REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITIONS
The Board considers that the Acquisitions are a step forward in expanding its presence in the electrical and mechanical sector. Upon completion of the Acquisitions, the Group will take a controlling stake in Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment through its holding of 82.74% equity interest in Tianjin Tai Kang, which will allow the Company to exercise control over the management and operations of Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment.
Moreover, the Group intends to expedite business restructuring and explore new businesses. Given Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment are key players in the hydraulic presses and hydroelectric equipment industries in the PRC respectively, the Acquisitions complement the Group’s future development and will be a key step in developing the electric and mechanical segment of the Group. As Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment both have a good business foundation and great development potential, the Board believes that the Acquisitions will further reinforce the Group’s revenue base and accordingly strengthen the Company’s competitiveness.
The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Acquisitions are on normal commercial terms and the Agreements are entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business and terms thereof are fair and reasonable and are in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITIONS
Upon completion of the Acquisitions, Tianjin Tai Kang will hold 78.45% of the registered capital of Tianduan and 100% equity interest of Tianfa Equipment. As Tianjin Tai Kang is a non wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the assets and liabilities of the Target Companies will be consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Group by applying the acquisition method.
– 9 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The financial effects of the Acquisitions on earnings, assets and liabilities of the Group are set out below as if the Acquisitions had been completed on 30 June 2012:
Assets and Liabilities
| The Group | The Enlarged Group | |
|---|---|---|
| (Immediately | (Immediately | |
| As at 30 June 2012 | Before Completion) | After Completion) |
| HK$’000 | HK$’000 | |
| Total assets | 14,675,079 | 16,375,428 |
| Total liabilities | 4,299,362 | 5,771,782 |
| Net assets | 10,375,717 | 10,603,645 |
The unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group is set out in Appendix IV to this circular.
Earnings
After completion of the Acquisitions, the financial results of the Target Companies will be consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Group. It is expected that the revenue and earnings of the Target Companies will be contributed to the performance of the Enlarged Group.
Upon completion of the Acquisitions, the gearing ratio of the Enlarged Group as measured by total bank borrowings to shareholder’s funds is expected to be maintained at similar level of the Group prior to the Acquisitions.
Goodwill is expected to arise from the Acquisitions due to the differences between the consideration of the Acquisitions and the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Target Companies. The amount of goodwill to be recognized will be subject to the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Target Companies at completion of the Acquisitions.
GENERAL
The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The principal activities of the Group are (i) utilities including supply of electricity, water, heat and thermal power; (ii) hotel; and (iii) strategic and other investments including investments in the production, sale and distribution of winery products, elevators and escalators and provision of port services in Tianjin.
The principal activities of Tianjin Benefo are manufacturing mechanic and electrical appliances, heavy duty plants and machineries, high-end machine tools and providing related services.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
Reference is made to the Company’s announcement dated 1 November 2012 in relation to the Acquisitions, the Company’s announcement dated 11 October 2011 and its circular dated 11 November 2011 in respect of the Previous Acquisition of 21.83% equity interest in Tianduan. Given that the Agreements were entered into within 12 months after the completion of the Previous Acquisition which was entered into by Tianjin Tai Kang with, among other, Tianjin Benefo, the Acquisitions are aggregated with the Previous Acquisition pursuant to Rule 14.22 and Rule 14A.25 of the Listing Rules.
As one of the applicable percentage ratios calculated in accordance with Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules for the Acquisitions exceeds 25% but is less than 100%, the Acquisitions constitute major transactions of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. In addition, the Acquisitions, when aggregated with the Previous Acquisition, remain classified as major transactions of the Company under the Listing Rules. Tianjin Benefo is currently holding 17.26% equity interest in Tianjin Tai Kang and is therefore a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. The Acquisitions also constitute connected transactions of the Company which are subject to the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
Under Rule 14A.43 of the Listing Rules, independent Shareholders’ approval for the Acquisitions may be obtained by written independent Shareholders’ approval in lieu of convening a general meeting if (i) no independent Shareholder is required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a general meeting for the approval of the Acquisitions; and (ii) written approval has been obtained from one or a closely allied group of Shareholders who together hold more than 50% in nominal value of the issued share capital of the Company having the right to attend and vote at general meetings.
Independent Shareholders’ approval
Tsinlien, a substantial Independent Shareholder directly and indirectly holding 625,071,143 shares of the Company (representing approximately 58.56% of the issued share capital of the Company) as at the Latest Practicable Date, has given its written approval for the Acquisitions pursuant to Rule 14A.43 of the Listing Rules. Since none of the Shareholders is materially interested in the Acquisitions, therefore no Shareholder would be required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a general meeting for the approval of the Acquisitions. The Company applied for and has been granted by the Stock Exchange a waiver pursuant to Rule 14A.43 of the Listing Rules that Independent Shareholders’ approval for the Acquisitions may be obtained by means of written approval from Tsinlien in lieu of holding a general meeting.
As no Director has a material interest in the Acquisitions, none of them were required to abstain from voting on the Board resolutions approving the Acquisitions.
– 11 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Board considers that the terms of the Acquisitions are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and would recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions approving the Acquisitions, the Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder if an extraordinary general meeting of the Company were to be convened.
RECOMMENDATION OF THE INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE
The Independent Board Committee has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders on whether the terms of the Agreements are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole. Investec has been appointed as independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders regarding the Acquisitions, the Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder.
Your attention is drawn to (i) the letter from the Independent Board Committee dated 22 November 2012 set out on page 13 of this circular which contains the recommendation from the Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders in relation to the Acquisitions; and (ii) the letter from Investec dated 22 November 2012 as set out on pages 14 to 28 of this circular which contains the recommendation from Investec to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in relation to the Acquisitions and the principal factors and reasons considered by Investec in arriving at its recommendation.

LETTER FROM INVESTEC
As one of the applicable percentage ratios calculated in accordance with Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules exceeds 25% but is less than 100%, the Acquisitions constitute major transactions for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. In addition, the Acquisitions, when aggregated with the Previous Acquisition, remain classified as major transactions of the Company under the Listing Rules. Tianjin Benefo is currently holding 17.26% equity interest in Tianjin Tai Kang and is therefore a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. The Acquisitions also constitute connected transactions for the Company which are subject to the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, Tsinlien, a substantial independent Shareholder directly and indirectly holding 625,071,143 Shares (representing approximately 58.56% of the entire issued share capital of the Company), has given its written approval for the Acquisitions pursuant to Rule 14A.43 of the Listing Rules. Since none of the Shareholders is materially interested in the Acquisitions, therefore no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a general meeting for the approval of the Acquisitions, the Company has been granted by the Stock Exchange a waiver pursuant to Rule 14A.43 of the Listing Rules that written Independent Shareholders’ approval for the Acquisitions may be obtained by means of written approval from Tsinlien in lieu of holding a general meeting.
THE INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE
The Board currently consists of 12 Directors, namely Mr. Yu Rumin, Mr. Wu Xuemin, Mr. Dai Yan, Mr. Bai Zhisheng, Mr. Zhang Wenli, Mr. Wang Zhiyong and Dr. Wang Weidong as executive Directors; Mr. Cheung Wing Yui, Edward and Dr. Chan Ching Har, Eliza as non-executive Directors; and Dr. Cheng Hon Kwan, Mr. Mak Kwai Wing, Alexander and Ms. Ng Yi Kum, Estella as independent non-executive Directors.
The Independent Board Committee comprising all independent non-executive Directors, namely, Dr. Cheng Hon Kwan, Mr. Mak Kwai Wing, Alexander and Ms. Ng Yi Kum, Estella, has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders as to (i) whether the terms of the Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned; and (ii) whether the Acquisitions and the transactions contemplated thereunder are on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
We have been appointed as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in these respects and to give our opinion in relation to the Agreements for the Independent Board Committee’s consideration when making its recommendation to the Independent Shareholders.
Apart from the normal advisory fee payable to us in connection with our appointment, with the approval of the Independent Board Committee, as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders, no arrangement exists whereby we shall receive any other fees or benefits from the Company.

