MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ON HUA FEI

The audited financial information of Hua Fei Group prepared under the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards and the Hong Kong Accounting Standards for the three financial years ended 31 December immediately preceding the Transfer is as follows:

— 6 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The total assets / net asset value of Hua Fei Group for the three financial years immediately preceding the Transfer were:

31 December 2003 31 December 2004 31 December 2005
(RMB’000) (RMB’000) (RMB’000)
Total assets 5,201,473 5,143,594 4,534,734
Net assets 2,024,806 2,299,578 2,089,948

The turnover, net profits/(loss) (before and after taxation) of Hua Fei Group for the three financial years immediately preceding the Transfer were:

The gearing ratio of the Group was calculated by dividing total external borrowings over shareholders’ equity.

With the rapid development of flat panel television technology like Plasma Display Panel(等離子顯 示屏)television and Liquid Crystal Display (液晶顯示)television in recent three years, market competition is increasingly intensified and Cathode Radial Tube (陰極射線管)(“CRT”) television has been affected with degrading price. However, CRT television will still be favoured by a majority of common consumers by virtue of its competitive edges, e.g. competitive price, long useful life and reliable quality and there is the potential for the reduction of production cost of picture tube. Thus for a rather long period in coming years, CRT television will continue to be mainstream of television markets in PRC and many overseas countries.

— 7 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Facing the above conditions of television market, Hua Fei have been proactively developing new products and reducing costs in the recent three years, aiming to enhance gross profit margin of products and speed up development of advanced technology for super-slim picture tube, thus strengthening product competitive edge and securing satisfactory profit in spite of severe competition and reducing prices. With bulk production of new super-slim picture tube products by Hua Fei, Hua Fei will further enhance its profitability to maintain healthy growth.

Hua Fei has a solid operating cash-flow status (please see consolidated cash flow statement of Hua Fei’s financial information as set out in Appendix II). In order to cut down financing costs, Hua Fei has repaid a great majority of bank loans in the recent three years, reducing Assets to Debt Ratio (external debt total divided by shareholder’s interests) from 59.2% as of 31 December 2003 to 7.2% as of 31 December 2005, which helps elevate Hua Fei’s profitability.

THE DECREASING TREND IN TERMS OF HUA FEI’S ASSETS, TURNOVER AND PROFIT

Hua Fei’s net assets, turnover and profit were decreasing for three years ended at 31 December 2005.

The decrease of net assets as at 31 December 2005 compared with that of 31 December 2004 is mainly attributable to (see Hua Fei’s consolidated statement of changes on page 106 in the Circular): net asset increased by RMB467,756,000 as a result of share capital increase, net asset increased by RMB489,608,000 as a result of revaluation addition, whereas the loss in 2005 reduced net assets by RMB948,668,000 and shareholder dividends reduced net assets by RMB233,000,000. Consequently, net assets recorded a decrease due to such net asset additions as outrun by decreases. Hua Fei’s share capital growth and loss in 2005 are mainly due to merger of Hua Pu.

Turnover decreased in 2005 compared with 2004, principally owing to price decrease of colour picture tubes under fierce market competition.

The net loss of Hua Fei for 2005 is mainly due to the one-off goodwill impairment of approximately RMB1,056,484,000 arising from the merger of Hua Pu and the acquisition of Jin Hui. The net profit of Hua Fei for 2005 before taxation and the one-off goodwill impairment amounted to approximately RMB116,648,000.

— 8 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The merger of Hua Pu was effected as a result of the commercial consideration of the existing shareholders of Hua Fei. On 31 October 2005 (date of business combination), Hua Pu’s share capital was RMB467,756,000, net liabilities value was RMB578,498,000. As a result of the combination, the share capital of Hua Fei was increased by approximately RMB467,756,000 to satisfy the cost of combination of Hua Pu’s business. The amount of goodwill arising as a result of the merger was approximately RMB1,046,254,000. Since Hua Pu has ceased its business after the merger, the goodwill arising from the merger is to be fully provided for in accordance with the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard 3-Business Combination and Hong Kong Accounting Standard 36-Impairment of Assets. The goodwill impairment loss is recognized in the income statement for the year ended 31 December 2005.

The acquisition cost of Jin Hui was RMB68,459,000 and the net asset as at 30 November 2005 (the date of acquisition) was RMB58,229,000. Since Jin Hui did not receive any profit in 2005, provision of impairment of goodwill was made.

Hua Pu was principally engaged in manufacturing display tubes for computer displayers, but the business ceased after the merger.

Jin Hui is principally engaged in supplying metal parts for Hua Fei’s picture tubes.

Hua Fei will continue to develop colour picture tube business, further reduce costs, enhance the quality, develop new products and expand overseas market. Especially, it will take the lead to launch superslim picture tube products in China, so as to further strengthen competitive edge and secure stable growth. Accordingly, the directors believe that Hua Fei will achieve favourable operating results in the future.

D. THE CONSIDERATION FOR THE OBJECT OF THE TRANSACTION AND THE BASIS UPON WHICH THE CONSIDERATION WAS DETERMINED

The consideration for the transfer of the JIT Shares is the Debt being a total sum of RMB500 million together with interest thereon, totaling RMB522,487,000.

The value of JIT Shares valued at RMB522,487,000 was determined after arm’s length negotiation between the Company and Jiangsu International Trust by reference to the audited net assets value of Hua Fei as at 31 December 2005 of RMB2,089,948,000 and also the market value on Hua Fei’s Property Plant and Equipment at RMB2,419,654,000 together with the indicative value on its certain buildings and structure at RMB711,100,000 as at 31 December 2005 by Vigers Appraisal & Consulting Ltd.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PANDA MOBILE

Panda Mobile was a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and was held by the Company (as to 51%) and Mr. Ma Zi Ping (as to 49%) until the Judicial Forceful Execution. Since Mr. Ma Zi Ping has been a director and shareholder of Panda Mobile, holding more than 30% shareholding, Panda Mobile was a connected person to the Company. After the Judicial Forceful Execution, there is no shareholding relation between the Company and Panda Mobile.

Panda Mobile’s principal business up to 10 March 2005 was the sale of mobile phones and telecommunication products.

F. THE REASONS FOR THE FURTHER ASSIGNMENT OF DEBT AND THE TRANSFER

Panda Mobile was in financial difficulties and would be unlikely to repay the Debt to the Company. Since Jiangsu Investment Management has a higher credit rating, the Company therefore agreed to the transfer of RMB500 million owed by Panda Mobile to Jiangsu Investment Management.

Ever since the signing of Assignment of Debt Agreement, the Company has proactively liaised with Jiangsu Investment Management to finalize the detailed terms of repayment of the Debt. With the huge support from Jiangsu Provincial Government and Nanjing City Government, it was proposed that the JIT Shares would be transferred to the Company in satisfaction of the whole of the Debt. Therefore, on 8 May 2006, the Company has entered into a Further Assignment of Debt and the Equity Transfer Agreement. Besides Hua Fei, there is no other option available for the repayment of the Debt.

G. BENEFITS OF THE FURTHER ASSIGNMENT OF DEBT AND THE TRANSFER

As advised by the Company’s PRC lawyer, the Assignment of Debt and the Equity Transfer Agreement comply with the requirement of the relevant PRC laws and regulations and the Assignment of Debt Agreement and the Further Assignment of Debt contain no content or terms that are detrimental to the interest of the Company and the Shareholders and are in line with fair and just principles.

With the implementation of the Assignment of Debt Agreement and the Further Assignment of Debt, the creditor/debtor relationship between Panda Mobile and the Company would cease and creditor/ debtor relationship was created between Jiangsu International Trust and the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Financial Impact

Upon completion of the Assignment of Debt and the Transfer, the Debt and interests accrued payable to the Company by Panda Mobile will be converted into equity investment in Hua Fei, resulting in a decrease in the Company’s other receivables by RMB500,000,000, an increase in other income by RMB22,487,000 and an increase in long-term equity investment by RMB522,487,000.

Set out in Appendix III to this circular is the Accountants’ Report on unaudited pro forma financial information.

