To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION RENEWAL OF CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS ELECTION OF DIRECTOR

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement issued by the Company dated 15 October 2009 in relation to the amendments to the Articles of Association and the renewal of continuing connected transactions.

— 1 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board proposed to make certain amendments to the Articles of Association in accordance with the needs of the Company and in compliance with the requirements of the Company Law of the PRC. The proposed amendments to the Articles of Association are subject to approval of the Shareholders by way of passing a special resolution at the EGM.

As the Existing CCT Agreements will expire on 31 December 2009 and all, except one, of the Existing Continuing Connected Transactions are expected to continue after the expiration, the Board proposed to renew the Existing CCT Agreements. On 15 October 2009, the Company announced that the Renewed Master Agreements have been entered into between the Group and the PEGL Group.

As PEGL is the controlling shareholder of the Company holding approximately 51.10% of the total issued share capital of the Company, PEGL is a connected person of the Company and the PEGL Group is an associate of PEGL. Therefore, the Future Continuing Connected Transactions contemplated under the Renewed Master Agreements constitute a continuing connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Given that the relevant percentage ratios (other than profits ratio) calculated under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules for some of the Future Continuing Connected Transactions are expected to exceed 2.5% and the relevant Annual Caps to be more than HK$10,000,000, the Future Continuing Connected Transactions are subject to reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with (i) details of the proposed amendments to the Articles of Association; (ii) further details of the Future Continuing Connected Transactions; (iii) a letter from the Independent Board Committee with its recommendation on the Future Continuing Connected Transactions to the Independent Shareholders; (iv) a letter from Guangdong Securities containing its advice on the Future Continuing Connected Transactions to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders; (v) details of election of Director; and (vi) a notice of the EGM.

I. AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

The Board proposed to make certain amendments to the Articles of Association in accordance with the needs of the Company and in compliance with the requirements of the Company Law of the PRC. The proposed amendments to the Articles of Association are subject to approval of the Shareholders by way of passing a special resolution at the EGM. The unofficial English translation of the proposed amendments to the Articles of Association is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

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

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

II. RENEWAL OF CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

As announced by the Company on 11 December 2006, the Company entered into the Existing CCT Agreements with the PEGL Group for a term of three years commencing from 1 January 2007 to 31 December 2009. The Existing Continuing Connected Transactions include the mutual provision of subcontracting services and composite services, the mutual provision of material, components and parts, the import and export agency services provided by the PEGL Group to the Group, the licensing of PANDA Trademark by the Group to the PEGL Group, and the mutual leasing of factory premises.

The Existing CCT Agreements will expire on 31 December 2009 and most of the Existing Continuing Connected Transactions are expected to continue after the expiration. The Board proposed to renew the Existing CCT Agreements, except the land/factory premises lease agreement relating to the provision of land use right and factory premises by the PEGL Group to the Group, as the acquisition of land by the Company in late 2008 has provided sufficient factory premises for the Group (please refer to the Company’s announcement dated 7 November 2008 and circular dated 14 November 2008 for details). Apart from the amount of the Annual Caps, there is no material difference between the Existing CCT Agreements and the Renewed Master Agreements.

9. Annual Cap:

The proposed Annual Cap of not exceeding RMB30,000,000 has been determined with reference to (i) the Company’s estimate of future growth in its production volume; and (ii) the Company’s plan to purchase more materials, components and parts from the PEGL Group and its associates, in particular CEC, NEIIC and their subsidiaries, in the coming three financial years ending 31 December 2012 in line with the development of the Group’s business.

The Board notes that the proposed Annual Cap of RMB30,000,000 is the double of the existing Annual Cap of RMB15,000,000. The significant increase in the Annual Cap is in line with the development of the Company. In 2007 and 2008, the Company experienced strong growth in the businesses of electronic manufacturing products and electronic information products. According to the Company’s annual reports, the sales income generated from electronic manufacturing products were RMB237,224,000, RMB305,820,000 and RMB407,647,000 for the three years ended 31 December 2006, 2007 and 2008 respectively, and the sales income generated from electronic information products were RMB192,728,000, RMB276,672,000 and RMB339,192,000 for the three years ended 31 December 2006, 2007 and 2008 respectively. In view of the strong growth, the Company expects to purchase more supporting materials, components and parts from the PEGL Group in the next three years.