(ii) Information of Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment
Tianduan
Tianduan is principally engaged in the manufacture and sale of presses and mechanical equipment, repair, installation, research and provision of consultation services of presses and wholesale and retail of accessories of presses. Tianjin Benefo, Tianjin Tai Kang, a non wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Mr. Wu Ri are interested in 56.62%, 21.83% and 21.55% of the equity interest of Tianduan, respectively.

LETTER FROM INVESTEC
For the six months ended 30 June 2012, the revenue of Tianduan amounted to approximately RMB340.9 million, which represented a decrease of approximately 18.7% from the same period in the previous year. Tianduan recorded a profit of approximately RMB21.0 million for the six months ended 30 June 2012, which represented a decrease of approximately 44.5% compared to the same period of last year. The management of the Company understands that such decrease was mainly attributable to the low orders for Tianduan’s products during the first six months of 2012 but orders have recovered after June 2012. Based on the information provided by the Company and our discussion with the management of the Company, we note that the aggregate amount of orders for Tianduan’s products in the third quarter of 2012 exceeded those of both the first and second quarter in 2012, respectively.

Tianfa Equipment recorded a profit of approximately RMB19.0 million for the six months ended 30 June 2012, which represented an increase of approximately 263.9% compared to the same period of last year, which was mainly attributable to the increase in revenue during the said period.
(iii) Reasons for the Acquisitions
As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Acquisitions represent a step forward in expanding the presence of the Group in the electrical and mechanical sector. The Group will take a controlling stake in Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment through its holding of 82.74% equity interest in Tianjin Tai Kang upon the completion of the Acquisitions, which will allow the Company to exercise control over the management and operations of Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment.
The Group also intends to expedite business restructuring and explore new businesses. Given Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment are key players in the hydraulic presses and hydroelectric industries in the PRC respectively, the Acquisitions complement the future development of the Group and would be a key step in developing the electric and mechanical segment of the Group.
(iv) Fixed asset and industrial investment and hydroelectric capacities in the PRC
According to the report titled ‘‘Statistical Communique on the 2011 National Economic and Social Development’’ by the National Bureau of Statistics of the PRC, the fixed asset investment in the PRC has grown by approximately 23.8% to approximately RMB31.1 trillion in 2011. Based on the report titled ‘‘Investment in Fixed Assets (Excluding Rural Households) (2012.01–08)’’, in the first eight months of 2012, fixed asset investment in the PRC, excluding rural households, amounted to approximately RMB21.8 trillion, representing a growth of approximately 25.6% over the same period in 2011. Both of the abovementioned reports are available on www.stats.gov.cn.
Based on the report titled ‘‘2011年工業投資情況’’ (Industrial Investment in 2011) by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the PRC, industrial fixed asset investment in the PRC amounted to approximately RMB12.9 trillion in 2011, representing a growth of approximately 26.9% over 2010. Based on the report titled ‘‘1–8月工業投資增速回落’’ (Moderation in growth rate of industrial investment in January to August), in the first eight months of 2012, industrial fixed asset investment was approximately RMB9.5 trillion, representing a growth of approximately 23.0% over the same period in 2011, which was slightly below the growth rate for the first seven months of 2012. Both of the above-mentioned reports are available on www.miit.gov.cn.

LETTER FROM INVESTEC
As Tianduan is engaged in the manufacture and sale of hydraulic presses and related operations, which are used in various industrial sectors, the management of the Company believes that the continued growth in fixed asset investment would provide a growing market for Tianduan’s products.
Moreover, as set out in the twelfth five-year plan* (十二五規劃), the PRC Government has designated the development of renewable energies, including hydroelectric capacities in the PRC, as a key policy initiative during 2011–2015. The management of the Company believes that such policy offers a favourable operating environment for Tianfa Equipment as the development of hydroelectric capacities in the PRC might create additional demand for the products of Tianfa Equipment.

LETTER FROM INVESTEC
2.3 Evaluation of the consideration for the Acquisitions
For the purpose of assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the consideration for the Acquisitions, the Valuer was appointed to evaluate the market value of the entire equity interest of Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment as at 30 September 2012.
We have reviewed the valuation reports prepared by the Valuer. We have also discussed with the Valuer and understand that the Valuer has considered three different generally accepted valuation methods, namely the market approach, the cost approach and the income approach in arriving at the market value of the entire equity interest in Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment. Based on our discussions with the Valuer, the Valuer considers that it is inappropriate to adopt the income approach and the cost approach for the purpose of valuing the entire equity interest in Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment. Given that the cost approach does not consider the going concern of Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment and the income approach has more reliance on financial estimation, the Valuer considers the market approach as the only appropriate approach for the purpose of valuing the entire equity interest in Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment. Based on our discussions with the Valuer, we consider that the adoption of the market approach to value the entire equity interest in Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment is appropriate.
Based on our discussions with the Valuer, in assessing the market value of the entire equity interest in Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment, we note that the Valuer has identified comparable companies listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and the Shanghai Stock Exchange focusing on the same or similar industries as Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment respectively which report positive earnings. Accordingly, the Valuer has selected three comparables for Tianduan and seven comparables for Tianfa Equipment. Please refer to the valuation reports of Tianduan as set out in Appendix VI and Tianfa Equipment as set out in Appendix VII respectively to the Circular for further details.
By adopting the market approach, the Valuer has selected the enterprise value (‘‘EV’’) to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (‘‘EBITDA’’) multiple (‘‘EV/EBITDA’’) of the comparables as the appropriate multiple as EBITDA is an accounting metric that represents earning power that can be compared across companies since (i) EBITDA is not affected by the differences in tax rates, capital structure and capital invested; and (ii) EV/ EBITDA has been proven to be a reliable ratio for pricing manufacturing companies. Based on our discussions with the Valuer, we understand that the EV/ EBITDA is one of the reliable ratios as EV/EBITDA considers an entity’s cash flow level as an indicator of a company’s value. We also understand from the Valuer that the EV/EBITDA adopted for the valuation of Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment was based on a number of factors, in particular, the EV/EBITDA of the comparables. The Valuer has further adjusted the EV/EBITDA of the comparables to reflect differences in the EBITDA and earnings before interest and
– 23 –
LETTER FROM INVESTEC
tax margins, growth rates, capital structure and the discount for a private company between Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment and the comparables. In addition, the Valuer has applied a marketability discount of 30% to arrive at the market value of the entire equity interest in Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment to reflect the differences in liquidity between Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment, which are private companies, and the comparables, which are public companies. Moreover, as stated in the valuation reports set out in Appendices VI and VII, the Valuer has used the trailing 12 month EBITDA of Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment for the period ended 30 June 2012 for the purpose of evaluating the market value of the entire equity interest of Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment. The Valuer has confirmed that the methodology of EV/EBITDA and the marketability discount are commonly used in the valuation of manufacturing businesses.
As assessed by the Valuer, the market value of 100% equity interest in Tianduan is valued at approximately RMB805.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$990.1 million) as at 30 September 2012. Accordingly, the market value for 56.62% equity interest in Tianduan under the Tianduan Acquisition, the Tianduan Equity Interest, is approximately RMB455.8 million (equivalent to approximately HK$560.6) million. Accordingly, the consideration for the Tianduan Equity Interest of RMB455,557,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$560,334,000) under the Tianduan Acquisition is slightly below the corresponding market value as assessed by the Valuer.
As assessed by the Valuer, the market value of 100% equity interest in Tianfa Equipment is valued at approximately RMB484.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$595.3 million) as at 30 September 2012. Accordingly, the market value for 66% equity interest in Tianfa Equipment under the Tianfa Equipment Acquisition, the Tianfa Equipment Equity Interest, is approximately RMB319.4 million (equivalent to approximately HK$392.9 million). The consideration for the Tianfa Equipment Equity Interest of RMB301,984,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$371,439,000) under the Tianfa Equipment Acquisition represents a discount of approximately 5.5% to the corresponding market value as assessed by the Valuer.
To further evaluate the consideration for the Acquisitions, we have also compared the price to earnings multiple (‘‘P/E’’) and the price to book value multiple (‘‘P/B’’) of the respective comparables identified by the Valuer focusing on the same or similar industries as Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment as discussed above against the P/E and P/B of the Acquisitions represented by the consideration of the Acquisitions. As far as we are aware of, none of the listed companies on Stock Exchange focus on the same or similar industries as Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment. Moreover, the comparables identified by the Valuer operate in the same markets and industries as Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment. Accordingly, we have used comparables identified by the Valuer in our analysis.