The transfer of the creditor’s right and indebtedness to Jiangsu International Trust is beneficial to the Company as the Company would now be able to recover the Debt as well as broaden its investment income base. The Directors believe that Hua Fei is competitive and that the Transfer of the JIT Shares to the Company is in line with the Company’s strategy to broaden its income base with different investment opportunities of growth potential and balance its exposure to risks in different markets.

The Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors, whose opinion is included in the letter from the Independent Board Committee set out on pages 18 to 19 of this circular) believe that the Assignment of Debt Agreement, the Further Assignment of Debt and Equity Transfer Agreement are beneficial to the Company and the terms of the transactions are fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Shareholders as a whole.

After the completion of the Transfer, the Company will be bound by the joint venture agreement (合 資經營華飛彩色顯示系統有限公司合同) and its articles of association (公司章程) already entered into between Jiangsu International Trust and the other three shareholders of Hua Fei and all the shareholders of Hua Fei would sign the said joint venture agreement and the said articles of association which would be amended with the Company, instead of Jiangsu International Trust, as a party therein. Up to the date of this circular, there is no capital commitment to Hua Fei by the Company.

Turnover and profit before taxation from the Group’s continuing operations demonstrated a steady growing momentum for the last three years. The decrease in the Group’s turnover and net profit for 2004 is mainly attributable to the judicial forceful execution on Panda Mobile and Panda Communication. Thereafter, the Group was committed to other continuing operations and maintained a healthy growing momentum.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our recommendations for the Assignment of Debt and the Transfer, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons:

1. Background to and reasons for the Assignment of Debt and the Transfer

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

We note from the Company’s announcement dated 9 September 2005 (the “2005 Announcement”) that Panda Mobile was a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company until the Judicial Forceful Execution and owed the Company a debt of RMB500 million (the “Principal Debt”) as of 9 March 2005. As stated in the 2005 Announcement, in 2004, Panda Mobile had incurred an unaudited loss before tax of approximately RMB21.7 million and was in financial difficulties and would be unlikely to repay the Principal Debt to the Company. It has also been stated in the 2005 Announcement that Jiangsu Investment Management which has a higher credit rating decided to take over the responsibility of the repayment of the Principal Debt under the support of Jiangsu Provincial Government and Nanjing City Government. Given this and with an aim to reduce the risk of non-recovery of the Principal Debt, the Company entered into the Assignment of Debt Agreement with Panda Mobile and Jiangsu Investment Management on 9 March 2005 in relation to the transfer of the Principal Debt owed to it by Panda Mobile to Jiangsu Investment Management. We have been confirmed and ascertained by the Directors that save for the said assignment, there was no other alternative repayment arrangement for the Principal Debt proposed by Panda Mobile to the Company. We note from the “Letter from the Board” in the Circular that the Company has been liaising with Jiangsu Investment Management to finalise the detailed repayment terms of the Debt since the signing of the Assignment of Debt Agreement.

In order to settle the Debt, the Company entered into the Further Assignment of Debt with Jiangsu Investment Management and Jiangsu International Trust on 8 May 2006 pursuant to which the Company agreed to transfer the Debt repayable by Jiangsu Investment Management to Jiangsu International Trust and Jiangsu International Trust agreed to assume and repay the Debt to the Company. On the same day, the Company entered into the Equity Transfer Agreement with Jiangsu International Trust whereby Jiangsu International Trust agreed to the transfer of the JIT Shares to the Company in satisfaction of the whole of the Debt in an amount of RMB522,487,000 in aggregate repayable by Jiangsu International Trust to the Company pursuant to the Further Assignment of Debt. It is noted that save for the Transfer, there is no other option available to the Company for the repayment of the Debt.

— 22 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

We note that based on the advice of the Company’s PRC lawyer, the Assignment of Debt and the Equity Transfer Agreement comply with the requirement of the relevant PRC laws and regulations and the Assignment of Debt Agreement and the Further Assignment of Debt contain no content or terms that are detrimental to the interest of the Company and the Shareholders and are in line with fair and just principles. We also note that the Company has appointed an independent financial advisor in the PRC to advise on the Assignment of Debt Agreement, the Further Assignment of Debt and the Equity Transfer Agreement. According to the PRC IFA’s report (中原證券股份有限公司關於南京熊貓電 子股份有限公司債權債 務轉移與股權轉讓的獨立財務顧問報告) dated 10 May 2006 issued by the PRC IFA, (i) the Assignment of Debt and the Transfer are in compliance with the PRC relevant laws, rules and regulations on arm’s length, transparent, fair and just; (ii) the consideration of the relevant transactions is fair and reasonable which is not only beneficial to the recovery of the Debt due to the Company and the improvement of the Company’s asset quality, but are also helpful for improvement of its performance and future development in the long run; and (iii) the relevant transactions are in the interests of Company and the Shareholders. Furthermore, it is noted that consents to the Transfer and agreements of not to exercise the respective pre-emptive rights have been obtained by Jiangsu International Trust from the other three existing shareholders of Hua Fei namely, LG. Philips Displays (China) Limited (樂金•飛利浦顯示件中國有限公司), Nanjing Hua Dong Electronics Information Technology Holdings Limited (南京華東電子信息科技股份有限公司) and Nanjing Hua Dong Electronics Group Limited (南京華東電子集團有限公司) (collectively the “Other Shareholders”) respectively.

In view of the foregoing, we concur with the views of the Directors that the transfer of the creditor’s right and indebtedness to Jiangsu International Trust is beneficial to the Company as the Company would now be able to recover the Debt. In this regard, we consider that the Assignment of Debt and the Transfer would be in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

2. Information on Hua Fei

Business of Hua Fei and future intention of the Company

The self-produced products relate to electronic products and the brand names of such products are 「華飛牌」 and 「樂金•飛利浦」, translated respectively as Hua Fei Brand and LG. Philips. We note that according to the information from the Ministry of Information Industry of PRC, Hua Fei took the fourth position in the PRC market in respect of production volume of colour tubes in the first quarter of 2006 (2006年第一季度彩管產量在全國居第四位) and was also renowned as foreign investment advanced technology enterprise (外商投資先進技術企業) by Nanjing City Foregign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau (南京市對外貿易經濟合作局) in April 2006.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Furthermore, it is stated in the “Letter from the Board” in the Circular that the joint venture agreement (合資經營華飛彩色顯示系統有限公司合同) entered into among Jiangsu International Trust and the Other Shareholders on 22 November 2004 (the “Joint Venture Agreement”) would be amended with the Company, instead of Jiangsu International Trust, as a party thereof upon completion of the Transfer. As confirmed by the Directors, upon completion of the Transfer, the Company will enter into a new joint venture agreement with the Other Shareholders (the “New Joint Venture Agreement”), and each of the Company and the Other Shareholders will be bound by the terms and the conditions under the New Joint Venture Agreement thereafter. The Directors further confirmed that none of the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement is considered to be detrimental to the interest of the Company, and it is the intention of the Company and the Other Shareholders to enter into the New Joint Venture Agreement under the same terms and conditions of the Joint Venture Agreement upon completion of the Transfer. As such, save for the replacement of Jiangsi International Trust by the Company as a party to the New Joint Venture Agreement, the Directors expect that the terms and the conditions of the New Joint Venture Agreement will be the same as those of the Joint Venture Agreement. We have reviewed the principal terms of the Joint Venture Agreement provided by the Company’s PRC lawyer, and are not aware of any of such terms in substance that are detrimental to the interest of the Company. In addition, we have been confirmed and ascertained by the Company that there is no capital commitment to Hua Fei by the Company as at the date of the Circular, and the Company’s future capital commitment to Hua Fei would be subject to New Joint Venture Agreement.

The table below sets out the audited turnover and profit/(loss) before and after tax of the Hua Fei Group for each of the three years ended 31 December 2005 as extracted from the Accountants’ Report in Appendix II to the Circular:

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Based on the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Hua Fei Group set out in Appendix II to the Circular, the audited net asset value of the Hua Fei Group amounted to RMB2,299,578,000 and RMB2,089,948,000 as at 31 December 2004 and 2005 respectively.

