LETTER FROM THE BOARD

II. The Agreement

Date: 8 November 2006

Parties:

The Company PEGL

Terms:

PEGL agreed to transfer the Assets to the Company for the repayment of the Debt.

Consideration and basis The consideration for the transfer of the Assets is the Debt being of determination: a total sum of RMB 31.6 million.

The consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiation among the parties which took into account the estimation of the value of the Assets as at 30 September 2006, namely RMB31,600,000, which was based on the indicative preliminary figure provided by the Valuer and the Asset Valuation Report on Asset Transfer by Panda Electronic Group Limited (Ning Yong Kuai Ping Bao Zi (2006) No.044) provided by the PRC Valuer. Both the Valuer and the PRC Valuer are independent third parties and are not connected with the Company.

Condition Precedent:

The Agreement is effective and conditional upon the approval from the Independent Shareholders of the Company in the EGM.

The arrangement Within ten days after the coming into effect of the Agreement, of registration of the registration of the Transfer of the Assets should be effected. Transfer of the Assets

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

III. Information on the Assets

1. Property I

Property I, located at No. 118 Haifuxiang, Shimenkan Town, Baixia District, Nanjing City, comprises a parcel of industrial land having a total site area of approximately 14,129.1sq. m., together with a 5-storey workshop building completed in about 2005 with a total gross floor area of approximately 5,756.61 sq. m. erected thereon. The completed workshop building is currently held by the PEGL and proposed to be used as a production workshop.

PEGL has been granted the land use rights of Property I for a term expiring on 28 February 2040 for industrial uses via assignment as evidenced by the Certificate of Stateowned Land Use Right of the PRC (Ning Bai Guo Yong (2002) Zi No.05156) (《中華 人民共和國國有土地使用權証》寧白國用(2002)字第05156). As advised by the Company’s PRC Lawyer, the said land is not subject to any charges, mortgages or legal disputes.

The PEGL has been granted the planning permit for the construction of the workshop building according to the Nanjing Municipal Construction Planning Permit (Ning Gui Cheng Zhong Jian Zhu [2003] No.0048) (《南京市建設工程規劃許可証》寧規城中建 築(2003)0048號). According to the Company, application for the issuance of a Building Ownership Certificate for the workshop building is in progress. The Company’s PRC Lawyer states that there should be no legal impediment on the application and issuance of the Building Ownership Certificate for the workshop building erected on the said land. The PRC Lawyer holds the view that notwithstanding the lack of Building Ownership Certificate for the workshop building, Property I can be freely transferred for the reason that the workshop building was transferred not as a completed building but as a project under construction.

In accordance with Valuer’s valuation, the capital value of the said land in the existing state is approximately RMB9,700,000. While no commercial value has been ascribed to the workshop building due to the absence of the Building Ownership Certificate, for reference purpose, the depreciated replacement cost of the workshop building in the same district as at the date of valuation was estimated to be RMB16,300,000. The said estimate is made on the basis of the current status of the workshop building without the Building Ownership Certificate, and the said sum of RMB16,300,000 does not include any credit to a building ownership certificate.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. Property II

Property II, situated at Units 101, 201 and 202 of Blocks 05 and 06 (Block 6) at the High Tech Development Zone, Nanjing City, comprises three units on the first and the second levels of a 4-storey industrial building completed in around 1992, with a gross floor area of approximately 2,814.74 sq. m. Property II is currently occupied by PEGL for warehouse uses.

The land use rights of Property II have been acquired via assignment by PEGL for a term expiring on 30 November 2042 for industrial uses according to the Certificate of Stateowned Land Use Right of the PRC (Ning Pu Guo Yong (2002) No.01517) (《中華人民 共和國國有土地使用証》寧浦國用(2002)字第01517). The ownership of the building of the Property II is acquired via assignment by PEGL according to the Building Ownership Certificate (Ning Fang Quan Zheng Pu Chu Zi No.101006) (《房屋所有權 証》寧房權証浦初字第101006號). As advised by the Company’s PRC Lawyer, Property II does not bear any charges, mortgages or legal disputes.