Taking into account the background to, and reasons for, the Agreements, including (i) the Group’s intention to expanding its presence in the electrical and mechanical sector; (ii) the consideration for the Tianduan Acquisition is slightly below the corresponding market value as assessed by the Valuer; (iii) the corresponding market value as assessed by the Valuer for the Tianduan Acquisition is based on the trailing 12 month EBITDA for the period 30 June 2012, which reflects the lower operating results of Tianduan for the six months ended 30 June 2012; (iv) the consideration for the Tianfa Equipment Acquisition represents a discount of approximately 5.5% to the corresponding market value as assessed by the Valuer; and (v) the P/E and P/B calculated in respected of the Acquisitions are either below or within the range of the respective comparables, we concur with the view of the Directors that the entering into of the Agreements to be fair and reasonable and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
3. Possible financial effects of the Acquisitions to the Group
Upon completion of the Acquisitions, Tianjin Tai Kang would hold 78.45% of the registered capital of in Tianduan and 100% equity interest in Tianfa Equipment and their respective financial results, assets and liabilities would be consolidated into the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
(i) Earnings
Based on the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group as at 31 December 2011, the Group recorded an audited profit of approximately HK$507.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2011. Based on the accountants’ report on Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment as set out in Appendices II and III respectively, the audited profit for the year ended 31 December 2011 of Tianduan amounted to approximately RMB56.4 million (equivalent to approximately HK$69.4 million) and audited net profit of Tianfa Equipment for the same period amounted to approximately RMB20.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$24.6 million). The earnings of Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment would be consolidated into the Group’s financial statements upon completion of the Acquisitions.
(ii) Assets and liabilities
Based on the unaudited pro forma statement of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix IV to the Circular and assuming the completion of the Acquisitions had taken place on 30 June 2012, as a result of the Acquisitions, the total assets would increase by approximately 11.6% to approximately HK$16.4 billion; the total liabilities would increase by approximately 34.2% to approximately HK$5.8 billion; net current assets would decrease by approximately 9.0% to approximately HK$4.0 billion; and the net assets would increase by approximately 2.2% to approximately HK$10.6 billion.

LETTER FROM INVESTEC
On the basis that, upon completion of the Acquisitions, the consideration for the Acquisitions is satisfied by cash according to the terms set out in the Agreements, the consolidated assets of Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment into the Group’s financial statements will be partly offset by the decrease in ‘‘cash and cash equivalents’’ by an amount equivalent to the aggregate consideration of RMB757,541,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$931,773,000). Based on the unaudited cash and cash equivalents of the Group of approximately HK$3,102.7 million as at 30 June 2012, the management of the Company believes that the Group has sufficient internal resources to finance the Acquisitions.
Goodwill is expected to arise from the Acquisitions due to the differences between the consideration of the Acquisitions and the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment. The amount of goodwill to be recognised will be subject to the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment at completion of the Acquisitions.
RECOMMENDATION
Having considered the above principal factors and reasons, we are of the opinion that the terms of the Agreements are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned. We also consider that the Acquisitions are in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole, and are in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company. Therefore, we would advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution to be proposed to approve the Acquisitions and the transactions contemplated thereunder if a physical Shareholders’ meeting was to be held.
Yours faithfully For and on behalf of Investec Capital Asia Limited Jimmy Chung Managing Director, Corporate Finance

APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
For the purpose of this indebtedness statement, foreign currency amounts have been translated at the approximate exchange rates prevailing at the close of business on 30 September 2012.
WORKING CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, taking into account the financial resources presently available to the Enlarged Group including the internally generated funds and the available banking facilities, the Directors are of opinion that the Enlarged Group has sufficient working capital for its present requirements that is for at least the next 12 months from the date of publication of this circular.
FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP
The Group is committed to optimize its business structure and to actively participate in the restructuring of state-owned assets in Tianjin. The global economic and political situation will remain volatile and become more complicated as various uncertainties stemming from the Eurozone debt crisis and slow recovery of the U.S. economy have resulted in weak demand and high unemployment. The economy of China will be inevitably affected. Nonetheless, with the implementation of new incentive measures, it is expected that China’s economy will continue to record steady growth in the rest of 2012 and beyond.
As the Group strives to expedite business restructuring and explore new businesses, and Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment are key players in the hydraulic presses and hydroelectric equipment industries in the PRC respectively, the Acquisitions will complement the Enlarged Group’s future development. Furthermore, given Tianduan and Tianfa Equipment have a good business foundation and great development potential, the Board believes that the Acquisitions will further strengthen the Enlarged Group’s revenue and earnings base and is confident for the future of the Enlarged Group.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TIANDUAN GROUP
APPENDIX II
In our opinion, the Financial Information gives, for the purpose of this report, a true and fair view of the state of affairs of Tianduan and the Tianduan Group as at 31 December 2009, 2010 and 2011 and 30 June 2012 and of the consolidated results and cash flows of the Tianduan Group for the Relevant Period.
The comparative consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows of the Tianduan Group for the six months ended 30 June 2011 together with the notes thereon have been extracted from the Tianduan Group’s unaudited consolidated financial information for the same period (the ‘‘June 2011 Financial Information’’) which was prepared by the directors of Tianduan solely for the purpose of this report. We conducted our review on the June 2011 Financial Information in accordance with the Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2400 ‘‘Engagements to Review Financial Statements’’ issued by the HKICPA. Our review of the June 2011 Financial Information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the June 2011 Financial Information. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the June 2011 Financial Information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting policies consistent with those used in the preparation of the Financial Information which conform with HKFRSs.

Significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies are set out below.
- (a) Group accounting
The Financial Information include the financial statements of Tianduan and all its subsidiaries.
– 44 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TIANDUAN GROUP
APPENDIX II
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Tianduan Group in the preparation of the Financial Information.
(i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Tianduan Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Tianduan Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Tianduan Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
When the Tianduan Group losses control of a subsidiary, it (i) derecognizes the assets (including any goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary at their carrying amounts at the date when control is lost; (ii) derecognizes the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost (including any components of other comprehensive income attributable to them); and (iii) recognizes the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest, with any resulting difference being recognized as a gain or loss in profit or loss attributable to the Tianduan Group. When assets of the subsidiary are carried at revalued amounts or fair values and the related cumulative gain or loss has been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are accounted for as if the Tianduan Group had directly disposed of the related assets (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings as specified by applicable HKFRSs). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a jointly controlled entity.
Investments in subsidiaries are carried on the balance sheet of Tianduan at cost together with advances by Tianduan which are neither planned nor likely to be settled in the foreseeable future, less provision for impairment. Provision for impairment in a subsidiary is made when the recoverable amount of the subsidiary is lower than Tianduan’s respective cost of investment. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by Tianduan on the basis of dividend income.
(ii) Non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are presented separately from the Tianduan Group’s equity therein.
Total comprehensive income and expense of a subsidiary is attributed to the owners of Tianduan and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
(iii) Goodwill
Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses, if any, and is presented separately in the consolidated balance sheet.
– 45 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TIANDUAN GROUP
APPENDIX II
For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the cash generating units that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
A cash generating unit (‘‘CGU’’) to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually or more frequently whenever there is indication that the unit may be impaired. For goodwill arising on an acquisition in a reporting period, the CGU to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment before the end of that reporting period. If the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognized directly in profit or loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
On disposal of the relevant CGU, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the amount of profit or loss on disposal.
(b) Segment reporting
It requires a ‘‘management approach’’ under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the board of directors that makes strategic decisions.
(c) Foreign currency translation
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Tianduan Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the ‘‘functional currency’’). The Financial Information is presented in Renminbi, which is the same as the functional currency of Tianduan.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the functional currency of the relevant entities using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transaction, from the retranslation of non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies at the rates prevailing on the date when fair value was determined, and from the retranslation at year-end/period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
(d) Property, plant and equipment
Buildings comprise mainly factory and office premises. All property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation and impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Tianduan Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount
– 46 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TIANDUAN GROUP
APPENDIX II
of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance expenses are charged in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.
No depreciation is provided for construction in progress until construction is completed and ready for intended use.
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (Note 2(f)).
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
(e) Land use right
When a lease includes both land and building elements, the Tianduan Group assesses the classification of each element as a finance or an operating lease separately based on the assessment as to whether substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of each element have been transferred to the Tianduan Group, unless it is clear that both elements are operating leases in which case the entire lease is classified as an operating lease. Specifically, the minimum lease payments (including any lump-sum upfront payments) are allocated between the land and the building elements in proportion to the relative fair values of the leasehold interests in the land element and building element of the lease at the inception of the lease.
To the extent the allocation of the lease payments can be made reliably, interest in leasehold land that is accounted for as an operating lease is presented as ‘‘land use right’’ in the balance sheets and is released over the lease term on a straight-line basis. When the lease payments cannot be allocated reliably between the land and building elements, the entire lease is generally classified as a finance lease and accounted for as property, plant and equipment.
(f) Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that do not have an indefinite useful life are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (i.e. CGU). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each balance sheet date and reverse to profit or loss.
(g) Financial assets
The Tianduan Group’s and Tianduan’s financial assets are classified as loans and receivables.
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on trade date when the Tianduan Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Tianduan Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.
– 47 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TIANDUAN GROUP
APPENDIX II
The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those with expected or actual maturities greater than twelve months after the balance sheet date which are classified as non-current assets.
Loans and receivable are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including trade and other receivables, notes receivable, amounts due from subsidiaries, amounts due from the Tianjin Benefo Group, entrusted deposit, restricted bank balances and cash and cash equivalents) are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or a financial liability and of allocating interest income or interest expenses over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments (including all fees paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset or a financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Interest income or expenses is recognized on an effective interest basis for debt instruments.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of the reporting period. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have been affected.
Objective evidence of impairment could include:
-
. significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or
-
. breach of contract, such as default or delinquency in interest and principal payments; or
-
. it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganization.
For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade receivables, that are assessed not to be impaired individually are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Tianduan Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the credit period, and observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.
– 48 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TIANDUAN GROUP
APPENDIX II
For financial assets carried at amortized cost, an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment losses was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.
The carrying amount of the financial asset carried at amortized cost is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to profit or loss.
(h) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost comprises materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of production overheads calculated on a weighted average basis. Net realizable value is determined on the basis of anticipated sales proceed less estimated cost to completion and selling expenses.
(i) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
(j) Registered capital
Registered capital is classified as equity. Equity instruments issued by Tianduan are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
(k) Borrowings
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Tianduan Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date. (l) Trade payables, notes payable, other payables and amounts due to the Tianjin Benefo Group/ subsidiaries
These amounts are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
The Tianduan Group and Tianduan derecognize financial liabilities when, and only when, the Tianduan Group’s and Tianduan’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss.
– 49 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TIANDUAN GROUP
APPENDIX II
(m) Current and deferred income tax
The tax expense for the year/period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in equity.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where Tianduan and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is recognized using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the Financial Information. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Tianduan Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
(n) Employee benefits
Employees of the Tianduan Group in the PRC are members of state-managed employee pension scheme operated by the Tianjin Municipal People’s Government which undertakes to assume the retirement benefit obligations of all existing and future retired employees. The Tianduan Group’s obligation is to make the required contributions under the scheme. The scheme is defined contribution plan. All these contributions are based on a certain percentage of the staff’s salary and are charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as incurred.
(o) Revenue and income recognition
Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and rendering of services in the ordinary course of the Tianduan Group’s activities. Revenue is shown net of value-added tax, business tax, returns and discounts. Revenue and other income is recognized as follows:
-
(i) Sales of machines and spare parts are recognized when goods are delivered to customers.
-
(ii) Revenue from machine construction contracts is recognized as the percentage of completion method, measured by reference to the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date bear to estimated total costs.
-
(iii) Interest income is accrued on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.
– 50 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TIANDUAN GROUP
APPENDIX II
(p) Machine construction contracts
Where the outcome of a machine construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting period, measured based on the proportion that contract costs incurred for work performed to date relative to the estimated total contract costs, except where this would not be representative of the stage of completion.
Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent that the amount can be measured reliably and its receipt is considered probable.
Where the outcome of a machine construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable. Contract costs are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.
When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognized as an expense immediately.
Where contract costs incurred to date plus recognized profits less recognized losses exceed progress billings, the surplus is shown as amounts due from customers for contract work. For contracts where progress billings exceed contract costs incurred to date plus recognized profits less recognized losses, the surplus is shown as amounts due to customers for contract work. Amounts received before the related work is performed are included in the balance sheets, as a liability, as advances received. Amounts billed for work performed but not yet paid by the customer are included in the balance sheets under trade receivables.
(q) Government grants
Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Tianduan Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.
Government grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Tianduan Group recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Government grants related to depreciable assets are recognized as deferred income in the balance sheets and transferred to profit or loss over the useful lives of the related assets. Other government grants are recognized as revenue over the periods necessary to match them with the costs for which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis. Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Tianduan Group with no future related costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.
(r) Research and development expenditure
Expenditure on research activities is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.
An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development activities is recognized if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:
-
. the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
-
. the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
-
. the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
– 51 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TIANDUAN GROUP
APPENDIX II
-
. how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
-
. the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and
-
. the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.
The amount initially recognized for internally-generated intangible asset is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognized, development expenditure is charged to profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible asset is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses (if any), on the same basis as intangible assets acquired separately.
(s) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalized during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. Other borrowing costs are expensed.
(t) Operating lease
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
(u) Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Tianduan Group. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognized because it is not probable that outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably.
A contingent liability is not recognized but is disclosed in the notes to the Financial Information. When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that outflow is probable, they will then be recognized as a provision.