As shown in the table above, for the year ended 31 December 2004, the Hua Fei Group recorded a decrease in turnover of approximately RMB42.4 million and an increase in profit after taxation of approximately RMB112.3 million as compared to those for the previous year. We have been advised by the Directors that the decrease in turnover was mainly due to price reduction of Hua Fei’s product whereas the increase in profit was mainly attributable to the introduction of new products which were of higher profit margin and the adoption of better cost control measures. For the year ended 31 December 2005, the Hua Fei Group’s turnover and loss after taxation amounted to approximately RMB3,649.5 million and RMB948.7 million respectively. As stated in the “Letter from the Board” in the Circular, for the year ended 31 December 2005, the decrease in the Hua Fei Group’s turnover was mainly due to price decrease of colour picture tubes under fierce market competition whilst the loss of the Hua Fei Group was mainly attributable to the one-off impairment of goodwill of approximately RMB1,056.5 million (the “Goodwill”) arising from the merger of Hua Pu and the acquisition of Jin Hui. As noted from the “Letter from the Board” in the Circular, the merger of Hua Pu was effected as a result of the commercial consideration of the existing shareholders of Hua Fei, and Hua Pu has ceased its business being principally the manufacture of display tubes for computer displayers after the merger. In addition, we have been advised by the Company that the acquisition of Jin Hui by Hua Fei was effected as a business development strategy after taking into account the commercial benefits of vertical integration to Hua Fei’s business. It is noted that Jin Hui is principally engaged in the supply of metal parts for Hua Fei’s picture tubes. As referred to in the “Letter to the Board” in the Circular, for each of the three years ended 31 December 2005, the Hua Fei’s net profit before taxation and impairment of goodwill was approximately RMB171.2 million, RMB283.5 million and RMB116.6 million respectively. The Directors advised that the business of Hua Fei is considered to be a new business to the Group which would allow the Group to broaden its income stream, and thus consider that the Transfer could have a positve impact on the Group. Given this and taking into account the track record of the Hua Fei Group, the impairment of the Goodwill is one-off in nature and the market recognition of Hua Fei in the PRC, we consider that it is reasonable for the Directors to believe that Hua Fei is capable of achieving favourable operating results in the future and that the Transfer could have a positve impact on the Group.

  6. Consolidated profit after taxation and impairment of the Goodwill extracted from the Accountants’ Report set out in Appendix II to the Circular.

  7. The audited financial results of the Listed Comparables are extracted from the latest published annual reports of the Listed Comparables respectively.

Given the above and the fact that the impairment of the Goodwill is of a one-off nature, and taking into account the market position of Hua Fei in the PRC and the recent financial performance of the Hua Fei Group as compared to those of the Listed Comparables, we concur with the Directors’ view that the transfer of the creditor’s right and indebtedness to Jiangsu International Trust is beneficial to the Company as the Company would now be able to broaden its investment income base. In this regard, we consider that the Assignment of Debt and the Transfer would be in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

3. Consideration for the Transfer

Pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreement, the consideration for the Transfer is the Debt being RMB522,487,000 in aggregate (being the total sum of RMB500 million together with accrued interest thereon) (the “Consideration”), representing 25% of the audited net asset value of the Hua Fei Group of RMB2,089,948,000 as at 31 December 2005 as shown in the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Hua Fei Group set out in Appendix II to the Circular. The Consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiation among the Company and Jiangsu International Trust after taking into account the estimation of the value of the JIT Shares as at 31 December 2005 being RMB522,487,000 with reference to the audited net assets value of Hua Fei as at 31 December 2005 and the valuation report of Hua Fei’s property, plant and equipment as at 31 December 2005 by the Valuer.

As shown in the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Hua Fei Group set out in Appendix II to the Circular, the audited consolidated total assets of the Hua Fei Group was approximately RMB4,534.7 million as at 31 December 2005, of which approximately RMB3,008.4 million was attributable to the property, plant and equipment which accounted for approximately 66.3% of the consolidated total assets of the Hua Fei Group as at 31 December 2005. In view of the Hua Fei Group’s asset backing is principally consisted of its interests in property, plant and equipment in the PRC, we consider it is appropriate to value the Hua Fei Group based on its net asset value.

As a supplement reference, we adopt the price-to-net assets analysis to assess the fair and reasonableness of the Consideration. The following table sets out the price-to-net assets ratio of the Listed Comparables:

Notes:

  1. Based on the closing price of shares of each of the Listed Comparables as at the date of the Equity Transfer Agreement, being 8 May 2006.

  2. Based on their latest published financial statements and existing issued share capital.

As illustrated in the table above, we note that the Consideration represents a price-to-net assets ratio of 1 times the 25% of the audited consolidated net asset value of the Hua Fei Group as at 31 December 2005. We also note that the price-to-net assets ratio as implied under the Consideration also falls within the range of the historic price-to-net assets ratios of the Listed Comparables of approximately 0.3 times to 1.2 times as at the date of the Equity Transfer Agreement.

While the price-to-earnings analysis is one of the most commonly used valuation methods for business enterprises, unfortunately, most of the Listed Comparables and the Hua Fei Group recorded losses for their respective latest financial year, the price-to-earnings analysis is therefore not applicable to be used to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Consideration.

Having taking into account (i) the asset backing of the Hua Fei Group; (ii) the Consideration which has been determined after arm’s length negotiation between the parties represents 25% of the audited net asset value of the Hua Fei Group as at 31 December 2005; and (iii) the price-to-net assets ratio as implied under the Consideration falls within the range of the historic price-to-net assets ratios of the Listed Comparables, we consider that the Consideration is fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

4. Financial effects of the Transfer on the Group

Earnings

It is noted that upon completion of the Assignment of Debt and the Transfer, Hua Fei will be accounted for as an investment in associated company of the Company and the Debt repayable to the Company by Jiangsu International Trust will be converted into equity investment in Hua Fei. The total interest accrued of RMB22,487,000 would be recognised as other income of the Company.

According to the audited consolidated income statement of the Hua Fei Group set out in Appendix II to the Circular, Hua Fei recorded a profit after taxation of approximately RMB158.7 million and RMB271.0 million for the two years ended 31 December 2004 respectively and a loss after taxation of approximately RMB948.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2005. It is noted that the loss incurred in the year ended 31 December 2005 was mainly due to the impairment of the Goodwill which is of a one-off nature. Based on the unaudited pro forma income statement of the Enlarged Group set out in Appendix III to the Circular, the unaudited pro forma net loss of the Enlarged Group is approximately RMB117.7 million. Notwithstanding the above, the Directors expect that after taking into account the track record of Hua Fei in the recent years, the Assignment of Debt and the Transfer will have a positive impact on the earnings base of the Group.

Net tangible assets

Based on the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Group as at 31 December 2005 set out in Appendix II to the Circular, the audited consolidated net tangible assets of the Group was approximately RMB1,322.2 million. Based on the unaudited pro forma balance sheet of the Enlarged Group set out in Appendix III to the Circular, the unaudited pro forma net tangible asset of the Enlarged Group would be approximately RMB 1,344.7 million. The net assets position of the Group would be slightly improved by RMB22.5 million, representing the accrued interest on the Principal Debt.

Working capital

The Transfer is only for the purpose of repayment of the Debt by Jiangsu International Trust to the Company and the entire amount of the Consideration represents the whole of the Debt repayable by Jiangsu International Trust to the Company pursuant to the Further Assignment of Debt. As such, no financing for the Consideration by the Company is necessary.