Valuer’s valuation is that the capital value of Property II in its existing state is approximately RMB5,600,000.

The total value of the Assets including the land as Property I, the workshop building thereon and the Property II is estimated by the Valuer to be RMB31,600,000.

IV. Particulars and Principal Business Activities of the Parties to the Agreement

THE COMPANY

The principal business activities carried on by the Company and its subsidiaries are investment holding and the development, production and sale of satellite communication products, electromechanical products and electronic information products.

PEGL

The principal business activities carried on by PEGL are production of wireless communication equipments, broadcast television equipments, hardware and electronics (五金交電), electronic components, etc.

Since PEGL holds 51.1% equity interests of the Company and is the Company’s controlling shareholder, PEGL is a connected person of the Company.

— 6 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

V. The Reasons for the Agreement

Given the support to the Company provided by its controlling shareholder PEGL and its subsidiaries during the establishment, listing and the 2000 Reorganization of the Company, the Company had provided certain ad hoc working capital to PEGL Group to cope with its financial difficulties. As at 31 December 2005, the balance of Appropriated Capital was RMB275.31 million. Since 2006, PEGL Group has been taking initiatives to repay the Appropriated Capital in light of the directions from China Securities Regulatory Commission.

However, given its financial difficulties, PEGL Group would be unlikely to repay all the Appropriated Capital in cash. For this reason, PEGL Group and the Company agreed on a repayment schedule, which was recorded in the Plan. According to the Plan, PEGL Group would repay part of the Appropriated Capital by the Assets, which was originally scheduled to be transferred to the Company in September 2006. However, the preparation for the Transfer took longer than expected as the Company and the PEGL Group had to make necessary arrangements, including but not limited to procuring PRC legal opinion, obtaining the preliminary view of the Valuer and the PRC Valuer, and the transfer of the Assets did not materialize in September 2006. PEGL Group repaid RMB50 million all in cash by end of September 2006.

As at 21 November 2006, a total of RMB243.71 million was repaid by PEGL Group and the balance of the Appropriated Capital was RMB31.6 million.

In view of PEGL’s RMB 50 million cash repayment in September 2006 and its cash flow difficulties, PEGL Group proposed and the Company agreed that PEGL Group will repay the Debt by way of transfer of the Assets. As a result, on 8 November 2006, the Company has entered into the Agreement.

The Company and PEGL Group have in fact explored alternative payment methods other than by transferring the Assets. However, as PEGL Group has transferred its quality assets to the Company when the Company was listed and during the 2000 Reorganisation, PEGL Group does not have any substantial quality assets that are relevant to the business of the Company. Hence, the transfer of the Assets is the only feasible and effective method for the repayment of Debt.

After the transfer of the Assets, PEGL Group will have repaid all the Appropriated Capital.

— 7 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

VI. Benefits of the Transfer

According to the advice provided by the PRC Lawyer, the Agreement complies with the requirement of the relevant PRC laws and regulations and it does not contain any content or terms which are detrimental to the interest of the Company and the Shareholders and are in line with fair and just principles.

The Transfer is designed as an initiative of PEGL Group to settle a part of the Appropriated Capital, which is beneficial to safeguard the interests of the Company and its shareholders, particularly the minority shareholders.

After the Transfer, Property I will be utilized for electro-mechanical products development, which is one of the principal business activities of the Company.

Property II is situated in the High Tech Development Zone of Nanjing city. Enterprises registered inside the Development Zone will enjoy special tax preference. The Company intends to expand its business in the high tech industry, for instance, in satellite communication systems and electromechanical and IT products. Hence, the acquisition of Property II will help the Company in such development, and Property II can be used as the premises for the Company’s business in this area.

Upon taking over the Assets which are related to the Company’s business, the Company can reduce the connected transactions with the PEGL Group and enhance the independence of assets.

In view of the above, the Directors believe that the Agreement is beneficial to the Company and the terms of the Transfer are fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Shareholders as a whole.

