LETTER FROM THE BOARD
2. ASSET SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT
(a) Date: 22nd June, 2006
-
(b) Parties: (i) ANST as purchaser;
-
(ii) CRL as guarantor for payment obligation of ANST;
-
(iii) SCC, an independent third party, as seller; and
-
(iv) SCL as guarantor for the performance and obligations of SCC.
(c) Transaction Nature
SCC, an independent third party, as seller agrees to sell to ANST and ANST as purchaser agrees to purchase the Assets described under the Asset Sale and Purchase Agreement. The Assets will be used by ANST in relation to expanding its capacity and volume of IC assembly and testing foundry business to serve the growing requirements from its current customers and from overseas customers to be referred to ANST by SCBL pursuant to Manufacturer’s Representative Agreement, which will be effective on 1st January, 2007.
(d) Consideration
ANST and SCC are in the same IC assembly and testing foundry business. Before ANST decided to purchase the Assets, which consists of fully operating equipment and machinery providing a broad spectrum of testing and packaging services, its professional staff had inspected and examined the Assets. The Assets are found to be (i) in good working conditions and (ii) entirely suitable for ANST’s business development. The consideration of the Assets is arrived at after due consideration and judgement by the Board which is based upon (i) ANST’s judgement basing on its experience, professional knowledge and familiarity with assets required for the conduct of its IC assembly and testing foundry business, (ii) the rarity of finding such a complete range of operating IC assembly and testing equipment available for sale and (iii) arm’s length basis negotiation and normal commercial terms.
Out of the total consideration of US$35,000,000, an initial amount of US$12,000,000 has been paid by ANST to SCC upon signing of the Asset Sale and Purchase Agreement. This initial amount of US$12,000,000 is wholly financed by borrowed funds. The balance of US$23,000,000 is payable by 4 instalments on a yearly basis on the last business day of each year from year 2007 to 2010. The payment will be satisfied partly by internal resources and partly by the revenue derived from the Transfer Customers under the Manufacturer’s Representative Agreement. The proportion of payment by internal resources and revenue derived from the Transfer Customers has not yet been determined. In any event, the full amount of US$23,000,000 will be made on or before 31st December, 2010. The Assets will be transferred in phases in accordance with the underlying business requirement of ANST and is expected to complete by end of May, 2007.
– 5 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
CRL will guarantee the payment of consideration obligation of ANST; whilst SCL will guarantee the due and punctural performance of SCC under the Asset Sale and Purchase Agreement.
(e) Information on the Assets
More than 1,000 sets of key assembly and testing equipment (for example, backgrind, wafer saw, die attach, wire bond, mold die, laser mark, test, handler) have been purchased by ANST from SCC. Before such sale, the Assets are used by SCC for its IC assembly and testing foundry business in Shanghai and are still in reasonably good working conditions. Upon the sale of the Assets, SCC will no longer carry on the business (business that utilizes the Assets) to be transferred to and performed by ANST. SCC will focus on more advanced leading edge areas of IC assembly and testing foundry business in which ANST will not be involved for the foreseeable future.
(f) Benefits of the Acquisition
Before they are sold, the Assets are employed by SCC for testing and packaging foundry in its service to international customers. ANST is capable of operating efficiently and effectively these Assets. The purchase of the Assets, together with the referral of Transfer Customers by SCBL to ANST pursuant to the Manufacturer’s Representative Agreement will enable ANST to benefit from having the ability to meet the booming Chinese IC market requirement as well as demand from the Transfer Customers and overseas customers. Further, these measures will allow ANST to increase significantly its production capacity and business scale, and expand its range of products and service coverage, especially test services which are hitherto not carried out by ANST. The Directors, including the independent non-executive Directors, consider the terms of the transaction including the consideration are, on normal commercial terms, are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole.