It is noted that up to the date of the Circular, there is no capital commitment to Hua Fei by the Company, and therefore the Group will not be required to support the funding or working capital requirements of the Hei Fei Group. Given the above, there would not be any adverse impact on the working capital position of the Group as a result of the Assignment of Debt and the Transfer.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

RECOMMENDATION

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

  • (i) the then financial performance of Panda Mobile and the financial difficulties encountered by it to repay the Principal Debt to the Company;

  • (ii) Further Assignment of Debt will provide an opportunity for the Group to expedite the recovery of the Debt, after taking into account the prolonged process of negotiation for the settlement of the Debt since the entering into of the Assignment of Debt Agreement;

  • (iii) the comparison of the financial performance of the Hua Fei Group and the Listed Comparables as discussed in the paragraph headed “Track record of Hua Fei” above; and

  • (iv) the price-to-net assets ratio as implied under the Consideration is 1 times the 25% of the audited consolidated net asset value of the Hua Fei Group as at 31 December 2005, which falls within the range of the historic price-to-net assets ratios of the Listed Comparables.

we are of the view that the terms of the Assignment of Debt and the Transfer are fair and reasonable as far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Assignment of Debt and the Transfer.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of

VXL Financial Services Limited Gary Mui Director

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

A. SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

An unqualified opinion in respect of the audit of the financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2003, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong, has been issued by the auditors.

The financial statements of the Group which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong for the year ended 31 December 2004 and 2005 were qualified by the auditors as follows:

HIGHLIGHT OF THE AUDITORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2005

Basis of opinion

The evidence available to the Auditors was limited because on 10 March 2005, the People’s Court in Nanjing ordered the Company to surrender its equity interests in two subsidiaries of the Group and the transfer of the equity was completed on the next day. As the Company was not able to access their books and records, or to obtain or prepare their financial statements, the financial statements of these subsidiaries have not been consolidated for the period from 1 January 2005 to the date of equity transfer. There were no other satisfactory audit procedures the Auditors could adopt to ascertain with reasonable accuracy the impact on the financial position and result of the Group caused by the exclusion of these two subsidiaries from the consolidated financial statements.

In forming their opinion the Auditors also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements. The Auditors believe that their audit provides a reasonable basis for their opinion.

Qualified opinion arising from limitation of audit scope

In their opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the Company and the Group as at 31 December 2005. Except for any adjustments that might have been found to be necessary had we been able to obtain sufficient financial information of the subsidiaries for the period from 1 January 2005 to the date of equity transfer referred to above, in their opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the profit and cash flows of the Group for the year then ended and have been properly prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

In respect alone of the limitation of their work related to the matters as stated above:

  • The Auditors have not obtained all the information and explanations that they considered necessary for the purpose of their audit; and

  • They are unable to determine whether proper books of account had been kept.

APPENDIX I

HIGHLIGHT OF THE AUDITORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2004

Basis of opinion

The evidence available to the Auditors was limited in the following respect:

  1. On 10 March 2005, the People’s Court in Nanjing ordered the Company to surrender its equity interests in two subsidiaries of the Group and the transfer of the equity was completed on the next day. As the Company was not able to access their books and records, or to obtain or prepare their financial statements, the financial statements of these subsidiaries have not been consolidated. There were no other satisfactory audit procedures the Auditors could adopt to ascertain with reasonable accuracy the impact on the financial position and result of the Group caused by the exclusion of these two subsidiaries from the consolidated financial statements.

  2. Included in the balance sheets of the Company and the Group at 31 December 2004 were investments in two unconsolidated subsidiaries referred to paragraph 1 above with a total carrying value of approximately RMB121,017,000 and a total amount of approximately RMB852,551,000 due from these two subsidiaries. The above carrying value of the investments in these two subsidiaries are stated net of a provision of approximately RMB84,033,000 made by the directors in the current year. The Auditors are unable to obtain relevant and reliable financial information of these two subsidiaries and there were no other satisfactory audit procedures that they could adopt to assess the carrying value of the investments in these two subsidiaries and amount due from them. The Auditors therefore unable to satisfy themselves as to whether the carrying value of the investments in these two subsidiaries and the amount due from them are fairly and properly stated in the financial statements.

  3. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the People’s Court in Nanjing has ordered the Company to surrender it’s equity interests in the two unconsolidated subsidiaries referred to paragraph 1 above as settlement of an overdue debt. The information available was not sufficient for the Auditors to fully understand the background and circumstances leading to this event. Accordingly, the Auditors are unable to assess the impact, if any, the event may have on the financial statements and the adequacy of the information disclosed.

In forming their opinion the Auditors also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements. The Auditors believe that their audit provides a reasonable basis for their opinion.

Qualified opinion arising from limitation of audit scope

Except for any adjustments that might have been found to be necessary had the Auditors been able to obtain sufficient evidence on the matters referred to in the “Basis of opinion” paragraph, in their opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the Company and the Group as at 31 December 2004 or of the profit and cash flows of the Group for the year then ended and have been properly prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 December 2005

Prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong

1. ORGANISATION AND OPERATIONS

The Company was established in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) on 29 April 1992, as a joint stock limited company by way of private subscription with Panda Electronics Group Company, a state-owned enterprise, as the sole promoter. The Company was listed on The Stock Exchange and the Shanghai Stock Exchange on 2 May 1996 and 18 November 1996 respectively. In July 1999, Panda Electronics Group Company was re-organised into a company with limited liability and was renamed as “Panda Electronics Group Limited” (熊貓電子集團有限公司) and continued to be the Company’s ultimate holding company.

The principal activities of the Group are the development, manufacture and sale of electronic manufacturing products, electronic information products, satellite communication system and electromechanical products.

2. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

In the current year, the Group has adopted all of the new and revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS”) and Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKAS”) (collectively “HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”) which are relevant to its operations and effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January, 2005. The applicable HKFRSs are set out below and the 2004 comparatives have been restated in accordance with the relevant requirements.

HKAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements HKAS 2 Inventories HKAS 7 Cash Flow Statements HKAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors HKAS 10 Events after the Balance Sheet Date HKAS 12 Income Taxes HKAS 14 Segment Reporting HKAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment HKAS 17 Leases HKAS 18 Revenues HKAS 19 Employee Benefits HKAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates HKAS 23 Borrowing Costs HKAS 24 Related Party Disclosures HKAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements HKAS 28 Investments in Associates HKAS 32 Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation HKAS 33 Earnings per Share HKAS 36 Impairment of Assets HKAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets HKAS 38 Intangible Assets HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement HKFRS 3 Business Combinations HKAS-Int 27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease

— 46 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

The effects of the adoption of these HKFRSs on the Group’s accounting policies and on amount disclosed in the financial statements are summarised as follows:

  • (a) HKAS 1 has affected the presentation of minority interest, share of net after-tax results of associates and other disclosures.

  • (b) HKASs 2, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19, 23, 27, 28, 33, 37 and HKAS-Int 27 had no material effect on the Group’s policies.

  • (c) HKAS 21 had no material effect on the Group’s policy. The functional currency of each of the consolidated entities has been re-evaluated based on the guidance to the revised standard. All the Group entities have the same functional currency and presentation currency.

  • (d) HKAS 24 has affected the identification of related parties and the disclosure of related party transactions.

  • (e) HKAS 38 had no material effect on the Group’s policy. The Group has reassessed the useful lives of its intangible assets in accordance with the provisions of HKAS 38. No adjustment resulted from this reassessment.

  • (f) Leasehold land and buildings held for own use (HKAS 17 – Lease)

In prior years, leasehold land and buildings held for own use were stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

With adoption of HKAS 17 as from 1st January, 2005, the leasehold interest in the land and buildings as held for own use is separated into leasehold land and leasehold buildings. Leasehold land is accounted for as being held under an operating lease if the fair value of the interest in any buildings situated on the leasehold land could be separately identified from the fair value of the leasehold interest in the land at the time the lease was first entered into by the Group, or taken over from the previous lessee, or at the date of construction of those buildings. Land lease prepayments under operating leases is initially stated at cost and subsequently amortised on the straight-line basis over the lease term.

As a result of the change in accounting policy, land use rights on the balance sheets as at 31st December, 2005 and comparative amount as at 31st December, 2004 have been restated to reflect the reclassification of leasehold land.