VII. Listing Rules Implications

Since PEGL is a connected person of the Company, the Transfer constitutes a connected transaction under the Listing Rules.

Given that the consideration of the Transfer is calculated to exceed 2.5% of the relevant percentage ratios and exceed HK$10,000,000 under the Listing Rules, this connected transaction is subject to announcement, reporting and shareholders’ approval requirements pursuant to Rule 14A.35 of the Listing Rules. An announcement regarding the Transfer has been made by the Company on 15 November 2006.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

On 8 November 2006, the Board resolved to approve entering into of the Agreement, and all those Directors who have a material interest in the Agreement abstained from voting. The remaining Directors, namely Ms. Wan Hui, Mr. Cai Lianglin, and Mr. Ma Chung Lai, Lawrence, being Independent Non-Executive Directors voted unanimously in favour of the resolution approving the entering into of the Agreement.

The Transfer is subject to Independent Shareholders’ approval by poll at the EGM to be held on 31 December 2006 at which PEGL and its associates are required to abstain from voting on the resolution regarding the approval of the Agreement.

B. AMENDMENT OF ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

For the purpose of complying with the PRC Company Law and the PRC Securities Law, the Board proposed to amend the Articles of Association of the Company in manners as set out in Appendix III of this circular.

The amendment of the Articles of Association mainly concerns protecting the legitimate rights and interests of the Company, shareholders and creditors and regulating the organization and operation of the Company in accordance with the PRC Company Law and the PRC Securities Law.

This restriction will also apply to the directors, supervisors, and senior managers of any legal person shareholders holding 5% or more of voting shares in the Company. As advised by the PRC lawyer, the above restriction will not apply to the overseas listed foreign shareholders.

  3. New rights are given to the shareholders including rights to demand shares purchase if they vote against the resolutions of merger or split-up of the Company made in the general meetings; rights of direct action and derivative action in the event that their interests and those of the Company are impaired; and the rights to information of the Company.

The Board confirms that the proposed amendment to the Articles of Association conforms to the requirements of Appendix 3 and the applicable requirements set out in Part D of the Appendix 13 of the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM VXLFS

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In formulating our recommendation with regards to the Agreement, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons:

1. Background to and reasons for the Agreement and the Transfer

The principal business activities of the Group are investment holding and the development, production and sale of satellite communication products, electro-mechanical products and electronic information products.

PEGL being the controlling Shareholder of the Company, is principally engaged in the production of wireless communication equipments, broadcast television equipments, hardware and electronics (五 金交電), electronic components, etc.

We note from the letter from the Board in the Circular (the “Letter from the Board”) that given the support to the Company provided by PEGL Group during the establishment, listing and the 2000 Reorganisation of the Company, the Company had provided certain ad hoc working capital to PEGL Group to cope with its financial difficulties. As at 31 December 2005, the balance of the Appropriated Capital was RMB275.31 million. We also note that PEGL Group has been taking initiatives to repay the Appropriated Capital in light of the directions from China Securities Regulatory Commission since 2006 and discussed with the Company for an agreed repayment schedule.

Nevertheless, due to the financial difficulties encountered by PEGL Group, it would be unlikely to repay all the Appropriated Capital in cash. As such, the Company and PEGL Group have agreed on a repayment schedule specified in the “Settlement plan for non-operating capital appropriation of the controlling shareholder” (《控股股東非經營性資金佔用的清欠方案》) (the “Plan”), pursuant to which PEGL Group would repay part of the Appropriated Capital by way of asset transfer.

According to the Plan, assets were originally scheduled to be transferred to the Company in September 2006. Notwithstanding this, given the prolonged preparation of necessary arrangements for the Transfer including, but not limited to, procuring PRC legal opinion and obtaining the preliminary view of the Valuer and the PRC Valuer, the transfer of the Assets did not materialise in September 2006. As a result, PEGL Group repaid RMB50 million in cash to the Company by end of September 2006 instead. As at 21 November 2006, PEGL Group has repaid an aggregate amount of RMB243.71 million in cash to the Company, leaving an outstanding balance of the Appropriated Capital of RMB31.6 million.