— 11 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Moreover, the proposed increase in the Annual Cap has also taken into account state policy. The State Council of the PRC has recently announced a series of industrial restructuring and revitalization schemes, such as the Electronic and Information Industry Adjustment and Revitalization Plan (《電子信息產業調整和振興規劃》)and the Electronic and Information Industry and Technological Advancement and Technological Transformation Investment Direction 2009-2011(《電子信息產業技術進步和技術改造 投資方向2009-2011》)in order to promote further development of the national economy. Considering the above, the Company believes that its electronic manufacturing and electronic information businesses will continue to develop prosperously in the next three years.

(E) PROVISION OF IMPORT & EXPORT AGENCY SERVICES BY THE PEGL GROUP

1. Agreement: Import and Export Agency Agreement(進出口代理合同) 2. Date: 15 October 2009 3. Term: From 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2012 4. Parties: (i) The Company (ii) Import & Export Company 5. Nature of Transaction: Provision of services of importing certain raw materials and parts necessary for the Group’s production activities and exporting certain products abroad by the Import & Export Company. During the three financial years ending 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 respectively, the Group will continue appointing Import & Export Company as its non-exclusive import and export agent in respect of its electromechanical and other products and businesses.

— 12 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

6. Reasons for Transaction:

Two of the Company’s subsidiaries, namely Nanjing Panda Information Industry Co., Ltd. and Nanjing Panda Electronic Manufacture Co., Ltd have now in their possession import and export rights to trade their own products. As such, the demand for import and export agency services from the Import & Export Company will decrease in the future. However, considering the favourable import and export channels and the service advantages provided by the Import & Export Company, the Company is of the view that the continuation of such arrangement will provide the Group with excellent import and export agency services and thus are beneficial to and in the interest of the Group.

7. Pricing basis:

The import and export agency services to be charged by the Import & Export Company will continue to be conducted on arm’s length negotiation between the parties and on normal commercial terms with reference to (1) the prevailing market prices, being prices not higher than those offered by an independent third party for similar import and export services in the PRC; and (2) the historical agency fees agreed between the parties, being approximately 1.5% agency fees on the total value of goods imported and approximately 3% agency fees on the total value of goods exported through the Import & Export Company. As the number and value of the goods involved are different, the agency fees will be charged on a transaction basis and subject to adjustments. According to the Import & Export Agency Agreement, in the event that there are disputes over the amount of agency fees payable after adjustments, the Company shall appoint an independent international accountant to determine a fair and reasonable agency fees with reference to the sales reports, invoices, receipts and other relevant documents relating to such transaction, and the decision made by the independent international accountant is final and binding.

The proposed Annual Cap of not exceeding RMB1,000,000 has been determined with reference to (i) the historical transaction amounts of the import and export services provided by the PEGL Group; and (ii) the establishment of the Company’s own import and export entities as mentioned in paragraph 6 “Reasons for the Transaction” above and hence the expected drastic drop in the demand for import and export agency services from the PEGL Group in the coming three financial years ending 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012.

The right to use the PANDA Trademark granted by the Group to the PEGL Group are non-exclusive. The PEGL Group undertakes to protect and to procure its related parties to protect the PANDA Trademark during the term of the Trademark Licence Agreement. The Company shall file a copy of the Trademark Licence Agreement with the State Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce (國家工商行政管理局商標局)within 3 months of the signing of the said agreement.

6. Reasons for Transaction:

  • The grant of the right to use the PANDA Trademark to the PEGL Group can provide the Group with a stable source of income and can enhance the brand popularity of “PANDA” which in turn helps generate more revenue for the Group in future. Hence, the continuation of such transaction is beneficial to and in the interest of the Group.

7. Pricing basis:

The licence fees payable by the PEGL Group to the Group for the right to use the PANDA Trademark will continue to be conducted on arm’s length negotiation between the parties and on normal commercial terms with reference to (i) the overall business of the television set markets in the PRC; and (ii) the market prices paid by other similar entities (if any) for the use of the PANDA Trademark. In view of the severe competition in the television set and electronic product markets in the PRC, the licence fees per unit shall be at the same level as that charged under the previous Trademark Licence Agreement which are as follows:

License
Type of products fee per unit
Colour television set (34" and above) RMB5.00
Colour television set (29") RMB4.00
Colour television set (25") RMB3.00
Colour television set (21") RMB2.00

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The above licence fee per unit will be reduced in respect of products that are manufactured and sold for export purpose or incurred loss, in view of greater costs and resources required to penetrate into the overseas markets.