— 47 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

  • (g) Amortisation of positive and negative goodwill (HKFRS 3 – Business combinations and HKAS 36 – Impairment of assets)

In prior periods:

  • positive goodwill was amortised on a straight-line basis over its useful life and was subject to impairment testing when there were indications of impairment; and

  • negative goodwill was amortised over the weighted average useful life of the depreciable/amortisable non-monetary assets acquired, except to the extent it related to identified expected future losses as at the date of acquisition. In such cases it was recognised in the profit and loss account as those expected losses were incurred.

With effect from 1st January, 2005, in accordance with HKFRS 3 and HKAS 36, the Group no longer amortises positive goodwill. Such goodwill is tested annually for impairment, including in the year of its initial recognition, as well as when there are indications of impairment. Impairment losses are recognised when the carrying amount

Amortisation of the cash generating unit to which the goodwill had been allocated exceeds its recoverable amount.

Also with effect from 1st January, 2005 and in accordance with HKFRS 3, if the fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination exceeds the consideration paid (i.e. an amount arises which would have been known as negative goodwill under the previous accounting policy) after reassessment, the excess is recognised immediately in the profit and loss account as it arises.

In accordance with the transitional arrangements under HKFRS 3, on 1 January, 2005, the Group eliminated the carrying amount of accumulated amortisation with a corresponding entry to the positive goodwill, comparative amounts have not been restated and no amortisation charge for goodwill has been recognised in the profit and loss account for the year ended 31 December, 2005. This has increased the Group’s net profit for the year ended 31 December 2005 by approximately RMB1,722,000.

The transitional arrangement also required the Group to derecognise at 1 January 2005 the carrying amounts of negative goodwill (including the remaining in consolidated capital reserve) against the opening balance of retained profits. This arrangement reduced the Group’s capital reserve at 31 December 2005 by approximately RMB1,090,000, with a corresponding increase to the retained profits.

APPENDIX I

  • (h) Financial instruments (HKAS 32 – Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation and HKAS39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement)

In prior year, receivables are recognised initially at cost and subsequently provision is made to the extent the receivables are considered to be doubtful.

In accordance with HKAS 32 and HKAS 39, receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate and is recognised in the profit and loss account. The change in accounting policy has no impact on the result of the Group for the year ended 31st December, 2005.

The Group has not early adopted the following new standards or interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective.

Effective for accounting periods
beginning on or after
HKAS 1 (Amendment) Capital Disclosures 1st January, 2007
HKAS 39 (Amendment) The Fair Value Option 1st January, 2006
HKFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures 1st January, 2007
HK (IFRIC) – Int 4 Determining Whether an 1st January, 2006
Arrangement Contains a Lease

The Group is in the process of making an assessment of what the impact of these new or revised standards or interpretations is expected to be in the period of initial application.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

3. Significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies which have been adopted in preparing the financial statements are as follows:

(a) Basic of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and comply with accounting standards issued by the HKICPA and the disclosures requirement by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified except for certain property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and other investment, which are modified by revaluation and financial instruments, which are stated at fair values.

(b) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries made up to 31 December each year. The results of the subsidiaries acquired and disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. All significant intercompany transactions , balances and unrealised gains on transaction between group enterprises are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provide evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

Minority interest at the balance sheet date, being the portion of the net assets of subsidiaries attributable to equity interests that are not owned by the company, whether directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, are presented in the consolidated balance sheet and statement of changes in equity within equity, separately from equity attributable to the equity shareholders of the company. Minority interest in the results of the Group are presented on the face of the consolidated income statement as an allocation of the total profit or loss for the year between minority interest and the equity shareholders of the company.

Losses applicable to the minority in excess of the minority’s interest in the subsidiary’s equity are allocated against the interests of the Group except to the extent that the minority has a binding obligation and is able to make an additional investment to cover the losses. If the subsidiary subsequently reports profits, all such profits are allocated to the Group’s interest until the minority’s share of losses previously absorbed by the Group has been recovered.

— 50 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

(c) Business combinations

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of the acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognised at their values at the acquisition date.

Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised as an asset and initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised. If, after reassessment, the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceeds the cost of the business combination, the excess is recognised immediately in profit and loss account.

(d) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the subsidiary or an associate recognised at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill on acquisitions of associates is included in investments in associates.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cashgenerating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is unit pro-rate on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.

On disposal of a subsidiary or an associate, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

— 51 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

(e) Subsidiaries

A subsidiary is an enterprise in which the Group has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies, so as to obtain benefits from their activities.

Interests in subsidiaries are included in the Company’s balance sheet at cost less any impairment losses. The results of the subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividend received and receivable.

Details of the Company’s subsidiaries as of 31 December 2005 are set out in Note 20 of the financial statements.

(f) Associated companies

An associate is an enterprise, not being a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture, over which the group is in a position to exercise significant influence, through participation in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee.

The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investments in associates are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost as adjusted for postacquisition changes in the Group’s share of the net assets of the associate, less impairment in the value of individual investments. Losses of an associate in excess of the group’s interest in that associate are not recognised. The goodwill is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is assessed for impairment as part of the investment.

Where a group enterprise transacts with an associate of the Group, unrealized gains and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the relevant associate, except where unrealised losses provide evidence of an impairment of the assets transferred.

In the Company’s balance sheet, its investments in associates are stated at cost less impairment losses. The results of associates are accounted for by the company on the basis of dividends received and receivable.

— 52 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

(g) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost or valuation less depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its present working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditure incurred after the asset has been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance and overhead costs, is charged to income statement in the period in which it is incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the asset, the expenditure is capitalised as an additional cost of the asset.

The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an asset is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the income statement. Where the recoverable amount of an asset has declined below its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to reflect the decline in value. In determining the recoverable amount of assets, expected future cash flows are discounted to their present values.

It is the Group’s policy to determine the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment on the historical cost basis. However, in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, property, plant and equipment of the Group were revalued in 1995 in connection with the listing the Company’s shares on The Hong Kong Stock Exchange and stated in the financial statements at such valuation.

The Group does not intend to revalue these assets in the future and they will continue to be carried at their 1995 valuation less subsequent depreciation.

The surplus arising on the 1995 revaluation of these assets was credited to the asset revaluation reserve. Any future decrease in value of these assets will be charged to the income statement to the extent that it exceeds the balance, if any, on the revaluation reserve relating to the previous revaluation of the same asset. On the subsequent disposal or retirement of such assets, the attributable revaluation surplus not yet transferred to retained profits in prior years will be transferred to retained profits.

Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment over their anticipated useful lives on a straight-line basis at the following annual rates:

Buildings 15 to 35 years
Plant, machinery and equipment 5 to 11 years
Transportation equipment and motor vehicles 5 to 10 years

— 53 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

(h) Land use rights

Land use rights represent land use rights payments to the PRC’s government authorities. Land use rights are carried at cost less impairment loss and are amortised to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the respective periods of the rights.

(i) Construction in progress

Construction in progress represents buildings and machinery under construction or installation and is stated at cost less any impairment. Cost comprises direct and indirect costs of acquisition or construction as well as borrowing costs capitalised. Construction in progress is transferred to property, plant and equipment when they are completed. No depreciation is provided on construction in progress.

(j) Impairment of assets excluding goodwill

At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit and loss account , unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cashgenerating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit and loss account, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

— 54 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

(k) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost which comprises all costs of purchase and, where applicable, costs of conversion and other costs that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition, is calculated using the weighted average cost method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised as an expense in the year in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of any write down of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the year the write down or losses occur. The amount of any reversal of any write down of inventories, arising from an increase in net realizable value, is recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the year in which the reversal occurs.

(l) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the Group’s balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

(i) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are measured at initial recognition at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Appropriate provision for impairment for estimated irrecoverable amounts are recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired. The provision recognised is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition.

— 55 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

(ii) Investments

Investments are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis where the purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, plus directly attributable transaction cost.

