LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As announced in the Company’s announcement dated 14 December 2011, the Company has been advised by Southern Media of the Reform Measures about the reorganisation of the cable digital broadcasting networks of Guangdong Province into one centralised network under one provincial broadcasting network company. As a result, the Company will no longer be able to operate the Digital TV Business under the existing structure. In the circumstances, the Company decided to exit the Digital TV Business and entered into the Disposal Agreement with the Purchaser to transfer the Company’s entire interest in SCDTV to the Purchaser, who may have the right to operate the Digital TV Business after the enforcement of the Reform Measures.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Disposal is in interest of the Group as a result of the Reform Measures. The Directors (including the independent nonexecutive Directors) also consider that the terms of the Agreements are being conducted after arm’s length negotiations, and are on normal commercial terms which are fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Based on the consideration of HK$1,420 million under the Agreements, the unaudited combined net asset value attributable to the Sale Share in an aggregate amount of approximately HK$69.9 million as at 31 December 2011 and the indebtedness owed by the Disposal Group which is responsible by the Group as at 31 December 2011 in an amount of approximately HK$1,299.1 million, the Group is expected to record a capital gain of approximately HK$60.9 million from the Disposal assuming Completion took place on 31 December 2011, after taking into account the estimated expenses directly attributable to the Disposal of approximately HK$1.0 million and an amount of translation reserve released upon disposal of the Disposal Group of approximately HK$10.9 million. Shareholders and investors should note that the exact amount of the gain on the Disposal is to be determined with reference to the net asset value attributable to the Sale Share as at Completion Date and may be different from the above figure.

The proceeds from the Disposal, after deducting estimated expenses directly attributable to the Disposal of approximately HK$1.0 million and the indebtedness owed to third parties as at 31 December 2011 amounted to approximately HK$427.8 million, are estimated to be approximately HK$991.2 million. The net proceeds is expected to be used as general working capital and, where appropriate, may be used for the acquisitions of new projects of the Group in the future. As at the Latest Practicable Date, as no such project has been identified by the Group, the entire amount of net proceeds is expected to be used as general working capital of the Group upon receipt until any new project is identified. The Company will disclose any such new projects in compliance with the requirements of the Listing Rules as and when appropriate.

Upon Completion, the Group will no longer have any interest in SCDTV and SCDTV will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company. As disclosed in the Company’s circular dated 15 October 2010, the Company entered into various agreements in relation to the operation of the Digital TV Business. The rights and obligations of these agreements are vested with the Disposal Group. As a result of the Disposal, the Group will no longer be interested in any of these agreements upon Completion.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL

Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Remaining Group as set out in Appendix III to this circular, the financial effects of the Disposal on the Group are summarised as follows:

  • (1) the Group’s total assets would decrease by approximately 15.9% from approximately HK$3,080.3 million to HK$2,590.5 million, and the Group’s total liabilities would decrease by approximately 29.6% from approximately HK$1,820.5 million to approximately HK$1,280.8 million assuming the Disposal had been completed on 31 December 2011; and

  • (2) the Group’s loss for the year ended 31 December 2011 would increase by approximately 78.5% from approximately HK$143.7 million to approximately HK$256.5 million, which is calculated based on (a) the exclusion of the profit of the Disposal Group for the year ended 31 December 2011 of approximately HK$21.3 million; and (b) the inclusion of the estimated loss of approximately HK$91.5 million arising from the Disposal, after deducting expenses incidental to the Disposal assuming the Disposal had been completed on 1 January 2011.

FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE REMAINING GROUP

After the Disposal, the Group will cease to engage in the Digital TV Business and will continue its intelligent information business in the development and provision of system integration solutions, system design and sale of system hardware. In addition, the Group will focus on the development of cooling system for mobile telecommunication base station in the sphere of intelligent system business, providing a series of energy saving products to reduce system energy consumption as well as continuously developing energy saving equipment.

After the Disposal, the Group’s remaining business would be the development and provision of system integration solutions, system design and sale of system hardware. For the year ended 31 December 2011, the Remaining Group had a turnover of approximately HK$282,704,000 and accounted for approximately 57% of the total turnover of the Group. As at 31 December 2011, the net asset value of the Remaining Group was approximately HK$318,529,000, accounted for approximately 25% of the net asset value of the Group.