8. Historical Figures:

The historical amount of trademark licence fees paid by the PEGL Group to the Group are as follows:

6 months Year Year
ended ended ended
30 Jun 31 Dec 31 Dec
2009 2008 2007
(unaudited) (audited) (audited)
Amount
(RMB’000) * see Note 192 133
  • Note: As the trademark licence fees is payable by PEGL annually at the end of each calendar year for the three years ending 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009, the trademark licence fees for 2009 cannot be ascertained at the date of this circular, but in any event it will not exceed the existing Annual Cap.

9. Annual Cap:

The proposed Annual Cap of not exceeding RMB3,000,000 has been determined with reference to (i) the historical licence fees paid by the PEGL Group to the Group; and (ii) the Company’s estimate of a substantial increase in the demand for the PANDA Trademark from the PEGL Group and its associates, in particular one of the major productions of CEC in the coming years is liquid crystal diode (“LCD”) televisions sets. According to the website of Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the PRC(中華人民共和國工業和信息化部) , Nanjing City Government, CEC, NEIIC and representative of SHARP entered into cooperation agreements concerning the eighth generation LCD products on 31 August 2009. Pursuant to the agreements, a SHARP LCD research and development centre will be set up and the sixth generation of LCD production lines and technologies will be introduced to the PRC. Hence, it is expected that PEGL Group and its associates would have greater demand for the use of PANDA Trademark in their LCD products in the next three years.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board notes that the proposed Annual Cap of RMB3,000,000 is a significant increase from the existing Annual Cap of RMB1,000,000. In addition to the reasons stated above, the Company also considers the effects and benefits from the Government’s “subsidies on electronic home appliances for rural areas” policy. The Company noted that PEGL has recently been included in the List of Products and Enterprises relating to Subsidies on Electronic Home Appliances for Rural Areas(《家電下鄉補貼產品及企業名 單》). Hence, it is expected that PEGL shall gradually expand its development and production in colour TVs, which in turn would increase the demand for PANDA Trademark in the next three years.

(G) LEASE OF FACTORY PREMISES BY THE GROUP

1. Agreement: Factory Premises Lease Agreement(廠房租賃合同) 2. Date: 15 October 2009 3. Term: From 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2012 4. Parties: (i) The Company (ii) PEGL 5. Nature of Transaction:

Lease of vacant factory premises by the Group to the PEGL Group which are situated at No. 301, Zhongshan Road East, Nanjing City and Nanjing New Economic and Technological Zone, for the purpose of manufacture and operation. The total annual rent will not exceed RMB500,000 which are payable per year within 7 days before the end of each calendar year. Depending on the needs of the PEGL Group and the availability of premises offered by the Group, the actual area of premises available for rent and the duration of the lease may be different from time to time. Considering the above and the cap of the rental per year is not very significant, the Company is of the view that for the purpose of administrative efficiency the rental payable by the PEGL Group to the Group shall be charged on an annual basis instead of on a monthly basis.

— 17 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

6. Reasons for Transaction:

The lease of the factory premises by the Group to the PEGL Group can make good use of the existing idle resources of the Group and provide the Group with a stable source of income. Therefore, the continuation of such arrangement is beneficial to and in the interest of the Group.

7. Pricing basis:

The lease of factory premises by the Group to the PEGL Group will continue to be conducted on arm’s length negotiation between the parties and on normal commercial terms with reference to the prevailing market prices, being prices no less favourable than those accepted or offered by an independent third party for similar leases in similar locations in the PRC.

8. Historical Figures:

The amount of rental has fluctuated over the 2 years ended 31 December 2007 and 2008 and 6 months ended 30 June 2009 because the actual area of premises that was rented to the PEGL Group was different from time to time. The historical amounts of rental paid by the PEGL Group to the Group are as follows:

6 months Year Year ended ended ended 30 Jun 31 Dec 31 Dec 2009 2008 2007 (unaudited) (audited) (audited)

Amount

(RMB’000) 198 101 1,010

9. Annual Cap: The proposed Annual Cap of not exceeding RMB500,000, which has been determined with reference to (i) the historical rental paid by the PEGL Group to the Group; and (ii) the estimated drop in the demand for lease of factory premises from the PEGL Group, considering that Nanjing Panda Handa Technology Company Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PEGL, has recently acquired certain land use rights for a piece of land for industrial use and hence it may not be necessary for the PEGL Group to rent substantial factory premises from the Group or other parties.