At subsequent reporting dates, debts securities that the Group has the expressed intention and ability to hold to maturity (held-to-maturity debtsecurities) are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment loss recognised to reflect irrecoverable amounts. An impairment loss is recognised in profit and loss account when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the investment’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition. Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the investment’s recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to the restriction that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed shall not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

Investments other than held-to-maturity debt securities are classified as either investments held for trading or as available-for-sale, and are measured at subsequent reporting dates at fair value. Where securities are held for trading purposes, gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in profit or loss for the period. For available-for-sale investments, gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised directly in equity, until the security is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity is included in profit and loss account for the period. Impairment losses recognised in profit or loss for equity investments classified as availablefor-sale are not subsequently reversed through profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in profit or loss for debt instruments classified as available-for-sale are subsequently reversed if an increase in the fair value of the instrument can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss.

(iii) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. In preparing cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents include bank loans which require immediate repayment on demand .

— 56 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

(iv) Borrowings

Interest-bearing bank loans are initially measured at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the settlement or redemption of borrowings is recognised over the term of the borrowings in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy for borrowing costs (note 3(p)).

(v) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

(vi) Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the Commpany are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

(m) Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expenses that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax liabilities is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. However, such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. Tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date are used to determine deferred taxation.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

— 57 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited to profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

(n) Provisions and contingencies

A provision is recognised when there is a present obligation, legal or constructive, as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are reviewed regularly and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of a provision is the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation.

Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements. They are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. A contingent asset is not recognised in the financial statements but disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

(o) Translation of foreign currencies

The individual financial statements of each group entity are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are expressed in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is the functional currency of the Company and each group entity, and the presentation currency for the consolidated statements.

In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, foreign currency transactions are translated into RMB being the functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are included in profit and loss account for the period.

APPENDIX I

(p) Borrowings costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessary take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. Capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases when the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs capitalised.

All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the year in which they are incurred.

(q) Retirement benefit scheme

According to the relevant regulation in the PRC, the Group contributes to pension funds based on the standard rates fixed by the PRC Government. The Group remits all pension fund contributions to respective social security offices, which are responsible for the payment and liabilities relating to the pension funds. Payments to retirement benefits scheme are charged to the profit and loss account.

(r) Research and development costs

Expenditure on research and development is charged to the profit and loss account in the year in which it is incurred except where a major project is undertaken and it is reasonably anticipated that development costs will be recovered through future commercial activity. Such development costs are deferred and written off over the life of the project from the date of commencement of commercial operation.

(s) Operating leases

Leases where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of assets remain with the lessors are accounted for as operating leases. Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

(t) Trademarks

Trademarks are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated amortisation and provision, if necessary, for any impairment loss.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

(u) Recognition of income

Sales are recognised when goods are delivered to customers. Interest income from bank deposits is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the interest rate applicable. Dividend income from unlisted investments is recognised when the shareholders’ right to receive payment is established.

(v) Related parties

Parties are considered to be related to the Group if the Group has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions, or vice versa, or where the Group and the other party are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals (being members of key management personnel, significant shareholders and/or their close family members) or other entities and include entities which are under the significant influence of related parties of the Group where those parties are individuals, and post-employment benefit plans which are for the benefit of employees of the Group or of any entity that is a related party of the Group.

(w) Segment reporting

A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged either in providing products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments.

In accordance with the Group’s internal financial reporting, the Group has chosen business segment information as the primary reporting format and geographical segment information as the secondary reporting format.

Segment revenue, expenses, results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to that segment. Segment revenue, expenses, results, assets, and liabilities are determined before intragroup balances and intra-group transactions are eliminated as part of the consolidation process, except to the extent that such intra-group balances and transactions are between group enterprises within a single segment. Inter-segment pricing is based on similar terms as those available to other external parties.

Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire segment assets (both tangible and intangible) that are expected to be used for more than one period.

Unallocated items mainly comprise financial and corporate assets, interest-bearing loans, borrowings, corporate and financing expenses and minority interest.

APPENDIX I

4. Critical accounting and other key sources of estimation uncertainty

Judgements

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the judgements in relation to impairment of assets apart from those involving estimation as discussed below, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

In determining whether an asset is impaired or the event previously causing the impairment no longer exists, the Group has to exercise judgement in the area of asset impairment, particularly in assessing: (1) whether an event has occurred that may effect the asset value or such event affecting the asset value has not been in existence; (2) whether the carrying value of an asset can be supported by net present value of future cash flows which are estimated based upon the continued use of the asset or derecognition; and (3) the appropriate key assumptions to be applied in preparing cash flow projections including whether these cash flow projections are discounted using an appropriate rate. Changing the assumptions selected by management to determine the level of impairment, including the discount rates or the growth rate assumptions in the cash flow projections, could materially affect the net present value used in the impairment test.

Estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the Group’s assets and liabilities within the next financial year are in respect of impairment test of assets.

The Group determines whether an asset is impaired at least on an annual basis or where an indication of impairment exists. This requires an estimation of the value in use of the asset. Estimating the value in use requires the Group to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the assets and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.

5. Turnover

Turnover represents the invoiced value of goods sold and services provided to outside customers, net of sales taxes and discounts.

Taxation charge comprises:
PRC income tax 3,176 2,368

In 1995, the Company changed the place of its registration to Pukou, Nanjing, which is a High and New Technology Development Zone. On 29 August, 1995, the Company was recognised by the Jiangsu Science and Technology Commission as a High and New Technology Enterprise and such status has enabled the Company to pay income tax at the rate of 15% of its assessable profit with effect from 1 January 1995.

All subsidiaries of the Company pay income tax at the rates between 15% and 33%.

The taxation on the Group’s profit before taxation differs from the theoretical amount that would arise using the taxation rate of the home country of the Company as follows:

Profit before taxation
Tax calculated at the statutory
PRC tax rate of 33%
Exemption / reduction of income tax
under preferential tax treatment
Tax effect of:
Income not subject to taxation
Expenses not deductible for taxation purposes
Deferred tax benefits arising from
tax losses not recognised

11. Deferred taxation

The major component of the net deferred tax asset unprovided for at the balance sheet date represents unutilised tax losses computed under the PRC accounting standards. No provision for deferred taxation has been recognised in the financial statements as it is not certain that the benefits of the deferred tax asset will be utilised in the foreseeable future.

13. Dividends

No interim dividend was paid (2004 : RMBNil) and no final dividend is proposed for the year (2004 : RMBNil).

14. Earning per shares

The calculation of the earnings per share is based on profit attributable to the Company’s shareholders of RMB92,761,000 (2004 : RMB65,646,000) and 655,015,000 shares in issue throughout 2005 and 2004.

APPENDIX II

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Financial Information are prepared based on the audited financial statements of the companies comprising the Hua Fei Group, after making such adjustments as are appropriate to comply with the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS”).

All material intra-group transactions and balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

2. APPLICATION OF HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

For the year ended 31 December 2005, the Hua Fei Group has applied, for the first time, a number of new Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS”), Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”) and Interpretations (hereinafter collectively referred to as “new HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”) that are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005.

Impact of issued but not yet effective HKFRSs

The Hua Fei Group has not applied the following new and revised HKFRSs, that have been issued but are not yet effective, in these financial statements. Unless otherwise stated, these HKFRSs are effective for annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2006:

HKAS 1 Amendment Capital Disclosures HKAS 19 Amendment Actuarial Gains and Losses, Group Plans and Disclosures HKAS 21 Amendment Net Investment in a Foreign Operation HKAS 39 Amendment Cash Flow Hedge Accounting of Forecast Intragroup Transactions HKAS 39 Amendment The Fair Value Option HKAS 39 & HKFRS 4 Financial Guarantee Contracts (Amendments) HKFRS 6 Explorations for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources HKFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures HK(IFRIC)-Int 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a lease HK(IFRIC)-Int 5 Rights to Interests arising from Decommissioning, Restoration and Environmental Rehabilitation Funds HK(IFRIC)-Int 6 Liabilities arising from Participating in a Specific Market — Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment HK(IFRIC)-Int 7 Applying the Restatement Approach under HKFRS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economics

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF HUA FEI GROUP

APPENDIX II

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Financial Information have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for certain assets which are measured at fair value, as explained in the accounting policies set out below. The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the following policies which conform with the accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statement of the Hua Fei and its subsidiaries made up to 31 December each year. The results of the subsidiaries acquired and disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. All significant intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transaction between group enterprises are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

Minority interest at the balance sheet date, being the portion of the net assets of subsidiaries attributable to equity interests that are not owned by the company, whether directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, are presented in the consolidated balance sheet and statement of changes in equity within equity, separately from equity attributable to the equity shareholders of the company. Minority interest in the results of the Hua Fei Group are presented on the face of the consolidated income statement as an allocation of the total profit or loss for the year between minority interest and the equity shareholders of the company.