Intelligent Information Business

Based on the 2011 annual report of the Company, the total tangible assets of the intelligent information business amounted to approximately HK$771.3 million as at 31 December 2011. The turnover and operating profit of the intelligent information business amounted to approximately HK$273.9 million and HK$27.9 million respectively for the year ended 31 December 2011. A decline in turnover of 13% was recorded for the segment of intelligent information business in 2011 compared to that in 2010 resulting from the stricter surveillance on development projects and tightened property curbs imposed by the PRC government. This is expected to have an adverse effect on cash flows in future years and thus an impairment loss on goodwill of approximately HK$110.6 million was recognised in 2011.

Despite the decrease in turnover for the year ended 31 December 2011, the PRC’s economy is rapidly developing in recent years, it is expected that the PRC government is going to lessen the extent of macro control as well as the surveillance on development projects so as to ensure the country’s sustainable

10

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

growth in the long run. Therefore, the management still expects a sustainable growth in this business in future years although the growth is expected to slow down significantly compared to that in the prior years. The total turnover of the system integration solution services for the year ended 31 December 2011 is approximately HK$273.9 million, while approximately 3% to 5% year-on-year growth in turnover is expected in future years.

In addition, at the end of 2011, Sinostride Technology Co., Ltd, a major subsidiary engaged in system integration solution services, was awarded by the PRC government for commending the prominent brand name and outstanding contribution of the company in relation to the intelligent building business conducted in certain building projects. Besides, a number of large-scale intelligent building projects covering a 3 to 5 years service period on average were granted in 2011. The Board expects that these projects will generate considerable return to the Group in the coming years and the business is expected to post a sustainable growth in the long run.

In 2011, the Group continued to develop the business of establishing cooling systems for the mobile telecommunication industry in the PRC. The business involves on-site preliminary feasibility study, energy consumption analysis, energy saving solution generation, provision of cooling system installations as well as energy saving management services. The Group generates revenue through the provision of cooling system installations as well as energy saving management services.

浙江中程節能技術有限公司, a major subsidiary engaged in the business of establishing cooling systems for the mobile telecommunication industry, recorded turnover of approximately RMB5 million in 2011, which was included in the turnover of the segment of system integration solution services.

The Group has signed cooperation agreements covering a 5-year service period on average with some domestic mobile network companies in relation to energy saving business, whereby the Group will provide energy-saving remodeling solution and products in accordance with energy-saving requirements of the mobile network companies. The Group believes that this energy-saving business will bring considerable return to the Group in the future.

Others

This represents the provision of management services, leasing of investment properties and sales of light emitted diode projects.

In December 2011, the Group entered into agreements with independent third parties pursuant to which the Group agreed to sell the entire issued share capital of Santai Electronics Limited and Aberdeen Investments Limited, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Group engaging in property investment, for a total cash consideration of RMB53,000,000 (equivalent to HK$65,122,000).

Based on the 2011 annual report of the Company, the total tangible assets in the investment properties business amounted to approximately HK$68.3 million as at 31 December 2011.

With the Group’s exit from the Digital TV Business as a result of the Disposal, the Group will actively explore new businesses for investments and developments. However, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has not identified any suitable investments or projects. The Group has not entered

11

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

into any agreement, arrangement or undertaking, whether formal or informal and whether expressed or implied, and negotiation (whether concluded or not) to acquire any new business. The Company will make further announcement in compliance with the requirements of the Listing Rules as and when required.

In light of the above, the Directors consider that the Company has sufficient level of operations and tangible assets of sufficient value to warrant the continued listing of the Shares after the Disposal.

GENERAL

The Disposal constitutes a very substantial disposal for the Company under the Listing Rules and is subject to the approval by the Shareholders at the EGM by way of poll. As the Purchaser is independent of and not connected with the Company and its connected person and no Shareholder has a material interest in the Disposal, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting in respect of the ordinary resolution to approve the Agreements at the EGM.

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

The EGM will be convened at 11:35 a.m. on Friday, 25 May 2012 at Concord Room, 8th Floor, Renaissance Harbour View Hotel Hong Kong, 1 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder. A notice of the EGM is set out on pages EGM-1 to EGM-2 of this circular. Voting at the EGM on the resolution will be taken by poll.

A form of proxy for use by the Shareholders at the EGM is enclosed herewith. Whether or not you are able to attend the EGM in person, you are advised to read the notice and complete the form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the Company’s share registrars, Tricor Tengis Limited, at 26th Floor, Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible but in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the EGM (or any adjournment thereof). Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM (or any adjournment thereof) should you so wish.

RECOMMENDATION

Your attention is also drawn to the additional information set out in the appendices to this circular.

Our work consisted primarily of comparing the unadjusted financial information with source documents, considering the evidence supporting the adjustments and discussing the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Remaining Group with the Directors.