3. ESTABLISHMENT OF A JOINT VENURE COMPANY
(a) Background
Set out below was the company structure of the Group which are engaged in the IC assembly and testing foundry business before the Joint Venture Arrangement.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
(b) The Joint Venture
On 22nd June, 2006, CRL, Wuxi CRM, MAT, ANST and SCL (a third party independent of any members of the Group) entered into a joint venture arrangement (the “Joint Venture Arrangement”) to engage in the business of IC assembly and testing foundry provider (the “Business”). The Joint Venture Arrangement is evidenced by the above parties entering into a Subscription Agreement and a Joint Venture Agreement, details of which are set out below.
(i) Subscription Agreement
(a) Date: 22nd June, 2006
(b) Parties: (i) CRL; (ii) Wuxi CRM; (iii) MAT; and (iv) SCL.
(c) Major terms
MAT, an existing indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of the Company before the Joint Venture Arrangement, is the investment vehicle for the joint venture (the “JV Company”). Originally, the number of authorized shares of MAT was 50,000 shares at a par value of US$1.00 each; and Wuxi CRM held 1 share of MAT. The number of authorized shares of MAT has been increased from 50,000 shares to 4,000,000 shares. Wuxi CRM subscribed 2,999,999 shares (the “Wuxi New Shares”) by way of the total net asset value of ANST, as at 31st May, 2006 (which were unaudited and prepared in accordance with the Hong Kong GAAP and was US$18,207,471 and which SCL agrees to), together with cash (which was US$11,792,529) (the above two figures together make up a total of US$30,000,000) and SCL subscribed 1,000,000 shares (the “Subscription Shares”) by way of cash of US$10,000,000 with the result that Wuxi CRM and SCL respectively holds 75% and 25% of the enlarged issued share capital of the JV Company. After the above subscription, additional capital will be injected into ANST, the resulting ANST’s shareholder’s fund will be expanded to US$40,000,000. The Business of the JV Company will be carried out by ANST. The shareholders’ fund (net asset value) of MAT and ANST remain unchanged both before and after the Assets purchase by ANST because the initial amount of US$12,000,000 payable pursuant to the Assets purchase is wholly financed by borrowed funds. There would be no change to the net asset value of MAT and ANST when it comes to payment of the balance of the consideration of US$23,000,000 as the increase in total assets of MAT and ANST (i.e. by the amount US$23,000,000 as part of the value of the Assets) will be offset by ANST’s liability to pay the same amount. Apart from the US$30,000,000 committed, there are no further capital commitment by Wuxi CRM in the Joint Venture Arrangement.
– 7 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The completion (“Completion”) of the subscription of the Subscription Shares in MAT by SCL and the Wuxi New Shares by Wuxi CRM has taken place simultaneously upon the date of signing of the Subscription Agreement and the Joint Venture Agreement (the “Completion Date”).
CRL entered into the Subscription Agreement to guarantee the performance of Wuxi CRM.
After Completion, the company structure becomes:
==> picture [157 x 174] intentionally omitted <==
(d) Information on ANST
ANST was founded in 2003, with an initial registered share capital of RMB100,000,000. As of 31st May, 2006, the total asset and net asset of ANST were approximately RMB489 million and RMB147 million respectively. After SCL becomes a shareholder of MAT, MAT’s wholly owned subsidiary, ANST will expand its business scope, to focus on the rapidly growing international and domestic semiconductor markets, to provide IC assembly and testing foundry services to Fabless and IDM enterprises in the PRC and global semiconductor industry. The Assets acquired by ANST will be used for the purpose of the business of JV Company. ANST is now taking appropriate steps to obtain approvals from relevant authorities in the PRC to increase its registered capital from RMB100,000,000 to the RMB equivalent of US$40,000,000.
