The Land

— 2 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Nanjing Huage has obtained the state-owned land use rights certificate of the Land for a term of 50 years until 19 June 2057. The Land is currently occupied by Nanjing Huage for industrial use and for its self-use. According to the PRC Legal Opinion, Nanjing Huage has the right to transfer the land use rights of the Land free from any mortgages, legal charges, order and other encumbrances.

Pursuant to the Agreement, Nanjing Huage agreed to transfer the land use rights pertaining to the Land and Nanjing Handa agreed to accept such transfer at the Consideration.

Completion

Completion is conditional upon fulfillment of the following conditions:

  1. the parties having attended the Land and Mineral Management Office of Nanjing City and filed an application to the Land Bureau for the transfer of the state-owned land use rights within 30 days of the signing of the Agreement; and

  2. all registration and transfer procedures relating to the Agreement having been completed.

Consideration and payment terms

The aggregate amount payable by Nanjing Handa to Nanjing Huage under the Agreement shall be RMB52,953,800 (approximately HK$59,837,794) which shall be paid in the following manner:

  1. RMB21,000,000 (approximately HK$23,730,000), representing 39.66% of the Consideration, will be paid in cash within 5 days of the signing of the Agreement, and

  2. RMB31,953,800 (approximately HK$36,107,794), representing 60.34% of the Consideration, will be paid in cash within 5 days upon Completion.

According to the latest Valuation Report, the Valuer assessed the market value of the Land as being RMB52,000,000 (approximately HK$59,090,000) at 30 June 2009. The valuation letter and valuation certificate prepared by the Valuer are included in Appendix I to this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Land has been used by Nanjing Huage as its production and operation facilities, and hence the Land did not generate any revenue or profits to the Group for the years ended 31 December 2007 and 2008. According to the audited accounts of Nanjing Huage as at 31 December 2008, the book value of the Land amounted to RMB37,104,896 (approximately HK$41,928,532). The land use rights pertaining to the Land was classified under “intangible assets” in Nanjing Huage’s latest audited accounts.

The proceeds arising from the Transfer will be used as general working capital of the Group.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE TRANSFER

Upon Completion, it is estimated that Nanjing Huage will record an unaudited gain before taxation of approximately RMB15,848,904 (approximately HK$17,909,262). Hence, the earnings of the Group will increase as a result of the Transfer and the consolidation of the financial statements of Nanjing Huage, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Directors are of the view that the Transfer will have no immediate material financial effect on the Company.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE TRANSFER

Since the Company’s acquisition of the Property in 2008 (please refer to the Company’s announcement dated 7 November 2008 and circular dated 14 November 2008 for details), the Group had plans to integrate its major operations on the Property, thereby centralizing the management and operation of its subsidiaries and achieving cost reduction. After the Transfer (which will take place upon all registration, transfer and legal procedures relating to the Agreement have been completed), Nanjing Huage will be relocated to the Property, which comprises a parcel of industrial land with a site area of approximately 129,197.50 square meters and with not less than four factory buildings constructed thereon. The Property is situated in the Nanjing Economic and Technological Development Zone. It is expected that the Property can accommodate all production facilities of Nanjing Huage. After the relocation and the completion of change of registered address of Nanjing Huage, Nanjing Huage can enjoy the preferential tax treatment in the development zone. Further, as many of the customers of Nanjing Huage are located in the development zone, Nanjing Huage can reduce transportation costs and overall production costs.

As a result of the Transfer, an unaudited gain before taxation of approximately RMB15,848,904 (approximately HK$17,909,262) is expected to be accrued to the Group. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors), having taken into account the Valuation Report, the current market conditions and the objective to maximize the profits of the Group, are of the view that it would be more cost effective for Nanjing Huage to transfer the land use rights of the Land and thereafter to relocate to the Property.

Based on the reasons above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) believe that the Transfer is on normal commercial terms which are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

(1) Background of the Transfer

The Agreement

On 10 August 2009, Nanjing Huage, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Agreement with Nanjing Handa, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PEGL (being the controlling shareholder of the Company), pursuant to which Nanjing Huage agreed to transfer the land use rights pertaining to the Land to Nanjing Handa at the cash Consideration of RMB52,953,800 (equivalent to approximately HK$59,837,794).