Losses applicable to the minority in excess of the minority’s interest in the subsidiary’s equity are allocated against the interests of the Hua Fei Group except to the extent that the minority has a binding obligation and is able to make an additional investment to cover the losses. If the subsidiary subsequently reports profits, all such profits are allocated to the Hua Fei Group’s interest until the minority’s share of losses previously absorbed by the Group has been recovered.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF HUA FEI GROUP

APPENDIX II

Business combination

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of the acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Hua Fei Group in exchange for control of the acquiree, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognised at their values at the acquisition date.

Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised as an asset and initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Hua Fei Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised. If, after reassessment, the Hua Fei Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceeds the cost of the business combination, the excess is recognised immediately in profit and loss account.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Hua Fei Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the subsidiary or an associate recognised at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill on acquisitions of associates is included in investments in associates.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Hua Fei Group’s cash-generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is unit prorate on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.

On disposal of a subsidiary or an associate, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

Subsidiaries

A subsidiary is an enterprise in which the Hua Fei Group has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies, so as to obtain benefits from their activities.

Investments in subsidiaries are included in the Hua Fei’s balance sheet at cost less any impairment losses. The results of the subsidiaries are accounted for by the Hua Fei on the basis of dividend received and receivable.

— 111 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF HUA FEI GROUP

APPENDIX II

Associated companies

An associate is an enterprise, not being a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture, over which the Hua Fei Group is in a position to exercise significant influence, through participation in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee.

The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investments in associates are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost as adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the Hua Fei Group’s share of the net assets of the associate, less impairment in the value of individual investments. Losses of an associate in excess of the Hua Fei Group’s interest in that associate are not recognised. The goodwill is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is assessed for impairment as part of the investment.

Where a Hua Fei Group enterprise transacts with an associate of the Hua Fei Group, unrealised gains and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Hua Fei Group’s interest in the relevant associate, except where unrealised losses provide evidence of an impairment of the assets transferred.

In the Hua Fei’s balance sheet, its investments in associates are stated at cost less impairment losses. The results of associates are accounted for by the Hua Fei on the basis of dividends received and receivable.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost or valuation less depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its present working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditure incurred after the asset has been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance and overhead costs, is charged to income statement in the period in which it is incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the asset, the expenditure is capitalised as an additional cost of the asset.

The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an asset is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the income statement. Where the recoverable amount of an asset has declined below its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to reflect the decline in value. In determining the recoverable amount of assets, expected future cash flows are discounted to their present values.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF HUA FEI GROUP

APPENDIX II

Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis to write off the cost of each asset over its estimated useful life after taking into account its estimated residual value. The estimated useful lives of fixed assets are as follows:

Buildings 25 - 33 years Plant and machinery 10 - 14 years Electronic equipment 7 years Chemical equipment 14 years Transportation equipment 7 years Others 5 years

Land use rights

Land use rights represent land use rights payments to the PRC’s government authorities. Land use rights are carried at cost less impairment loss and are amortised to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the respective periods of the rights.

Construction in progress

Construction in progress represents buildings and machinery under construction or installation and is stated at cost less any impairment. Cost comprises direct and indirect costs of acquisition or construction as well as borrowing costs capitalised. Construction in progress is transferred to property, plant and equipment when they are completed. No depreciation is provided on construction in progress.

Impairment of assets excluding goodwill

At each balance sheet date, the Hua Fei Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Hua Fei Group estimates the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Hua Fei Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pretax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

— 113 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF HUA FEI GROUP

APPENDIX II

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit and loss account, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cashgenerating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit and loss account, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost which comprises all costs of purchase and, where applicable, costs of conversion and other costs that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition, is calculated using the weighted average cost method.

Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised as an expense in the year in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of any write down of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the year the write down or losses occur. The amount of any reversal of any write down of inventories, arising from an increase in net realizable value, is recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the year in which the reversal occurs.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the Hua Fei Group’s balance sheet when the Hua Fei Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

  • (i) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are measured at initial recognition at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Appropriate provision for impairment for estimated irrecoverable amounts are recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired. The provision recognised is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition.

— 114 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF HUA FEI GROUP

APPENDIX II

(ii) Investments

Investments are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis where the purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, plus directly attributable transaction cost. At subsequent reporting dates, debts securities that the Hua Fei Group has the expressed intention and ability to hold to maturity (held-to-maturity debt securities) are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment loss recognised to reflect irrecoverable amounts. An impairment loss is recognised in profit and loss account when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the investment’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition. Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the investment’s recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to the restriction that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed shall not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

Investments other than held-to-maturity debt securities are classified as either investments held for trading or as available-for-sale, and are measured at subsequent reporting dates at fair value. Where securities are held for trading purposes, gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in profit or loss for the period. For available-for-sale investments, gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised directly in equity, until the security is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity is included in profit and loss account for the period. Impairment losses recognised in profit or loss for equity investments classified as available-for-sale are not subsequently reversed through profit or loss.

Impairment losses recognised in profit or loss for debt instruments classified as availablefor-sale are subsequently reversed if an increase in the fair value of the instrument can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss.

(iii) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and other shortterm highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. In preparing cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents include bank loans which require immediate repayment on demand.

APPENDIX II

(iv) Borrowings

Interest-bearing bank loans are initially measured at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the settlement or redemption of borrowings is recognised over the term of the borrowings in accordance with the Hua Fei Group’s accounting policy for borrowing costs.

  • (v) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

(vi) Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the Hua Fei are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expenses that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Hua Fei Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax liabilities is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. However, such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. Tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date are used to determine deferred taxation.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Hua Fei Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

— 116 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF HUA FEI GROUP

APPENDIX II

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited to profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Hua Fei Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Provisions and contingencies

A provision is recognised when there is a present obligation, legal or constructive, as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are reviewed regularly and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of a provision is the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation.

Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements. They are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. A contingent asset is not recognised in the financial statements but disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

Translation of foreign currencies

The individual financial statements of each Hua Fei Group entity are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are expressed in Renminbi “RMB”), which is the functional currency of the Hua Fei and each Hua Fei Group entity, and the presentation currency for the consolidated statements.

In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, foreign currency transactions are translated into RMB being the functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions.

At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Nonmonetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are included in profit and loss account for the period.

APPENDIX II

Borrowings costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessary take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. Capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases when the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs capitalised.

All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the year in which they are incurred.

Retirement benefit scheme

According to the relevant regulation in the PRC, the Hua Fei Group contributes to pension funds based on the standard rates fixed by the PRC Government. The Hua Fei Group remits all pension fund contributions to respective social security offices, which are responsible for the payment and liabilities relating to the pension funds. Payments to retirement benefits scheme are charged to the profit and loss account.

Operating leases

Leases where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of assets remain with the lessors are accounted for as operating leases. Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

Recognition of income

Revenue is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Hua Fei Group and when the revenue can be measured reliably, on the following bases:

  • (a) Sales are recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer;

  • (b) Interest income from bank deposits is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the interest rate applicable;

  • (c) from the rendering of services, when the services are rendered;

  • (d) rental income, in the period in which the properties are let out and on the straight-line basis over the lease term.

Related parties

Parties are considered to be related to the Hua Fei Group if the Hua Fei Group has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions, or vice versa, or where the Hua Fei Group and the other party are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals (being members of key management personnel, significant shareholders and/or their close family members) or other entities and include entities which are under the significant influence of related parties of the Hua Fei Group where those parties are individuals, and postemployment benefit plans which are for the benefit of employees of the Hua Fei Group or of any entity that is a related party of the Hua Fei Group.