APPENDIX II
3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Financial risk factors
The Tianduan Group’s and Tianduan’s activities expose them to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk), credit and counterparty risk and liquidity risk. The Tianduan Group’s and Tianduan’s financial risk management focus on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on their financial performance by actively managing debt level and cash flow in order to maintain a strong balance sheet and to minimize refinancing and liquidity risks by attaining healthy debt repayment capacity, appropriate maturity profile and availability of banking facilities. The Tianduan Group and Tianduan adhere to a policy of financial prudence and did not use any derivative financial instruments or structured financial products during the Relevant Period.
(a) Market risk
(i) Foreign exchange risk
The Tianduan Group and Tianduan have foreign currency sales, which expose the Tianduan Group and Tianduan to foreign currency risk.
The actual foreign exchange risk faced by the Tianduan Group and Tianduan therefore primarily with respect to its bank balances and trade receivables which are denominated in currencies (mainly United States dollars ‘‘US$’’) other than the functional currency of the relevant group entities (collectively ‘‘Non-Functional Currency Items’’).
At 31 December 2009, 2010 and 2011 and 30 June 2012, with all other variables held constant, if US$ had strengthened/weakened against Renminbi by 5%, the Tianduan Group’s and Tianduan’s profit for the year of 2009, 2010 and 2011 and the period of 30 June 2012 would have been favourably/unfavourably impacted by approximately RMB15,000, RMB25,000, RMB178,000 and RMB26,000 respectively as a result of the translation of those Non-Functional Currency Items.
(ii) Interest rate risk
Other than the entrusted deposit and bank balances and deposits specified in Notes 22 and 23 respectively (the ‘‘Interest Bearing Assets’’), the Tianduan Group and Tianduan have no other significant Interest Bearing Assets.
The Tianduan Group and Tianduan are exposed to cash flow interest rate risk due to the fluctuation of the prevailing market interest rates on its bank balances and deposits.
The Tianduan Group’s and Tianduan’s entrusted deposit carries a fixed rate and therefore exposes it to fair value interest rate risk. Management believes that the fixed rate deposit provides the Tianduan Group and Tianduan with a steady income stream and is consistent with the Tianduan Group’s and Tianduan’s treasury management policy.
– 53 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TIANDUAN GROUP
APPENDIX II
The Tianduan Group’s and Tianduan’s interest rate risk also arises from bank borrowings (the ‘‘Interest Bearing Liabilities’’) set out in Note 28. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Tianduan Group and Tianduan to fair value interest rate risk. The Tianduan Group’s and Tianduan’s policy are to maintain a portfolio of borrowings subject to fixed interest rates. The Tianduan Group and Tianduan also analyse the interest rate exposure periodically by considering refinancing, renewal of existing positions and alternative financing. The Tianduan Group’s and Tianduan’s Interest Bearing Liabilities include borrowings at fixed rates as follows:
| Borrowings at fixed rates | At 31 December 2009 2010 2011 RMB’000 RMB’000 RMB’000 43,198 19,500 — |
At 31 December 2009 2010 2011 RMB’000 RMB’000 RMB’000 43,198 19,500 — |
At 30 June |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2009 RMB’000 43,198 |
2010 RMB’000 19,500 |
2012 RMB’000 — |
If interest rate had been 25 basis points higher/lower for bank balances and deposits and with all other variables held constant, the Tianduan Group’s and Tianduan’s profit for the years ended 31 December 2009, 2010 and 2011 and for the period ended 30 June 2012 would increase/decrease by RMB255,000, RMB185,000, RMB343,000 and RMB238,000 respectively.
The Tianduan Group and Tianduan have not used any interest rate swaps to hedge their exposure to interest rate risk.
(b) Credit and counterparty risk
Credit risk mainly arises from bank deposits maintained with banks and other financial institutions, entrusted deposit placed in a financial institution, as well as credit exposures to customers, the Tianjin Benefo Group, outstanding trade receivables balance and other debtors. The carrying amounts of these balances substantially represent the Tianduan Group’s and Tianduan’s maximum exposure to credit and counterparty risk as at the end of each reporting period.
A significant portion of the Tianduan Group’s and Tianduan’s bank deposits and entrusted deposit are placed with state-owned banks and other financial institutions. The Tianduan Group and Tianduan had a significant concentration of credit risk at 31 December 2011 because it had placed an entrusted deposit approximately RMB50 million with a state-owned financial institution based in Tianjin, PRC. The directors of Tianduan consider that no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of this balance as there has not been a significant change in credit quality of the counter-party.
The Tianduan Group and Tianduan have policies in place to ensure that provision of services are made to customers with an appropriate credit history and the Tianduan Group and Tianduan perform periodic credit evaluations of their customers. According to the Tianduan Group’s and Tianduan’s historical experience, the irrecoverable trade and other receivables do not exceed the recorded allowances and the directors of Tianduan are of the opinion that adequate provision for uncollectible accounts receivable has been made in the Financial Information.
(c) Liquidity risk
The Tianduan Group and Tianduan adopt prudent liquidity risk management which includes maintaining sufficient bank balances and cash and having funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. The Tianduan Group and Tianduan aim to maintain flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available.
– 54 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TIANDUAN GROUP
APPENDIX II
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Tianduan Group’s and Tianduan’s liquidity reserve comprising undrawn borrowing facility and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flow.
The Tianduan Group’s and Tianduan’s financial liabilities will be settled within one year based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date.
Capital risk management
The Tianduan Group’s and Tianduan’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. Total capital is calculated as equity attributable to the owners of Tianduan as shown in the consolidated balance sheet.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Tianduan Group and Tianduan may adjust the amount of dividends paid to stakeholders, return capital to stakeholders or sell assets to reduce debt. The Tianduan Group’s and Tianduan’s policy were unchanged throughout the Relevant Period.
The categories of financial instruments of the Tianduan Group are as follows:
Categories of financial instruments
| Financial assets Loans and receivables (including cash and cash equivalents) Financial liabilities Financial liabilities at amortized cost |
At 31 December 2009 2010 2011 RMB’000 RMB’000 RMB’000 335,032 427,355 480,317 407,967 592,201 445,953 |

Fair value estimation
The fair values of cash and bank deposits, trade receivables, notes receivable, other receivables, entrusted deposit, trade payables, notes payable, other payable, current bank borrowings and balances with subsidiaries and the Tianjin Benefo Group are considered to be approximate their carrying amount due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATE AND JUDGEMENTS
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the results and the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of the Tianduan Group are discussed below.
(a) Machine construction contracts
The Tianduan Group recognizes contract revenue and profit of machine construction contracts according to the management’s estimation of the final outcome of the projects as well as the percentage of completion of machine construction works. Notwithstanding that management closely reviews and revises the estimates of both contract revenue and costs for the machine construction contracts according to the contract progresses, the actual outcome of the contracts in terms of their total revenue and costs may be higher or lower than the estimates and this will affect the amount of revenue and profit recognized in subsequent periods.
(b) Impairment loss on trade receivables
The assessment of the impairment loss on trade receivables of the Tianduan Group is based on the evaluation of collectability and ageing analysis of accounts and on management’s judgment. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the ultimate realization of these receivables, including the current creditworthiness of each customer. If the financial conditions of the customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. Impairment is made based on the estimation of the future cash flow discounted at the original effective rate to calculate the present value.
5. SEGMENT INFORMATION
An analysis of the Tianduan Group’s revenue is as follows:

As the Tianduan Group derives all its revenue from the manufacture and sale of machineries and related accessories in the PRC, the chief operating decision maker of the Tianduan Group has determined that, for the purpose of resources allocation and performance evaluation, the entire Tianduan Group is a single operating and reportable segment.
The chief operating decision maker monitors the revenue, result, assets and liabilities of its business unit as a whole based on the monthly management accounts which are substantially in conformity with HKFRSs and considers the segment assets and segment liabilities of the Tianduan Group included all assets and liabilities as stated in the consolidated balance sheets respectively, and considers the segment revenue and segment result of the Tianduan Group represented revenue and profit for the year/period as stated in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income respectively.
Furthermore, as all the non-current assets of the Tianduan Group are physically located in the PRC, no geographical information is presented.

