DISCLOSEABLE AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION

1. INTRODUCTION

The Company has, by an announcement dated 8th November, 2005, announced that the Company has entered into the Agreement with Emax for the sale of the entire issued share capital of Palazzo. Emax is a wholly owned subsidiary of CRH, which is a substantial and controlling shareholder of the Company. Emax is therefore a connected person of the Company. The Disposal contemplated under the Agreement constitutes a connected transaction of the Company and is conditional upon the approval by Independent Shareholders at the SGM.

The purposes of this circular are to provide you with further information relating to the Disposal contemplated under the Agreement, which includes (a) the recommendation and opinion of the Independent Board Committee and (b) the recommendation of CIMB-GK (in the form of a letter) setting out its recommendation to the Independent Board Committee and Independent Shareholders.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. THE DISPOSAL

(a) The Agreement

  • (i) Date

8th November, 2005

(ii) Parties

Vendor: the Company Purchaser: Emax

  • (iii) Nature of transaction

The Company will sell to Emax the entire issued share capital of Palazzo, which is the holding company of all members of the Group which are engaged in the furniture business.

(iv) Consideration

The consideration is HK$183,000,000, which will be satisfied by Emax in full by cash at Completion.

The consideration represents approximately 12 times the average after tax net profit of Palazzo Group for the years ended 31st December, 2003 and 2004 as well as approximately 1.8 times its net tangible asset value as at 31st December, 2004. The consideration, negotiated on an arms-length basis, reflects the recent earning records of Palazzo Group, its distribution network in the PRC and its brand name in the PRC office furniture industry.

(v) Condition precedent

Completion of the Agreement is conditional upon the passing of a resolution by Independent Shareholders at a SGM of the Company approving the Agreement. There is no long-stop date for the Agreement.

The Directors, including independent non-executive directors (who have taken into account the advice of CIMB-GK), consider that the terms of the Agreement, including the consideration, was negotiated on an arm’s length basis and are on normal commercial terms and is fair and reasonable to and in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(b) Information on Palazzo Group

Palazzo, a wholly owned subsidiary directly held by the Company, is the holding company of all members of the Group which are engaged in the furniture business since the Group was listed on the Stock Exchange in 1994, at which time the Group was engaged in the furniture business. The Palazzo Group’s furniture business includes the manufacture and supply of office furniture in the PRC. It’s clientele includes multinational corporations and leading PRC enterprises. It has over 20 regional distribution channels across the PRC including 9 branches in major cities.

The unaudited net asset value of the Palazzo Group as at 31st December, 2004, which was prepared in accordance with Hong Kong GAAP, was HK$101,388,467. The unaudited net profits of the Palazzo Group before and after taxation for the year ended 31st December, 2003 were HK$12,700,890 and HK$10,177,270 respectively. The unaudited net profits of the Palazzo Group before and after taxation for the year ended 31st December, 2004 were HK$23,561,691 and HK$20,326,527 respectively.

After Completion, the Palazzo Group will cease to be subsidiaries of the Group.

(c) Reasons for the Disposal

The Group currently carries on 3 businesses namely semiconductor business, air-conditioner compressor business and office furniture business. The office furniture business is carried out by the Palazzo Group. As at 30th June, 2005, the turnover and operating profit contributions to the Group from the office furniture business were 5% and 2% respectively. These contributions were insignificant to the Group and by disposing of the office furniture business, the Group can focus its resources on its other two major growing core businesses. Moreover the disposal of the office furniture business will enhance the status of the Group as a technology based manufacturing enterprise.

(d) Financial effect of the Disposal on the Group

As at 30th June, 2005, the Palazzo Group’s unaudited after tax net profit, total assets and total liabilities represented only 2%, 3% and 2% of those of the Group. Hence the Disposal of the Palazzo Group will have insignificant impact on the financial results and position of the Group. The Group expects to record a gain on the Disposal of some HK$74,000,000 which the Group will recognise in its financial statements for the year ending 31st December, 2005. The gain comprises mainly the difference between the Disposal consideration and the expected net asset value of the Palazzo Group upon the completion of the Disposal.

The sales proceeds of the Disposal of HK$183,000,000 will be used to fund the working capital requirement of the Group’s growing semiconductor and airconditioner compressor businesses.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(e) Connected and Discloseable Transaction

Emax is a wholly owned subsidiary of CRH, which is a substantial and controlling shareholder of the Company. Emax is therefore a connected person of the Company. As such, the Disposal constitutes a connected transaction of the Company.

As the consideration of the Disposal exceeds 2.5% of each of the relevant percentage ratios as referred to in Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, the Disposal is subject to Independent Shareholders’ approval pursuant to Rule 14A.17 of the Listing Rules by way of poll at the SGM. CRH is the controlling Shareholder interested in approximately 73.07% in the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. As such, CRH and its associates shall abstain from voting at the SGM. Since the consideration also exceeds 5% but is less than 25% of each of the relevant percentage ratios set forth in Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules, the Disposal also constitutes a discloseable transaction under the Listing Rules.

3. SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

Set out on pages 23 to 24 of this circular is a notice convening the SGM to be held at Rooms 4003-06, 40th Floor, China Resources Building, 26 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong at 4:00 p.m. on Friday, 23rd December, 2005. The SGM will be held for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving the Agreement.