As referred to in the Board Letter, PEGL is a controlling shareholder of the Company and it also holds 100% of the shareholding interest in the Import & Export Company, PEGL and the Import & Export Company are therefore considered to be connected persons of the Company. Since the relevant percentage ratios of the Future Continuing Connected Transactions as calculated in accordance with Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules are above 2.5% and the relevant Future Annual Caps (as being defined in the latter section of this letter) are more than HK$10,000,000, the Future Continuing Connected Transactions constitute non-exempt continuing connected transactions for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and are subject to approval of the Independent Shareholders at the EGM by way of poll. PEGL, the PEGL Group and their respective associates are required to abstain from voting on the relevant resolutions to approve the Future Continuing Connected Transactions (together with the Future Annual Caps) at the EGM.

As the number and value of the goods involved are different, the agency fees will be charged on a transaction basis and subject to adjustments. According to the Import & Export Agency Agreement, in the event that there are disputes over the amount of agency fees payable after adjustments, the Company shall appoint an independent international accountant to determine a fair and reasonable agency fee with reference to the sales reports, invoices, receipts and other relevant documents relating to such transaction, and the decision made by the independent international accountant shall be final and binding.

  • (ii) PEGL

Depending on the needs of the PEGL Group and the availability of premises offered by the Group, the actual area of premises available for rent and the duration of the lease may be different from time to time.

Other terms of the Renewal Master Agreements

Other than the above listed terms, we have also reviewed the other major terms of the Renewed Master Agreements and are not aware of any terms which are unusual. From the Board Letter and as also highlighted above, we noted that each of the Future Continuing Connected Transactions will be conducted on normal commercial terms or on terms no less favourable than those offered by an independent third party for similar goods/services/trademark/premise. For our due diligence purpose, we have reviewed the sale and purchase agreements and services agreements entered into between the Group and other third parties indicating specifically the price and payment terms, and we noted that the pricing basis and the terms of the Renewed Master Agreements are in line with the general practice of the Company. In light of the foregoing, we consider that the terms of the Renewal Master Agreements are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

(4) The Future Annual Caps

Each of the Future Continuing Connected Transactions will be subject to, among other things, the Annual Caps for each of the three years ending 31 December 2012 (the “ Future Annual Caps ”). From the Board Letter, we noted that the historical amounts of the actual transactions and the Future Annual Caps for each of the Future Continuing Connected Transactions are as follow:

As the trademark licence fees are payable by PEGL annually at the end of each calendar year for the two years ended 31 December 2007, 2008 and the year ending 31 December 2009, the trademark licence fees for 2009 could not be ascertained at the Latest Practicable Date, but in any event it will not exceed the relevant existing Annual Cap.

LETTER FROM GUANGDONG SECURITIES

The Directors confirmed that the Future Annual Caps were determined generally with reference to (i) the historical amounts of the actual transactions for the Future Continuing Connected Transactions recorded in the two years ended 31 December 2008 and the six months ended 30 June 2009; and (ii) the expected demand for the goods/services and use of the trademark/premise under the respective Future Continuing Connected Transactions given the projected business development of the Group as well as the PEGL Group.

To assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Future Annual Caps, we have discussed with the management of the Company regarding the basis and assumptions underlying the projections of the Future Annual Caps.

As set forth in the section headed “Information on the Group” of this letter, the Group is principally engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of satellite products, electromechanical instrument products, electronic information products, and the electronic manufacturing business. We understand from the management of the Company that the Group has been providing the relevant goods/services and the use of trademark/premise to the PEGL Group (or vice versa, as the case may be) and there have been upstream and downstream business linkages between the Group and the PEGL Group since the listing of the Company on the Stock Exchange in 1996.

According to the Board Letter, the Future Annual Caps under CCT 1 were estimated based on (i) the historical transaction amounts of the sub-contracting and composite services provided by the Group; (ii) the terms of the subject agreement which does not contain a provision requiring the PEGL Group to exclusively obtain services from the Group; and (iii) the estimated drop in the demand for the subcontracting and composite services from the PEGL Group. Regarding point (iii) above, we have enquired into the management of the Company and were informed by the management of the Company that the estimated drop in the demand for the sub-contracting and composite services from the PEGL Group is due to a change in the relevant production process which requires less of such sub-contracting and composite services.

According to the Board Letter, the Future Annual Caps under CCT 2 were estimated based on (i) the historical transaction amounts of the sub-contracting and composite services provided by the PEGL Group; (ii) the Company’s estimate of its demand for raw materials and semi-finished products for its future development; and (iii) the Company’s estimate of its demand for composite services. We have discussed with the management of the Company regarding the aforementioned basis for determining the Future Annual Caps under CCT 2.