Critical accounting and other key sources of estimation uncertainty

Judgements

In the process of applying the Hua Fei Group’s accounting policies, management has made the judgements in relation to impairment of assets apart from those involving estimation as discussed below, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

In determining whether an asset is impaired or the event previously causing the impairment no longer exists, the Hua Fei Group has to exercise judgement in the area of asset impairment, particularly in assessing: (1) whether an event has occurred that may effect the asset value or such event affecting the asset value has not been in existence; (2) whether the carrying value of an asset can be supported by net present value of future cash flows which are estimated based upon the continued use of the asset or rerecognition; and (3) the appropriate key assumptions to be applied in preparing cash flow projections including whether these cash flow projections are discounted using an appropriate rate. Changing the assumptions selected by management to determine the level of impairment, including the discount rates or the growth rate assumptions in the cash flow projections, could materially affect the net present value used in the impairment test.

Estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the Group’s assets and liabilities within the next financial year in respect of impairment test of assets.

The Group determines whether an asset is impaired at least on an annual basis or where an indication of impairment exists. This requires an estimation of the value in use of the asset. Estimating the value in use requires the Group to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the assets and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.

4. Outlook

Over the recent three years, with the rapid development of flat panel TV technology such as Plasma Display Panel (PDP ) television and Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) television, development of Cathode Ray Tube (“CRT”) television was somehow affected, as shown by declining prices along with the increasingly intensified market competitions. However, as CRT televisions feature competitive edges such as low price, long useful life and reliable quality, they were still favoured by a majority of common consumers. Besides, there remained potential to further reduce product costs of Cathode Ray Tube. Thus for a rather long period to come, CRT televisions will continue to be the mainstream of TV markets in China and many other countries.

Hua Fei will continue to expand its CRT business, further reduce costs and improve quality, while developing new products and enlarge overseas market. Especially super-slim CRT products will be launched nationwide to secure its competitive edge and steady development. Accordingly, the Directors believed Hua Fei can achieve desirable operating results in the future.

PROPERTY VALUATION OF HUA FEI GROUP

APPENDIX IV

The following is the text of a letter, summary of values and valuation certificates, prepared for the purpose of incorporation in this circular received from Vigers Appraisal & Consulting Limited, an independent valuer, in connection with its valuation as at 31 March 2006 of the property interests of Hua Fei Group.

Vigers Appraisal & Consulting Limited

International Assets Appraisal Consultants

10th Floor, The Grande Building 398 Kwun Tong Road Kowloon Hong Kong

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

30 June 2006

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 Hua Fei Color Display Systems Company Limited (華飛彩色顯示系統有限公司) (the “Hua Fei”) or its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Hua Fei 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 31 March 2006 (the “date of valuation”) for the purpose of incorporation 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”.

Due to the nature of the buildings and structure of the properties, there is a lack of evidence of comparable transaction. In valuing the property interests, we have adopted a combination of the market and depreciated replacement cost approaches respectively in assessing the land portions of the properties, and the buildings and structures standing on the land. The sum of the two results represents the market value of the properties as a whole. In the valuation of the land portions, reference has been made to the standard land prices in the relevant cities and the sales evidences as available to us in the locality. 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.

— 158 —

PROPERTY VALUATION OF HUA FEI GROUP

APPENDIX IV

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.

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, we have relied on the legal opinion provided by the Group’s PRC legal adviser, Jiangsu FD Yongheng Law Firm (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.

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. Our valuation is prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary expenses or delays will be incurred during construction period.

PROPERTY VALUATION OF HUA FEI GROUP

APPENDIX IV

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”).

Unless otherwise stated, all monetary amounts stated are in Renminbi (RMB). The exchange rates adopted as at 31 March 2006 was HK$1=RMB1.03 and as at 31 December 2005 was HK$1 = RMB1.04.

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

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of Vigers Appraisal & Consulting Limited Raymond Ho Kai Kwong Registered Professional Surveyor MRICS MHKIS MSc(e-com) Executive Director

Note: Raymond K. K. Ho, Chartered Surveyor, MRICS, MHKIS has over nineteen years’ experience in undertaking valuations of properties in Hong Kong and Macau and has over twelve years’ experience in the valuation of properties in the PRC. Mr. Ho has been working with Vigers Group since 1989.

APPENDIX V

The following is the text of a letter and summary of values for the purpose of incorporation in this circular received from Vigers Appraisal & Consulting Limited, an independent valuer, in connection with its valuation as at 31 March 2006 of the machinery and equipment interests of Hua Fei Group.

Vigers Appraisal & Consulting Limited

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

30 June 2006

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 certain property consisting of plant and equipment (herein referred to as the “Equipment”) exhibited to us as being owned by Hua Fei Colour Display Systems Company Limited (referred to as the “Company”), 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 with our opinion of the market value of the Equipment as at 31st March 2006.

Basis of Valuation

We have valued the Equipment on the basis of its market value which is defined as 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 forming our opinion of the market value, we have assumed that the Equipment will continue in its present existing use in the business of the Company for which it was designed, built and erected, subject to potential profitability of the business.

The opinion of market value (in-place) as installed for intended utilization is not necessarily meant to represent the amount that might be realized from piecemeal disposition of the subject Equipment in the open market or from alternative use of the Equipment.

MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT VALUATION OF HUA FEI GROUP

APPENDIX V

Assets Appraised

The assets subject of this valuation, as per the list provided to us, are those utilized by the Company in cathode ray tube (CRT) manufacturing that includes colour picture tube (CPT) and colour display tube (CDT), consisting of:

  • Chemical Equipment

  • Electronic and Electrical Equipment

  • Machinery Production Equipment

  • Other Equipment

  • Motor Vehicles and Transport Equipment

The plant is located at No. 1 Hua Fei Road, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, The People’s Republic of China.

The plant is a highly automated production equipped with machineries imported from European countries, USA and others. At the time of our inspection, the Equipment was observed to be in good working condition. It is our opinion that it is capable of being used for the purpose for which it was designed, built and erected. There was evidence of routine maintenance program.

Valuation Methodology

In arriving at our opinion of value, we have considered the two generally accepted approaches to values; namely:

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 arising from condition, utility, age, wear and tear, or obsolescence present, taking into consideration past and present maintenance policy and rebuilding history. This approach is best applied to assets without a known established secondhand market comparable.

Physical depreciation is the loss in value due to physical deterioration resulting from wear and tear in operation and exposure to elements. Deterioration due to age and deterioration due to usage are the main factors that affect physical condition. Physical condition due to wear and tear is proportional to use rather than age. Use is the best indicator to estimate physical deterioration.

— 171 —

APPENDIX V MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT VALUATION OF HUA FEI GROUP

Market Data or Comparative Sales 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 market comparative. Asset for which there is an established secondhand market comparable is best appraised by this approach.

Scope of Investigation, Assumptions and Considerations

Before arriving at our opinion of value, we have personally conducted a physical inventory and inspection of the subject Equipment, investigated market condition, interviewed personnel, and examined documents and specifications provided to us.

During our inspection we observed the various Equipment. Any deferred maintenance, physical wear and tear, operating malfunctions, lack of utility, or any observable conditions distinguishing the appraised assets from assets of like kind in new conditions were noted and made part of our judgement in arriving at the values.

Consideration has been given to accrued depreciation that was based on the observed condition and present and prospective serviceability in comparison with new units of like kind.

We have assumed that the Equipment will be used in its present existing state with the benefit of continuity of the tenure of land and buildings during the foreseeable future.

We have relied to a considerable extent on information such as records, listings and specifications provided to us by the Company. We have made no investigation of and assume no responsibility for titles to or liabilities against the Equipment appraised.

We have not made any deduction in respect of any grant either available or received, neither has any adjustment been made for any outstanding amounts owing under financing agreements.

Our investigation was restricted to a physical inspection and appraisal of the subject Equipment and does not attempt to arrive at any conclusion of values of the Company as a total business entity.