A form of proxy for use at the SGM is enclosed herewith. Whether or not you are able to attend the SGM, you are requested to complete and return the form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon to the principal place of business of the Company at Rooms 4003-06, 40th Floor, China Resources Building, 26 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible but in any event not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the SGM. Completion of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the SGM or any adjourned meeting should you so desire.

According to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote taken at the SGM shall be taken by way of poll. The Company shall announce the results of the poll in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

4. RECOMMENDATIONS

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

LETTER FROM CIMB-GK

CIMB-GK Securities (HK) Limited

25/F Central Tower 28 Queen’s Road Central Hong Kong

29th November, 2005

To the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders of China Resources Logic Limited

Dear Sirs,

DISCLOSEABLE AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION

We refer to our engagement as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in relation to the Agreement, details of which are contained in a circular (the “Circular”) to the Shareholders dated 29th November, 2005, of which this letter forms part. Expressions used in this letter have the same meanings as defined in the Circular unless the context otherwise requires.

An independent board committee comprising Messrs.

Any vote of the Independent Shareholders at the SGM shall be taken by poll. CRH and its associates will abstain from voting in relation to the resolution approving the Agreement.

In formulating our recommendation, we have relied on the information and facts contained or referred to in the Circular. The Directors have declared in a responsibility statement set out in the Appendix to the Circular that they jointly and severally accept full responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in the Circular.

LETTER FROM CIMB-GK

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion for the Agreement, we have considered the following principal factors and reasons:

Background and reasons

The Group is principally engaged in the semiconductor, air-conditioner compressor and office furniture businesses (the “Furniture Business”), which will be discontinued upon Completion.

As noted from the Company’s annual report 2004 and interim report 2005, the operating profit of the Furniture Business contributed to the Group only accounted for approximately 4.7%, 5.4% and 1.9% of the Group’s total operating profit for the two years ended 31st December, 2004 and the six months ended 30th June, 2005 respectively. It is stated in such financial reports that the Group will continue to expand its core businesses being the semiconductor and air-conditioner compressor businesses. The Company considers the contributions of the Furniture Business were relatively insignificant to the Group, and the Disposal will enable the Group to focus its resources on its semiconductor and air-conditioner compressor businesses.

We note that the Group would have available to it additional funds of HK$183 million from the Disposal, which will be used to provide further resources for the Group’s semiconductor and air-conditioner compressor businesses. As stated in the section headed “Letter from the Board” of the Circular, the one-off gain on the Disposal is expected to be approximately HK$74 million.

In view of the foregoing, we concur with the view of the Directors that the Disposal will enable the Company to apply additional resources for the Group’s existing core businesses, which is in line with the stated business objective of the Company, and is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Consideration

The consideration for the Disposal of HK$183 million (the “Consideration”) has been arrived at after arm’s length negotiations among the parties concerned with reference to the Palazzo Group’s recent financial performance, distribution network in the PRC and brand name in the PRC office furniture industry. The Consideration represents approximately 12 times the average of the net profit of the Palazzo Group for the two years ended 31st December, 2004 and approximately 1.8 times the net tangible asset value of the Palazzo Group as at 31st December, 2004.

LETTER FROM CIMB-GK

In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Consideration, we have identified and reviewed the financial performance of all of the comparable listed companies (the “Listed Comparables”) in Hong Kong whose principal business is engaged in the similar business as those of the Furniture Business as at the Latest Practicable Date. Details of the price-earnings ratio (“PER”) and the price to net tangible asset value (“PNTA”) of the Listed Comparables are as follows:

Name of the Listed Comparables Historic PER Historic PNTA

  2. It is principally engaged in manufacture of upholstered furniture and leather products in the PRC.

  3. It is principally engaged in manufacture and sale of home furniture, electronic components and products, contact and contactless smart card readers and related products, trading of building materials and sundry products, property holding and investment holding.

  4. It is principally engaged in manufacture, market and wholesale of residential furniture in United States of America.

  4. Based on the final offer price per offer share, the latest published audited financial statements and the statement of the unaudited pro forma adjusted net tangible assets disclosed in the relevant prospectus dated 7th November, 2005.

– 11 –

LETTER FROM CIMB-GK

As noted from the table above, the 12 times PER as implied under the Consideration falls within the range of the historical PER of the Listed Comparables and is higher than the average of the historical PER of the Listed Comparables of approximately 8.5 times. As a supplemental reference, we also note that the 1.8 times PNTA as implied under the Consideration falls within the range of the historical PNTA of the Listed Comparables and is comparable to the average of the historical PNTA of the Listed Comparables of approximately 2.1 times.

Having taken into account the above, we consider that the Consideration is fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

POSSIBLE FINANCIAL EFFECT

Net asset value

Given that the Consideration exceeds the net asset value of the Palazzo Group, the Disposal would have a positive impact on the net asset value (i.e. the shareholders fund) of the Group.

Earnings

The contribution of the Palazzo Group will cease upon Completion.

Working Capital

As the sale proceeds of the Disposal of HK$183 million will be payable in cash, the working capital position of the Group will be enhanced upon Completion.

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the principal factors and reasons referred to the above, we consider that the Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and the terms thereof are fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned. Accordingly, we advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Agreement.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of

CIMB-GK Securities (HK) Limited Alex Lau Flavia Hung Executive Vice President Senior Vice President