This goodwill is attributable to the Tianduan Group’s interests in Tianduan Ruifung which is a CGU on its own.
During the Relevant Period, the directors of Tianduan determined that there was no impairment of this CGU.
For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount of the goodwill has been determined based on a value-in-use calculation. That calculation uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five-year period and a discount rate of 8.4%, 9.11%, 9.24%, 9.24% for the year

ended 31 December 2009, 2010, 2011 and six months ended 30 June 2012. The growth rate used is based on management’s best estimation on growth forecasts and does not exceed the average long-term growth rate for the relevant markets. Other key assumptions for the value-in-use calculations relate to the estimation of cash inflows/outflows which include budgeted sales and gross margin. Such estimation is based on the unit’s past performance and management’s expectations for the market development. The directors of Tianduan believe that any reasonably possible change in any of these assumptions will not cause the recoverable amount of the CGU to fall below its carrying amount.

We conducted our review on the June 2011 Financial Information in accordance with the Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2400 ‘‘Engagements to Review Financial Statements’’ issued by the HKICPA. Our review of the June 2011 Financial Information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the June 2011 Financial Information. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the June 2011 Financial Information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting policies consistent with those used in the preparation of the Financial Information which conform with HKFRSs.

Buildings comprise mainly factory and office premises. All property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation and impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to Tianfa Equipment and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance expenses are charged in the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.
No depreciation is provided for construction in progress until construction is completed and ready for intended use.
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (Note 2(e)).
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.
(d) Land use rights
When a lease includes both land and building elements, Tianfa Equipment assesses the classification of each element as a finance or an operating lease separately based on the assessment as to whether substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of each element have been transferred to Tianfa Equipment, unless it is clear that both elements are operating leases in which case the entire lease is classified as an operating lease. Specifically, the minimum lease payments (including any lump-sum upfront payments) are allocated between the land and the building elements in proportion to the relative fair values of the leasehold interests in the land element and building element of the lease at the inception of the lease.
– 93 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF TIANFA EQUIPMENT
APPENDIX III
To the extent the allocation of the lease payments can be made reliably, interest in leasehold land that is accounted for as an operating lease is presented as ‘‘land use rights’’ in the balance sheet and is released over the lease term on a straight-line basis. When the lease payments cannot be allocated reliably between the land and building elements, the entire lease is generally classified as a finance lease and accounted for as property, plant and equipment.
(e) Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that do not have an indefinite useful life are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (i.e. cash generating unit, ‘‘CGU’’). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each balance sheet date and reverse to profit or loss.
(f) Financial assets
Tianfa Equipment’s financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and loans and receivables.
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on trade date when Tianfa Equipment commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and Tianfa Equipment has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.
The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss comprise financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if it is acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term.
Assets in this category are initially recognized at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the statement of comprehensive income, and are subsequently remeasured at their fair values. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair values are included in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.
Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as part of other income when Tianfa Equipment’s right to receive payments is established.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those with expected or actual maturities greater than twelve months after the balance sheet date which are classified as non-current assets.
– 94 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF TIANFA EQUIPMENT
APPENDIX III
Loans and receivable are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including trade and other receivables, notes receivable, amounts due from the Tianjin Benefo Group, restricted bank balances and cash and cash equivalents) are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or a financial liability and of allocating interest income or interest expenses over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments (including all fees paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset or a financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Interest income or expense is recognized on an effective interest basis for debt instruments.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of the reporting period. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have been affected.
Objective evidence of impairment could include:
-
. significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or
-
. breach of contract, such as default or delinquency in interest and principal payments; or
-
. it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganization.
For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade receivables, that are assessed not to be impaired individually are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include Tianfa Equipment’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the credit period, and observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.
For financial assets carried at amortized cost, an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment losses was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.
– 95 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF TIANFA EQUIPMENT
APPENDIX III
The carrying amount of the financial asset carried at amortized cost is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to profit or loss.
(g) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost comprises materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of production overheads calculated on a weighted average basis. Net realizable value is determined on the basis of anticipated sales proceed less estimated cost to completion and selling expenses.
(h) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
(i) Registered capital
Registered capital is classified as equity. Equity instruments issued by Tianfa Equipment are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
(j) Borrowings
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless Tianfa Equipment has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date.
(k) Trade payables, notes payable, other payables and amounts due to the Tianjin Benefo Group
These amounts are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Tianfa Equipment derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, Tianfa Equipment’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss.
(l) Current and deferred income tax
The tax expense for the year/period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in equity.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where Tianfa Equipment operates and generates taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns
– 96 –
APPENDIX III
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF TIANFA EQUIPMENT
with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is recognized using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the Financial Information. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
(m) Employee benefits
Employees of Tianfa Equipment in the PRC are members of state-managed employee pension scheme operated by the Tianjin Municipal People’s Government which undertakes to assume the retirement benefit obligations of all existing and future retired employees. Tianfa Equipment’s obligation is to make the required contributions under the scheme. The scheme is defined contribution plan. All these contributions are based on a certain percentage of the staff’s salary and are charged to the statement of comprehensive income as incurred.
(n) Revenue and income recognition
Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and rendering of services in the ordinary course of Tianfa Equipment’s activities. Revenue is shown net of value-added tax, business tax, returns and discounts. Revenue and other income is recognized as follows:
-
(i) Revenue from machine construction contracts is recognized as the percentage of completion method, measured by reference to the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date bear to estimated total costs.
-
(ii) Revenue from service rendered is recognized when services are provided.
-
(iii) Interest income is accrued on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.
(o) Machine construction contracts
Where the outcome of a machine construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting period, measured based on the proportion that contract costs incurred for work performed to date relative to the estimated total contract costs, except where this would not be representative of the stage of completion.
Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent that the amount can be measured reliably and its receipt is considered probable.
Where the outcome of a machine construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable. Contract costs are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.
When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognized as an expense immediately.
– 97 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF TIANFA EQUIPMENT
APPENDIX III
Where contract costs incurred to date plus recognized profits less recognized losses exceed progress billings, the surplus is shown as amounts due from customers for contract work. For contracts where progress billings exceed contract costs incurred to date plus recognized profits less recognized losses, the surplus is shown as amounts due to customers for contract work. Amounts received before the related work is performed are included in the balance sheets, as a liability, as advances received. Amounts billed for work performed but not yet paid by the customer are included in the balance sheets under trade receivables.
(p) Government grants
Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Tianfa Equipment will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.
Government grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which Tianfa Equipment recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Government grants related to depreciable assets are recognized as deferred income in the balance sheets and transferred to profit or loss over the useful lives of the related assets. Other government grants are recognized as revenue over the periods necessary to match them with the costs for which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis. Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to Tianfa Equipment with no future related costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.
(q) Research and development expenditure
Expenditure on research activities is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.
An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development activities is recognized if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:
-
. the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
-
. the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
-
. the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
-
. how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
-
. the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and
-
. the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.
The amount initially recognized for internally-generated intangible asset is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognized, development expenditure is charged to profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible asset is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses (if any), on the same basis as intangible assets acquired separately.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF TIANFA EQUIPMENT
APPENDIX III
(r) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalized during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. Other borrowing costs are expensed.
(s) Operating lease
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
(t) Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of Tianfa Equipment. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognized because it is not probable that outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably.
A contingent liability is not recognized but is disclosed in the notes to the Financial Information. When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that outflow is probable, they will then be recognized as a provision.
3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Financial risk factors
Tianfa Equipment’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including interest rate risk), credit and counterparty risk and liquidity risk. Tianfa Equipment’s financial risk management focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on its financial performance by actively managing debt level and cash flow in order to maintain a strong balance sheet and to minimize refinancing and liquidity risks by attaining healthy debt repayment capacity, appropriate maturity profile and availability of banking facilities. Tianfa Equipment adheres to a policy of financial prudence and did not use any derivative financial instruments or structured financial products during the Relevant Period.
(a) Market risk
Interest rate risk
Other than bank balances and deposits specified in Note 21 (the ‘‘Interest Bearing Assets’’), Tianfa Equipment has no other significant Interest Bearing Assets.
Tianfa Equipment is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk due to the fluctuation of the prevailing market interest rates on its bank balances and deposits.
Tianfa Equipment’s interest rate risk also arises from bank borrowings (the ‘‘Interest Bearing Liabilities’’) set out in Note 26. The Tianfa Equipment’s cash flow interest rate risk is mainly concentrated on the fluctuation of prevailing rate quoted by the People’s Bank of China arising from the Tianfa Equipment’s bank balances and bank borrowings.
– 99 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF TIANFA EQUIPMENT
APPENDIX III
Borrowings issued at variable rates expose Tianfa Equipment to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose Tianfa Equipment to fair value interest rate risk. Tianfa Equipment’s policy is to maintain a mixed portfolio of borrowings subject to variable and fixed interest rates. Tianfa Equipment also analyses its interest rate exposure periodically by considering refinancing, renewal of existing positions and alternative financing. Tianfa Equipment’s Interest Bearing Liabilities include borrowings at variable rates and fixed rates as follows:
| Borrowings at variable rates Borrowings at fixed rates |
At 31 December 2009 2010 2011 RMB’000 RMB’000 RMB’000 50,000 50,000 50,000 60,000 60,000 56,000 110,000 110,000 106,000 |