— 15 —

LETTER FROM VXLFS

We understand from the Company that the Company and PEGL Group have explored alternative payment methods to settle the remaining balance of the Appropriated Capital other than the Transfer. However, as PEGL Group has transferred its quality assets to the Company at the time the Company was listed on the Stock Exchange and during the 2000 Reorganisation, and PEGL Group does not have any other substantial quality assets that are relevant to the business of the Company, it is therefore considered that the Transfer is the only feasible and effective method for the repayment of the Debt.

We have reviewed the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2005 and the unaudited consolidated management accounts of PEGL Group for the nine months ended 30 September 2006, and noted that PEGL Group has incurred a net loss for the respective periods. As stated in the Letter from the Board, in view of the RMB50 million cash repayment made by PEGL in September 2006 and the cash flow difficulties of PEGL Group, PEGL Group and the Company entered into the Agreement on 8 November 2006 pursuant to which PEGL will transfer the Assets to the Company for the repayment of the Debt. We note that the Transfer was an initiative of PEGL Group to settle the remaining balance of the Appropriated Capital so as to safeguard the interests of the Company and the Shareholders, particularly the minority Shareholders. Upon completion of the Transfer, PEGL Group would have settled the Appropriated Capital in full.

It is stated in the PRC legal opinion dated 8 November 2006 issued by the PRC Lawyer (the “PRC Legal Opinion”) that the Agreement complies with the requirement of the relevant PRC laws and regulations and does not contain any content or terms which are detrimental to the interest of the Company and the Shareholders and are in line with fair and just principles.

In view of the above, and in particular given that (i) PEGL Group is in financial difficulties; (ii) the Transfer may reduce the risk of non-recovery of the remaining balance of the Appropriated Capital; and (iii) the Appropriated Capital has to be settled by PEGL Group under the requirements set out in the “Notice of endorsement of opinions from the China Securities Regulatory Commission on raising the quality of listed companies” (《國務院批轉證監會關於提高上市公司質量意見的通知》) on or before 31 December 2006, we are of the view that the Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM VXLFS

3. Consideration for the Transfer

Pursuant to the Agreement, the consideration for the Transfer is the Debt being a total sum of RMB31.6 million (the “Consideration”). We note that the Consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiation among the parties after taking into account the estimation of the value of the Assets of approximately RMB31.6 million as at 30 September 2006, which was based on the indicative preliminary figure provided by the independent Valuer and the Asset Valuation Report on Assets Transfer by Panda Electronic Group Limited (《熊貓電子集團有限公司資產轉讓項目資產評估報告》) (the “Asset Valuation Report”) provided by the PRC Valuer.

We have reviewed the valuation report issued by the Valuer (the “Valuation Report”) as set out in Appendix I to the Circular and the Asset Valuation Report and noted that the Consideration is equal to the aggregate appraised market value of the Assets as at 30 September 2006 based on the Valuation Report and represents a discount of approximately 2.9% to the aggregate value of the Assets as at 31 March 2006 as stated in the Asset Valuation Report.

Taking into account the latest valuation date of the Assets being 30 September 2006 and the Consideration is set to be the same as the latest appraised market value of the Assets as of 30 September 2006 based on the Valuation Report, we are of the view that the Consideration is fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Shareholders are concerned.

4. Financial effects of the Agreement on the Group

Net asset

Based on the 2006 Interim Report, the unaudited consolidated net assets of the Group was approximately RMB1,356.7 million. There will be no impact to the net assets position of the Group upon completion of the Transfer.

Earnings

We understand from the Company that upon completion of the Transfer, the Company will adopt the straight-line depreciation method to allocate the cost of the Assets over its estimated useful life of 30 years. It is estimated that an annual depreciation expenses of approximately RMB1.05 million will be charged in the profit and loss account of the Group. Apart from the above, the Group does not expect any material effect on the profit and loss account of the Group after completion of the Transfer.

