Remaining Group’s environmental protection related businesses only after the completion of the acquisitions by the Group of its respective 51% interest in Jiangsu Shengyi and Heilongjiang Shengyan in September 2011 and December 2012 respectively. Thus, the management discussion and analysis of the Remaining Group’s business and performance for the year ended 31 December 2011 only includes the results of Jiangsu Shengyi while for the year ended 31 December 2012, both the results of Jiangsu Shengyi and Heilongjiang Shengyan are included.
For the financial year ended 31 December 2011
Financial and business review
For the year ended 31 December 2011, no revenue was recorded in the Remaining Group as Jiangsu Shengyi did not complete any contracts during the period from September to December 2011 since the completion of the acquisition of Jiangsu Shengyi in September 2011. Therefore, there was no income generated from Jiangsu Shengyi which could be attributed to the revenue of the Remaining Group. Although no income was generated from Jiangsu Shengyi, Jiangsu Shengyi kept fulfilling its construction and engineering contracts entered into with 新疆慶華投資控股有限公司 (Xinjiang Qinghua Investment Holdings Company Ltd.), 寧夏捷美豐友化工公司 (Ningxia Jiemei Fengyou Chemical Company) and 東莞市中科煤氣化公司 (Dongguan City Zhongke Gasification Company) with the total amounts of approximately RMB12.3 million, RMB7.2 million and RMB20.8 million respectively. In addition, Jiangsu Shengyi entered into new contracts with 河南龍宇煤化工公司 (Henan Longyu Coal Chemical Company), 河南省煤氣集團有限責任公司 (Henan Province Coalgas Group Company Ltd.) and 陝 西中化益業能源公司 (Shanxi Zhonghua Yiye Energy Company) with total amounts of approximately RMB28.8 million, RMB27.4 million and RMB2.8 million respectively. A net loss of approximately HK$58.3 million was incurred by the Remaining Group for the year ended 31 December 2011, which was mainly due to the share-based payment, staff salaries and welfare expenses and other benefits.
Significant investments, material acquisitions and disposals
Save as the acquisition of Jiangsu Shengyi as mentioned above, there were no significant investments, material acquisitions or disposals during the year ended 31 December 2011.

3. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE REMAINING GROUP
After completion of the Disposal, the Remaining Group will carry on the environmental protection related businesses mainly through its two subsidiaries, namely Heilongjiang Shengyan and Jiangsu Shengyi. Further details of Heilongjiang Shengyan and Jiangsu Shengyi are set out under the section headed “Information of the Remaining Group” in the letter from the Board of this circular.
The proceeds from the Disposal will provide the Remaining Group with enough cash to repay the current loan and payables of the Group, and to develop and expand the environmental protection related businesses of the Remaining Group as well as investment in relevant environmental protection related businesses should such opportunities arise. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Remaining Group had not identified any acquisition or investment target or commenced any negotiation or arrangement in this regard. The Company will utilize part of the consideration to Heilongjiang Shengyan for the expansion of the production and sale of straw fuel briquettes business by building more sub-plants in Heilongjiang Province and the surrounding areas. Jiangsu Shengyi is actively seeking other feasible opportunities to enter into new contracts with its potential clients. Because of the heavy air pollution in north of the PRC, the Company expects that the PRC government will issue new regulations related to waste gas emission, and such action may obviously enlarge the market demands of the desulphurization industry. Thus the Company expects that the development of such industry will have a rapid growth.

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT
APPENDIX IV
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 Ascent Partners Valuation Service Limited, an independent valuer, in connection with its valuation as at 30 April 2013 of the property interests of the Disposal Group.

Date: 28 June 2013
The Board of Directors
Sunrise (China) Technology Group Limited Units 01-03, 28/F, Shui On Centre 6-8 Harbour Road, Wanchai Hong Kong
Dear Sirs,
INSTRUCTIONS
In accordance with the instructions of Sunrise (China) Technology Group Limited (the “Company”) for us to value various properties held and occupied by Taraki Inc. and its subsidiaries (hereinafter together referred to as the “Disposal Group”) in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), we confirm that we have carried out property 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 values of the property interests as at 30 April 2013 (referred to as the “Valuation Date”).
This letter which forms part of our valuation report explains the basis and methodologies of valuation, clarifying assumptions, valuation considerations, title investigation and limiting conditions of this valuation.
BASIS OF VALUATION
Our valuation of the property interests represents the market value which we would define as intended to mean “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date 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”.
60
PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT
APPENDIX IV
VALUATION METHODOLOGY
In valuing the property interests, we have adopted a combination of the open market and depreciated replacement cost approaches in assessing the land portions of the properties and the buildings and structures standing on the land respectively. Hence, the sum of the two results represents the value of the properties as a whole. In the valuation of the land portions, reference has been made to the comparables asking and/or sales transactions as available in the subject localities as well as the relevant benchmark land prices.
As the nature of the buildings and structures cannot be valued on the basis of market value, they have therefore been valued on the basis of their depreciated replacement cost. The depreciated replacement cost approach considers the cost to reproduce or replace in new condition the property appraised in accordance with current construction costs for similar buildings and structures in the locality, with allowance for accrued depreciation as evidenced by observed condition or obsolescence present, whether arising from physical, functional or economic causes. The depreciated replacement cost approach generally furnished the most reliable indication of value for the property in the absence of a known market based on comparable sales. The approach is subject to adequate potential profitability of the business.
VALUATION CONSIDERATIONS
In valuing the property interests, we have complied with all the requirements contained in Chapter 8 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Growth Enterprise Market issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the HKIS Valuation Standards 2012 Edition published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.
VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS
Our valuations have been made on the assumption that the seller sells the property interests on the open market in their existing states without the benefit of a deferred term contracts, leasebacks, joint ventures, management agreements or any similar arrangements, which could serve to affect the values of the property interests.
In undertaking our valuation, we have assumed that, unless otherwise stated, transferable land use rights in respect of the property interests for specific terms at nominal annual land use fees have been granted and that any premium payable has already been fully paid. We have also assumed that the owners of the properties have enforceable titles to the properties and have free and uninterrupted rights to use, occupy or assign the properties for the whole of the respective unexpired terms as granted.
No allowance has been made in our report for any outstanding or additional land premium, charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the property interests valued 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 from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature, which could affect their values.
Other special assumptions of the property interests, if any, have been stated out in the footnotes of the valuation certificates attached herewith.
61
PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT
APPENDIX IV
TITLE INVESTIGATION
We have been, in some instances, shown copies of various title documents and other documents relating to the property interests and have made relevant enquiries. We have not examined the original documents to verify the existing title to the property interests and any material encumbrances that might be attached to the property interests or any lease amendments. However, we have relied considerably on the information given by the Company’s PRC legal adviser, Jiangsu Lixin Law Firm (江蘇力信律師事務 所), concerning the validity of the Disposal Group’s title to the property interests located in the PRC.
All legal documents provided by the Disposal Group have been used for reference only. No responsibility regarding legal title to the property interests is assumed in this valuation report.
LIMITING CONDITIONS
We have inspected the exterior, and wherever possible, the interior of the properties but no structural survey had been made. In the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects. We are not, however, able to report that the properties are free from rot, infestation or any other structural defects. Further, no test has been carried out on any of the building services. All dimensions, measurements and areas are only approximates. We have not been able to carry out detailed on-site measurements to verify the site and floor areas of the properties and we have assumed that the areas shown on the copies of documents handed to us are correct.
The properties were inspected by Mr. Charles Choi, ASc (Estate Surveying), on 31 May 2013.