2012 RMB’000 50,000 56,000 |
|
| 106,000 |
If interest rate had been 25 basis points higher/lower for bank balances and deposits and with all other variables held constant, Tianfa Equipment’s loss for the years ended 31 December 2009 and 2010 would decrease/increase by RMB262,000 and RMB348,000 respectively and Tianfa Equipment’s profit for the year ended 31 December 2011 and for the period ended 30 June 2012 would increase/decrease by RMB202,000 and RMB129,000 respectively.
If interest rate had been 25 basis points higher/lower for bank borrowings and with all other variables held constant, Tianfa Equipment’s loss for the year ended 31 December 2009 and 2010 would increase/decrease by RMB106,000 and RMB106,000 respectively and Tianfa Equipment’s profit for the year ended 31 December 2011 and the period ended 30 June 2012 would decrease/increase by RMB106,000 and RMB53,000 respectively.
Tianfa Equipment has not used any interest rate swaps to hedge its exposure to interest rate risk.
(b) Credit and counterparty risk
Credit risk mainly arises from bank deposits maintained with banks and other financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers, the Tianjin Benefo Group, outstanding trade receivables balance and other debtors. The carrying amounts of these balances substantially represent Tianfa Equipment’s maximum exposure to credit and counterparty risk as at the end of each reporting period.
A significant portion of Tianfa Equipment’s bank deposits are placed with state-owned banks. The directors of Tianfa Equipment consider that no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of this balance as there has not been a significant change in credit quality of the counter-party.
Tianfa Equipment has policies in place to ensure that provision of services are made to customers with an appropriate credit history and Tianfa Equipment performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers. According to Tianfa Equipment’s historical experience, the irrecoverable trade and other receivables do not exceed the recorded allowances and the directors of Tianfa Equipment are of the opinion that adequate provision for uncollectible accounts receivable has been made in the Financial Information.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF TIANFA EQUIPMENT
APPENDIX III
(c) Liquidity risk
Tianfa Equipment adopts prudent liquidity risk management which includes maintaining sufficient bank balances and cash and having funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. Tianfa Equipment aims to maintain flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of Tianfa Equipment’s liquidity reserve comprising undrawn borrowing facility and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flow.
Tianfa Equipment’s financial liabilities will be settled within one year based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date.
Capital risk management
Tianfa Equipment’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. Total capital is calculated as equity attributable to the owners of Tianfa Equipment as shown in the balance sheet.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, Tianfa Equipment may adjust the amount of dividends paid to stakeholders, return capital to stakeholders or sell assets to reduce debt. Tianfa Equipment’s policy was unchanged throughout the Relevant Period.
The categories of financial instruments of Tianfa Equipment are as follows:
Categories of financial instruments

Fair value estimation
The determination of the fair value of the financial instruments of the Group are as follows:
- (i) The fair value of unlisted investments, i.e. financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is determined by reference to the net assets values of the underlying investments quoted by the relevant investment trust or securities companies. They are grouped into Level 2 which fair value measurements were those derived from inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
– 101 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF TIANFA EQUIPMENT
APPENDIX III
- (ii) The fair values of cash and bank deposits, trade receivables, notes receivable, other receivables, trade payables, notes payable, other payable, current bank borrowings and balances with the Tianjin Benefo Group are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis and considered to be approximate their carrying amount due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.
4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATE AND JUDGEMENTS
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the results and the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of Tianfa Equipment are discussed below.
(a) Machine construction contracts
Tianfa Equipment recognizes contract revenue, profit and estimated loss of machine construction contracts according to the management’s estimation of the final outcome of the projects as well as the percentage of completion of machine construction works. Notwithstanding that management closely reviews and revises the estimates of both contract revenue and costs for the machine construction contracts according to the contract progresses, the actual outcome of the contracts in terms of their total revenue and costs may be higher or lower than the estimates and this will affect the amount of revenue and profit recognized in subsequent periods.
(b) Impairment loss on trade receivables
The assessment of the impairment loss on trade receivables of Tianfa Equipment is based on the evaluation of collectability and ageing analysis of accounts and on management’s judgment. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the ultimate realization of these receivables, including the current creditworthiness of each customer. If the financial conditions of the customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. Impairment is made based on the estimation of the future cash flow discounted at the original effective rate to calculate the present value.
5. SEGMENT INFORMATION
An analysis of Tianfa Equipment’s revenue is as follows:

As Tianfa Equipment derives majority of its revenue from the manufacture and sale of machineries and provision of service in the PRC, the chief operating decision maker of Tianfa Equipment has determined that, for the purpose of resources allocation and performance evaluation, the entire Tianfa Equipment is a single operating and reportable segment.
– 102 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF TIANFA EQUIPMENT
APPENDIX III
The chief operating decision maker monitors the revenue, result, assets and liabilities of its business unit as a whole based on and monthly management accounts which are substantially in conformity with HKFRSs and considers the segment assets and segment liabilities of Tianfa Equipment included all assets and liabilities as stated in the balance sheets respectively, and considers the segment revenue and segment result of Tianfa Equipment represented revenue and profit for the year/period as stated in the statements of comprehensive income respectively.
Furthermore, as all the non-current assets of Tianfa Equipment are physically located in the PRC, no geographical information is presented.