LETTER FROM GUANGDONG SECURITIES

As for the Future Annual Caps under CCT 3 and CCT 4, we noted from the Board Letter that the Future Annual Caps under CCT 3 were estimated based on (i) the Company’s estimate of the huge demand for materials, components and parts from the PEGL Group and its associates, in particular CEC and NEIIC, which are expanding their production of liquid crystal diode television sets; (ii) the estimated increase in transactions with CEC which is one of the major state-owned conglomerates within the electronic field in the PRC holding numerous highly specialised electronic information and related enterprises; and (iii) the development of advanced technology by the Company within the electronics manufacturing field, and the Company’s adoption of scientific management methods which in turn enable the Group to provide quality materials, components and parts to satisfy the orders from CEC and NEIIC in accordance with their developments and requests. In addition, based on our discussion with the management of the Company and as also referred to in the Board Letter, the Board noted that the Future Annual Caps under CCT 3 of RMB280,000,000 is a significant increase from the existing Annual Cap of RMB25,000,000 as well as the actual amount of such transaction of approximately RMB23,236,000 for the year ended 31 December 2008. The management of the Company explained that such significant increase is due to the estimated rise in the number of transactions with CEC and the projected income generated through the sales transactions with CEC in the coming three financial years ending 31 December 2012, after also considering the scale of operation of CEC in the PRC. Upon our request, the Company provided us with the relevant transaction proposal between the Group and PEGL Group. According to the aforesaid transaction proposal, the demand for materials, components and parts from the PEGL Group may reach RMB280,000,000, based on its scale of operation.

Whereas the Future Annual Caps under CCT 4 were estimated based on (i) the Company’s estimate of future growth in its production volume; and (ii) the Company’s plan to purchase more materials, components and parts from the PEGL Group and its associates, in particular CEC, NEIIC and their respective subsidiaries, in the coming three years ending 31 December 2012 which is in line with the development of the Group’s business. According to the Board Letter, the Board also noted that the proposed Future Annual Caps of RMB30,000,000 doubles that of the existing Annual Cap of RMB15,000,000 as well as the actual amount of such transaction of approximately RMB11,773,000 for the year ended 31 December 2008. We have discussed with the management of the Company and as represented by the management of the Company, the substantial increase in the Future Annual Caps under CCT 4 aligns with the development of the Company. As further explained by the management of the Company, in 2007 and 2008, the Company experienced strong growth in the businesses of electronic manufacturing products and electronic information products. With reference to the Company’s annual reports, the sales income generated from electronic manufacturing products were RMB237,224,000, RMB305,820,000 and RMB407,647,000 for the three years ended 31 December 2006, 2007 and 2008 respectively, and the sales income generated from electronic information products were RMB192,728,000, RMB276,672,000 and RMB339,192,000 for the three years ended 31 December 2006, 2007 and 2008 respectively. In view of such strong growth, the Company expected to purchase more supporting materials, components and parts from the PEGL Group in the next three years.

LETTER FROM GUANGDONG SECURITIES

As referred to in the Board Letter and depicted by the table in the section headed “Information on the Group” of this letter, the Company experienced strong growth in the businesses of electronic manufacturing products and electronic information products. The management of the Company advised that such strong growth in businesses was primarily resulting from the new state policy which comprised a series of industrial restructuring and revitalisation schemes, such as the Electronic and Information Industry Adjustment and Revitalisation Plan (《電子信息產業調整和振興規劃》) and the Electronic and Information Industry and Technological Advancement and Technological Transformation Investment Direction 20092011 (《電子信息產業技術進步和技術改造投資方向2009-2011》) for the purpose of promoting further development of the national economy. As represented by the management of the Company, the significant increase in the Future Annual Caps under CCT 3 and CCT 4 is attributable to the aforesaid factor which is expected to further trigger (i) the demand for materials, components and parts for manufacture of television sets, shortwave communication products and trading business as well as office information products from the PEGL Group; and (ii) the demand for materials, components and parts for production of satellite communication, information and electromechanical products from the Group. For our due diligence purpose, we have requested for further information on the Electronic and Information Industry Adjustment and Revitalisation Plan (《電子信息產業調整和振興規劃》) and the Electronic and Information Industry and Technological Advancement and Technological Transformation Investment Direction 20092011 (《電子信息產業技術進步和技術改造投資方向2009-2011》) from the Company and have also discussed the expected impact of these two state policies on the PRC’s electronic industry with the management of the Company. In this regard, we concur with the management of the Company’s belief that the Company’s electronic manufacturing and electronic information businesses will continue to develop prosperously in the next three years.