The audited revenues of ANST for the year ended 31st December, 2004 and 2005, which were prepared in accordance with the Hong Kong GAAP, were RMB 215,356,869 (equivalent to about HK$206,957,951) and RMB240,645,963 (equivalent to about HK$231,260,770) respectively. The audited net profits of ANST both before and after taxation for the year ended 31st December, 2004 and 2005 were RMB 19,154,778 (equivalent to about HK$18,407,742) and RMB14,881,678 (equivalent to about HK$14,301,292) respectively.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
(ii) Joint Venture Agreement
(a) Date: 22nd June, 2006
(b) Parties: (i) CRL; (ii) Wuxi CRM; (iii) MAT; (iv) ANST; and (v) SCL.
- (c) Duration
The Joint Venture Agreement is effective upon Completion Date. There is no specific period on its duration but is subject to the existence of ANST.
- (d) Other major terms
Major terms of the Joint Venture Agreement include, among others, the followings:
-
(i) The board of MAT shall comprise of four directors, with one director to be appointed by SCL.
-
(ii) Each of Wuxi CRM and SCL will exercise their respective rights as shareholders of MAT to ensure the Business and affairs of the JV Company and ANST shall be properly and efficiently managed and operated.
-
(iii) Each of Wuxi CRM and SCL undertakes to the other that each will not, as long as each is the shareholder of MAT, compete with the Business of the JV Company.
CRL entered into the Joint Venture Agreement to guarantee the performance of Wuxi CRM.
(iii) Benefit of entering into the Joint Venture Agreements
The SCL Group is one of the leading IC assembly and testing foundry provider in the world providing full turnkey solutions for high value added range of IC packaging and testing services. Both SCL Group and ANST are currently providing IC assembly and testing foundry services to their respective customers in different market segments. With the Assets transfer from SCC to ANST and with SCL as a partner and participation in the JV Company, ANST will be able to significantly expand its production capacity, upgrade its operation and broaden its customer base. Further, because of the referral of the Transfer Customers pursuant to the Manufacturer’s Representative Agreement, these Transfer Customers will be served by ANST in a more cost competitive and cost effective manner. Neither any member of CRL Group nor those of SCL Group will engage in any business which will compete with ANST for the same customer base and for the same domain of the IC assembly and testing foundry business (including those which ordinarily utilize the Assets acquired by ANST).
– 9 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
(iv) Discloseable Transaction
As the relevant percentage ratios in respect of the Joint Venture Arrangement together with the Acquisition in aggregate exceed 5% but are less than 25%, the entering into the Joint Venture Arrangement and the Acquisition constitute a discloseable transaction of the Company under the Listing Rules and is subject to the announcement, reporting and circular requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. MAT and ANST will continue to be a subsidiary of the Company after entering into of the Joint Venture Agreement.
(v) Financial effect on the Discloseable Transaction on the Group
With the Assets transfer from SCC to ANST and with SCL as a partner and participation in the JV Company, ANST will be able to significantly expand its production capacity, upgrade its operation and broaden its customer base. This would have a positive impact on the earnings base of the Group in the medium to long term future.
The sum expended by the Group in both the Assets Sale and Purchase Agreement and Joint Venture Arrangement (collectively the “Discloseable Transaction”) will be recorded in the Group’s account at exactly the same value as the consideration and capital commitment stated in section 2(d) and 3(b)(i)(c) in the “Letter from the Board” of this circular respectively. The Discloseable Transaction will not have any material effect on the asset and liability of the Group.
The US$10,000,000 contributed by SCL will provide a new funding to the Group which will be injected into ANST to serve its operating needs.
If the Joint Venture Arrangement is seen as a disposal of the enlarged issued share capital of MAT (since 25% of its enlarged issued share capital is subscribed by SCL), there is no gain or loss arising out of this disposal as SCL subscribed the shares of MAT at MAT’s consolidated net asset value. Both MAT and ANST remain as subsidiaries of the Group after the Acquisition and Joint Venture Arrangement.
4. GENERAL
The Group is engaged in the semiconductor and air-conditioner compressor business. The SCL Group including SCC is engaged in the IC assembly and testing foundry business.
Your attention is also drawn to the additional information set out in the Appendix of this circular.
Yours faithfully, On behalf of the Board