LETTER FROM VXLFS

Working capital

The Transfer is made only for the purpose of repayment of the Debt by PEGL to the Company and the entire amount of the Consideration represents the whole of the Debt repayable by PEGL to the Company pursuant to the Agreement. As such, no financing for the Consideration by the Company is necessary.

Given the above, there will be no adverse impact on the working capital position of the Group as a result of the Transfer.

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the above principal factors and reasons, in particular,

  • the Appropriated Capital has to be settled by PEGL Group under the requirements set out in the “Notice of endorsement of opinions from the China Securities Regulatory Commission on raising the quality of listed companies” (《國務院批轉證監會關於提高上市公司質量意見的通知》) on or before 31 December 2006;

  • the financial difficulties encountered by PEGL Group;

  • the Transfer will provide an opportunity for the Group to expedite the recovery of the remaining balance of the Appropriated Capital;

==> picture [53 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

The Directors

Nanjing Panda Electronics Company Limited 301 East Zongshan Road Nanjing The PRC

Dear Sirs,

In accordance with your instructions for us to value the property interests exhibited to us as held by 熊貓 電子集團有限公司(the “Panda Group”) in the People’s Republic of China (‘’the PRC’’), we confirm that we have carried out inspections, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you (“the Company”) with our opinion of the market value of such property interests as at 30 September 2006 (“the date of valuation”) for the purpose of incorporating in the circular.

Our valuation is our opinion of the market value of the property interest which we would define as intended to mean ‘’the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the 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’’.

In valuing Property 1, we have adopted a combination of the market and depreciated replacement cost approaches respectively in assessing the land portion of the property, and the buildings and structures standing on the land. The sum of the two results represents the market value of the property as a whole. In the valuation of the land, reference has been made to the standard land prices in the relevant cities and the sales evidences as available to us in the locality. For Property 2, we have estimated the value of the property by the Comparison Approach via making reference to comparable sales evidences or offerings as available in the relevant localities. Unless otherwise stated, the valuations represent the value of the entire property interests described in the valuation certificates and not the value of a share of them.

The depreciated replacement cost approach considers the cost to reproduce or replace in new condition the property appraised in accordance with current construction costs for similar property in the locality, with allowance for accrued depreciation as evidenced by observed condition or obsolescence present, whether arising from physical, functional or economic causes. The depreciated replacement cost approach generally furnishes a reliable indication of value for property in the absence of a known market based on comparable sales. It is subject to adequate potential profitability of the business or of the whole entity.

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX I

Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the owner sell the property interests on the market without the benefit of deferred term contracts, leasebacks, joint ventures, management agreements or any similar arrangements which would serve to increase the value of the property interests. In addition, no forced sale situation in any manner is assumed in our valuation. Other assumptions in respect of each property, if any, have been set out in the footnotes of the valuation certificates for the respective properties.

We have not caused title searches to be made for the property interests at the relevant government bureau in the PRC. We have been provided with certain extracts of title documents relating to the property interests. However, we have not inspected the original documents to verify the ownership, encumbrances or the existence of any subsequent amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us.

In undertaking our valuation of the properties in the PRC, we have relied on the legal opinion provided by the Company’s PRC legal adviser, 江蘇法德永衡律師事務所.

We have relied to a considerable extent on information provided by the Company and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, tenure, occupation, lettings, site and floor areas, development plan, construction costs, identification of the properties and other relevant matters. We have also been advised by the Company that no material facts had been concealed or omitted in the information provided to us. All documents have been used for reference only.

All dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificates are based on information contained in the documents provided to us by the Company and are approximations only. No on-site measurement has been taken.

We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the interior of the properties. However, no structural survey has been made and we are therefore unable to report whether the properties are free from rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No tests were carried out on any of the services.

No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the property interests nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the property interests are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect their values.

APPENDIX I

We have not carried out investigations on site to determine the suitability of ground conditions and services etc. for any future development, nor have we undertaken any ecological or environmental surveys.

In valuing the property interests, we have complied with the requirements set out in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (First Edition 2005) published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors (‘’HKIS’’).

We enclosed herewith a summary of our valuation and the valuation certificates.