From the Board Letter, we noted that the Future Annual Caps under CCT 5 were estimated based on (i) the historical transaction amounts of the import and export services provided by the PEGL Group; and (ii) the decrease in demand for the import and export agent services. In this relation, we understand from the management of the Company that following the establishment of the Company’s own import and export entities, namely Nanjing Panda Information Industry Co., Ltd. and Nanjing Panda Electronic Manufacture Co. Ltd., which have now obtained their own import and export rights to trade their own products, there would likely to be a drastic drop in the demand for import and export agency services from the Group provided by the PEGL Group.

LETTER FROM GUANGDONG SECURITIES

In addition, according to the Board Letter, the Future Annual Caps under CCT 6 were estimated with reference to (i) the historical licence fees paid by the PEGL Group to the Group; and (ii) the Company’s estimate of a substantial increase in the demand for the PANDA Trademark from the PEGL Group and its associates, in particular that one of the major productions of CEC in the coming years will be liquid crystal diode (“ LCD ”) televisions sets. As advised by the management of the Company and also presented in the website of Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the PRC (中華人民共和國工業 和信息化部), Nanjing City Government, CEC, NEIIC and representative of SHARP entered into three cooperation agreements concerning (i) the eighth generation LCD products on 31 August 2009; (ii) the setting up a SHARP LCD research and development centre; and (iii) the introduction of the sixth generation of LCD production lines and technologies into the PRC. Therefore, the management of the Company expected that the PEGL Group and its associates would increase their demand for the use of the PANDA Trademark in their LCD products substantially in the next three years. The Board also noted that the proposed Future Annual Caps under CCT 6 of RMB3,000,000 is a significant increase from the existing Annual Cap of RMB1,000,000 as well as the actual amount of such transaction of approximately RMB192,000 for the year ended 31 December 2008. In addition to the reasons stated above, the management of the Company also confirmed with us that the Company has also considered the effects and benefits from the PRC Government’s “subsidies on electronic home appliances for rural areas” policy. The Company noted that PEGL has recently been included in the List of Products and Enterprises relating to Subsidies on Electronic Home Appliances for Rural Areas(《家電下鄉補貼產品及企業名單》). Hence, it is expected that PEGL would gradually expand its development and production in colour TVs, which in turn would increase the demand for the PANDA Trademark in the next three years.

Lastly, the Future Annual Caps under CCT 7 were estimated based on (i) the historical rental paid by the PEGL Group to the Group; and (ii) the estimated drop in the demand for lease of factory premises from the PEGL Group. With reference to the Board Letter and the announcement of the Company dated 10 August 2009, Nanjing Panda Handa Technology Company Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PEGL, has acquired a parcel of industrial land with not less than four factory buildings constructed thereon for industrial use. In light of the above, the demand for lease of factory premises from the PEGL Group is expected to drop.

Taking into account the foregoing basis for determining the Future Annual Caps, we consider that the Future Annual Caps for each of the three years ending 31 December 2012 are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned. Although the Future Annual Caps under CCT3, CCT4 and CCT 6 represent a significant increase from their respective existing Annual Caps, having considered the reasons and basis for the respective increase as explained by the management of the Company, we are of the view that the Future Annual Caps under CCT3 , CCT4 and CCT6 may still be attainable.

Shareholders should note that as the Future Annual Caps are relating to future events and were estimated based on assumptions which may or may not remain valid for the entire period up to 31 December 2012, and they do not represent forecasts of revenue to be generated from the Future Continuing Connected Transactions. Consequently, we express no opinion as to how closely the actual revenue to be generated under the Future Continuing Connected Transactions will correspond with the Future Annual Caps.

(5) Listing Rules implication and internal control of the Group

The Directors confirmed that the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rules 14A.37 to 14A.41 of the Listing Rules pursuant to which (i) the values of the Future Continuing Connected Transactions must be restricted by the Future Annual Caps for the three years ending 31 December 2012; (ii) the terms of the Renewed Master Agreements (including the Future Annual Caps) must be reviewed by the independent non-executive Directors annually; (iii) details of independent non-executive Directors’ annual review on the terms of the Renewed Master Agreements (including the Future Annual Caps) must be included in the Company’s subsequent published annual reports and financial accounts.