VALUATION REPORT ON TIANDUAN
INTRODUCTION
In accordance with the instruction from the Company, we have carried out a valuation on Tianduan as at the Valuation Date. We understand this valuation serves the purpose of internal reference.
COMPANY BACKGROUND
Tianjin Tianduan Press Co., Ltd. is the professional research and manufacturing company of hydraulic press in China. Since 1956 Tianduan produced the first hydraulic press, it already has 42 series, more than 1,000 varieties of products ranging from 80KN to 200000KN. The products are widely used in the fields of forming shipping plates, forging extruding, aviation and spaceflight, automobile industry, glass fiber reinforced plastics, household electrical appliances and light industry, power metallurgy, equipments of war industry and so on. The company gained ISO9001 Quality System Certification and obtained the right of importing and exporting by itself in 1996. The product got the CE Certificate in 2006, and exported to over 30 countries and regions, such as Asia, Australia, Europe, America and Africa, etc.[1]

As part of our research and analysis, we have considered information prepared by the Company, including but not limited to the following:
-
. History, background, business nature, operating environment and other relevant information on Tianduan
-
. 2006 to 2011 audited/unaudited financial statements and interim result for the 6 months ended 30 June 2012
-
. Tianduan’s market position, competitive advantages and disadvantages
-

APPENDIX VI
VALUATION REPORT ON TIANDUAN
VALUATION BASIS AND METHODOLOGY
Our appraisal has been carried out on a market value basis. Market value is defined as the estimated amount for which an asset should exchange on a date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.
For this valuation, we have made reference to three generally accepted approaches to estimating market value:
-
. The cost approach considers the cost to reproduce or replace in new condition the assets appraised in accordance with current market prices for similar assets, with allowance for accrued depreciation as condition or obsolescence present, whether arising from physical, functional or economic causes
-
. The income approach is the conversion of expected periodic benefits of ownership into an indication of value. It is based on the principle that an informed buyer would pay no more for asset than an amount equal to the present worth of anticipated future benefits (income) from the same or equivalent asset with similar risk
-
. The market approach considers prices recently paid for similar assets, with adjustments made to the indicated market prices to reflect condition and utility of the appraised assets relative to the comparable market transactions
We consider the cost approach to be inadequate given that this approach fails to consider the going concern of Tianduan. The income approach and the market approach are both appropriate methods but the income approach has more reliance on financial estimation. The market approach is more favorable because this approach makes direct reference to the Comparable Companies in which their market value can be directly observed from the open market.
ASSUMPTIONS
A number of assumptions have been made during this valuation. The following assumptions are considered to be applicable and have a significant effect on this valuation. These assumptions have been evaluated and validated to provide a reasonable basis in arriving at our opinion of value.
-
. There will be no material adverse change in the political, legal, fiscal or economic condition in the PRC and other regions in which the Company operates
-
. Tianduan will retain the key management, competent personnel and technical staff to support its ongoing operation
-
. Market trend and conditions for Tianduan in related areas will not deviate significantly from the economic forecasts in general. Customer behavior will have no significant change throughout the valuation period
– 134 –
APPENDIX VI
VALUATION REPORT ON TIANDUAN
-
. This valuation assumes Tianduan will run into the indefinite future, that is, we assume that relevant business license can be renewed and relevant administrative procedure in relation to the renewal of business can be properly carried out
-
. We assume that the operating performance of Tianduan will not have significant deviations from the general market trend
-
. This valuation assumes that the core operating income of Tianduan is derived from selling hydraulic press machines. This valuation have not considered any non-operating income such as interest income and investment income and have not made any estimates on imponderables, or disaster which may affect Tianduan’s future income
-
. It is assumed that there is no significant deviation from the market view on the growth prospects of Tianduan and the Comparables
THE MARKET APPROACH
The premise behind the market approach is that the trading price of the Comparable Companies provides objective evidence to the value at which market participants might be willing to buy and sell Tianduan at an arm’s length transaction.
We first constructed a Comparable Company list and derived a valuation ratio from the Comparables. This valuation ratio was used to approximate, with adjustment, an appropriate ratio for Tianduan (the ‘‘Tianduan’s Ratio’’). The Tianduan’s Ratio was then applied to one of Tianduan’s accounting metric to estimate Tianduan’s market value.
THE COMPARABLE COMPANY LIST
To qualify as a Comparable Company, a company must (i) be exchange listed with financial information publicly accessible, (ii) operate within the same or similar industry as Tianduan and (iii) report a positive trailing 12 month EBITDA for the period ended 30 June 2012. Although not a prerequisite, companies listed on a recognized PRC exchange is preferred.
Information about the Comparable Companies was sourced from Bloomberg. Although Bloomberg has categorized the business nature and products of each individual company, Bloomberg does not explicitly state the exact product mix percentage.

THE VALUATION AND TIANDUAN’S RATIO
We consider the Enterprise value to EBITDA (the ‘‘EV/EBITDA’’ ratio) is an appropriate valuation ratio. The EV/EBITDA ratio is calculated as:
Enterprise value at the Valuation Date/Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization
For this valuation, the trailing 12 month EBITDA for the period ended 30 June 2012 is the most up-to-date accounting metric we were provided with. We consider the EV/ EBITDA ratio appropriate because (i) EBITDA is an accounting metric that represent earning power that can be compared across companies since EBITDA is not affected by the differences in tax rates, capital structure and capital invested and (ii) EV/EBITDA has been proven to be a reliable ratio for pricing manufacturing companies, of which considers an entity’s cash flow level as an indicator of its value.
– 136 –
APPENDIX VI
VALUATION REPORT ON TIANDUAN
Adjustment made to the EV/EBITDA ratio was made to reflect Tianduan’s operating and financial characteristic since the Comparable Companies are not 100% identical to Tianduan. The valuation ratio derived from the Comparable Company list was used only as a reference to estimate an appropriate Tianduan’s ratio. The following list factors that were considered in making the adjustments:
-
. Asset size of Tianduan relative to the Comparables, which is substantially different against the Comparables. Such difference warrants a possible adjustment on the EV/EBITDA ratio
-
. The market where the Comparables are traded, and the hydraulic press/machinery industry’s valuation with respect to the general market
-
. EBITDA and EBIT margins, which represents the profitability of a company and is highly correlated with market value of a company
-
. Growth rate and capital reinvestment rate, which are of the factors implicitly considered by the market and was factored into the EV/EBITDA ratio. In general, we expect a higher growth rate with low reinvestment rate will result in a higher EV/EBITDA ratio
-
. Tianduan is a private company which is subject to more risk compared to the listed Comparable Companies
-
. The financial gearing and operational risk. Higher gearing generally help increase the return to equity if it is under normal leverage. However, as gearing increases, liquidity risk also increases. Thus the gearing will have dual impact on the value of a company
-
. The average of multiple of relevant comparable companies and adjustment on possible difference on a company or industrial multiple which due to market being traded for the comparable companies and the subject
Tianduan is a non-publicly traded company; its stocks are not freely tradable on any public exchange. This illiquid nature required adjustment of its value in discount for lack of marketability. There are studies in relation to this marketability discount, such as restrictive stock studies or academic research on the range of discount. The ranges of the marketability can vary from 20% to 45%. We believe it is fair to consider a 30% discount for Tianduan’s lack of marketability. Tianduan’s market value computation is summarized below:
(RMB ’000.0) except for EV/EBITDA ratio
| Tianduan’s Ratio | 14.47 | |
|---|---|---|
| T12M EBITDA ended 30 June 2012 | x | 68,039.0 |
| Enterprise value | = | 984,524.3 |
| Net cash | + | 164,811.0 |
| Equity value | = | 1,149,335.3 |
| Equity value after marketability discount | = | 804,534.7 |