LETTER FROM GUANGDONG SECURITIES

Information on the Land

As extracted from the Board Letter, the Land is situated at No. 3 Lianhecun Road, Shimenkan, Baixia District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, the PRC(中國江蘇省南京市白下區石門坎聯合村3號)and occupies approximately 70,231.90 square meters. The Land is currently used by Nanjing Huage for its production and operation facilities.

Based on the state-owned land use right certificate(國有土地使用證)(Document No.: Ningbai Guo Yong (2007) No. 11873) registered on 28 September 2007, Nanjing Huage has the right to use the Land for a term of 50 years expiring on 19 June 2057 for industrial purpose. In addition, according to the PRC legal opinion, Nanjing Huage has the right to transfer the land use rights of the Land free from any mortgages, legal charges, order and other encumbrances.

From the Board Letter, we noted that the book value of the Land which was amounted to RMB37,104,896 (equivalent to approximately HK$41,928,532) had been recorded in the audited accounts of Nanjing Huage as at 31 December 2008 under the classification of intangible assets. Nevertheless, the Land did not generate any revenue or profits to the Group during the 2007 and 2008 financial years.

With reference to the Valuation Report, the value of the land use right of the Land as assessed by the Valuer was RMB52,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$59,090,000) as at 30 June 2009. Further information on the Valuation Report is contained under the section headed “The Consideration” of this letter.

LETTER FROM GUANGDONG SECURITIES

(2) Reasons for the Transfer

According to the announcement and circular of the Company dated 7 November 2008 and 14 November 2008 respectively, the Company entered into an agreement with PEGL and Nanjing Panda Electronics Import and Export Company regarding the acquisition of the entire interest in Nanjing Panda Technology Industrial Co., Ltd., together with the Property (the “ Acquisition ”). The Company confirmed that the Acquisition has been completed.

As stated in the Board Letter, the Property is situated in the Nanjing Economic and Technological Development Zone, Nanjing City, the PRC (the “ Zone ”) and comprises a parcel of industrial land with a site area of approximately 129,197.50 square meters and with not less than four factory buildings constructed thereon for industrial use. Upon completion of the Acquisition and the Transfer, the Company will relocate the major operation of Nanjing Huage to the Property (the “ Relocation ”). With reference also to the Board Letter, the Company intends to centralise the management and operation of its subsidiaries such as the research and development centre and production premises in the same location which may achieve cost reduction and improve operation efficiency. As many of the customers of Nanjing Huage are located in the Zone, the Directors also expect that Nanjing Huage could be able to reduce transportation costs and overall production costs after the Relocation. Moreover, when the change of registered address of Nanjing Huage is completed after the Relocation, Nanjing Huage can enjoy the preferential tax treatment in the Zone.

We have discussed with the management of the Company regarding the aforesaid possible benefits of the Relocation. As advised by the Directors, besides Nanjing Huage, the Group plans to relocate several other major subsidiaries of the Company to the Property. In addition, the Directors represented that Nanjing Sharp Electronics Co., Ltd.(南京夏普電子有限公司), being a major customer of Nanjing Huage, is also located in the Zone. Based on our search from the website of the Zone (http://www.njxg.com/www/njxg/ ckjg3.htm), we understand that enterprises which are located in the Zone are entitled to preferential tax treatment.

The Directors confirmed that the Company has decided on the Relocation given the aforementioned benefits. For this reason, the Directors proposed the Transfer in order to provide cash inflow to the Group and thereby improving the flexibility of the Group’s working capital.

Taking into account the reasons for the Transfer as outlined above, we are of the view that the rationale of the Transfer is justifiable and the Transfer is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Consideration, we have reviewed and enquired into the Valuer regarding the methodology of, and basis and assumptions adopted for the valuation of the land use right of the Land (the “ Valuation ”).

We understand from the Valuer that it has adopted the market approach for the Valuation. According to the Valuer, the market approach is commonly adopted for valuation of land use right in the PRC and it is also consistent with normal market practice. During the course of our discussion with the Valuer, we have not identified any major factors which cause us to doubt the fairness and reasonableness of the principal basis and assumptions adopted for the Valuation.

In light of that the Valuation was fairly and reasonably assessed by the Valuer and the Consideration was determined based on the Valuation and it represents a premium of approximately 1.83% over the Valuation, we concur with the Directors that the Consideration is acceptable and is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

Other terms of the Agreement

We have also reviewed the other major terms of the Agreement and are not aware of any terms which are unusual. Based on the above, we are of the view that the terms of the Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

We are not, therefore, able to report that the properties are free from rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No tests were carried out on any of the services.

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.

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